Chapter 160 Risking Yourself
Chapter 160 Risking Yourself
After the man sat down, Bai Mengfei stood up and began to explain her understanding of Lao Gui: "Lao Gui has almost killed me several times. The reason is simple: I witnessed him killing Fanghua forensic doctor, so he wanted to kill me to silence me."
Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Zhao Fei raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Oh right, there's also Ma Lifeng, who was also harmed by Lao Gui."
Then he added, "He was delivering a package that day when he unfortunately witnessed Lao Gui committing the crime. The initial assumption is that he was murdered to silence him, and then the incident was staged to look like he accidentally fell into the water and drowned."
Of the eight people present, apart from Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Wang Tian, all of them couldn't help but murmur in amazement after hearing this.
After the whispers and murmurs subsided, Zhao Fei spoke up: "Alright, I've provided all the clues I could. Now I need a result, a result that can help solve the case. We must catch Old Ghost."
"So, everyone, please help me think of a solution now."
After hearing this, everyone fell silent.
Those who had been discussing the matter earlier were now noticeably silent.
Zhao Fei looked at them and understood that these people were clueless when it came to serious matters. In the end, he could only turn to Xiang Yuntian and the others for help.
After exchanging a glance with Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian suggested, "Actually, catching Old Ghost isn't difficult. As long as we figure out what he wants, we can trap him like a turtle in a jar. However, this is mainly the job of you scouts."
Indeed, Wang Tian, who had been relatively silent, spoke up at this point: "I completely agree with Forensic Doctor Xiang's idea, but now there's a problem: what exactly can attract Old Ghost? Money is certainly one aspect, but how can we make him willing to take this risk for money?"
"No, no, no, money is too common; everyone wants it. If it attracts a bunch of shady characters, that would be troublesome," someone objected.
Someone else suggested, "Isn't he particularly interested in Zhang Ting? Why don't we just use Zhang Ting as bait..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiang Yuntian slammed his right hand heavily on the table, startling everyone with a startled expression.
"Don't joke about this, this method is absolutely unacceptable," Xiang Yuntian said angrily.
“I don’t object to this suggestion; it’s a feasible method. Even if we don’t go looking for him, he will definitely come looking for revenge, no matter where I hide.”
Bai Mengfei did not object. She thought that her life was a gift from heaven, a second chance at life, so she said, "Since that's the case, let's go with the flow. Captain Zhao just needs to send more people to protect me secretly."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Zhao Fei immediately raised his eyebrows, revealing a look of considerable agreement.
In the end, the vote decided that Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian's dissenting votes had no effect, since even Bai Mengfei herself agreed to the plan.
After the meeting, Xiang Yuntian found Bai Mengfei, grabbed her wrist, and wouldn't let her leave.
"What are you doing?" Bai Mengfei asked.
"Come with me, I'll take you to find Captain Zhao and explain things clearly. In short, we can't take any risks with this matter."
Xiang Yuntian carefully observed the expression on Bai Mengfei's face.
Bai Mengfei lowered her eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's none of your business. This is my own choice. Let me make my own decision."
"Do you know how dangerous this is?" Xiang Yuntian asked excitedly.
Passersby glanced at them, but no one spoke; they simply hurried past.
"Do you think it's safer if I don't participate? It's just as dangerous, but this method turns a passive situation into an active one."
Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Xiang Yuntian lowered his head, but he couldn't refute it, because what Bai Mengfei said was indeed reasonable.
After some deliberation, he chose to back down and said to Bai Mengfei, "How about this, let me stay by your side to protect you, okay?"
Xiang Yuntian's eyes were full of sincerity, and his attitude was so gentle that any girl would find it hard to refuse.
At that moment, Bai Mengfei was also moved and agreed to his proposal.
However, she added a condition: "Then you have to come and live with me, instead of me moving back to your place!"
"Row!"
The moment Xiang Yuntian agreed, Bai Mengfei glanced down and saw his arm.
Xiang Yuntian's arm had almost fully recovered and appeared to be able to move freely.
Bai Mengfei was secretly happy for him, but she didn't show it.
That night, Xiang Yuntian indeed followed Bai Mengfei back to her residence.
Zhao Fei and his men had already laid a trap at Bai Mengfei's residence, just waiting for the old ghost to walk right into their trap.
At midnight, Old Ghost appeared disguised as a water changer. By then, the police officers were all starting to doze off, including the one responsible for keeping a close watch.
However, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian in the room were full of energy.
Because this room only has one bedroom.
Xiang Yuntian tossed and turned on the sofa, unable to sleep. He knew that his main mission here was to protect Bai Mengfei, so he kept a close eye on her.
Seeing that he wasn't asleep, Bai Mengfei felt embarrassed to go to sleep herself.
So the two of them just stared at each other, wide-eyed, neither of them feeling sleepy.
Just as the two were looking at each other, a loud "bang" came from the other side of the door.
The two turned around at the same time and saw the door smashed open by a bucket of water. Old Ghost rushed in quickly, holding a knife in his hand.
To protect Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian immediately stood up and bravely faced the approaching old ghost.
At this moment, they were both very puzzled. With so many police officers around, how did Old Ghost manage to break in?
And despite making such a commotion, no one even noticed.
It turned out that the police officer who stayed on the opposite building to observe was fast asleep.
None of them expected that Old Ghost would come to kill Bai Mengfei tonight to silence her.
To buy time, Xiang Yuntian raised his right hand and said, "Wait."
Old Ghost actually stopped in his tracks, and even disgustedly licked the blade with his tongue, his eyes extremely fierce.
In his panic, Xiang Yuntian thought for a moment and came up with an excuse, saying, "Before I die, can you answer a few questions for me?"
