A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 393 I Need

From the shadows, Kelly witnessed everything before quietly leaving the woods.

In fact, she was the one who tampered with the surveillance footage and the corpse.

She was thinking that doing this would leave Xiang Yuntian with no other choice but to come to her for help again. In this way, she could get closer to Xiang Yuntian, and she naively believed that through this method, their relationship would gradually warm up.

After Xiang Yuntian told Zhao Fei about the situation, Zhao Fei suggested, "Then let's find Kelly! Isn't she very capable? Maybe she can recover that missing minute of surveillance footage! I heard that the data deleted from the computer was actually just overwritten."

Seeing how eager Bai Mengfei was to know the truth, Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to take out his phone and call Kelly.

Kelly had already arrived at the bar and was eagerly awaiting Xiang Yuntian's call. After answering, she pretended to know nothing and casually asked, "Hey, why did you suddenly decide to call me?"

"Because I need your help with something! One minute of footage from the police station's surveillance cameras has disappeared," Xiang Yuntian said.

Kelly took a deep breath, frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "So you need me to come over now, right?"

"Yes, I do need you!" Xiang Yuntian knew that Kelly wanted to hear him say that.

Kelly was delighted to hear this and stood up, saying, "Okay! I'll go over now."

Upon arriving at the police station, she went straight to Zhao Fei's office.

Upon arriving at the office, she adopted an extremely arrogant posture and asked in a cold voice, "What exactly happened?"

Because he needed her help, Xiang Yuntian patiently replied, "Today, forensic doctor Zhang discovered that someone had entered the morgue while we were out eating. We originally wanted to check the surveillance footage to find out who went in, but after checking, we found that a minute of the footage was missing, as if it had been cut out."

Kelly immediately stepped forward and checked the surveillance footage on Zhao Fei's computer. After watching it, she immediately confirmed, "That's right, it was definitely cut out! And the person who did it must be a master, or someone within the police force, otherwise how could they access the system?"

"Huh? So that means we have a mole here!" Zhao Fei said in surprise.

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian immediately thought of one person... Old Chen, who was about to retire.

After all, Old Chen's behavior had always been strange, and on several occasions, it even felt like he wanted to kill them.

"Could you try to recover the contents of the surveillance footage?" Zhao Fei asked Kelly.

Kelly nodded first, then shook her head. She wasn't entirely sure if she could recover.

"Is it possible to recover?" Zhao Fei pressed.

Kelly bit her lower lip slightly and said, "I'm only 30% or 40% sure, what do you think?"

“Give it a try!” Zhao Fei said firmly.

At this point, it seemed that Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian had nothing to do with the matter anymore, and the two tacitly prepared to leave. Kelly felt dissatisfied when she saw that Xiang Yuntian was going to leave with Bai Mengfei again, leaving her to work there.

She immediately shouted, "Xiang Yuntian, stop right there! Where are you going?"

Xiang Yuntian stopped and turned to look at her, explaining, "I have other things to do."

"Have you forgotten what you just said to me on the phone?" Kelly demanded.

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then asked softly, "You mean, the sentence I said to you, 'I need you'?"

“Yes, that’s it!” Kelly nodded firmly. “But now you’ve called me here, and you’re leaving? What’s going on?”

Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but bite his lower lip secretly, and remained silent.

Bai Mengfei had no choice but to explain on his behalf: "Actually, when he said he needed you, he meant he wanted you to come and help us recover the content that had disappeared from the surveillance footage."

"Why should I?" Kelly asked, dissatisfied.

Xiang Yuntian said, "Is it okay if we're just friends?"

“What friend? Just an ordinary friend. You’ve asked me for help so many times when you’ve had important matters to attend to, just because of the word ‘friend’? You’re using me!” Kelly said as she slowly walked up to Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian didn't want to argue with her, so he silently turned his face away without saying a word.

Seeing that Xiang Yuntian remained silent, Kelly nodded slightly and said, "You're not going to talk anymore, are you? Fine! You can go with your friend! We're no longer friends, and don't come looking for me again if you need anything!"

After saying that, Kelly left angrily.

Seeing this awkward scene, Zhao Fei walked over somewhat embarrassedly and apologized to Xiang Yuntian: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for making you feel so awkward."

"It's alright," Xiang Yuntian said, and then quickly left.

Bai Mengfei noticed that Xiang Yuntian was in a bad mood, so she quickly turned around and followed him, comforting him from behind: "If you don't want to ask her for help, then don't. What's the big deal? It's not like the police don't have people who can handle this. Don't take it too hard."

Hearing Bai Mengfei comforting him, Xiang Yuntian stopped, but his head remained lowered. Kelly's behavior just now had truly humiliated him, and he felt extremely distressed.

Bai Mengfei saw this and continued to comfort him: "You really shouldn't think about this anymore."

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, forcing a smile, and said, "I understand."

"Why don't we go back and rest early? I think you..." Bai Mengfei stopped there, realizing that this matter might become a knot in Xiang Yuntian's heart for a while.

Being treated like this by someone who has always acted like they love you—anyone would feel bad in that situation.

However, the matter did not end there. Given Kelly's personality, it was far from easy for her to give up and withdraw after finally falling for someone and having liked them for so long.

So when Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei were about to leave, she hid in the shadows and quietly observed them.

She could frame even an old classmate like Jiang Shuai, so what else wouldn't she do?

She even had a terrible thought: to kill Xiang Yuntian and then commit suicide.

Halfway there, Xiang Yuntian suddenly discovered that the brakes on his new car had failed!

He quickly shifted gears and reduced the car's speed, then said to Bai Mengfei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Something's not right!"

"What's wrong?" Bai Mengfei was still unaware of what had happened.

Xiang Yuntian quickly took a deep breath and explained the situation: "The brakes seem to have failed!"

"Oh? What should we do?" Bai Mengfei also panicked, but she was mainly worried about Xiang Yuntian's safety.
