Chapter 373 Disagreement

When Bai Mengfei asked him this question, Zhu Heng was speechless and looked somewhat embarrassed.

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian keenly sensed this from his expression.

He indeed did not inquire with the Zhen family.

"Didn't you call the Zhen family to ask about the situation?" Bai Mengfei pressed.

Zhu Heng remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, acknowledging his oversight.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but sigh heavily, lowered her head, and said seriously, "Director Zhu, how can you do this? If everyone treats cases so perfunctorily, how can we solve this case? As a leader, you should set an example."

Zhu Heng thought Bai Mengfei's words made a lot of sense, and at the same time believed that the Zhen family should be innocent, so he agreed: "Alright, then I will take you to the Zhen family now and conduct an investigation myself. After all, you know my relationship with the Zhen family, and I will try my best to avoid letting emotions influence my judgment."

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian expressed their approval of Zhu Heng's fair and selfless attitude.

So the three of them went to the Zhen family to investigate.

On their way to the Zhen family, they encountered the brother-in-law of the first female victim, Mingjing, who was also a training instructor.

"That person looks so familiar!" Xiang Yuntian said.

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and finally remembered that the person was Mingjing's brother-in-law, the Instructor. The Instructor was carrying several plastic bags, the most conspicuous of which were several stick-shaped bread rolls.

Isn't this the kind of dry food that people who don't cook for themselves often eat?

Seeing Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian watching the training instructor through the car window, Zhu Heng, who was driving, turned around and asked, "Do you know him?"

“Yes, he is Mingjing’s brother-in-law,” Bai Mengfei replied.

Zhu Heng thought for a moment, then asked, "Should we get out of the car and say hello?"

"No need, let's go to the Zhen family first!" Bai Mengfei said decisively.

Zhu Heng didn't say anything more and continued driving to the Zhen family's house.

When the car stopped in front of the Zhen family's house, Zhu Heng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Huh, that's strange. The Zhen family's door is rarely closed this tightly. Even when only my sister was home before, it wasn't like this."

After he finished speaking, he honked the horn a few times.

Upon hearing the horn, the nanny hurriedly ran out, opened the door, and let the car in.

After the car entered, Zhu Heng saw his brother-in-law, Zhen Chuan, in the garden, seemingly leisurely watering the flowers. Zhen Chuan's carefree demeanor puzzled Zhu Heng.

After getting out of the car, Zhu Heng walked up to him and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you watering the flowers?"

When Zhen Chuan saw Zhu Heng coming over, he looked flustered and hurriedly walked over to him, lowering his voice to say, "Don't talk about that here, don't let your sister know."

"Oh, I understand now." Zhu Heng suddenly realized.

Bai Mengfei carefully observed Zhen Chuan's eyes and judged his true emotions.

You could tell from Zhen Chuan's slightly reddened eyes that his relaxed demeanor was an act!

After the three of them sat down on a stone bench in the garden with Zhen Chuan, Zhu Heng explained their purpose: "Brother-in-law, we've actually come here to investigate the murderer. Forensic doctor Zhang believes that the murderer may be related to someone we know."

Zhen Chuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then asked Bai Mengfei, "So how do you plan to investigate?"

“We found skin flakes under the fingernails of the previous victim, Xiaoyun. Our initial assessment is that those skin flakes belonged to the murderer. This means that the murderer must have had scratch marks on their body,” Bai Mengfei said calmly.

Zhen Chuan understood and considerately asked, "So, are we going to examine everyone's bodies now? But can you determine which part of the body was scratched by the culprit?"

Bai Mengfei gently shook her head, a troubled expression on her face.

Zhen Chuan quickly said, "It's alright, everyone in the Zhen family can cooperate with the inspection. I can also call over the company's senior management for you to inspect."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Zhen," Bai Mengfei said gratefully.

However, after a full day of searching, they found no suspicious persons. Even Zhen Chuan himself was carefully examined by Xiang Yuntian, and no injuries were found.

"Have all the Zhen family members been checked?" Zhu Heng asked Bai Mengfei deliberately.

Bai Mengfei pondered silently to herself, without saying a word.

Xiang Yuntian sensed the awkward atmosphere and walked over to Zhu Heng, saying, "Yes, Director Zhu. The truth is clear now; the Zhen family is indeed innocent. It's getting late; they've already had lunch. Let's not disturb them for dinner, shall we?"

Just then, Bai Mengfei suddenly said, "Wait a minute!"

Zhu Heng immediately turned his head, looking at her in surprise, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes: "Forensic Doctor Zhang, do you have any more questions?"

“There is still one person here who hasn’t had their medical check-up!” Bai Mengfei said calmly and firmly.

Zhu Heng hurriedly asked, "Who?"

Bai Mengfei slowly raised her head, looked at Zhen Chuan, and then slowly said, "Madam Zhu."

Madam Zhu is Zhen Liang's mother and Zhu Heng's sister.

When Bai Mengfei uttered the name, Zhu Heng quickly reached out his right hand, grabbed Bai Mengfei's elbow, pulled her to his side, and whispered, "Are you crazy?"

Bai Mengfei glanced back at him, then calmly said, "If we're going to investigate, we need to be thorough. Otherwise, wouldn't all this trouble we've gone through to come here and investigate be for nothing?"

Zhu Heng pulled Bai Mengfei to the flowerbed and said urgently, "You know the situation. My sister must not know about this. It would be too much of a blow for her. Unlike you young people, her heart can't take it as much as it used to."

"Director Zhu, I am aware of all this," Bai Mengfei replied calmly. "But that doesn't mean we can rule her out as a suspect, does it?"

Seeing Bai Mengfei's resolute attitude, Zhu Heng suddenly became agitated: "You must be crazy, Bai Mengfei! Let me tell you, I will absolutely not let you investigate my sister! And she could never be the murderer. Think about it, how could she possibly harm her own son and cut off his finger?"

“That finger hasn’t been identified yet, so we can’t be sure it’s Zhen Liang’s! Besides, if she really is the murderer, wouldn’t grabbing her own son be the best way to cover it up? That way, we can keep her out of the running and think that she can’t be the murderer,” Bai Mengfei analyzed.

Zhu Heng immediately retorted, "But we all know the murderer is a man!"

“It just sounds like a man’s voice! In reality, we’ve never seen the killer’s face! What we saw was just a projection!” Bai Mengfei argued.
