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

Chapter 362 Exchange

However, after a moment's thought, he couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for Bai Mengfei, and said, "Alright, then tell me, how do you want to play? I'll give you that chance."

Bai Mengfei's expression darkened. After a moment of contemplation, she looked towards the pedestrian crossing across the street and calmly said, "I want to exchange myself for Xiaoyun. You release her, and I'll go over there as your hostage. Anyway, Xiaoyun can't get you a single penny out of her, while I'm worth more than her, aren't I?"

"What you say seems to make some sense." The sarcastic laugh suddenly became a little hoarse. "But you're much smarter than her, I'm afraid you won't be able to control her!"

Bai Mengfei didn't explain to him, but made a rational judgment in an instant, knowing exactly how to get him to back down. In a flash, she asked, seemingly unrelated, "Are you afraid? Afraid you can't control me, are you?"

He was enraged. Although his voice had been altered with a voice changer, it couldn't hide his anger. "Who told you I was afraid? You're too arrogant! Fine, whatever you say, where do you want to exchange the hostages?"

Bai Mengfei secretly pondered the cause and effect of the entire case, and the beginning of the case should be traced back to the time when Ming Jing was murdered.

In a short while, Bai Mengfei, standing by the roadside, was lost in thought. However, those who passed by her assumed she was on the phone and no one realized how deeply she was thinking.

After quickly sorting through the past clues, in order to extract more information from him, she deliberately reversed the order and asked, "Do you know where Mingjing was murdered? You seem to know everything, so you must know that place. Let's meet at the wooden house next to the first crime scene where Mingjing was murdered."

At that moment, she was thinking to herself.

If this thug also knows the location of the wooden house, then there is a high probability that he is the murderer who killed Mingjing.

In other words, he did everything from beginning to end!

Unexpectedly, he was swayed by his emotions and, without thinking much, said directly, "Okay! Then let's meet there."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei felt a ripple in her heart, a cool sensation spreading through her chest. She was now almost certain of one thing: this person was most likely the murderer of Ming Jing!

In other words, as long as this person is caught, Mingjing's dismemberment case can be solved in one fell swoop.

Despite having so much on her mind, she remained silent, but her body began to move.

Holding the phone, she walked toward the taxi parked not far from the roadside and said to the murderer, "I'll be there now, probably in about half an hour. I hope you're not too late."

Hearing this, the murderer calmed down and asked, "Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind? With you being just a weak woman, I can not only catch you, but also keep Xiaoyun detained!"

If it were anyone else, they might be arguing with the murderer or getting angry right now. But Bai Mengfei knew in her heart that arguing with him now would be useless.

So she didn't get angry. She simply stopped walking slowly, chose to believe him, and said, "No, I believe you will keep your promise. After all, no bad person wears the word 'bad' on their face. So, if you really intended to do that, I don't think you would say it now."

Bai Mengfei's attitude completely impressed the murderer, who couldn't help but laugh and say, "Your magnanimity is truly different from that of ordinary girls."

"Alright, enough talk. I'm coming now. I hope you won't keep me waiting too long. I don't like waiting." With that, Bai Mengfei hung up the phone and got into a taxi.

Actually, she didn't completely trust the murderer; she only had a certain degree of trust. She verbally agreed to help him, but after the car started moving, she borrowed the driver's phone and secretly sent a text message to Zhu Heng.

"Chief Zhu, I'm heading to the wooden hut next to the first crime scene to meet the perpetrator. I'll make the arrest there in about 40 minutes. I'm not using my own phone to message you because I'm worried the perpetrator might use it; I trust you understand. Forensic Doctor Zhang."

After sending the text message, Bai Mengfei even deleted the message history.

She only returned the phone to the driver when they arrived at the first crime scene and were about to get out of the car.

Zhu Heng only saw the text message after she got out of the car and replied, "Okay, our people will be there soon. If you've already arrived, try to stall the murderer. We must take him down this time."

After reading the text message, the driver frowned and glanced out the window a few more times. Watching Bai Mengfei's receding figure, he began to doubt her true identity.

However, he only thought about it for a second or two, and then he stopped thinking about it.

After arriving near the wooden house, Bai Mengfei slowed down and habitually observed the surrounding environment first.

After all, the murderer may have arrived here in advance, or even set up an ambush, so she had to be extra careful.

After confirming there was no ambush, she raised her right hand and gently pushed open the wooden door, which was still covered in spikes.

With a creak, the wooden door slowly opened.

This was her second time entering this place, and this time, she didn't smell any smoke inside. Instead, she felt that the humidity here was even higher than a few days ago.

She habitually glanced around the room, then walked to the stool in front of the table and decided to sit there and wait.

Meanwhile, the criminals were driving a van, bringing Xiaoyun with them, towards this location.

On the way, when he saw a taxi preparing to leave, a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

Because he realized that this car was there to bring Bai Mengfei here.

After all, the only place this road leads to is the crime scene and that wooden house.

So he quickly turned the steering wheel and deliberately parked the car in the middle of the road, blocking the way.

He naturally flagged down the taxi. The driver honked the horn several times, but seeing that the van showed no sign of moving, he stuck his head out of the window and shouted, "Is the car broken? Don't stop here, back up!"

The killer remained silent, instead putting on gloves and a mask in the car.

After putting on his mask, he casually picked up the wrench that was next to his feet, hid it behind his back, and got out of the car.

He walked toward the taxi driver. Although the driver sensed something was wrong, he was too frightened to move because of the close proximity and was completely stunned.
