Chapter 286 Anger
Chapter 286 Anger
As soon as he opened his mouth, Bai Mengfei noticed the long-accumulated tobacco stains on his teeth!
Bai Mengfei could vaguely smell a cigarette on him, so she brought her face closer and took a deep sniff.
It turned out that this seasoned veteran really did smell of smoke!
Under everyone's gaze, Bai Mengfei directly questioned, "What's with the smell of smoke on you?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, the old fox's face instantly darkened, replaced by one of utter fear. He blinked furtively, as if afraid of being seen, his eyes darting around, avoiding eye contact.
"Do you know that you're the one who destroyed the clues and evidence?" Bai Mengfei continued to ask.
The seasoned veteran suddenly felt his face burning, then turned around and silently walked away.
The police officers all sighed at him, never expecting him to do something so foolish.
Bai Mengfei snorted coldly, then turned around angrily, hands on her hips.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei was quite angry, Xiang Yuntian quickly came over and comforted her, "Alright, don't be angry."
"Alright, let's continue investigating the case!" Bai Mengfei raised her left hand, gently scratched her eyebrow, then turned her head, thinking that she should continue to devote herself to the investigation.
She really wanted to know: how do these police officers usually do their jobs?
However, she didn't ask the question aloud. She just silently endured it and quickly regained her composure, continuing to investigate the case.
Just as she was about to go upstairs to check, another policeman came over and said, "There won't be any clues upstairs."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei was almost furious. Her face instantly turned angry, and she really wanted to see how these police officers handled things.
Just as she was getting angry, Xiang Yuntian saw through her emotions at a glance, quickly stepped forward, and said to the policeman, "Alright, we know what's going on, please step aside!"
Hearing Xiang Yuntian say this, the police officer stepped aside, and the two of them went upstairs together.
The room was very clean, after all, it was Attorney Han's residence.
After Bai Mengfei arrived upstairs, she stopped and carefully scanned the area with her eyes.
Her gaze swept coldly across the corridor, room doors, and ceiling, taking in every detail.
Xiang Yuntian stood beside her, quietly keeping her company and observing as well, though his observations were not as meticulous as hers.
"Have you noticed anything?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head and said, "We can go to his master bedroom to check." After saying that, Bai Mengfei walked towards a room.
How did she know which room was Han Jie's master bedroom?
It wasn't because the room looked bigger, but because the doorway was relatively clean. Since people often walked on it, it meant that someone lived there, so the doorway appeared clean.
After leading Xiang Yuntian to the room, she habitually first took a look at the overall layout of the room.
Seeing something suspicious about the cabinet, she immediately went over, then slowly squatted down, took out a UV pen, and carefully inspected the drawers and cabinet.
Xiang Yuntian then went to check the other side of the room, looking very carefully at places like the windowsill. But in the end, he didn't find any suspicious clues.
"Did you find anything?" Bai Mengfei asked coldly.
Xiang Yuntian shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No, there are no obvious signs that the window has been pried open."
"Hmm." Bai Mengfei responded in a low voice, then carefully examined the clues in the room. "I didn't find any clues here either, but this drawer must have been opened."
"How did you figure that out?" Xiang Yuntian immediately turned his head, then walked over directly.
Bai Mengfei glanced back at the clothes casually scattered on the bed, then turned to look at the closet. At this moment, Xiang Yuntian also walked over, only to find that the items in the closet, such as documents, were all neatly arranged and did not look like they had been rummaged through.
Xiang Yuntian then said, "It doesn't seem like it! Why do you think so?"
"Think about it from a different perspective." Bai Mengfei turned her head, looked up at him and said, "If you were Han Jie, who is usually too lazy to even tidy up his clothes, but now has his closet neatly organized, is that possible?"
Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Xiang Yuntian suddenly felt that it made sense. Given Han Jie's personality, it was indeed unlikely that he would bother to deal with these things.
Xiang Yuntian nodded secretly, acknowledging Bai Mengfei's deduction. After taking a deep breath, Bai Mengfei said, "We can't judge things by appearances alone. I'll explain this to you in detail when we get back to the police station."
Xiang Yuntian immediately hummed in agreement.
Bai Mengfei observed for a while longer, then said, "The murderer may not have been looking for these things at all."
"So what do you think the killer was looking for?"
"Heh, it must be that will, but he's too stupid. How could he put a will in a place like this?" With that, Bai Mengfei stood up and walked out of the room.
She was planning to go to the study and find the safe, because if the will hadn't been lost, it must be in the safe.
Before she even reached the study, she saw a fire extinguisher in a corner of the corridor.
She suddenly stopped and squatted down.
"It's just an ordinary fire extinguisher, what's so interesting about it?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei raised her right hand, signaling Xiang Yuntian to be quiet, and then picked up the fire extinguisher with her gloved hands. It was noticeable that some of the paint on it was already chipped.
"How could this be?" Xiang Yuntian asked in surprise.
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and then said, "It must have been used to hit Han Jie, which is why I said Han Jie's body needs to be taken back for a comprehensive and thorough examination."
"Well, that makes sense."
After putting down the fire extinguisher, Bai Mengfei got up again and walked towards the study.
Upon entering the study, she immediately noticed the large safe placed in front of her. She quickened her pace, walked to the safe, slowly squatted down, and gently stroked the surface of the safe with her hand.
There was a handle on the outside of the safe that could be opened. She tried it and opened the safe easily, only to find it empty.
"Such a big safe, and everything inside is gone," Xiang Yuntian exclaimed.
Bai Mengfei calmly said, "It seems the things inside have already been stolen, most likely by the murderer. This doesn't deviate too much from what we already know." As she spoke, Bai Mengfei closed the safe.
