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

Chapter 188 Watch

Bai Mengfei stepped outside, her pace quickening unconsciously.

As she walked, a strong urge to cry welled up inside her. She couldn't hold back any longer, so she raised her hand to wipe her eyes, and when she reached the roadside, tears streamed down her face.

After crying for a while, Bai Mengfei suddenly smiled slightly.

This sudden change startled even herself.

At this moment, she stood alone by the roadside, her laughter and tears revealing her helplessness. There was no one around, only trees swaying incessantly in the wind.

What is she laughing at?

Weren't you just heartbroken?

Actually, she smiled because she thought that it was better to have a short pain than a long one. If she really left one day, perhaps Xiang Yuntian wouldn't be too sad.

Thinking of this, she felt a strange sense of relief welling up inside her.

Just as she was about to return to the police station, a woman suddenly appeared in her line of sight, wearing a very familiar watch on her wrist.

She tried hard to recall, and then it came to her in an instant.

This Patek Philippe watch was worn by the deceased woman during her lifetime.

She frowned, quickly stepped forward, stopped the woman, and asked, "Excuse me, may I take a look at your watch?"

The woman immediately covered her arm and refused, saying, "This is a Patek Philippe. If you scratch it, can you afford to pay for it?"

“Name your price, and I’ll buy it,” Bai Mengfei said deliberately.

The woman looked Bai Mengfei up and down, her eyes full of doubt, as if she didn't believe she could afford it at all.

Bai Mengfei quickly explained, "My family is well-off, believe me."

"So how much are you going to pay?"

Bai Mengfei answered without hesitation, "Five hundred thousand, will you sell?"

The woman's eyes lit up immediately, and she said, "Sell! Do you have that much money on you?"

“Do you think I’d be carrying that much cash? I’ll call my family to bring it over, or you can come home with me to get it,” Bai Mengfei said.

The woman looked around and, seeing that there were many people on this stretch of road, said, "No, I'm not going home with you. Have your family bring the money here, and we'll make the deal in person."

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then nodded affirmatively and replied, "Okay!"

Then she called Zhao Fei and asked him to send 500,000 yuan over.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei immediately understood that she was either in trouble or it was related to the case, so he quickly dispatched a criminal investigation team.

When the police arrived, they immediately took the woman into custody.

Bai Mengfei then revealed her identity: "You didn't expect that, did you? I'm a forensic doctor. This watch on your wrist might be related to a murder case, so we need you to come back to the police station with us to assist with the investigation."

At the police station, the woman initially insisted that she had bought the watch. However, under persistent questioning from the police, she couldn't produce a purchase receipt and finally admitted, "Okay, I actually found the watch. But you can't arrest me for something that fell from the sky, can you?"

"Where did you find it? Were there any eyewitnesses?" Zhao Fei asked.

Unexpectedly, the woman actually gave a witness, who was her colleague. The two of them found it together, and she even gave her colleague 10,000 yuan.

Moreover, the process of picking up the watch was also recorded by surveillance cameras at the scene.

Unfortunately, the surveillance cameras didn't capture who left the watch there.

"That's strange, who could have left the watch here?" Bai Mengfei crossed her arms, her face full of doubt.

At this moment, Zhao Fei suddenly turned hostile and said, "Didn't I tell you not to interfere in this case? Why won't you listen?"

Bai Mengfei was speechless for a moment, silently lowered her head, and showed a trace of shame on her face.

Just then, Xiang Yuntian walked over and said, "I asked her for help."

Hearing Xiang Yuntian say this, Zhao Fei's attitude softened, and he said, "Alright, but this case has been going on for quite a few days, and we still haven't found a single clue. The higher-ups keep urging us, so I don't care who you cooperate with or who you don't want to cooperate with, just find the real culprit for me as soon as possible."

"Yes, I will," Xiang Yuntian replied tactfully.

After Zhao Fei left, Xiang Yuntian spoke with Bai Mengfei and asked, "Why are you so persistent about this case and determined to get to the bottom of it?"

"I just want to prove that my judgment is correct, and I must also find the real murderer. I cannot let good people be wronged while bad people go unpunished."

Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Xiang Yuntian felt it made a lot of sense and wholeheartedly supported her idea.

He nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Alright, since you insist, I will definitely help you. From now on, I will allow you to investigate this case with me, but you must not show favoritism."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei retorted somewhat agitatedly, "What do you mean I'm showing favoritism? What favoritism did I show?"

“I’m afraid you’ll favor that Lü You,” Xiang Yuntian said.

Bai Mengfei gave a helpless bitter smile and said, "Don't worry, absolutely not. If I were to side with him, you could definitely find evidence to overturn the physical evidence I provided, couldn't you?"

“That’s true, okay, it’s settled then. Anyway, if he really is the murderer, I will definitely not let him go,” Xiang Yuntian said firmly.

After the two reached an agreement, when it was time to leave work in the afternoon, Lü You came to pick up Bai Mengfei again.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but become suspicious of Lü You's behavior and asked, "Why do you come to pick me up from get off work every day?"

Lu You was silent for a moment, then turned to look out the car window and said, "Because the person who died was my girlfriend. Actually, I also want to know who killed her, and I want to see the murderer punished according to the law."

Hearing his explanation, Bai Mengfei felt it made some sense and nodded slightly.

After a moment of silence, Bai Mengfei said again, "Actually, I think you don't need to worry too much. After all, I don't think your girlfriend is worth it."

"Why do you say that?" Lü You asked, somewhat agitated.

Bai Mengfei candidly recounted what she had witnessed that day, saying, "She treated you like that, so why are you still so persistent?"

“But she will always be my girlfriend,” Lü You said.

The two returned to their lodgings and saw Xiaoman waiting outside. They hadn't eaten out that night because Lü You had invited Xiaoman over, and they planned to eat together at home.

At this moment, Xiaoman was still carrying groceries she had bought from the supermarket.

Upon seeing Lü You, Xiao Man smiled happily and said, "Boss, you're back."

"Hmm." Lü You's attitude seemed somewhat indifferent... "Have you been waiting long? What's the situation at the company? Are the board members still having meetings?"
