Chapter 454 Another one dies
Because she brought professional testing tools, Bai Mengfei immediately conducted a detailed examination of Li Yin's body.
The test results showed that Li Yin was murdered just a few days earlier, on the very day she went missing.
At this point, the corpse had already shown signs of post-mortem changes.
After completing the examination of the body, Zhao Fei began a comprehensive search of the island. Soon, he discovered Lao Yu's body. Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, witnessing this, understood: Lao Yu had been murdered because of them.
Unable to contain her emotions, Bai Mengfei immediately knelt before Lao Yu's head, closed her eyes, and forced herself not to let her tears spill out.
The lives of Lao Yu and his wife were truly filled with injustice.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault!" Bai Mengfei said with deep remorse.
Seeing this, Zhao Fei immediately stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Don't be too sad. Even if he hadn't died, given the previous circumstances, he might now be considered a murderer and go to jail."
"No! He didn't kill anyone!" Bai Mengfei hurriedly defended Lao Yu.
As they prepared to leave, they took the dismembered bodies back to the police station.
On the way back, Zhao Fei asked, "Can you confirm that the murderer committed this crime? Didn't that murderer only kill women before?"
After pondering for a moment, Xiang Yuntian said, "It seems he's different from before; now he's even going after men. Perhaps our investigation has driven him to desperation, so his killing spree on the island this time is likely aimed at the two of us."
After hearing this, Zhao Fei nodded secretly, indicating his understanding.
Xiang Yuntian pondered for a while, then frowned and said to Bai Mengfei, "You seemed to have said before that you had a way to find the murderer, is that true?"
Bai Mengfei nodded confidently and said with certainty, "It's true."
Xiang Yuntian considered for a moment, then asked, "So what should we do now?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Mengfei said, "Let's go to the travel agency."
So, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian went to the travel agency together.
Upon entering, Bai Mengfei immediately questioned the person in charge: "Why did you try to harm us?"
When Han Xue saw Bai Mengfei arrive, she walked over as well. Hearing that Bai Mengfei had come to confront her, Han Xue chimed in, "That's right! Manager, why did we almost lose our lives after we went there? Who ordered you to do that?"
The manager was tight-lipped and wouldn't say anything no matter how much you asked.
It's fine if he doesn't say anything. Bai Mengfei took out her phone and said seriously, "If you don't want to say anything, then I'll just call the police."
Seeing that Bai Mengfei was serious, the manager hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Don't be silly, Miss. Actually, I don't know who ordered it. That day, someone came inexplicably, asked about your itinerary, and even held a knife to my neck, forcing me to recommend this package to you. I had no choice but to agree, after all, saving my life was the priority."
"Do you still remember what that person looked like?" Bai Mengfei pressed.
The manager pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly and said, "I don't remember. He was wearing a ghost mask at the time. How about this, I'll refund your money and also compensate you for some emotional distress, okay?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Bai Mengfei let him go and said coldly, "No need."
Bai Mengfei firmly believed that the murderer would not give up easily and would likely come looking for her again.
So, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian returned to the police station.
As soon as they arrived at the police station, they saw Wang Tian walking hurriedly, seemingly about to leave.
Bai Mengfei stepped forward and asked, "Where are you in such a hurry to go?"
Wang Tian originally didn't want to tell Bai Mengfei, but seeing Xiang Yuntian was also there, she said, "I'm going out to take care of something. I just received a report that a dismembered female corpse was found in the west of the city, and the body is incomplete, missing its tongue."
"How could this happen?" Bai Mengfei muttered to herself.
Xiang Yuntian immediately said, "It must have been done by that murderer. Let's go take a look."
They followed the police car carrying Wang Tian to the crime scene and were surprised to find that the deceased was Miao Xiaoxiao.
Similarly, Miao Xiaoxiao is dead, and her body has been confirmed to have been dismembered.
Bai Mengfei and the others immediately understood what had happened and knew it was the work of the murderer. However, to avoid causing the public to make too many connections and panic about previous cases, they did not release any information to the public, only stating that the case was still under investigation.
Many people online are paying attention to this case because Miao Xiaoxiao is He Bin's girlfriend.
Everyone speculated that He Bin was murdered by his girlfriend Miao Xiaoxiao because of his infidelity, and that Miao Xiaoxiao's death was an act of revenge by He Bin's fans.
Everything seemed reasonable, but only Bai Mengfei knew the truth.
That afternoon, Bai Mengfei sat alone at her desk, gently resting her chin on a pencil, lost in deep thought. After a while, she decided to reveal the truth and clear the deceased's name.
Just as she got up to take action, she turned around and saw Xiang Yuntian hurrying towards her.
Seeing Xiang Yuntian leaving in such a hurry, she asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you walking so fast?"
Xiang Yuntian replied, "Team Leader Zhao needs to speak with you."
"What is it?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian lowered his head, pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "I found something on the female victim's body."
Bai Mengfei sensed that this might be the key to solving the case, and frowned as she asked, "What did you find?"
Xiang Yuntian said with certainty, "I detected triazolam in the woman's stomach. That means the murderer must have been someone she knew. She was drugged while eating."
"Probably? That's actually unlikely," Bai Mengfei said. "Even if you don't know her, you could still put something in her food, couldn't you?"
“No,” Xiang Yuntian denied. “According to Captain Zhao, after we returned, she was subjected to verbal attacks from He Bin’s fans and was so scared that she didn’t dare to go out at all, not even ordering takeout. For those few days, she didn’t leave the house except to go out to buy groceries. Moreover, street surveillance footage showed that a suspicious man went to her house that day. After that, we found her body in the west of the city.”
"So, that man is very likely the murderer, or even the serial killer?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian nodded affirmatively and said, "That's right. So Captain Zhao called you over to talk to you about this matter and to see if you can find the murderer as soon as possible and close this case with your intelligence."
