Chapter 340 Assistance
"What happened?" Bai Mengfei asked.
The man yelled at Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, "Get out of the way! This has nothing to do with you!"
Then he turned to the landlord and said, "Give me back the jade pendant; it was left to me by my father!"
This jade pendant may be a precious relic left by his father, so it seems that the landlord's actions were a bit excessive.
Seeing this, Bai Mengfei couldn't stand it any longer. She quickly stepped forward, reached out and stopped the landlord, asking, "Is what you're doing really appropriate?"
The landlord immediately turned around and said to her, "This has nothing to do with you. He owes me money!"
“I do owe you rent, but you can’t steal my jade pendant!” the man argued.
Xiang Yuntian couldn't stand it any longer. He was never short of money and immediately stepped forward to ask the landlord, "How much rent does he owe you?"
The landlord thought for a moment and said, "About five or six thousand yuan!"
"Five or six thousand? Where would you get that much!" The man was shocked, but Xiang Yuntian transferred the money to the landlord without hesitation and told him to leave.
After the landlord left, Xiang Yuntian and the others asked the man, "Are you named Zhen Liang?"
The man paused for a moment, then nodded gently and said, "Yes, my name is indeed Zhen Liang. How did you know my name?"
Xiang Yuntian immediately turned to look at Bai Mengfei.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei wanted to confirm Zhen Liang's identity, so she asked, "Do you know a girl named Ming Jing?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Zhen Liang unconsciously swallowed and frowned slightly.
Judging from the expression in his eyes alone, Bai Mengfei could tell that Zhen Liang most likely knew Ming Jing.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhen Liang nodded slightly and said, "I know her. She was my ex-girlfriend, but I heard that she met with some misfortune recently." As he finished speaking, a look of grief naturally appeared on his face.
Then he turned around and asked, "So who are you people? Are you here to watch the show or are you reporters?"
"No, we are the ones who can get justice for your ex-girlfriend!" Bai Mengfei said, "because we are forensic doctors!"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Zhen Liang stopped in his tracks, turned around in astonishment, and asked, "Really?"
Bai Mengfei nodded firmly and said, "Absolutely true."
Zhen Liang's eyes lit up with hope. He couldn't hide his joy and said, "That's wonderful! I've finally waited for you. I hope you can help me."
After saying that, Zhen Liang walked directly to the two of them, so excited that he was almost incoherent. "I hope you can help my girlfriend and me. Actually, I'm living here because I hope to find the murderer for my girlfriend."
Then, perhaps feeling it was inconvenient to talk there and worried about being overheard, he quickly went over and closed the door.
With Xiang Yuntian by her side, Bai Mengfei wasn't afraid of Zhen Liang. Only after he closed the door and returned did Bai Mengfei ask, "Did you love her? If you did, why did you break up with her before she died?"
“This…” Zhen Liang frowned and lowered his head. “Actually, it’s because my parents didn’t approve of me being with her. I was also feeling very tired at the time, so I broke up with her.”
In an instant, Bai Mengfei felt that Zhen Liang in front of her was somewhat suspicious.
But Zhen Liang didn't notice and asked the two of them to sit down and talk slowly.
After the two sat down, Zhen Liang began to tell the love story between him and Ming Jing.
It's actually just a story about an ordinary couple, but it's somewhat like a modern-day Romeo and Juliet. Zhenliang's parents are prejudiced against Mingjing because she has a blind older sister.
After hearing Zhen Liang's story, Bai Mengfei should have encouraged or comforted him, but she did not, and instead appeared unusually calm.
Because at that moment, she had only one thought in her mind: to find the murderer and seek justice for Mingjing.
As for anything else, she didn't want to hear it.
After listening to Zhen Liang's story, Xiang Yuntian thought to himself.
Fortunately, his parents weren't like that, otherwise he would definitely have made the decision to elope with Bai Mengfei.
After Zhen Liang finished speaking, Bai Mengfei coldly asked, "But you haven't said what your opinion is on Ming Jing's death, or what you know about what happened, right?"
“Yes, that’s right.” Zhen Liang nodded and said in a low voice, “I haven’t told you about it yet. If you’re interested, I’ll tell you. Actually, I found out about this when I was in school. At first, I pretended that nothing was wrong, but later I couldn’t lie to myself anymore, so I came here hoping to urge the police to find the murderer.”
"Have you tried to find the murderer yourself?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Zhen Liang nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes! I went to the crime scene and found a wooden hut there that was very suspicious. There was a chain inside, like it was used to lock the hut, so I suspect that the murderer might have locked Xiao Jing inside beforehand?"
“Hmm, that’s possible.” Bai Mengfei nodded secretly, her brows furrowing slightly as she fell into deep thought. “However, that possibility doesn’t seem very high. I don’t know what to say for the moment.”
After sighing, Zhen Liang continued, "I told the police about this later, but they wouldn't listen at all; they clearly didn't believe me!"
Zhen Liang sounded somewhat angry as he said this. Bai Mengfei could understand his feelings, because she would have been angry too if she were in his shoes.
Just as Bai Mengfei was pondering, Zhen Liang asked again, "Then do you believe me?"
Bai Mengfei looked up at him, but instead of answering directly, she asked, "If you are innocent, would you be willing to investigate this case with us?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Zhen Liang's eyes lit up, and a smile immediately appeared on his lips. "Of course I'm willing!"
Bai Mengfei nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, since you're willing, things will be much easier!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Xiang Yuntian sitting next to her.
Xiang Yuntian had no objections and nodded silently.
“Alright, we’ll come back to see you tomorrow.” After making her decision, Bai Mengfei stood up and said, “To be honest, it’s getting late, so we’ll take our leave now.”
