Chapter 137 - 137 Connection

137 Connection

What the nurse said put Feng Jing and Yin Tao in a difficult position. If they had evidence to apply for a warrant from their superiors, they wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.

“Brother Feng, why don’t we call it a day?” Yin Tao was worried that they would bump into Meng Heng if they didn’t leave now. Without an investigation warrant, it wouldn’t be worth it to expose her identity in front of Meng Heng.

Although Feng Jing felt a little regretful, he still had to follow the procedures and could only leave the Third Central Hospital with Yin Tao.

When they returned to the car, Yin Tao asked Feng Jing in disappointment, “Brother Feng, do you think Meng Heng is more suspicious now?”

Feng Jing nodded and agreed with Yin Tao. “He knew the two victims, Li Ting and Song Yi. Furthermore, he is a plastic surgeon. He is a prime suspect.”

“Then can you just apply for a warrant on Meng Heng?” Although Yin Tao felt that Meng Heng didn’t look like the murderer, she still hoped he could be restrained. After all, Yin Tao really didn’t want to see the next victim.

The victims of this case were all beautiful young women. Furthermore, their faces had been destroyed when they were alive. Yin Tao felt sad just by looking at them.

“I can apply for it, but…” Feng Jing sighed and said to Yin Tao, “As long as there is no substantial evidence and it is just suspicion, I have no right to restrict Meng Heng’s personal freedom. I can only go to the places he frequents to search for evidence. However, I think that with Meng Heng’s character and intelligence, he wouldn’t have left any obvious clues.”

“Furthermore, if Meng Heng is really the murderer, I’m afraid that he’ll become even more vigilant. It’ll be even more difficult to find his flaws.” Yin Tao also felt that although Meng Heng looked kind, he clearly had a high IQ. If the murderer was really him, an early investigation would only cause this case to fall into a deadlock again.

Feng Jing’s phone rang in the car. “Hello, Ji Yu.”

Hearing Ji Yu’s name, Yin Tao knew that this call should be related to the case. She kept quiet and carefully observed Feng Jing’s reaction.

“Captain Feng, there’s a new discovery.”

Ji Yu’s excited voice came from the cell phone. “Today, I went to the victim’s house with Bai Luo and the others to understand the situation with my friends. After asking, I found out that Song Yi’s high school classmate was Xue Na, and Xue Na’s husband, Meng Heng, was the plastic surgeon you and Sister Xiaoyin suspected. He was also the victim’s first love.”

There was silence in the car, and Yin Tao could clearly hear everything Ji Yu said.

“Meng Heng is indeed very suspicious. Keep an eye on his tracks discreetly and report any findings immediately.” Feng Jing’s tone was very serious. Ji Yu hung up after receiving the instructions.

“He had contact with the first victim, Li Ting, in the hospital. The second victim, Song Yi, was his wife’s classmate. As for the third victim, Yang Ying, they used to be lovers…” Yin Tao analyzed in a soft voice, feeling that Meng Heng was the murderer of this case.

“These connections alone are not enough to convict Meng Heng. Physical evidence, documentary evidence, and witness testimonies are required in order to request a warrant of arrest from the prosecutor’s office.”

Feng Jing had a headache. This case was indeed a little tricky. All three victims had been killed and there was no witness at the scene. Moreover, no conclusive evidence was found at the crime scene. Although they had a target suspect, they still needed to collect more evidence before they could bring Meng Heng to justice.

“So we can only investigate Meng Heng discreetly?” Yin Tao still felt that they should restrain Meng Heng as soon as possible to prevent other people from falling victim.

“That’s all we can do for now. Before we find strong evidence, we should try not to alert the enemy. After all, Meng Heng is a highly intelligent criminal. It’s not good for us to fight him head-on.”

Feng Jing’s intuition told him that Meng Heng would not give himself away so easily. If he wanted to find evidence, he would have to put in more effort.

“Let’s go back first. You must be tired after working with me all day, right?” Feng Jing started the car slowly and drove back to the police station.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Brother Feng, I’m not tired. It’s fine as long as you don’t mind me causing trouble.” Yin Tao was still very grateful that Feng Jing was willing to let her participate in the investigation.

Although Yin Tao was only a forensic doctor, she was still very responsible for the progress of her case and she wanted to do her part.

“I’ve never found you troublesome…” Feng Jing’s tone suddenly became serious. Yin Tao didn’t know what to say.

Even after she was sent back to the dormitory at the police station, Yin Tao was still in a state of contemplation. She didn’t know when her relationship with Feng Jing had become a little strange.
