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

Chapter 526 Inspection

Xiang Yuntian was filled with the thought of protecting Bai Mengfei. After the road was clear, he silently drove his car and carefully followed behind the vehicle Bai Mengfei was in.

Following Bai Mengfei to the building, Xiang Yuntian quickly parked his car and hurried after her.

Before he could even speak to Bai Mengfei, he instinctively grabbed her arm, a sudden action that startled Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei quickly turned around and asked in surprise, "What are you doing?"

Xiang Yuntian then realized his lapse in composure and quickly let go of her hand, explaining, "It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you not to go into this building."

"Why?" Bai Mengfei asked, her face full of confusion.

Xiang Yuntian said seriously, "Because I've always heard that this building is very eerie, I don't want you to risk going in."

“But a murder has occurred inside, and Zhang Jie and the others have already been taken in. Look, the outer cordon has been set up, and I have a duty to investigate.”

"Do you know the background of this building?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.

Bai Mengfei forcefully broke free from his hand and said resolutely, "Since someone died inside, it is my responsibility to get to the bottom of this."

After saying that, Bai Mengfei resolutely stepped onto the wide steps, ripped off the warning tape, and entered the building.

Xiang Yuntian stared helplessly at her retreating figure. After a few seconds of stunned silence, he couldn't shake off his worries and resolutely followed her inside.

After the two entered the building together, Bai Mengfei quickly found the second floor with her keen intuition, because she knew that the deceased was there.

Upon reaching the second floor, Bai Mengfei's first sight was of several police officers, followed by the scene of a busy investigation.

At this moment, Zhang Jie was already investigating the case and found the deceased's death to be very strange. After carefully examining the body, Zhang Jie turned to Bai Mengfei and said, "Master, the deceased's skin condition is very strange. I feel he died of poisoning."

"Have you found out who this person is?" Bai Mengfei asked as she walked over quickly.

Zhang glanced at the police officer beside him and said, "This man is called Zhao Chun. He's from out of town and came here to work. He's responsible for guarding this building."

"Hmm." Bai Mengfei responded softly, slowly squatting down. Through careful observation of the corpse's various reactions, she determined that the deceased had died the day before. The reason the body had not yet shown signs of decomposition was because the temperature was low and the humidity was high here.

"He died a day ago?" Zhang Jie said in surprise. "I thought he died about six hours ago."

“You need to accumulate more experience, otherwise you can easily be misled by some superficial phenomena.” As Bai Mengfei spoke, she gently took the deceased’s hand and examined it carefully.

She examined the deceased's hands because they looked very strange, as if they had been tampered with. Normally, after death, a person's hands are held vertically at their sides with fists half-clenched, but this deceased's hands were placed in front of his chest, crossed, suggesting that he may have frozen to death.

However, it is not.

The lividity on the deceased's skin was pink, which is clearly a characteristic of death by poisoning.

To further investigate and determine the true cause of death, Bai Mengfei said to Zhang Jie, "Take the body back; I want to give him a detailed examination."

“Okay,” Zhang Jie immediately agreed.

Subsequently, with Xiang Yuntian's assistance, Bai Mengfei carefully carried the body downstairs and placed it in the car.

After returning the body to the autopsy room, Bai Mengfei immediately drew blood for testing. She knew that if it was poisoning, the blood would show a corresponding reaction.

However, after careful examination, Bai Mengfei was surprised to find that the deceased had not been poisoned.

Even Xiang Yuntian, who accompanied him, found it hard to believe, saying, "It's impossible that he wasn't poisoned. His lividity clearly shows that he was poisoned."

“Surface appearances are often unreliable.” After saying that, Bai Mengfei picked up the equipment again and gently tapped the livor mortis, wanting to see if something like beech sap had been applied to it.

But the facts quickly refuted Bai Mengfei's conjecture, and she couldn't help but murmur, "How could this be?"

Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Zhao Fei suddenly pushed open the door to the dissection room and walked in.

Upon hearing the noise, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian quickly turned around.

Upon seeing Xiang Yuntian, Zhao Fei exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, what are you doing here? Didn't you resign?"

"I'm here to help," Xiang Yuntian said with a slightly shy smile. "Excuse me, Captain Zhao."

"It's nothing, it's good that you came to help. Anyway, I didn't know you had this kind intention." Zhao Fei said as he stepped forward. "How's it going? How's the autopsy going? Have you found anything?"

Bai Mengfei shook her head helplessly and said, "On the surface, it looks like he died of poisoning, but in reality, no signs of poisoning have been found."

"There's such a strange thing?" Zhao Fei said in surprise.

After saying that, he turned to look at Xiang Yuntian and asked in confusion, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, what do you think of this matter?"

Xiang Yuntian shrugged helplessly, sighed, and said, "The cause of death is still unclear. Based on the body's reaction and the test results, there are several possible causes of death."

"How so? What are the specific types?" Zhao Fei pressed.

Xiang Yuntian explained, "Judging from the way his hands were positioned, it seems like he froze to death; judging from the color of the lividity, it seems like he was poisoned. But judging from his expression, it seems like he died from some kind of shock. So the situation is very complicated."

"Then what should we do?" Zhao Fei asked.

"We can only conduct a more in-depth investigation and look for more clues," Xiang Yuntian said.

Later, as she left the prison, Wang Tian turned to Bai Mengfei and asked, "Forensic Doctor Bai, do you really think Wang Xun is innocent?"

"Probably. Anyway, we can't believe him just based on his word. We only believe physical evidence, not one-sided testimonies," Bai Mengfei said firmly.

“Yes!” Wang Tian agreed. Then, she thought of another idea and asked, “Should we visit the home of Cai He, the female victim from back then? Maybe we can learn some details about the case from there.”

“Sure, if you want to go, I’ll go with you,” Bai Mengfei said nonchalantly.

So the two of them went to Cai He's house together. They discovered that Cai He's family was not well-off, and their current situation was quite bad.

Although Cai He has a younger brother, her father suffered a stroke after what happened to her. Currently, the family relies on her mother's odd jobs to make ends meet.

Upon hearing the two mention Cai He, her mother burst into tears.

Whenever Wang Xun is mentioned, she always refers to him as a "beast".

Bai Mengfei had no choice but to state her purpose: "Actually, we came here this time because we believe that Wang Xun might be innocent back then. As for what the hidden story is, we don't know yet. So we came to ask you about the relationship between Yuhe and Wang Xun before her death."
