Chapter 514 Going Home
Chapter 514 Going Home
As evening approached and his colleague was getting ready to go home, he called out to him, "I'm leaving soon. I'm almost finished reading this last book."
Seeing Zhang's diligent efforts, Zhao Fei smiled with satisfaction. After all, in the police station, veteran officers wouldn't do something like this—even Zhao Fei himself had never had such a learning experience.
After acquiring a wealth of forensic knowledge, Zhang Jie did not return immediately but went to the morgue alone.
He carefully examined the murder weapon and other items, while recalling the corpse he had seen earlier.
With his eyes closed, he used his knowledge to deduce the cause and time of the victim's death. After some thought, he concluded that the victim had likely died a day earlier.
Based on his previous understanding of the case, he quickly deduced that this victim was likely a target the killer had quickly identified and attacked after murdering the previous victim. In other words, the killer was committing crimes more and more frequently.
Opening his eyes, he saw the various clues gathered at the scene, and his gaze locked onto the blood-stained cross. His intuition told him that this cross was very likely left intentionally by the murderer.
So he carefully picked up the cross to examine it, and boldly dripped silver nitrate solution onto it.
The result was surprising; a half fingerprint appeared on the cross.
This half of the fingerprint is highly suspicious, but with existing technology, it may be possible to piece together the other half.
This was a crucial clue, so Zhang didn't dare delay and quickly called Zhao Fei to report the situation in detail.
Upon learning this, Zhao Fei was also very surprised. He immediately returned to the police station and organized everyone to compare the fingerprints to see if there were any fingerprints of habitual offenders in the previous files that matched this fingerprint.
After careful comparison, it was discovered that a fugitive from three years ago had fingerprints that perfectly matched this partial fingerprint. This fugitive has still not been apprehended.
Zhao Fei then released the prisoner's information and issued a reward notice.
Police at all levels worked together and located the suspect that very night, finding him eating noodles at a noodle shop near the university town. The police then quickly launched a manhunt.
Ultimately, the arrest operation went very smoothly, and the suspect confessed to committing all the crimes.
Zhao Fei, along with Zhang Jie, who had made the greatest contribution, interrogated the prisoner that very night: "Why did you do this? What grudge do you have against those college students?"
"I'm atoning for them!" the prisoner sneered. "They're possessed by evil spirits, and at such a young age, they're not learning good things. They're dating and smoking. I'm saving them!"
Upon hearing the prisoner's words, Zhao Fei couldn't help but turn his head and look at the chapter.
Chapter nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "It seems he has serious mental problems."
"Ah."
The case has finally been solved, and the chapter can finally go home.
Upon returning home, Zhang Jie couldn't wait to share the good news with Bai Mengfei.
After listening, Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "You're really amazing! You're practically a crime-solving genius! Actually, even if I didn't teach you, you'd still be excellent!"
"No, it was just good luck this time! It's just that the murderer happened to be a repeat offender with a criminal record at the police station, so we found him so easily by following his fingerprints. Besides, everyone worked very hard. If it were just me alone, it would have been impossible to solve the case."
Seeing Zhang's humble attitude, Bai Mengfei smiled knowingly.
Seeing the weariness in Bai Mengfei's smile, Zhang Qu thoughtfully tidied her pillow and asked with concern, "Should I call a doctor to take a look at you?"
Standing to the side, Xia Yun immediately said, "Of course we should call a doctor! She's been feeling unwell all day; we can't let her go without one."
"Okay, I'll go get the doctor now." With that, Zhang Jie turned to leave.
Bai Mengfei, worried that her mysterious background would be discovered, hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Don't go!"
"Why?" Zhang asked in surprise.
Bai Mengfei simply said, "Anyway, we don't need to call a doctor."
Seeing Bai Mengfei's insistence, Zhang Jie had no choice but to sit down slowly and say, "Alright then, we'll stay here with you tonight."
That night, Zhang Jie and Xia Yun stayed by Bai Mengfei's side.
However, Bai Mengfei still couldn't sleep well, and kept having some inexplicable nightmares.
In these dreams, she dreamed of Xiang Yuntian many times.
While she was asleep, Xiang Yuntian actually called her. Zhang Jie, for some selfish reasons, quietly hung up the phone and told Xia Yun, "Don't make a sound, don't wake her."
The next day, Bai Mengfei woke up before she even checked her phone, so she was unaware that Xiang Yuntian had called. Feeling that she had regained much of her strength, she said to Zhang Jie, "I think I'm fine now, I can go back to the police station."
Zhang nodded secretly and drove her back to the police station.
As soon as the two arrived at the police station, Zhao Fei held an awards ceremony, highlighting Zhang Qu, who had been an outstanding dark horse.
Chapter worried that with great power comes great responsibility, and humbly stated that there was still much to learn, promising to continue to learn diligently by Bai Mengfei's side.
After the commendation meeting, Zhao Fei called Zhang Jie and Bai Mengfei to his office and privately praised Zhang Jie again.
Because his superiors praised Zhao Fei for his effective leadership, Zhao Fei spared no effort in praising Zhang Jie.
Feeling a little embarrassed by the praise, Zhang turned to look at Bai Mengfei with a shy expression.
After praising them, Zhao Fei assigned them another case, saying, "With your combined strengths, you should be able to solve this case quickly."
"Why are there so many cases?" Zhang asked, puzzled.
After receiving the file, he learned that it was a rather notorious murder case that had occurred several years ago in their villa district. The victim was a well-known wealthy businessman named Xia Dongchi, who was said to be a distant relative of Xia Yun.
"Captain Zhao, this case happened so long ago, why are we still investigating it now?" Zhang asked.
Zhao Fei smiled and said, "Since the case exists, it has to be solved eventually. To put it bluntly, we can't let the murderer get away with it forever."
"Okay, so we need to reinvestigate now."
"Yes! However, by now, there are very few clues left in the case, which may make the investigation quite difficult. But I believe that if the two of you work together, you will definitely be able to solve this case. By the way, this case was handled by the famous forensic doctor Bai Mengfei, who was also Xiang's mentor!"
Hearing Zhao Fei say this, Zhang Jie suddenly became interested and exclaimed "Wow!" He turned to Bai Mengfei and said, "Master, this case was handled by your senior! She was also the forensic doctor Xiang's mentor! Aren't you excited?"
"I'm not excited," Bai Mengfei said calmly.
At this moment, she was already silently recalling the case and the body of the deceased in the photo in her mind.
She felt she needed to go home because in her past life, she always left some notes after performing autopsies, and perhaps she could find new clues from them.
