Chapter 507 Unconfirmed
"Okay!" Bai Mengfei readily agreed.
Afterwards, the three of them got into Xiang Yuntian's car and sped off toward the crime scene where the body had been found.
In the car, Wang Tian took out her phone and showed Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian some pictures. These pictures were taken by her when she inspected the scene and had been saved on her phone.
After reading it, Bai Mengfei felt a chill run down her spine. She felt that the murderer was extremely cruel, actually stuffing the deceased into the jar.
“If the crime was committed by someone close to the deceased, that person must have hated him to the core,” Bai Mengfei couldn’t help but comment.
Wang Tian nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Look at the other photos; there are quite a few clues, such as red string, rings, and watches scattered around. So I speculate that the deceased must have had an argument with the murderer before dying, which is why the murderer was in such a hurry to leave..."
She paused for a moment, then suddenly changed her words, saying, "Anyway, this case is really bizarre, almost supernatural."
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, then looked up at Xiang Yuntian, wanting to hear his opinion. She saw that Xiang Yuntian was focused on driving, but his face betrayed his fatigue and listlessness.
Bai Mengfei didn't disturb him, and thought to herself, "He had planned to quit being a forensic doctor before, could it be that those things have affected his mood?"
Just as Bai Mengfei was deep in thought, Wang Tian said, "There's another point: the murderer would write a number on the wall behind the victim. I think this is likely a way for the murderer to deliberately create a supernatural atmosphere, so those scattered things may also be intentionally used to distract our investigation."
Bai Mengfei was still thinking about Xiang Yuntian's condition, so she just nodded secretly and replied coldly, "Yes, that is indeed a possibility."
After responding, she couldn't help but look at Xiang Yuntian again.
Wang Tian noticed her gaze and knew that Xiang Yuntian had no affection for her, so she silently turned her face away, pretending not to see Bai Mengfei's eyes.
When the three arrived at the scene where the body was found, they had just entered the dilapidated place when they saw the number "two" written in blood on the wall.
Xiang Yuntian immediately stepped forward, preparing to collect the blood for testing.
Wang Tian curiously leaned closer and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Check if this blood is the murderer's. If it's not the victim's, then there's a 70-80% chance it was left by the murderer," Xiang Yuntian said solemnly.
Bai Mengfei put on gloves and began to carefully examine the scene. She especially went to the jar and carefully examined the deceased inside.
Based on the size and shape of the jar, she analyzed, "The victim's limbs were either crippled by the murderer, or the body was dismembered and stuffed into the jar." After saying this, she sighed heavily.
Having worked as a forensic pathologist for many years, she has seen many cruel murderers and corpses, but the corpse in front of her was different from the ones she had seen before.
The victim's face was filled with pain, suggesting that his limbs had been tortured by the killer before he died, ultimately succumbing to extreme agony.
"Let our colleagues carry the body out," Bai Mengfei decided decisively.
After a while, Wang Tian called her colleagues, intending to have them carry the body out.
However, none of these colleagues had ever seen such a horrific scene, and with only the victim's head exposed, they were at a loss as to where to begin.
Bai Mengfei suggested, "You can wear gloves and try to pour the body out. If that doesn't work, just do it the same way you did the previous victim."
Wang Tian replied, "The previous victim is still in the jar."
Bai Mengfei's face immediately darkened.
Seeing that she was unhappy, the crowd quickly found a body bag and tried to empty the body out.
The moment the body was dumped out, a strong stench filled the air. Along with the limbless corpse, some excrement and urine also flowed out.
Many criminal investigators vomited on the spot because they had never seen such a horrific and disgusting scene.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but raise their hands to cover their mouths and noses, because a large number of bacteria had already grown inside.
At the same time, Bai Mengfei pondered to herself, "Who could have such a deep hatred for the deceased, not only crippling his limbs but also stuffing him into such a jar?"
Xiang Yuntian winked at her, signaling her to go outside, and then said, "This murderer is probably a psychopath."
“I think so too,” Bai Mengfei replied. “But there’s another very important point: I think the murderer should be a man. A woman wouldn’t do something so cruel, would she?”
"We can't jump to conclusions so easily." Xiang Yuntian quickly immersed himself in the case analysis, showing that his professionalism had not diminished at all. "Many female murderers nowadays use equally cruel methods."
"But do you think a girl can beat a boy?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian quickly replied, "It's also possible that the assailant had tampered with the boy beforehand, such as by giving him a sedative. We'll know for sure once we get back and do some testing."
"It's a pity the body is in this state now... Alas!" Bai Mengfei sighed helplessly.
Xiang Yuntian quickly encouraged her, "Don't be discouraged! We've dealt with even the most difficult corpses before, so I believe we can handle this one too."
Hearing Xiang Yuntian's encouragement, Bai Mengfei rallied and nodded firmly.
After the body was removed, the two carefully examined the scene and found footprints and fingerprints. Based on this, they deduced that the killer was likely not a repeat offender, but rather committed the murder in a moment of impulse.
“Let’s take the fingerprints back for testing,” Bai Mengfei said.
The two then went to the morgue and immediately began examining the body. After a careful examination, Bai Mengfei discovered that the deceased had been dead for at least three days, and had multiple flesh wounds on his body. And, just as Bai Mengfei had suspected, the cause of death was that he had died in excruciating pain.
The wounds on the deceased's body were likely inflicted approximately four days prior, meaning he suffered immense pain before his death. Blood tests confirmed the presence of sedatives in his body.
His roommate, who died before him, died in the same way, but six days earlier, which means the murderer committed the crime again in less than two days.
As for the fingerprints and footprints found at the scene, after examination, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian are still unable to determine who their owners are.
