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

Chapter 496 Surveillance

"No way! This is a dormitory. Would the murderer really dare to come here?" Xiang Yuntian asked, his face full of doubt.

Bai Mengfei, however, held a different view. She said seriously, "It's hard to say. A murderer is capable of anything. I think that person last night is very likely the killer in this plum blossom serial murder case."

Just as everyone was discussing it amongst themselves, Uncle Shi rushed up with a polite smile on his face and asked, "How did you all sleep last night?"

Bai Mengfei then told him in detail what had happened the night before, and said, "We didn't sleep well at all."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Shi's brows furrowed instantly, and his expression became serious.

After thinking for a while, Uncle Shi said, "How could something like this happen here? That's unlikely!"

“This is absolutely true!” Bai Mengfei affirmed firmly.

Uncle Shi pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "How many of you saw that person at the time?"

Bai Mengfei said helplessly, "I'm the only one who saw it."

Uncle Shi then said, "You're not still half asleep in the middle of the night and having hallucinations, are you? Or did you encounter something unclean?"

Bai Mengfei immediately adopted a serious expression and said earnestly, "Those of us in this line of work are the least likely to believe in ghosts and gods. I firmly believe that there are no ghosts in this world."

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Uncle Shi said "Oh" and nodded slightly. Then, perhaps realizing the seriousness of the matter, he said to Bai Mengfei and the others, "Well then, come with me. Let's discuss this matter in detail together."

"Are you taking us to give statements?" Bai Mengfei immediately asked.

Uncle Shi, who was about to turn around, stopped, smiled apologetically, and said, "It can't really be considered taking a statement! It's just that you suspect the murderer of Plum Blossom has found this place, so I have to follow procedure and make a record with you."

After hearing his words, Bai Mengfei turned to look at Xiang Yuntian standing beside her. To her surprise, Xiang Yuntian nodded in agreement.

Since Xiang Yuntian had agreed, Bai Mengfei couldn't say anything more and could only nod slightly. Afterwards, the three of them left the dormitory with Uncle Shi.

When they arrived at the police station to make a report, a policeman rushed over and said, "We've found another female victim, and there's still a plum blossom next to her."

Uncle Shi immediately stopped what he was doing. Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Wang Tian also frowned and exchanged glances. In fact, they had already guessed yesterday that the murderer would strike again today.

"Take us to see it quickly!" Wang Tian said eagerly.

Uncle Shi nodded and stood up.

Afterwards, he personally drove the three of them to the crime scene.

The police officer next to them introduced her to the victim, saying, "The victim's name is Cao Tong. She was not only a married woman but also a model. Although she wasn't particularly famous, quite a few people enjoyed watching her walk the runway."

“Cao Tong? How old is she?” Wang Tian asked.

The officer thought for a moment before saying, "It seems to be 25 years old."

Sure enough, the victims were all between 25 and 26 years old, which made Wang Tian frown.

Bai Mengfei and her group crossed the cordon and entered the crime scene, only to find that the lights in the room were still on and had not been turned off.

Bai Mengfei then asked, "When did you discover the deceased?"

The officer replied, "It was around nine o'clock in the morning, but I only heard the news just now. So I came here immediately to tell Captain Huang and you guys."

"Oh," Bai Mengfei replied casually, and quickly walked towards the room.

The room was very clean and spotless.

"Where is the victim's husband?" Bai Mengfei asked.

The officer said, "He hasn't come back yet."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei turned around and made a "Hmm?" sound to express her confusion.

The officer quickly explained, "He went on a business trip."

After saying "Oh," Bai Mengfei walked towards the body. As she walked, she carefully observed the entire scene and found it unusually clean, with almost no debris.

Upon reaching the body, she slowly knelt down and conducted a thorough examination.

After the examination, she discovered that the cause of death of the female victim, Cao Tong, was exactly the same as that of the previous three female victims. Moreover, the police also found only that one plum blossom at the crime scene.

After assisting the police officers in completing the on-site investigation, Wang Tian walked over to Bai Mengfei and asked, "Have you found any clues on your end?"

Bai Mengfei secretly shook her head, indicating that she had gained nothing.

"Let's take the body back and have the forensic doctor conduct an autopsy," Bai Mengfei decided decisively.

The three of them went to eat after leaving the crime scene.

During the meal, Bai Mengfei felt something was strange and asked, "Don't you think it's odd that the murderer knew our address?"

Xiang Yuntian nodded secretly and said in a deep voice, "I do have that feeling."

After speaking, Xiang Yuntian turned to look at Wang Tian sitting beside him. Seeing Xiang Yuntian suddenly turn to look at her, Wang Tian smiled faintly and asked, "Why are you suddenly looking at me?"

Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and said, "It's nothing, I just wanted to hear your opinion."

“Me?” Wang Tian shook her head secretly and sighed helplessly. “I have no clue either. I just feel that this case is really too difficult to solve.”

“Actually, which of the cases we handled before was easy?” As she spoke, Bai Mengfei had a new idea. “Let’s order food first.”

"Okay!" Wang Tian snapped her fingers and called the waiter over.

After the waiter came over, Wang Tian began to order.

After Wang Tian finished ordering, Bai Mengfei said, "In my opinion, although it is indeed difficult to catch this murderer, he will definitely leave a trace. At least, he is already somewhat wary of us."

"What do you mean?" Wang Tian asked eagerly.

Bai Mengfei turned to look at her, smiled faintly, and said, "What you're saying is that he's afraid of us. If he wasn't afraid, why would he attack us time and time again?"

Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, Xiang Yuntian recalled what happened last night and couldn't help but say, "That's true. So, it's possible that he has inside information about the police?"

"It's hard to be sure yet, but he's already got his eye on us. And right now, he's probably somewhere, secretly watching us."

After speaking, Bai Mengfei shifted her gaze and scanned her surroundings.

Xiang Yuntian also turned his head and looked around, but did not find anyone suspicious.

After the three finished their meal, they walked together and began discussing the case again.
