Chapter 492 Re-examination of the Corpse
Chapter 492 Re-examination of the Corpse
After responding to Zhao Fei, Xiang Yuntian turned his head and looked at Bai Mengfei, who was standing to the side.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei's face was filled with indifference, and her expression appeared somewhat solemn.
Xiang Yuntian didn't want Bai Mengfei to dwell on the previous case. In his opinion, someone like Lian Muchen wasn't worth helping. So, he said softly to Bai Mengfei, "Let's investigate this case properly first."
Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's suggestion, Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, which was considered an agreement.
After Zhao Fei brought the autopsy report, Bai Mengfei studied it intently. She discovered that all three female victims had been sexually assaulted before their deaths, and that the cause of death in all cases was strangulation.
However, the murderer's methods were quite clever; no obvious traces were left on the surface of the body.
However, Bai Mengfei did not entirely agree with the examination report. Based on her intuition and experience, she felt that no matter how careful the murderer was, it was impossible to be completely foolproof, and there must have been some clues left behind.
So she decisively said, "Let's go, let's investigate now."
Xiang Yuntian knew Bai Mengfei was speaking to him, but he didn't quite understand the specific meaning behind her words, so he asked, "What do you mean?"
Bai Mengfei immediately explained, "Go and re-examine the body."
Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then shrugged and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
And so, they left the office together.
When they arrived at the parking lot, they saw Wang Tian rushing over.
When Wang Tian arrived, panting, she said to the two of them, "Captain Zhao asked me to come and assist you. He hopes I can help solve the case, so you know what I mean!"
Bai Mengfei gave a helpless wry smile, nodded slightly, and said, "Understood, get in the car."
After the three of them got into the car, Bai Mengfei asked Wang Tian, who was sitting in the back seat, "Have you looked into the case details?"
Wang Tian pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I've seen them all, and I remember them very clearly. The victims were three women, named Qin Luoying, Jiaxin, and Duan Yu."
“That’s right,” Bai Mengfei replied.
Wang Tian continued, "They were all between 25 and 26 years old. The murderer would leave a plum blossom at each crime scene, and the crime scenes were all in the homes of these three female victims. Previously, the local police and criminal investigators had not found any valuable clues, so I estimate that we will have to stay here for a while."
“That’s true,” Bai Mengfei agreed.
After driving for several hours, the three finally arrived at the local police station.
As soon as I arrived at the police station, a torrential downpour began from the already gloomy sky.
The three had no choice but to rush directly from the parking lot into the police station in the rain.
As soon as he rushed into the police station, Xiang Yuntian complained, "What bad luck!"
Wang Tian continued, "I think the worst is yet to come!"
Bai Mengfei asked curiously, "What does that mean?"
Wang Tian explained, “This case is not simple in itself. Let me put it this way, I feel like we’re going to be staying here for a long time. And I’ve been paying attention to the surrounding environment along the way, and the conditions here are much worse than where we are, so I’m feeling a little frustrated.”
Hearing Wang Tian say that, Bai Mengfei smiled gently and comforted her, "Don't think too much about it."
Just then, a man in a police uniform walked over and asked, "Are you three people sent by Captain Zhao?"
Bai Mengfei and the others turned around when they heard the sound.
The man appeared to be around forty years old, with a kind face.
Seeing the three of them looking over, he introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Huang Zhengshan. You young people can just call me Uncle Shi."
Wang Tian immediately retorted, "We're not children anymore."
"Oh, right, right!" Uncle Shi quickly corrected himself with a smile, "I know you're not children anymore. Hey, I heard you've solved quite a few major cases together, is that true?"
Wang Tian hummed in agreement and nodded slightly.
Uncle Shi chuckled and continued, "Come in. I've already arranged dormitories for the three of you, and you can move in anytime. Besides, it's almost dinner time, so why don't you eat with the police here? It's raining so hard outside, you don't want to get caught in the rain and catch a cold."
Uncle Shi's manner made it seem as if he treated Bai Mengfei and the others as his own children.
However, Bai Mengfei and the others didn't pay much attention to it. They thought Uncle Shi's suggestion was quite thoughtful, so they agreed.
The three followed Uncle Shi to the canteen, and soon began to eat.
During the meal, Uncle Shi warmly entertained them.
Uncle Shi said, "Actually, I've been following up on this case. The murderer is very cunning and resourceful. My feeling is that he's a repeat offender."
"Why do you say that?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Uncle Shi pondered for a moment and said, "Let me put it this way, this criminal gives me the impression of being very experienced. He knows how to fake crime scenes and create illusions, yet he arrogantly left a plum blossom at the scene, as if he was afraid that others wouldn't know that he was the one who committed these crimes."
“Indeed, such murderers are rare,” Bai Mengfei analyzed to herself. “However, the fact that he deliberately left the plum blossom suggests that he anticipated his crimes would be discovered, or perhaps the plum blossom was intended to mislead our investigation.”
Uncle Shi nodded after listening and praised, "That's a possibility; the analysis is very insightful."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xiang Yuntian, who was deep in thought.
In Uncle Shi's opinion, Xiang Yuntian, as a man, should be the backbone of Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian.
So he asked Xiang Yuntian, "Forensic Doctor Xiang, what are you thinking about? Why are you so quiet, not even eating?"
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian was thinking: How should he tell Bai Mengfei about his plan to go into business? And how could he get Bai Mengfei to leave the forensic field with him?
Upon hearing Uncle Shi's question, Xiang Yuntian abruptly raised his head and let out a soft "Ah." His mind wasn't on the case at all, and he felt a little uneasy.
"What did you say?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Uncle Shi noticed that Xiang Yuntian was lost in thought, so he smiled tolerantly and said, "I told you to eat." After saying that, Uncle Shi smiled again, shook his head to himself, and muttered, "Young people are still young people after all."
That evening, when arranging the dormitories, since there were only two rooms left, Uncle Shi hoped that Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian would squeeze in.
They both nodded in agreement.
After Uncle Shi left, Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian exchanged a knowing glance.
Afterwards, Wang Tian returned to her room, but Bai Mengfei did not follow her in. Instead, she headed towards Xiang Yuntian's room.
