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

Chapter 335 Ancient Medicine

"Sure!" Zhao Fei replied with a delighted expression.

After returning home from get off work, Bai Mengfei felt utterly exhausted, so she went straight to the bed and lay down.

As soon as she lay down and stared at the ceiling, her thoughts drifted to Xiang Yuntian, wondering how he was doing at that moment.

Xiang Yuntian will be back tomorrow, but she has to go to the suburbs to cooperate with the investigation, so it seems the two of them won't be able to meet again.

It was only then that she truly understood what it meant to feel like "a day apart feels like three autumns".

The next day, as soon as she received the electronic letter from Zhao Fei, she immediately went to the suburbs to assist the local police in their investigation as a forensic officer.

She hadn't informed the local police about this beforehand. Fortunately, she shared some unique insights at yesterday's meeting, so some officers knew her and warmly welcomed her.

After meeting with the police chief, Bai Mengfei explained the situation in detail. The chief also expressed his full cooperation with her investigation, since everyone shared the same goal: to find the real culprit.

"Is the body still in the morgue here?" Bai Mengfei asked.

The police chief immediately replied truthfully, "No, the body was forcibly taken away and cremated by the deceased's family. The general education level of the people here is not high; it was their family's remains, and there was nothing we could do. Besides, some time has passed, and according to criminal law..."

Bai Mengfei didn't really listen to what the director was saying; she was preoccupied with her own affairs.

Hearing this, she roughly understood the situation, and then asked, "Did your forensic doctor take any photos or anything like that before?"

"Yes, I took some pictures. Do you want to see them?"

The director's question was somewhat redundant, but Bai Mengfei certainly wanted to see it. So without thinking, she nodded and said, "Yes, I want to see it now."

Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket and rang. She quickly reached into her pocket, took out her phone, and glanced at it.

It turned out to be a call from Xiang Yuntian, which made her secretly delighted.

Even the director noticed her happiness, so he quietly turned his face away, pretending not to see, and waited for her to answer the phone.

Seeing that the director had turned his face away, she understood that he had tacitly approved her answering the phone. She immediately pressed the answer button and asked softly, "Hello, Forensic Doctor Xiang, are you back?"

Hearing this somewhat distant form of address, Xiang Yuntian gave a wry smile on the other end of the phone and said, "Yes, I'm back. But why didn't you go to work today? That's not like you at all!"

"Doesn't it seem like it?" Bai Mengfei smiled gently. "Well, actually, I came to the suburbs today to assist with an investigation into a case."

"Oh, I see!" Xiang Yuntian said softly. "So when do you plan to come back?"

"It should be soon! But I can't be sure." Bai Mengfei genuinely couldn't be sure. "By the way, how's the situation on your end? Have you invited Kelly over?"

"Yes, she's here and is recovering the data. It's almost finished." Judging from Xiang Yuntian's tone, he seemed a little unhappy.

Bai Mengfei sensed that there was something going on, so she asked, "What's wrong? You sound a bit down!"

"Really?" Xiang Yuntian said with a wry smile, "No, I don't think so! Sigh, don't overthink it."

"Okay, I guess I was overthinking it. By the way, if you're almost done with your work on your end, ask Captain Zhao if you can come and help me here."

Hearing Bai Mengfei say that, Xiang Yuntian was immediately delighted and said, "Great, I'll apply right now. Anyway, I don't think they need me here."

"Okay! I'll hang up now."

"Okay, hang up!"

As soon as Bai Mengfei hung up the phone, the director teased, "Was it your sweetheart who called you? You were so happy just now, you couldn't stop smiling."

"Is it that obvious?" Bai Mengfei muttered to herself.

However, she remained cold and serious when facing the director. "Really? I didn't even notice it myself! Okay, let's get back to the case, those photos."

"Oh, right, I still need to take you to see those photos." The director suddenly realized.

They then went together to the local forensic department.

This place is remote, and the rules and regulations are not very strict. Although the forensic doctors are on duty, some of them are actually playing on their phones.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but feel puzzled by the scene before her.

What's wrong with this world? Is it going to be a world where the hardworking die from overwork and the lazy starve to death?

Seeing their listless appearance, the director felt utterly humiliated.

The director sighed helplessly and said to Gu Ling, the forensic doctor in charge of the case, "Gu Ling, bring over the photos you took at the scene and show them to this forensic doctor Zhang who came to assist in the investigation. Let's exchange our opinions."

When the director called him, the boy named Gu Ling nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can go out first. I'll tidy up here." After saying that, he quickly started tidying up.

The director couldn't stand it any longer, so he gave Bai Mengfei an awkward smile and then turned and left.

Bai Mengfei walked in slowly, attracting many surprised glances along the way. Perhaps it was because she looked so young that people were so astonished.

After she walked up to Gu Ling, she heard Gu Ling ask, "Are you a forensic doctor?"

"Yes, can't you tell?"

Gu Ling smiled, shook his head, and said, "No, it's just that you seem quite young. But judging from your words and actions, you seem more mature than me, so I was a little surprised."

"Oh, I see!" Bai Mengfei responded, then pulled up a chair and sat down next to Gu Ling. "Where are the photos? I want to see the photos you took before, and the autopsy report."

Gu Ling took out the items one by one and showed them to Bai Mengfei, saying, "Actually, I suspect that this case was committed by the murderer on your side. He's the perverted killer who committed the serial killings of young girls. I think only he could do something like this."

“No! I don’t think so.” Bai Mengfei said as she took the photos Gu Ling had taken and studied them carefully. “On the contrary, I think the murderer did this to shift the blame onto that perverted killer.”
