Chapter 285 The Lawyer Died
“No problem!” Bai Mengfei smiled. “Even if the truth isn’t what we say, it won’t hurt you, will it?”
Li Tie suddenly realized that Bai Mengfei's words made sense, so he trusted her even more. He then wrote down contact information so that Bai Mengfei and the others could contact the lawyer in charge of the estate, Han.
Attorney Han lived near the intersection of West Street No. 20, which wasn't too far from here, so Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei drove there.
When they arrived at the street, before they even drove up to the house, they saw that a large crowd had already gathered in front of it.
"What are so many people doing there?"
As soon as Bai Mengfei finished asking the question, she felt a vibration in her pocket, followed by her cell phone ringing.
Who could be calling at this time?
Just as Xiang Yuntian pulled the car over to the side of the road, Bai Mengfei took out her phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was a call from Zhao Fei.
Why is Zhao Fei calling at this time?
Bai Mengfei had some doubts, but she still answered the phone.
"Hello, what's up? I'm out with forensic doctor Xiang on some errands!"
"Oh, that's perfect! I was just about to send you out to investigate a case! This morning, someone found a male corpse at No. 20 West Street in this district. You need to go and take a look right away!"
“West Street? Number 20?” Bai Mengfei suddenly remembered the address and contact information written on the paper.
His expression suddenly changed.
Zhao Fei immediately confirmed, "Yes, our initial suspicion is that the deceased was the owner of that house, named Han Jie."
Upon hearing this name, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but gasp, because it was clearly the name of Attorney Han!
So Bai Mengfei naturally turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian had no idea what Bai Mengfei and Zhao Fei were talking about, nor did he understand why she suddenly turned to look at him. So he looked back at Bai Mengfei with a blank expression and a look of confusion in his eyes.
"It was Captain Zhao who called, saying that someone had found Attorney Han's body this morning, and that we should go to the front to check it out now."
Upon hearing this news, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but show a look of astonishment.
"Attorney Han is dead!" Xiang Yuntian exclaimed in shock.
Bai Mengfei nodded firmly and said, "That's right, and we need to go take a look now." After saying that, Bai Mengfei opened the car door and hung her ID on her lapel.
She walked forward without hesitation, while Xiang Yuntian followed behind with some hesitation. The reason he walked so slowly was because he was thinking about many things. He wondered how Han Jie could have died, and whether Han Jie would have survived if he had walked faster.
Because he had thought about so much, he slowed down.
Bai Mengfei stepped outside the crowd, raised her hands, pushed through the onlookers, and said, "Forensic doctor handling a case."
Upon hearing that a forensic doctor had arrived, even the police made way for the two of them to examine the scene.
As Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian approached, they saw a corpse slumped against the doorframe. Judging from the posture, it seemed that Han Jie had tripped while running out, then fell, and the murderer straddled him, stabbing him dozens of times in the back.
So now Han Jie's back is covered in blood and scars, which is quite terrifying.
If it were anyone else, seeing such a bloody scene, they would probably be afraid to look at it for fear of having nightmares at night, but Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian walked over very calmly.
Bai Mengfei slowly squatted down and, after conducting a preliminary examination, said to Xiang Yuntian, "The deceased is a male named Han Jie, a lawyer, 46 years old. The preliminary judgment is that the cause of death was multiple blows to the body with a sharp object, resulting in excessive blood loss. The time of death was between 7:30 and 8:00 in the morning. It is preliminarily determined that this is the primary crime scene, and there are no signs that the body has been moved."
This time, Xiang Yuntian directly took his phone and recorded Bai Mengfei's conversation, because one must be flexible and adaptable in doing things.
After recording Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian asked, "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head and said, "Further testing is needed to confirm."
“Yes, but Attorney Han’s death was definitely caused by violence, it was absolutely homicide!” Xiang Yuntian said solemnly.
Bai Mengfei simply responded with an "Mmm." She then did not immediately get up, but continued to squat beside Han Jie's body to examine it.
“These wounds look like they were made with a fruit knife, and each one is quite deep!” Bai Mengfei said as she observed.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian saw a police officer who had taken off his shoes and entered the house come out and asked, "Did you find anything in there?"
The officer looked bewildered, shook his head slightly, and said, "No, it's very clean inside, there are no traces at all. We even checked it with ultraviolet light, but we didn't find any unusual fingerprints."
Bai Mengfei didn't believe it, so she stood up and decided to examine the scene herself. This was also the work of a forensic doctor, because forensic doctors are more professional than police officers and pay attention to more details.
As soon as she entered the room, Bai Mengfei sniffed the air and immediately frowned.
An older police officer nearby, seeing that she looked very young and knowing she was a forensic pathologist but assuming she was a novice, walked over and said in a teasing tone, "Hey young forensic pathologist, what are you sniffing? We have police dogs here, you don't need to sniff like that!"
Looking at this police officer who was nearly fifty years old and clearly a seasoned veteran, Bai Mengfei didn't want to pay him any attention.
But after she took two steps forward, he followed her and said, "You're a newbie, so be careful not to mess up the scene, or the consequences will be serious!"
How could Bai Mengfei not know these principles? This old fox actually dared to act superior in front of her, he really didn't recognize her talent!
She is usually cold and serious when handling cases and doesn't want to talk to anyone.
But seeing that this veteran officer was going too far and wasn't focused on the case at all, she had to say, "Do you know what I'm smelling? There's a smell of smoke here. Would the police dog tell you if it smelled it? According to my recent examination of the deceased's mouth, he didn't smoke, so the murderer is very likely a smoker! Do you understand?"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's explanation, the seasoned veteran felt his face burning, but in order to save face in front of so many people, he still opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to argue.
