Chapter 144 Personal Inspection
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, tapped her phone keyboard gently, and replied, "I'll take a taxi to find you right now."
Fanghua still had some concerns and couldn't help but ask, "What about Xiang Yuntian? Why do I feel like we can't let him know about this?"
“Because…” Bai Mengfei typed repeatedly on the screen, then deleted it again and again. After thinking for a long time, she finally organized her thoughts: “He neither wants to be involved in this case nor does he want me to get involved. Today we encountered an accident, as if we were openly ambushed by the murderer.”
"Aren't you hurt?"
In the cold environment, the light emitted from the phone screen, like the cool moonlight, illuminated Fanghua's slightly mature face.
Considering that the two were going to work together and were also colleagues, Bai Mengfei told her what had happened: "Xiang Yuntian is injured, and his arm is in bad shape. So this time, you and I will work together to find out the truth of this case."
After a moment's thought, Fanghua ultimately chose to believe Bai Mengfei.
In her eyes, she had agreed to Zhang Ting's request, and Zhang Ting was indeed exceptionally talented in the field of forensic medicine.
She was eager to solve the case as soon as possible, so this was the only decision she could make at the moment.
That night, Bai Mengfei hailed a car and rushed to the forensic identification center.
Fanghua was worried about Bai Mengfei's safety, so she came outside to wait for her.
After the two met, without much pleasantries, Bai Mengfei went straight to the point and explained the case.
"Based on the current situation, there are two possibilities for this case. First, the murderer is Tong Qian's boyfriend; second, the murderer is from the school. But in any case, the murderer must be someone Tong Qian was once very familiar with."
Fanghua wholeheartedly agreed, nodding vigorously, and said, "That's right, I think so too. Moreover, the murderer is definitely still lurking in the shadows, after all, they attacked you two today."
As they spoke, the two entered the testing center and walked down the cold corridor.
As Bai Mengfei walked, she pondered for a moment, then said, "That's inevitable, and the murderer's main target was me. Perhaps it's related to my appearance on television last time; he was worried that I would thoroughly investigate the case, so he wanted to kill me to silence me."
“That’s possible,” Fanghua replied thoughtfully.
When she was by Bai Mengfei's side, she always felt that her aura was slightly inferior.
The two returned to the cold storage room where the body was kept. There, Bai Mengfei slowly uncovered the white cloth covering Tong Qian's body.
Upon seeing the body again, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but sigh, "The murderer was truly too cruel."
Standing to the side, Fanghua said with a serious expression, "That's right. Not only that, she was abused before she died. Guess what I found in her stomach when I examined the body again?"
"What did you discover?" Bai Mengfei turned to look at Fanghua in confusion.
Fanghua picked up a transparent evidence bag containing a case-like object.
Upon seeing this, Bai Mengfei instantly understood.
At the same time, images flashed through her mind of the deceased woman, Tong Qian, being forcibly inserted with this object before her death.
"This murderer is absolutely deranged," Bai Mengfei couldn't help but comment.
Fanghua nodded gently and answered affirmatively, "That's right, and that's not all. There's still some liquid inside, although it's been diluted by stomach acid, but..."
At this point, she felt it was inappropriate to discuss this with Bai Mengfei, so she stopped talking.
Bai Mengfei, on the other hand, was quite calm and had always taken these matters in stride. She said, "It's alright, please continue."
Fanghua appeared even more shy than Bai Mengfei, and pretended to be busy, saying nothing more.
From this discovery, Bai Mengfei concluded: "It seems that this thing was inserted into the female victim shortly before she died. And she must have been alive at the time, otherwise this thing would have just been stuck in her throat."
“Yes, I agree with you.” Fanghua agreed with Bai Mengfei’s point of view. “However, I am not yet clear on what role this evidence will play in finding the murderer.”
Bai Mengfei took a deep breath of the cold air and analyzed, "I've seen Tong Qian's photos before; she's of average appearance. I've also learned some things about her from Captain Zhao; apparently, she's not a very good person."
“Of course,” Fanghua said suddenly with great certainty. “Think about it, she did something like this at such a young age. If her parents were still alive, they would definitely feel ashamed.”
Bai Mengfei did not comment on this.
After a moment of silence, Bai Mengfei said again, "But no matter what, we must seek justice for the deceased."
"Yes, but with our meager strength and these scattered pieces of evidence, how easy is it to find the murderer?"
Bai Mengfei understood what Fanghua meant; after all, finding someone in such a vast sea of people was no easy task.
However, she remained convinced that the body could provide clues, so she turned her attention back to it and began to examine it carefully. She was very thorough, just like her profession, which did not allow her to be careless.
Otherwise, it would not only be disrespectful to the profession, but also to the deceased.
Suddenly, without her noticing, she discovered a small white dot in Tong Qian's throat.
She immediately said to Fanghua beside her, "Could you please hand me the tweezers?"
Fanghua knew her professional skills well and silently handed her the tweezers.
Bai Mengfei pulled a small piece of fingernail from Tong Qian's mouth.
Thanks to the effects of saliva and the oral environment, this fingernail is relatively well preserved, with some bloodstains still on it.
Upon seeing this, Fanghua asked in surprise, "How did you find out?"
"The fingernail was located deep in her throat, and it looks like she bit it off before she died, before she had a chance to swallow it."
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's conclusion, Fanghua gasped in shock, exclaiming, "Impossible! Why would she bite her own nails before being killed? Could the murderer have inserted those nails?"
"If the murderer put it there, why do you think the murderer would do that?" Bai Mengfei looked at Fanghua with sharp eyes: "And look at her hands, her nails are all cut very short, how could there suddenly be such a small piece?"
“Indeed.” Fanghua pondered Bai Mengfei’s analysis carefully.
At this moment, Bai Mengfei analyzed some clues from the fingernails: "If these fingernails really belong to the murderer, then the murderer is likely to work in an office job, which would explain the long fingernails. Of course, this is just speculation. Also, the murderer is definitely missing a fingernail now."
"Definitely, a fingernail was forcibly ripped off..."
At this point, Fanghua suddenly stopped, perhaps feeling a chill run down her spine at the thought of that scene.
"Well, we cannot rule out the possibility that the deceased and the murderer had an argument or quarrel at the time of the incident."
Bai Mengfei appears to be communicating with Fanghua, but in reality, she is organizing her own thoughts.
