Chapter 263 Details
After quickly reviewing the information, he made his own deductions.
Xiang Yuntian said, "I understand. To put it simply, this man named Li Tie killed someone and then fabricated the story that his girlfriend had carbon monoxide poisoning, which is the illusion of gas poisoning. I think that's roughly how the case went."
“But since he can fake the scene, it won’t be easy for us to find evidence to refute his disguise,” Bai Mengfei said.
Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head and said confidently, "No, don't forget, we are professional forensic doctors!"
After saying that, a proud smile naturally appeared on Xiang Yuntian's face.
He certainly has reason to be proud, after all, finding investigative clues is his specialty.
Bai Mengfei had complete faith in his abilities in this area and asked with a smile, "Shall we still do it the old way? Sneaking into the female victim's home and getting to the bottom of this."
"Yes!" Xiang Yuntian nodded affirmatively.
Then, under the cover of night, the two arrived at the home of the deceased woman, Fangfang.
Fangfang lives in a residential complex, but her apartment is not in a good location; it's in a rather remote corner.
Generally, other people's rooms either face a door or a wall, but her room faces a fire escape. The fire escape door was half open, and Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian stood there, able to see that the corridor was completely dark.
Xiang Yuntian vaguely heard a man's laughter coming from that direction, so he went inside to investigate. The place, which had been completely dark, suddenly lit up, which startled Xiang Yuntian.
Xiang Yuntian looked closely and realized that voice-activated lights were installed here; the lights would automatically turn on when footsteps were heard.
While Xiang Yuntian was conducting his investigation, Bai Mengfei was pondering how to unlock Fangfang's door.
Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Xiang Yuntian slowly walked back and asked, "Why are you still standing here?"
"How do we open this lock?"
"Open it from the inside!" Xiang Yuntian's words seemed like nonsense, but they actually made a lot of sense.
Because the lock is opened from the inside, under normal circumstances, unless a locksmith is called, it is very difficult for the police to find any clues.
As he spoke, he carefully took out a wire, bent it, and then inserted it into the keyhole.
With a gentle turn, the lock clicked open.
Xiang Yuntian led Bai Mengfei inside in a very open and generous manner.
Fangfang's house is decorated like an apartment. There is a wardrobe on the right side of the entrance hall.
Bai Mengfei gently opened the wardrobe and found it full of women's clothes. What can be deduced from this? It means that Fangfang usually lives in this house.
However, the indoor slippers on the floor come in both men's and women's styles, with women's slippers being the majority.
Not only Bai Mengfei noticed these details, but Xiang Yuntian also saw them. So he turned to look at Bai Mengfei and said, "This room should usually only be occupied by Fangfang."
Since the room was pitch black, Bai Mengfei turned on the light switch in the entryway.
Xiang Yuntian was startled again! Seeing Xiang Yuntian's jumpy appearance, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What's there to be afraid of? Look how nervous you are!"
"I know there's nothing to be afraid of!" Xiang Yuntian still looked shaken, but Bai Mengfei found him incredibly cute.
She looked at Xiang Yuntian quietly, her eyes naturally revealing a look of great interest.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Yuntian felt a little embarrassed by her gaze.
She shrugged, suppressing a laugh, shook her head, and continued her investigation.
Xiang Yuntian followed behind her, carefully examining the places she had looked over, worried that she might have missed some important clues.
Deep down, Xiang Yuntian let her walk in front out of respect.
Regardless of the fact that Bai Mengfei is now his girlfriend, in his heart, Bai Mengfei is still his mentor. At least in this aspect, Bai Mengfei is more skilled than him.
Although Bai Mengfei didn't say anything, this was indeed the truth.
After entering the room, Bai Mengfei carefully inspected the table and other surfaces, gently stroking them with her fingers.
"There's some dust, but the house is generally very clean," Bai Mengfei said to herself as she bent down to observe.
Xiang Yuntian nodded and said, "That's right, so this ash is very likely cigarette ash."
"What do you think? Is it possible for Fangfang to smoke?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head and said, "No, smell it. There's no strange smell in this room. If someone who smokes regularly lived here, there would definitely be a smell of smoke."
“Yes! So this means that her boyfriend was here before, and he was right here.” As she spoke, Bai Mengfei imitated Li Tie’s possible actions at the time, as if she were holding a cigarette in her hand.
This ash must have come from the cigarette butt Li Tie flicked out and landed here.
After figuring this out, Bai Mengfei frowned. Why sit on the cabinet instead of the chairs and sofas over there?
Just then, Xiang Yuntian suddenly noticed a footprint on the carpet.
As a forensic pathologist, I am particularly sensitive to these details, and ordinary criminal investigation staff should also notice these things when they come in to investigate, and may even take off their shoes before coming in.
Furthermore, it's impossible that they didn't notice the footprint; if they had, they would have marked it with a white mark.
Therefore, there must be some problem.
Just as Xiang Yuntian was pondering these things, Bai Mengfei figured out what had been puzzling her and said, "I understand now. There must have been other people in this room at the time. They were sitting in chairs, and they, or Fangfang, may have angered the person sitting on the cabinet."
"Hmm? So, the cigarette ash might not be Li Tie's?"
After asking his question, Xiang Yuntian turned to look at the carpet and said to Bai Mengfei, "Come and take a look. I also found this footprint. I think someone else must have come here after the criminal investigation staff left."
The footprint made Xiang Yuntian ponder for a moment, but as soon as Bai Mengfei approached, she saw through the clues at a glance.
Bai Mengfei then raised two questions: "Indeed! So who risked being discovered to return here? And what does he intend to do here?"
"Sigh, I don't know, so let's continue the investigation!"
Xiang Yuntian couldn't figure it out either. He frowned and shook his head, saying, "Actually, this is what bothers me. The job itself isn't difficult, but the clues are always fragmented and require comprehensive organization."
