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

Chapter 207 Motive

Once Xiang Yuntian regained his confidence, Bai Mengfei smiled gently at him and said, "Shall we go back?"

Afterwards, the two returned to the police station and were once again exposed to the frigid conditions that most people could not endure. Having frequented this place regularly, they were already used to it.

Bai Mengfei conducted another thorough examination of the body.

In fact, if the murderer hadn't intentionally left that tiny clue, Bai Mengfei probably wouldn't have realized that the place wasn't the primary crime scene. However, based on the current state of the livor mortis on the body, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian have already made a judgment.

Xiang Yuntian felt that this case was anything but ordinary, so he stood beside Bai Mengfei, crossed his arms, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

As Bai Mengfei picked up the scalpel, she inadvertently glanced at Xiang Yuntian and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"Huh?" Xiang Yuntian finally came to his senses, smiled slightly, and shook his head. "I wasn't thinking about anything, but I just felt that this matter was a bit strange, mainly because the murderer was a really strange person."

Bai Mengfei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile. She then nodded and said, "Indeed, and he's a very strange fellow. He actually dared to come here to commit a crime."

After speaking, Bai Mengfei turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian with a deep gaze.

"You suspect that this might have been done by someone inside the police station?" Xiang Yuntian asked suspiciously.

Bai Mengfei gently closed her eyes, nodded, and agreed with Xiang Yuntian's point of view. "That's right, I do have that thought. I feel that this might have been done by our colleague. But as forensic doctors, we can't speculate without solid evidence."

"But surely we can at least try to deduce it?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Hearing his words, Bai Mengfei lowered her gaze and pondered silently for a while. After a moment, she turned her head, looked at Xiang Yuntian, smiled slightly, and said, "Deduction is acceptable, but it must be reasonable. Anyway, our difficulty right now is that we can't make random guesses, you understand?"

“I understand,” Xiang Yuntian replied in a deep voice.

Bai Mengfei smiled again, then stretched and said, "Alright, the case has made a major breakthrough so far. Let's go and rest for a bit."

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian was extremely surprised. Was this considered a major breakthrough? At this moment, he completely didn't understand what Bai Mengfei was thinking, so he looked at her with a face full of suspicion and surprise.

Seeing his shock, Bai Mengfei smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"You mean it's over just like that?"

"Otherwise what?" Bai Mengfei said with a wry smile, "Think about it, we've investigated the case to this point, which can be considered a certain stage limit, right? And compared to before, we've also made more discoveries. So this can also be considered a breakthrough."

After saying that, Bai Mengfei took off her gloves and prepared to leave.

Xiang Yuntian hurriedly caught up with her and said, "Wait a minute, you're making me feel really helpless."

“What’s there to be helpless about? Actually, you’ll understand some things once you get used to them.” Bai Mengfei’s words were cryptic and difficult to understand; even Xiang Yuntian couldn’t fathom the deeper meaning behind them.

So Xiang Yuntian stood there quietly, watching her departing figure, trying to figure out what she was thinking.

However, Xiang Yuntian still couldn't figure it out.

In this police station, if Bai Mengfei claims to be second in intelligence, then probably no one would dare to claim to be first.

When they arrived at the cafeteria for lunch, Bai Mengfei's face was always beaming with a satisfied smile. Seeing this, Zhao Fei figured something good must have happened, so he came over and sat opposite her, asking as they ate, "What results did you find out?"

"Hmm?" Bai Mengfei looked up in surprise, still forking rice with her spoon. "How did you know I'd discovered it?"

"Otherwise you wouldn't be so happy, Cheng Xiao. Don't I know you well enough?" Zhao Fei revealed a sly smile in an attempt to extract information.

Bai Mengfei turned around and looked at Xiang Yuntian, who was walking over, and then said, "Wait for Forensic Doctor Shao to come over and ask him!" Why did Bai Mengfei do this? Because two people might have different opinions on the same matter, and she didn't want to express her own opinion for the time being.

As for the reason, no one knows it except for herself.

After Xiang Yuntian walked over, Zhao Fei indeed asked him, "What did you find out?"

"Ah? I..." Even Xiang Yuntian was a little embarrassed to say it.

Seeing Xiang Yuntian's hesitation, Zhao Fei laughed and said, "Alright, stop it. We're so familiar with each other, just say what you want to say."

Xiang Yuntian glanced at Bai Mengfei's expression, and seeing her calmly nod, he said, "Alright, Captain Zhao, the situation is like this. We discovered that the murderer was extremely intelligent, possibly also a forensic doctor, even more intelligent than us. Moreover, he left some clues that showed us our previous judgments about the time and place of death were wrong."

"Wow! Isn't this a slap in the face?" Zhao Fei turned his head in surprise, looking at Bai Mengfei who was eating as if nothing had happened with disbelief: "Then why are you laughing? Your abilities have been surpassed by him, and you are still so happy?"

Bai Mengfei ate her meal calmly, saying as she ate, "It's nothing. For me, winning or losing isn't the most important thing. The key is to catch him."

Zhao Fei carefully considered Bai Mengfei's words and felt that she made sense, so he nodded silently in agreement, saying, "That's certainly true, but everyone has a bit of a competitive spirit, right? Don't you have one too?"

Bai Mengfei suddenly stopped what she was doing, stopped eating, raised her soup spoon and pointed at Zhao Fei, saying, "Yes, of course. But we will restrain our competitive spirit, which is why I'm happy. I have already understood the murderer's motive. His target was women, especially unmarried single women without boyfriends, and the fundamental motive was provocation."

"What provocation?" Zhao Fei still didn't understand. "Is it a provocation against our police?"

Bai Mengfei frowned, turned to look at Xiang Yuntian, and said solemnly, "No, he probably wants to provoke two people, namely me and Forensic Doctor Xiang. Of course, this series of cases should be directly related to the case of Forensic Doctor Bai's murder. What I mean is, there should be a direct conflict between him and Forensic Doctor Bai."

"It's a pity that Forensic Doctor Bai has been gone for so long! Alas!" Zhao Fei sighed deeply, his face full of sorrow.

Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, thinking that the one who tied the knot must untie it; ultimately, she herself had to seek justice for herself in this case.

At the same time, she felt a sense of joy because she had figured out the killer's true motive.
