Chapter 204 Teeth Marks
Chapter 204 Teeth Marks
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Bai Mengfei with eyes full of approval.
His joy was evident in his expression.
Bai Mengfei's brief words were indeed very clever.
It neither damaged the relationship between the police and the public, nor gave the perpetrator an opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and at the same time won the understanding and support of the public.
If it were anyone else, faced with numerous questions from the media and the public, in such a short time, the only solution they could probably come up with would be to sacrifice the secondary to preserve the primary.
Turning conflict into harmony is virtually impossible!
However, Bai Mengfei did it!
But in her own eyes, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.
Faced with Zhao Fei's praise, she simply smiled modestly and did not respond much.
After Zhao Fei finished speaking, Bai Mengfei said, "Captain Zhao, if there's nothing else, I'll go and get back to work."
"Okay, go ahead."
After receiving Zhao Fei's permission, Bai Mengfei went out first.
Xiang Yuntian followed behind her, saying as they walked, "Team Leader Zhao, I'm going out too."
Zhao Fei understood that both of them had work to do, so he didn't stop them.
Xiang Yuntian hurriedly ran outside to catch up with Bai Mengfei and said, "Hehe, you were amazing just now!"
Hearing Xiang Yuntian's praise, Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and smiled modestly, "Actually, it's nothing. I was just stating the facts. But your reaction really surprised me, you know?"
"Really?" Xiang Yuntian walked beside Bai Mengfei, wanting to get closer to her.
But he also noticed that every time he got a little closer, Bai Mengfei would subtly move away a little.
She was really afraid that some of her actions would deepen Xiang Yuntian's feelings for her.
After all, if one were to leave this body at any time, the deeper the other person's love for them, the deeper the hurt they would suffer.
The two walked side by side until they reached the cold storage room.
“Actually, the little girl’s body still needs to be examined more carefully.” Bai Mengfei said as she put on gloves. “After all, there may be traces of the murderer on the body, as well as information that the body wants to convey to us. These cannot be ignored.”
After speaking, Bai Mengfei walked straight to the body and began to examine it.
Based on her experience, there are specific procedures for examining a corpse, usually starting with the head.
Because, under normal circumstances, the head is the most vulnerable part of the body.
"The deceased's head was undamaged, and all organs were intact except for the missing nose. The cheekbones, sternum, ribs, pelvis, etc. were all undamaged."
"However, the deceased's lips were dark purple, there were black marks on his fingernails, and there were pink scars on his arms. Based on preliminary judgment, the deceased may have died of poisoning."
"Poisoned?" Xiang Yuntian stepped forward, his face full of doubt, and said, "Really?"
Bai Mengfei turned to look at him and asked seriously, "Why is it impossible?"
“Weren’t the previous cases all cases where the victim was assaulted before being killed?” Xiang Yuntian countered.
Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment before giving a clear answer: "This time, the murderer may not have had time to do that kind of thing. But look at the wound on her nose; the nasal bone was neatly cut off."
Xiang Yuntian stood aside, carefully observing the obvious wound on the female victim's body, following Bai Mengfei's index finger.
The facts are just as Bai Mengfei analyzed.
However, this result is also because they had already conducted an inspection on-site before, making this inspection relatively easier.
Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, then frowned.
Because he saw a faded teeth mark on the deceased's shoulder.
Moreover, this tooth mark was clearly left after the deceased had died.
“Look, what’s this?” Xiang Yuntian pointed to the deceased’s shoulder with the pliers in his hand.
Bai Mengfei frowned and, after careful observation, concluded: "The skin around the wound shows no signs of tightening; instead, it appears pale. This must have been caused by being bitten after death."
Xiang Yuntian nodded silently, agreeing with Bai Mengfei's conclusion, and said curiously, "But there's still something I don't understand."
"Which point?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and then said, "Why would the murderer do this?"
Following Xiang Yuntian's question, Bai Mengfei thought about it carefully for a while, and then deduced: "Either the female victim and the murderer had a conflict, or the murderer himself was mentally abnormal, but the latter is much less likely than the former. Therefore, I now suspect that the victim had a conflict with the murderer before his death."
"No way?" Xiang Yuntian said in surprise, "If that's the case, did you have a grudge against that murderer in your past life? After all, he was a serial killer!"
Bai Mengfei frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "This possibility cannot be ruled out."
Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and then decided, "Alright, shall we go to the scene now?"
"Go to the scene? You mean go back to their school to conduct an investigation?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian nodded solemnly, indicating his agreement.
The two then left together, intending to first report the situation to Zhao Fei, and then go to the crime scene together to conduct a new investigation.
So they went to Zhao Fei's office, only to find Wang Tian there as well.
When Wang Tian saw Xiang Yuntian enter, she turned around excitedly and asked him, "Why are you here?"
Out of politeness, Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly at her and said, "We've come to ask Captain Zhao for some instructions."
Zhao Fei immediately asked, "What is it?"
"We need to go to the deceased's school to investigate because we've made a new discovery." As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian would occasionally turn to look at Bai Mengfei: "There's a tooth mark on the female victim's shoulder, which should have been left by the murderer. And judging from the condition of the tooth mark, we initially determine that it was left after the victim died."
Upon hearing this crucial clue, Zhao Fei immediately frowned, a look of suspicion on his face.
He blinked silently, thought for a moment, and then said, "So what are your plans now? Are you going to investigate her teachers and classmates, or re-examine the crime scene?"
Upon hearing this question, Xiang Yuntian smiled wryly and said, "Can I do both at the same time?"
"Of course, but I'm worried that the two of you might not be able to handle it all, as your energy is limited," Zhao Fei said with a smile.
Just then, Wang Tian suddenly volunteered, saying, "Team Leader Zhao, let me go with them?"
Zhao Fei felt it was necessary, so he nodded slightly and agreed to her request.
