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

Chapter 154 Killer

"Zhang Ting, can't you let me explain?"

Ignoring the fact that there were still many people around, Xiang Yuntian deliberately lowered his voice and explained urgently, "Wang Tian and I really don't have any special relationship."

Bai Mengfei walked straight past him, her shoulder lightly brushing against his arm—a brief touch.

Xiang Yuntian quickly turned his head and stared at her receding figure, filled with worry that he would have no further connection with her in the future.

In two days, Zhang Ting, the body Bai Mengfei is currently possessing, will be celebrating her birthday.

After her birthday, she will turn 18, and she now has a stable job.

By then, she seemed to need Xiang Yuntian even less.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yuntian felt flustered and even broke out in a cold sweat.

Just as he was engrossed in looking at it, Zhao Fei noticed him standing outside his office door and quickly came out, saying, "What are you looking at? Are you looking at Zhang Ting?"

Hearing Zhao Fei's voice, Xiang Yuntian finally came to his senses and turned to look at him.

He sighed helplessly, lowered his head, and remained silent.

At this moment, he still felt that he had done something wrong, but he did not realize the root of the problem.

"Actually, I can tell you're interested in this girl."

Zhao Fei continued, "Honestly, you have great taste; everyone you like is so outstanding. But let me remind you, when you meet someone you like, you have to be brave and pursue them. Don't wait until you've completely missed your chance to regret it."

Zhao Fei's unintentional remark seemed to have inspired Xiang Yuntian.

He decided to use a tactic he had previously disdained—persistence and relentless pursuit.

So he went to Zhao Fei's office.

Just then, Wang Tian delivered the file on Fanghua's death, saying that Zhao Fei had arranged for Bai Mengfei to handle the case.

It was indeed Zhao Fei's arrangement. From a rational perspective, Bai Mengfei was indeed the most suitable candidate.

After all, she had direct contact with the murderer and had dealt with him, so in this case, she was arguably the most qualified forensic doctor to investigate.

But Xiang Yuntian was worried about her safety. As soon as he saw the file, he knew what was inside and immediately reached out and snatched the file away.

"This was sent by Captain Zhao," Wang Tian quickly explained.

Xiang Yuntian was always assertive towards other girls because he never saw them as weak women, and Wang Tian was no exception.

He held up the file and said angrily, "We all know how dangerous this case is, how could you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei snatched the file from Xiang Yuntian's hand.

This sudden action startled Xiang Yuntian, and his face instantly turned deathly pale.

"Don't interfere in my affairs anymore," Bai Mengfei said coldly.

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian was completely stunned.

He opened his mouth, wanting to ask what was going on, but the words wouldn't come out, because he felt he no longer had the right to ask.

After receiving the file, Bai Mengfei looked at the photos and, with the professional perspective of a forensic doctor, calmly and objectively examined the half-corpse.

Knowing he was unwelcome and not wanting to make a fool of himself, Wang Tian turned and left.

Xiang Yuntian, however, remained stubbornly refusing to leave, trying to reason with him: "Please don't touch this case, okay?"

Bai Mengfei immediately raised her head coldly and replied, "Can I not let you eat? This is my job, don't you understand?"

Xiang Yuntian had no answer to this.

However, he was truly unwilling for Bai Mengfei to get involved in the case. After hesitating for a moment, he said again, "Then handing this case over to me will yield the same result."

"Is your hand better? Don't you have anything else to do?" Bai Mengfei was worried that she would be persuaded by Xiang Yuntian, so she took the photos and reports and walked towards the laboratory.

She still planned to investigate the half-corpse and the kitchen knife herself, hoping there might be fingerprints on them.

Xiang Yuntian followed closely behind.

"Have you followed me enough?" Bai Mengfei suddenly stopped and turned to look at him.

Xiang Yuntian then stopped, breathed a sigh of relief with some guilt, and said, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry for what?" Bai Mengfei asked, puzzled.

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then explained regarding what happened that day: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gotten so close to Wang Tian. But I promise I won't do it again. Can you forgive me?"

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath in exasperation and walked straight into the laboratory.

She would rather face a cold corpse than confront the emotional entanglement between the two.

During the autopsy, Xiang Yuntian kept nagging beside her, which Bai Mengfei found increasingly irritating, as it was seriously affecting her work.

So she looked up at Xiang Yuntian and asked, "Is this how I used to teach you? You know I don't like people interfering with my objective judgment when I'm working."

Xiang Yuntian then shut his mouth, looking just like when he was a student and was being criticized by his teacher.

In truth, Bai Mengfei felt a mix of anger, love, and helplessness towards him. Whenever he stood by her side, she couldn't concentrate on her work.

"Please get out of here. I don't want to see you. Just seeing you makes me upset."

Hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian felt as if his heart had been stabbed.

He didn't understand why Bai Mengfei would be upset because of him if she had no feelings for him.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally gave up and turned to leave.

After he left, Bai Mengfei began to carefully examine Fanghua's half-corpse.

At this point, features such as lividity had become visible, and it could be determined from this lower half of the body that Fanghua had indeed been killed by having her waist severed by a single blow.

The killer's knife skills were proficient and the methods were cruel, which is consistent with Xiang Yuntian's initial deduction at the scene.

Fanghua did indeed die at the hands of a professional killer.

However, there probably aren't many assassins these days who are skilled with knives, right?

So, Bai Mengfei went to Zhao Fei's office and suggested, "Captain Zhao, I think we should start by investigating the most well-known assassins, especially those skilled with knives. Only by finding the assassin can we uncover the mastermind behind it all."

Zhao Fei strongly agreed with this.

Given Bai Mengfei's previous outstanding performance, he now trusts her implicitly.

After conducting a comprehensive investigation of the case using the police network's big data, Zhao Fei discovered...

Among the many recorded assassins, there is a man nicknamed "Old Ghost" who is particularly skilled with a knife.

However, after a detailed investigation, it was discovered that the man is currently in jail in the United States.

Because Bai Mengfei had met the murderer before, Zhao Fei summoned her and asked her to identify whether the person in the file was the murderer.
