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

Chapter 149 Nightmare

With Xiang Yuntian's help, she carefully picked up the vegetable leaf with tweezers.

After a preliminary assessment, it was stated: "The murderer most likely used a kitchen knife, and it is very likely the one that is currently stuck in the door."

"Alas, the manner of death was truly gruesome. However, judging from the method, it seems to have been done by a professional."

Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but sigh.

Bai Mengfei looked at him with some confusion and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Xiang Yuntian turned around and explained, "I think this might have been done by a professional assassin."

"But no bullets or shell casings were found at the scene. Could someone have hired someone to kill someone, and even requested that a kitchen knife be used?" Bai Mengfei questioned.

"This is still uncertain. We need to fully understand the situation before we can draw any conclusions."

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment, then slowly shook his head and said, "However, one thing is certain now: Fanghua and this murderer are most likely not directly related."

Bai Mengfei's legs were getting numb from squatting for so long, so she used her hands to support her knees and slowly stood up, saying, "But it must have something to do with the person who hired someone to kill her, right?"

“That should be it.” Xiang Yuntian also stood up.

Afterwards, the two sorted out the physical evidence they had collected and handed it over to Zhao Fei.

After submitting the evidence, Xiang Yuntian was about to leave when he noticed one of Fanghua's neighbors peeking around.

He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, what were you doing when the incident occurred?"

Just then, Zhao Fei walked over and said, "Leave this to me."

After all, questioning witnesses was not within the scope of Xiang Yuntian's duties as a forensic doctor, so he had no choice but to walk away with Bai Mengfei.

After leaving, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but express her thoughts: "I feel that Captain Zhao has been acting a bit strange lately."

“That’s right.” Xiang Yuntian turned his head and secretly glanced at Zhao Fei.

After confirming that Zhao Fei was taking a statement from the neighbor, he turned to Bai Mengfei with a hint of regret and said, "To be honest, he's changed a lot lately. There must be some hidden story behind this that he can't let us know, but given our current status, it's not appropriate for us to pry. You understand?"

"Yes, I understand." Bai Mengfei nodded gently.

The two arrived at the roadside where the car was parked and discovered that Jiang Shuai had been waiting there all along.

At that moment, he took a liking to the two girls next to him, so he leaned against Xiang Yuntian's car, crossed his arms, and struck a handsome pose.

Xiang Yuntian stepped forward, disapproving of Jiang Shuai's nonchalant attitude, and raised his left hand to gently tap Jiang Shuai's forehead with his injured hand.

Jiang Shuai then came to his senses and couldn't help but laugh, saying, "Oh, how come it's over so quickly?"

At this moment, Bai Mengfei suddenly remembered that the murderer's physique was somewhat similar to Jiang Shuai's.

Then she remembered that Jiang Shuai had suddenly left after receiving a phone call that day.

So she grabbed Jiang Shuai's arm, preventing him from getting into the car, and demanded, "Where did you go that day?"

"That day, I received a call from a girl, and then I left. What happened?"

“There’s a problem.” Bai Mengfei said decisively, “I just saw the murderer, and his build looks a bit like yours.”

"Huh? Really? What a coincidence!"

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian also stood on Bai Mengfei's side, staring at Jiang Shuai suspiciously.

In truth, he didn't really believe that Jiang Shuai would kill someone.

"General Jiang, you didn't kill him, did you?"

Seeing that Jiang Shuai was talking to his friend, the two girls turned and left.

The smile on Jiang Shuai's face vanished instantly, and he said seriously, "You actually don't believe me?"

"Why should we believe you?" Xiang Yuntian asked with a serious expression.

Jiang Shuai fell silent, took a deep breath, and said nothing.

"That's enough. After being brothers for so long, all I get in return is your distrust. Let's part ways amicably."

After saying that, Jiang Shuai pushed Xiang Yuntian's hand away and handed the car keys back to him.

Xiang Yuntian watched his departing figure without saying a word.

Bai Mengfei suddenly realized that she might have made a mistake by not trusting Jiang Shuai, so she asked Xiang Yuntian, "Did we misunderstand him?"

Xiang Yuntian lowered his head helplessly and said, "That's hard to say. After all, we are forensic doctors. Everything must be based on evidence and dealt with on the ground. We can't let too much personal feeling get in the way."

"Since that figure does resemble someone from behind, then he's suspicious. It's better for you to say it; it's better than keeping it to yourself and wondering in your head, right?"

“Yes.” Bai Mengfei agreed with Xiang Yuntian’s words.

After that, the two of them left together and returned home.

That night, Bai Mengfei slept very restlessly, plagued by nightmares.

In her dream, she was constantly fleeing desperately from Fanghua's room.

Fanghua appeared in her dreams like a vengeful ghost, becoming a nightmare she couldn't shake off.

In the midst of extreme terror, she suddenly woke up from a nightmare.

Upon hearing a scream of "Ah!", Xiang Yuntian immediately pushed open the door and rushed in.

"Are you alright?" Xiang Yuntian asked anxiously.

Bai Mengfei sighed deeply, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and slowly shook her head, saying, "I'm fine, don't worry too much about me. By the way, did I talk in my sleep or anything?"

After saying that, she swallowed hard again.

Xiang Yuntian stared intently at her for a while, then shook his head firmly and said, "No."

"That's good." With that, Bai Mengfei turned her head with a hint of helplessness, then, remembering Jiang Shuai's situation, she naturally asked, "By the way, I wonder how Jiang Shuai is doing now?"

"Him? He's fine." Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly. "I just contacted him, and he said he's forgiven us. He even invited me out, but I thought it was getting late and it wouldn't be convenient to leave you alone at home, so I declined."

Bai Mengfei felt her mouth was dry and swallowed again.

Then, she took out her phone and glanced at it, only to find that it was just past 10 p.m.

So she looked at Xiang Yuntian and said, "Since you've already put aside your differences, I think you should go and make a trip?"

"I'm not going," Xiang Yuntian refused. "I already told him we'd do it another day. I'm just afraid that while I'm out, you'll sneak off to check on Fanghua's body again."

"Actually, it was fate that I met Fanghua. In any case, I must get to the bottom of her death."

Bai Mengfei said with a somber expression.
