Chapter 141 An unexpected discovery
He gave a faint, somber smile.
Then, he gently released Bai Mengfei's hand with his other hand, shook his head, and said, "It's all over now, my injuries have healed."
After saying that, Xiang Yuntian left directly.
Bai Mengfei clearly sensed that Xiang Yuntian's attitude towards her had changed, becoming increasingly indifferent compared to before.
She gazed silently at Xiang Yuntian's receding figure, saying nothing.
However, at this moment, it felt as if a heavy boulder was pressing on her heart, making her feel extremely uncomfortable and even faintly sad.
Just as she was engrossed in watching and about to turn around, she was shocked to discover bloodstains on the corridor outside.
How could there be blood outside the principal's office?
This inevitably aroused her deep suspicion.
There was no other way; as a forensic pathologist, she possessed an extraordinary intuition about blood.
She slowly squatted down and looked up at the sky in that position.
This is the window of the principal's office, and it's obvious that the blood was flowing down from this window.
This discovery made her very suspicious.
She stared intently, observing carefully for a long time, before slowly standing up, her hands supporting her knees.
Just then, the principal walked to the window, preparing to close it. Their eyes met, and instantly, large beads of sweat appeared on the principal's forehead.
The bloodstains must have been dripped recently, and perhaps have nothing to do with the female victim, Tong Qian.
Just as Bai Mengfei was pondering to herself, the principal smiled and suddenly asked with concern, "I heard you're the forensic doctor Xiang's sister. Are you still in school?"
"Mm." Bai Mengfei nodded gently.
The principal warmly invited Bai Mengfei into the house.
Bai Mengfei felt completely at ease and had no guilty conscience. She walked into the room naturally and gracefully, sat down on the sofa in the principal's office, and faced the principal with composure.
Seeing her composed posture and mature demeanor, the principal couldn't help but look at her differently, his face beaming with smiles: "I heard from Captain Zhao that you have an extraordinary talent for autopsies."
"No, no," Bai Mengfei quickly replied modestly, "I only know a little bit, just the basics."
As she spoke, Bai Mengfei humbly lowered her head.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian, sitting on another sofa, was extremely nervous.
They were afraid that Bai Mengfei would be targeted by someone with ill intentions, thus endangering her safety.
So he abruptly interrupted the two people who were talking and said, "It's getting late, Principal, I think we should go back."
The principal, however, wanted to keep the three of them, and then asked Bai Mengfei, "Your chemistry and biology grades must be very good, right? If you're interested, you might consider transferring to our school."
"Thank you for your kind offer, Principal, but no need. I think my current school is just fine."
Although transferring schools would make her the center of attention among her classmates, she still rejected this seemingly generous offer.
After all, one shouldn't accept something for nothing, and she didn't want to receive this benefit for no reason.
After leaving the principal's office, Xiang Yuntian pulled her forward quickly, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Zhao Fei.
"What are you doing?" she immediately questioned Xiang Yuntian.
Xiang Yuntian carefully examined her face and said seriously, "Do you know that your showing off just now really worried me?"
"Me, showing off?" Bai Mengfei frowned, a hint of displeasure rising in her heart.
In fact, after working as a forensic pathologist for a long time, her personality has become increasingly introverted.
It was clearly the principal who had been talking to her.
Seeing that the two seemed to be having a minor argument, Zhao Fei quickly stepped forward to mediate and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Xiang Yuntian replied without hesitation.
Bai Mengfei replied, "Something has come up!"
These two simple words instantly caught the attention of Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian. Both of them looked surprised and curious about what Bai Mengfei would say next.
Bai Mengfei was silent for a moment before slowly saying, "I just found bloodstains outside in the corridor, which should have dripped from the window. As for the specifics, I'm not entirely clear yet."
"How is that possible? How come I didn't notice it?" Xiang Yuntian asked, full of doubt, while trying hard to recall.
Actually, he was so focused on what was happening inside the principal's office that he completely ignored what was happening outside.
The fact that blood from the principal's office would drip down the window into the corridor is truly baffling.
In order to immediately confirm whether what Bai Mengfei said was true, Xiang Yuntian turned around without thinking to go back and check, but was stopped by Zhao Fei.
"Where are you going?" Zhao Fei asked.
Xiang Yuntian said excitedly, "Let's go investigate the case!"
“It’s too late,” Zhao Fei said slowly after looking away and glancing at the ground. “Even if there was evidence there, it has probably already been cleared away.”
"If there is blood, I have at least eight ways to detect it."
Bai Mengfei smiled dismissively and retorted, "Since Forensic Doctor Xiang doesn't believe me, let's go. Even if he wipes the bloodstains clean now, I can still examine them for you. Even if it's not human blood, it's still blood. Because I just smeared some with my finger and smelled it; it had a strong bloody smell. Based on my years of experience, I can tell it should be human blood."
Zhao Fei wasn't an expert in this area, so he could only purse his lips and remain silent.
He silently raised his head and looked at Xiang Yuntian, hoping that Xiang Yuntian would say something.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian was also at a loss, after all, he knew that Bai Mengfei would not make a mistake.
In contrast, Bai Mengfei is more rational than him and will not make wrong judgments based on any factors.
So he said, "No need, I believe you. But that one drop of blood doesn't prove anything. And we can't get any evidence right now, so let's go back first and discuss this further."
"Okay," Zhao Fei replied.
After Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian left, Zhao Fei remained where he was, looking conflicted. Watching the students come and go, he felt uneasy, fearing that this matter would affect his nephew.
Bai Mengfei walked to Xiang Yuntian's car, but said, "I don't want to get in the car. I want to walk around by myself now."
"Why?" Xiang Yuntian asked nervously, his brows furrowed.
Bai Mengfei pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel really stifled and want to clear my head by myself. Actually, I think our investigation might be going in the wrong direction."
"What do you mean?" Xiang Yuntian hurriedly followed Bai Mengfei to protect her.
As Bai Mengfei walked, she shared her investigative deductions: "I feel that the person who killed Tong Qian might not be a school staff member, but possibly her boyfriend."
"Why do you think that?" Xiang Yuntian pressed.
Bai Mengfei pondered the evidence found at the scene, saying as she thought, "Considering the various physical evidence found at the scene and the results of the investigation, and linking them together... in short, the person who killed Tong Qian must have had a very close relationship with her."
