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

Chapter 122 Doubt

"What do you think was the real cause of her death?"

After Bai Mengfei finished recording, she asked Xiang Yuntian a question.

Xiang Yuntian grasped Zheng Xiuxiu's arm and examined it carefully, paying particular attention to the creases on her wrist. He also looked at the color of the lividity and gently pried open her already slightly open hand.

"He was not strangled to death, but was killed first and then strangled with a rope."

After examining the area, he touched the ligature marks on her neck and said, "Judging from her lividity and the bright red color of her lips, I suspect she died of cyanide poisoning."

After speaking, Xiang Yuntian turned to look at Bai Mengfei, his eyes questioning her opinion.

Bai Mengfei also realized that the deceased had died from cyanide poisoning.

However, she did not use Xiang Yuntian's method, but at this moment the method was not the key; what mattered was the conclusion she reached.

After making further notes, the two then turned their attention to examining the male corpse.

The condition of the male corpse is quite similar to that of Zheng Xiuxiu.

The two then conducted an investigation of the scene and found items such as condoms.

Xiang Yuntian picked it up with tweezers and put it into the evidence bag. Then he couldn't help but express his opinion to Bai Mengfei: "To be honest, I think Zheng Xiuxiu deserved to die."

"Alright, stop saying that. We're investigating a case right now, so let's not let personal feelings or subjective emotions get in the way."

Bai Mengfei spoke as she carefully examined the scene.

She found cigarette butts and other items, which she put into an evidence bag.

All of these pieces of evidence will be taken to the forensic identification center and examined by forensic pathologists specializing in physical evidence.

The two bodies will be handled by forensic experts specializing in toxicology and toxicology analysis.

As pathologists and forensic experts, their investigation has reached a certain point, which can be considered a phase in the process.

Bai Mengfei crossed out all the information recorded by the previous forensic doctor, because the murderer had misled her.

As he was about to leave, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but ask again, "Why do you think the murderer always tries to cover it up?"

"Do you suspect he has obsessive-compulsive disorder or something?"

Bai Mengfei smiled gently: "Actually, I think he just wanted to mislead the police investigation and make it more difficult to solve the case. But even so, I believe that Captain Zhao and his team will definitely be able to bring the truth to light."

After saying that, the two took several evidence bags outside and handed them to Captain Zhao and the others who were waiting.

"Is there nothing more for us to do here?" Xiang Yuntian asked, glancing inadvertently at Jiang Fan, who was standing by the corridor, his face as pale as paper.

Xu Sanmin, the older cousin, stood quietly to the side, his warm smile still on his face, without saying a word.

After handing over the evidence, Xiang Yuntian led Bai Mengfei toward Jiang Fan.

"Don't be too sad," Bai Mengfei comforted softly.

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's voice, Jiang Fan closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

At the same time, perhaps because he was too heartbroken, tears streamed down his face.

Seeing this, the two didn't say anything more and left first.

On the way back, in the car, Xiang Yuntian started speculating again, asking Bai Mengfei, "How likely do you think Jiang Fan is the murderer? After all, he seemed too calm."

"I think his behavior is quite normal."

Xiang Yuntian shook his head inwardly and said, "I feel that he actually knows the truth in his heart. You can tell from his expression and his blank eyes. Or perhaps, he is the murderer himself, but he made a mistake in a moment of impulse."

Bai Mengfei smiled and asked in return, "Do you think someone who kills in a fit of impulse could orchestrate such a meticulously planned scheme?"

Just then, Zhao Fei called Xiang Yuntian, asking him to come to the police station immediately and wait for him so they could discuss the case together.

Discussing the case with Xiang Yuntian was extremely beneficial to Zhao Fei, because Xiang Yuntian was not only proficient in pathological forensic medicine, but also had a deep understanding of criminal psychology.

At Zhao Fei's insistence, Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to take Bai Mengfei back to the police station.

Zhao Fei returned half an hour later.

Upon his return, he stated his deduction about the case: "Based on the on-site records you provided, I believe this case can be handled together with the one from a couple of days ago."

“That’s certainly possible.” Xiang Yuntian nodded in agreement.

Bai Mengfei sat beside Xiang Yuntian, head down, without saying a word.

But in reality, she was also combining the clues she had gathered from her investigation with her own thoughts on the case.

As soon as Xiang Yuntian finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.

"Didn't you just say you knew the deceased?"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Fei said somewhat awkwardly, "Then tell me about her. Maybe she can provide me with some clues to solve the case."

“No problem.” Xiang Yuntian recalled for a moment, organized his thoughts, and said, “The deceased, Zheng Xiuxiu, was Jiang Fan’s girlfriend.”

"However, this woman didn't leave a very good impression on me. Just like we saw at the first crime scene, there was a man lying next to her."

"Could the murderer be Jiang Fan?"

Zhao Fei frowned, pondered for a moment, and pointed at Xiang Yuntian, asking, "After all, judging from what he usually writes, with his intelligence, he could very well be the murderer. Moreover, this case is very likely a crime of passion."

“That’s a possibility,” Xiang Yuntian replied.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but interject, "Impossible."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian turned their heads at the same time to look at her.

Both of them looked surprised and wanted to hear Bai Mengfei's opinion.

Bai Mengfei pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, then spread her hands to her sides and frowned as she said, "Actually, this doesn't require any professional knowledge; simple logical reasoning is enough to understand. If you were in Jiang Fan's position, would you have killed the wrong person? But the first female victim was clearly killed by mistake."

At this point, Bai Mengfei suddenly remembered something: "Right, the first female victim was probably wearing a face mask when she died, so the murderer didn't see her face clearly. She was lying down at first, and the murderer calmly waited for a while before turning the body over."

"In other words, the murderer actually knew the second female victim, Zheng Xiuxiu. This case may be a revenge killing."

"Understood." Zhao Fei slammed his hand on the table and said, "So, based on the current situation, a revenge killing is highly likely, and the most probable cause is love turning into hatred. Can we start our investigation by looking at the boyfriends Zheng Xiuxiu has dated?"

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian smiled.

However, he turned his head away, smiling but not answering.

Zhao Fei found it strange, scrutinized Xiang Yuntian's expression, and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Bai Mengfei explained to Xiang Yuntian, "Given Zheng Xiuxiu's values ​​and personality, finding the murderer from her countless ex-boyfriends would be a very difficult task."

After saying that, she gave a helpless, bitter smile.

They truly reaped what they sowed.

"In any case, we cannot rule out the possibility that Jiang Fan committed the murder."

Zhao Fei was also helpless. He frowned and lowered his head, concluding, "I need to ask him to come back and assist in the investigation."
