Chapter 136 Forensic Doctor
Chapter 136 Forensic Doctor
Bai Mengfei provided some reference information.
A forensic doctor stepped forward and provided some information, saying, "That's right, the female victim's time of death was no more than two days ago, and she was discovered and reported to the police the day after her death."
"Because the body was dumped in the cold sewer, the skin was frozen and turned purple. In addition, it had been soaked in sewage for a long time, and there were many ulcers on the body. Furthermore, the deceased's face was severely disfigured, and at present, apart from confirming that she was female, we cannot determine her identity from her physical characteristics."
"So, it's quite difficult to find out if she has any enemies or anything like that, right?"
Bai Mengfei looked at the forensic doctor who had stepped forward to provide her with a summary, her eyes full of respect: "However, judging from the modus operandi, this case and the case in which forensic doctor Bai was murdered are very likely of the same type."
"In other words, the female victims who were brutally dismembered after being murdered were also very likely killed by this same person. Therefore, the police may not need to spend a lot of effort to find out the identity of this victim."
Upon learning that Bai Mengfei possessed such detailed knowledge, the forensic doctors instantly felt that she was like a young and beautiful "expert," and unconsciously centered their thinking around her judgments.
Fanghua's investigation results were rather ordinary, and her approach lacked originality, so no one paid much attention to her, and she was left out in the cold.
She had assumed that Bai Mengfei was indeed Xiang Yuntian's apprentice, and since she was now working in the same criminal investigation team as Xiang Yuntian, she should be considered Zhang Ting's senior.
But now that I'm being treated this coldly, I feel a bit unbalanced.
Just as everyone was surrounding Bai Mengfei, asking her questions and discussing the matter together, she quietly left.
With the assistance of a group of forensic doctors, Bai Mengfei conducted an in-depth investigation into the female victim and determined the true cause of death.
This female victim had also been assaulted before her death, and her experience was similar to that of the previous female victims.
The body was dismembered with a not-so-sharp knife, first defiled, then suffocated, and finally thrown into the sewer.
The murderer should be male, and he did not leave any physical traces such as semen inside the female victim's body.
After everyone completed the test report, Bai Mengfei took it and gave it to Zhao Fei.
After all, Bai Mengfei did most of the deduction work, and she was the one who discovered a lot of key information.
In the central hall, Zhao Fei received the appraisal report and immediately began to study it carefully.
This information was indeed of great help to him in solving the case.
“This killer’s methods are quite sophisticated, even more skillful than last time,” Zhao Fei said. “So, what’s missing from this female victim’s body this time?”
After thinking for a moment, Bai Mengfei said, "A bone is missing."
Which bone?
“It’s part of the tibia.” Bai Mengfei took a deep breath and sighed slowly. “It’s also possible that it was overlooked when collecting evidence at the crime scene?”
“Impossible, everything was packed in one sack.” Zhao Fei’s tone was certain yet tinged with doubt: “But how did you know a bone was missing? How could you be so observant?”
Bai Mengfei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile, and she said, "An adult normally has 206 bones, and in our country, it is generally 204."
"Of course, if it were a child, there would usually be 11 to 12 extra pieces, making it about 217 or 218 pieces. But this is clearly the body of an adult woman, so let's say 204 pieces. If you look closely, you'll notice that one piece of the tibia is missing. I might not understand even if I explain it to you, so you should go and check it out for yourself."
Zhao Fei shrugged helplessly and gave a wry smile.
Even if you put all the bones in front of him right now, it's still a question of whether he could assemble a complete human model.
Therefore, he chose to believe Bai Mengfei.
"Alright, in that case, I believe you."
Zhao Fei smiled and said, "But then again, if he wants to piece together a complete person, how many women would he have to harm?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei subconsciously raised her left hand and gently pinched her lips.
She was seriously considering what Zhao Fei said, because Zhao Fei was absolutely right.
So, if we calculate it that way, the murderer must have at least three hundred more people to kill, right?
If you had to piece together bone by bone, plus the skin and other tissues, it would be absolutely terrifying.
As she pondered this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but take a deep breath.
At this moment, Zhao Fei mentioned something: "By the way, you smell a bit like a corpse. Do you want to go and wash yourself?"
Bai Mengfei then realized what was happening, though she was already used to it. "Oh, no need. Washing with water won't help anyway. I'll just buy some herbs at the herbal medicine shop on my way back and that'll remove it."
"Alright, shall I take you home now?"
"Ah."
When the two passed by a traditional Chinese medicine shop, they bought some herbs.
After all, we are Chinese, and we still draw on the wisdom of our ancient times for some methods and common sense.
Afterwards, Zhao Fei really did take Bai Mengfei home, showing her great care the whole way. He truly treated Bai Mengfei like a treasure.
Previously, Bai Mengfei was always with Xiang Yuntian, so Zhao Fei thought that Bai Mengfei was relying on Xiang Yuntian. But after Bai Mengfei solved Xu Sanmin's case on her own, Zhao Fei truly recognized Bai Mengfei's abilities.
Bai Mengfei was already exceptionally strong.
When Bai Mengfei returned home, she was taken aback as soon as she entered the door. Jiang Shuai and Xiang Yuntian were sitting quietly on the sofa, not uttering a sound.
"You... how did you all get back?" Bai Mengfei asked in surprise.
Xiang Yuntian didn't turn his head, but Jiang Shuai kept winking at her, implying that Xiang Yuntian was in a bad mood.
Bai Mengfei then slowly walked over, but she had no intention of flattering her.
After all, who is she?
Others might not understand, but how could Xiang Yuntian not understand?
She was Xiang Yuntian's former teacher, and she taught him a lot.
Moreover, she believed that she was destined to be a forensic doctor; it was a destiny that Xiang Yuntian could not stop with a mere objection.
So, she sat down next to Xiang Yuntian with a perfectly reasonable air, without mentioning her own affairs, only concerned about Xiang Yuntian's condition: "Did the doctor say you're alright?"
"No." Xiang Yuntian replied, then looked up at Jiang Shuai sitting on the opposite sofa and said, "Jiang Shuai, if you have nothing else, why don't you go back first?"
Jiang Shuai was worried that Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian would start arguing again and that something unexpected might happen, so he didn't want to leave: "Is it because I have nothing to do that you let me stay here a little longer? So that I don't wander around like a headless fly."
"You can stay if you want."
Xiang Yuntian made a request: "But I hope you won't interrupt our conversation later."
