Chapter 155 New Case
Chapter 155 New Case
Upon identification, it was confirmed that it was him.
Those eyes, with their murderous ruthlessness, seemed strangely familiar.
Bai Mengfei had seen a similar look in Xu Sanmin's eyes before, no wonder it looked familiar back then.
After confirming that the murderer was Lao Gui, Bai Mengfei suggested to Zhao Fei, "We need to investigate this man thoroughly. He has most likely been released or escaped from prison and sneaked back into the country."
Zhao Fei adopted Bai Mengfei's suggestion and immediately contacted the international police.
It has been verified that the man called Lao Gui has indeed been released.
Therefore, Zhao Fei quickly launched a manhunt for him.
That evening after get off work, Zhao Fei acted as Bai Mengfei's driver, taking her to his relative's house to see the house he had lent to her.
After the two arrived, Bai Mengfei thought the house was quite nice, so she decided to stay there.
However, this bed is new, and people who sleep on it are prone to having many dreams, especially since Zhang Ting has a special constitution and always has nightmares after falling asleep.
After washing up, Bai Mengfei had just lain down when she dreamed that an old ghost with a mask on came to assassinate her.
In her dream, she ran desperately, but the old ghost, just like at Fanghua's house, relentlessly pursued her, making Bai Mengfei breathless.
In reality, she also felt short of breath while fast asleep.
Gradually, she gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, and her body was soon soaked with sweat.
In her dream, she was ultimately captured by the old ghost.
Just as she dreamt of the old ghost raising his knife to strike, she suddenly woke up from her dream.
She gasped and instinctively turned around, the image of Xiang Yuntian naturally appearing in her mind.
In the past, Xiang Yuntian would always show up with concern at times like this.
However, at this moment, what comes into view is an unfamiliar environment.
She looked around at the darkness and realized that Xiang Yuntian would no longer comfort her as before, and a sense of loneliness welled up in her heart.
She got up and turned on the light, brightening the room as if that would dispel the lingering fear and gloom from her dream.
In the dead of night, she sat alone on the sofa, staring blankly at the wall in front of her. Her mind was not on the nightmare she had just had, but on what Xiang Yuntian was doing at that moment.
In fact, Xiang Yuntian was still awake and was working on his computer in the living room.
But after working for only a few minutes, he couldn't help but stop, turn around and look at Bai Mengfei's room, his thoughts wandering.
Both of them had their hearts set on each other, yet neither dared to make that phone call.
Bai Mengfei really missed Xiang Yuntian, but the words she had spoken to him during the day were still vivid in her mind, so she ultimately didn't make the call.
Xiang Yuntian was worried that Bai Mengfei would find him annoying, so he could only look at his phone, not daring to disturb her rest. But deep down, he also secretly hoped that she would bother him, after all, that would be a form of care.
Bai Mengfei sat there until dawn before going out to buy some food and then going to work.
Although it was the weekend, it was no different from any other day for Bai Mengfei. Forensic doctors rarely had fixed days off; everything depended on their work schedule.
In cases like this, the crime cannot be handed over to others casually. It is best to find evidence as soon as possible to assist investigators in solving the case; otherwise, the murderer may very well commit another crime.
Bai Mengfei sat alone on the bus, her head gently resting against the window. With the bumps of the bus, her whole body swayed.
At this moment, she couldn't help but think of Xiang Yuntian again.
Actually, she might run into him on her way to work in the morning, which would be a good thing for her. As long as she doesn't see Xiang Yuntian chatting and laughing with other girls again.
Unbeknownst to her, a man in the last row of the bus was staring intently at her.
This person was none other than Old Ghost.
Old Ghost's assassination attempt failed last time, so he naturally wouldn't let it go. He was determined to get rid of Bai Mengfei so that she wouldn't testify against him as a witness in the future.
However, he was unaware that Bai Mengfei had already passed the forensic medicine exam.
When they arrived near the police station, Lao Gui saw Bai Mengfei get out of the car and quietly followed her.
He had originally planned to take action, but when he saw Bai Mengfei walk into the police station, he changed his mind.
"A male corpse was found on the beach, and the deceased has been preliminarily identified as courier Ma Lifeng."
As soon as Bai Mengfei arrived at the police station, she received a call from Zhao Fei: "The preliminary autopsy results from the police indicate that Ma Lifeng appears to have drowned. But a deliveryman who has been missing for several days has inexplicably fallen into the sea. I think something is amiss. Go and help investigate."
The beach at the scene has been cordoned off by the police.
When Bai Mengfei arrived, she found that the body's abdomen was swollen and there was mud and sand in its mouth, and the preliminary judgment was that it had also drowned.
However, upon closer inspection, she found Ma Lifeng's death to be quite suspicious.
He had at least 26 wounds on his body, including a suspected stab wound on his left ankle.
A policeman saw a young girl squatting there examining the body. He was skeptical of Bai Mengfei's abilities, thinking she was too young. So he walked over, squatted down, and said, "Hey, stop looking. She just drowned."
Bai Mengfei immediately turned around. The maturity and seriousness in her eyes made the police officer swallow back the words he was about to say.
"Should you be the forensic doctor now, or should I be the forensic doctor?" Bai Mengfei asked.
The police officer hesitated for a moment before finally stating his thoughts: "Of course it's you, but you look too young. You're only seventeen or eighteen, right? Why are you doing this?"
"You don't need to worry about that. You just need to keep an eye on the scene and make sure no one sabotages it."
As Bai Mengfei spoke, she examined the body's injuries and the common descending lividity, paying particular attention to the deceased's pupils.
"The pupils were cloudy and completely opaque, and the body had already developed rigor mortis, indicating that the time of death was more than 48 hours ago."
"The specific circumstances still need further confirmation, but his true cause of death is highly questionable."
"The real cause of death? Wasn't it drowning?"
The policeman said with a wry smile, "I've been a policeman for eight years, and with my experience, I can't be wrong. He drowned and was adrift at sea for two or three days before being discovered."
