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

Chapter 472 Targeting

Bai Mengfei sighed softly and said, "Perhaps she feels that the age gap between her and Forensic Doctor Xiang is too large."

“I don’t think so. It’s her wholehearted dedication to her work that’s what sets her apart. She only has her work on her mind,” Wang Tian said with certainty. “She is truly an idol worthy of admiration.”

"Alright." Bai Mengfei gave a helpless wry smile and sighed from the bottom of her heart, "Sometimes fantasy is always better than reality. But as long as this fantasy can have a positive effect, it's not bad."

Wang Tian glanced at her furtively and said, "You talk as if you're very familiar with Forensic Doctor Bai."

"No, I was just saying it offhand." After saying that, Bai Mengfei regained her serious expression and continued to think about the case.

Wang Tian knew she was engrossed in the case again, so she asked, "Then why do you think this case is more difficult to solve than that serial murder case of teenage girls? Can you tell me? I really want to know."

“Of course.” Bai Mengfei was never a stingy person. Just like in her previous life, she liked to share her insights and thoughts. “The difficulty of this case lies in the murderer’s psychology, which is really hard to fathom. If corpses could talk, then these two corpses are like they were tampered with by the murderer, and what they say is illogical and incoherent.”

"Pfft!" Wang Tian didn't quite understand, so she could only laugh to ease the awkwardness.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian walked over. Seeing Bai Mengfei and Wang Tian talking in hushed tones, he unconsciously slowed his pace.

He walked up to them and asked, "What are you two talking about?"

"We're discussing the case." Bai Mengfei looked up at him. "Have you made any new discoveries?"

"Aside from that discovery, there haven't been any other new findings so far," Xiang Yuntian said as he sat down. He continued, "However, I have another idea. I think the murderer might be deliberately misleading the police investigation. What do you think?"

Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, agreeing, "That is indeed a possibility."

Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath, then said, "And..."

"What else?" Bai Mengfei asked, puzzled.

Xiang Yuntian frowned, lowered his head and pondered for a moment before continuing, "I feel that the murderer's target seems to be our forensic doctors, rather than the members of the criminal investigation team."

"Why do you think that?" Bai Mengfei pressed.

Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment and explained, "Because I think he did a lot of things to the corpse."

Bai Mengfei closed her eyes, thought carefully for a moment, and then frowned and asked, "If, according to your idea, the clues provided on the bodies are unreliable, then what is the real cause of death for these two victims?"

“Not all clues are useless. The cause of death of the deceased is very clear, it is because of those similar wounds.” Xiang Yuntian said, scratching his hair in frustration. “What I want to say is that the wounds are still the cause of their death, but the murderer may have tampered with these real circumstances, and fabricated and embellished them. For example, perhaps after the deceased died, he stabbed them many more times.”

"However, the tightness of the skin around the wound is consistent with the number of times the victim was stabbed."

As soon as Bai Mengfei finished speaking, Wang Tian couldn't help but interject, "Are you saying that the deceased only had one wound, but was stabbed many times?"

“That’s right,” Bai Mengfei replied confidently.

Wang Tian said, "I once saw a movie where the male lead was stabbed many times in the same spot. He was being held hostage, so he didn't dare to move."

Bai Mengfei thought about this line of thought for a moment, then looked up at Xiang Yuntian and said, "Could it be that there was a third party present at the time?"

“That’s possible.” Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly.

Bai Mengfei continued her analysis: "Perhaps the murderer didn't intend to kill the two victims, but rather to use them to threaten the third party, resulting in them bleeding to death?"

Xiang Yuntian, however, had a different opinion. He said, "But we didn't find any marks like ligatures on the deceased. Under normal circumstances, they should have resisted. If their hands and feet were bound, they would have struggled to some extent after feeling the pain, and corresponding marks would have been left on the body."

Wang Tian added, "I've also seen another movie about a mother who remained silent while being assaulted in front of her child. So could it be for similar reasons that even if they aren't tied up, they don't resist or make a sound until they die?"

Bai Mengfei frowned, looked at Xiang Yuntian, and asked, "What do you think?"

After considering various factors, Xiang Yuntian said, "Perhaps this is the only possibility. Since there are no external objective factors to restrain them, it can only be subjective factors that prevented them from resisting. But what about the needles in their mouths?"

“A colleague just told me that there’s an acupoint on the gum outside that spot called Yinjiao acupoint, which is on the Governing Vessel and is the last acupoint on the Governing Vessel. I wonder if the spot where those two needles were placed in the mouth is related to this acupoint?” Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian clicked his tongue lightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Perhaps there is a connection."

Wang Tian then offered a constructive idea, saying, "I once saw a movie where there was a scene where people were tortured with needles."

Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei both felt that this was very likely, and they exchanged a glance.

Bai Mengfei turned to look at Wang Tian and said with a smile, "You've seen quite a lot of movies, and quite a few of them actually contain clues that can help us solve this mystery."

"Yes," Wang Tian replied with a smile.

Xiang Yuntian synthesized the three lines of thought Wang Tian mentioned, secretly snapped his fingers, and said, "It seems that the truth is gradually becoming clearer. There were probably more than just the two victims and the murderer present at the time; there were likely others as well."

Bai Mengfei suddenly thought of Lian Zheng, who had appeared out of nowhere and had a tough attitude, and asked, "Was Lian Zheng also there at the time?"

“That’s a possibility.” Xiang Yuntian recalled the crime scene. “Anyway, I’ve always felt that this matter is related to Lian Zheng. Otherwise, why would those two notorious thieves happen to be at his old house? Besides, we’ve thoroughly checked that place, and there’s nothing of value there.”

Bai Mengfei suddenly realized and said, "I understand! He was so nervous back then, and you even said there might be treasure hidden there. Actually, he wasn't worried about us finding the treasure he hid, but rather that we would discover evidence linking him to the case, right?"
