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

Chapter 453 Dead

The man was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat, but a clean sweater, which made it clear that he came from outside.

He stood on the wooden plank, scanned his surroundings, and then walked toward the house with the light shining through.

He slowly ascended the steps, simultaneously pulling a retractable knife from his pocket. The blade gleamed coldly in the reflection of the water, appearing particularly eerie in the dark night.

Xiang Yuntian keenly heard the footsteps and rushed over, waking Bai Mengfei up first.

Bai Mengfei had already heard it. She immediately opened her eyes and quietly got up. She looked back at Xiang Yuntian and mouthed, "Wake them up."

Xiang Yuntian nodded gently, then woke up Han Xue and Miao Xiaoxiao respectively, and made a "shh" gesture to them.

"Knock knock knock!"

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Bai Mengfei looked up and asked, "Who is it?"

There was no response from outside the door. Bai Mengfei stood up, preparing to go and check. Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly rushed over to stop her, whispering, "Let me go."

Bai Mengfei knew that even if she was injured, it wouldn't matter, and there were some things she had to face personally, so she gently pushed Xiang Yuntian aside and walked towards the door.

Before she even got close to the door, she heard a voice: "Who are you?" It was Lao Yu's voice.

Hearing the noise, the man at the door immediately turned around. Upon seeing Lao Yu, he quickly took out a ghost mask from inside his clothes, put it on, and then, gripping his knife, charged towards Lao Yu.

"Playing tricks!" Old Yu roared, then grabbed a large log from the wall and charged forward. "How dare you come here to cause trouble!"

However, when the two approached, the piece of wood in Lao Yu's hand did not hit the man.

The man nimbly turned around, easily dodging the wooden attack, and at the same time used the knife in his hand to slash Lao Yu's arm.

Old Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm, and quickly pressed his hand to the wound, his brows furrowing tightly. The piece of wood he had been holding fell heavily to the ground with a thud.

Bai Mengfei and the others opened the door and ran out upon hearing the noise.

Upon seeing them, the man quickly covered his mask with his hand and turned to flee.

Seeing that Lao Yu's arm was bleeding profusely, Bai Mengfei and the others rushed forward to inquire about the situation with concern.

Old Yu endured the pain and said he was fine, but blood continued to gush out. Xiang Yuntian hurriedly got some madder root from Miao Xiaoxiao and applied it to Old Yu's wound, saying apologetically, "I'm sorry, we shouldn't have doubted you before."

"It's alright. After all, when you're out in the world, you can't be too careful," Old Yu said understandingly.

Xiang Yuntian nodded secretly, and then, with Bai Mengfei's help, helped Lao Yu back to his room to rest.

As soon as he entered the room, Lao Yu lay down immediately.

Bai Mengfei noticed a photograph on the bedside table. It was a picture of Lao Yu and a woman, presumably his wife.

Bai Mengfei suddenly felt that the woman looked familiar, and she tried to recall what she had seen. After some thought, she finally remembered: three or four years ago, she had handled a case that was related to this woman.

At the time, a man died, and the autopsy report showed that the DNA on the deceased matched that of this woman perfectly. Later, it was said that a man named Du Shangwu came forward to take the blame for her, and then the two of them actually ran away together.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei immediately turned to look at Lao Yu and asked, "Is your name Du Shangwu?"

Old Yu, who had been lying on the bed panting, immediately opened his eyes, looked at Bai Mengfei, and asked, "What do you know?"

“Three or four years ago, you came out and confessed to killing someone, but later you and your accomplices escaped.”

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Lao Yu immediately sat up in bed and argued, "I didn't kill anyone! My wife and I were framed!"

"Injustice?" Bai Mengfei thought to herself that her test results couldn't be wrong. "How could I have wronged you?"

Old Yu sighed deeply and said, “My wife did accidentally kill the man, but they treated her as the murderer, claiming it was premeditated murder. In reality, my wife was acting in self-defense; the deceased had malicious intentions towards her. But later, the deceased's family bribed judicial personnel, distorted the truth, and even misrepresented the facts in the news, causing us to be condemned by the public. I had no choice but to confess that I killed him. Later, a policeman learned the truth and helped us escape, which is why we ended up here.”

Bai Mengfei suddenly realized and said, "So that's the truth."

"Sigh!" Old Yu sighed softly, full of helplessness. "Unfortunately, we couldn't escape the tricks of fate. Not long after we arrived here, my wife became depressed because of that incident. In the end, she couldn't resolve her inner conflict and passed away. I knew this was the happiest place in her life, and I believed her soul would remain here, so I stayed too."

At this moment, Lao Yu's wound started bleeding again.

Seeing that the madder seemed to have no effect, Xiang Yuntian immediately reached out and covered his wound, saying, "Old Yu, don't talk for now, your condition isn't good. Do you have any gauze or anything like that?"

Yes, it's in the drawer.

Bai Mengfei immediately stepped forward and said anxiously, "It seems that the tendons and veins have been injured."

Han Xue couldn't help but say, "The murderer was too vicious; they really went all out."

Old Yu slowly shook his head and said, "Forget it, he came prepared. But I think he won't come again tonight. It's almost dawn, so stay here a little longer. When it gets light, I'll have someone take you away by boat."

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian had already brought gauze and carefully bandaged Lao Yu's wound, saying, "Thank you."

"No need to be so polite, we're all in the same boat anyway," Old Yu said.

The next day, the rain subsided, and the merchant ship arrived on time. Lao Yu asked someone to send Bai Mengfei and the other three back.

As soon as the four men boarded the boat and left, Lao Yu turned around and saw the man wearing the ghost mask appear behind him. Lao Yu seemed to know that he was in deep trouble, but he calmly stepped forward and said, "I've already sent the man away. If you have any grudges, you can come to me directly to settle them."

The man immediately stepped forward and pulled out a knife.

Knowing he was no match for the man, Lao Yu offered no resistance, allowing the man to slit his throat with a knife. After Lao Yu died, the man squatted down and began dismembering his body with sharp stones.

After a bumpy journey, Bai Mengfei finally returned to the police station.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei immediately sent men to the island. There, they discovered Li Yin's body.
