Chapter 388 Abnormal Data
Bai Mengfei quickly turned her head to look at Zhao Fei, her direct gaze making Zhao Fei feel a little embarrassed.
"Hey, why are you staring at me like that? If you like looking at me like that, you might as well go see Forensic Doctor Xiang! At least he's young and has good skin!" After saying that, Zhao Fei laughed to himself.
"Captain Zhao, what are you saying?" Xiang Yuntian's face turned as red as if he had been drinking.
Suddenly, Bai Mengfei spoke up: "I just remembered something!"
Seeing Bai Mengfei's serious expression, Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian asked in unison, "What is it?"
Bai Mengfei gently bit her chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Is it possible that those two people killed each other in the secret room? Have you checked the medical history of these two victims? Perhaps one of them is mentally ill."
"Impossible!" Xiang Yuntian retorted. "Shengyang said that before entering the secret room, they made the players hand over items such as their cell phones, let alone allow them to bring in knives, right?"
"That's true." Bai Mengfei nodded gently, her face still showing a thoughtful expression.
Bai Mengfei didn't eat much during the meal because she was thinking about the case the whole time.
Xiang Yuntian saw this and felt a little awkward, but he was too embarrassed to say anything, let alone disturb her.
After finishing their meal, Zhao Fei left first, and Xiang Yuntian then advised him, "Don't push yourself so hard. This case is already very bizarre."
"Let's go back to the morgue," Bai Mengfei said decisively.
Xiang Yuntian didn't dare to delay and quickly acted as her driver again, taking her back to the police station's morgue.
Upon their arrival, Bai Mengfei immediately lifted the white sheet covering the deceased. It was a male corpse with multiple obvious wounds, clearly inflicted by a sharp weapon.
Bai Mengfei stood aside, carefully examined the wound, and then asked Xiang Yuntian, "Can you tell what caused this injury?"
Xiang Yuntian shook his head inwardly and said, "The wound is strange, like it was inflicted by a double-edged sword or something. But the detectives didn't find the murder weapon at the crime scene."
Bai Mengfei immediately made a judgment: "Besides the two of them, were there any other people entering or leaving the secret room at that time? Did Shengyang see them?"
Xiang Yuntian had just finished eating. Looking at the corpse and smelling that stench, he felt nauseous and tried to avoid looking at it. He replied, "Shengyang said he didn't see anyone else enter the secret room. They had been monitoring it with surveillance cameras, but the cameras suddenly broke down when the incident happened."
"Did they go to check immediately after that?" Bai Mengfei straightened up and turned to look at Xiang Yuntian to ask.
Xiang Yuntian replied, "No! At the time, they thought it was a normal situation, so they didn't disturb the people inside." At this point, Xiang Yuntian seemed to suddenly remember something important and added, "Oh, right, there's something else very strange!"
"what's up?"
“Shengyang said that the soundproofing there wasn’t very good. Although the escape room was on the second floor, they usually stayed on the first floor, but they could still hear players scream. However, when the incident happened, they didn’t hear any screams or similar sounds.”
Bai Mengfei hummed in agreement, then asked, "Has his blood been tested? His blood might contain some kind of toxin or sedative. The killer might have drugged him first, and then..."
Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly began the blood test.
Because he was unable to find the deceased's relatives, the final autopsy had not yet been conducted, and the blood samples had not been tested.
He believed that dissecting the body was the key to solving the case.
Just as he was getting his blood tested, Bai Mengfei said she had to leave first, but didn't say what she was going to do. He was busy with work and couldn't keep up, so he could only tell Bai Mengfei to be careful.
After Bai Mengfei left, she did not go to Zhao Fei's office, but went to another destination.
She now has two goals. The first is the hospital, where she wants to see the injured woman who is almost in a vegetative state. The second is the real-life escape room.
Because she felt that the secret room might not be so simple, and that the owner of the secret room, Shengyang, might be hiding something.
After rushing to the hospital, Bai Mengfei, in her capacity as a forensic doctor, contacted the female victim's attending physician.
The injured woman's name is Yingmei, and she is a third-year student at a local university. Her parents are both alive and are currently taking turns caring for her at the hospital, hoping that she will wake up soon.
After speaking with Yingmei's attending physician, Bai Mengfei learned that the probability of Yingmei waking up was actually very low. Furthermore, they detected scopolamine in Yingmei's body.
Bai Mengfei knew about this substance and was aware of its hallucinogenic effects. She had come into contact with it during a previous case.
I never imagined that after so long, people would still be using this drug to commit crimes.
She glanced at Yingmei discreetly before leaving the hospital.
Afterwards, she took a taxi back to the escape room. Since they had met before, Shengyang was quite welcoming to her.
"Have you ever designed any devices here to create fog or similar illusions?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Yang actually answered: "Yes, to create a scary atmosphere, some white smoke is injected into that cabinet, but that's just dry ice used to create stage effects."
"Can I take some back to be tested? Just the ones that are still left in the cabinet."
Sheng Yang immediately frowned and asked, "That's a gas, can we test it?"
"can."
Subsequently, Bai Mengfei brought the gases and her findings back to the police station and decided to have the gases tested.
But when the results came out, Bai Mengfei was somewhat surprised; it was indeed just ordinary dry ice.
As for the results Xiang Yuntian obtained, they also puzzled Bai Mengfei.
The blood of the male victim, Li Zhijie, showed all normal indicators and no scopolamine was detected.
After reading the report, Bai Mengfei stood beside Li Zhijie's body, arms crossed, looking at the corpse with a puzzled expression, and said, "Why did his girlfriend have this alkaline component in her body, but he didn't?"
Xiang Yuntian also frowned, equally puzzled.
After thinking for a while, he had to suggest to Bai Mengfei, "How about I go back to the identification center and give these materials to my colleagues in the toxicology department? Let's see if they have any new discoveries, such as whether these toxins could have been purified after Li Zhijie's death?"
