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

Chapter 325 Congenital Diseases

After all, the thoughts of murderers are often difficult for ordinary people to fathom.

Some may have had pre-existing psychological issues, while others may have had emotional problems. In any case, the motives of such deep-thinking murderers are often more worthy of scrutiny.

After a long period of questioning and understanding, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian finally stood up and bid farewell to the uncle.

As they were preparing to drive back to the police station, the older man approached Bai Mengfei and pleaded, "I hope you can find the murderer and solve this case as soon as possible. That kid is so young, only 17 years old. What could he have done wrong?"

Those last few words were like a sharp blade, piercing Bai Mengfei's seemingly strong heart.

Indeed, how could a 17-year-old boy, even if he had made a mistake, be guilty of a crime punishable by death? Moreover, he had neither committed murder nor arson, and his usual conduct was quite good.

So Bai Mengfei agreed to the uncle's request, saying, "Yes, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly so that Jiang Xia can rest in peace in the afterlife."

As they left, in the car, Bai Mengfei kept turning her head to look out the window, her right hand supporting her cheek. In Xiang Yuntian's eyes, she looked somewhat haggard and lost.

Xiang Yuntian was naturally very concerned and asked, "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's voice, Bai Mengfei seemed to snap out of her reverie, smiled slightly, and said, "It's alright for now."

Xiang Yuntian said "Oh", then pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said with a smile, "That's good. Actually, don't think too much about it. After all, it's just a case. And you've often told me before that you can't let too much personal emotion get in the way when solving a case, otherwise it's easy to act on emotion and affect the investigation and your own rational judgment."

These were indeed words Bai Mengfei had often said to him in the past. Bai Mengfei never expected that Xiang Yuntian would now be able to comfort her with the very words she had once spoken.

Therefore, Bai Mengfei smiled, a smile as beautiful and moving as the blooming of a night-blooming cereus, yet fleeting in an instant.

After a slight smile, Bai Mengfei's expression became gentle and profound again.

She raised her left hand, signaling Xiang Yuntian to stop trying to persuade her, and said, "Things aren't what you think, it's not that simple. Nothing in this world is absolute, and there are always situations that we need to treat differently."

"Can you give me a reason?" Xiang Yuntian asked with a soft laugh.

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then nodded and replied, "The reason is simple. The reason is that what we are doing now is not just forensic work, but also involves criminal investigation, so we can't be so cold and indifferent."

"Just because our jobs are different?"

"It's because of the different nature of the work. Criminal investigation work requires a deeper understanding of the killer's mind. As the saying goes, you have to persuade people with reason and move them with emotion. So we must invest our own feelings and emotions in order to put ourselves in their shoes and understand the killer's thoughts."

"Hmm, that makes sense." Xiang Yuntian rarely agreed with Bai Mengfei's point of view.

However, Bai Mengfei wasn't particularly happy about Xiang Yuntian's approval; she merely smiled slightly. In her view, it was quite normal for Xiang Yuntian to agree with her opinions, given his consistent support.

Wang Tian, ​​sitting in the back, seemed like a soulless puppet. Her bright eyes were fixed on the receding scenery outside the window.

Watching the scenery rush by, she frowned, looking preoccupied.

Bai Mengfei inadvertently noticed the expression on her face and sensed that she had something on her mind.

However, even girls themselves find it hard to understand what's on a girl's mind, so Bai Mengfei simply kept it to herself, neither guessing nor revealing it.

After the three returned to the police station, they were preparing to retrieve the information from Jiang Xia's case for reinvestigation when Zhao Fei suddenly walked over.

"The three of you are finally back." It seems that Zhao Fei has come looking for them more than once.

Bai Mengfei was looking at the documents in her hand when she saw Zhao Fei walking over. She gently put down the documents and turned to look at Zhao Fei.

"Captain Zhao, what can I do for you?" Bai Mengfei asked softly.

Zhao Fei hurried over, pulled her aside, and then lowered his voice to say, "The higher-ups are putting pressure on us again. There are just too many cases lately, and I can't keep up."

"The higher-ups should understand!" Bai Mengfei said.

Zhao Fei shook his head and said, "But our police station's case-solving record isn't very good right now. Apart from the few major cases you helped solve before, the cases we're solving now are all trivial matters."

Bai Mengfei smiled calmly and said, "Then let nature take its course."

Zhao Fei, however, was extremely agitated, repeatedly raising his left hand and resting his forehead on his palm. It was clear that he was very agitated and even somewhat confused.

Bai Mengfei then changed the subject, asking, "By the way, Captain Zhao, did you go to the hospital for a checkup? How are you feeling?"

"Huh?" Zhao Fei looked up at her. "It's nothing serious. The doctor said to take some medicine and get plenty of rest."

Bai Mengfei nodded gently, hummed in agreement, and said, "That's good."

After speaking, she turned to look at Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian, ​​because she was eager to help them with their investigation. With her assistance, the case would progress much faster.

After all, her work efficiency far exceeded the combined efficiency of Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian.

When Xiang Yuntian saw her looking over, he said to her, "Forensic Doctor Zhang, come here for a moment, I've found something suspicious." After saying that, Xiang Yuntian quickly flipped through the files.

He must have noticed this suspicious point before, but he didn't want to disturb Zhao Fei when he was talking to Bai Mengfei, so he didn't mention it earlier.

Hearing that there might be a breakthrough in the case, Bai Mengfei hurriedly went over to check. Her gaze followed Xiang Yuntian's finger, quickly scanning between the lines.

"Jiang Xia actually has a congenital disease?" Bai Mengfei muttered softly.

At this moment, Wang Tian was standing not far behind her. Upon hearing what she said, he immediately turned his gaze towards her, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction.

She felt that Zhang Ting was not very old, yet she called 17-year-old Jiang Xia a child, and thought that Zhang Ting was too presumptuous.
