After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

Because he was in too much of a hurry, Ye Bai hadn't observed things very carefully.

Only then did they notice a faint bluish-black tinge between the corpse's eyebrows.

Of course, it's also because this corpse must have been a keen athlete in life, which explains its naturally darker skin tone.

Only someone with Ye Bai's exceptional eyesight could detect that slight anomaly.

For an ordinary person, they probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference at all.

"Isn't this suicide?"

Ye Bai's expression turned solemn as he gently lifted the corpse's eyelids.

"really!"

Ye Bai felt a chill run down his spine, and his expression began to change rapidly.

"Where are the people?"

At that moment, a series of hurried footsteps sounded, accompanied by anxious inquiries.

Then, a group of people rushed over, including many police officers in uniform and doctors in white coats.

"Principal Chen, the person is here."

Ye Bai spotted Chen Yizhen immediately and quickly greeted him.

It seems his guess was correct; the school called the police immediately, so he didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Teacher Ye, what is going on?"

Chen Yizhen walked quickly to Ye Bai, and almost tripped because he was too nervous and angry.

The sudden death of a student at a school is definitely not a trivial matter.

At best, it's a dereliction of duty on the part of the school leaders. At worst, it will severely damage the reputation of Jingzhou Medical College!

Ye Bai naturally wouldn't hide anything and explained the situation in detail.

He didn't say anything about the cause of death of the body.

Not only has he never liked being high-profile, but more importantly, what kind of place is this?

Jingzhou Medical School, the highest institution of learning, has no shortage of highly skilled medical professionals.

"How can young people these days be so careless about valuing their lives! How old are they to choose to end their own lives? What obstacle in this world can't be overcome?"

Chen Yizhen was both angry and heartbroken; he almost pulled out his beard.

"Teacher Jiang, why did you suddenly come here? And how did you discover the body?"

After questioning Ye Bai, Chen Yizhen led the police to Jiang Nuai and began to question her.

After all, the female teacher was the first witness; Ye Bai only rushed in after hearing the commotion.

"I...I planted a few...a few herbs here, and I came to check on them today...but I didn't expect..."

Jiang Nuai stammered, her voice even more pitifully soft, her fingers constantly rubbing the hem of her clothes, and sweat was already beginning to appear on her fair and smooth forehead.

This female teacher clearly belongs to the typical socially anxious type. Whenever there are many people and everyone is looking at her, she becomes extremely nervous and doesn't even dare to lift her head.

Fortunately, his pronunciation was still clear and his speech was not incoherent. After listening for a while, I roughly figured out the reason.

In short, Jiang Nuai came here to check on her herbs, only to find someone hanging themselves. She screamed in fright, which attracted Ye Bai's attention.

As for why medicinal herbs were planted in the grove, Vice Principal Chen Yizhen gave the answer with a wry smile, without even needing Jiang Nuai to explain.

This is a characteristic of the Chinese herbal medicine major; whether it's teachers or professors, they all like to grow some herbs themselves.

The locations where they are planted are also quite varied.

Some are planted in flowerpots in offices or dormitories, some in flower beds in front of office buildings, and some even on roadsides or rooftops.

Some even plant them inside the blankets, claiming it's for maintaining a comfortable temperature...

Most doctors who work in hospitals are pretty normal, but the professors in medical schools who spend all their time researching theoretical medical techniques are more or less eccentric.

Planting ginger and mugwort in a small grove is considered the most normal type.

The police officers naturally wouldn't comment on the medical school professors' bizarre behavior. After asking their questions, they basically ruled out Ye Bai and Jiang Nuai as suspects.

Based on the current situation, this should be a suicide by hanging, and the case is not complicated.

The reason for the suicide attempt is currently unclear.

"Principal Chen, I have a different opinion..."

Ye Bai walked to Chen Yizhen's side and said in a low voice.

If no one noticed anything unusual, that would be fine. But now that he had, Ye Bai certainly wouldn't hide it.

He had assumed that the medical school professors would go with the forensic pathologist to perform autopsies, but he was clearly mistaken.

These professors certainly had a strong interest in medicine, but corpses were clearly not within their scope.

So, having no other choice, Ye Bai could only offer a word of advice.

While it is true that the dead cannot be brought back to life, suicide and homicide are two completely different concepts.

Especially since this is a school, if the real culprit isn't found, it means all the students are in danger.

"Professor Ye, have you been watching too many suspense dramas? Do you think you're better than the police's forensic doctors?"

As soon as Ye Bai said that the male student was likely murdered, someone couldn't help but sneer.

Surprisingly, he was someone I could barely call an acquaintance: Du Zhongjing, the head of the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Director Du's serious face was now filled with sarcasm, clearly feeling that Ye Bai was indulging in wishful thinking and talking nonsense.

For some reason, he disliked Ye Bai from the moment he saw him.

Perhaps it was because the other person got into the school through connections, or perhaps it was because the other person was too young but was called a master of traditional Chinese medicine by Chen Yizhen. Whatever the reason, Du Zhongjing just didn't think much of the other person.

"Old Du, you can't say that. Young people these days are amazing, incredibly capable! Teacher Ye might really be talented, otherwise how could he come to teach at our school!"

A middle-aged man in his forties wearing glasses laughed strangely upon hearing this, his tone sarcastic.

"Hua Zhenghao, who are you insulting? What business is it of yours if Teacher Ye comes here to work?"

"And Director Du, don't forget, Teacher Ye is also a student of Traditional Chinese Medicine!"

Before Ye Bai could speak, Song Fuling couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glare angrily at the middle-aged man.

Now that Ye Bai is considered her teacher, she naturally can't just stand by and watch these guys bully the newcomer.

"So this guy is the head of the Clinical Medicine Department..."

Hearing Song Fuling call out the other person's name, Ye Bai finally realized.

While eating lunch in the cafeteria, Song Fuling gave him a brief introduction to the list of professors who would be listening to his trial lecture; they were mostly department heads from various disciplines.

Hua Zhenghao was among them, and quite high up in the list.

Not only is clinical medicine the most popular major in medical school with the best employment prospects, but also because this Director Hua is said to come from a family of doctors, and his ancestor was the legendary doctor named "Hua Tuo"!

This is why Hua Zhenghao developed an arrogant personality, and he hardly respected anyone except the principal.

According to Song Fuling, the two toughest challenges for Ye Bai to pass his trial lecture were Du Zhongjing and Hua Zhenghao.

If both of them refuse to approve, Ye Bai will likely not obtain the qualification to teach...
