"Are you talking to me?"

Bai Mengfei seemed to have just come out of her reverie. She paused for a moment before slowly turning her head.

Her thoughts remained immersed in this bizarre case. Somehow, she had a vague feeling that this case seemed to be intricately connected to the one she had experienced.

However, this feeling is hard to describe precisely; it seems to be just a woman's unique intuition.

She weighed the options in her mind for a moment, then slowly said, "Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so I think it's unlikely. However, based on the principles of investigation, we can't rule out suspicion outright."

Xiang Yuntian shared the same sentiment, a faint smile appearing on his face as he nodded in agreement.

After the two followed the police to the police station, the cleaning lady, seeing that Xiang Yuntian seemed to have a certain status in the police station, pleaded with him for help with a sorrowful expression.

Xiang Yuntian, who was always soft-hearted, couldn't bear to see such a scene, and immediately agreed: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will investigate this case carefully and will definitely not let the murderer get away."

Bai Mengfei also rushed forward and, together with Xiang Yuntian, helped the cleaning lady up, promising firmly, "Yes, we will definitely find out the results and let you know as soon as possible."

Subsequently, the cleaning lady was taken away by other police officers for investigation, and Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian exchanged a glance.

"What are your thoughts on this case?" Xiang Yuntian asked Bai Mengfei for her opinion again.

After a moment's thought, Bai Mengfei said, "We have too few clues right now. If we want to learn more, it would be best to conduct an autopsy first."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian immediately approached Zhao Fei without saying a word: "Captain Zhao, I'd like to go and see the body, is that alright?"

Zhao Fei naturally understood Xiang Yuntian's thoughts, and he also knew that Xiang Yuntian had always liked Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei's expertise in autopsy is unparalleled in China.

In order to win favor, Yun Tian put a lot of effort into the autopsy, and his talent in this area should not be underestimated.

Without much thought, Zhao Fei contacted his superiors directly and got his application approved.

However, just as Xiang Yuntian was about to take Bai Mengfei to the morgue, Zhao Fei rushed over and stopped them.

"Holy crap, you're not planning to take her with you to the autopsy, are you?"

Xiang Yuntian frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "What, is it not allowed?"

Bai Mengfei also looked up at Zhao Fei with a suspicious expression.

It should be noted that Zhao Fei had never stopped them when they were looking at the corpses before.

Zhao Fei took a deep breath, pulled Xiang Yuntian to his side, and lowered his voice to ask, "Are you sure?"

"What's wrong? I think everything's fine." Xiang Yuntian stared at Zhao Fei's anxious expression, his heart filled with doubt, unable to guess what he was thinking at this moment.

After all, he knew that the person beside him was Bai Mengfei, even though Zhao Fei was unaware of it. With Bai Mengfei's help, the success rate of solving the case would increase significantly.

"You really are like an older brother to me."

Zhao Fei sighed helplessly: "Please, this is an autopsy. And I seriously doubt this girl's background. Don't try to fool me, or I won't be able to protect you if something goes wrong."

Xiang Yuntian shrugged casually, "I've told you so many times, this is my childhood sweetheart. Although it's not appropriate for her to bring her family, I guarantee there won't be any problems."

"Tong my foot!" Zhao Fei said, somewhat annoyed. "I don't care. You can go alone for the autopsy. But I won't approve bringing her."

Xiang Yuntian frowned slightly.

Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he leaned closer to Zhao Fei and whispered, "I won't lie to you. This girl is actually very talented in autopsy work, she's incredibly smart. If you want to solve a case, you might really need her help. I'm doing this for your benefit, since we've known each other the longest."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei's heart stirred.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian knew that things were basically settled.

Police officers, especially criminal investigators, face immense pressure when dealing with homicide cases.

When it comes to murder cases, the higher-ups often say just four words: "Murder cases must be investigated."

If we were to add four more words, it would be: the faster the better.

If you can master these eight words, promotion is practically guaranteed; if you can't... well, your future prospects will be much narrower.

As expected, Zhao Fei thought for a moment and then agreed.

……

Soon, the two arrived at the morgue.

As soon as I stepped into the room, a bone-chilling cold hit me, as if it would freeze me from head to toe.

Bai Mengfei was already used to this feeling, and even found a trace of familiarity in it.

They approached the body, and Bai Mengfei put on the slightly oversized white gloves and slowly picked up the familiar scalpel.

Looking at the cold, sharp light emanating from the blade, and her reflection in the mirror-like surface, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but feel a pang of regret that things had changed.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

Xiang Yuntian watched her quietly from the side, his focused and serious expression making it seem as if everything around him had ceased to exist.

Although the little face in front of me has changed, the serious and focused expression is no different from before.

Xiang Yuntian gazed at her with deep affection, not even glancing at the corpse beside him.

Before Bai Mengfei even began dissecting the body, she carefully examined it for a few moments before saying, "There are scrapes around the ankles of the body, and the blood has congealed on the surface. This is probably due to the scraping caused when the body was dragged after death. Please make a note of this."

After speaking, she subconsciously turned her head and gave Xiang Yuntian a slightly apologetic smile, which had become a habit of hers.

Xiang Yuntian shrugged helplessly and returned a warm smile.

After exchanging a knowing smile, Bai Mengfei began to dissect the corpse.

A sharp scalpel gently sliced ​​through the skin, making an incision, and revealed that drug residue remained in the deceased's stomach.

"What are these white substances?" Xiang Yuntian asked, raising his right hand and slightly covering his nose.

The cold air from the air conditioner swirled around Bai Mengfei, making her feel a chill.

"At present, these are likely the ingredients of a date rape drug. The killer's initial intention may not have been to kill the victim. However, judging from the way the body was disposed of, this killer is definitely not a first-time offender, but a habitual offender. The whole process was handled too perfectly."

As she spoke, Bai Mengfei slowly paced around the corpse, carefully observing it from various angles.

Xiang Yuntian crossed his arms, pondered for a moment, and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, just like a crime scene, it has been carefully handled."

“That’s right!” Bai Mengfei replied affirmatively.

Just then, a forensic doctor pushed open the door and put on white gloves as he walked in.

When she saw that the body she was responsible for had been disturbed, her eyes widened in shock. "Who...who are you? What are you doing?!"

Her face was full of anger.

Bai Mengfei did not know the forensic doctor and guessed that she must have come to work at the police station after her death.

Upon seeing the autopsy, the forensic pathologist was initially furious and about to explode. However, after carefully examining the incisions and various details, she discovered that the procedures were actually performed better than her own, and she swallowed back the words of reprimand that were on the tip of her tongue.

She paused for several seconds, then asked, "Who did this?"

As she spoke, she subconsciously turned her gaze to Xiang Yuntian.

In her eyes, Bai Mengfei was just a child. Not to mention that a child could never do such a thing, even if he did, it would never be so perfect.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the effort she put into her studies at university have been wasted?

Therefore, she naturally assumed that all of this was done by Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head.

Seeing this, Bai Mengfei quickly pinched his waist secretly.

Xiang Yuntian then realized what had happened and hurriedly admitted with a serious expression, "Yes, I did it."

The newly arrived female forensic pathologist immediately frowned, stepped forward, and demanded, "On what grounds? Although you are very capable in the police station, do you have the authority to perform an autopsy without authorization?"
