Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei believed that what Hu said was true, since the footage recorded by the surveillance camera was indeed like that.

Xiang Yuntian nodded in agreement.

So, the two of them waited until Zhao Fei's interrogation was over before going to see him.

When Zhao Fei saw that the two of them were still waiting, he couldn't help but gasp.

“He didn’t confess to anything.” Zhao Fei still believed that Hu Shuo had killed someone. “The man has been released, but we have arranged for colleagues to keep an eye on him. It’s quite late, you two should go back and rest. Especially the child, who is still growing, needs to maintain a normal routine.”

"No need!" Bai Mengfei immediately retorted decisively.

Fortunately, I reacted in time and almost exposed my identity.

Xiang Yuntian quickly chimed in, "Yes, we'll head back now."

As he spoke, he gently pushed Bai Mengfei with both hands.

Pushed by Xiang Yuntian, Bai Mengfei reluctantly walked forward.

Why was she unwilling?

Bai Mengfei had an idea at this moment: she hoped to find out the truth by dissecting the corpse.

After the two got into the car, Bai Mengfei asked, "Why didn't you suggest an autopsy just now? That would have helped us find out the truth much faster."

Sensing the displeasure in Bai Mengfei's tone, Xiang Yuntian quickly explained gently, "I was just worried that your identity would be exposed. You know the consequences if Captain Zhao finds out."

Xiang Yuntian's explanation made sense, so Bai Mengfei accepted it.

However, Bai Mengfei was still somewhat unwilling and remained sullen throughout the journey.

Xiang Yuntian saw all of this and silently kept it in his heart.

Back at his residence, Xiang Yuntian assured Bai Mengfei, "I will talk to Captain Zhao about this tomorrow and try my best to succeed."

Bai Mengfei simply replied softly, "Okay."

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian thought of something else: "Actually, I think if you want to conceal your identity now, the best thing to do is go back to school."

Bai Mengfei began to have doubts, after all, for her, this was indeed a waste of time.

So, in the latter half of the night, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Was it really worth it? After much thought and weighing the pros and cons, she finally agreed.

But she made one condition: that the case be resolved first.

The next morning, Bai Mengfei said to Xiang Yuntian, "I've thought about what you mentioned last night about me going back to school. I'll go once this matter is over."

Xiang Yuntian had no doubt about Bai Mengfei's anatomical abilities and said with a smile, "Well, it's settled then."

Upon arriving at the police station early in the morning and meeting Zhao Fei, Xiang Yuntian immediately brought up the matter of dissecting the corpse.

Zhao Fei looked troubled.

Although the circumstances of the deceased seem to suggest homicide, it is also highly possible that he died accidentally due to an electrical leak.

After all, the forensic doctor had already conducted a preliminary examination yesterday and determined that the deceased died from electrocution.

Therefore, it is indeed inconvenient for Xiang Yuntian to start the investigation from the corpse.

To persuade Xiang Yuntian, Zhao Fei added, "Now that the situation is basically settled, you shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore."

"After all, the bureau now has a newly arrived forensic doctor in charge of the work, so your current focus should not be on this."

Having just made a promise to Bai Mengfei this morning, Xiang Yuntian also hardened his attitude towards Zhao Fei: "If you don't agree, then I won't get involved in this case."

This is no small matter!

Bai Mengfei quickly raised her small hand from behind and gently tugged at Xiang Yuntian's clothes.

Xiang Yuntian sensed it, but didn't turn around; he simply stared quietly at Zhao Fei.

Under Xiang Yuntian's sharp gaze, Zhao Fei finally had no choice but to compromise.

"I'm really impressed by you, kid!"

“But I’ll give you half an hour, and you can’t perform any autopsy on the body. Understand?” Zhao Fei conceded.

"Okay." Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to agree.

Xiang Yuntian led Bai Mengfei to the morgue. Bai Mengfei picked up the pliers, gently pinched and tore off a bit of the charred skin.

After being examined on the equipment, it was found that it was indeed caused by electric shock, but the actual cause of death is still unclear.

She didn't believe the findings of those new forensic experts.

After all, while a corpse can convey information, it depends on who interprets it.

Those newly arrived forensic doctors lack work experience and are easily misled by appearances.

Bai Mengfei observed the object under the microscope for nearly ten minutes before she finished.

From this, she deduced a key clue: "The actual time of death and the recorded time of death should not be consistent."

Xiang Yuntian immediately felt strange and stepped forward to ask, "How do you know the recorded time of death?"

“From what Captain Zhao just said, he didn’t mention this point, so I can guess it.” Bai Mengfei was full of confidence, which was confidence in her own abilities.

"Think about it, we just suspected it was a hoax, which means it must have happened yesterday, right?"

"Yes."

Xiang Yuntian thought about it carefully for a moment, then nodded slightly and said affirmatively, "It should have happened after lunch yesterday. What happened?"

Bai Mengfei pursed her lips, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said, "But this person should have died the day before yesterday."

"Oh." Xiang Yuntian believed Bai Mengfei's words without a doubt and responded softly.

But then he realized something was wrong.

If the deceased died the day before yesterday, then who ordered the takeout yesterday?

So he frowned, raised his right hand, and denied it, saying, "No! According to you, who ordered the takeout?"

"Isn't there a delayed delivery function? You can directly instruct the restaurant." Bai Mengfei's words were like a wake-up call, instantly waking Xiang Yuntian up.

Following this clue, Xiang Yuntian pondered for a moment and came to a conclusion: "If that's really the case, then he set up such a big scheme, could it be that his death was orchestrated by himself?"

Bai Mengfei said definitively, "That's a possibility."

Xiang Yuntian asked, puzzled, "Then tell me, why did he do that?"

"If you wanted to commit suicide, there seemed to be no need to fake it as an accident. Why would you deliberately order takeout to fool the police?"

"This guy wouldn't be sitting around doing nothing, just thinking of finding something for the police to do after he dies, would he?"

Even Xiang Yuntian couldn't understand this situation, so how could Bai Mengfei, who wasn't an expert in this area, possibly figure it out?

Just as the two were racking their brains in the morgue, Zhao Fei hurriedly pushed open the door and strode in.

Upon entering the morgue, he immediately raised his right hand, covered his nose with the back of his hand, and frowned.

Although the temperature here is far below normal, it still cannot mask the stench emanating from the corpses.

He strode quickly toward Xiang Yuntian

"Is everything finished? If you're done, hurry up and leave?"

"I hope that picky new forensic doctor doesn't see this again and starts nagging me."
