"Yes, everything's done."

Xiang Yuntian crossed his arms again, adopting a look like a famous detective, and stated Bai Mengfei's investigation results: "The deceased should not have died yesterday."

Such a crucial clue cannot be overlooked in the slightest!

Zhao Fei's expression immediately changed, and he pressed for an answer: "What?"

“We previously thought the deceased died after talking nonsense, but that was a misconception.”

Xiang Yuntian understood Zhao Fei's doubts and explained in detail: "Actually, he should have died the day before yesterday."

Zhao Fei immediately frowned. Based on this reasoning, according to normal thinking, the case seemed to have become more complicated.

Isn't this obviously an accident?

At least Zhao Fei prefers to think that way, because it would save him a lot of time and allow him to close the case quickly.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? How can you determine the time of death without an autopsy?"

In order to get things over with as quickly as possible, Zhao Fei questioned, "The person is dead, and has been in the cold storage for so long. How did you deduce that he died the day before yesterday?"

In fact, if this conclusion were said by Bai Mengfei herself in the past, then it would be beyond doubt.

Unfortunately, it was Xiang Yuntian who said this, which meant he was definitely not quite there yet.

Bai Mengfei couldn't bring herself to speak and list out the calculation formulas.

For a moment, the three of them were in an extremely awkward situation.

Xiang Yuntian himself couldn't explain the ins and outs, since it wasn't his major. Although he had studied under Bai Mengfei for a while, in terms of experience, he probably wasn't much better than the new female forensic doctor.

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

Just as the group was discussing, the new female forensic doctor pushed open the door and entered, demanding, "What are you three doing here again?"

Taking advantage of the moment, Bai Mengfei quickly and cleverly defused the awkward situation and ran outside.

As soon as she ran, Xiang Yuntian became worried and immediately chased after her.

Zhao Fei was left inside, staring blankly at the female forensic doctor, unsure how to explain himself.

However, the two didn't go far after they went out; they just temporarily stopped.

After avoiding the limelight, the two stood outside the morgue waiting for Zhao Fei to come out.

Zhao Fei spent a long time explaining inside before he was able to get out.

As soon as he came out and saw that the two were still outside, his face immediately darkened.

His face was as black as charcoal, filled with frustration and anger.

He stared at Xiang Yuntian, slowly approached, and asked, "Are you satisfied?"

"Not satisfied." Xiang Yuntian secretly pursed his lips, shrugged, and said with a forced smile, "Captain Zhao, what I just said is the key point, please don't change the subject."

Zhao Fei was furious and raised his voice: "Don't try to change the subject! If this happens again, I won't take the blame for you."

Knowing there would be a next time, Xiang Yuntian quickly said, "Don't do that, Captain Zhao. You see, I've helped you a lot before, and I'm only doing this for the greater good!"

"But what evidence do you have to prove that what you're saying is true?" Zhao Fei asked.

Xiang Yuntian didn't have any high-level qualifications in forensic medicine, so he could only rely on his abilities. The most practical thing he did was to list out all the little-known calculation methods and testing components.

But only Bai Mengfei knew these things.

So Xiang Yuntian turned to look at Bai Mengfei beside him, his eyes full of pleading.

Bai Mengfei also wanted to help him, so she had a sudden idea and pretended to have a stomachache.

She bent over slightly, clutching her stomach with both hands, and frowned in pain, saying, "My stomach suddenly hurts so much!"

Xiang Yuntian understood and quickly put on a nervous expression, saying, "Come on, let me take you to the restroom."

Before Zhao Fei could react, Xiang Yuntian took Bai Mengfei's hand and led her to the restroom.

Zhao Fei was furious, but seeing this scene, he had no choice but to let the two go.

After all, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't hold a grudge against a child.

When I got outside the restroom, I saw that no one was there.

"Now is the time to test your abilities as the youngest genius psychology PhD and medical student."

Bai Mengfei looked serious and earnestly said to Xiang Yuntian, "I will tell you about the symptoms caused by the extracted components, as well as their meanings. I'll get to it quickly, so please remember everything."

Then, Bai Mengfei described all the symptoms she had observed.

All of this can be verified in the book.

And Xiang Yuntian's memory is indeed really good.

When he came out of the restroom and returned to Zhao Fei, he was able to repeat Bai Mengfei's words verbatim.

He further summarized his reasoning by saying, "Therefore, since low temperatures slow down the decomposition process, the symptoms that appear inside are like the effects that would occur in a day at room temperature. This confirms that the deceased died the day before yesterday."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fei couldn't help but gasp.

He sincerely admired Xiang Yuntian for being able to say so many things that ordinary people couldn't understand but were based on solid evidence.

But I still felt that presenting the facts would only complicate the case further.

So he didn't say anything, he just frowned.

"I'm not trying to be mean, Captain Zhao, but you don't need to overcomplicate things."

Xiang Yuntian saw through his thoughts from his expression, and then reviewed the case again, saying, "This research only points to one key fact: the deceased was deliberately playing tricks."

This concerns the truth of the case, Zhao Fei asked nervously, "What do you mean?"

"We just need to make a phone call to ask if the takeout order from yesterday was placed by the deceased the day before yesterday, and we can basically confirm it."

They then contacted Hu Shuo, whom they had released late last night, and obtained the store's contact information.

After investigation, the police discovered that the truth was exactly as Bai Mengfei had predicted.

That takeout order was indeed placed the day before yesterday.

"But what does that prove?"

However, Zhao Fei still didn't understand and asked, "Did the deceased intentionally commit suicide and make such a big scene to deliberately cause trouble for the police? Or did the deceased have a grudge against Hu Shuo and deliberately try to frame him with this incident?"

I don't think so.

Bai Mengfei, who had been remaining behind the scenes, finally spoke up, "Perhaps we've misunderstood. We should try to see things from his perspective. What good would doing this do for him?"

Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian's eyes lit up immediately.

They all agreed with Bai Mengfei's reasoning, and soon followed her line of thought into deep contemplation.

Zhao Fei couldn't figure it out, nor did he have the patience to think about it; he was simply too busy.

So he came up with a wild idea: "Could it be that he really has a grudge against Hu Shuo, and wants to frame Hu Shuo for his own death?"

It's unlikely, since Hu claimed he and the deceased didn't know each other at all. Furthermore, the system assigns delivery drivers rather arbitrarily, and the deceased couldn't have guaranteed that Hu would accept the order.

However, this guess sparked Xiang Yuntian's inspiration.

Xiang Yuntian raised his head and offered a guess.

Do you think there's any possibility of that?

Xiang Yuntian excitedly explained, "His real reason for doing this was to confuse us and make us think he died in an accident. By ordering takeout beforehand, he made people mistakenly believe that he died after ordering takeout, thus making himself a so-called eyewitness."
