Take Fang Kai's assistant, for example.

Although his head was facing the group, his eyes were already darting curiously into the dormitory, trying to see what was happening.

This discovery made Bai Mengfei even more suspicious of Fang Kai.

Xiang Yuntian, however, did not realize this. He felt that things could not be so coincidental, that Fang Kai was the murderer and that he had met them directly at the scene.

So his eyes were always fixed on the inside of the room, trying to find clues.

A moment later, he squeezed past Zhao Fei and entered the room.

Then, quite naturally, he took out a marker from his pocket, gently lifted the white cloth covering the female victim, and began to examine her carefully.

When was the body discovered?

"Just this morning."

Zhao Fei hurriedly ran over and replied, "The other people in the dormitory saw it when they got up, and... it seems like she was assaulted."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian immediately used his pen to lift the white cloth underneath.

Sure enough, there were signs of assault, and the murderer treated the victim with extreme cruelty.

Bai Mengfei stepped forward, squatted down beside her, and quietly observed.

Zhao Fei turned around unintentionally and saw her half-squatting posture. Suddenly, a person popped into his mind: the former forensic doctor Bai.

Zhao Fei couldn't help but take a few more glances.

He couldn't help but wonder why this little girl looked so much like Bai Mengfei.

If Xiang Yuntian hadn't denied it before, he would have really thought that this little girl was Bai Mengfei's daughter.

The two people's behavior is so similar.

Bai Mengfei's gaze as she examined the corpse was exactly the same as before.

She analyzed it to herself.

The deceased was a woman, aged 20-30, who had been sexually assaulted. There were no obvious injuries on her body. The cause of death is unknown and requires further investigation.

Xiang Yuntian seemed to be able to hear her thoughts, or rather, they shared the same opinion.

He directly and completely repeated Bai Mengfei's analysis on the spot.

However, there is a subtle difference: Xiang Yuntian deduced that the murderer used drugs before the victim died.

This is based on logical reasoning and has no direct connection to forensic expertise.

Bai Mengfei, however, did not think so. She believed that the deceased was not in a coma before death; on the contrary, he should have been conscious.

This point is crucial!

From this, we can deduce the murderer's motive.

If the perpetrator did this to someone who was already unconscious, it would still be considered a common act of violence.

But if someone were to commit such a heinous act against a conscious person, then the murderer must be a psychopath and have some issues.

Because Bai Mengfei looks young, it's not convenient for her to communicate with Xiang Yuntian, who is considered a professional. So she asked Xiang Yuntian to convey his views to Zhao Fei.

She herself kept a close eye on Fang Kai.

Fang Kai looked really strange; his eyes kept darting around, and he clearly seemed guilty.

He's probably trying his best to act natural.

If he really did commit this crime, he certainly wouldn't dare to openly witness it all in front of everyone. After all, Bai Mengfei had only ever seen someone do something like this and still act normally in the movie Hannibal.

Bai Mengfei understood all this, so she silently kept her suspicions to herself.

At this moment, her most suspicious person was Fang Kai.

However, Xiang Yuntian's suspicion was not directed at Fang Kai, but at another person—Xu Sanmin.

He smelled a scent of wine on the female victim, the smell of red wine, a scent he had just smelled at Xu Sanmin's house the day before.

This is too coincidental, right?

Back at the police station, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian finally had a chance to talk.

“Your deduction just now was wrong,” Bai Mengfei said.

Xiang Yuntian didn't think there was anything wrong with his deduction, so he asked, "Where did I go wrong?"

"The female victim was likely conscious before she died. Although there were no signs of struggle, it is very likely that she did not resist because she was threatened."

Xiang Yuntian pondered carefully, knowing that every detail was crucial. Yet, he still held onto his opinion that the female victim must have been unconscious before her death.

Fortunately, this problem is relatively easy to investigate; we only need to examine the blood composition of the deceased before their death. However, this can only serve as a basis for inference and cannot be considered conclusive evidence.

Because the deceased may have been given alcohol or drugs, but did not fall into a coma.

These are all possibilities.

After an examination by the police station's female forensic doctor, it was discovered that the deceased woman had no alcohol in her system.

This greatly surprised Xiang Yuntian.

He turned to look at Bai Mengfei, his eyes filled with surprise, genuinely curious as to how Bai Mengfei knew.

At this moment, the female forensic doctor handed him the test report and said irritably, "Don't rely on guesswork for everything." It seems she harbored deep resentment towards Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian didn't care; at this moment, he only cared about Bai Mengfei.

In order to find a place to have a proper talk with Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian invited Bai Mengfei to go to the amusement park, since Bai Mengfei didn't have to go to school today.

After arriving at the amusement park, Xiang Yuntian insisted on taking Bai Mengfei on the carousel.

Bai Mengfei absolutely refused.

Please, how old are you? It's so embarrassing to be sitting in this!

However, Xiang Yuntian ignored her and insisted on putting her on the rocking horse.

The rocking horse slowly turned, while Xiang Yuntian walked backward beside it, just so he could keep looking at Bai Mengfei's face.

"How do you know she was conscious before she died?" Xiang Yuntian asked.

Bai Mengfei smiled calmly and asked in return, "Didn't you notice the wounds? The wounds on the female victim's body were obviously twisted, which is because the pain caused the muscles to contract."

“But the dead don’t feel pain.”

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but recall that there seemed to be a book that had discussed something similar.

He couldn't remember which book it was, but he felt that Bai Mengfei's words made a lot of sense.

"Alright, do you have any other questions? If not, I'll head back." Bai Mengfei said, preparing to dismount from the wooden horse.

Xiang Yuntian stopped her, saying, "You've finally managed to get out and rest, don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Bai Mengfei turned to look at him helplessly. "What are you doing today? Trying to get revenge on me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I wouldn't dare."

Xiang Yuntian quickly explained, "It's just that you look like a little girl right now, so you should experience some things that little girls should do, so that others won't find it strange!"

Xiang Yuntian actually knew Bai Mengfei very well. He knew that this was probably the first time Bai Mengfei had ever been to an amusement park.

that's the truth.

Bai Mengfei has always been outstanding since childhood, using the time others spent playing to study hard.

So she has never been to an amusement park.

It was rare to have such a handsome guy like Xiang Yuntian with her, and she was actually quite happy inside.

Although she was secretly delighted, she didn't want to show it in front of Xiang Yuntian, lest he become complacent.

Xiang Yuntian himself didn't really want to play, but in order to make Bai Mengfei happy, he even rode the Ferris wheel with her.

In fact, Xiang Yuntian has a weakness: he is afraid of heights.

As the Ferris wheel slowly rose to its highest point, he was so frightened that he almost burrowed into Bai Mengfei's arms.

Bai Mengfei found this scene quite amusing; she never expected Xiang Yuntian to have such an adorable side.

However, after getting off the Ferris wheel, Xiang Yuntian felt unwell and kept vomiting while lying to the side.

While standing to the side handing out tissues, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but burst out laughing, even though she was trying hard to hold it in.
