A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

"Hehe, you're awake?" Xiang Yuntian said with a smile.

Bai Mengfei felt inexplicably embarrassed. After all, one is bound to be obligated to accept gifts and food, even though she should perhaps get used to Xiang Yuntian's thoughtfulness.

She nodded silently in response.

As she was leaving, Xiang Yuntian mentioned a case to her: "An elderly man was murdered this time. I met with Captain Zhao this afternoon, and I heard that the matter has become complicated."

"How is it so troublesome?" Bai Mengfei's brows had been slightly furrowed since she got into the car. "That's unlikely! Why would the murderer target an elderly person this time? Is it a man or a woman?"

Xiang Yuntian started the car and said, "It was an old man. Actually, I was wondering about it too. But things have really gotten to this point, it's quite troublesome. Judging from how the body was disposed of, I don't think it was the murderer we were investigating before."

"Then could this be classified as a separate case?" Bai Mengfei guessed.

“That’s right,” Xiang Yuntian agreed. “That’s what I thought too. Would you be interested in coming with me to see the details?”

Bai Mengfei was naturally interested and secretly nodded in agreement.

The two then went together to the police station's autopsy department.

Bai Mengfei lifted the white sheet covering the corpse and quickly analyzed, "The deceased was male, between 55 and 65 years old. The cause of death was a blunt force trauma to the head, with obvious marks. There were multiple wounds on his body, presumably caused by abuse."

Xiang Yuntian stood aside, gazing at Bai Mengfei. Her focused expression remained unchanged, and her innate haughty temperament seemed to still be there.

He was drawn to women like this. Even though Bai Mengfei looked like a young girl now, as long as the mature and sophisticated air in her eyes remained, he was still captivated.

While Xiang Yuntian was engrossed in watching, Bai Mengfei had already finished her analysis.

She turned her head and saw Xiang Yuntian staring intently at her, so she asked with a hint of doubt, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"No...nothing, I didn't see it." Xiang Yuntian quickly denied it, while secretly lowering his head and avoiding eye contact, not daring to look at Bai Mengfei again, his heart filled with panic.

Just as the two were silently gazing at each other, Fanghua walked in.

"Hey, what are you doing here again?" Fanghua said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Xiang Yuntian, it's fine if you bring people here, but don't always let the kids see these things."

Bai Mengfei quickly said, "It's alright, we have this kind of genetic predisposition in our family, so seeing these won't have any impact."

As they were talking, Bai Mengfei noticed something unusual.

The spot where the old man was missing a tooth looked rather odd.

It's normal for an elderly person to lose teeth, but the shape of that gap was unusual.

Out of professional instinct, Bai Mengfei turned around, skillfully pinched the old man's cheek with her hand to open his mouth, and then calmly picked up a pair of pliers from the side.

She began to examine the wound carefully.

This scene caught Fanghua's eye and greatly surprised her.

This girl was much more skilled than her. Looking at Bai Mengfei's calm and mature demeanor, Fanghua couldn't help but frown, secretly wondering what kind of background this girl had.

Without professional training, it would be impossible to be so skilled.

After examining the suspicious wounds, Bai Mengfei said, "This is very likely a case of murder for money. And the person who committed the murder is very likely a relative. Captain Zhao should investigate the old man's family. Look at these injuries; they are very likely caused by long-term domestic violence."

After hearing this, Fanghua stepped forward and said, "I thought so too before, but it's obvious that this old man is a lonely old man."

"Could it be that someone is bullying him?" Bai Mengfei asked, turning her head.

At this moment, Fanghua no longer regarded Bai Mengfei as a child, but as a peer, and she felt a sense of respect for Bai Mengfei's professional abilities.

Fanghua stepped forward, took the old man's hand, and said, "Look at these bruises on your hands. They were clearly left within the last three days. If you want to find out the truth, we'll probably have to do some interviews and investigations."

“I think it’s possible,” Xiang Yuntian finally said. “However, this case and the previous murder cases cannot be investigated together, as the murderer is obviously not the same person.”

“Yes, I agree with that too,” Fanghua agreed.

……

In the evening, after having a simple meal at the police station, the three of them went together to the place where the old man had lived before his death.

It was an unfinished building. The old man must have been living in poverty, because the building was dilapidated and located in a remote area, making it almost worthless. Most of the residents had already moved away.

Bai Mengfei and the others couldn't even find anyone to ask.

When the three arrived at the old man's house, they found that the kitchen floor had collapsed and the range hood looked like it was about to fall down.

The elderly person may have been too old or suffering from dementia to clean up.

As soon as I opened the door, a strong smell of feces and urine hit me, clearly due to long-term neglect.

Fanghua, a forensic doctor who had just entered the profession, was obviously not yet used to various crime scenes. She quickly raised her right hand to cover her nose, frowned and said, "How can anyone live in a place like this?"

Bai Mengfei simply smiled in response.

She has experienced many similar situations and knows the helplessness of life.

Judging from the furniture and other items in the house, the old man was indeed not wealthy; the noodles in the pot had gone bad, and the pot was broken, yet he continued to use it.

Xiang Yuntian deduced from this: "Judging from the appearance, the old man should be able to take care of himself with difficulty, and his illness should not be serious."

“Yes.” Fanghua introduced from the side, “We have investigated. The old man’s name is Qian Jianguo, he is 58 years old and suffers from intermittent Alzheimer’s disease. He has no close relatives, he is alone and doesn’t have many friends.”

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei's sharp eyes caught sight of a ring on the ground.

That's a diamond ring!

She carefully picked up the ring with her sleeve and held it up to show them.

Does this old man really have no money and no relatives or friends?

Perhaps some crucial details were overlooked during the investigation.

In an instant, a sharp glint flashed in Xiang Yuntian's eyes.

He looked at the dazzling diamonds, pointed with his index finger, and said, "Judging from the current situation, this old man is definitely not poor. Perhaps we should investigate his background further and see what he did in the past."

“He used to run a company, but it went bankrupt,” Fanghua replied, flipping through the case files she had already obtained.

Upon hearing this news, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but frown.

It seems that he likely hid most of his wealth before filing for bankruptcy.

Moreover, it's highly unlikely that a lonely elderly person with little money and no social connections would buy a diamond ring that looks quite valuable for no reason; that doesn't make sense.
