Zhao Fei glanced at Bai Mengfei and then said, "Let's go! I think it'll be more convenient if we walk and talk."

"Mm," Zhang Jie responded.

The three of them got into the car together, and Zhang Jie asked Zhao Fei, "Captain Zhao, could this case be the work of the same killer who committed the serial murders of young girls?"

"After preliminary analysis, I think it's highly likely. After all, the body was brutally chopped into pieces, practically dismembered. And something was missing from the body."

Upon hearing Zhao Fei's words, Zhang Jie frowned, a look of disappointment on his face.

When the three arrived at the library, they saw that the scene had already been cordoned off by police who had arrived earlier, and the area outside the door was crowded with onlookers, including many reporters.

As the three were about to enter, Bai Mengfei immediately spotted Zhang Shun, who was filming the scene from the crowd.

When Zhang Shun saw her, he turned around, smiled slightly at her, and took a picture of them.

After the three entered the library, Zhao Fei asked the police officer in charge of the scene, "What's the situation now?"

The police officer reported, "Early this morning, the library manager called the police, saying a body had been found in the library. When our people arrived, they found several pieces of body parts, all of which had been marked. Later, they discovered that this was not a complete body. We searched almost the entire library, but we couldn't find the woman's little finger."

As he spoke, he accompanied Zhao Fei inside.

After listening, Zhao Fei frowned, offered his opinion, and asked, "Besides this, have you made any other discoveries?"

"Yes! We discovered that the murderer chose to commit the crime at night, and the female victim was neither a library staff member nor a regular customer. She was a girl from another school, and it seems she was forcibly taken here."

As they were talking, Bai Mengfei strode forward, and Zhang Jie quickly followed her.

The two began to carefully examine the scene, even using professional tools to measure the distance between the body parts. After finishing their examination, Bai Mengfei squatted down next to one of the body parts, lost in deep thought.

Seeing that Bai Mengfei seemed to be thinking about something, Zhang Que wanted to help, so he squatted down beside her and asked softly, "Master, have you thought of any clues?"

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, turned her head, gently shook her head, and said, "I haven't thought of anything yet, but my intuition tells me that this case is not so simple. The murderer's modus operandi is similar to the previous ones. Let's take the body parts back for examination first."

"Mm," Zhang replied.

As Bai Mengfei and Zhao Fei were about to leave, they were surrounded by a group of reporters.

The reporters, having finally seized this opportunity, began to bombard the reporters with questions:

"Captain Zhao and Forensic Doctor Zhang, this case occurred in the library. What are your thoughts on this?"

"Has the police made any breakthroughs in this case so far?"

When do you plan to solve the case and catch the murderer?

……

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Zhao Fei only said one thing: "I'm sorry, we have no comment at this time."

"Excuse me, please make way," Bai Mengfei said again.

The two finally made it back to the police station. Zhao Fei sighed, turned to Bai Mengfei, and said, "You saw what happened at the scene."

"Mmm," Bai Mengfei responded softly.

Zhao Fei frowned, pondered for a moment with a helpless expression, and said, "There are too many people here and too much gossip. Let's talk in my office instead."

"Okay." Bai Mengfei nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Bai Mengfei followed Zhao Fei into the office and began to talk.

During the conversation, Zhao Fei asked Bai Mengfei for her opinion on the case. Bai Mengfei put forward an unprecedented view: "I suspect that from beginning to end, there were two murderers in this case."

"Why do you say that? How did you figure that out?" This was no small clue, and Zhao Fei seemed particularly attentive.

Bai Mengfei pondered quietly for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Based on the current situation, I believe there are two murderers. Because there are some differences in their methods of disposing of the body, and these details show that the two have different personalities."

"Is it possible that the same murderer sometimes does this and sometimes does that?" Zhao Fei asked.

Bai Mengfei lowered her head, pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No."

"Why?" Zhao Fei pressed.

Bai Mengfei carefully considered her words before explaining, "Because these two murderers each have their own characteristics. Although their overall methods are similar, their handling of details is completely different. So I think this is not only the work of two murderers, but there should be no connection between them."

"So, who do you think killed the forensic doctor's mother, the one who committed the initial crime?"

"It's the killer who handled the body in a more organized way and didn't carelessly discard body parts. It's definitely not this one from today," Bai Mengfei said.

Zhao Fei pursed his lips, lowered his head and pondered for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "In that case, what do you plan to do next? How will you continue the investigation?"

Bai Mengfei smiled faintly, looked up at Zhao Fei, and said, "Let's investigate using the conventional methods. However, this is just a deduction; as for whether the actual situation is as I suspect, I don't yet have conclusive evidence to prove it."

"Hmm." Zhao Fei let out a heavy sigh, sounding somewhat irritated. "Anyway, this case is now in your hands. Like I said, I hope you can solve it as soon as possible. You saw the media frenzy just now."

"I will do my best," Bai Mengfei replied firmly.

Back in her office, as she was about to leave, Bai Mengfei found a letter on her desk. It was an unsigned letter, clearly addressed to her.

She opened the letter and glanced at it. It read: "Want to know the truth? At 12:00 noon, come alone to the secret room you know about!"

Bai Mengfei silently lowered her head and placed the letter on the table.

At 11:30 a.m., she set off for the real-life locked room where the murder had occurred last time.

Upon arriving by car, she discovered that the previously sealed-off area had been opened. After confirming that she hadn't gone to the wrong place, she slowly walked inside.
