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

Zhao Fei had figured out some of the tricks of the trade, but he still felt there was something strange about the matter.

He couldn't help but frown and lower his head in deep thought.

Although he would occasionally glance back, compared to Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, he was a complete novice in this area and couldn't see anything special about it.

At this moment, he was not only worried about the case, but also increasingly suspicious of Bai Mengfei's identity.

Who exactly is this seemingly young girl in front of us?

It's really hard to figure out.

Just as Zhao Fei was filled with astonishment, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei finished their preliminary investigation of the case and walked out together.

Seeing them come out, Zhao Fei hurried forward to greet them, eagerly inquiring about the case: "How is it going?"

"The cause of death is clear: strangulation. However, further investigation is needed to determine the specific details," Xiang Yuntian said, his brows furrowed tightly, clearly indicating that he found the murderer's methods extremely cruel.

Just as Xiang Yuntian was racking his brains but had no clue, Bai Mengfei suddenly said something that gave him an idea: "This case is very likely related to an illegal cult."

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Xiang Yuntian's eyes, because the strange tattoo was indeed full of suspicious points.

Both domestically and internationally, cases involving these elements do indeed easily uncover some illegal religious sects with questionable beliefs. And those fanatics might actually commit some inappropriate and extreme acts.

China has always cracked down on these illegal religious sects with zero tolerance.

But after all, the country is too big, and there are bound to be some remote corners where such people are still disrupting public order.

Considering the harm that illegal religious sects pose to society, Xiang Yuntian immediately asked Zhao Fei, "Captain Zhao, can I stay here to continue the investigation?"

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's request, Zhao Fei instinctively turned to look at the police officer beside him.

The two police officers had no objections when someone offered to help share the workload.

And so, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei decided to stay overnight.

Pan Li was taken away by Zhao Fei, who promised to make proper arrangements and take good care of her.

After reaching an agreement, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian strolled around the area.

"Aren't we going back to the police station dormitory?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian walked slowly and leisurely, but from his eyes, it was clear that he was thinking about something, and it was most likely related to the case.

Seeing that Xiang Yuntian looked deep in thought, Bai Mengfei didn't ask any more questions and simply stayed quietly by his side.

After all, as a woman, she has never liked to interfere in men's affairs, just as she herself has many things she doesn't want men to know.

However, Xiang Yuntian finally couldn't help but speak up. He turned to Bai Mengfei and said, "Things are far more complicated than we imagine. I feel the murderer is very likely still around here."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei immediately understood that Xiang Yuntian had been thinking about the case the whole time.

This left her feeling somewhat helpless.

But she didn't say anything, only responded with a soft "hmm".

Xiang Yuntian seemed to suddenly remember something, snapped his fingers, and turned around.

He pointed at Bai Mengfei with his index finger and said, "Furthermore, the murderer's method seems simple, but it is actually full of hidden tricks and is not as easy as it appears on the surface. There must be an unknown motive behind it."

“That’s right. I just overheard Captain Zhao talking to those two officers.” Bai Mengfei said as she recalled, “I think this matter might be related to the girl. Perhaps we can start our investigation from that totem.”

Bai Mengfei was thinking very deeply when she said these words.

The two walked for almost the entire night before finally arriving at the police dormitory arranged by the officers.

Since no one knew Bai Mengfei's real age, for safety reasons, they arranged for her to live with Xiang Yuntian.

The dormitory was extremely basic, almost like a small hotel, with only one bed in the room.

Xiang Yuntian felt extremely embarrassed after learning Bai Mengfei's true identity.

After all, he couldn't possibly share a bed with Bai Mengfei, could he?

Um... although he really wanted to.

Thinking this, he consciously walked to the chair against the wall and sat down, and said softly to Bai Mengfei, "You sleep tonight, I'll stay with you."

Bai Mengfei looked around the simple house and thought to herself that this was not a place to stay for a day or two.

She shook her head and said, "Let's make do for tonight and find somewhere else to stay tomorrow. Otherwise, we won't have the energy to investigate the case if we don't get enough rest."

"Okay, sure." Although he said that, Xiang Yuntian remained sitting steadily in the chair, not moving at all. "So you should go to sleep first. Don't think too much. Get some rest. Good night."

Seeing Xiang Yuntian's gentlemanly demeanor, Bai Mengfei was actually quite happy.

After all, this at least confirms one thing: I haven't misjudged him.

Xiang Yuntian sat there, closed his eyes, and pretended to be asleep.

Bai Mengfei no longer stood on ceremony. She lay down on the bed, pulled up the covers, and prepared to fall asleep.

Late at night, both of them heard noises outside.

First came a whooshing sound, which was not very clear at first, but Bai Mengfei listened carefully and then realized that it was the sound of flowing water.

She couldn't help but frown and fall into deep thought.

Being in an unfamiliar place, she lacked a sense of security and couldn't possibly sleep soundly, her mind constantly focused on the sounds outside.

Even when she closes her eyes, the image of the corpse and the totem on its arm appears in her mind.

That tattoo, even though it wasn't drawn in a notebook, was already deeply imprinted in her mind.

As she was thinking, she suddenly opened her eyes.

She really couldn't sleep.

In a daze, deep in her subconscious, she had a hallucination.

She seemed to see a person holding a knife slowly approaching her, the knife about to strike her hard.

Although she wasn't terrified enough to break out in a cold sweat, she was still somewhat scared.

Could this be related to my past life?

She wasn't sure either, but perhaps there was some connection.

To put her mind at ease, she turned to look at Xiang Yuntian sitting on the edge of the bed, only to find that he was still awake, his head bowed as if deep in thought.

She looked up and realized that Xiang Yuntian was sitting there, engrossed in playing with his phone.

Noticing Bai Mengfei looking at him, Xiang Yuntian raised his head, smiled at Bai Mengfei, and said, "You're awake? It's only a little past three o'clock."

"Is it raining outside?" Bai Mengfei asked, raising her right hand to gently rub her long hair, trying to clear her somewhat dizzy head.

Xiang Yuntian was so engrossed in looking at his phone that he didn't notice what was happening outside. So he stood up and walked towards the window.

He opened the window and saw that there were indeed raindrops falling slanted by the wind, confirming that it was raining outside.
