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

Jiang Shuai nodded solemnly.

He acknowledged in a low voice, "That's right, the murderer almost killed me that time."

At this point, he couldn't help but frown, his expression growing increasingly somber, as if he were lost in that terrible memory.

A hint of fear could be seen between his handsome, sword-like eyebrows and bright, star-like eyes.

Who would have thought that a free-spirited and unrestrained wanderer like him would have moments of fear, and what terrified him was the cruel and exceptionally terrifying murderer.

Just as the three entered the dormitory, preparing to analyze the case in depth, Old Chen suddenly appeared with Xu Sanmin.

Having spent many years navigating the world of martial arts, Old Chen should have known long ago that Xiang Yuntian and Xu Sanmin had never gotten along.

But why did he bring Xu Sanmin along? What was his intention?

Upon seeing Xu Sanmin, the excitement on Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Jiang Shuai vanished instantly, replaced by cold expressions.

Because none of the three of them had a good impression of Xu Sanmin.

Xu Sanmin appears to be a righteous gentleman on the surface, but behind the scenes, he has done countless shady things.

"Why are you here?" Xiang Yuntian asked first.

Before Old Chen could respond, Xu Sanmin hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "I'm here mainly for the case. I hope to work with you to thoroughly investigate the truth behind this case."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian subconsciously turned to look at Bai Mengfei, who was sitting on the opposite bed.

Bai Mengfei kept her head down and did not express any opinion.

She decided to wait and see, since she always liked to see others take the initiative, as it made it easier for them to reveal their weaknesses and embarrass themselves in front of her.

When Xu Sanmin saw Xiang Yuntian turn around to look at Bai Mengfei, and then noticed the injury on Xiang Yuntian's hand, he pretended to be concerned and deliberately walked towards Xiang Yuntian, asking, "What happened to your hand?"

"I'm fine." Xiang Yuntian didn't want to reveal too much information to Xu Sanmin.

It wasn't that she was worried Xu Sanmin would steal the credit, but rather that she simply didn't want to cooperate with him.

After all, Xu Sanmin is now a prime suspect in this series of murders.

If the murderer is indeed Xu Sanmin, then the murderer in the previous case pales in comparison. Xu Sanmin is simply a great demon lurking in the shadows.

Xu Sanmin was quite good at getting close to people, and he deliberately sat down next to Xiang Yuntian.

He knew that Xiang Yuntian cared deeply for Bai Mengfei, so he glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes filled with a kind of interesting scrutiny, as if he were examining a rare object.

Xiang Yuntian noticed his ill-intentioned gaze and, out of concern for Bai Mengfei, immediately got up and sat down next to her.

"Ahem." Old Chen felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and oppressive, so he couldn't help but cough twice. At the same time, he stepped forward and said, "Um, it suddenly feels really stuffy in here. Dr. Xu, why don't we go outside for some fresh air?"

Hearing Old Chen say this, Xu Sanmin readily agreed. After all, he knew in his heart that he wasn't popular here.

After the two men left, the three people inside the room began to whisper among themselves.

"I really don't understand what he's doing here. He seems like a hypocrite, all crocodile tears." Jiang Shuai said, frowning.

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, agreeing with Jiang Shuai's view, and then said, "No matter what his purpose is, we cannot let our guard down."

“That’s right,” Bai Mengfei agreed. “This person is definitely not a kind person; he’s not simple at all.”

The day after this incident, the three launched an investigation at the school. However, everyone they questioned, including the teacher Wang Haobin, said that Xu Sanmin had already questioned them.

Xu Sanmin, under the guise of the police, questioned almost everyone in the school who might know the truth, even the principal.

Even if there was any important evidence, it has probably all been taken away by him.

Around noon, the three of them walked slowly down the school corridor.

Although Xu Sanmin may have already obtained all the clues to solve the case, Xiang Yuntian still held a trump card—the watch.

That day, he almost fell into the river while trying to retrieve the watch. Thinking of this, he said to Jiang Shuai and Bai Mengfei, "I know something else that might be the key to solving the case; it might even be what the murderer left behind."

"What is it?" Bai Mengfei asked curiously.

Jiang Shuai pondered for a moment and then asked, "What is it? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me quickly."

Xiang Yuntian smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out when you come with me."

Then, he led Bai Mengfei and Jiang Shuai to the bridge.

Upon seeing the surging river, Jiang Shuai couldn't help but gasp in amazement, even looking down into the water filled him with a sense of fear.

"Why did you bring us to this turbulent river?" Jiang Shuai said half-jokingly. "Could it be that you can't solve the case and want to drag us into the river to prove your innocence?"

"Get lost, stop thinking nonsense." Xiang Yuntian rolled his eyes at him.

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Yuntian instructed Jiang Shuai, "You stay here and take good care of Zhang Ting for me. I'm going to check around."

"Don't worry, I won't bully her."

Although Jiang Shuai said that, as soon as Xiang Yuntian left, he started asking Bai Mengfei all sorts of questions: "Is your name really Zhang Ting? Are you really just a teenage girl?"

To conceal her true identity, Bai Mengfei deliberately raised her head, looked up at the sky, and feigned innocence, saying, "Of course it's true! What do you think?"

Jiang Shuai turned around, gently placed his hands on the bridge pier, bent down slightly, looked at the river and said, "I don't think you are like that. In short, your IQ is definitely far beyond that of ordinary people. It's not an exaggeration to say that your brain may be more powerful than mine and Xiang Yuntian's combined."

Hearing Jiang Shuai's praise, Bai Mengfei was not happy at all; instead, she felt a little worried.

She thought to herself, if Jiang Shuai discovers her identity and tells others, she will definitely be arrested and subjected to research.

Just as she was feeling flustered, Jiang Shuai turned around and changed his words, saying, "Don't worry, since it's inconvenient for you to talk about it, I won't ask anymore, and I won't go around telling everyone. Because I'm Xiang Yuntian's good friend, and I think he's sincere towards you too, after all, you've always been inseparable. So, even if you have any secrets that no one else knows, I will keep them for you."

On this point, Bai Mengfei still trusted Jiang Shuai quite a bit. After all, Jiang Shuai's past actions of going to great lengths for Xiang Yuntian showed that he was a person who valued loyalty and righteousness.

Bai Mengfei then said, "That's good."

As the two were talking, a man wearing a white shirt and a baseball cap walked onto the bridge.

Jiang Shuai saw nothing unusual about it. But Bai Mengfei felt that the man's behavior was somewhat suspicious, and she couldn't help but stare at him intently with her seemingly innocent eyes.

As the man walked, he kept adjusting his baseball cap, seemingly trying to avoid Bai Mengfei's gaze.

Bai Mengfei's doubts grew stronger, and she decided to keep a close eye on the man's every move, as he might be intricately connected to the case. Jiang Shuai also seemed to notice Bai Mengfei's unusual behavior, and following her gaze, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as well.
