"No, don't talk nonsense!"

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's words, Bai Mengfei snapped out of her daze and quickly replied.

“You clearly do.” A warm smile appeared on Xiang Yuntian’s face, a smile that seemed to dispel the gloom in Bai Mengfei’s heart.

"Alright." Bai Mengfei admitted helplessly, letting out a long sigh of relief. "I am still pondering what that guy's real purpose was? What was his motive? Do I still have a chance to make the corpse 'speak' and tell the truth?"

Hearing Bai Mengfei express her inner confusion, Xiang Yuntian knew he couldn't help her much right now, so he sighed softly and said, "I understand how you feel, but this can't be rushed. Haste makes waste."

These last four words were once spoken by Bai Mengfei to Xiang Yuntian. Now, hearing them uttered by Xiang Yuntian, they involuntarily brought back many memories of the past.

She couldn't help but smile calmly.

In that instant of smiling, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

The murderer's actions were most likely motivated by a desire for some kind of gain, and those so-called totems were probably just a charade to confuse the public.

However, there are no professional forensic experts at the police station to conduct a detailed study of the body, and she and Xiang Yuntian are only there to assist in the investigation, so they cannot touch the body at will.

These circumstances caused Bai Mengfei great distress.

"I still hope to have the opportunity to examine the body." Bai Mengfei suddenly blurted out this sentence while eating.

Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but think of the corpses he often came into contact with, and suddenly lost his appetite, gently putting down the steamed bun in his hand.

"Okay, I'll think of something."

Bai Mengfei originally thought Xiang Yuntian was just making empty promises, but she didn't expect him to actually convince the police and take Bai Mengfei with him to examine the body that had not yet been cremated.

A day or two later, livor mortis had appeared on the body.

Bai Mengfei showed no disgust and went straight to the corpse to examine it carefully. Her examination revealed something unusual: the body had fine stitches, a highly skilled technique clearly done by a professional.

Moreover, the stitches have been removed.

"What's going on?" Bai Mengfei turned to Xiang Yuntian. "Come and take a look."

Guided by Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian also noticed this strangeness. Judging from the condition of the corpse, it could be deduced that the body had been tampered with, and that this happened after death.

"I don't know if the body was treated like this before it was alive, or if it was tampered with after death," Bai Mengfei said, frowning.

Xiang Yuntian was equally clueless and slowly shook his head.

Because of this significant discovery, Xiang Yuntian truthfully reported the situation to his superiors and applied for an autopsy.

With the family's consent, Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei performed an autopsy on the body, and the results were shocking: the woman's liver and some vital organs were missing.

"My God, how could this be?" Even Xiang Yuntian was taken aback.

A thought flashed through Bai Mengfei's mind in an instant.

There may be a criminal gang behind this, specializing in organ trafficking.

So she turned to Xiang Yuntian and said, "I think the murderer's real intention is not what it seems. On the surface, it is a case of perverted killing, but in reality, it is a series of premeditated murders. And their real purpose can be summed up in two words—profit."

When she said the last two words, Bai Mengfei emphasized them with righteous indignation, her voice firm and powerful, to the point that her voice trembled slightly.

Xiang Yuntian sensed the deep anger in her tone and quickly tried to calm her down, saying, "Don't worry, we will definitely bring the murderer to justice."

"Hmm." Bai Mengfei responded coldly, clearly her anger had not subsided.

While the two were talking in the morgue, Xiang Yuntian's phone suddenly started vibrating.

He immediately took out his phone and found that it was Zhao Fei calling.

With Bai Mengfei standing beside him, he didn't try to hide it and answered the phone directly.

"Hey, Captain Xu, what do you want?" His tone was slightly impatient, after all, he was currently helping Bai Mengfei with a case.

Zhao Fei's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "How's your case going? If you're done, come back and help! There's another problem here. The TV station found a female corpse today. Fanghua's examination revealed that the modus operandi is similar to the previous ones."

"Okay, I understand." After saying that, Xiang Yuntian hung up the phone after Zhao Fei did so.

Seeing Xiang Yuntian's unusual expression, Bai Mengfei asked curiously, "What happened?"

"Yes, Captain Xu said there's been another incident over there, this time at the TV station."

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and concluded: "It seems that the murderer is probably not Xu Sanmin. We may have wronged him before."

"That's hard to say. There might be two perpetrators, one the ringleader and the other an accomplice. But as things stand, we have enough evidence to show the media that the killer is indeed not Zhang Shun."

Bai Mengfei completely agreed with Xiang Yuntian's point of view.

The two reached a consensus once again.

After careful consideration, Bai Mengfei made a decisive decision: "We need to solve this case quickly and then go back to help. Xu Fang alone probably can't handle it."

“That’s right. Judging from Captain Xu’s anxious tone, the situation must be very difficult, especially since Xu Fang is a new forensic doctor.” Xiang Yuntian said with his arms crossed and a solemn expression.

Bai Mengfei thought for a moment and then said, "Actually, we might as well try cooperating with Xu Sanmin now, after all, he is really capable."

Not wanting to be prejudiced, Xiang Yuntian agreed to Bai Mengfei's suggestion.

So the two left the morgue and went straight back to the police station.

At this moment, the police were investigating the disappearance of the male corpse, and Xu Sanmin stood aside to help analyze the situation.

However, they encountered a thorny problem.

The body seemed to have vanished into thin air. The surveillance footage did not record anyone entering the morgue except for Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, nor did it show anyone pushing the body out.

Hearing their bizarre tales, Bai Mengfei's curiosity was piqued, and she quietly walked over to listen.

Because of her petite stature, no one noticed her at first.

It wasn't until a policeman stumbled upon her that he was truly startled, as they had no idea when she had arrived.

Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly came over to help Bai Mengfei out of the predicament. He clapped his hands and said, "Alright, are you all very free? You still have time to make a fuss over such a trivial matter."

Bai Mengfei finally breathed a sigh of relief and slowly took a few steps back.

All eyes turned to Xiang Yuntian, who was clearly protecting Bai Mengfei.
