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

Xiang Yuntian didn't find anything wrong with the other party's reaction; on the contrary, he thought it was quite normal.

After all, any ordinary person would be terrified if they encountered a murder case. Especially with several cases happening in the city recently, to put it bluntly, people are starting to feel insecure. These days, very few people go out at night.

This is also the source of the pressure everyone is under now in solving the case; we must solve it as soon as possible!

Having said all that needed to be said, Xiang Yuntian nodded and said, "We have no other questions for you. Please take good care of yourself and get some rest."

"Okay, thank you," the station director replied with a sigh of relief.

Just as Xiang Yuntian was about to leave with Bai Mengfei, Xu Sanmin surprisingly decided to leave as well.

After the three left the office, Xu Sanmin asked impatiently, "What are your thoughts on this case?"

"Judging from the modus operandi, it is not difficult to determine that the murderer is clearly the same person as the murderer in the previous serial killer case."

"But at the moment, it's hard to say why he would do that."

As Xiang Yuntian spoke, his brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.

When the case was brought up, even though he hadn't had a proper rest for several days, he instantly became energetic and exuded a calm and profound aura.

Even Bai Mengfei, who was walking to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "Is this really the same person I used to lead?"

He's truly surpassed his teacher, seemingly even more dedicated than when he was investigating cases himself.

At this point, Xu Sanmin asked again, "Do you think the murderer will continue to commit crimes?"

"Definitely."

"By the way, what are your thoughts on your end?"

The two were like playing blindfold chess, and Xiang Yuntian would respond politely.

Xu Sanmin pursed his lips and pondered for a long time before saying, "Judging from the murderer's methods, his skills are more sophisticated than last time, and he has become bolder."

"Not only that, I feel that his mentality is gradually expanding. Perhaps it is because we have been unable to keep an eye on him, which has inadvertently fueled some of his extreme mentality."

Bai Mengfei largely agreed with Xu Sanmin's words, but she was somewhat puzzled by his last sentence.

Out of curiosity, Bai Mengfei asked softly, "What extreme mentality?"

Xu Sanmin pondered for a moment and explained, "The so-called extreme means that when a person goes to the extreme in a certain aspect, they will become a pervert. So what I want to express is that this murderer is definitely a pervert."

"You don't need to tell me, of course I also..." Xiang Yuntian stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, because he saw a familiar face.

Fang Kai and his assistant were seen hurrying towards them from the other end of the hall, talking as they walked.

At this moment, Fang Kai looked up and saw Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian.

He hurried over, a broad smile on his face, and said, "Hey, what are you doing here too?"

Seeing Fang Kai's overjoyed expression, as if he had met an old friend of many years, Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to take Bai Mengfei over to exchange pleasantries with him.

Bai Mengfei looked at Fang Kai and felt an inexplicable sense of unease and awkwardness.

“We’re here to investigate a case. What are you doing here?” Xiang Yuntian asked.

Fang Kai chuckled, glanced at his assistant, and said, "I'm here to investigate the case too, and I want to give the public the truth. I just went to the host's office and took some photos, and I got quite a few. There are still some bloodstains in there that haven't been cleaned up yet."

Upon hearing this news, Xiang Yuntian and Xu Sanmin said in unison, "Take us there to take a look."

After all, important clues are likely to be left at the crime scene.

Fang Kai readily agreed.

However, when they arrived, they were both somewhat disappointed, because it was clear that this was not the primary crime scene.

The drag marks left by the murderer indicate that the body was dragged in from outside, nothing more.

Bai Mengfei noticed a detail that others had missed—the corner of the wall.

Judging from the slight bend in the wall, she deduced that the murderer must have dragged the body out first and then deliberately dragged it back in, trying to mislead the investigation.

Xiang Yuntian and Xu Sanmin did not realize this.

Xiang Yuntian commented, "It seems the culprit is most likely an employee. Otherwise, it would be impossible to clean up the drag marks in such a short time. Only someone very familiar with this place could do it so quickly."

As they were talking, Xiang Yuntian didn't notice that Fang Kai chuckled to himself.

But Bai Mengfei saw it and found the smile particularly strange.

However, she didn't make a fuss and just observed silently.

As she stared at Fang Kai, she instinctively felt that he was likely the murderer.

Because Fang Kai gave her the impression that he was dishonest and not as kind as he appeared on the surface.

One can glean some insight from his skill in picking locks with wire.

But Bai Mengfei was a forensic doctor before, and she knew that everything had to be based on evidence, not just guesswork.

Just as she figured all this out, she mustered up her courage and spoke her mind, looking at Xiang Yuntian and saying, "Not necessarily. I think this was done intentionally by the murderer. This should be the location of the first crime."

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Fang Kai's expression instantly darkened.

If anyone noticed, they would definitely find his reaction strange, or at least very abrupt.

However, no one, including Bai Mengfei, noticed this.

Xu Sanmin did not believe this and dismissed Bai Mengfei's reasoning, saying, "No, I think it makes sense. The murderer is very likely someone from the TV station. We can investigate in that direction."

Xiang Yuntian respected Bai Mengfei's opinion, and even in his heart, he overturned his previous conclusion.

He knew Bai Mengfei's personality; when faced with a murder case, she generally wouldn't make a definitive judgment. But if she brought it up, it meant she must have discovered some evidence.

After the three said goodbye to Fang Kai and left together, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian parted ways with Xu Sanmin outside the door.

Before even getting into the car, Xiang Yuntian looked at Bai Mengfei and said, "What you said makes sense. I've thought about it carefully just now, and I think the possibility you mentioned is more than fifty percent."

"Right?" Bai Mengfei felt a surge of pride for no apparent reason.

Xiang Yuntian smiled slightly and said, "That's right, and my previous deduction was indeed too hasty. I was almost misled by the murderer. He deliberately led us to look for the truth in another direction, which was actually misleading us."

As they got into the car, Bai Mengfei subtly and tactfully expressed her guess, indirectly asking Xiang Yuntian, "What do you think of Fang Kai?"

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's question, Xiang Yuntian naturally understood what she meant.

He looked down at Bai Mengfei with suspicion in his eyes, trying to confirm her thoughts from her gaze.

For a moment, he was unsure how to answer.
