Chapter 399 Investigate by Yourself
Chapter 399 Investigate by Yourself
Just as Bai Mengfei was pondering to herself by the tracks, Zhao Fei suddenly strode over and pulled her back.
"Captain Zhao, what happened?" She finally snapped out of her thoughts.
Zhao Fei looked her up and down suspiciously, his face full of concern, and said, "You don't look too well. Has everything been too stressful for you lately?"
“No!” Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head. “I’m thinking about this case!”
“There’s no need to investigate this case anymore; the murderer is definitely Shengyang!” Zhao Fei said with absolute certainty.
Bai Mengfei immediately frowned, her face full of doubt, and said, "It couldn't be him, could it?"
Zhao Fei pulled her aside, saying as they walked, "It's him! Think about it carefully, the point of contention is between him and Li Zhijie, and Li Zhijie's girlfriend, Yingmei, was implicated because she was also there!"
“Your analysis does make some sense, but my intuition tells me that the murderer is someone else!” Bai Mengfei said.
Zhao Fei ignored Bai Mengfei's words and continued, "Later, Shengyang realized that we had traced him back to him and tried to escape. He ran here and saw the uniformed staff. He thought we were the police coming to arrest him, so he committed suicide out of fear of punishment!"
But is the truth really that simple? That seems too illogical.
After pondering for a while, Bai Mengfei felt there were many suspicious points, so she said, "But the murder weapon has not yet been found, which means there is no physical evidence and no witnesses! All of this is just your speculation, Captain!"
Zhao Fei, eager to close the case quickly, said, "That's right! So now that the suspect is dead, there's no way to verify the facts, and the case should end here!"
Bai Mengfei wanted to argue a few more points, but Zhao Fei said in a very fast voice, "Alright, that's enough! I firmly believe that's how the case went. I'll go back now to write a report and submit it! This way, we can give the higher-ups an explanation, and the higher-ups can also give the public an answer!"
Bai Mengfei remained somewhat stubborn, her brows furrowed as she tried to argue, but Zhao Fei gently patted her arm, then turned and left.
Bai Mengfei could only stand there blankly.
Afterwards, colleagues came and took the body back.
She arrived shortly afterward and went to the morgue to conduct a detailed examination of Shengyang's body.
Indeed, Sheng Yang is highly suspicious, and he seems to be concealing some key facts.
However, Bai Mengfei's principle in solving cases is that she will never let any victim die unjustly!
She first examined the body's exterior and found that Shengyang indeed had no other strange injuries. She also tested the traces with acetic acid, but found no abnormalities on the skin.
So she drew blood from the femoral vein for further study. The results showed that scopolamine was also detected in Sheng Yang's blood.
She quickly compiled a report, then went to Zhao Fei's office and handed it to him.
Who would have thought that after reading the report, Zhao Fei would say this: "Both the female victim and the suspect have tested positive for this alkali, which means that there is likely an unusual relationship between the female victim and the suspect, Sheng Yang. Therefore, this case is very likely a crime of passion!"
Bai Mengfei couldn't help but correct her, "Captain Zhao, you know that's not what I meant! What I meant was that Shengyang could also be one of the victims! And this scopolamine might not have been ingested by them themselves, but rather fed to them by someone else!"
Despite Bai Mengfei's explanation, Zhao Fei firmly opposed her point of view and retorted, "Impossible! Think about it, if it were fed, injected, or forced to take, you should be able to detect it, right?"
“We can’t find anything! Because it’s not poison!” Bai Mengfei shook her head gently, somewhat helplessly. “Captain Zhao, can you calm down? I know you’re worried about your future and don’t want your years of hard work to go to waste! But the truth is just as important!”
Zhao Fei thought quietly for a while, but still insisted on his decision. He said to Bai Mengfei, "You don't need to investigate this case anymore! Isn't Forensic Doctor Shao still in the hospital? I'm giving you a week off now. Go to the hospital and take good care of him until he's fully recovered. Go!"
Bai Mengfei finally understood: Zhao Fei was still the same as before; he would disregard everything in order to solve the case and keep his position.
She glared at Zhao Fei a few times with hatred, and only said one sentence: "You'll regret this!"
After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Fei to refute her again, she turned around in a fit of anger, slammed the door, and left.
After leaving the office, she walked alone in the police station corridor, feeling somewhat lost and even beginning to doubt whether she had made the right choice in selecting this major.
He thought that becoming a forensic doctor would allow him to redress the grievances of the deceased, just like Song Ci, the chief criminal investigator of the Song Dynasty. However, he did not expect to receive the support of his superiors.
But as she reached the door, she suddenly had a change of heart.
What difference does it make whether Zhao Fei agrees or not?
She has never relied on her identity to intimidate people, but on her real abilities to solve cases!
Therefore, she firmly believed that she would be able to find out the truth.
As for Zhao Fei, she couldn't care less anymore; it was his fault for disobeying her. Once the truth came out and the real culprit was caught, Zhao Fei would definitely be held accountable by his superiors.
Bai Mengfei thought to herself: At that point, I can just quit my job.
Without hesitation, she walked out of the police station and hailed a taxi. She wasn't going to the hospital, but rather to Shengyang's home to see how his wife was doing.
If what Shengyang said is true, then he is dead, and his wife will likely suffer serious injuries and be hospitalized in the next few days.
If the murderer is going to make a move, he will inevitably get close to her. And the truth will then come to light.
Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei said to the driver, "Sir, please drive faster!"
Upon arriving at Shengyang's house, Bai Mengfei went up and rang the doorbell. However, no one answered the door after ringing it for a long time.
Is the doorbell broken?
Or is no one home at all? Could it be that Shengyang's wife, Qi Han, has already met with some mishap?
Bai Mengfei became increasingly worried, so she rang the doorbell harder.
Just then, a cold voice came from behind: "Forensic Doctor Zhang, did you look for me?"
Hearing the sound, Bai Mengfei immediately turned around and saw Qi Han standing behind her. Bai Mengfei quickly turned around, walked forward, and said, "I'm so glad you're alright!"
"I'm fine!" Qi Han shook her head gently, a look of frustration on her face.
