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

Chapter 318 Interrogation

"Sigh! I guess I misspoke! Zhang Ting, you can go out now!" Zhao Fei shook his head and sighed, a pained look on his face. "Anyway, you understand what I mean, which is to solve this case as soon as possible."

Bai Mengfei didn't want to say anything more and turned to leave. But just as she opened the door, she suddenly remembered something and turned back. In that instant, she was surprised to find Zhao Fei clutching his stomach.

"Captain Zhao, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Bai Mengfei asked with concern.

Now that things had come to this, Zhao Fei had no choice but to tell the truth: "Sigh, I was in so much pain last night, I felt like I was going to die. I guess I ate something I shouldn't have. I've lived for decades and I've never felt this bad before."

"Then we can't delay any longer." With that, Bai Mengfei walked straight over, a move that startled Zhao Fei.

"What are you going to do?" Zhao Fei's expression changed, and he asked in a panic.

"Let me take your pulse!" Bai Mengfei said.

Zhao Fei exclaimed in surprise, "You can do this too?"

“Of course, as forensic doctors, we need to master a lot of knowledge.” As she spoke, Bai Mengfei had already taken Zhao Fei’s pulse and was also carefully observing his expression.

After all, she is now using the diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine, which emphasizes observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation.

"Captain Zhao, you likely have gastroenteritis," Bai Mengfei said. "This illness can range from mild to serious. You'd better see a doctor sometime to prevent it from worsening!"

"Huh?" Zhao Fei was surprised. "I thought you were only good at reading dead people, but I didn't expect you to be so good at reading living people as well. I've had gastroenteritis for many years, but it seems to be particularly bad lately."

Bai Mengfei released his wrist, nodded, and said, "Yes, this illness can't be delayed. And you need to pay attention to rest and not overwork yourself. How can you work overtime every weekend like this? You need to take care of your health first so you have the energy to investigate the case. Take good care of yourself."

After saying that, Bai Mengfei was about to leave when she remembered the question she wanted to ask earlier. So she turned back and asked, "By the way, Captain Zhao, I was going to ask you earlier, why are there so many cases lately?"

"As I told you before, the European competitions caused many people to lose money."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei suddenly realized and said, "I understand now. That's why many people have an unbalanced mentality and a distorted mind." At the same time, she thought of a crucial question: Although Cai Qi had a high income and was not short of money, could it be that he also did such a thing because he lost money gambling?

Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei hurriedly asked, "Captain Zhao, could you have someone check Cai Qi's financial situation? I want to know if he has any debts or anything like that."

"This should be searchable. I'll have someone look into it and let you know later."

"Okay, I'll be going now. Take good care of yourself and get some rest." After saying that, Bai Mengfei hurriedly left Zhao Fei's office, because Cai Qi and the others were still waiting for her in the interrogation room to conduct the interrogation.

Upon arriving at the interrogation room, Bai Mengfei saw Cai Qi drinking coffee.

Cai Qi appeared quite relaxed, seemingly enjoying the environment.

Bai Mengfei couldn't help but smile and asked, "Director Cai, it seems you quite like it here?"

"No, not at all!" Cai Qi put down his coffee cup and looked around. "It's just that this is the first time I've ever been to a place like this. I'll treat it as a special adventure, and it feels pretty good."

Bai Mengfei pulled out a chair and slowly sat down between Wang Tian and Xiang Yuntian. She looked up at Cai Qi, who was waiting for interrogation, and said with a smile, "It seems you have quite a bit of leisure time!"

"Just a little bit," Cai Qi said with a smile. "After all, life is full of hardships. Birth, aging, sickness, and death are one of them, and there are also many pressures in life. If you can't let go of these things, how can you live happily?"

Bai Mengfei thought what he said made a lot of sense and admired his optimistic attitude towards life. So she stopped putting on airs and agreed in a friendly tone, "That's right, mindset is indeed very important. However, let's get back to the main topic, after all, time is precious."

“Okay, Forensic Doctor Zhang, please ask whatever you want. I will tell you the truth as long as I know it.” Cai Qi’s attitude remained very cooperative.

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "That's right, this case involves two murders, so the police and we are taking it very seriously."

"Two people died? What killed them?" Cai Qi asked curiously. "The real culprit hasn't been caught yet, right? That's why you suspect me!"

Every word he uttered seemed to proclaim his innocence.

However, whether she was innocent or not naturally needed to be determined through investigation. Therefore, Bai Mengfei was not swayed by his words, nor did she care about his attitude, but continued to ask questions.

"Okay, now we'll ask you a few questions as usual, shall we?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Cai Qi nodded immediately and said, "Okay."

Do you remember where you were around 10 p.m. on the 4th of last month?

"The 4th of last month?" Cai Qi looked up, recalling carefully.

Bai Mengfei reminded her, "That was the time when the first victim was murdered."

"Oh." Cai Qi responded, but shook her head. "I'm not quite sure. But normally I should be at home."

"Home? Which home? It shouldn't be where you live now, right?" Bai Mengfei asked with a smile.

Cai Qi nodded quickly and said, "Yes, not here. I only moved here on the 11th of this month, so I was in my old place before."

At this time, the investigation team had found the relevant information and brought it in to give to Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei quickly glanced at the document, understood all the information, and then handed the document to Wang Tian, ​​who was sitting next to her.

The reason she can see things so quickly is not because she was born with it, but because she learned it through hard work in her previous life.

Forensic medicine may seem simple, but although it only has three characters, the amount of knowledge it contains is generally enough for students in this major to study for ten years.

Bai Mengfei completed her master's degree at the age of 25, and thanks to her previous efforts, she naturally developed the ability to read ten lines at a glance.

She had already memorized everything, while Wang Tian was still studying it word by word, and even after reading it, she might not be able to remember it.

Despite being highly suspicious of Cai Qi, Bai Mengfei remained calm and composed.

As she recalled what she had just seen and remembered, she said, "Director Cai, you used to live in a villa overlooking the river. How did you end up moving to a house that doesn't even have a rooftop? And you have to climb eight flights of stairs every day. Aren't you tired?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Qi took a deep breath but couldn't answer for a moment.

Bai Mengfei pressed her advantage, continuing, "You have no debts, so you shouldn't be in such a sorry state. That villa is still under your own name. It doesn't make sense to move there instead of living in a perfectly good villa."
