Chapter 312 Poisoning
Unfortunately, a careful examination revealed that Chu Anguo's tongue and mouth had not turned black, so there seemed to be insufficient evidence to suggest that he died of poisoning.
"Call the police," Bai Mengfei decided decisively. "Call Captain Zhao immediately and have him take the body back to the police station for a thorough examination."
"Okay." Xiang Yuntian agreed, then took out his phone and dialed Zhao Fei's number.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao Fei immediately led his men over, carefully packed up Chu Anguo's body, and took it away.
The next day at noon, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian finished their respective work, such as writing reports, and took some time to go to the morgue to check on Chu Anguo's body.
After Grandma Jiang identified the deceased, it was confirmed that he was Chu Anguo.
Because of Chu Anguo's passing, Grandma Jiang felt even more that it was a misfortune for her family, as if God wanted to destroy the Jiang family. She was heartbroken and cried her heart out at the police station, even wishing that God would take her away with him.
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian also felt sorry for Grandma Jiang, but as forensic doctors, they could not be swayed by too much subjective emotion, so as not to affect the objective judgment during the autopsy. Therefore, the two did not offer much comfort.
Bai Mengfei silently vowed in her heart: "I must find the murderer, uncover the truth, and let every victim be exonerated and rest in peace in the afterlife."
Afterwards, Xiang Yuntian saw Grandma Jiang off, while Bai Mengfei returned to the morgue to begin a detailed examination of Chu Anguo's body.
In fact, at first, she also suspected that Chu Anguo had died of poisoning.
There were too many people at the scene, so a comprehensive and detailed inspection could not be carried out immediately.
The body has now been brought here and is beginning to show signs of post-mortem changes, but thanks to Bai Mengfei's keen insight, the deceased's condition before death is still hard to escape her notice.
She began to assume that Chu Anguo had been poisoned before he was hit by the car, so she took out professional equipment to extract and test the already coagulated blood.
The investigation revealed that the blood did indeed contain cyanide, and the killer had cleverly used another chemical to cover up the traces of poison, making it impossible to see any signs of poisoning on the body's surface.
Just as Bai Mengfei was focused on her investigation, Xiang Yuntian suddenly walked in and asked, "How's the investigation going? Have you found anything?"
Bai Mengfei becomes particularly timid when she is fully focused, and she was startled when she heard Xiang Yuntian's voice.
She quickly turned to look at Xiang Yuntian, breathed a deep sigh of relief, and said, "I found something, but you almost scared me to death."
"You're afraid?" Xiang Yuntian frowned and asked with a face full of curiosity.
Bai Mengfei rolled her eyes at him and said confidently, "Of course! Don't you know that I become timid when I focus?"
"Alright." Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, stepped forward to look at the test results, and said, "My God! I told you he died of poisoning, didn't I? Did you find any needle marks or anything like that on his body?"
"Why do we need to look for the pinhole?" Bai Mengfei asked, puzzled.
Xiang Yuntian thought for a moment and explained, "Because I checked his mouth before, and his tongue was not black."
"Does this prove that the poison wasn't taken orally?" Bai Mengfei said, turning to walk towards Chu Anguo's corpse. "Actually, every judgment we make is crucial."
Xiang Yuntian immediately followed behind, saying as he walked, "Yes, I know that."
"It's good to know." Bai Mengfei smiled slightly. "So never jump to conclusions. Only after repeated checks and verifications can we arrive at reliable results."
As she spoke, Bai Mengfei had already walked to the body. She gently pinched Chu Anguo's cheek, making him open his mouth.
As soon as Chu Anguo opened his mouth, she took out a test strip that she had already put in her pocket and stuck it into Chu Anguo's throat.
After a while, when the test strip was taken out, it had turned black.
"How could this be?" Xiang Yuntian stared at the test strip in disbelief.
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, turned to look at him, and said, "Isn't it obvious?"
Xiang Yuntian raised his right hand, scratched his temple with his middle finger, and said with some confusion, "But how did you come up with that idea? Besides, even if it's oral poison, what's the difference between it and injection? In any case, there must be other hidden details in this case."
Bai Mengfei smiled, lowered her head, looked at Chu Anguo's seemingly normal-colored fingernails, and said, "This requires the criminal police to analyze. Our task is to find out the truth."
Xiang Yuntian looked again at Chu Anguo's seemingly serene face and said somewhat sadly, "But isn't he the murderer? Sigh, I'm so confused! What exactly happened?"
"Do you really want to know?" Bai Mengfei looked up at him.
He nodded without hesitation and said firmly, "Yes!"
"If you want to know, go and discuss it with Captain Zhao. Don't stop me from continuing my testing here." Bai Mengfei's words were actually sarcastic, but Xiang Yuntian didn't understand at all.
Xiang Yuntian thought Bai Mengfei really wanted him to discuss it with Zhao Fei, so he turned and left.
After sensing that Xiang Yuntian had walked away, Bai Mengfei turned her head and watched his receding figure.
After watching quietly for a while, she sighed helplessly.
She then quickly returned to her work, continuing her examination of Chu Anguo's body. She left no detail overlooked, meticulously examining even his toes, leaving virtually no pore unchecked.
Because she knew that the culprit behind this must be very meticulous.
We cannot assume that the murderer only took this step because Chu Anguo had taken a highly poisonous pill before his death. The murderer may have injected other drugs into him to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Therefore, Bai Mengfei dared not slack off in the slightest, carefully examining every part of the body, her gaze covering almost every corner of the corpse.
Just as she was about to finish examining Chu Anguo's feet, she discovered two cracks on the toenail of Chu Anguo's little toe.
She clearly remembered that when she examined Chu Anguo's toenails before, there were no two cracks.
"How could this be?" she muttered to herself, then found the photos she had taken during the previous on-site investigation and compared them.
The results showed that Chu Anguo's toenails did not have such cracks before!
In other words, these traces appeared after Chu Anguo's death. However, with her solid forensic knowledge, Bai Mengfei knew that such a reaction would not occur in either the early or late stages of a person's death.
