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

Chapter 306 Analysis

Zhao Fei became nervous when he saw that Bai Mengfei's arm was indeed injured.

After all, Bai Mengfei is a key figure in the police station. If something were to happen to her, the efficiency of solving cases would definitely drop significantly.

"How did you hurt your hand?" Zhao Fei asked with concern.

Bai Mengfei glanced at the wound, gently lowered her hand, letting it hang naturally at her side, and then shook her head. She didn't want to talk about what had just happened.

Zhao Fei understood her thoughts and didn't ask any further questions. After all, everyone knew her personality well; if you wanted to get along with her, you had to respect her wishes, since she was unyielding to both soft and hard approaches.

After Xiang Yuntian brought the medical kit, Bai Mengfei thought things through and came to a conclusion. She asked Zhao Fei to send all the other forensic doctors away from the main office, leaving only Xiang Yuntian and Zhao Fei. She planned to tell them the whole story, because the three of them had known each other for a long time, and in Bai Mengfei's mind, they were trustworthy.

After everyone had almost left, Bai Mengfei spoke up, "You must all be very curious about how I got this injury, right?"

Xiang Yuntian was kneeling in front of her, carefully bandaging her wound. Hearing her say that, Xiang Yuntian immediately looked up at her, but didn't speak. Because he knew he had to wait for her to speak for herself.

Bai Mengfei continued, "Actually, it's very likely that the murderer did it."

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Fei, who had been standing to the side with his hands on his hips, suddenly panicked. He quickly lowered his hands, stepped forward, bent down, and asked, "The murderer? Which murderer? The serial killer, or..."

Before Zhao Fei could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei replied, "It's very likely the murderer in the case we're currently investigating." She emphasized the last few words. Because she knew that without solid evidence, all deductions were merely hypotheses.

As she spoke, she saw that Xiang Yuntian had already bandaged her wound, and the bandaging was very meticulous.

So she turned around, opened the drawer of her desk, and took out some documents.

She casually tossed the documents onto her desk, then opened them and showed them to Zhao Fei and Xiang Yuntian, saying, "I suspect that the thug who came to assassinate me is very likely the murderer who killed Mo Mei and Jiang Xia."

Zhao Fei stood to the side, arms crossed, lost in thought. He had some doubts: was Bai Mengfei's guess really correct? If her guess was right, then the murderer was far too impatient, wasn't he?

He sensed a contradiction, so he held up his right hand, pointed to the file, and said, "Look, this killer only commits a crime every three weeks. We noticed him as early as when he murdered Mo Mei. Someone who can commit another crime every three weeks should be very patient and composed. How could he possibly attack you at this time? Wouldn't that just expose himself?"

What Zhao Fei said seemed to make a lot of sense, so Bai Mengfei did not refute it and remained silent.

Xiang Yuntian, who had always supported Bai Mengfei, considered her perspective and said, "Not necessarily. The murderer could indeed do that. Captain Zhao, put yourself in the murderer's shoes. If he did that, wouldn't it be a surprise attack, catching the victim off guard?"

"Hmm, what you said makes sense." Zhao Fei said this, not wanting to ruin everyone's relationship, but in his heart he still felt that something was strange about this matter, and the possibility of the murderer doing this was too small.

The three of them stared at the file in silence for a while. Zhao Fei casually said, "I have other things to do. You guys continue your research!" With that, he made an excuse to leave. Actually, he didn't have anything to do; he just felt his views differed from Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian's, so he decided to hand the case over to them and stay behind the scenes. This way, if the case was solved, he could reap the rewards; if problems arose, the responsibility would fall on the two of them.

Seeing Zhao Fei leave like that, Bai Mengfei understood what had happened, but she didn't say anything.

After all, she did so much just to solve the case, not to claim credit.

Xiang Yuntian was somewhat dissatisfied and spoke the truth directly: "Team Leader Zhao is really a cunning old fox. He actually abandoned us at this time."

"Never mind." Bai Mengfei unconsciously revealed the tone she used when she was Xiang Yuntian's mentor. "He did his best. And when we handle cases, the most important thing is to be true to our conscience and to live up to the original intention of choosing the profession of forensic medicine."

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian's face flushed slightly, because he also had his own secrets that he hadn't told Bai Mengfei.

In fact, when he was learning autopsy from Bai Mengfei, he had thought about giving up and going into business with his parents or choosing another industry.

But he only persevered until now after realizing he had fallen in love with Bai Mengfei. So his initial motives were not as pure as Bai Mengfei's. She was wholeheartedly trying to seek justice for the dead and overturn wrongful convictions, while he was pursuing Bai Mengfei.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei sensed that something was wrong with Xiang Yuntian standing beside her, so she turned her head and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No!" Xiang Yuntian quickly turned his face away, avoiding Bai Mengfei's gaze, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go eat!" Bai Mengfei didn't ask any more questions. She closed the file, put it back in the drawer, and carefully locked it with a key. "By the way, you should also be careful. Regardless of whether that criminal is the culprit in this case, since he's already targeting us, it's best to be cautious."

"Yes, I know," Xiang Yuntian replied softly, taking a step back to make way for Bai Mengfei.

As the two left the police station, Bai Mengfei saw Old Chen again at the station entrance.

The moment their eyes met, Old Chen quickly lowered his head, clearly trying to avoid their gaze. To be fair, Old Chen was a veteran criminal investigator and quite familiar with them; his reaction was rather unusual.

Xiang Yuntian found it strange, and unlike Bai Mengfei, he wasn't as calm. So he stepped forward and stopped Old Chen, greeting him, "Old Chen, what's wrong with you? You don't even greet us now?"

"Really?" Old Chen forced a smile.

Xiang Yuntian crossed his arms, stared sharply at him, and said confidently, "Of course! Don't forget, I'm an expert in criminal psychology."

Upon hearing the word "crime," Old Chen's body involuntarily trembled, and quite violently. Although the weather was cold, Old Chen was dressed warmly; why was he trembling at this particular moment? Clearly, he felt guilty.
