Chapter 475 Too Late
“That’s right!” Wang Tian stepped forward and added, “Furthermore, let’s think about it from the perspective of those two visitors. Since these two people who came to visit are smoking expensive cigarettes, their status must be quite prominent. And without a doubt, they had already been in contact with Ye Feng before we arrived.”
A thought suddenly flashed through Bai Mengfei's mind, and she said, "Maybe they were still in the house when we left. After all, we didn't go inside to check."
Following Bai Mengfei's conjecture, Xiang Yuntian continued to ponder, saying, "If that's the case, then when Ye Feng came out to throw away the trash, he specifically glanced at our car, perhaps wanting to convey some message to us. And these cigarette butts might be a hint or an explanation for why he acted so unwelcoming to us."
"That's highly likely!" Wang Tian suddenly exclaimed excitedly. "No wonder he repeatedly emphasized that he and his daughter had no relationship anymore, and claimed that he knew nothing and told us not to ask. Maybe those words weren't meant for us, but for the so-called VIPs in the room!"
Xiang Yuntian also thought it made a lot of sense, so he continued his analysis along this line of reasoning: "I think that among those VIPs, there might be the richest man in the country, Lian Zheng."
Bai Mengfei suddenly realized: "So, isn't Ye Feng in great danger right now? If what we've deduced is true, and Ye Feng knows the other party's secret, then the other party might very well kill him to silence him!"
"That's possible!" Wang Tian declared immediately. "So we have to get back right away!"
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian hurriedly followed Wang Tian's footsteps.
The three of them returned to Ye Feng's residence that very night.
They pounded on the door so hard they almost broke it, but no one came to open it, and a sense of unease welled up in their hearts.
Bai Mengfei turned to look at Xiang Yuntian and said, "The situation doesn't seem too good."
Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, then quickly raised his right foot and kicked the door open. As soon as the door opened, a strong smell of blood rushed out.
Xiang Yuntian frowned and turned to look at Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei also turned her head, her expression solemn. Both of them understood that Ye Feng had likely met with misfortune, a fact they kept to themselves.
At that moment, Wang Tian followed the pungent smell of blood into the house. As soon as she entered, she let out a terrified scream: "Ah!"
Upon hearing the shouts, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian immediately ran inside.
Ye Feng was dead, hanging from the ceiling fan. At first glance, it looked like he had committed suicide.
Bai Mengfei slowly walked forward and, with Xiang Yuntian's assistance, put Ye Feng's body down.
After placing the body down, Bai Mengfei used the simplest method: she placed her finger in front of his nose to check. She confirmed that he was indeed dead.
Wang Tian was stunned. Bai Mengfei reminded her, "Call the police quickly."
Wang Tian then came to her senses and hurriedly took out her phone to dial the police.
Before the police arrived, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian, relying on their professional habits, began a preliminary surface examination of the body.
"Do you really think he hanged himself?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian examined the body carefully, then shook his head and said uncertainly, "I can't be sure either. But based on the current situation, I think he was murdered. Although his death appears to be a normal one, he must have struggled when he was strangled."
"So you think he was strangled?" Bai Mengfei pressed.
Xiang Yuntian nodded affirmatively and pointed to the marks on Ye Feng's neck, saying, "I can vaguely see what look like two strangulation marks, and there's a faint mark next to them."
“That’s right! This rope is crucial evidence!” Bai Mengfei said, then asked, “Did you bring silver nitrate?”
Xiang Yuntian understood that Bai Mengfei wanted to check if there were fingerprints on the rope, but he didn't have any with him, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Bai Mengfei felt this was reasonable, so she didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment, Wang Tian was carefully examining the scene and found it unusually clean.
After seeing this, Bai Mengfei asked, "Did you find something?"
Wang Tian stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Bai Mengfei, shook her head, and said, "No, I didn't find anything."
Bai Mengfei immediately looked around and also noticed that the place was unusually clean. She slowly stood up, smiled slightly, and said, "This is strange."
"What's strange about it?" Wang Tian asked, puzzled.
Bai Mengfei said with a serious expression, "The strange thing is that this place is too clean. A famous criminal psychologist once said that the absence of physical traces at the scene makes it more suspicious."
After hearing this, Wang Tian nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, I also think this place is very suspicious. Alas, it's a pity that it should have been wiped clean."
Just then, police sirens sounded outside.
When the police arrived, they quickly cordoned off the scene. However, the scene had been cleaned up so thoroughly that they were unable to find any clues at the moment.
One of the policemen walked up to Xiang Yuntian and asked, "Senior brother, what should we do now?"
"Let's take the body back first. But don't take it to the morgue, send it to the police station. We believe this is not suicide, but homicide, so this case is a criminal case and should be handled by our forensic department, with the criminal investigation department in charge of the investigation."
The policeman looked around and said, "Really? This place is so clean, it doesn't look like a crime scene at all. Besides, this old man is so old, who would kill him? And judging from the way he died, he probably hanged himself."
Bai Mengfei smiled gently and asked, "If you can make a judgment with just one glance, then what's the point of having forensic doctors? Don't you think so?"
The policeman nodded in agreement, shrugged, and smiled, saying, "That seems to make sense."
"Good. Don't say anything more, hurry up and take the body back. Be careful, handle it gently, and don't damage the body," Bai Mengfei instructed.
The police officer then called his colleagues to bring a body bag, carefully placed the body inside, and loaded it into the car.
Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian, and Wang Tian followed in their car, escorting the vehicle carrying the body back to the police station to prevent the body from being tampered with en route.
