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

Chapter 173 Continue the Autopsy

Xiang Yuntian slowly put his hands into his pockets, lost in deep thought.

He frowned, pondered for a while, then slowly took a deep breath and said, "Now that you mention it, I also think that man is not very suspicious. But as forensic doctors, we can't just rely on guesswork when investigating cases; we need to produce solid evidence."

“That’s right, so what are your thoughts?” Bai Mengfei asked intentionally.

Xiang Yuntian, who had been trying to maintain a composed and mature demeanor, couldn't keep up the act for a moment in front of her.

He couldn't help but laugh out loud, raising his right hand to scratch his neck, and said somewhat shyly, "The idea isn't particularly brilliant, it's just to keep investigating. I believe that after repeated investigations, we'll eventually find the answer. However, the body can't be kept for too long, so we need to hurry."

“We definitely need to hurry.” Bai Mengfei replied while starting the autopsy. “After all, there’s another case that hasn’t been solved yet. If we can’t solve this case, we might end up losing on both. So we need to speed up this case and get to the bottom of it as soon as possible.”

Xiang Yuntian completely agreed. He responded in a low voice, then turned his head to look intently at the corpse and began a detailed investigation.

Working together, they discovered that the female victim had bitten her tongue before she died.

With the help of tweezers, by pulling the female victim's tongue out slightly, it became clear that there was a wound on her tongue, which was white and somewhat constricted.

After reading it, Bai Mengfei frowned and turned to Xiang Yuntian, asking, "Why do you think the murderer made her bite her tongue?"

"Perhaps she bit herself. The way she bit herself, it looks like she was trying to commit suicide by biting her tongue. But why would she do that?"

Just as Xiang Yuntian was filled with doubt, Bai Mengfei guided him by asking, "Have you checked if she had any illnesses before? Could it be that she suddenly fell ill and bit her tongue?"

"That's unlikely," Xiang Yuntian said solemnly.

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, at a loss for what to do, so she put her hands in her pockets and stared quietly at the corpse.

She firmly believed that after a person dies, although the body is broken into pieces, it seems to retain some kind of spirituality.

In the past, when solving cases, she would often stare at the corpse in a daze, just like now, and as she looked at it, she would come up with clues that she would never have thought of even if she tried her best.

However, just as she was engrossed in watching, Xiang Yuntian suddenly shouted "Hey!" from the side, which startled her.

She quickly turned around, her eyes filled with surprise.

"What's wrong?" she asked anxiously.

Xiang Yuntian let out a slow sigh before saying, "What are you looking at? You seem completely mesmerized. In my opinion, this is just an ordinary crime of passion, nothing special."

“No, I don’t think so. Although that man is highly suspicious, and he had an argument with her before he died, based on the character we saw him in at the time, do you think he could have done such a thing?” Bai Mengfei countered.

Xiang Yuntian frowned, pondered for a moment, and said, "It's probably unlikely, but who can say for sure? If I were in his situation, I might have been so angry that I really wanted to kill him."

Bai Mengfei suddenly realized that even if she and Xiang Yuntian discussed it until dawn, they probably wouldn't get to the bottom of it.

She glanced at her watch and realized it was already past 2 a.m.

It's really late. Even if you're working overtime, you can't stay up all night, since you have to go to work tomorrow.

So, she resumed the mature and composed tone she used to have with Forensic Doctor Luo, and said to Xiang Yuntian, "Let's go back and rest first, we have to go to work tomorrow. Let's put this matter aside for now, I think your autopsy report should be almost finished by now."

"It's written, but I think there are still quite a few places that need to be revised."

In truth, Xiang Yuntian just wanted to spend more time alone with Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei saw through this little scheme at a glance.

However, she simply smiled and didn't say anything.

Xiang Yuntian realized from Bai Mengfei's expression that his thoughts had been seen through.

He was immediately embarrassed and quickly tried to save face: "But it's the same to revise it at home. It's getting late, if you want to rest, I'll take you home first."

Bai Mengfei suddenly realized that where she was currently living was quite far from Xiang Yuntian's house, and it wouldn't be on his way to take her back.

It's so late, whether we can even get a taxi is a question, and it would be even more troublesome if we encountered an unlicensed taxi.

So she made a rational decision and said to Xiang Yuntian, "How about I stay at your place for the night? Your place shouldn't be rented out yet, right?"

Xiang Yuntian was overjoyed, but he maturely restrained his excitement and said, "It hasn't been rented out yet, shall we go?"

At that moment, he felt that this was the first time in so many days that he had experienced happiness.

Because he felt that Bai Mengfei seemed to be showing signs of changing her mind.

"Actually, I think people shouldn't overthink things sometimes."

In the car, he finally couldn't help but bring up their past with Bai Mengfei, saying, "I agree with something you said before: that everything is a gift from heaven. So you're no different from ordinary people. Ordinary people also have ups and downs, and may encounter accidents. You understand what I mean?"

Bai Mengfei naturally understood, and nodded slightly to herself, saying in a deep voice, "I understand. To put it bluntly, you're still not giving up. But I don't want to talk about this topic tonight. Don't bring it up again, or I'll get out of the car now and walk back myself."

Xiang Yuntian knew that persuading her would not be easy, but he firmly believed that nothing is impossible for a willing heart.

So he secretly made up his mind that he would never give up on the girl beside him.

Because the thoughts that this girl possessed were unique to Bai Mengfei.

The feeling Bai Mengfei gave him at this moment was the most precious thing in the world to him, something he wouldn't trade for a thousand pieces of gold.

Around 3 a.m., the two finally returned home.

"Have a seat for a while, I'll take a shower and then tidy up the room for you."

After Xiang Yuntian finished speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the bathroom.
