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

Chapter 156 Gathering

"you sure?"

Bai Mengfei turned her head coldly, her gaze as sharp as an eagle's.

This experienced police officer was actually stunned by her gaze.

It's not surprising, really, as Bai Mengfei's own experience and knowledge are not to be underestimated.

"Of course I'm sure. I've crossed more bridges than you've walked roads." The policeman boasted shamelessly, "Young lady, don't disbelieve me. Let me tell you, Ma Lifeng definitely drowned."

Bai Mengfei gave a helpless bitter smile and turned her head away.

This policeman looks to be only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. In terms of actual age, Bai Mengfei is actually a few years older than him. He really overestimates himself.

Since that's the case, Bai Mengfei examined the body while challenging him: "If I can prove that this body didn't drown, what are you going to do?"

"Then I'll quit being a policeman and go home to farm."

The policeman patted his chest and said with absolute certainty.

Bai Mengfei rarely showed a smile.

Just then, Xiang Yuntian also received orders to come and examine the body.

The renowned forensic doctor, Dr. Xiang, arrived at the scene. The policeman rushed over, pulled him aside, and said, "Dr. Xiang, you've come at the right time. I was just making a bet with one of your new girls. She insists that Ma Lifeng's body didn't drown. Look, his stomach is full of water, and there's mud and sand in his mouth. Can you determine the real cause of death?"

Xiang Yuntian was hurriedly pulled over, and when he saw Bai Mengfei also examining the body at the scene, his steps unconsciously slowed down. "Okay, fine."

As he approached, Xiang Yuntian glanced at Bai Mengfei, his gaze seemingly seeking her opinion. Bai Mengfei, who also missed him dearly, lowered her eyes and did not object.

As he approached, Bai Mengfei felt a sense of familiarity, for he always carried the scent of herbs. Why did he have this smell? It was the residue left from years of using herbs to wash his body to remove the stench of corpses, mixed with a hint of musk, which had become Xiang Yuntian's unique scent.

After glancing at Bai Mengfei, Xiang Yuntian carefully examined the body and concluded: "Preliminary assessment indicates that the deceased had been dead for more than 48 hours, or more than two days. The preliminary cause of death is drowning."

"See? Even forensic doctor Xiang says so, what else can you say?" the policeman said smugly.

Bai Mengfei smiled slightly, stood up, and said only, "Take another look." After saying that, she turned and walked away.

Xiang Yuntian was indeed watching, but his gaze remained fixed on her departing figure, never wavering.

He stared at the body for a long time until a policeman next to him waved his hand in front of his eyes, which brought Xiang Yun back to his senses, and he continued to focus on the corpse. At this moment, he noticed something unusual about the corpse's ankle. The wound did not look like it had been cut by a reef; the cut was too clean.

Therefore, he also began to doubt the true cause of death of the body, and said to the policeman next to him: "I am now starting to suspect that this body did not drown by accident, but was deliberately murdered and a false appearance was created to deceive people. I have to take this body back for a careful examination."

"Huh? No way!" The policeman's mouth dropped open in surprise: "So that little girl guessed right?"

"Little girl? She's amazing, even more amazing than me. You know, girls are generally more meticulous than boys."

“We boys are often careless, while they can often find key clues from the details.”

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's assessment, the police officer immediately felt ashamed and silently lowered his head.

After bringing the body back to the examination center, Bai Mengfei saw that Xiang Yuntian still hadn't noticed the key issue, so she had to step forward and remind him, "Take a closer look at the deceased's ears."

"Ears?" Xiang Yuntian leaned closer to examine them and found water inside.

After all, the body had only been recovered recently.

"There was a lot of mud and sand in the mouth of the corpse, but the ears were so clean. Is that normal?" Bai Mengfei further pointed out.

"I understand. To determine the true cause of death, we need to perform an autopsy."

Xiang Yuntian suddenly realized and said, "If there is no mud or sand left in his throat, it means that it was stuffed in after he died."

"Yes, there are actually many details about the deceased that can prove he was deliberately murdered, rather than accidentally drowning. If you pay attention, you will definitely be able to find them."

Hearing that Bai Mengfei was willing to communicate with him, Xiang Yuntian was overjoyed.

He gave a soft "hmm," then reverted to being the boy he always was, asking in an almost pleading tone, "Would it be alright if you came back to live here? I've gotten used to having you around."

Bai Mengfei, however, worried that she might not have much time left and feared that if she suddenly disappeared one day, it would break Xiang Yuntian's heart. Therefore, she decided to keep her distance from him.

"No, habits can be changed. They say it takes 21 days to form or change a habit."

No sooner had Bai Mengfei finished speaking than Xiang Yuntian retorted excitedly, "That's completely unscientific. What do you mean by changing habits in 21 days? If that were true, how come I still can't get used to life without you after all this time?"

Xiang Yuntian's words hit the nail on the head, and Bai Mengfei said bluntly, "Since you understand, have you ever thought about what you would do if I were really gone one day?"

Hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian was speechless. He could only lower his head and keep saying "no," but in the face of life and death, he knew he was powerless and unable to fight against fate.

Seeing his dejected appearance, Bai Mengfei felt a pang of pain in her heart. She swallowed hard and turned to leave.

Just then, Xiang Yuntian suddenly suggested, "Actually, we can investigate this matter more thoroughly. I believe your existence is not accidental, but a scientifically based inevitability. If we can find out the truth, perhaps you can stay forever."

forever?

This was nothing more than Xiang Yuntian's wishful thinking; Bai Mengfei wouldn't even dare to dream of it.

So, Bai Mengfei sighed inwardly and resolutely left.

Despite her seemingly carefree departure, she was actually in immense pain inside. The tears she was trying so hard to hold back were about to spill over at any moment.

She never imagined she would be so sad, but wouldn't it be too selfish not to?

This young man was heartbroken for her and spent a whole year in a slump.

The same tragedy could repeat itself at any time.

All Bai Mengfei could do for him was to make him give up on her, someone who might suffer misfortune, as soon as possible, so as to avoid further pain in the future.
