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

Chapter 498 Consideration

Bai Mengfei paused for a moment, lost in thought, before speaking again: "Moreover, based on my understanding of the murderer's methods, I believe he is indeed someone with criminal investigation skills, as you guessed. However, we cannot conclude that he is the person in charge of this case based solely on this."

"Really, otherwise how could he know where we live and find us so easily?"

Bai Mengfei felt that Xiang Yuntian's words made some sense, but then she suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, there's an important clue that we haven't investigated yet!"

Xiang Yuntian immediately pressed, "What clue?"

Bai Mengfei said seriously, "Surveillance! We haven't investigated the surveillance system in that area yet, have we?"

Xiang Yuntian thought Bai Mengfei's words made sense and nodded secretly.

They then went to the police station together to review the surveillance footage.

However, when they checked the surveillance footage of that area, they found that the footage appeared to have been tampered with, with the screen filled with static.

"How could this happen?" Bai Mengfei asked the staff.

The staff member speculated, "It's most likely a software problem. Unfortunately, we don't have any specialists here to fix it at the moment."

“It’s alright, I know someone who can handle it,” Bai Mengfei said, looking at Xiang Yuntian.

Xiang Yuntian understood what she meant, so he called Jiang Shuai.

Jiang Shuai has now been discharged from the hospital and has become much more restrained, often spending time in VR experience centers.

At that moment, he was wearing VR glasses and experiencing a roller coaster when he felt his phone vibrate. He then took off the glasses and answered the call.

"Hey, Yun Tian, ​​what do you need me for?"

"Jiang Shuai, how is your recovery going? Are you feeling better?"

"Much better!" Jiang Shuai said with a smile. "I'm having a great time at the VR experience center. Why don't you come and try it out if you're free!"

"No!" Xiang Yuntian refused. "Actually, I'm looking for you because I need your help with something."

"What is it?" Jiang Shuai's tone immediately became serious.

Xiang Yuntian took a deep breath and said seriously, "I've run into a bit of a problem here. Could you come over? I need to use your skills to fix something."

Jiang Shuai said without hesitation, "No problem, leave it to me!"

Shortly after, Jiang Shuai arrived at the police station. It was already past five in the afternoon. He smiled and said to Xiang Yuntian, "Looks like I can still get a free meal here!"

"Alright, stop joking around. Hurry up and see if you can fix the surveillance camera." Xiang Yuntian said seriously, "This matter is of utmost importance to us. Whether we can find the murderer depends on this surveillance footage."

Jiang Shuai immediately nodded, raised his right hand to make an "OK" sign, and said, "No problem!"

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shuai began to carefully examine the contents of the monitoring screen.

"That's strange, how could this happen?" Jiang Shuai seemed to have rarely seen such a situation either. "Could it be that the hardware is broken? But it doesn't seem like it. It looks more like those videos have been deleted."

The staff member nodded quickly and said, "Yes! I also think the video from that time period was deleted. But I don't know if it can be recovered; I doubt it!"

While the staff were speaking, Jiang Shuai quickly opened his browser, downloaded some software, and confidently smiled, "If the video really was deleted, that won't stump me. The murderer's knowledge in this area is definitely very weak, or even ignorant. He doesn't know that for data like this, as long as the hard drive isn't damaged, the content is just overwritten by new data and won't be completely lost."

After the software finished downloading, Jiang Shuai waited for the deleted video data to be automatically restored.

The restored video showed a scene where a furtive person wearing a hoodie was walking down the aisle.

Jiang Shuai couldn't help but comment: "I knew he was an amateur. If he wanted to destroy the surveillance footage, why didn't he just destroy it in the first place? Why did he only come back to delete the video afterwards!"

Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian stared quietly at the man on the surveillance screen, wondering who he was and what he was doing there.

Just as Bai Mengfei was engrossed in watching, Xiang Yuntian suddenly asked, "What do you think of this person?"

"Huh?" Bai Mengfei snapped out of her daze. "What did you say?"

Xiang Yuntian chuckled softly and said with a hint of helplessness, "Judging from this guy's physique, I feel he should be a man."

“That’s right! I think so too. And he seems quite familiar with the environment here.”

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's assessment, Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly in agreement.

The three of them studied the surveillance footage until dinner time, then went to the cafeteria for a meal. During the meal, Jiang Shuai kept saying that he was bored lately and wanted to stay and help.

However, Xiang Yuntian ultimately refused him, telling him that this was not the place for him.

Jiang Shuai had no choice but to leave.

That night, only Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian remained in the dormitory.

Bai Mengfei had a feeling that the mysterious person would return, so she couldn't fall asleep. At the same time, she was very curious about why that person was doing this. After all, that person had every opportunity to kill them, yet didn't do so either time.

Because this question had been bothering her, she asked Xiang Yuntian, "Don't you find this strange? What do you think his motive was?"

Xiang Yuntian shook his head secretly and said in a low voice, "I don't know."

Bai Mengfei said helplessly, "Alright."

Afterwards, she continued to think about this question seriously.

After a long period of deep thought, she went to the table, first wrote down the relationships between the people involved in the case, and then held the pen, pondering quietly.

Xiang Yuntian was exhausted after a long day of travel and went to bed early.

Late at night, Bai Mengfei remained at her desk, quietly watching for any movement from the window. However, the mysterious person did not appear.

She couldn't understand why the killer would drug them if they didn't want to kill them.

It wasn't until dawn that she suddenly realized: perhaps the murderer came to check if they were there first to ensure everything went smoothly before committing the crime, and also to drug them.

Thinking of this, Bai Mengfei couldn't help but frown slightly.

After getting up, she decided to go to the morgue immediately. She was that kind of decisive person; she would do whatever came to mind right away.

Because she was worried about leaving Xiang Yuntian alone in the dormitory and feared he might be in danger, she woke him up.

Moreover, Xiang Yuntian came by car, so he could drive her to the morgue.

The time before dawn is the darkest moment of the day. Therefore, Xiang Yuntian must turn on his low beam headlights when driving.

Halfway there, Xiang Yuntian said to Bai Mengfei, "Actually, you really should reconsider that matter."
