Chapter 467 Come to the door
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly and said with a focused expression, "That's right. There were no signs of the victims being dragged at the scene, and their fingernails were clean. The situation was so urgent that the murderer didn't have time to deal with these details. This shows that this is the primary crime scene, and the condition of the victims' bodies has not been tampered with."
Xiang Yuntian wholeheartedly agreed, nodding slightly and saying, "That's absolutely right."
As Bai Mengfei turned her head, another thought flashed through her mind. She said, "However, judging from the wounds, although each of the deceased had only one wound, they must have been stabbed more than once."
Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but retort, "You mentioned this before, and even used a piece of pork as an experiment. Indeed, every stab was in the same spot. But what else does that prove besides the killer's exceptional skill?"
“In such a tense situation, the murderer’s precision with each stab is truly remarkable.” As she spoke, Bai Mengfei straightened up and stood up.
Turning her head, she thought of a crucial question and asked, "By the way, did you confirm the deceased's identity today?"
"Yes, Xiao Xu said that the two of them are notorious thieves. They usually only make their move when they have their eyes on priceless treasures. This pair of thieves, a male and female, are quite famous in the underworld."
"A pair of master thieves?" Bai Mengfei lowered her eyes slightly and murmured softly, "Then their skills should be quite good. But there are no signs of poisoning on them, so why couldn't the two of them dodge the murderer's knife? Even if they stood there like pork and let the murderer stab them, it's impossible for the murderer to hit the same spot every time, right?"
Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Xiang Yuntian suddenly chuckled and said, "Didn't you say not to think so much? Look, even you can't help but think about things unrelated to the corpse itself."
“No!” Bai Mengfei gently shook her head and said seriously, “This is reverse reasoning, using reverse thinking. We can start from this illogical situation and rethink whether the cause of death was really just being hit by a knife.”
After hearing this, Xiang Yuntian nodded in agreement, saying, "Indeed, this is indeed contrary to common sense."
Seeing that there were no more clues to be found in this place, Bai Mengfei stepped into the inner hall. Xiang Yuntian silently followed behind her, saying as they walked, "Actually, it's better that people like that are dead. After all, our police have been chasing them for so many years and still haven't been able to catch them, right?"
“But even if they are caught, I don’t think they deserve to die,” Bai Mengfei said softly.
Xiang Yuntian retorted, "Who said that? Some of the treasures they stole are priceless. And it's said that some of them were even sold abroad. That's selling out national treasures! I think even executing them ten times wouldn't be enough to atone for their crimes. Now that they've been stabbed to death, that's their fate."
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei immediately raised her left hand, signaling Xiang Yuntian to stop talking.
Xiang Yuntian immediately understood her meaning, so he stopped talking, only sighed inwardly, and said, "I understand. Our duty is to find the murderer, so let's not worry about anything else."
“That’s right.” Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, then walked towards the only table in the hall. It wasn’t an ordinary table, but an altar.
However, there was only an incense burner on the offering table, and no spirit tablet.
Xiang Yuntian followed, looking at the empty, bare hall, and couldn't help but say, "I really don't understand how they could have stolen from here. There's nothing here. Sigh, stealing is one thing, but they also lost their lives here."
Bai Mengfei glanced at the offering table and said, "Let's not think about these things for now. The most urgent thing is to examine the scene."
Xiang Yuntian, however, couldn't suppress his thoughts and suddenly asked, "What do you think the murderer's identity is? I suddenly have a feeling that he might be an evil spirit guarding this place?"
"Don't talk nonsense," Bai Mengfei said immediately.
Xiang Yuntian quickly moved closer and said seriously, "I'm not making this up. Think about it, the way the deceased died was so bizarre, and both of them died like that. In reality, if it was just a stab in that spot, one stab wouldn't be enough to kill. So when the murderer was about to stab again, whether it was you or me, if we were the deceased, we would definitely fight back, right? But the wound looks like the same wound, which is too illogical."
Although Bai Mengfei appeared to be carefully observing the offering table, she was actually listening attentively to Xiang Yuntian's analysis.
After hearing what Xiang Yuntian said, she also felt that his speculation made some sense.
However, Bai Mengfei did not respond to him directly. After all, in contemporary society, most tales of ghosts and gods are unfounded.
Xiang Yuntian continued, "If the murderer really is some kind of evil spirit, then there's no point in investigating this case anymore. There's simply no way to investigate it. Even if we did find out, we can't just catch a ghost to explain ourselves, can we?"
"Do you really believe in ghosts?" Bai Mengfei asked doubtfully.
Xiang Yuntian replied firmly, "I believe you."
Bai Mengfei, however, still harbored doubts and said, "Let's take another look. Maybe we'll discover something new?" With that, she slowly walked to the foot of the table, wanting to examine it further.
Just then, a group of people walked in from outside.
Before even seeing anyone, they heard voices. The man in the sharp suit leading the way shouted, "Who let you in without my permission?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Mengfei immediately turned her head. The person who walked in was none other than the richest man in the area—Lian Zheng.
I never expected that Lien Cheng would take time out of his busy schedule to come here.
Bai Mengfei then stepped forward and politely said, "Hello, we are forensic doctors."
"Forensic pathologist?" Lian Zheng walked into the hall, his face showing displeasure. "Why don't you properly examine the bodies in the morgue instead of coming here and messing around?"
The group of men and women in suits behind him were also watching Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian with predatory eyes.
Xiang Yuntian hurriedly stepped forward and explained, "Mr. Lian, you may not know this, but as forensic doctors, in addition to examining corpses, investigating crime scenes is also part of our job. It rained here this morning, and the crime scene was damaged to some extent, so we..."
Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, Lian Zheng frowned and said angrily, "This is absurd! Didn't the forensic doctor already investigate? If they found that their deaths were related to me, you would have taken me to the police station for questioning long ago!"
“We didn’t say this case was related to you. We’re just here to investigate as a routine matter,” Bai Mengfei explained patiently.
But Lian Zheng was furious and said fiercely, "Don't try to intimidate me with official business! I've seen your police tactics all too many times!"
"is it?"
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly, lowered her head slightly, and fell silent.
