Chapter 220 Various Doubts
Chapter 220 Various Doubts
After everyone got out of the car, Bai Mengfei looked up and saw that a cordon had been set up in front of her, and many police officers were maintaining order at the scene.
Bai Mengfei was always very perceptive. She smelled the odor in the air and turned her head to see a lot of vomit next to the tree, which was obviously left by the deceased.
Bai Mengfei didn't pay much attention to it, but she made preparations in her mind.
She walked towards the police cordon first, with Xiang Yuntian silently following behind her. Once they reached the police-sealed area, she showed her identification.
Other forensic experts had arrived at the scene, but none of them dared to conduct in-depth research and investigation on the body.
Because the scene was simply too terrifying.
After crossing the cordon, Bai Mengfei saw blood everywhere, mixed with crushed internal organs such as the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys.
In addition, she found some small, granular objects on the ground. After crouching down to examine them closely, she discovered that they were plastic.
After examining the scene, she stood up and surveyed it as a whole. The scene was extremely gruesome, and the darkness and dim lighting added to its eeriness.
This place is also very damp!
Upon approaching, Bai Mengfei asked the forensic doctor at the scene, "Have you found any clues so far?"
A forensic doctor wearing a mask shook his head and looked at her, saying, "Not yet, we can't even confirm the identities of the female victim and the driver. However, we initially suspect that this is likely a robbery-murder case, because the victim died from a stab wound, and judging from the wound, the murder weapon should be a rather blunt kitchen knife."
"Okay, thank you." These clues weren't of much value to Bai Mengfei, so she decided to investigate personally.
Xiang Yuntian also entered the scene, but he was frightened when he saw the terrifying scene at first glance. He stood by the cordon and was stunned for a moment.
Needless to say, Wang Tian was even more outstanding.
She thought she could handle it, but when she arrived at the scene, she couldn't hold it in and, like many police officers, ran over to vomit.
Such a scene would make any normal person feel nauseous. There was urine and other filth on the ground, and the whole place was a mess.
After Bai Mengfei examined the area carefully, a male police officer approached.
The male police officer in charge of the case, serving as the team leader, is surnamed Qu.
After introducing himself to Bai Mengfei, he calmly recounted the ins and outs of the case, including when witnesses discovered it.
The case was reported at approximately 7:05 PM, meaning the perpetrator likely committed the crime in broad daylight.
Bai Mengfei hummed in agreement, then said, "Identifying the deceased is crucial now, but didn't you find any other clues at the scene?"
"No," Officer Qu said. "Moreover, we called all the taxi companies to inquire, and we didn't find any drivers who failed to hand over their shifts on time."
“That’s a bit strange,” Bai Mengfei said.
"Actually, this is not inexplicable. We later inspected the taxi and found that it was a scrapped car that had been repainted and modified. In other words, the taxi driver was likely an imposter."
Officer Qu immediately said, "But what's strange is that the car doesn't have a license plate. Normally, even if it's a counterfeit vehicle, it would at least have a fake license plate, wouldn't you say?"
Bai Mengfei agreed and nodded slightly.
Using a fake license plate might not attract attention or be quickly discovered. A car without a license plate, driving on the road, is much more likely to draw attention. Therefore, this behavior is indeed very unusual.
Officer Qu continued, "Another suspicious point is that the deceased did not have a wallet, cell phone, or other valuables on him. So after discussing it with the forensic doctor, we felt that this was very likely a robbery-murder case."
"Then why did you call Captain Zhao?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Officer Qu smiled and said, "Because I remembered a news report that said your bureau is investigating a series of murders, and the killer dismembered the bodies. So I wanted to ask if this case was committed by the killer you are investigating. I didn't expect that Captain Zhao would send you to assist in the investigation."
“Yes, that’s right.” Bai Mengfei nodded gently: “We’ve been investigating that case and are quite familiar with the details, so Captain Zhao asked us to come over.”
As she spoke, Bai Mengfei glanced around the horrific scene and said, "But I don't think this was done by the murderer, because the murderer wouldn't chop a person into such pieces, and he would also take away certain things. Besides, I think this case is more like the work of an unprofessional person."
"What do you mean by unprofessional?" Officer Qu asked urgently.
Seeing that Bai Mengfei and Officer Qu had been chatting for so long, Xiang Yuntian felt a little jealous, so he walked over and said, "The murderer we're investigating has a very professional modus operandi; he wouldn't use a dull kitchen knife."
"Oh, I see. But who are you?" Officer Qu asked, puzzled.
"My name is Xiang Yuntian, and I am a forensic doctor who often assists Captain Zhao in handling cases."
"My name is Qu Ying, nice to meet you," Officer Qu said with a smile.
After getting to know each other, Xiang Yuntian deliberately walked between the two, separating them, and said to Qu Ying, "For this case, we need to conduct a new on-site investigation. Alternatively, we can leave. After all, we are currently on vacation, and although this case seems to be related to the murderer, it is not. I believe that someone committed murder and then deliberately tried to frame the murderer who has been at large."
Upon hearing this, Qu Ying frowned slightly and asked, "Really?"
Bai Mengfei stepped out from behind Xiang Yuntian and said to Qu Ying, "That's a possibility. We've encountered similar murderers before, who tried to frame the serial killer after committing murder. This shows that the murderer in this case must be a meticulous person."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian seemed to be inspired and asked Bai Mengfei, "If that's the case, then why didn't he choose a sharp knife? Why did he use a dull kitchen knife and chop the deceased up like that?"
Bai Mengfei pondered Xiang Yuntian's question carefully, frowning as she fell into deep thought.
"This is to cover it up!"
She then replied with a serious expression, "The murderer must be deliberately trying to conceal something, perhaps his true intelligence, and thus his identity. However, the most urgent task right now is to find out the identities of the two victims. I think this case is very likely a revenge killing, which is why the murderer was so ruthless, dismembering the victims to pieces!"
