Chapter 139 Another Case

"For the notes I'm about to ask you to take, just focus on the key points, understand?"

Bai Mengfei turned her head, and as she prepared to personally perform the autopsy, she said with a serious and professional expression.

"Understood!" the detective replied immediately.

Bai Mengfei softly responded with an "Mm," then turned around and began to carefully examine the body.

The examination proceeded from the skull, pupils, mouth, and neck all the way down to the soles of the feet.

After conducting a thorough and detailed examination, she worked with the criminal police to record a great deal of crucial information.

"This case is not an accidental death caused by a house fire, but a murder case."

Hearing Bai Mengfei's assessment, the detective somewhat agreed, but looking at her young age, he couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked with a scrutinizing gaze, "How can you be so sure?"

"When I first came in, I used ultraviolet light to detect that the ground was reddish-brown, you saw that too, right?"

"This indicates that there was blood on the ground before, which is why it was that color. If you don't believe me, you can draw the curtains, and I'll test it for you again using the luminol effect, or you can verify it using any method you know."

These are professional skills that only forensic doctors usually know. How could a rookie criminal police officer possibly understand them?

However, since Bai Mengfei's explanation sounded plausible, he chose to believe her.

Immediately afterwards, Bai Mengfei, wearing white gloves, gently pried open Tong Qian's cheeks and said with a serious expression, "Look at the mouth of this female victim. Did you find anything?"

Upon hearing this, the detective instinctively leaned over to examine the tooth, but after looking for a while, he only said, "Besides a cavity, there's nothing unusual, is there?"

“Yes, it’s precisely because it seems ordinary that it looks strange.” Bai Mengfei released Tong Qian’s cheek, stood up, and shone her flashlight on the detective’s face, asking seriously, “Don’t you really think something’s wrong?”

The detective quickly raised his hand to shield his eyes from the glaring light. Just as he was about to complain, he inhaled a mouthful of polluted air and coughed violently.

Bai Mengfei simply stared at him coldly, without saying a word.

Just then, the detective suddenly realized what Bai Mengfei meant.

"I understand. If the deceased was burned to death, there would definitely be soot or something in her mouth, right?"

“That’s right,” Bai Mengfei replied confidently.

But then the detective thought of another possibility and said, "Wait a minute, what if Tong Qian's mouth was covered with a wet towel when she died?!"

"The body was burned to a crisp. Do you think she could have held a wet towel over her mouth before she died? And look, where is the wet towel?"

Hearing Bai Mengfei's words, the detective was speechless.

Indeed, even if Tong Qian covered her mouth with her hand when she died, her body would still maintain the corresponding posture. However, this was not the case at the scene, so this was clearly a homicide.

After the two of them figured out the situation, the detective immediately recorded this important clue and then said with a puzzled look, "But she had no parents, no brothers or sisters, and she didn't seem like the kind of person who would argue with others. Why was she killed?"

"You'll have to investigate that yourself. Do you expect me to do it?" Bai Mengfei retorted coldly.

The detective quickly smiled apologetically, swallowed hard, and said, "No, no, no, of course I'll investigate."

He then actually began to investigate the case.

Bai Mengfei naturally stayed at the scene to conduct the examination, after all, she was a professional female forensic doctor.

During the on-site investigation, she discovered something quite strange: there were traces of semen or similar substances left at the scene.

So she turned to look at Tong Qian's corpse, lost in thought.

This case is most likely a case of sexual assault followed by murder of the female victim, and the perpetrator should have known Tong Qian, or at least had a one-sided acquaintance with her.

After all, Tong Qian has an ordinary appearance. If there were no special reason, why would the murderer target her?

Just as Bai Mengfei was about to tell the detective about this clue, she suddenly noticed something else on the ground.

A document that was burned and only half of it remains.

Bai Mengfei immediately became interested, as she was always very sensitive to this kind of clue.

So he quickly walked forward, bent down and picked up the document that was burned down to just one corner.

This looks like a certificate issued to her by the school, but why did it end up here?

Out of curiosity, Bai Mengfei turned to look at Tong Qian lying on the ground.

Could this case be related to Tong Qian's school?

This possibility is indeed very high.

So Bai Mengfei quietly put away the documents, then went outside to hand them over to the detective.

As soon as I came out, I saw Zhao Fei, so I simply handed my ID to him.

Zhao Fei has learned that this is a premeditated murder case, and Bai Mengfei has found strong evidence.

Seeing Bai Mengfei hand over her identification and say that the matter might be related to the female victim's school, he couldn't help but take out a cigarette and smoke it silently.

Seeing Zhao Fei's troubled expression, Bai Mengfei immediately asked, "Captain Zhao, what's wrong?"

“I’ve investigated this school before; it’s a key school in the city. Investigating it now won’t be easy. There are many complex interests involved, which you can’t understand at your age. If an investigation is conducted, it will have a huge negative impact on the school.”

"If something is really found out, which parent would dare to send their child to that school in the future?"

Bai Mengfei felt very unhappy after hearing this.

What do you mean by "young people don't understand"?

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath to calm herself down and retorted, "So, does that mean we shouldn't investigate? That's a bit like dereliction of duty, Captain Zhao. Let me tell you, everyone is equal before the law. Even if the mayor's son committed murder, in this day and age, he would still go to jail."

Zhao Fei listened to Bai Mengfei's words and thought they made sense, so he reluctantly agreed.

But he didn't want to get involved in person, since his nephew had just been admitted to the school and he was afraid of offending the principal.

"Then I'll send Lao Yu and the others later, how about that?" Zhao Fei said in a consultative tone.

Because Bai Mengfei retained her past professional skills, which were beyond doubt, even Zhao Fei had to give her some face.

Bai Mengfei thought about it for a while before reluctantly agreeing.

After all, this case is a first-degree murder. The murderer deliberately set fire to the house after killing the victim. Once the murderer is caught, the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied. It must be taken seriously.
