Chapter 515 Inquiry
Chapter 515 Inquiry
At this moment, Zhang asked again, "By the way, Master, do you know that forensic doctor Bai?"
Bai Mengfei couldn't help but chuckle to herself, saying, "Before I entered this profession, Forensic Doctor Bai had already been murdered. When she was at the height of her fame, I was only a few years old. How could I possibly know her?"
"That's true." Zhang Jie then stopped asking any further questions.
After the two left Zhao Fei's office, Bai Mengfei took Zhang Jie and walked out of the police station.
"Master, isn't it inappropriate for us to run out like this during working hours?"
“We’re investigating a case, there’s nothing wrong with that. Captain Zhao will understand, he’ll turn a blind eye,” Bai Mengfei said confidently. “Stop arguing, let’s drive!”
Afterwards, Bai Mengfei asked Zhang Jie to follow her to the place where she used to live.
"Where is this?" Zhang asked, full of curiosity.
Seeing his curiosity, Bai Mengfei explained, "This used to be the home of Forensic Doctor Bai."
"Ah? How did you know?"
"Who is she? Her address is no secret." After saying that, Bai Mengfei took a key from under the doormat and opened the door.
The chapter then pressed on with curiosity, "Then how did you know the key was hidden here?"
"Because most people would do that," Bai Mengfei said, offering an excuse.
Although Zhang Que was somewhat skeptical, he had no other choice but to believe it. After all, at this point, there was no point in disbelieving.
After opening the door, Bai Mengfei walked in with practiced ease, saying, "Let's go in."
Zhang hurriedly grabbed her and asked, "What are we doing here? Are we thieves?"
“If you think there’s anything here worth stealing.” After saying that, Bai Mengfei rolled her eyes at him. “We’re just here to borrow something.”
What do you need to borrow?
“Some of the statements she made before she died. It is said that she always made statements before she died.” After saying this, Bai Mengfei prepared to go into the bedroom.
Chapter caught up again and asked, "How did you know where the thing was hidden?"
"I don't know, it's just a girl's intuition. Put yourself in my shoes, okay? Aren't you annoying? I knew I shouldn't have brought you!"
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Zhang Jie fell silent.
Bai Mengfei went to the bedside table and took out the notebook.
She used to sit on this bed, put her notebook on the blanket, and write down important things. After she finished, she would habitually put these things in the bedside table drawer.
After successfully retrieving the notebook, she had Zhang Jie draw back the curtains and then found the page about the wealthy businessman Xia Dongchi. The contents recorded here were definitely more detailed than the police reports and files, because much of it was Bai Mengfei's analysis based on intuition.
"Wow! There are so many different ideas in this notebook!" the author exclaimed in surprise after a quick glance at the chapter.
Bai Mengfei did not respond, but quietly looked at her previous reflections on the case after performing autopsies.
The notes mainly proposed five investigative plans, analyzing the case from the perspectives of crime of passion, revenge killing, and homicide. Xia Dongchi's cause of death was multiple stab wounds, one of which pierced his stomach, causing gastric bleeding and death.
According to the police investigation at the time, Bai Mengfei ultimately ruled out the possibilities of a crime of passion or robbery, and only suspected a revenge killing.
She handed Bai Mengfei's notebook to Zhang Jie and said, "Take a look at this; it might help you solve the case."
After reading the chapter, he said, "Not necessarily. I think the forensic doctor's analysis is a bit one-sided."
Upon hearing that Zhang had actually denied his past self, Bai Mengfei frowned and asked, "Are you even more capable than her?"
"I wouldn't say she's exceptionally skilled, but it's unreasonable to dismiss possibilities like crimes of passion or robberies based solely on these facts. Take robbery, for example: the perpetrator might have been burglarizing a home but accidentally killed someone, thus failing to commit the robbery. What do you think? Forensic pathologist Bai is indeed very skilled at autopsies, but when it comes to solving cases, I think she's too easily misled by appearances."
Bai Mengfei thought Zhang's words made sense and nodded secretly, saying, "What you said makes sense. Do you have any good insights?"
"I don't have one, but there is one person who might," Zhang Jie said confidently with a smile.
Bai Mengfei looked up at him suspiciously and asked, "Who?"
"Xia Yun! She's Xia Dongchi's relative!"
"Since she's a distant relative, would she know anything about the situation?" Bai Mengfei asked suspiciously.
“She should know,” Zhang Jie said uncertainly. “Actually, I’m not too sure either. But she’s not only a distant relative of Xia Dongchi, but also, like me, Xia Dongchi’s neighbor. I remember some of the details of that case. It was midnight when I suddenly heard a few screams, and then I went back to sleep. Later, the police came. But Xia Yun was probably a light sleeper at the time, or she was more concerned about this matter, so she knows more than I do.”
Bai Mengfei thought the chapter made sense, so she nodded secretly and said, "Then let's go find Xia Yun now."
"Let's ask again when we get back tonight. After all, this case happened so long ago, there's no rush."
Bai Mengfei immediately grabbed his ear and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"
"Hurry! Hurry! Let go! Let go!" Zhang cried out in pain.
After Bai Mengfei let go, Zhang Ju rubbed his ear, frowned, and muttered, "I was just expressing my opinion, did you have to pull so hard? My ear almost got pulled off!"
"I feel like you always like to go against me!" Actually, Bai Mengfei had been used to Xiang Yuntian always going along with her.
Zhang shrugged helplessly and said aggrievedly, "Okay, I'll listen to you from now on."
The two returned to the villa complex and saw Xia Yun hanging out laundry.
Xia Yun, who was on the balcony, saw them return and said in surprise, "Hey, it's only Thursday, why are you leaving get off work so early?"
"It's not time to leave work, I have something to ask you," Zhang Jie shouted.
Xia Yun thought something good had happened, so she immediately put down her clothes and ran downstairs.
After running downstairs, Xia Yun sat in the living room, obediently waiting for Zhang Jie and the others to come in.
Seeing her like this, Zhang's face darkened, and he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
"Didn't you want to ask me what I like?" Xia Yun asked back with a smile.
Zhang took a deep breath and said with a helpless wry smile, "No, you misunderstood. Actually, I wanted to ask about the case."
After speaking, Zhang Jie turned to look at Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly, stepped forward, and said to Xia Yun, "Xia Yun, do you know Xia Dongchi?"
"Yes, I know him. He's my cousin's uncle. What's wrong?" Xia Yun's smile gradually disappeared.
