Chapter 427 Special Case

Before they knew it, the two had carefully examined the scene for another half day. Finally, they confirmed that there were no more clues to be found at the original scene and then left the house where the crime occurred.

Upon returning to the police station, they were summoned to the morgue by Captain Zhao. Strangely enough, they heard that Zhao Fei was also waiting for them in the morgue.

As soon as they entered the morgue, Zhao Fei said to them, "I called you here because I have something very important to tell you."

The two were already very curious, so they asked in unison, "What is it?"

Zhao Fei remained silent for a moment, composed himself, first looked up at Xiang Yuntian, then at Bai Mengfei, and slowly said, "Actually, I know the male corpse inside."

Bai Mengfei initially thought Zhao Fei was referring to the corpse of the young and strong middle-aged man, so she asked, "Was it your friend?"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Fei's gaze fell on the elderly male corpse, and he said, "No, I know him, but only I know him, he doesn't know me at all. I checked his background today. I originally thought he was just an ordinary worker, but I didn't expect that he had a top-secret file. He used to be a leader's bodyguard."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Could it be that this identity is what brought this deadly disaster upon their family of five?"

"That's possible, which is why I'm here and asked you two to come see me immediately."

Zhao Fei said with a worried look, "I'm telling you his identity now because I want to say that the higher-ups are taking this case very seriously. They hope we can solve the case and catch the murderer within half a month."

"Half a month?" Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment and said, "That depends on whether you've found any clues on your end."

Zhao Fei pondered for a moment, then shook his head with some regret and said, "I haven't found any clues yet. Actually, there are many strange things about this case."

"What's strange about it?" Bai Mengfei pressed.

Zhao Fei turned his head, his gaze sweeping over the five corpses one by one, and then said, "Just now, I led a team to question the surrounding residents, who are the neighbors of these five dead. But they not only said they didn't see anyone suspicious, but also claimed they didn't hear any screams. You know, that building is old and dilapidated, and the soundproofing isn't very good."

Xiang Yuntian was aware of this as well, and nodded slightly.

Bai Mengfei thought about it carefully, then walked straight forward, stretched out her right hand to examine the deceased, and said as she looked, "They looked quite peaceful when they died. Could it be that the murderer drugged them before killing them?"

"Drugs?" Zhao Fei somewhat agreed with Bai Mengfei's speculation and excitedly stepped forward. "Then what kind of drug do you think the murderer might have used?"

"It might be something like triazolam," Bai Mengfei speculated with a doubtful tone. "Actually, I'm not quite sure either, since further testing is needed to know. But I have a feeling they were drugged before."

Xiang Yuntian also stepped forward, examined the body, and offered a different opinion. Pointing to the wound, he said, "The way the knife was used was extremely swift, which is why the cut is so smooth. In my opinion, the murderer's knife was too fast, so fast that these victims didn't even have time to make a sound."

Seeing that the two disagreed, Zhao Fei suggested, "How about this, you two examine the body first. I'll go investigate other materials, and once I have any news, I'll send someone or come over in person to let you know."

Bai Mengfei nodded immediately and said, "If we make any important discoveries or find any results, we will notify you as soon as possible."

"Okay!" Zhao Fei replied, then hurriedly left, as if fleeing. From the expression on his face, it was clear that he didn't actually like staying in the morgue.

However, aside from forensic doctors, what normal person would enjoy staying in such a cold and gloomy room, facing these lifeless corpses? So his reaction is not surprising.

During the autopsy, Bai Mengfei discovered a major problem: the times of death of the five victims were inconsistent, with some deaths occurring several hours apart.

Upon discovering this crucial clue, Bai Mengfei immediately exclaimed, turned to Xiang Yuntian, and shouted, "Come and take a look!"

Hearing Bai Mengfei's call, Xiang Yuntian came over and, after examining the situation, also noticed the problem. He then stood beside Bai Mengfei, crossed his arms, raised his right hand, gently pinched his chin, and fell into deep thought.

Seeing Xiang Yuntian so focused on his thoughts, Bai Mengfei stepped forward and asked softly, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hmm?" Xiang Yuntian seemed to snap out of his daze, turned his head, looked up at Bai Mengfei, and said, "It's strange, why did the murderer take so long to kill them one by one? And why didn't these people escape during this time? What exactly happened in between?"

Bai Mengfei pondered the question Xiang Yuntian raised for a moment, then speculated in her reply: "Could it be that these people were controlled by the murderer beforehand, and then killed one by one?"

Xiang Yuntian began pacing around the room, analyzing to himself as he walked: "It's unlikely, I think the probability is very small. Because their locations were very scattered, and judging from the scene, it looks more like an assassination."

Xiang Yuntian's analysis was very logical, and Bai Mengfei stared intently at his profile, unconsciously following his train of thought.

The murder process in this case is like a mystery; even Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian are puzzled as to how the killer did it.

Just as Bai Mengfei was lost in thought, Xiang Yuntian suddenly walked over and said, "Mengfei, do you think it's possible that these people weren't assassinated by the same person?"

"You mean, it wasn't the same group of people who did it?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly, then said, "Or perhaps the murderer was actually an indecisive person. He killed the first victim at first, then felt it was inappropriate, so he took advantage of the others being asleep and killed the rest one by one."

After a moment's thought, Bai Mengfei made a practical decision, saying, "In any case, let's draw blood from the deceased's femoral vein for testing. Perhaps we can detect the chemical components of the drug in their blood. Let's use scientific methods to find the answer."

Xiang Yuntian readily agreed, because he also disliked making guesses out of thin air.

There are five bodies in the morgue; it looks like they'll be busy for a while.
