A forensic doctor is reborn, sir, please don't bully me!

Chapter 166 Identification

High in the sky, a series of rumbling thunderclaps echoed.

Although the sound was somewhat muffled, it sounded particularly loud because they were on a mountain.

Upon hearing the thunder, Bai Mengfei instantly became extremely alert, sensing that rain was imminent.

At the same time, Xiang Yuntian hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a soft voice with concern, "Are you alright?"

Bai Mengfei turned her head and replied, "It's nothing, I was just startled by the thunder. The weather changes so fast. Let's hurry down the mountain."

Upon hearing this, the knowledgeable Xiang Yuntian immediately looked up at the sky and realized that the rain was imminent, and it was probably too late to go down the mountain now.

As luck would have it, there was a temple located halfway up the mountain ahead.

Xiang Yuntian quickly suggested to Bai Mengfei, "Shall we go there to take shelter from the rain?"

Bai Mengfei pondered for a moment, then nodded gently in agreement: "Okay."

The two then walked together toward the dilapidated temple, their only thought being to find a place to shelter from the approaching rain.

As soon as they stepped into the temple, a strong musty smell hit them. As forensic doctors, they were extremely sensitive to this kind of smell, knowing that it might harbor germs.

"Let's not go too far in. Let's just wait for the rain to stop near the entrance," Xiang Yuntian suggested.

Bai Mengfei turned around resolutely and said, "No need, let's go inside."

However, as soon as she turned around, she smelled another scent, which was relatively faint but still clearly identifiable.

She vaguely sensed that it smelled of a corpse.

Bai Mengfei immediately sniffed and followed the direction of the scent.

Sure enough, lime powder was found behind the Buddha statue that was missing its head.

This is a strong alkali, which is often used to prevent the decomposition of corpses.

However, upon closer inspection, those things didn't quite resemble a complete corpse.

Fortunately, Bai Mengfei, being an experienced forensic doctor, squatted down, took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and kept it constantly on.

Then, she used her flashlight to illuminate the object below and looked closely. She saw that the thing underneath resembled a melted corpse, and at the bottom were some broken bones, as if they had been smashed into powder by a blunt object.

Just as Bai Mengfei was focused on examining the item, Xiang Yuntian happened to walk over.

"What are you doing?" Xiang Yuntian asked softly.

Bai Mengfei glanced back at him, her expression grave, and said, "Didn't you see?"

"What is this?" Xiang Yuntian squatted down to examine it with great curiosity, only to find that what was on the ground was a pile of powder that looked like bones.

"What's going on? Is this a corpse? Is it an animal's or a human's corpse?"

Even a forensic doctor as outstanding as Xiang Yuntian found it difficult to make a judgment for a while, and could only rely on Bai Mengfei, a top forensic doctor, to make the distinction.

Bai Mengfei picked up a dry twig from the side, gently parted the pile of things, and carefully observed every detail.

She quickly discovered an object resembling a finger joint, confirming that it was a human bone.

So Bai Mengfei picked out the object and showed it to Xiang Yuntian, saying, "Look, this is a human finger joint."

As she spoke, she pointed to the location of her knuckle with her finger.

Xiang Yuntian frowned slightly, staring intently, his heart filled with surprise.

After a moment's thought, he asked uncertainly, "Are you sure this is human bone?"

"Yes, I'm sure of it. It's absolutely true."

Bai Mengfei took a deep breath, turned the bone over with a twig, and said seriously, "Take a closer look. What does this shape resemble?"

Hearing her say that, Xiang Yuntian replied, "It does look a bit like a section of a human finger, but it could also be from an animal like a gorilla. After all, look, the corpse has already dissolved like this."

"Hmph, take another look at the area and the shape it's spread out on the ground. Look carefully."

After Bai Mengfei said that, Xiang Yuntian carefully examined the body repeatedly and finally had to confirm that it was indeed a human corpse.

"Then who do you think the deceased is?" Xiang Yuntian asked slowly, exhaling.

At this moment, he no longer wanted to investigate the case, because continuing to delve deeper might cause the police station to lose face.

The fact that Lao Gui and his gang acted this way, even at the cost of a life, is probably to achieve some kind of ulterior motive.

But for Bai Mengfei, finding the real culprit and bringing him to justice is more important than anything else.

So she didn't respond, but just frowned and stared intently at the disfigured corpse.

The mess in front of me is indeed in a terrible state.

If Bai Mengfei hadn't been present, even if Xiang Yuntian and the other forensic doctors had taken these samples back for thorough testing, they probably wouldn't have been able to draw any conclusions.

At this moment, Bai Mengfei was still pondering Xiang Yuntian's question, secretly wondering to whom the corpse actually belonged.

Could they be tourists here?

If not, then who could it be?

So, Bai Mengfei subconsciously turned her head, wanting to check if there were any drag marks around.

If so, it proves that the person may have been deliberately brought to this place by the murderer to commit the crime, thus suggesting that it may have been a premeditated murder, and the murderer then dragged the body here to destroy the evidence, rather than a murder case caused by a dispute in this place.

She looked at it for a while, but at first she didn't notice anything unusual.

However, in the instant a blinding flash of lightning streaked across the sky, she clearly saw what appeared to be some bloodstains next to the pillar.

That's a bit strange. Why would bloodstains appear there?

Could it be that I saw it wrong?

Out of curiosity, Bai Mengfei stood up and, ignoring Xiang Yuntian's attempts to stop her, resolutely walked in that direction.

Xiang Yuntian stopped her because he mistakenly thought Bai Mengfei was about to leave, so he intervened.

When Xiang Yuntian realized that Bai Mengfei was only going to investigate the pillar, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After arriving at the pillar, Bai Mengfei carefully considered the bloodstains, as well as the temperature and humidity of the area.

"Has it rained these past two days?" Bai Mengfei asked.

She asked Xiang Yuntian this question in order to determine the humidity level here.

Xiang Yuntian instantly understood her intention. Being intelligent, he immediately checked the air humidity and temperature from two days ago.

After learning the temperature and humidity data, Bai Mengfei quickly made a rational analysis: "It seems that this blood may indeed have been left two days ago."
