Chapter 364 Experienced
At this moment, Bai Mengfei deduced from the early characteristics of the corpse: "The time of death must not have been more than two hours. He was the driver of this taxi and just brought me here."
After speaking, Bai Mengfei turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian, who was squatting next to her.
At this time, Xiang Yuntian was still examining the deceased's wrists and other parts, but the examination results were not unusual.
Bai Mengfei didn't examine it closely this time because she understood that in such a short time, the murderer's methods were likely simple and brutal.
So she stretched out her right hand, pointed to the deceased's forehead, and said, "The fatal wound should be here, take a look."
"Hmm!" Xiang Yuntian nodded slightly in agreement. "I think so too. However, his wallet and other belongings were not missing, and the car is still there, so we can rule out robbery and murder."
Bai Mengfei recalled for a moment and said, "We didn't see any cars following us on the way here, so why did the murderer want to kill him? That's the key question."
Xiang Yuntian nodded in agreement: "That's right, the motive is crucial." As he spoke, Xiang Yuntian himself showed a worried expression.
At this moment, Zhu Heng, who had been quietly observing the autopsy process from behind them, suddenly had an inspiration and said, "Could it be a crime of passion? Was there an emotional dispute involved?"
Bai Mengfei smiled faintly and said, "That's unlikely! He's of average appearance and just a taxi driver. I think the possibility of a crime of passion is very small. On the contrary, it might be related to the fact that he brought me here."
Hearing Bai Mengfei say this, all the police officers present, including Xiang Yuntian, were shocked.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Bai Mengfei slowly stood up and analyzed for them, "Think about it, how would the murderer know that I called you here? And the driver died here. Is this really just a coincidence? I think these two things might be connected."
Zhu Heng agreed and nodded.
Bai Mengfei then continued, "It's very likely that the murderer encountered this car on their way here, thought it was the car that brought me here, and stopped it. That's why we saw the car parked there in that state just now."
“That’s possible, go on.” Zhu Heng agreed wholeheartedly and began to look at Bai Mengfei with new respect.
Bai Mengfei turned around and squatted down next to the corpse again.
She stretched out her left hand, pointed at the wound on the deceased's forehead with her clenched sword fingers, turned to look at Zhu Heng and the others, and analyzed, "In my opinion, this wound was caused by repeated blows from a blunt object. Moreover, this blunt object doesn't look like a hammer, but more like a wrench, because you can see from here that the middle part is quite deep."
Zhu Heng was skeptical, so he squatted down to examine it. But he couldn't figure it out either, so he frowned and remained silent.
Bai Mengfei knew he didn't believe her deduction, so she said, "If you don't believe me, we can find a wrench and a piece of wood and do an experiment later."
"Okay, please continue."
Bai Mengfei nodded slightly, then asked, "Did anyone wear gloves?"
Everyone present except Xiang Yuntian exchanged bewildered glances; clearly, none of them had brought any. Only Xiang Yuntian silently reached into his pocket, pulled out a pair of white gloves, and handed them to Bai Mengfei.
Bai Mengfei took the gloves, gently put them on, and then began searching the deceased's clothing. Among them, she found a bloodstained cell phone.
“I think the truth is related to this phone. Let’s take it back for examination, and at the same time, preserve the body and the scene.” With that, Bai Mengfei stood up and let out a long sigh.
At the same time, she made another decision: "I think everyone except Director Zhu and Forensic Doctor Xiang should go back first! First, send someone to protect the crime scene; second, notify the deceased's family to come and identify the body."
Zhu Heng was very satisfied to see that Bai Mengfei had made the arrangements in an orderly manner.
After the police left, Zhu Heng gave them an approving look and said with admiration, "You really are no ordinary person."
"No, I'm just doing my job," Bai Mengfei said.
As she spoke, she noticed that Kelly was still there, standing to the side in a daze. So she frowned and asked, "What are you still doing here?"
Kelly thought for a moment before saying, "It's not that I don't want to leave, it's just that I think I might be able to help." With that, Kelly walked over. Bai Mengfei thought she was going to do something else, but later realized she was just returning her phone.
Kelly had previously taken Bai Mengfei's phone to examine it, and Bai Mengfei had forgotten to ask for it back.
The moment she took the phone, Bai Mengfei politely said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Kelly smiled slightly. "You guys get back to investigating!"
Seeing Kelly's unusual cooperation, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian began investigating the scene. The murderer was quite clever, wearing gloves during the crime, but still made a mistake, leaving some footprints at the crime scene.
Although there was only half a footprint, and it was on a relatively dry and loose mound of earth, making it somewhat difficult to discern, Bai Mengfei would not let go of any clue.
After squatting down, Bai Mengfei raised her right hand and roughly measured the footprint with her palm.
“If this footprint was left by the murderer, then the murderer is very likely a man,” Bai Mengfei said to Xiang Yuntian. “We can extract this footprint to take back and study it. Let’s take a picture of it with our phones first.”
“Okay.” Xiang Yuntian was willing to act as Bai Mengfei’s deputy.
As the saying goes, bystanders see things more clearly, and Zhu Heng and Kelly were actually seeing everything.
They were very puzzled, feeling that Xiang Yuntian was more mature and experienced than Bai Mengfei, so why was he so willing to follow Bai Mengfei's orders?
At first glance, the two thought that it was because Xiang Yuntian liked Bai Mengfei that he let her make arrangements.
But after careful observation, Zhu Heng understood.
Xiang Yuntian wasn't naive or unable to distinguish between public and private matters; rather, Bai Mengfei's methods for handling cases were indeed highly skilled. For example, her approaches to this type of criminal investigation not only surpassed Xiang Yuntian's but were even more impressive than his own.
Because girls are more sensitive, and for this type of work, meticulousness is far more important than any other factor.
After all, careless people may easily damage the crime scene and cause a lot of unnecessary trouble for criminal investigation.
Bai Mengfei's thoughtfulness is something that even the most attentive man can hardly match.
Zhu Heng stood aside, carefully observing Bai Mengfei's every move and every detail, a feeling stirring within him.
The girl in front of me, only 18 years old, was more mature and experienced than I was in her words and actions.
