Chapter 476 Various Evidence
Chapter 476 Various Evidence
Inside the car, Wang Tian couldn't help but exclaim, "The killer was incredibly swift!"
“Indeed!” Bai Mengfei wholeheartedly agreed. “We hadn’t been gone long when they poisoned Ye Feng and fled the crime scene.”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Yuntian interjected, "Not only that, they also cleaned up and disguised the scene."
At this moment, Bai Mengfei suddenly smiled and said, "It's so good to be rich."
This statement, seemingly directed at no one, contained a profound meaning, which both Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian understood.
After understanding the meaning behind Bai Mengfei's words, Xiang Yuntian turned to look at her and said, "The key is the conspiracy behind the murderer. His conspiracy is so deep that even we don't know what he wants to do."
Wang Tian sighed helplessly and said, "Although we have some clues, we still can't do anything about him."
Xiang Yuntian also sighed, "Yes, after all, in our line of work, we have to rely on evidence for everything we do. As the saying goes, 'Catch the thief red-handed.' If they don't leave any evidence, we can't catch them on the spot. Even if we know in our hearts that they did it, we can't just point fingers, otherwise it would be defamation."
After witnessing the body being taken back to the police station, the three of them went together to the morgue.
"Actually, there shouldn't be much left to investigate with this body, right?" Wang Tian said, looking at Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian who were busy at work.
Xiang Yuntian had no intention of explaining, so he didn't answer. Bai Mengfei replied, "In our line of work, re-examination is a crucial task. Because sometimes, there are clues left on the body that we didn't notice at the time. And I believe that there is always some information hidden inside the body."
"Why are you so sure?" Wang Tian asked.
Bai Mengfei smiled slightly and said, "You can call me superstitious. But in this world, some things are like that; if you believe in them, they seem very effective; if you don't believe in them, they have no effect."
Wang Tian was a little confused, but she nodded slightly and said, "Yes, I understand." After saying that, she slowly walked forward, wanting to learn some autopsy techniques.
After removing Ye Feng's clothes, Bai Mengfei began examining the body. Based on the appearance of the corpse, she could determine that Ye Feng had been dead for no more than two hours.
Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Wang Tian asked in confusion, "How can you tell that his time of death was no more than two hours just by pressing a button?"
“Because corpses can ‘talk’!” Bai Mengfei smiled slightly. “Alright, enough joking. The outside environment was at normal temperature and humidity at the time, so the corpse’s reaction was predictable. My specific judgment was based on livor mortis, the softness of the corpse, and the temperature. If you are interested in these things, you can look up relevant books later.”
"Oh." After saying that, Wang Tian walked over, put on rubber gloves, and carefully examined Ye Feng's clothes.
During the inspection, she found a note in a hidden pocket.
She opened the note, saw words on it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Come quick! There's a piece of paper in this clothing with a string of numbers written on it!"
Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian hurried over to check.
Upon seeing the string of numbers, Xiang Yuntian frowned, glanced at Bai Mengfei, and then asked, "What do you think this string of numbers might mean?"
Wang Tian shook her head and said, "I don't understand what this means either. Maybe it's a number."
“Indeed, it could be a serial number, or it could have other meanings.” Bai Mengfei couldn’t be sure either.
Xiang Yuntian continued, "But it shouldn't be a license plate number or a birthday, right? Nobody uses pagers or fax machines anymore."
"Hmm, such a short number shouldn't be a tracking number," Wang Tian said.
Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head and returned to Ye Feng's body.
She gently opened Ye Feng's palm and found some calluses on his palm. But these calluses didn't look like they were from doing rough work; they looked more like they were formed from holding a tennis racket or something similar for a long time.
After confirming this, Bai Mengfei turned to Xiang Yuntian and Wang Tian, who were studying the numbers, and said, "It seems we need to go to his house again."
"Why?" Xiang Yuntian asked.
Bai Mengfei said mysteriously, "You'll know when you get there."
So the three of them went to Ye Feng's house again.
After a thorough search, they finally discovered that Ye Feng had a habit of going to the sports center.
Bai Mengfei immediately realized what was going on and said, "That number is very likely the locker number in the sports hall."
“But even if we have the locker number, we don’t have the key. Besides, it’s private property. Is it appropriate for us to investigate like this?” Wang Tian said with some concern.
Bai Mengfei explained, "I think Ye Feng deliberately sewed such a hidden bag in his pocket. The bag only contained this piece of paper, and the paper only had this number on it, in the hope that we, the police and forensic doctors, could find it there. So if we do this, he won't blame us in heaven; he might even feel gratified."
"But it's also true that we don't have the key," Wang Tian insisted.
Bai Mengfei pursed her lips, frowned, and said, "I know that. But I believe if we keep looking, we'll definitely find the key. Even if we can't find it, we can ask the person in charge of the sports center to open the locker. So it's not a big problem."
Wang Tian thought Bai Mengfei's words made sense, so she started looking for the key again.
Unable to find the key, they went directly to the sports center, found the person in charge, and asked to open the locker for inspection.
When they opened the cabinet, they found a packet of white powder inside, with a piece of paper underneath it.
Bai Mengfei smelled it, looked at Xiang Yuntian, and said, "This packet of powder is very likely 'flour'."
"Could it be Ye Feng?" Wang Tian guessed.
Bai Mengfei slowly shook her head, unfolded the paper, and said, "I'm not sure, but it shouldn't be his. Who wants to leave behind a bad reputation after death? So even if this thing is his, he has no reason to lead us here."
