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

Chapter 143 The Duties of a Forensic Pathologist

Bai Mengfei's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile as delicate as a night-blooming cereus. However, Zhao Fei had no idea what she was smiling about.

Everything she possesses is the result of her diligent study and rich experience in her previous life, accumulated step by step, and is by no means a gift from heaven.

So she retorted to Zhao Fei without backing down: "I've heard of it, but Captain Zhao, you can rest assured, my skills are not something that just vanished into thin air."

"What if? Anything can happen in this world. It's always good to leave some room for maneuver, so that we can meet again in the future."

Zhao Fei's words, though seemingly well-intentioned, carried a hint of sarcasm and bitterness.

Bai Mengfei, filled with impatience, turned her face to the side, staring at the white walls of the corridor, and said, "It is right to leave room for maneuver, but when it comes to work, I'm sorry, I only care about the facts, not the people. If I find evidence that forensic doctor Xiang has committed a crime, I will not hesitate to write a written statement and submit it, without any favoritism."

Zhao Fei responded with a wry smile, "I hope so."

Having said that, he was filled with dissatisfaction with Bai Mengfei and turned to leave.

Bai Mengfei watched his receding figure quietly until it disappeared from sight, then sadly lowered her head.

Can she really be so selfless?

However, she firmly believed that Xiang Yuntian would never do such a thing.

Then, feeling a little relieved, she went to the door of Xiang Yuntian's ward.

Xiang Yuntian had already been bandaged, and a splint was still in place on his arm.

Bai Mengfei quietly entered the ward, pulled over a stool, and slowly sat down beside him.

She gazed intently at Xiang Yuntian's face for a long while before speaking softly with concern, "How are you feeling?"

Xiang Yuntian lowered his head, looked at his injured arm, then shook his head, sighed, and said, "I'm mostly fine now, don't worry about me. The most important thing now is you. Don't take any more risks; the killer may already be targeting you."

These were not the words Bai Mengfei wanted to hear. She silently stood up and slowly walked towards the window.

She gently placed her hands on the windowsill, gazing sadly out the window, a wave of melancholy washing over her.

Upon seeing this, Xiang Yuntian immediately stood up, covered his injured hand with his hand, and walked behind her.

"Don't overthink it, I didn't mean anything by it."

Before Xiang Yuntian could finish speaking, Bai Mengfei nodded firmly and said, "I understand."

Xiang Yuntian knew he couldn't persuade Bai Mengfei, so he sighed helplessly and asked, "Is it worth it? If you risk your life, you probably won't have such good luck anymore."

“It’s worth it.” Bai Mengfei gazed at the drizzling rain outside the window and said decisively, “Every life is incredibly precious, and seeking justice for the deceased is our duty as forensic doctors. I don’t think I’ve taught you this before, have I?”

After speaking, Bai Mengfei turned her head and looked at Xiang Yuntian with a deep gaze.

Xiang Yuntian looked somber, lowered his head silently, and said nothing.

He was actually quite conflicted about who was right and wrong in this matter. Perhaps out of personal reasons, he really didn't want Bai Mengfei to be in danger.

Bai Mengfei had already seen through his thoughts from his expression, so she put her hand on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll be fine, so don't worry too much."

"I really hope you'll be alright." Xiang Yuntian not only said this, but also hoped so in his heart.

At this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his face was full of worry.

Bai Mengfei stayed with Xiang Yuntian in the ward for a while before she went to help him with the hospital admission procedures, but he refused: "No need, I'm fine, I don't need to be hospitalized. Let me stay by your side instead?"

Hearing this, Bai Mengfei felt a surge of inexplicable emotion. After all, anyone would be moved by someone willing to share life and death with her. Although Xiang Yuntian's actions might seem like he was spying on her, they also stemmed from his concern for her.

"Mm." Bai Mengfei accepted the gesture.

When the two returned, Xiang Yuntian chose to take a taxi because of his inconvenience with his hand.

However, after returning home, Bai Mengfei's heart was filled with restless desire, and she devoted herself to investigating the case.

She was waiting, hoping that Xiang Yuntian would fall asleep soon so that she could take the opportunity to investigate the scene.

Of course, she couldn't go openly.

But the drop of blood in the principal's office is highly suspicious; perhaps there are other clues as well?

However, Xiang Yuntian knew exactly what Bai Mengfei was thinking, and he would never agree to Bai Mengfei taking such a risk, so he deliberately kept her waiting.

And so, the two of them stayed up until late at night without falling asleep.

At 2 a.m., Fanghua suddenly sent a picture of the deceased woman, Tong Qian.

The image was sent to Xiang Yuntian's laptop and happened to be seen by Bai Mengfei.

Bai Mengfei quickly clicked on the picture and zoomed in to examine it. She discovered that on Tong Qian's charred corpse, there were wounds that went deep into the bone.

It appears that Tong Qian was abused before her death.

There are two possibilities.

Before Bai Mengfei could finish speaking, Xiang Yuntian frowned, his face full of anger, and said, "Alright, I've said it before, you're not allowed to investigate this case anymore."

In the end, he simply raised his hand and closed the laptop lid.

When Bai Mengfei turned on her computer again, she found that Xiang Yuntian had set a password for his personal computer account.

"What are you doing?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xiang Yuntian retorted excitedly, "Isn't that obvious enough? I don't want you involved in this case; you know how dangerous it is. Why won't you listen to me? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Seeing Xiang Yun's face turn red with anger, and remembering that his arm was still injured, Bai Mengfei stood up and did not argue with him.

However, she had already deduced two possibilities from that photo.

These injuries were either caused by Tong Qian's boyfriend or by the school.

Moreover, the former is far more likely than the latter.

In the middle of the night, she stood alone by the window, quietly.

At this moment, Xiang Yuntian was watching her from behind like a spy. She understood this, but she said nothing and did nothing.

However, her mind was racing, with various possibilities for the case flashing through her mind like a slideshow.

It wasn't until almost 5 a.m. that Xiang Yuntian finally fell into a deep sleep on the sofa. She immediately and quietly turned on her phone and contacted Jiang Shuai.

Under Jiang Shuai's guidance, she entered the BIOS system, unlocked the computer, and then contacted Fanghua.

"Cooperate?" She knew that Fanghua was probably still guarding the corpse alone at this moment.

Fanghua replied quickly, "What are you talking about? Of course we'll cooperate!"

"No, I'm not Xiang Yuntian, I'm Zhang Ting. Do you want to solve the case?"

In the morgue's cold storage room, Fanghua held her phone, remained silent for a long time, and finally sent an "OK" emoji.
