Chapter 471 Acupuncture
"I don't believe in any of this," Bai Mengfei said with a slight smile. "It's better to find out the truth."
"That's true." The male colleague nodded slightly. "Then you can continue your investigation."
Having said that, he was about to leave when he noticed Bai Mengfei touch the mouth she had just drawn. He stopped, leaned over, frowned slightly, and asked, "Was it found in this spot?"
“That’s right, but they were found inside the mouth. What, you know this location?” Bai Mengfei said nervously. “Actually, considering the whole case, I also think it’s unbelievable that these two needles were found here. And it’s very likely that they were inserted after the victim died. If they were still alive, they should have pulled the needles out themselves.”
The male colleague breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "This seems to be the Yinjiao acupoint, which is the last acupoint on the Du meridian."
"The Governing Vessel?" Bai Mengfei asked curiously.
Her male colleague glanced at her and then explained, "That's right, the Ren and Du meridians! My uncle studied traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and I often help him out, so I'm sure I'm not mistaken. This spot on the outer gum is the Yinjiao acupoint, which is said to be the last acupoint on the Du meridian of the Ren and Du meridians."
"That's amazing?" Bai Mengfei gave a slight bitter smile. "Actually, this case itself is very bizarre. Let me tell you, both victims only had one wound on their bodies, and that wound was in a non-fatal location. But my examination revealed that their wounds were actually from multiple stab wounds, all inflicted before they died. Given their skills and abilities, there's no reason they wouldn't have struggled. But if they had struggled, I don't think the wounds would have been so clean."
“This is really strange.” Even the male colleague remarked, “Now, the location of the needles in their mouths is related to that only wound, which makes it even stranger.”
"Yes, I also find this incredible." Bai Mengfei nodded gently, a thoughtful expression gradually appearing on her face.
The male colleague pulled up a chair next to Bai Mengfei and sat down beside her. He frowned and pondered, saying, "Could this case really have been committed by a martial arts master?"
This possibility certainly exists; after all, the world is vast and full of wonders.
Following this line of thought, Bai Mengfei asked, "If that's really the case, do you think the Yinjiao acupoint might have an anesthetic effect?"
"I'm not sure either, it's hard to say. But it doesn't seem to have that function, does it?" the male colleague said with a wry smile. "Maybe they're giving themselves acupuncture to treat some kind of illness? Or maybe they're practicing some kind of martial arts, which is why they're doing this."
“That’s possible too,” Bai Mengfei said with a wry smile. “And maybe they went to the old house of the richest man, Lian Zheng, to steal some martial arts manual, such as the ‘Evil-Repelling Sword Manual’.”
The male colleague realized Bai Mengfei was joking and knew she didn't quite believe his speculation, so he laughed and said, "Forget it, I won't help you think about it. You should figure it out yourself. This case is so bizarre, it'll keep you and Forensic Doctor Xiang busy studying it."
"It's alright." Bai Mengfei smiled helplessly. "Anyway, persistence pays off, there's always a way."
After her male colleague left, Bai Mengfei sat there alone, gently resting her forehead on her right hand, lost in deep thought.
Just as she was lost in thought, a hand suddenly landed on her shoulder.
She was startled, her body trembled slightly, and she quickly turned her head away.
It turned out that Wang Tian had walked over and was standing behind her. She frowned, then smiled and asked, "Is there something you need?"
"Yes. Captain Zhao asked me to assist you as much as possible. Seeing you sitting here alone thinking, I was worried you'd be racking your brains. So I came over to ask if you needed a cup of coffee. I don't know how I can help you, but I hope you don't overwork yourself. Taking a break now and then, balancing work and rest, might give you more ideas."
What's wrong with Wang Tian? Why has she suddenly changed her personality?
Therefore, Bai Mengfei was somewhat wary of her and said with a smile, "No need, thank you."
"What, are you afraid I'll poison you?" Wang Tian slowly sat down and said, "Alright, actually I've figured some things out."
"What is it?" Bai Mengfei's mind was preoccupied with the case, and she had no time to think about what Wang Tian had figured out.
Wang Tian said, "I've thought about it again and again, and I feel that Forensic Doctor Xiang and you are the most compatible. So I plan to withdraw and stop competing with you for him."
"Didn't you already have this idea?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Wang Tian shrugged, smiled slightly, and said, "No, I didn't really think that way before. But now I truly feel that way. And I'm also thinking that doing my best to help you solve the case is the important thing, and it will also benefit me."
“Yes, you should have thought of that sooner. Women, sometimes you should prioritize your work. That will make men value you more.” Seeing that Wang Tian was thinking of improving, Bai Mengfei shared some experience. “Actually, what men like about women often is not because women are docile and dependent, but because of their independence. Because of independence, they are unique.”
"Oh, I see." Wang Tian nodded thoughtfully, as if she understood.
Bai Mengfei turned her head and continued to think about the case.
Wang Tian saw the drawing Bai Mengfei had made, slowly took it, and asked, "Is this related to the case at the old house?"
“That’s right,” Bai Mengfei answered confidently. “To be honest, this is the most difficult case I’ve encountered in a long time. I can’t figure out the killer’s psychology at all.”
Wang Tian couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it the case of the serial murders of teenage girls? I think that case is the most difficult. From the time the forensic doctor was murdered until now, no one has been able to solve the case and find the murderer. It seems that the murderer knew that only the forensic doctor could find evidence to bring him to justice, so he killed the forensic doctor first."
Bai Mengfei chuckled softly, "You're overthinking it. Forensic Doctor Bai isn't actually that amazing."
“No!” Wang Tian stared intently at Bai Mengfei and said solemnly, “Actually, I have read many of Dr. Bai’s previous papers, as well as her case-solving records and insights. Although you are also very capable and accomplished at a young age, I still have to say that the level she has reached is beyond your reach.”
Bai Mengfei didn't understand what made her stronger in her past life compared to now. She frowned and asked with a smile, "What insights? What realm?"
“After solving a case, she would do an in-depth analysis of each one, and then she would always gain new insights.” As she spoke, Wang Tian glanced around to make sure no one was nearby, then leaned closer and whispered to Bai Mengfei, “Besides that, Forensic Doctor Xiang has actually always been very…”
