Chapter 121 Zheng Xiuxiu is dead
Chapter 121 Zheng Xiuxiu is dead
"Weren't you two getting along fine this morning?"
Bai Mengfei said.
Zheng Xiuxiu instantly revealed her true colors, shouting, "Hey, what's it to you? It's none of your business how I conduct myself!"
The man immediately saw through Zheng Xiuxiu's character and forcefully shook off her hand.
Men are smarter than women in this respect because they don't fantasize that bad women will become good, nor do they try to change bad women.
The other party is smarter than Jiang Fan in this respect.
Zheng Xiuxiu was so angry that her eyes widened and she glared fiercely at Bai Mengfei. However, because Xiang Yuntian was standing next to Bai Mengfei, she restrained herself a little.
Bai Mengfei no longer wanted to talk to her and was about to leave, but she kept pestering her.
"Explain yourself clearly. What did you mean just now? Were you deliberately causing trouble?" She glared at Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian. "Did Jiang Fan send you two? It's one thing for him to be conservative and old-fashioned, but I didn't expect you people to be the same. What era are we living in? Still talking about 'forever'? That's so outdated."
Bai Mengfei really wanted to slap her, but then she thought better of it. Why bother arguing with such an uncultured woman?
“I live here alone now, but he’s too scared to live with me.”
Zheng Xiuxiu even argued vehemently: "I'm scared to be alone, and I have my own needs too, okay? What's wrong with me finding someone to keep me company?"
"Stop talking, let's go." Xiang Yuntian couldn't listen anymore.
He even thought to himself that if this woman got into trouble again, he would definitely not get involved.
The two returned home at nine o'clock in the evening.
Bai Mengfei was still thinking about that woman, her annoying image flashing through her mind.
Xiang Yuntian saw through her thoughts, walked over and sat down beside her, and comforted her, "Alright, stop thinking about it. That kind of woman isn't worth your time."
"No, I'm thinking about the case," Bai Mengfei said intentionally.
"Okay, I'm thinking about the case."
Xiang Yuntian saw through her, but didn't point it out. He just smiled slightly and said, "But don't overthink it. We've investigated almost everything we can. It's confirmed to be a violent death, and a homicide. That's all we can analyze."
"Yes, it's not easy to find someone in a sea of people, and that's indeed the duty of the police."
After saying that, the two went to wash up and get a good night's sleep.
However, after falling asleep, Bai Mengfei had a very strange dream.
She dreamt that someone broke into Zheng Xiuxiu's room and murdered her.
She woke up suddenly from her dream, gripping the sheets tightly with both hands.
Turning my head, I realized it was already daylight.
At this moment, she felt dizzy and the veins on her forehead were throbbing involuntarily.
These are symptoms of a headache.
She slept too lightly last night, so she still remembers everything in her dream clearly.
She sensed something was wrong, so she got up and left the room, intending to ask Xiang Yuntian to go see Zheng Xiuxiu.
When she entered the living room, she saw Xiang Yuntian walking towards her, seemingly having something to say.
The two spoke almost simultaneously, with Xiang Yuntian saying, "You go first."
“Okay, shall we go see Zheng Xiuxiu?” Bai Mengfei thought that her request would seem abrupt to Xiang Yuntian.
How did you know? I was just about to tell you about this.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Yuntian showed no doubt whatsoever, but instead looked surprised and asked, "I just received a call from Old Chen saying that something happened to Zheng Xiuxiu and that we need to go there now."
"Huh?" Bai Mengfei was taken aback, never expecting her dream to come true.
After buying breakfast, the two rushed to the scene of the crime.
The hotel was cordoned off with police tape, prohibiting unauthorized personnel from approaching, and all guests had moved out.
Many people around were talking about it, saying that two people died in this building every now and then.
Bai Mengfei hurriedly finished her bread and then put on white gloves as she and Xiang Yuntian walked.
"We're on the same side." Xiang Yuntian showed his identification to the police.
Only after the police confirmed his identity did they allow him to bring Bai Mengfei inside.
They arrived at Zheng Xiuxiu's room.
"When you brought her back that day, didn't you go upstairs with her?" Bai Mengfei suddenly asked this question because she remembered that Xiang Yuntian looked very surprised when he saw Xiuxiu walk up to that floor yesterday.
Xiang Yuntian slowly shook his head and said, "I took her to the hotel entrance and then left."
At this moment, Zhao Fei was in the room, examining the scene with other forensic doctors.
Next to Zheng Xiuxiu, there is a male corpse.
Upon seeing the two enter, Zhao Fei hurriedly greeted them, saying, "The cleaning lady found them at six o'clock this morning, but the exact time of death is still unclear."
“We know this woman,” Xiang Yuntian said.
This statement really surprised Zhao Fei.
Just then, a person rushed in, trying to go inside, but was stopped by the police.
This person was none other than Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan was brought here by Xu Sanmin.
"What a coincidence!"
The thought flashed through Bai Mengfei's mind in an instant.
Before Zheng Xiuxiu died, Jiang Fan went to see Xu Sanmin. Could Jiang Fan be the murderer?
His motive for the crime seems quite obvious.
Perhaps he discovered Zheng Xiuxiu's affair with another man and killed her in a moment of impulse.
However, forensic pathologists cannot rely solely on guesswork and reasoning; they must seek evidence from the corpse.
Seeing Xiang Yuntian approach, the forensic doctor readily made way for him.
Xiang Yuntian squatted down and suddenly lifted the white cloth covering Zheng Xiuxiu's body.
Zheng Xiuxiu's body was immediately exposed to everyone's eyes without any cover.
The male corpse next to it has not been moved yet.
“Unrelated personnel, please leave this area,” Xiang Yuntian said.
Zhao Fei immediately organized all the police officers to leave the room.
A policeman walked up to Xiang Yuntian and asked, "Should we take the body back for examination now?"
"Didn't you see I haven't performed an autopsy on the body yet?" Xiang Yuntian needed to ascertain the relevant information and make a record as soon as possible before he could have the body moved.
This prevents the formation of bilateral livor mortis on the body and also avoids affecting the localized dryness.
After everyone left, the first thing he did was gently pry open Zheng Xiuxiu's eyes to observe the degree of cloudiness in her cornea.
This is an effective method for determining the time of death of a corpse.
Bai Mengfei walked over, took out the notebook she had brought with her, and wrote down: "Violent death; cause of death, preliminarily determined to be strangulation." After writing it down, she immediately crossed it out.
She took Zheng Xiuxiu's hand, examined it, and found that Zheng Xiuxiu's hand was clenched.
At this point, Xiang Yuntian had determined Zheng Xiuxiu's approximate time of death: "Blood circulation in the brain has stopped, indicating brain death. Judging from the degree of corneal opacity, the time of death was approximately 6 to 7 hours ago."
"What time is it now?" Bai Mengfei asked.
Xiang Yuntian took out his phone, looked at it, did some calculations, and then said definitively, "He should have died around one or two in the morning."
