Chapter 459 "Insurance Fraud"
So she carefully put down the fruit knife in her hand, moved to the side, and replaced it with a kitchen knife.
Xiang Yuntian slowly approached, a look of surprise on his face, and said, "Wow! You're using such a powerful knife, but you're making me use scissors!"
"After all, I'm a girl, so of course I need to learn how to protect myself better," Bai Mengfei said playfully.
Xiang Yuntian shook his head helplessly, silently switched to a fruit knife, and then followed behind her.
The two searched for a long time in the mall and finally found the broadcasting room, only to find that the door was locked.
“It seems he has already escaped. Shall we go back too?” Xiang Yuntian suggested, looking exhausted.
Bai Mengfei, however, was unwilling to give up and said firmly, "No, I want to search some more. Maybe I can find some clues."
Xiang Yuntian was very worried about Jiang Shuai's safety. He walked to the railing on the second floor, gently placed his hands on it, and subconsciously looked down.
Just then, he was surprised to find that the coat he had just thrown away was gone, and the red ants seemed to have been completely wiped out, making the ground floor exceptionally clean.
"Luo, Zhang Ting, look!" Xiang Yuntian shouted excitedly.
Bai Mengfei was searching for the murderer's trail on the second floor when she heard Xiang Yuntian's shout. She rushed over and took a closer look. She was surprised to find that the first floor had been cleaned up so neatly, a stark contrast to the scene before when it was occupied by the Red Ants.
She immediately gripped the knife tightly and hurried downstairs to investigate, but found no useful clues. Even stranger, the door that had just been closed was now open.
At this moment, Xiang Yuntian also arrived behind Bai Mengfei. He looked around in surprise, gripping his knife tightly and appearing highly vigilant.
"It seems we need to be extra careful," Bai Mengfei said in a low voice.
Xiang Yuntian nodded silently and said, "It's too dangerous here. We shouldn't stay any longer. Let's leave as soon as possible."
"Okay." Bai Mengfei finally agreed.
However, when the two arrived outside the mall, they discovered that all four tires of Xiang Yuntian's car had been punctured. Seeing this, Xiang Yuntian could no longer suppress his anger. He raised his right foot and kicked the car hard, cursing angrily, "Damn it!"
Bai Mengfei had never seen Xiang Yuntian so angry before, so she quickly came over to comfort him, saying, "Don't be angry, we'll just call someone to change the tires later."
"This isn't about the car, you understand?" Xiang Yuntian turned to look at Bai Mengfei, trying hard to control his rarely explosive temper. "The key issue is Jiang Shuai. I don't know how he is now! Why is his phone in that guy's hands?"
This matter is indeed puzzling. Bai Mengfei even suspected for a moment: Could Jiang Shuai be the murderer?
But she quickly dismissed the idea, not daring to even think about it anymore. Then, she hurriedly comforted Xiang Yuntian: "Don't worry, Jiang Shuai will definitely be alright. They say good people are rewarded, he'll be safe and sound."
"Good people get good rewards?" Xiang Yuntian said emotionally, tears welling up in his eyes. "Weren't you a good person before? But what happened to you?"
He was referring to Bai Mengfei's previous life, that painful past.
Hearing this, Bai Mengfei was speechless and could only remain silent. Xiang Yuntian then said, "Isn't Lao Yu a good person? So many kind people, what became of them?"
These harsh realities left Bai Mengfei speechless.
Xiang Yuntian was silent for a while before speaking again: "I'm sorry, but I think I should call Captain Zhao now. Maybe I can get some help."
Bai Mengfei nodded gently, hummed in agreement, and said, "Okay, go ahead and do it."
Xiang Yuntian had just taken out his phone and hadn't even had a chance to dial Zhao Fei's number when Zhao Fei called first. Zhao Fei said seriously on the other end of the line, "I just received a report and have confirmed that Han Xue's body has been found."
"Han Xue's body? Was it dismembered?" Xiang Yuntian asked anxiously.
Zhao Fei replied in a deep voice, "She wasn't dismembered, but her head was sawed open. Come and take a look."
"Where is it?" Because of Jiang Shuai's matter, Xiang Yuntian was in a heavy mood, and his voice sounded particularly weary.
After Zhao Fei told them the location, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian hailed a ride-hailing car and rushed to the crime scene.
The crime scene has been cordoned off by police, and many officers are maintaining order. Han Xue's body was found on the highway, and her death was extremely gruesome.
Upon seeing Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei arrive, Zhao Fei hurriedly came forward and said, "This case has alarmed my superior, so you two must handle it carefully."
"How could this be?" Bai Mengfei asked in confusion.
Zhao Fei explained, "Because the female victim, Han Xue, had purchased a 20 yuan insurance policy before her death, the payout amount would be huge. If it is confirmed that she was murdered, the insurance company would have to pay a lot of money. Therefore, our superiors are very concerned about this matter and are worried that it is an insurance fraud."
In fact, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian knew Han Xue's situation very well, so they weren't too surprised to hear the news. They knew that Han Xue wouldn't commit suicide, nor did she have the time or motive to hire someone to kill her to collect insurance money.
Therefore, without any investigation, it can be determined that this is a murder case, and there is a high probability that it was committed by the murderer.
After receiving gloves from their colleague, Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian went to the body and began a routine autopsy.
"Preliminary investigation indicates that the deceased died from a sharp object blow, which is considered a violent death."
At this moment, the insurance manager who had rushed over asked anxiously, "Can you explain more clearly? She just bought insurance and signed the contract with us during the day, and then she was killed that night. What a coincidence! Also, did she have any enemies?"
Bai Mengfei gently shook her head and said, "These are still unclear. As a forensic doctor, all I can determine is the cause and time of death. She was probably killed by a sharp weapon like an axe. As for the time of death, judging from the cloudy pupils, lividity, and rigor mortis, it was about 3 hours ago, which is close to 12 o'clock."
"How could this happen?" The insurance manager looked bewildered.
Bai Mengfei stood up, indignantly asking, "Do you think her life is only worth a few million? As a tour guide, she earns over ten thousand a month, plus bonuses, and she's so young, with no debts. What reason does she have to risk her precious life for a few million?"
"Do you know each other?" the insurance manager asked.
Bai Mengfei nodded, acknowledging the fact.
At this moment, the director personally came over and said to Bai Mengfei, "I have heard about your deeds and know that your efficiency and methods in solving cases are outstanding, unmatched by ordinary people. Therefore, I am entrusting this case to you. As long as you can solve the case, you will take over the position previously held by Forensic Doctor Bai, and you will become the head of the Forensic Identification Center."
Bai Mengfei thought to herself that even if the director didn't make that request, she would still find out the truth and catch the murderer.
Because this murderer is very likely the person who killed her in her past life, she absolutely cannot let him go.
