Watching Yin Tao’s departing figure, Xi Feng had a trace of warmth in his eyes as he whispered to Feng Jing, “I didn’t expect her to trust me so much. Feng Jing, it’s already a blessing in disguise to have you guys with me. ‘

Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao’s petite figure squatting beside the corpse. He suddenly felt a pang of pain. Unknowingly, he seemed to have distanced himself from Yin Tao. Yin Tao hadn’t even spoken to him just now. Feng Jing felt a little upset deep inside. He didn’t like the feeling of being forgotten.

“I’m afraid we have to let Captain Chen take over this case. We were together yesterday, so we should avoid suspicion.”

Xi Feng nodded. He could understand Feng Jing’s concerns. “It’s fine. I was in the company almost the entire day yesterday. I met you in the afternoon and Liang Yi at night. I should have an alibi throughout.”

“Liang YP Do you have much contact with him?’ Feng Jing remembered that Xi Feng and Liang Yi were working together. Now that there was a murder case, Feng Jing had to be more vigilant towards Liang Yi.

‘Yes, we interact quite a lot. After all, there are many things to discuss. We usually meet at restaurants and at the office. We only talk about work.”

Xi Feng suddenly thought of the last time Liang Yi asked about Yin Tao and reminded Feng Jing, “I’ve told Xiaotao that Liang Yi had asked about her before.

Could it be that they have interacted before?”

“They did have some contact, but it’s all indirect. Liang Yi doesn’t know Xiaotao, so you don’t have to worry too much. If he asks again next time, just say you are not sure.” Feng Jing couldn’t confirm Liang Yi’s identity. He should be related to the black market, but from the looks of it, Liang Yi had been lying low.

Xi Feng cooperated with Feng Jing and gave him a statement. Yin Tao helped Dr. Su conduct a general examination of the corpse.

“Master, the time of death should be less than 24 hours. The fatal injury is unknown, but from the color of his livor mortis and the facial characteristics, it’s very likely that he died from poisoning.”

Yin Tao’s analysis was very clear, and it saved Su Ning a lot of work. “We still have to conduct the autopsy and find out what the poison was.”

Su Ning put the corpse into the bag and gestured for Yin Tao to come closer.

“Do you know the person who reported the case just now?”

Yin Tao knew that Su Ning was referring to Xi Feng, so she nodded. However, she saw that Su Nings expression was a little solemn. He lowered his voice and whispered into Yin Tao’s ear, “You should keep a distance from him. The first person to report the crime is always a suspect. You have to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, you won’t be able to participate in the investigation.”

Yin Tao understood Su Nings intentions. Feng Jing probably couldn’t handle Xi Feng’s case as they had a close relationship, and doing so would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

“Master, this can’t be the first event location of the crime. Brother Xi Feng won’t be too suspicious.”

Yin Tao’s complete trust in Xi Feng made Su Ning cast aside his doubts. He knew his disciple very well. Although Yin Tao was petite and kind, she was very discerning. Su Ning didn’t think that Yin Tao would allow her emotions to get the better of her. He completely trusted her ability to crack the case.

Xi Feng followed the police car back to the police station. Yin Tao and Su Ning rushed to the autopsy lab together. They had already contacted the victim’s family. Su Ning and Yin Tao were ready to conduct the autopsy.

“Master, I can do it myself. You can just guide me from the side.” Yin Tao held the scalpel skillfully and cut through the corpse’s skin layer by layer.

Looking at Yin Tao’s clean moves, Su Ning stood at the side feeling proud and pleased. Su Ning was very happy to witness Yin Tao’s growth and development. His little disciple was becoming more and more capable of taking charge.

Yin Tao extracted the stomach fluid and carefully stitched up the corpse. Every time she performed an autopsy, she maintained the completeness of the corpse to the greatest extent.

Yin Tao began to inspect the victim ‘s head, slowly extending downwards until she reached the victim’s left arm. Yin Tao’s eyes darkened.

“Master, there’s a needle mark here.’

Su Ning looked in the direction Yin Tao pointed and indeed saw a very small needle mark.

This needle mark reminded Su Ning and Yin Tao of the Wei Corporation’s case not long ago. What they had in common was that the deceased should have been injected with some medicine when she was alive.

“Looks like this case isn’t so simple.”

Yin Tao’s intuition told her that the victim in front of her was very likely to be the same as the Wei Corporation’s drug case. Not only was the murderer’s modus operandi brilliant, but he also had many red herrings to conceal the truth..
