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

Chapter 516 Computer

Bai Mengfei stepped forward, sat down beside her, and then said, "Today, the higher-ups reopened the case of your uncle's murder and assigned it to Xiaojie. We hope to clear your uncle's name."

"Oh, so that's what it was about! Actually, I'm not that close to that uncle," Xia Yun said with a slightly evasive tone.

Bai Mengfei's eyes narrowed, and she immediately asked, "How much do you know about his murder?"

"I know a little, but only a tiny bit." Xia Yun frowned, a hesitant look on her face.

Bai Mengfei said seriously, "How much exactly is 'a little bit'? Tell me."

"You want to know even if it's just a little bit?" Xia Yun asked in surprise.

Bai Mengfei nodded firmly.

Xia Yun hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Zhang Jie was also staring intently at her, she finally spoke up: "Okay, actually I know quite a bit about Uncle Xia Dongchi. To put it simply, I knew about his murder, and I was the one who called the police at the time."

"What did you see at that time?" Zhang asked anxiously, eager to solve the case as quickly as possible.

Xia Yun raised her head, pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I don't remember very clearly, after all, it's been so long. But I did tell the police at the time!"

"Do you still remember the scene at that time?" Bai Mengfei asked.

Xia Yun nodded gently and said, "After I went in with the police, I saw blood all over the ground. It was terrifying!" She couldn't help but shudder as she finished speaking.

Seeing that she was genuinely flustered, Bai Mengfei secretly turned to look at Zhang Jie sitting next to her.

The chapter naturally turned its head, its gaze unusually solemn.

After their eyes met, Zhang Jie leaned closer to Bai Mengfei and whispered, "It seems that it won't be easy to get anything useful out of Xia Yun."

Seeing the two whispering to each other, Xia Yun felt a pang of jealousy and stared at Zhang Jie, demanding, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "It's nothing. Please continue. Did you see anything that left a particularly deep impression on you at the time?"

Xia Yun looked up, thought for a while, and said, "By the way, my uncle used to like keeping dogs, but when I went to his house, I didn't see his dog. Later, the police searched almost the entire house, but they still couldn't find the dog."

"Maybe the puppy was frightened and ran away," Bai Mengfei guessed.

Chapter Zhang countered, "That's unlikely. In that situation, a dog usually wouldn't run away so easily."

Bai Mengfei suddenly realized that this matter might be related to the dispute over the family fortune, so she asked again, "Then who inherited your uncle's estate?"

"I'm not sure, it seems like no one has inherited it. His house has been empty for a long time."

The house has been empty for a long time?!

Bai Mengfei immediately thought that she could go there and take a look.

So she suggested, "Shall we take you to see that house?"

Xia Yun was silent for a moment, then declined, saying, "Let's not. I don't have the key, how can I take you there?"

Chapter revealed a hearty smile and said, "It's alright, I have a way to get in."

Next, the three of them went to the place where Xia Dongchi used to live.

Many traces of the past remain clearly visible here. For example, the warning strips are still scattered on the ground.

Chapter stepped forward, used the master key to open the door, then pushed it open and led the two inside.

Upon entering, the three of them were greeted by a strong stench, mixed with a pungent smell of dust.

Clearly, this house has been uninhabited for a long time.

Bai Mengfei quickly looked around and then went in first, while Xia Yun seemed a little scared and followed behind timidly.

Upon entering the living room, the three saw that the marks the police had drawn with white powder years ago were still there, along with some unwashed stains around them.

Chapter suddenly exclaimed, "It's strange. Judging from this scene, there should be many clues. How come the police didn't find out who the murderer was back then?"

Bai Mengfei raised her head slightly, recalled for a moment, and said, "Because at the scene that year, apart from the fingerprints of the victim Xia Dongchi himself, there were no other fingerprints or footprints."

"How did you know?" Zhang asked in surprise.

Bai Mengfei thought for a moment and said confidently, "If there were any, forensic doctor Bai would definitely have recorded them back then."

"Alright, you have a point." Zhang Jie secretly agreed with Bai Mengfei's statement.

They then searched the house together for clues.

Bai Mengfei went upstairs to the study and found that although the victim, Xia Dongchi, was rich, he was an eligible bachelor because of his unattractive appearance.

There's a computer in the study that hasn't been powered on in a long time; it might contain important information.

In addition, Bai Mengfei also discovered the account book left behind by Xia Dongchi before his death. The account book contained clear and organized records, including details of personal income tax and other items, and there was no evidence of tax evasion.

Just as Bai Mengfei was intently examining the document, a "click" sound suddenly came from behind her.

"Who?" Bai Mengfei quickly turned around and found that it was Zhang Jie who had walked up behind her.

Zhang smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "It's me."

As he walked in, Zhang Jie said, "This place has been abandoned for so long, there's probably nothing left to investigate, right?"

Bai Mengfei gently shook her head and said seriously, "No! I think there are definitely many things worth investigating here. Could you power on that computer? I think there might be important clues hidden inside."

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Zhang Jie quickly walked to the computer, looked at it, and muttered, "Is that really possible? This computer has been sitting here for so long, it might already be broken."

"Can you fix it?" Bai Mengfei asked coldly.

Zhang Jie immediately adopted a serious expression and said, "Actually, it's not particularly difficult to repair, but it will take some time. So, take this computer back to my place and let me take a look."

"Then what are you waiting for? Do you want me to help you move it?"

Upon hearing Bai Mengfei's words, Zhang Jie immediately disassembled the computer host and monitor, intending to move them separately.

When Xia Yun came upstairs and saw this, she felt sorry for Zhang Jie doing such heavy work, so she quickly came over and said, "Let me help you."

"No need!" Zhang Jie refused her. "I can do it myself."

It wasn't until evening that the three of them waited at Zhang Jie's place for him to fix his computer. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jie was somewhat timid in this regard.

He was worried that the computer might explode after being plugged in, so he held the plug in his hand, eager to try, but never dared to plug it in.
