Chapter 388 The Cause of Death Is Not That Simple

Pei Hui stood up steadily, the protective suit at his knees slightly wrinkled and then quickly rebounded.

He finished the preliminary on-site investigation in the dormitory filled with a solemn atmosphere.

He raised his eyes, sweeping across the messy objects around him, and finally fell on the body of the deceased lying quietly on the ground.

He frowned slightly, and the wrinkles between his eyebrows seemed to hide a myriad of doubts.

His gaze lingered on the body of the deceased for a moment, and that gaze was like a sharp scalpel, trying to penetrate the surface and see through everything.

Immediately, he straightened his spine and, in a low and calm voice, instructed the assistants who were waiting beside him, "Take the deceased back to the autopsy room for further autopsy tests. We must determine the true cause of her death."

His tone was unquestionable, and every word he said was like a hammer, revealing convincing professionalism and authority.

After finishing his instructions, Pei Huiping turned around and walked out of the dormitory with steady steps.

His figure was upright and resolute, and every step he took was extremely confident, as if he was walking on a solid road leading to the truth.

As he walked, his hands skillfully unbuttoned the protective suit on his body. His movements were clean and neat, and each button was unbuttoned accurately, showing the proficiency he had accumulated from doing this job for a long time.

Then, he carefully took off his mask and gloves. His hands seemed to be holding extremely precious objects, and he neatly packed the protective equipment together.

He handed the wrapped protective equipment to Lu Li, with a hint of admonition in his eyes, and said softly: "Handle it properly and don't miss any details."

The voice revealed a serious attitude towards work. Lu Li nodded solemnly, took the item with both hands, her eyes full of importance for this entrustment.

Afterwards, Pei Huiping walked through the busy scene. The voices of conversation and footsteps of his colleagues were intertwined, but he seemed not to hear them.

He walked straight out of the cordon, the sunlight shining unreservedly on his body, outlining his capable figure, and the reflective strips on his protective suit flickered in the sun.

He arrived at the parking space, opened the door and got into the driver's seat, his hands on the steering wheel, his fingers tapping subconsciously.

At this moment, his eyes were somewhat vacant, and his thoughts seemed to still be floating in the dormitory just now. He kept reviewing the entire case and making careful preparations for the subsequent autopsy work.

Outside the cordon, the warm sunlight sprinkled on the ground, forming patches of golden light.

The surrounding noise seemed to be isolated by this quiet corner. Jiang Shuo sat in the back seat of the car, his big watery eyes blinking, full of curiosity and expectation.

At this moment, he leaned forward and asked Pei Huiping in a baby voice: "Uncle Pei, what's going on in there?"

The voice was soft and sticky, as if carrying an irresistible magic, and the ending tone was slightly rising, revealing the innocence unique to children.

Pei Huiping was originally immersed in thinking about the case, with various clues intertwined in his mind.

Jiang Shuo's sudden question brought him back to reality. He was slightly stunned, then turned his head and looked at Jiang Shuo, with a gentle smile on his face, and said softly: "Keep it a secret."

That smile carried a bit of the doting of an elder towards a younger person, but the firmness in the words was unquestionable, and the slightly upward arc of the corners of the mouth was just right.

Jiang Shuo didn't show too much disappointment after hearing this. He just shrugged indifferently. His little adult-like appearance made people laugh.

He blinked, leaned back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, and said seriously, "I understand. I know that when the case is still unclear, you professionals will not speak casually."

His childish words revealed an understanding and maturity beyond his age, and his little head seemed to hold a lot of knowledge.

Upon hearing this, Pei Huiping couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and his face was full of admiration.

He said in a slightly teasing tone: "Wow, I didn't expect you to know so much! Did your father tell you?"

While chatting, he glanced at the silent Mu Xiaoji inconspicuously. He saw Mu Xiaoji with his head down, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.

When Jiang Shuo heard this, he immediately sat up straight and corrected him, "That's not the case!"

Her face suddenly became full of energy, her little chest puffed up high, and she said proudly, "Do you know how powerful my little daddy is?"

The look on his face seemed to be saying that his little father was the most amazing person in the world, with pride shining in his eyes.

Pei Huiping looked at Jiang Shuo's proud look, and a sense of curiosity surged in his heart. A strange look appeared on his face, and he asked: "I know your little father is very powerful, but aren't most children proud of their fathers? You are quite special!"

In his opinion, most children are proud of their parents, but Jiang Shuo always mentions his little daddy, which he finds very interesting.

Jiang Shuo seemed to be used to Pei Huiping's questions. He tilted his head and explained seriously, "Because his Renxin Hospital is very busy, I used to live with Little Daddy. So when Little Daddy took care of me, he taught me all his skills!"

When he said this, a trace of loneliness flashed across Jiang Shuo's eyes, which was the regret for the lack of his father's company, but it was soon replaced by pride, and his little face glowed again.

Mu Xiaoji looked at Jiang Shuo's calm face, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions. His hands were trembling slightly at his sides, and the image of the injured little monster kept appearing in his mind, and the emotion of self-blame overwhelmed him like a tide.

Pei Huiping nodded, seeming to understand Jiang Shuo's situation, but new questions arose in his mind.

He frowned slightly and asked in understanding, "Oh, so Jiang Chengyu has given all his skills to you?"

He knew that Jiang Shuo's little dad, Jiang Chengyu, was an authoritative doctor and a very capable man.

Not only that, Jiang Chengyu is also Luo Jinxi's beloved; when he was pursuing Luo Jinxi before, Jiang Chengyu was an invisible obstacle to him.

Although he is unconscious now, he seems to still be pursuing Luo Jinxi, and there is still an insurmountable gap between them.

He sighed helplessly and looked at Jiang Chengyu who was sleeping soundly in the back seat. He then turned his gaze to the little Jiang Shuo and saw how confident he was. He couldn't help but become curious about his abilities.

Jiang Shuo said jokingly, "Uncle Pei is very smart, it's true."

Pei Huiping's words made Jiang Shuo's eyes suddenly light up like two little stars, and his face shone with pride.

His face was filled with a bright smile, which showed his pride in having little daddy as his backer, as if as long as little daddy was there, he had the most powerful power in the world.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the crime scene. The surroundings were quiet and the cordon swayed gently in the breeze, as if telling what had just happened.

Luo Jinxi walked back from the crowd with light steps, her figure stretched out in the setting sun.

She raised her hand and gently lifted the hair around her ear that was messed up by the breeze. There was a hint of fatigue in her eyes, which was the hard work of running around investigating the case, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and that smile hid her dedication and determination to her work.

Walking to the car, Luo Jinxi reached out to open the door and sat in the passenger seat.

She turned slightly to face Jiang Shuo and Mu Xiaoji in the back seat, and said with an apologetic look on her face: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long!"

The voice was soft and warm, as if carrying a reassuring power; the voice flowed through the car like a warm current.

Jiang Shuo blinked his bright eyes, with an innocent smile on his face, and responded politely: "It's okay, Sister Jinxi, you are busy with business."

His voice was clear and melodious, echoing in the car like a silver bell. In the face of this case full of mysteries, Jiang Shuo's understanding made people feel particularly relieved.

Luo Jinxi looked at Jiang Shuo's cute appearance, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She couldn't help but reach out her hand, pinched Jiang Shuo's nose lovingly, and said with a smile: "You are the most considerate and sensible! No wonder your little dad loves you so much!"

Jiang Shuo's nose was pinched, but he was not angry. Instead, he smiled even more happily. His eyes narrowed into slits, and the corners of his mouth turned up high, revealing two white little fangs, as if he had received the most precious compliment in the world.

Mu Xiaoji, who was sitting next to him, kept his head down with wandering eyes. He couldn't help but look at the little monster.

At this moment, the little monster was sleeping quietly beside him, motionless and unconscious. He looked at the little monster's current state, and his heart was full of guilt and self-blame.

His hands were clenched tightly together, his knuckles turned white from the force, the veins on the back of his hands were slightly bulging, and what had happened before kept appearing in his mind. Those scenes were like lingering shadows that made him miserable.

He thought silently in his heart that if he had been more rational and not so impulsive at the time, perhaps the little beast would not have become what it is now.

Luo Jinxi seemed to notice something strange about Mu Xiaoji. She frowned slightly, and the arc of her brows was full of concern. She looked at Mu Xiaoji with concern, but did not ask immediately.

Then, she changed the subject, turned her head and looked at Pei Huiping, her expression became serious, and asked: "What's the situation of the deceased?"

Pei Huiping held the steering wheel firmly with both hands. The skin on the back of his hands seemed a little tight due to the force. He looked straight ahead and said calmly, "The cause of death is not that simple. We can only confirm the result after the autopsy."

His voice was low and calm, with a professional calmness. As a forensic doctor in this case, he had rich experience and keen insight.

He knew that it would be impossible to determine the true cause of death through preliminary observation alone, and an in-depth autopsy was necessary.

Luo Jinxi nodded thoughtfully and said, "Then, let's go!"

As the engine roared, the car started slowly under Pei Huiping's skillful driving and drove away from the crime scene.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the car windows, making the atmosphere inside the car somewhat solemn.

The car drove away along the road, leaving behind only a faint trail of exhaust, as if trying to cover up the secret behind the case.

But for Luo Jinxi, Pei Huiping, Jiang Shuo and Mu Xiaoji, this is just the beginning, and they are about to face more challenges and mysteries.

And the truth seems to be hidden in layers of fog, waiting for them to uncover it.
