Chapter 186: Cause of Death

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Almost all of the victims were connected to Xue Na. ”

Feng Jing thought of the contents of Meng Heng’s diary and said to Yin Tao, “Li Ting was a nurse who hurt Xue Na in the hospital. Song Yi and Zhang Rui had some issues with Xue Na when they were in school. Yang Ying is Meng Heng’s ex-girlfriend. She had mocked Meng Heng’s current situation before.”

“Are there any other victims that we haven’t found?” Yin Tao remembered that Meng Heng had mentioned the names of other victims before.

“There should be another middle-aged lady called Zhao Ru. She might be Xue”

Nas middle school teacher. We have lost contact with her.” Feng Jing found Zhao Ru based on Xue Na’s connections. However, other than Meng Heng, no one could confirm if she was alive or dead.

“It seems that there are some things that can only be dealt with after Meng Heng comes out of his coma.”

Feng Jing waved at Yin Tao, indicating for her to follow him in.

The two of them walked to the archives room. Feng Jing handed a document in the drawer to Yin Tao and said to her, “This is the case you asked me about at the Linjiang Branch. It was on the news at that time. I’ve sorted out a copy of the relevant information. You can take a look”

Yin Tao looked at the file in her hands. It was Xu Shan’s parents’ case. As there were no other eyewitnesses, the case was recorded as a domestic fire and a misadventure.

The information in the file was very basic. It stated that a short circuit caused a domestic fire, and because the fire happened late at night, it wasn’t stopped in time, and finally Xu Shan’s parents lost their lives in the fire.

“I’ve seen Xu Shan before. There are no obvious burns on her body.” Yin Tao felt that this was a little strange. If the information in the file was accurate, the possibility of Xu Shan escaping unscathed was very low.

“Perhaps the parents did all they could to protect the child.” Feng Jing felt that it was not impossible for Xu Shan to survive. However, since they had not seen the actual site of the fire, no one could be sure what actually happened at that time.

“This report is too scanty.” Yin Tao looked at the autopsy reports on Xu Shan’s parents’ case and frowned.

‘What’s wrong? Do you think there’s a problem?’ Feng Jing has full faith in Yin Tao’s ability. He got nervous seeing her solemn expression.

“The problem is, there doesn’t appear to be any problem. This report is like one of those classic case studies that I read when I was in university.” Yin Tao felt that the autopsy report was too general about the cause of death of Xu Shan’s parents. There was no photo evidence of the scene, it only stated that they died in a domestic fire.

“It’s a pity that this case was not handled by our branch. It’s too difficult to know the situation at that time.” Feng Jing had already spent a lot of effort to obtain this information. If they wanted any more details of the case, the only way was to find the police who conducted the investigation at the scene.

“Let’s start with Xu Shan. That child is the only one who knows the truth. If only she was willing to communicate with us.” Yin Tao felt that Xu Shan was actually a very smart child. Although her actions were a little strange, there should be a reason for this.

As long as Xu Shan could return to normal, she could ask about her parents.

“I’ve contacted Lin Jia. We’ll bring the child to see a psychiatrist tomorrow. We should be able to determine what Xu Shan has experienced through the doctor.’

The psychiatrist Feng Jing knew was very famous both domestically and overseas. He had helped the police solve cases and had also counseled many victims. He should have some experience treating victims like Xu Shan.

“Alright, other than Xu Shan, we can’t get any other clues.” Yin Tao felt that even if there were no problems or suspicions in Xu Shan’s parents’ case, Xu Shan still needed treatment in her current situation. If she continued to be withdrawn, it would definitely be harmful for her development.

Yin Tao and Feng Jing agreed on the time to meet the following day. She then planned to go to the autopsy lab as she hadn’t seen her master, Su Ning, for a while.

Su Ning knew that Yin Tao would sometimes go out on assignments with Feng Jing, so he wouldn’t ask Yin Tao to be on duty unless there was a special situation. There wasn’t much work in the autopsy room, and he and Dr. Zhang could handle the workload.

When Yin Tao arrived at the autopsy lab, Su Ning was sitting at his desk engrossed with a report he was writing.

“Master, what are you busy with?” Yin Tao smiled and walked behind Su Ning, curious about what he was doing.

When Su Ning saw Yin Tao, he put down the pen and paper in his hands. “I’m sorting out my lesson plans. I’m giving a lecture at the Medical University this weekend..”
