The Genius Female Forensic Pathologist, The Psychological Anatomist-Chapter 208
Wang's words had a comforting effect. Mu Mian tried her best to calm herself down.
She had to catch the murderer who killed Chen Xue.
They began to inspect the scene.
The items and furnishings in the living room were relatively tidy, with no signs of a violent struggle. There were three splatters of blood and a trail of bloody footprints in the room, connecting the two bodies.
The bloody footprints were quickly confirmed to belong to Chen Xue, as the size and pattern of the shoe prints matched the shoes she was wearing.
Director Chen had been stabbed twice in the heart, each strike precise and fatal. There were no defensive wounds on his body, and the blood splatters were not chaotic, indicating that Director Chen had not resisted.
Chen Xue had blood splatters on her hair, face, and clothes. She had been stabbed once in the chest, the blade piercing her heart, causing her to quickly die from excessive blood loss.
From the scene, they deduced the sequence of events: Chen Xue suddenly stabbed Director Chen in the heart, and after he fell to the ground, she stabbed him a second time. After Director Chen died, Chen Xue walked over to the sofa and stabbed herself in the heart.
Wang asked in confusion, "Why did Chen Xue suddenly kill Director Chen? He was her father. Why would she suddenly commit murder?"
Another person chimed in, "Could Chen Xue have been hypnotized? Otherwise, why would she suddenly kill someone?"
Mu Mian carefully examined Chen Xue's body, going over it again and again. She noticed some minor abrasions in Chen Xue's mouth and what appeared to be scratches in her esophagus.
Had Chen Xue been forced to swallow something?
In the autopsy room.
Mu Mian opened Chen Xue's abdominal cavity and removed her stomach. She cut open the stomach and found no food—Chen Xue hadn't eaten for a long time. Inside, Mu Mian discovered a hard object wrapped in plastic.
She picked it up and saw that the plastic film seemed to contain a piece of paper.
Mu Mian first asked Wang to check for fingerprints.
"No fingerprints," Wang reported.
Mu Mian cut open the plastic film and took out the paper inside. It was a handwritten letter, the handwriting messy and hurried.
[To Mu Mian:
Is it you who performed the autopsy on my body? I think it must be. You're so professional; you would calmly examine my body, notice something unusual, and find this letter. I was afraid they would destroy my letter, so I had no choice but to hide it in my stomach.
I'm sorry, I deceived you. I'm not a good person. I was a mole they planted in the police force. They were afraid the police would discover the bodies of the experimental subjects, so they sent me into the City Police Bureau. If such bodies were found, I could alter the autopsy reports to cover up the truth.
The plan was going smoothly at first. I had interned at the City Police Bureau before, and if nothing unexpected happened, I was sure to take over the position of the forensic examiner, Qin. But then, Mu Mian, your arrival disrupted my plans.

So, at first, I didn't like you. You're a genius, and your brilliance was too dazzling, hurting me. At that moment, I realized that all my hard work paled in comparison to the natural talent you were born with.
But to stay, I had no choice but to befriend you. I knew the director would assign an assistant to you, someone who didn't understand social interactions, and as your good friend, I would be the best candidate. Sure enough, I became your assistant.
To avoid raising suspicions, I even pretended to be clueless and joined Zhang in his antics. I acted like a cheerful, outgoing, and somewhat unprofessional forensic examiner, but in reality, I wasn't like that at all. Though perhaps, I had once wished I could be an optimistic and cheerful person.
The first task I received was to stop the police from investigating the missing fetal bodies.
Originally, I didn't even need to intervene, as most people wouldn't care about those children's bodies. But you were different. You even performed DNA tests on those fetuses. You wanted to help them find their mothers. This would expose the secret of their disappearances.
I had to stop you from continuing the investigation. Fortunately, after spending those days with you, I had come to understand you well. I knew you cared deeply about being abandoned by your mother, so I deliberately misled you, stopping you from investigating the children's whereabouts.
The second task I received was to teach you about friendship and love.
I was confused. I didn't understand why they wanted me to do this. But I did it anyway. I deliberately got close to Zhang and made him fall in love with me. He was foolish and quickly fell for me. I deliberately used my relationship with Zhang to show you what love was, constantly guiding you to understand and experience it.
Later, I seemed to understand why they wanted me to do this. You wanted to become a normal person, and to do that, you needed to have emotions. Your sister is an excellent therapist, but she protected you too well, depriving you of the chance to experience complex environments. That's why you were always emotionally dull. I was simply a guide, helping you perceive emotions faster.
I always thought of myself as a rational person, but at some point, I seemed to change. I started to enjoy my current life and even grew to like you as a friend. Your world is so simple; it's enviable.
It's easy to get lost in a role you've been playing for too long. Zhang's mother once said she didn't think I loved her son. I vehemently denied it, and in that moment, I realized I had grown to like Zhang too.
Emotions are uncontrollable. When Zhang's mother tried to stop us from being together, I even thought about quitting my job. But quitting wouldn't just mean leaving my job; it would also mean abandoning my undercover mission. And they wouldn't allow that.
Chen Shu's appearance shattered my peaceful life. Because I received my third task: to kill Chen Shu.
It was a risky move, as I knew I might be exposed. But I had no choice but to accept the mission.
Chen Shu had been exposed. She didn't want to live, nor could she continue to live. So when she entered the interrogation room, she gave me a look, signaling me to kill her.
Do you remember the bag of rat poison you brought back from Lu Tian's house? When we were testing for toxins, I stole a bit of it. I knew then that I would eventually use it. When Wang went in to see Chen Shu, I handed her a cup of water to give to Chen Shu. The water was laced with rat poison.
Chen Shu knew there was poison in it. She would drink the water just before leaving the interrogation room, pretending to sip it during the interrogation to avoid suspicion. Then she would hold it in until the transport vehicle left the police station, where she would let the guards discover she had been poisoned.
After Chen Shu died, I replaced the paper cup in the trash and smeared rat poison solution on her collar. After it dried, I sent her clothes for testing.
It wasn't a perfect plan, and I even suspected you already knew the truth.
The final task I received was to kill my father.
When the child with Down syndrome appeared, I knew there was a traitor among us. I immediately informed them. But I didn't expect Zhang to get injured while tailing Director Liu. It was then that I learned the traitor was my father.
Seeing Zhang lying motionless in bed, my heart turned to ash. I wanted to kill myself, but before that, I had to avenge Zhang.
The organization promised me they would make Bai Jing, who acted without authorization, pay the price. In return, I had to kill someone for them—someone I had long wanted to kill: my father. They kept their promise, and so did I. I finally avenged Zhang.
Mu Mian, if Zhang dies, bury me with him. Choose the most beautiful cemetery for us.
If he survives, tell him I was always lying. I never loved him. The engagement ring is in the drawer of Zhang's hospital room. Please return it to him.
Mu Mian, I'm sorry. I can't betray my organization. I can only tell you this much. Please stop investigating this matter. Let it end here. You can't defeat them.
Mu Mian, don't grieve for me. You will have more friends and a happy life in the future.
Mu Mian, goodbye!]
