The Genius Female Forensic Pathologist, The Psychological Anatomist

Chapter 131

After the vacation, Mu Mian just arrived at the office when she found it crowded with people, both familiar and unfamiliar female colleagues. Each of them held a cup of milk tea, with Chen Xue in the middle.

"Little Mu, the forensic scientist, Chen Xue is getting married, you know that, right? Here, have some milk tea. Chen Xue said you like this." Wen from the finance department handed Mu Mian a cup of milk tea. Seeing Mu Mian's surprised expression, she continued, "Okay, you didn't know! You share an office with Chen Xue, and you didn't know anything?"

"Yes, I'm not very well-informed."

"Then next time there's gossip, I'll share it with you on WeChat. Ah, we haven't added each other on WeChat yet. Let's do it now. I'll scan your code."

Chen Xue quickly explained, "Mu Mian, I only found out about this recently."

"Zhang's friend circle said his mother-in-law is very satisfied with him. They've met the family, so they must be getting married!"

"Zhang is so lucky to marry such a good girl like Chen Xue."

"Alright, alright, when Zhang and I get married, we'll definitely invite everyone to the wedding. It's time to get back to work, everyone should return to their offices." Chen Xue quickly ushered the gossiping colleagues out, "Everyone, disperse, don't disturb Mian."

"I wasn't disturbed," Mu Mian clarified softly.

"You were!"

"Ah, it's so noisy! There are too many people, the oxygen is so thin, I'm going to suffocate!"

"……"

The gossip was over, and the milk tea was almost finished. Everyone returned to their offices.

Chen Xue turned around and saw Mu Mian looking at her with envy.

"Mu Mian, what's wrong?"

"How did you get Zhang to agree to marry you?"

Chen Xue blushed and said in a high-pitched voice, "We're not getting married, it's all just rumors. What do you mean 'get Zhang to agree to marry me'? He proposed to me, and I might not even agree, let alone me proposing to him. He's dreaming!"

"You don't plan to get married?"

"Of course, we will, but not now. We've just started dating, we don't want to rush into marriage. Marriage and dating are two different things." Chen Xue felt something was off with Mu Mian. Mu Mian usually didn't gossip about such things, "Mu Mian, why are you so interested in the topic of marriage?"

"I used to think that people with autism couldn't get married, but yesterday, Ms. Michell told me that I can get married."

"So?" Chen Xue took a sip of milk tea and casually asked, "You're not thinking of getting married, are you?"

Mu Mian nodded seriously, "Yes. I want to marry Fang Rui."

Chen Xue spat out her milk tea onto her desk, "Mian, are you still thinking about Fang Rui's body?" Chen Xue could only think of this reason. Otherwise, why would Mu Mian suddenly want to get married? She hasn't even dated, what marriage? The process isn't right.

Mu Mian felt Chen Xue was wrong. If it were a year ago, Mu Mian wanted to marry Fang Rui to get his body, but now it seemed to be more than that. Love movies say that getting married means you can be with that person forever. She wants to be with Fang Rui forever.

Mu Mian didn't answer Chen Xue's question, "Chen Xue, what should I do to get Fang Rui to agree to marry me?"

"Go find Fang Rui now and ask him if he'll marry you."

"Now?"

"Yes."

"Do I need to use sophisticated language skills? Like quoting poetry or other rhetorical devices." Mu Mian asked.

"Can you?"

"No!"

"So no need, just ask directly."

Mu Mian left the office.

Chen Xue finished a bun and was about to start on the second when Mu Mian walked in.

"Did he agree?"

"There's a case, someone came to confess to a murder, Fang Rui is currently understanding the details. Chen Xue, what do you think the body will look like this time? The murderer confessed themselves, so the victim's family probably won't let me dissect the body. This murderer is too honest."

Chen Xue bit the straw, perhaps, in Mu Mian's heart, bodies are still more important.

In the interrogation room, a beautiful young woman sat nervously on a chair. Her eyes were dark and bloodshot, her hair was messy, and she looked like she hadn't slept for days, very haggard.

"What's your name?"

"Zhang Mingli."

"Your age and occupation?"

"Twenty-five years old, freelance, I'm an architectural designer, usually taking commissions to draw interior design plans."

"Why are you here to confess?"

She licked her cracked lips and said in a trembling voice, "Comrade police, I think I accidentally killed someone!"

"Think? Are you not sure if you killed someone?" Fang Rui asked.

"Yes, I'm not sure if I killed someone, but my mind has an extra memory, I pushed a man down the stairs with my own hands, he rolled down and bled a lot. He's dead!"

"When did this happen?"

"I don't remember."

"What was the scene like?"

"I can't remember. I only remember that day the sun was very good, but the house was very cold."

"Where is the crime scene? Take us there." Fang Rui said.

"It's my new home... Comrade police, but the body is missing. I don't know where that body went." Zhang Mingli said in terror, "I clearly remember the body was on the floor, but it's gone!"

"Do you know the deceased?"

Zhang Mingli shook her head, "No. I can't remember his face. He has no face. But I seem to be very afraid of him!"

"Then why was he in your house?"

"I don't know. I don't know why he came to my house, and I don't know why I killed him. But I'm very sure, I killed him." Zhang Mingli held her head, saying in terror, "Comrade police, what should I do, I killed someone, am I going to jail?"

Fang Rui and Zhang exchanged glances, they felt this woman's mental state might be problematic.

"Comrade police, I'm not crazy, what I said is true! You have to believe me!" Zhang Mingli pitifully looked at Fang Rui and Zhang, "I admit my crime, and I accept the judgment of the law. But you can't think I'm crazy!"

"How about this, Miss Zhang, can you take us to the crime scene?" Fang Rui said.

Hearing Fang Rui believed her, she calmed down a bit and asked, "Okay. Can I take you there now?"

"Can you give me the contact information of your relatives?" Fang Rui said, "If you really are the murderer, your relatives need to sign some documents, so it's better to inform me in advance."

"My mother just passed away, my aunt is out of town, there's only my uncle in Jiangzhou City, his name is Zhang Taotao, you can contact him." Zhang Mingli wrote her uncle's phone number on a piece of paper.

"You rest here for a while, we'll go to your house with you later to see if we can find the body."

"Okay, Comrade police, thank you so much!"

Aliali: 673ebb7bc4f3f33ac4eea64cAfter leaving the interrogation room, Fang Rui contacted Zhang Mingli's uncle.

"Hello, we are the police station, are you Mr. Zhang, Zhang Mingli's uncle?" Fang Rui asked.

"Yes, what happened to Mingli? This child usually behaves well, how did she end up at the police station?" The person on the other end of the phone asked anxiously.

"What is Zhang Mingli's usual mental state like, does she have any mental illness?"

"This child is quite normal! Just a bit introverted, not very talkative. Ah, she grew up in a single-parent family, her mother was like that, it's normal for her to have a strange personality."

"What was wrong with her mother?" Fang Rui asked.

"Her mother was a mental patient. She recently passed away from stomach cancer. Mingli moved back to Jiangzhou because of this."

"Okay, thank you!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang said, "Boss, Zhang Mingli might be mentally ill too. Look, she can't remember anything when we ask her."

"It's possible. But we still need to go to the crime scene to see if there really was a murder."
