what's in the depths

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Zhu Yuhan felt his heart go cold for a while.

But he can only comfort himself with "Chu Rong may be really busy", after all, he is not the kind of narrow-minded person, just because he said something unpleasant, he will play a small temper.

It’s just that some things comforted me at the time, and the more I thought about it afterwards, the angrier I became, and the more I thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

I simply want to call Tong Si and ask him how he got the location of his cell phone, and also locate Chu Rong's current location by himself.

As if he had a tacit understanding, just as he was about to call Tong Si, Tong Si called Tong Si pre-emptively.

"Hey, Team Zhu, I checked the surveillance video of the dormitory in those few days, and it's true that Yang Minjie never went back to the dormitory."

"Huh?" Zhu Yuhan asked, "Then he is renting a house off campus?"

"It should be. I asked his classmates in the dormitory next door, and they said that Yang Minjie's dormitory has been empty for three or four months."

"Okay, then wait for me, I will pass right now

go. "Hung up the phone, not wanting to worry about Chu Rong anymore, Zhu Yuhan drove straight to the New Normal University.

The New Normal University is located in the suburbs and the terrain is low. The continuous rain in the past few days has accumulated into a shallow river near the New Normal University. As soon as Zhu Yuhan got out of the car, he stepped on the ground, and the muddy water splashed all over him.

From afar, he saw Tong Si standing at the main entrance of the Normal University, holding a pancake in his hand, looking at his phone while chewing.

Zhu Yuhan stumbled through the stagnant water and came to Tong Si's side, stretched his head and said, "Give me a bite, I haven't eaten for a day, I'm about to starve to death."

Tong Si hid his hands behind his back in disgust: "If you want to eat, go buy it yourself. I'll take a bite and you take a bite. What's the difference between this and an indirect kiss? I don't want to eat your saliva."

"Be stingy." Zhu Yuhan glanced at him.

"Really, if Tongtong takes a bite, I'll take a bite, you? Gewu Enyuan." Tong Si said, and hurriedly turned around and stuffed the rest of the finger biscuits into his mouth, and chewed He proudly showed off to Zhu Yuhan.

"As long as you have so many fucking things, it's good if I don't dislike you." Zhu Yuhan rolled his eyes, walked to his car, and unlocked the car, "Come on, we are going to the neighborhood opposite the Normal University now .”

Tong Si muttered: "Really, if I like you, don't ask for a bite, I don't mind if you let me eat what's in your mouth, but the problem is, I beg..."

"That's enough, stop talking." Zhu Yuhan interrupted him, "Hurry up."

I put the ignition in gear, and just released the clutch, but Zhu Yuhan's feet suddenly stopped there.

Because I lived with Fu Huaiyu for a long time, eating and drinking together, and sharing items, sometimes I didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing, but what the female forensic doctor and Tong Si said today suddenly woke him up.

Some people have always been obsessed with the cleanliness of their personal belongings. Let alone using them, they may feel dirty even if they touch them. Just like when I was eating with Tong Si Churong before, Tong Sihuabao pretended to please Chu Rong with his own chopsticks. After picking up the food, although Chu Rong didn't say anything, he never moved the food that Tong Si picked up for him.

And when Chu Rong was sick and went to visit him at his home, he was eating porridge and asked himself if he wanted to eat some together.

Could it be that he... has that kind of meaning for himself?

But isn't he a straight man?

Sure enough, there are some things that cannot be investigated deeply. Maybe they are nothing at first, but the more I think about it, the more I feel that something is wrong.

"Zhu team, drive, why are you standing there?" Tong Si swallowed the pancakes, wiped his mouth, and waited for a long time, but Zhu team waited for a long time as if they had lost their souls, but there was no movement.

Zhu Yuhan turned off the fire, turned sideways, and looked at Tong Si seriously: "I want to ask you a question."

"Lan Xiang."

"No." Zhu Yuhan was not in the mood to joke with him, "Let me ask you, if a clean freak invites you to eat the same bowl of food with him, or he doesn't mind if you use his drinking cup, then he What is your attitude towards you..."

"I like it." Tong Si replied without hesitation, "I like it very much, the kind that goes deep into the bone marrow."

Zhu Yuhan tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and asked for confirmation without giving up: "What if he is a man."

"It's rare for men to fall in love with men these days. You should know this kind of thing better than me. There's no need to make such a fuss."

This time, Zhu Yuhan was finally silent.

"He likes you so he is willing to endure the torture caused by cleanliness and exchange saliva with you. The most typical manifestation is that he will care about your opinion of him and want to become that kind of near-perfect person in your eyes. Maybe you If you scold him, he will be sad for a long time, and even subconsciously feel that you are his property. If you are out of his control, he will feel very uneasy, and even try to get your attention by being petty. Otherwise, to be honest, Do you care what Huang Jiu thinks of you?"

"will not."

Tong Si shrugged: "This is the end."

After finishing speaking, I felt wrong again: "If you invite me truthfully, am I going to cuckold Team Leader Fu?"

"No...no." Zhu Yuhan said guiltily, "I asked for a friend."

Tong Si smiled smugly: "I understand, I understand. I have a series of friends. I wish the team. It's 9012. Do you still plan to let your friends take the blame?"

"Shut up, knowing too much will lead to death." Zhu Yuhan glared at him, released the handbrake, and kicked the accelerator to blast out.

Because I have always maintained the idea that "I and Chu Rong are just good partners", so after a long time, this has become a routine thinking, no matter how incredible things happen to him or what he thinks about himself. How strange is the attitude, as long as I avoid this kind of conventional thinking, I still won't think about it at a deeper level.

As for Chu Rong, I am afraid that he has never formed the same conventional thinking as himself in this regard.

To be honest, Zhu Yuhan himself felt terrified when he got this kind of answer, and couldn't be happy.

He didn't want to have such a relationship with Chu Rong that was more than friendship, because he would only delay him, and he couldn't make any promises to him.

He also finally understood why Fu Huaiyu had always disliked Chu Rong anyway.

It turns out that the reason is just the answer that I have been avoiding.

Maybe I have understood it a long time ago, but I have been subconsciously telling myself not to think too much. It is unfair to Chu Rong or Fu Huaiyu to think too much.

Damn, why is he so attractive? It turns out that being too attractive is not a good thing——

Once I understand this matter, I feel like I have a pimple in my heart, which is very uncomfortable, and my attention is always unconsciously drawn astray.

Zhu Yuhan and Tong Si went to the community and inquired from the property management office the property payment list for the past few months, one by one. After checking and checking, Zhu Yuhan unexpectedly saw Chu Rong's name.

Take a closer look, it's not Chu Rong, but Zhu Yi.

He sighed, and Tong Si on the side gave him a timely hand: "Team Zhu, look, here is a payment list with Yang Minjie's name written on it."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuhan hurried over to check.

He wrote down the account number on this payment list, and found the landlord's contact information from the property, and notified the landlord to come and open the door.

When the landlord saw the police, he called it unlucky, saying that he thought he was a student and rented the house to him and he would not mess around. It turned out to be a good thing. If others knew that this house had lived in a murderer's mental illness before, who would dare to rent it? .

With that said, the landlord opened the door.

It was very dark in the room, and all the windows were covered by curtains so that no light could come in.

The landlord quickly drew the curtains and opened the windows for ventilation.

Several people came to Yang Minjie's bedroom, and when the door was opened, a faint smell came out.

Several people walked into Yang Minjie's room and turned on the light. The landlord still scolded the brat for throwing his smelly sneakers and socks here, and said that his parents must compensate him for mental damage.

I just searched for a long time and couldn't find the smelly shoes and socks.

Zhu Yuhan smelled the slight stench, but found that the stench came from the closet.

He and Tong Si looked at each other, they nodded, and kicked open the closet.

The landlord was dumbfounded, and hurried over to stop the two: "This cabinet is not locked, you can just open it, if you kick it, you will pay for it."

Under a pile of old-fashioned and shabby plaid shirts, an urn was placed squarely there.

When the landlord saw it, his heart almost stopped beating. He tremblingly pointed at the urn: "Here, this little bastard, don't let me see him again, or I'll give him a discount."

Some wet and sticky black soil was scattered around the urn. They took the box out and collected the soil to make a comparison with the soil found on the body of the deceased Dong Lin.

A black-and-white photo was pasted on the urn, which was the professor of the Normal University whose grave was dug up at that time.

In addition, they also found glass bottles containing blood and a large bag of needles from the refrigerator, and found a record book about the "Black Mass" on Yang Minjie's bed.

Zhu Yuhan weighed the notebook and sneered, "I think this kid has something to say now."

The two of them hurried back to the police station after they had gone to the landlord. Zhu Yuhan stuffed the collected evidence into Zhou Xiaoran's hands and said, "You go to the research institute now and ask them to make a test with the victim on the soil and blood. Compared."

Zhou Xiaoran nodded blankly, took the evidence and walked to the bathroom.

"Why are you going?" Zhu Yuhan called to stop her.

Zhou Xiaoran said "ah" absent-mindedly, turned around and walked out, and turned back after walking halfway: "What did you just say?"

"Why do you look like you have lost your soul, girl? I told you to go to the research institute and find Chu Rong and the others to compare the soil and blood with the victim Dong Lin."

Zhou Xiaoran got into the evidence bag and murmured in a low voice: "Indeed, I lost my soul..."

With that said, I'm about to go out.

Zhu Yuhan held her back: "What's wrong with you, what happened?"

"No, nothing." Zhou Xiaoran lowered his head, broke away from Zhu Yuhan, and ran out in a hurry.

Zhu Yuhan looked at her back and shook his head helplessly. Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly saw a card on the ground.

He picked it up, glanced at it, and found that it was a hotel key card, and it was written on the customer signature column:

See you at eleven o'clock.

Zhu Yuhan snickered: "Sister Ran will probably become Mrs. Ran tonight."

He put the key card back on Zhou Xiaoran's desk, and was about to leave when he felt something was wrong.

Zhu Yuhan stepped back, picked up the door card again, looked at the line of vigorous and small characters, and instantly opened his eyes wide.

The appearance of Chu Rong when he signed came to mind.

This...was written by Chu Rong?

------------

The heavy rain did not stop until evening, and the accumulated water receded, leaving a light-colored sludge.

Chu Rong sat on the bed with his legs crossed elegantly, with a copy of Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" on his lap.

He was wearing a nightgown and was wiping his wet hair with a towel.

But suddenly heard a rapid knock on the door.

He subconsciously looked at the clock, and found that it was only ten o'clock, and there was still an hour before the time agreed with Zhou Xiaoran.

At this time, who will it be?

When Chu Rong just walked to the door and was about to see who was coming through the peephole, there was an electronic sound of card swiping, and the door was opened.

Outside the door, Zhu Yuhan stood with an angry face.

Chu Rong was stunned for a moment, and at that moment, a headache struck, and the pain spread to the whole body along the blood.

"Chu Rong, what do you want to do." Zhu Yuhan threw the key card in Chu Rong's arms, "What do you want to do to Xiaoran!"

Chu Rong rubbed his temples, raised his bloodshot eyes and glanced at him, stepped aside, and leaned against the wall in pain: "Men and women love each other, you love me, you want to take care of it?"

When Zhu Yuhan heard this, his eyes burned with anger. He grabbed Chu Rong's skirt and asked, "Then let me ask you, will you marry her after this kind of thing happens, and will you be responsible for her?"

Chu Rong was still rubbing his temples, water droplets fell down his hair.

After a while, he intends to answer with certainty: "No."

"Then why do you!" Zhu Yuhan wanted to punch him, but the fist turned when it fell and landed on the wall next to Chu Rong's face.

The pain overwhelmed his rationality, and Chu Rong only felt his body fluttering, and his body slid down uncontrollably.

Kneeling on the ground, he suddenly reached out and hugged Zhu Yuhan's waist, like a dying man grasping the last straw that could save his life.

Zhu Yuhan panicked, he hurriedly grabbed Chu Rong, and asked him what was wrong.

Chu Rong stretched out a hand and pointed at the bedside table: "Medicine, the medicine is inside, can you bring it for me..."

In an instant, Zhu Yuhan was really out of breath. Fearing that something might happen to Chu Rong, he quickly helped him to lie on the bed, opened the drawer of the bedside table, found a small white bottle and asked, "Is this the bottle?" medicine?"

Chu Rong glanced, then nodded weakly.

After watching Chu Rong take the medicine and lie down, Zhu Yuhan helped him cover the quilt, stood aside for a while, and planned to leave first.

"Didn't you have something to tell me..." Chu Rong looked at him with his head tilted and asked angrily.

Zhu Yuhan scratched his nose and said in embarrassment: "You should rest first, we will talk about it tomorrow."

As for Chu Rong, he stretched out his hand and gently grabbed his clothes, looking like a sick and pitiful child.

"Will you stay with me tonight?"

Seeing Chu Rong's appearance that he might return home at any time, the words of refusal came to his lips and he swallowed them again.

Zhu Yuhan had no choice but to sit beside his bed, and replied in a comforting tone: "Yes, you can rest at ease."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Chu Rong forced the corners of his mouth into a smile, then closed his eyes heavily, but kept grabbing the corner of Zhu Yuhan's clothes.

Fu Huaiyu sent a message asking why he didn't go back. Zhu Yuhan said to wait a while, there are still some things to deal with, and he will go home when he finishes.

After hanging up the phone, he just sat by Chu Rong's bed in a daze.

Time passed by one minute and one second, the hour hand pointed to eleven, and the knock on the door sounded at the right time.

Zhu Yuhan looked at Chu Rong on the bed, and after confirming that he was fast asleep, he gently pulled his hand away and stuffed it into the bed, and tiptoed over to open the door.

As expected, it was Zhou Xiaoran standing at the door.

Seeing that it was Zhu Yuhan who opened the door, Zhou Xiaoran panicked and backed away on both hands and feet.

Zhu Yuhan closed the door and looked at Zhou Xiaoran.

"Zhu, Zhuzhu, why are you here..." Zhou Xiaoran's tone was full of tears.

"Chu Rong is not feeling well. He took medicine and fell asleep. Let's go first."

He didn't question Zhou Xiaoran why he did this, knowing that it was a fruitless love affair, but rushed over like moths to a flame without hesitation.

Zhou Xiaoran was sitting in the car, holding the two cups of coffee he bought on the way here. Because he accidentally lost his key card, he was still thinking about how to apologize to Chu Rong. The team took it.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoran's nervousness, Zhu Yuhan turned on the music player and picked a soothing song, trying to ease Zhou Xiaoran's anxiety next time.

He smiled and asked, "Can I have coffee?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoran quickly handed over a cup of coffee: "Yes, yes..."

Zhu Yuhan opened the coffee and took a sip. It was slightly bitter and only a little sugar was added, but it was Chu Rong's favorite taste.

"How old is this year? I'm 27 years old." Zhu Yuhan drank his coffee and watched the pedestrians hurrying outside the window.

Zhou Xiaoran nodded.

"Don't have a boyfriend yet?"

Zhou Xiaoran shook his head.

"Do you like to store forensic medicine?"

Zhou Xiaoran clenched the paper bag of coffee in his hand, and after a while, he nodded hesitantly.

"However, even if you like it, you have to think clearly about whether there will be results. If it's just wishful thinking and unrequited love, if it's just an unconscious invitation from him to let go of himself, what should we do in the future?"

Zhou Xiaoran was clutching the paper bag in his hand, and suddenly started to cry.

She wiped her eyes with her sleeve, opened her mouth, and her voice trembled: "But, but I just like him, what can I do?"

Zhu Yuhan sighed softly, took out a few tissues and handed them over.

Zhou Xiaoran didn't take the tissue, lowered her head, and burst into tears.

"I've liked him for six years, and I've been thinking about him every day. Today, I finally gave me such a chance. Even if I fell into some so-called bottomless pit later, I would admit it. I'm already 27 years old. Really. I am no longer young, how much youth can I continue to spend..."

Hearing Zhou Xiaoran's cry, Zhu Yuhan felt his heart was tightened and aching.

Zhou Xiaoran was brought all the way here by him, and he followed him since she first entered the police station, and he always treated her like his own sister, and he was more anxious about her life-long affairs than she was, but if it were anyone, even if it was a love interest Even a scumbag boy would not feel as uncomfortable as today.

Just because that person is Chu Rong, Chu Rong who has expressed his heart to himself many times openly and secretly, he can't hurt Zhou Xiaoran, and he can't make her continue to be stupid, so even bad words will hurt her heart, Zhu Yuhan Also willing to be the bad guy.

Zhu Yuhan patted Zhou Xiaoran's little hand to show comfort: "Listen to my advice, okay, you will definitely meet better things in the future, let go early, the deeper you sink, the more painful it will be."

"Why—" Zhou Xiaoran was still crying, "I think Chu Forensic Doctor is also interesting to me, he will give me Phalaenopsis, do you know what the flower language of Phalaenopsis is, it represents first love."

Zhu Yuhan remembered the bouquet of phalaenopsis that Chu Rong gave him on his birthday last year. When he was bored, he even counted 98 flowers.

He also suddenly realized that the Phalaenopsis orchid that Zhou Xiaoran had planted in the flower pot like a treasure, plus it, there were exactly 99 flowers.

Just looking at Zhou Xiaoran's appearance, I really don't know how to say this sentence. Sure enough, women who fall in love are the same whether they are in their teens, twenties or 30 years old, and their IQ turns into a negative number.

"But, but you have to know that Chu Rong doesn't like you at all. He already has someone he likes, but he has been unable to love him, so he turned his feelings into desires and transferred them to you, a silly girl. You, you Do you understand it?"

Hearing these words, Zhou Xiaoran immediately stopped crying. She looked over with eyes swollen like walnuts, and asked cautiously, "Who is the person he likes? Is she pretty?"

"Well, it's not as pretty as you."

"Then why does he still like her?" Zhou Xiaoran began to cry again.

"Probably... Maybe it's because Chu Rong doesn't particularly care about the appearance, but pays more attention to the inside? Or maybe he is a masochist, and he likes those who have a bad temper and can beat and scold him."

Zhou Xiaoran thought for a while: "But I don't want to kill him."

Saying that, the girl finally burst into laughter.

Zhu Yuhan really doesn't understand women, he cries and laughs for a while, and he doesn't know what they are thinking.

He unbuckled his seat belt, leaned to the right, gently embraced Zhou Xiaoran, stroked her hair, and said distressedly: "Really, forget about him, brother will introduce you to someone who is taller than him." Shuai is also richer than him, I think that An Yan is pretty good, but he is a little cold, but judging from his appearance, he will be a man who is very loyal and considerate to his lover."

Zhou Xiaoran smiled with tears in his eyes: "You can still read faces."

"Of course, and our sister Ran looks like she will marry a super good man in the future."

Zhou Xiaoran leaned in Zhu Yuhan's arms, stroked the paper bag in his hand, and said softly, "Then, give me some time, after all, it is very difficult to let go of the six-year relationship."

"Well, brother will always be with you, make you happy every day, and take you to eat delicious food, this time it won't be too expensive."

"Then, then introduce me to a man like Team Leader Fu, he is my ideal type."

"Wow, he's like that. It's not that I'm hitting you. If you marry him, you'll be a nanny for the rest of your life. He's even harder than a kindergarten kid. Our dogs despise him. Just think about how hateful he is."

"You seem to know Team Leader Fu very well?" Zhou Xiaoran said with a smile.

"Face, face, it's all told me by face." Zhu Yuhan wiped off his cold sweat, and almost slipped his mouth.

------------

Sure enough, as soon as he got home, Fu Huaiyu's little friend, who was disgusted by dogs, greeted him with a smile.

Zhu Yuhan hurriedly picked up Adu and touched and kissed him.

Fu Huaiyu lifted Adu aside, and leaned closer: "Stop trying to cover up your crime with Adu's smell, you're going to recruit him for the truth, and where are you going to fool around?"

"It's business." Zhu Yuhan gave a sloppy look.

Fu Huaiyu stared at him with scrutiny, and then pulled a strand of hair from his shoulder: "Well, a woman's hair is quite fragrant, what kind of business is so happy, why didn't the superior assign me such a beautiful job? "

"Yes, it belongs to Sister Ran. When she encounters some unhappy things, I lend her my shoulder to lean on." Zhu Yuhan said, and cold sweat broke out.

"You are really popular. Come on, our popular lover, go to bed and lie down. I want to check whether you have been unfaithful to me outside."
