The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

Yu Lu went out from the black street and wandered to a vegetable market he was fairly familiar with. He thought to himself that he hadn't cooked for two or three years, and it might feel good to pick up the spatula and cook seriously.

"Doctor George, I'm going to cook for Team Nie tonight. What do you think Team Nie likes to eat?" He called Qiao Xiaozhi, and weighed the few coins he had with him in the other hand, wondering whether to buy them or not. Can afford meat.

Qiao Xiaozhi was silent for a long time, took two bites of takeaways he packed to the clinic, and suppressed his desire to smash his phone: "Don't ask me about this kind of thing, it's more reliable, and please don't call me George, I will Think I'm a pig."

Yu Lu looked around in the empty vegetable market again: "If I want to find out, I'll ask you again. Recently, when I searched for related words, a bunch of weird things popped up."

Qiao Xiaozhi: md, please don't block my last sentence so naturally, okay?

Yu Lu stood still and looked at a pile of vegetables, and there was a unique fragrance emanating from them: "Is there anything to nourish the brain? What is good for staying up late?"

Qiao Xiaozhi deeply believes that he has entered the house-husband mode in advance.

"I'm not a Chinese medicine doctor. If you want to treat your brain, you are always welcome."

"I'll just ask, Doctor Pig."

Qiao Xiaozhi: ...

He could already imagine Chu Lu's mean smile, and wished he could rush out with a scalpel and hang him to death.

Later, Yu Lu naturally didn't ask Qiao Xiaozhi anything. He wanted to buy two dishes that he was good at and could afford to cook. Just as he was about to hang up, Qiao Xiaozhi suddenly asked:

"Seeing that you haven't told Captain Nie about your posture... Do you want me to tell him? You saved his life anyway, he will understand."

The smile on the corner of Yu Lu's mouth dissipated. He hated Qiao Xiaozhi's words that made the atmosphere suddenly heavy, but he also knew that he would have to face this sooner or later.

"Let's talk about it, I haven't done anything bad," he admitted, because he was selfish, "Also, you are always in his mind to save him, and I have nothing to do with it." He quickly hung up the phone, I don't want to hear Qiao Xiaozhi say anything.

Qiao Xiaozhi was in the clinic, just about to continue talking, but no one listened to him when he opened his mouth, so he could only swear a few curse words inwardly, and by the way, express himself how a good person was seduced by Nie Zheng.

It was only seven or eight o'clock when Yu Lu returned to Nie Zheng's house, with a bag of vegetables in his hand. Seeing that there were only eggs and jam in Nie Zheng's refrigerator, I really don't know how he usually solves the food problem. .

He put down the dishes and sat down on the sofa waiting for someone. He took a long breath and relaxed. He looked at his phone, but no one sent him a message. He silently turned the notification tone to the loudest.

He closed his eyes and waited quietly, waiting for Nie Zheng to send him a sentence of "ready to come back", and then started cooking.

……

"Lao Jiang, have you found out the relationship chain of the deceased?" Nie Zheng glanced at the time, thinking it would be better to speed up.

Jiang Jiu and Tai Mingming were both in the office, and just as Nie Zheng finished speaking, he heard two voices of someone throwing his phone on the table as if he was frightened.

——The chat in that group was displayed on the screen, and the two of them were still chatting about Yu Lu with Wu Wen.

Jiang Jiu's little heart was almost frightened, and he quickly touched the computer keyboard and tapped, processed all the half-arranged materials and emailed them to Nie Zheng, so fast that Tai Mingming couldn't read the words on the screen clearly.

Nie Zheng hesitated for a moment, looked at the documents he had received, and still felt that the two people in front of him were a little strange: "...what's wrong?"

Tai Mingming chose to shut up, and Jiang Jiu coughed twice: "Captain Nie, I suggest you explore this kind of thing by yourself." It's not necessary to tell Nie Zheng all the gossip in the group.

He sneaked a glance at the group leader, trying to pull Nie Zheng out temporarily, but the result: it's over, Team Nie is the group leader.

As if with the attitude that he couldn't withdraw anyway and would have to be discovered sooner or later, he pulled Tai Mingming and Wu Wen to continue chatting.

Nie Zheng was a little dazed, he didn't think much about Yu Lu who was waiting for him.

The last time he had the idea of ​​going back quickly because someone was waiting, it was probably in middle school, and he relived this feeling after a long absence, and his work efficiency improved significantly.

"Hey Team Nie, I'm so particular, do you think this murderer is a permanent resident of the Black Street? Should I check again? I'm so particular, do you have a permanent resident record of the Heijie? I'll check it later Ah, hey, hey, don't ignore me, hey, look at me..."

Nie Zheng ignored the annoying Tai chatter, but he was also seriously considering whether it was really related to the black street, but thinking about it another way, the murderer also committed many crimes in various other places.

Whether it is the city center or a deserted suburb, as long as there is an alley that is not easily noticed by people, the murderer will kill the poor dead in it.

"The floating population in the black street is too large, don't count on it, I can't even find out who is related to the deceased now, Tai Mingming, you go to run an errand and ask the people over there what impression they have of the deceased and who It’s fine if there’s a holiday.” Jiang Jiu took off his glasses, wiped them and put them on again.

Nie Zheng raised his head: "Tai Mingming, listen to Lao Jiang, you should go there now."

Jiang Jiu didn't hold back with a snort, and secretly told Nie Zheng countless times that he did a good job.

Tai Mingming: ...and cooperating with the two of you to trick me? ?

If this was said, Jiang Jiu would definitely be the first to nod in affirmation.

Tai Mingming was driven away. He slipped out of the office with eyes full of resentment. It is true that there are many people active at night in the black street. Tai Mingming can indeed get the most information when he goes at this time. Nie Zheng is kind enough to share the information The owner told him the address of the restaurant.

Tai Mingming walked to the door and ran back: "Captain Nie, pick me up with your navigator, don't you know the way..."

Nie Zheng moved away from the screen and stared at him for a while: "The navigator is cooking at my house. I don't have time. You can ask passers-by."

Tai Mingming left with ellipses all over his face.

Jiang Jiu looked at Nie Zheng for a long time, thinking that he didn't seem to have dinner yet and planned to share his instant noodles.Now I can only silently take out my phone and open the group chat: Team Nie has changed.

Tai Mingming: Yes, he has changed.

Wu Wen: What did you experience when I was not around? ?

Jiang Jiu: We have experienced too much.

Tai Mingming: Add one more.

……

When Jiang Jiu got off work, Nie Zheng went back with him, which was unprecedented. At this time, the hour hand had just reached ten o'clock, and Jiang Jiu's eyes on him changed.

Jiang Jiu: Team Nie, I didn't expect you to be such a person.

Nie Zheng sent Yu Lu a message of "on the way" and walked back home through the black street.

"Welcome home." As soon as he entered the door, he heard Yu Lu's voice. He stood at the door with a smile, and seemed to have been waiting for a while.

Nie Zheng looked down and saw that Yu Lu was still wearing the original black T-shirt, and the room already smelled of food.

I have to say that Yu Lu's cooking skills are really top-notch. He just watched Nie Zheng sitting on the dining table wolfing down, smiling with his head on his hands, and saw that the dishes he cooked gradually became less and less.

Nie Zheng swallowed a mouthful of rice, saw that there were two plates of vegetarian dishes in front of him, and knew that Yu Lu was out of funds: "It's delicious." He was serious.

Yu Lu nodded, took two bites by himself, and said, "As long as Team Nie thinks it's delicious."

Under the bright lights in the living room, it was a happy scene for two people to eat face to face.

Nie Zheng felt that it was a novelty for the little gangster to know how to cook, so he couldn't help but ask the reason, Yu Lu only said that he had learned it in the past when he had nothing to do, and didn't say anything more in detail.

Yu Lu ate little, and quickly finished a bowl of rice, and he was almost full. He recalled the phrase "If you don't say anything else, it may be too late", he opened his mouth lightly: "Team Nie." He tried to organize his words .

Nie Zheng took another sip of food and raised his head: "Huh?" He only stared at Yu Lu who was lying on the table as if he was resting, and there was some inexplicable emotion in the corner of his eyes.

Yu Lu tightly clenched his fists under the dining table, his eyes were slightly closed, Nie Zheng could tell that he had something to hide, but he still waited without saying a word.

"No...uh," Yu Lu choked up his throat while others were not paying attention, and swallowed, "It's nothing, it's just a little dazed."

It was the first time Yu Lu realized that he was such a person who couldn't hide things in his heart, so he couldn't help cursing a few words inwardly that it was really useless, and his palms were about to be pricked to bleed by his long fingernails before he gradually relaxed.

Nie Zheng didn't speak, but buried himself in finishing the rest of the meal, propped up the table and got up: "I'm going to wash the dishes, you don't look very good, go and rest first." He felt that if he kept asking, he would know something in his mouth, But he didn't want Yu Lu to be reluctant.

Yu Lu was praying that he would be tougher, otherwise he wouldn't have retreated like this.

He nodded and went to sleep. In a sense, he was really a little tired, but it wasn't because of cooking, but because of the things hidden in his heart that made him a little out of breath.

He rolled twice on the mat, got up and looked outside, there was still a moon today.There were sounds of pots and pans outside the door, and he slowly closed his eyes, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Counting the third night that he met Nie Zheng, Yu Lu felt that he was such an idiot. He didn't even know the details of Nie Zheng, so he began to think about so many things, and subconsciously condemned himself.

He took out his mobile phone and typed the words "I don't want to say" in the chat box with Qiao Xiaozhi, then quickly deleted them, closed his eyes, tried to let himself go, and gradually fell asleep.

"Let's be busy for a while today... Take Yu Lun to do some shopping tomorrow."

Outside, Nie Zheng put the plate back to the old place, shook the cold water off his hands, and said something to himself.

He turned around and went to the study room, staring at the documents of tens of thousands of people and began to read slowly. So far he has not seen even one tenth of them. He calculated that it would take at least a month to read them.
