The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

When Nie Zheng finally returned to the room and was able to close his eyes and rest, it was already midnight. Once the lights were turned off, there was no noise around.

At this moment, Yu Lu had already fallen asleep with his thoughts on his mind. Nie Zheng opened the door of the original storage room and took a look. Seeing that he had fallen asleep peacefully, he was relieved and went back to his room to sleep.

The two of them didn't have any idea about weekends, Yu Lu didn't have a serious job, and the nature of Nie Zheng's work made it difficult to take real vacations.

However, those colleagues still supported Nie Zheng to take a day off to relax. After all, this person has not rested for a moment since the serial murder case started.

The next day came quickly, and Nie Zheng deliberately didn't turn on the alarm clock, and only slept half an hour longer than on weekdays.He smiled wryly in his heart, it seemed that he was a workaholic and couldn't get back after doing it for a long time.

He scratched his hair and pushed the door to the living room, his mind was quite clear, and he went to take care of the washing before he woke up.

Two drops of water dripped from his cheeks. He sat quietly on the sofa and looked at the communication software of his mobile phone. There was nothing in it except the chatting of his colleagues.

The time on the phone pointed to ten o'clock, and Nie Zheng felt that it was almost time for Yu Lu to get up, so he walked lightly to the door of his room and knocked twice.

Yu Lu was probably in a deep sleep and didn't hear the sound. Nie Zheng slowly pressed the handle to the bottom, pushed open the door, and saw Yu Lu was covered with a thin quilt, lying on his side, curled up like a baby.

Nie Zheng stood beside Yu Lu, feeling that he had no way to wake him up.

"Yu Lu," he put his hands on Yu Lu's shoulders and shook them twice, "get up." There was no ups and downs in his voice, and the expression on his face did not change from facial paralysis at all.

Yu Lu trembled twice, struggled to open his eyes, dimly saw a person squatting beside him, rubbed his eyes quickly, and the moment he focused on Nie Zheng, he regained his energy: "Nie... Good morning, team Nie I'm sorry, did I oversleep?"

He picked up the mobile phone next to the pillow, it was past ten o'clock, it seemed that he was really tired, if Nie Zheng didn't wake him up, he should be able to continue to sleep.

Seeing him jumping up from the bed in a hurry, Nie Zheng knocked his head twice to make himself more awake, so he couldn't help but add: "Don't worry, sleep for a while when you're sleepy."

"Don't sleep, don't sleep anymore," Yu Lu jumped on the floor twice and stretched, "Are you going to go shopping today? Wait a minute, I'll get ready right away."

He rushed to the bathroom, looked towards the kitchen and paused: "Uh...has Team Nie had breakfast?"

"Not yet," Nie Zheng has practiced for many years to not feel hungry without eating for a day or two, "waiting for you to burn."

It took Yu Lu a long time to digest this sentence, and finally he gave Nie Zheng a lazy smile in the early morning: "Okay, team Nie, you wait." In fact, there are only poached eggs in the refrigerator, at most plus A few slices of unexpired bread.

Nie Zheng nodded and sat on the seat.

Everything after that was very ordinary, the breakfast made by Yu Lu was delicious, there was no longer a disaster of mixing jam and soy sauce on the plate, and the two of them ate very quickly.

Yu Lun had already washed the gray shirt on his body, so he put it on again, and threw the one Tai Mingming gave him into the washing machine.

Now he has returned to the same appearance as Nie Zheng when he first met, the boy's attire was a bit ruffian.

With the mentality of looking for a place with more things, Nie Zheng turned on the navigation on his mobile phone, and drove Yu Lu directly to a shopping mall in the car.

There are a lot of people in the shopping mall on weekends, and if you don’t look at each other for a while, you will get separated.

"Oh—there are so many people today." Yu Lu looked at the endless sea of ​​people, with a little expectation in his eyes.

He thought to himself that it had been a long time since he had seen such a spectacular scene. He just wanted to find out where there were clothes for sale, but he couldn't move his right hand when he wanted to reach into his trouser pocket to take out his mobile phone.

"There are too many people, so don't get separated." Nie Zheng held his hand very openly. He was almost used to the chilling touch, and he naturally led Yu Lu away while looking at the road ahead. .

Yu Lu was a little dazed for a moment, and didn't say anything other than "OK".

The two ran upstairs and squeezed into a clothing store. The clerk was very enthusiastic: "What do you need? Here are the new men's products in our store..."

Yu Lu glanced left and right, and said back to the clerk: "Help me get some clothes that I can wear."

Unknown poor clerk: Is this too low a request? ?

"We have new styles for summer..." The clerk was still struggling.

"Just get me something I can wear. It doesn't matter if it's new, um... it's cheaper if you can." Yu Lu interrupted her introduction with this enigmatic answer.

The clerk is embarrassingly thinking whether to introduce them all according to the price...

Nie Zheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked two clothes that Yu Lu could wear and looked good, and went to the front desk to check out. Of course, he paid for it, and Yu Lu couldn't afford to pay the few hundred dollars." Sky-high price".

"Thank you Team Nie," Yu Lu thanked Nie Zheng with a smile, looking happy, holding a few clothes in a bag in his hand, "It's good to have money..."

Yu Lu thought about it for a while, all these years he was really busy all day, and he basically picked up some worthless things for petty theft, and as for clothes, he was always looting at Qiao Xiaozhi's every day.

It's not that Yu Lu really doesn't have a place to live, nor can he find any money or clothes, it's just that he doesn't want to go back to "that place" - he would rather sleep in the open.

Nie Zheng was looking down at the cash register, and stuffed it into his pocket after confirming that it was correct. Hearing Yu Lu's words, he nodded lightly: "Why don't you consider finding a serious job?"

Yu Lu spread his hands and smiled wryly: "There is no place for me. Physical work depends on my body and brain work depends on my education. Team Nie, see how I meet the conditions for others to want me."

Nie Zheng paused: "Then I want you." In fact, what he said was that I need you to solve the case.

Yu Lu: ...

Yu Lu: Team Nie, do you know what you just said? ? ?

"Captain Nie, are you serious?" Yu Lu felt as if he couldn't move his body.

Some unknown doubts appeared on Nie Zheng's paralyzed face: "Well, what's wrong?"

"No, forget it, it's nothing." Yu Lu felt that he was on the verge of suffocation for a long time.

When Nie Zheng was not paying attention, Yu Lu took out his mobile phone and chatted with Qiao Xiaozhi.

Yu Lu: Doctor Pig, ask me, is Captain Nie usually a straight man?

Qiao Xiaozhi: What kind of nickname is md?

Yu Lu: Let me tell you the seriousness first, the online wait is very urgent.

Qiao Xiaozhi: Team Nie has a high EQ, and is quite caring.

Yu Lu: ...

He silently repeated the words "Then I want you" that Nie Zheng said with a blank face just now.

Afterwards, they also went to buy things like toiletries one after another. In the end, each of them carried a big bag and returned with a full load.

During shopping, I don't know if Nie Zheng's natural policeman's physique is a bit "mosquito".

The desperate little guy was directly subdued by Nie Zheng to the ground, screaming in pain, attracting everyone around to watch.

As the closest melon-eating crowd, Yu Lu's intuitive experience from the perspective can basically be described as: a second ago, he was standing.A second later, he fell down.

Seeing Nie Zheng's series of coquettish manipulations, Yu Lu couldn't help but applaud in his heart, and put his hands together quietly: "My child, it can only be your fault of bad luck. The stolen things happened to this Nie team."

After that, when he saw several police officers running over to take the little pickpocket from Nie Zheng and take him away, he couldn't help laughing again.

"Captain Nie is so cruel." He joked.

"Those who disturb public order should be punished." Nie Zheng patted the dust on his hands.

Yu Lu nodded: "No problem." He gave a thumbs up.

After that, the two returned home, and everything from towels to water glasses became two-person servings.

Yu Lu was very satisfied with the current situation, he even completely forgot about his previous thoughts.

The following week was uneventful, with no new deaths and no sudden major cases.

Because of the serial murder case, everyone in the serious crime team was tense this week, but the murderer did not commit another crime, and Tai Mingming, who was stalking the black street, returned without success.

Even Jiang Jiu jokingly asked whether the murderer went on strike after high production.

There are also sighing things, because Nie Zheng and Yu Lu still haven't found the missing kid named Shen Yu, and they have been to the small house on the hill several times since then, but nothing has changed there .

Looking at the mark in the corner, Yu Lu couldn't help but wonder if all this was really just a coincidence... Maybe it's more of a prayer than a guess.

It was another Monday, and the weather seemed to be not very good. Yu Lu had lived with Nie Zheng for more than ten days, and it became almost a daily thing for Yu Lu to make breakfast every morning.

Yu Lu was busy in the kitchen early in the morning, when he suddenly heard a sonorous and forceful "Fuck!" from the dining table next to him.

"What's wrong with Team Nie?" He put a homemade bacon and egg sandwich in front of Nie Zheng, and saw that he had just hung up the phone with an eager and indignant look on his face.

Nie Zheng guessed without mentioning Yu Lu: "He died again?" Yu Lu prayed that Nie Zheng shook his head and said no.

In fact, however, someone else died.

Moreover, the place where the crime was committed this time was near the high school. The deceased was a white-collar worker who looked the same. His chest had been cut open. It was impossible to find out whether it had any connection with those who died before.

When Yu Lu heard it, his mood was instantly depressed, his hands shook twice, and he couldn't even pretend to be good at serving breakfast: "Hurry up and eat, can I go to the scene together?"

Nie Zheng sighed: "Well, come with me."
