The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

The rain started to fall just now, and it soon turned into a downpour. Yu Lu reckoned that when they came out of that office building, it had only drizzled for ten minutes.

When the two worried people rushed to the foot of the mountain, the weather did not allow them to go forward without an umbrella. Wu Wen was just waiting for them and handed them a black umbrella.

Yu Lu: Sister, police officer, can you change the umbrella that doesn’t look like going to the grave...

However, he resignedly took the umbrella and opened it.

"The car can't drive up this mountain road. Fortunately, with the help of the rain, the firefighters were able to put out the fire so quickly, and the ambulance personnel hadn't had time to come." Wu Wen frowned slightly, recalling the... Unrecognizable corpses.

"Where is the exact location of the fire?" Nie Zheng glanced at the time, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was a thick layer of dark clouds in the sky.

"There is a wooden house in the mountain, it should be there, and the body was found there." Wu Wen followed Nie Zheng and Yu Lun, watching the tall and short figures walking side by side in the rain.

Yu Lu tried to take a deep breath, he could no longer persuade himself to believe that all this was a coincidence, he could pretend to be okay with Qiao Xiaozhi through the screen, but he really couldn't control his facial expressions.

Wu Wen could tell from the back row that Yu Lu was not as calm as he was when he saw the corpse before, and his whole body was shaking. It is summer now, and there is no such thing as shivering because of the rain.

She frowned, and felt that Yu Lu was no longer smiling from the back.

"Who is the deceased?" Yu Lu clenched the handle of the umbrella with his right hand, quite knowingly asking.

"No... not sure, but it's impossible to tell who the dead is with the naked eye." Wu Wen couldn't help covering her mouth with her hands, and her impression was still in the scene she saw when she went up the mountain in an emergency.

Yu Lu didn't continue talking, Nie Zheng glanced at him, and lightly touched his shoulder with his left hand: "You go back first." Yu Lu's appearance was really abnormal.

Yu Lu opened his mouth subconsciously, then closed it slightly, and his voice was a bit aggressive: "No, I just feel that burning to death will be scary. Team Nie, don't worry, don't worry."

He had goose bumps all over his body, and the sweat on his back was more cold sweat.

Nie Zheng knew that it would be futile to persuade him, so he gently pushed him forward, supporting his body that had suddenly become weak.

The three of them went through the woods to find the "wooden house" that was completely unrecognizable from its original appearance.

No... just a pile of black ruins.

Yu Lu prayed to himself in his heart: fight for your breath, fight for your breath, don't overreact when you see the corpse, md can't be planted here.

He gritted his teeth and pinched the back of his hand fiercely with his nails.

The body was covered, and the cloth seemed to be waterproof, and Yu Lu watched as the water dripped onto it and slid into the weeds.

He was also really cheap, because he wanted to use his own eyes to confirm whether the deceased was Shen Yu, so he asked Wu Wen next to him to borrow gloves, put them on, and lifted the cloth.

The whole area is filled with a combination of a thick smell of smoke and the damp smell of the grass. To be honest, there is no peculiar smell from the corpse.

The corpse was scorched black, the eyes could be described as glaring, and the clothes had been burned long ago.Yu Lu narrowed his eyes when he saw it, his whole body was terrified, he quickly covered the body again, got up, and took several deep breaths.

"Then what, Team Nie, you want to take a picture, right? I'll go to the top of the mountain to get some fresh air, and you can call me later." Yu Lu returned the gloves, turned around, went to Nie Zheng, said yes to him, and ran away opened.

Nie Zheng nodded and didn't say much.

"Captain Nie, what's wrong with this kid..." Wu Wen frowned slightly, and her vacated hand showed some signs of wanting to keep him.From her point of view, opening the chest cavity is almost equivalent to the current horror value of burning to death.

"Let's talk about it when he wants to tell me," Nie Zheng hooked his arm around the umbrella, took out his phone sideways from his pocket, entered the password and switched to camera mode, "He doesn't look like a bad guy."

He glanced at the small box in the lower left corner of the camera interface, where there was a photo of Yu Lu smiling slightly from the side.

Because Yu Lu was always very close when Nie Zheng took pictures, it was easy to accidentally take pictures of him, but Nie Zheng never deleted the photos.

Wu Wen sighed, feeling that Nie Zheng was too reassuring about this little boy of unknown origin, and couldn't help thinking whether to ask behind his back.

After a long time, the rain didn't seem to stop. The ambulance would definitely not be able to come. A few people with full protection came, carried the stretcher, and slowly transported the body down.

"Are there any other discoveries besides the nameless corpse?" Nie Zheng stared at the collapsed and severely carbonized wooden boards, feeling a sense of exhaustion in his heart, and was beaten back by the sense of responsibility.

Wu Wen shook her head: "Not yet, let's wait for someone to search the scene."

The two stopped talking, and Wu Wen left first. Although the autopsy report of the white-collar worker was not released so soon, she still planned to follow the charred corpse to get a general idea.

"Captain Nie, call that kid and go too."

Nie Zheng looked at the dark sky: "Well, I'll be right away." In fact, he still planned to let Yu Lu be alone for a while.

……

At this time, Yu Lu really ran to the top of the mountain, and his mood was very complicated. He suddenly felt that his optimism was a bit hateful, and regretted that he hadn't told Nie Zheng everything in advance.

After all, it was because of a fluke that an innocent child died. Maybe he just asked Nie Zheng to send more people to follow him here?But he dared not tell the reason.

He stood on the edge of the small cliff formed by the fault and looked down. The uneven ground was covered by water vapor and it was difficult to see clearly, as if there was an abyss below.

Looking at that corpse, he really thought of too much. Unlike the way of death with the chest cut open, he was burned to death as the most impressive way of killing.

I had narrowly escaped death, and I escaped from the scene of intentional arson. The smoky smell made people sick, and the frightening place with flickering lights... For Yu Lu, it was a warehouse on fire.

Yu Lu: Dr. George, do you consider learning psychological counseling?

He took out his phone and sent a message.

Qiao Xiaozhi: I think it's time to buy formalin from a certain treasure for you to make bubbles.

Yu Lu: I'm serious, I'm going crazy, do you think I should tell Team Nie all about it?

Qiao Xiaozhi: ...

Qiao Xiaozhi: At the very beginning, I told you to tell others everything or slip away. Who is to blame if you don’t listen?

Yu Lu: Then what should I do?

Qiao Xiaozhi: How about I help you choose a way to die?

Yu Lu: ...I don't mind stuffing you into that forest for a few days.

Qiao Xiaozhi: Let me solemnly tell you now, either tell Team Nie that you still have a chance, or you can just slip away now.

Yu Lu: Isn't there a way that I have been hiding from Team Nie and coexisting peacefully with Team Nie?

Qiao Xiaozhi: Let me tell you, no.By the way, why on earth are you so obsessed with a policeman?

Yu Lu thought for a while, and couldn't help laughing again: Team Nie was the first one willing to take me in.

Qiao Xiaozhi didn't respond for a long time, his hands were still on the phone keyboard, he didn't know what to say, the white coat made him look even more lazy.

Qiao Xiaozhi: What about me?Didn't I take you in too?

Yu Lu: Don't you think that's the result of my stalking?

Qiao Xiaozhi gave him a screen full of ellipses, and only then did he realize that Nie Zheng was such a nice guy compared to himself.Cut, he obviously looks like a nosy person.

Qiao Xiaozhi: Think about it for yourself... I can't stop you, a savage guy, take care, there is another patient coming from my side, let's stop talking.

Yu Lu had no choice but to turn off the phone, looked at the empty sky in front of him, wanted to shout out to vent, but couldn't make a loud sound.

Without Qiao Xiaozhi, the only distracting thing he could do, he began to recall the corpse again. He had seen people burned like this before. On the day of fleeing for his life three years ago, the unidentified Dead person……

His stomach was very uncomfortable, and he didn't eat much, but the nausea made the food almost come out.He covered his mouth and retched twice, naturally nothing came out.

"Tch... If I knew it, I wouldn't have died." He was not sure what the "death" he was referring to now.

Looking back, he found that his umbrella had been crooked a long time ago, half of his body was soaked in what seemed to be some gray rainwater, the T-shirt was stuck to the skin like this, and the looming small muscles were not enough for standing silently behind him. Nie Zheng, who had been making noise for a long time, was still affected emotionally.

"I just finished, let's go." Nie Zheng waved to Yu Lu, the umbrella was not crooked, but because he had been hiding in the bushes for a long time, his body was a little wet.

"Ah... oh well." Yu Lu was stunned for a moment, and hurried to Nie Zheng's side.

The two of them were silent all the way, and the atmosphere was actually not rigid. Nie Zheng didn't like to say anything proactively, and he was a bit like a "speech terminator" to Yu Lu.

The rain was a little lighter, and by the time the two returned to the foot of the mountain, the rain had completely stopped.

They met a lot of people who came to search the scene on the way, Yu Lu lamented the huge formation, Nie Zheng only told them to search thoroughly, not to miss anything.

"Hey Team Nie," Yu Lu returned to his original grinning look, "Who do you think was burned to death?" He swung the black umbrella with one hand, and couldn't help but focus on Nie Zheng's expression.

Nie Zheng thought about it, and the only factor that could be considered was body shape: "I can't tell, that figure is not outstanding." Maybe he didn't think too much about the probability that Shen Yu and the deceased were the same person.

Yu Lu nodded: "I also think that it's too easy to make a judgment."

Even if he already clearly felt that he had guessed right.

"Team Nie, what shall we do for dinner?"

"Let's go eat nearby," Nie Zheng looked around. There are actually quite a few good restaurants here—after all, it's near the school. "Relax and relax."

Yu Lu knew that the "relaxation" that Nie Zheng said was aimed at himself who had been nervous since he knew about the fire, so he could only thank him in his heart, and then said briskly: "Okay."
