The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

Yu Lu understated the conversation he had with Xiao Kai.

Qiao Xiaozhi had known him for a few years at least, and he could still see the relaxed look on his face.He closed the door of the consulting room, and sat down solemnly: "Maybe it's just a coincidence?" He sighed, and stretched his right hand to the table to organize the medicine bottles.

Yu Lu sat sideways on the treatment bed: "Doctor Pig, what kind of confidence makes you think that a rookie police officer would say such nonsensical things to someone who just met for the second time today?"

Qiao Xiaozhi, who gave up the entanglement with the address problem, scratched his hair and did not speak.

Yu Lu held his chin, looked down and looked a little melancholy: "Doctor Pig, I'm worried that you'll make yourself bald." What should be cheap is still cheap.

Qiao Xiaozhi squeezed the space between his eyebrows. He had just received many patients before, and wanted to take a rest in the afternoon. Unexpectedly, something happened to this troubled guy again: "It's okay, I'll take off your clothes and change two bottles of tonic water."

"The clothes were bought by Team Nie."

Qiao Xiaozhi: "...I think you are tired of working. Why did I save such a shameless guy like you back then?"

There was still a row of potions behind Yu Lu, he stacked them over and over again in a daze, and looked back at Qiao Xiaozhi: "What do you think I should do?"

Qiao Xiaozhi glanced at the phone, but there was no news from anyone, so he put the phone screen down and put it back on the table: "Season with fish sauce."

Yu Lu happened to be holding a glass medicine bottle in his hand, and almost threw it directly at Qiao Xiaozhi's head: "Can you stop playing tricks when you are so serious?"

Qiao Xiaozhi was too lazy to complain, and wondered if he forgot Yu Lu's rambunctious remarks just now, so he calmed down a bit, or deal with the most important thing first: "He asked you to meet on the weekend?"

Yu Lu nodded while stacking the medicine boxes: "I guess that's what it means."

"Hiss..." Qiao Xiaozhi brushed the broken hair on his forehead, "Then you just wait for him to tell you the time and place, and please ask him not to tell your team Nie?"

Yu Lu lay on the table, with half of his head buried in his elbows: "He is with Team Nie now, what if he said anything?" His nose was a little sore, his mood was unstable, and he was irritable.

"What's wrong with you guys today." Qiao Xiaozhi looked at his back with disgust on his face, but he could understand Yu Lu's mood, but this is only the second time this cheerful guy maintains this attitude The first time I saw it was when Yu Lun saw the news about his report.

The two people heated up the air in the unventilated clinic. He took off his white coat and sighed: "If that's the case, you should accept your fate. The police should not be able to carry guns when they don't usually go on missions? If you run faster, you should be able to come out alive."

Yu Lu looked at him sideways: "I feel very happy to be with Team Nie."

Qiao Xiaozhi: ... If we can talk, can we stop pulling me out to abuse me as a mother who is single in a while, and why is this sentence so familiar.

"Let it be fate, otherwise you should tell that police officer not to tell Team Nie... The disadvantage is that you admit it."

Yu Luzhen turned on his phone and opened the chat with Xiao Kai, he suddenly found that Xiao Kai had replied not long ago: I won't tell Team Nie until I listen to your explanation, can you come to me on Saturday morning?

Xiaokai sent him an address, which seemed to be a coffee shop.

Yu Lu frowned slightly, and did not respond to Qiao Xiaozhi's words, his eyes seemed to punch a hole through the thin phone screen.

He replied to Xiao Kai: Got it.

After hesitating for a moment, he added: What the hell do you know?How do you know?

Xiaokai replied in seconds: I will tell you on Saturday... I feel something is wrong since I saw you, but let's say these words face to face.

Yu Lu typed a long series of interrogative sentences, and finally deleted them all, only replying with "um".

Seeing him throwing his cell phone on the table depressed, Qiao Xiaozhi scratched his head frantically and buried his face in his palms.Asked: "How?"

Yu Lu rubbed his cheeks, patted his cheeks a few more times to lift his spirits, "It doesn't matter to Captain Nie," he heaved a sigh of relief, "By the way, how did Officer Xiaokai know? The one named Jiang Jiu It seems that the information has not been given to others.”

Qiao Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows on the right side twice: "I don't know, but before... you told me how many days he was on sick leave? Maybe he was busy," he took a sip of water. Have you played with the medicine on my table, it seems that it is very expensive if you want to."

He stared at the medicine boxes that had been stacked "towering into the sky".

Yu Lu ignored him, stretched his body a little higher and continued to play, "Do you think it's not on purpose that you can find that kind of information that has been completely cleaned up? What the hell is this police officer?"

Qiao Xiaozhi swallowed and shook his head: "I don't think so, if you ask me what possibility I can think of, I think there are only people related to the case three years ago."

Yu Lu seemed to have been opened up a new way of thinking, and lightly applauded Qiao Xiaozhi for a few words of flattery, his complexion was still not very good, and the lights in the clinic were not all turned on, so he looked even more gloomy: "To be honest..."

"Huh?" Qiao Xiaozhi looked at his back.

Yu Lu couldn't put back the words that came to his lips, so he said it anyway: "I'm a little scared," he swallowed, "I'm afraid that if an outsider finds out, there will be a second one soon. Besides, I'm really There is no evidence to prove his innocence."

Now there are only two choices before Yu Lu, one is to carry this secret and live as a dead person for the rest of his life, the other is to find out the murderer and make him confess his guilt, and then tell everyone his story frankly.

Yu Lu wanted to choose the former, but in fact the current situation made it difficult for him to check this option.

"In the final analysis, you are afraid that Team Nie will know." Qiao Xiaozhi can also see Yulu's attachment to Nie Zheng through the experience of being a light bulb these days, "I will persuade you one more time. If you take the initiative to tell him now, the consequences may be serious. It's not too serious."

Yu Lu was paralyzed like a wilted child, blinking his eyes at the medicines on the table, wishing he could find one that would make him unconscious instantly and take it.

"I don't want to take this risk," his hands stopped completely, "Think about how long it took me to convince you, and think about when I told the truth to people I knew before, did anyone believe me? I really... don't want to let things become like this again."

Yu Lun's former residence was far away from here. If he wanted to go back, it was theoretically possible, but he was really afraid of those neighbors who shunned him and almost called the police.

Qiao Xiaozhi couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't call Yu Lu to Jitian at that time, it was simply because he used too much medicine to treat those burns, so Yu Lu could make up for it, and after more than a month of Yu Lu's stalking offensive. I finally believed that Yu Lu was not the serial murderer.

"I can understand you, but I can't support you. You can just treat me as a bystander who doesn't know the suffering of the insiders, but I still advise you to say it sooner and let it go." Qiao Xiaozhi couldn't persuade him anymore. After these words, He decided not to bring up the subject again.

Yu Lu nodded noncommittally, tried to adjust his emotions, and didn't want to talk about such a heavy topic anymore, and began to shift the topic to what he saw in the hospital today: "Hey Doctor Pig, today I went to the hospital where you worked and I feel very good .”

Qiao Xiaozhi said in his heart that this person's ability to become cheap in a second is really powerful: "Don't tell me about my black history... By the way, why are you going to the hospital? Team Nie finally doesn't want me to treat him?"

Yu Lu began to fiddle with those medicines again: "No, I met a robber on the road yesterday, and the little boy he hijacked was unconscious and hospitalized. The most amazing thing is that this boy is also related to the serial murder case. Team Nie and I will go Ask something."

"Yo, who is so unlucky?" Qiao Xiaozhi rubbed his chin, picked up the water glass and put it to his mouth.

"It's called Lin Zhi, the kid is quite honest." Yu Lu replied leisurely.

So Qiao Xiaozhi sprayed another sip of water, familiar movements, but this time it sprayed on Yu Lu's back.

Yu Lu: ...

"Doctor Pig, have you really evolved into a pig?"

"Get out," Qiao Xiaozhi wiped his mouth in embarrassment, "I know this man... I had an operation on him in that hospital, and he would come every two days, so I remember it clearly."

Yu Lu supported his head: "So why do you spray water, Doctor Pig? Do you treat yourself like a squirt gun?"

Qiao Xiaozhi pointed the ellipsis on his head and said: "This little thing is definitely kidding me when you say that he is honest. He used to play tricks on the medical staff, and he did a lot of things sneaking out of the ward in the middle of the night. Sigh, it's just a bright A person who knows that he is not in good health and is messy."

Yu Lu raised his eyebrows: "Wow," he looked at Qiao Xiaozhi, "by the way, he is 17 years old."

Qiao Xiaozhi glanced at the empty cup: "You should be glad I didn't drink any water."

"I think so too," Yu Lu nodded, "but I always have a premonition that the murderer won't come to trouble him, well, maybe it's an illusion."

Qiao Xiaozhi shrugged: "Be careful with everyone, you never know what the person who pretends to be honest in front of you is thinking behind his back, maybe he is chatting with the murderer."

Yu Lu looked contemptuous: "Because of his age, I will definitely observe Lin Zhi secretly, but I am more worried about whether he will be able to spend his last year of adulthood safely."

Qiao Xiaozhi nodded in agreement.

……

Yu Lu stayed at home until night, and Nie Zheng told him that he could go home after finishing the last thing, so he jumped off the treatment bed and prepared to leave.

Before he left, he took another look at Qiao Xiaozhi's neatly placed medicines: "Speaking of Dr. Pig, why didn't I see the blue and silver packaged medicine box before?"

Qiao Xiaozhi recalled what he said, "Oh, you said that relaxant that was intended to kill you?" He looked around, and it was indeed gone, "I remembered, a person came to my place two days ago For the operation, the last bit is used up by that person."

"Isn't it poison?" Yu Lu had some doubts.

"I'm a doctor, not a witch." Qiao Xiaozhi's voice sounded a little speechless. "It can be understood as an anesthetic. If used well, it can save people, but if used poorly, it can kill people. Anyway, when you use it, you need to supply oxygen at the same time." of."

Yu Lu became somewhat interested: "What if there is no oxygen supply?"

"Death by suffocation, it only takes one or two minutes from use to take effect."

The words "suffocated to death" seemed to have touched a certain point in Yu Lu. He was taken aback, thinking of something, and quickly continued to ask: "Then what if the murderer uses this to kill? Will it be detected?"

Qiao Xiaozhi looked at him as if he was mentally handicapped:

"If you're talking about an autopsy, it's really impossible to find out. But you still don't have too much hope, this thing is not available to ordinary people... Just in case you have any unreasonable thoughts, I will add In a word, mine was stalked from a friend, and no one else can get it."

This dispelled most of Yu Lu's confidence. He remembered Qiao Xiaozhi's previous experience and asked the last question: "Then you were dismissed unjustly because..."

Qiao Xiaozhi resignedly expressed his affirmation: "At that time, I decided that I used this thing for that 17-year-old patient but did not use an oxygen tube."

"Fucking exciting."

"To be honest, it's exciting."

……

When Nie Zheng came home, Yu Lu was sitting on the sofa waiting for him, and today he was busy until the early morning, so Yu Lu hurried to put the dinners in the microwave and reheat them one by one.

Yu Lu still didn't eat dinner today, but he really didn't have any appetite at all, so he lied that he had eaten, patted his belly and sat opposite Nie Zheng, looking at Nie Zheng as if he was admiring a work of art that was forbidden to touch.

He smiled bitterly to himself in his heart: Even if he really made up his mind to tell Team Nie, his mind would go blank when the time comes.

"Captain Nie, Dr. George told me something. I suddenly feel that the death of Shen Yu in the sea of ​​fire may be another operation. Do you want to listen?"

Nie Zheng took a mouthful of vegetables and put them in his bowl: "Say it."

Yu Lu pursed his lips and smiled, thinking to himself, he is really living a comfortable life, if only he could continue, there are some secrets he is willing to bring to the grave.
