The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

"Damn, why didn't you say it was a fart!" Yu Lu jumped off his seat and rushed to the crowd to find the waiter who delivered the cocktail.

Qiao Xiaozhi sat on the seat, watched Yu Lu disappear in front of his eyes in an instant, raised his head and drank the remaining beer, scratched his head and sighed, looked at the blood-colored cocktail beside him, thinking that Yu Lu must be intentional I know it all.

Yu Lu caught the waiter, took a few breaths, and asked nervously, "Who is the one who ordered me wine? Where are you sitting?" Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and he tightly held the note with his left hand.

The waiter was a little dazed, and after a while he said, "Just now... there was a gentleman in black sitting in that position."

Yu Lu looked in the direction of his finger, no one was sitting there for a long time, an empty seat seemed to be mocking him.

"That person..." Yu Lu clenched his hands into fists, "Does he have any characteristics?" He tried hard to calm down, and persuaded himself that he must not rush out now, and finding someone blindly is harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

But he also rushed out of the bar to look back and forth. Unfortunately, apart from the people who were scared to look at him because of the sound of his slamming the door, there was not even a single person in black.

He turned around and caught the poor waiter again: "What does that guy look like?"

The waiter shook his head: "He's wearing a hood, his face...can't be seen clearly." It seemed that he was quite frightened by Yu Lu.

Yu Lu was a little frustrated, and asked again: "What about your body? Do you still remember your body? Height? Is it fat or thin?"

The waiter's shoulders were held by him, and he was dizzy. After thinking about it for a long time, he said: "The long one is... of medium build, nothing special, about the same height as you."

Yu Lu nodded, finally let him go, and sat back on the seat next to Qiao Xiaozhi.

"The waiter has an iced Coke!" he yelled.

After receiving the drink, he looked at Qiao Xiaozhi who was holding a new bottle of beer, and stared at him for a long time with no expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Xiaozhi raised his eyes and asked him.

Yu Lu didn't speak, and the two of them remained silent for a long time, probably over an hour, just drinking one cup at a time.

"It's late, I'll leave first if I have nothing to do," Yu Lu patted Qiao Xiaozhi's shoulder and jumped off his seat, then turned around hesitantly, "You're a little strange today."

Qiao Xiaozhi just handed the wine glass in front of him, when he heard these words, he smiled: "Really."

"Yes." Yu Lu didn't turn his head back, he stretched out his arm and shook it left and right twice.

Qiao Xiaozhi stared at the blood-red cocktail and took a sip: "I'm sure it's so spicy."

……

As soon as Yu Lu and Qiao Xiaozhi parted, his complexion turned sour, and the note was thrown into his trousers pocket, covered with sweat from his hands.

He felt as if his chest was pinched by something, he couldn't breathe, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.

When he came out of the bar, someone around him patted him.

Yu Lu was startled, and quickly looked behind him: "Nie... Team Nie, why are you here?" He looked at Nie Zheng, who hadn't changed from usual.

"The work is over," Nie Zheng put down his hands, "come and see you."

It is normal for Nie Zheng to find him. There are few bars in this city, and almost all of them are concentrated in Heijie. There used to be many other places, but unfortunately they were eliminated to only two or three.

Nie Zheng just went to find the one that was relatively closest except Heijie—although he didn't know why Qiao Xiaozhi asked Yu Lun to go to such a place.

Yu Lu could also guess how he got here, nodded, feeling that he understood.

"Have you been drinking?" Nie Zheng saw that he was in a trance.

"No... I didn't drink," Yu Lu squeezed out a smile and waved his hands, "I quit a long time ago."

Nie Zheng didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward. Although he was a little concerned about Lu's words, he didn't dare to ask more, and the two stood at the door of the bar.

"Let's go." Nie Zheng looked at him.

"Alright." Yu Lu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

The two of them took a taxi, and the road was so quiet that a needle could be heard, Nie Zheng raised the topic after a long absence: "How... how are you talking with Dr. Qiao?"

"It's okay, that bastard is talking nonsense." Yu Lu replied cheerfully, but kept looking at the car window instead of the people around him.

One didn't want to talk, and the other couldn't talk, so they were quiet for a long time.

Nie Zheng couldn't take it anymore, and asked again: "What's the matter with you that you need to hide from me?"

Yu Lu's eyes suddenly widened, his hands on his knees trembled twice, and he stuffed them into his pockets, "It's all right," he shook his head, "It's really all right."

To other people, Nie Zheng is actually the kind who knows how to get to the bottom of things, and he can naturally follow up and ask until Yu Lu let go, but he can't bear it, feeling that the person in front of him who dare not look directly at him is really fragile .He was also worried that if he forced him to speak, the relationship between the two would come to an end.

He knew from the fact that Kai told him that he had talked with Yu Lu since he was a child. Yu Lu's matter is very likely to be related to the serial murder case.

But he still didn't say a word, and touched Yu Lu's head, his hair was limp, and the gray hair ends still looked gray under the street lamp outside the window.

"Well," he gently put down his hand, "I'll wait."

Yu Lu laughed wryly, he knew that Nie Zheng knew everything, and it was just kindness not to let him explain everything now, he said in a voice that only he could hear clearly: Sorry, Team Nie, you were not the first to tell .

He felt that he was really cowardly, thinking about the question Jiang Jiu sent before, he didn't have the guts to answer it.

Nie Zheng didn't speak any more, Yu Lu touched the top of Yu Wen's head, and the two arrived home.

Yu Lu threw the clothes and pants he wanted to change into the outside basket and slipped directly to take a shower. He wanted to take this time to reconsider whether to tell Nie Zheng about himself.

He felt that Nie Zheng should not completely disbelieve him, but there must be conflicts, not to mention the timing of the conflicts, if he forged the conversation between him and the murderer himself, and sneaked to sink at night. To be honest, it is not impossible for the Yu family to sneak back again—even the shoe prints may have been wiped by Yu Lu.

This can explain a lot of problems, such as why the murderer would focus on Lin Hao, and why the murderer would admit part of his criminal evidence to a person who Nie Zheng saw as irrelevant, Yu Lu.

Now Yu Lu suddenly felt that the ability to empathize was superfluous.

He yelled silently in his heart: md, I'm still talking a fart!

What's more, Xiaokai and Jiang Jiu didn't trust him 100%.

While washing and washing, he found a problem - "Fuck the note is still in the pants." He almost cried out.

Yu Lu dried himself as fast as he could, put on his clothes and ran out of the bathroom, almost forgetting that he was still lost before.

To Nie Zheng, who saw his series of operations, this was a person who was about to wilt, and suddenly jumped up and down.

"What's the matter?" asked Nie Zheng who was just about to go to the study and go to sleep after tidying up.

Yu Lu took out the note, which looked like it hadn't been turned over: "It's all right, I'm going to sleep."

He secretly unfolded the note and glanced at it, then looked at Nie Zheng: "That team Nie, I have something to do tomorrow, so go out." He planned to go to the ruins of the warehouse.

Nie Zheng nodded, without saying a word, he went directly into the study and closed the door.

He had already found the note, and saw the contents inside, now he turned on the computer, entered the address, and just memorized the approximate location and route, and opened the door to come out.

Yu Lu had already gone to sleep, he wanted to take a look at Yu Lu, but after thinking about it, forget it, don't bother.

……

The next day Yu Lu got up earlier than Nie Zheng, quickly washed up, helped Nie Zheng make breakfast, and went out by himself.

He doesn't really advocate taking care of everything by himself, but this matter is an exception. He wants to catch the murderer himself, and even wait until the murderer tells the truth before letting Nie Zheng know the truth.

Selfish, so selfish, you can put your life behind for your selfish desire.

He took a taxi, passed Qiao Xiaozhi's clinic on the way, and arrived at the place not far after walking.

As expected, this place has not been touched, after all, it is the place where the "murderer" "suicide" of the case three years ago.

It is really rare to have such a scorched black thing in the sun. Fortunately, this place is usually a place where "one would not come if you are alone", so this place has not become a well-known scenic spot.

There used to be a popular legend that there was a murderer's ghost here, so Yu Lu could only smile, thinking that the person who died here was not a murderer at all, but just an ordinary college student.

In the ruins of this open-air black warehouse, Yu Lu stepped carefully across the faded cordon, looked up into the sky, facing the sun, but was surrounded by broken black wooden boards, as if trying to swallow the sun.

There was no one here, as Yu Lu expected, and he didn't know whether the purpose of the note was to invite him or just to remind him.

He walked slowly across the shattered floor, wandering back and forth, but failed to find the mark left by the murderer.

There are still some vague marks on the position of the body of the person who died here back then, and it is not known whether it is Yu Lun's hallucination or real existence.

Yu Lu's cell phone rang, and it was another unknown call, he quickly picked it up: "Hello?"

"You came too early." The voice on the phone was synthesized by a computer, "I haven't started killing people yet."

Yu Lu suddenly became nervous: "Where are you? How do you know I'm here? Why did you..."

Before he finished speaking, the person on the opposite side interrupted: "Because I investigated in advance, and I know you have such a personality."

"Stop talking, it's almost time, don't think about checking the phone number, I use a one-time phone card. I will let you know in advance when you can see me."

With a beep, the phone was hung up.
