The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

"Let me confirm again," Qiao Xiaozhi was sitting on the seat of the clinic, holding a mobile phone in his left hand and talking to someone, the door was closed, because it is the time for lunch break, "you are finally willing to tell the mess Team Nie?"

The person on the other end of the phone was Yu Lu. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's right, when Captain Nie comes to look for you, you should tell him everything. I guess it's time to come today. Then... tell him Don't come to me for the time being, I'll be alone for now."

Qiao Xiaozhi sighed and said he knew.

"By the way, Doctor Pig, what happened to the wound on your face I saw earlier?" Yu Lu seemed to want to ease the dull atmosphere.

"Huh? You said that red mark," Qiao Xiaozhi put down his chopsticks, "I applied a little ointment, and it's completely healed. The injury on your back... Be careful, it's better to lie flat for the next two days."

"Understood." Yu Lu replied in a very relaxed voice, then said a few goodbyes briefly, and hung up the phone.

Qiao Xiaozhi put down his cell phone, packed up his finished lunch box, and prepared to open for business in a few minutes—although the business has always been so-so, there are patients who have made an appointment to come today.

He just opened the door, and a person stood straight in front of him.

"Captain Nie, please tell me, how did you come out of the hospital in two days with burns and a broken arm?" Qiao Xiaozhi almost choked on the food he had just swallowed, Yu Lu's guess was really accurate.

"Some things are more urgent, so I rushed out." Nie Zheng stood at the door, his right hand was tied with a plaster cast hanging on his chest, "Where is Yu Lu?" He frowned, obviously Jiang Jiu had already said that Yu Lu was not here, It's a pleasure to go there yourself.

Qiao Xiaozhi welcomed him in with a look of despair, closed the door, and the two sat facing each other: "I really don't know about this." He put on his white coat, looked at the time, and it should be in time, "But he forced me to I have told you a lot, do you have time to listen now?"

Nie Zheng nodded. Of course he was more concerned about where Yu Lu went, but the relationship between the man and the murderer was also of concern, not to mention that this was a problem that Nie Zheng had struggled with since he first met Yu Lu.

Qiao Xiaozhi stretched his waist, and told everything he knew: including the matter of Yu Lu stalking the murderer and almost losing his life, the matter of becoming a criminal suspect after being rescued, and the fact that Xiao Kai had already known about Yu Lu's crimes before him. Something that saved him.

It took more than half an hour, Qiao Xiaozhi helped Nie Zheng figure out the order of everything, and thanked Nie Zheng for his receptivity, which didn't make his mouth dry.

"That guy is also very powerful." Qiao Xiaozhi opened the bottle of mineral water and took a sip to moisten his throat. "One time I dragged you to my clinic for treatment of stab wounds, and the other time I called an ambulance to take you to the hospital."

Nie Zheng sat on the side of the treatment bed, a little dazed by Yu Lu's "legendary experience".

Qiao Xiaozhi looked at the plaster cast on his hand: "You two are so awesome, you can jump around as soon as you hug your wound."

Nie Zheng instantly understood the point of this sentence, a little excited, stood up: "Is he injured?"

Qiao Xiaozhi realized that he had slipped his tongue, so he could only continue to answer: "It seems that he was injured when he was protecting you from a falling plank? The ribs should not be broken...but the long burn on the back is quite scary, and it can be compared with That guy's injury level is comparable to that of three years ago."

Two days ago, when he saw Yu Lu coming to him with scars, he almost thought that he had crossed over, but this time Yu Lu seemed to have a thorn in his clinic, and he slipped away the next day after he was bandaged .

"To be honest," Qiao Xiaozhi looked at Nie Zheng, then lowered his eyes to the ground, "he was injured several times worse than you."

Nie Zheng clutched his knee tightly with his left hand, trembling badly: "So... these are the things he kept from me?"

"Well," Qiao Xiaozhi got up and turned on the few remaining lights in the consulting room, "Don't say anything, why didn't I tell you earlier, I guarantee that you don't believe it completely now."

Just as Nie Zheng wanted to defend himself, he lowered his head again: he knew that Dr. Qiao and Yu Lu in front of him were both worthy of his full trust, but since he had heard too many lies over the years, it was difficult to distinguish them clearly.

It may be impossible to say that I believe it completely 100%.

——What's more, Jiang Jiu also sent Yu Lu's personal information that had not been modified.

The only thing Nie Zheng believes now is that Yu Lu, who has been with him for several months, is a person who "resurrected from the dead", because this is what he saw with his own eyes.

"Do you know where he might be going?" He stood up and prepared to leave. Naturally, he planned to tell his colleagues about the case immediately, but even if it was out of selfishness, he wanted to find Yu Lu as soon as possible.

Qiao Xiaozhi moved his neck and thought for a while, then looked at the time, and there were still ten minutes before the appointment with the patient: "I know his former residence, I will send it to you later, although he is there Probably not."

Just as Nie Zheng was about to say yes, Qiao Xiaozhi sighed again: "This kid is quite pitiful. His parents have them, but they didn't care about him." He stretched his waist, "Of course the kindergarten education is nonsense. Anyway, I still survived until I graduated from junior high school, but I didn’t continue to go on after that.”

Nie Zheng was in a bad mood, feeling that he was really ashamed of him. Looking at Qiao Xiaozhi, who was leisurely crossing his legs, he couldn't help asking, "Doctor, why do you know everything?"

Qiao Xiaozhi smiled wryly: "Yu Lu is talking nonsense when he's drunk." He stood up and was about to send Nie Zheng out, "I bought him a drink three years ago when he recovered from his injury, and his drinking capacity is hundreds of times that of mine... ..."

He spread his hands and recalled the 17-year-old Yu Lu: "Others think they can drink a lot when they are adults. He quit smoking and drinking when he was an adult. Talking nonsense."

Nie Zheng clenched his left hand into a fist, feeling choked and suffocated, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't cry, and finally supported the door frame: "Let's go... Please send me the address quickly."

Qiao Xiaozhi made an "ok" gesture.

……

Just as Nie Zheng staggered out two steps, he saw a figure from a distance, and thought it looked familiar, but he didn't pay attention.

He looked in another direction and found Jiang Jiu who was running towards him: "Fuck you bastard, I just went out and went to the bathroom and then slipped away?! Captain Nie, can you treat your injury as an injury?" Ah." He rushed to Nie Zheng.

Nie Zheng was stunned for a moment, and said "um", thinking that Yu Lu's injury was much worse than his own. "Go back to the police station, there is a new development in the case." He patted Jiang Jiu on the shoulder, he was not used to using his left hand.

Although Jiang Jiu could guess the reason, it still didn't prevent him from being speechless to Nie Zheng: "Captain Nie, are you still human? You just woke up from a coma and recovered immediately?!"

Captain Nie looked at him for a while, knowing that Jiang Jiu was also worried about himself, and took a step past him who was blocking him: "Let's deal with the matter first, if it doesn't work, I'll go back to the hospital at night to get some ointment or something."

Jiang Jiu: ... Team Nie asks you to think about me who was going through the admission procedures for you.

……

The two returned to the office and held an impromptu meeting with colleagues who were listlessly reading the latest report on the fire in the warehouse ruins.

After the meeting, everyone's attention was focused on one question: "Team Nie, forgive us, I don't know how many identities Yu Lu has."

Nie Zheng coughed lightly, and put away the ppt he had compiled a few days ago: "Lao Jiang, please help me find the details of the case three years ago."

Jiang Jiu took a sip of the coke that was placed next to him, and tapped his fingers twice casually: "Sorry, out of curiosity, I have already tidied it up."

The other three people except Nie Zheng: ...excellent!

Nie Zheng said "thank you" softly, and showed the information on the projector for everyone to enjoy together.

Wu Wen saw a photo of the dead body in the back, her face was not very good, she covered her mouth and asked, "So the person who died that day wasn't Yu Lu, who was it?"

Xiao Kai quietly raised his hand, and after everyone looked at him gradually, he said, "I'm a friend."

Jiang Jiu almost sprayed the Coke on Tai Mingming's face opposite him.

Xiao Kai explained the origin of how the deceased was killed: he died of excessive neck bleeding after being invited to the warehouse by the murderer, and then the body was burned beyond recognition by the murderer, and was misidentified because of his similar body shape to Yu Lun.

He just finished explaining, and everyone stared at him for a long time.

Then Xiaokai made public the contents of the conversation with Yu Lu in the coffee shop.

Next, Jiang Jiu also said the matter of asking too much.

The only two who don't know anything are Wu Wen and Tai Mingming: "What kind of good day is today for collective recognition???"

The two of them finally calmed down after scolding Xiaokai and Jiang Jiu for a while, and the five of them formally began to discuss the known situation.

"If... no, according to what Yu Lu said, the serial murder case three years ago was committed by the same person as the one that is happening a few months ago and now, and each time it will be planted on a different person. The first time is Yu Lu, the second time is Shen Yu, and the third time will be Lin Zhi." Nie Zheng poured a glass of ice water to calm himself down.

The other four nodded.

"Tell me, how is little friend Lin Zhi?" Tai Mingming looked at the silent crowd.

Jiang Jiu's eyes showed his gratitude for him breaking the silence: "Go to school as usual, it doesn't mean that people may be in danger, so let them stay at home every day, senior year, senior year."

Nie Zheng seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and looked at Jiang Jiu with a frown: "Did Lin Biao pass the black street on his way to school?"

Xiao Kai sent Lin Hao to school once, and he stroked his chin and recalled for a while: "It's true... passing by, it seems that the ruins of the warehouse can be seen."

Nie Zheng looked at the thick plaster cast on his arm, and said to himself that it was really inconvenient: "Lao Jiang, accompany me to Lin Zhi's house." He glanced at the clock above, it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was only [-]:[-] p.m. before Lin Zhi finished school. For a while, "Let's go tonight."

Jiang Jiu, who was opening a Coke bottle, squeezed out a speechless smile and nodded: "Okay."
