The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

On the way back, Yu Lu turned to a convenience store and bought a glass of cold beer. After confirming that he would not be drunk at that level, he opened it and drank it with peace of mind.

In fact, he really wanted to open up with Qiao Xiaozhi to ask clearly. After all, he was his savior, so he felt sorry for hiding it like this.

In fact, if Dr. Qiao was really the murderer, Yu Lu would be even more confused. Since the murderer continued to use this method of killing and framing, it proved that he really wanted to use death to seal the mouths of the framed.

If Qiao Xiaozhi is the murderer, there is absolutely no reason to drag the dying Yu Lu to his clinic. Even if he really thinks that there is a dead body lying in front of his house that is an eyesore as he said before, he can deliberately save him. There is no reason to keep it for himself. a scourge.

Yu Lu took a deep breath, the black umbrella in his hand was translucent by the light overhead, he could see the falling raindrops, the sound of the rain was a bit annoying, he scratched his hair, turned on the phone, and watched the chat with Qiao Xiaozhi Record.

After mentally preparing for a long time, he still didn't send anything. Firstly, it might be unfavorable to continue the investigation, and secondly, it was difficult for him to say anything doubtful to this person.

Nie Zheng has been away in the opposite direction for a while, Yu Lu is walking in the dark street, there are not many people in the afternoon, not to mention it is still raining heavily, and the people who come and go don't look like any good people, now think about who can save lives. Doctors who do not charge money are really a breath of fresh air.

Whether it is an angel or a god of death, in short, everyone who knows Qiao Xiaozhi will hope that it is the former.

When Yu Lu was about to walk out from the black street, his cell phone rang in a rare way. It was not Nie Zheng, but Wu Wen.

"What's wrong with the police officer's sister?" He tried to keep his voice as relaxed as possible.

"Team Nie can't get through." Wu Wen's voice sounded tired, "I'm relieved when you answer the phone."

Yu Lu didn't understand the connection for a moment, and replied after a while: "Captain Nie just separated from me, it's raining outside, I guess I didn't hear the bell."

"Hiss..." Wu Wen is sitting in the office now, she really doesn't know if it's going to rain or not, looking at the computer in front of her, "Team Nie usually doesn't answer the phone, I waited for him for five or six minutes and he didn't answer." It's kind of weird to call back."

If Yu Lu heard her words before, he would probably have started to get nervous, but now he knows how powerful Nie Zheng is: "Squad Nie should be fine, right? Wait a minute, I'll give him a call."

"Hey, hey, don't, anyway, there is no difference between telling you and team Nie. This matter has something to do with you. Come to sister-in-law Yu and listen to me." Wu Wen quickly stopped Yu Lu who was about to hang up.

Yu Lu: ...

"Sister police officer, what did you call me just now?"

"Ah, I accidentally called out our nickname." Wu Wen sold out the other people in the office very naturally, "I don't care about the business."

Yu Lu laughed awkwardly in a complicated mood, but he still couldn't hate this title: "Okay, tell me, I'll try my best to remember it all."

"Well," Wu Wen focused on the computer screen in front of her, pulled her collar to dissipate the heat, "I checked the monitoring again, and Dr. Qiao didn't appear at any other crime scene."

Just as Yu Lu wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, she went on to say:

"Although that's what you said," she sighed twice, probably exhausted from talking to her colleagues, "but I'll look up the surveillance on the day you were attacked at the bar..."

"Did you find anything?" Yu Lu frowned, and found a corner to shelter from the rain and stood there, not going any further. The noise of the rain around him was much reduced.

"There is a high probability that he and Lin Biao just met a few hours before you were attacked," Wu Wen's voice was slightly lowered, "Dr. Qiao went there in a white coat so he could see clearly. It’s in the monitoring, so we can be sure.”

"They went to the unfinished building where Shen Yu died..." Wu Wen coughed lightly, and felt that what she said was a bit off, so she corrected it: "There is no surveillance in the unfinished building, anyway, the two of them are going in that direction , two roads, I guess they met there."

Yu Lu responded several times to prove that he was still listening, and Wu Wen continued:

"Before I went in, I wore my own clothes, which are pretty normal," she got to the point, paused for a moment, and then continued after confirming that the information she had was correct, "Two people came out one after another, wearing the same black clothes. Sweater, hat covering the face, can't tell who is who."

Yu Lu felt that this matter had become mysterious again, and recalled that the difference between the two people was not much in terms of body shape.

"Is there anything else in particular?" he asked.

"Both of them were uninjured when we went in, but they both limped on the same foot when we came out," Wu Wen pressed her eyes. Several days of high-intensity work made her dizzy and a little nauseous—how many people in the whole office A little uncomfortable, "Because the postures are too similar, I feel that it can be ruled out that both parties are really injured."

She confirmed that she was still on the phone with a glance: "I think it is most likely that one of them is covering the injury on the other's foot, but it is difficult to distinguish whether the injury is a few hours or a few months. .”

Yu Lu recalled when Qiao Xiaozhi said that his leg was broken, but it was hard to be sure, after all, even if his foot was not injured, he still couldn't walk with a plaster cast on it.

"At least when I was attacked, the murderer was running fast, as if I had an injury on my foot, but even if I was given a range, I couldn't choose between the two..." After all, he had never seen these two people running. appearance.

Yu Lu tried his best to go through the situation that day again, boasting that he was not running too slowly, so that he couldn't even catch up with a lame person: "That's all for now?"

The question was answered in the affirmative by Wu Wen.

"Then it is basically confirmed that it is something between these two people?" Yu Lu's face was a little uncomfortable, but he still pretended to be natural, and the phone was connected to the call to open the chat with Nie Zheng, "So the current problem is also It's very complicated, for example, who is really injured, whether the person imitating the injured is voluntary or forced, and it can even rise to..."

Yu Lu didn't dare to think about it.

"Huh?" But Wu Wen was obviously interested in listening. She remembered that this person's reasoning ability was no worse than Nie Zheng's, and maybe even better.

"If both of them are participants in the whole case," Yu Lu couldn't help swallowing, "then who is the passive party? Or maybe both parties are active?"

"You remind me of Shen Yu's phone card being used." Wu Wen frowned slightly, and Yu Lu continued to walk while holding an umbrella, and there was a rustling sound in her ears, "Now Think about it, the possibility of opening the window is still very small, and the high probability of doing this will only be someone who has a house key or is at home..."

"That is to say," Yu Lu typed a message to Nie Zheng while speaking, his mouth moved a little slower, "The only candidate for the candidate is Lin Zhi, or Shen Yu who was actually still alive at that time."

Wu Wen said "Hmm" in affirmation.

The two were silent for a long time.

Judging from the current situation, no matter what kind of connection it is, it is impossible to say that these three people—Shen Yu, Lin Hao, and Qiao Xiaozhi—had no active relationship with the case, and were selected as victims without warning. Or, not very unreasonable.

Maybe they are all innocent, or maybe only one or two of them are the real murderers and masterminds.Who knows, before the investigation of the case is clear, no one knows except them themselves.

The two exchanged a few more words with each other before hanging up the phone, and Yu Lu sent out the sorted known information, together with his own guesses, to Nie Zheng.

So, just over half a minute after I hung up the previous call, the phone rang again.

Nie Zheng called.

When Yu Lu answered the phone, he found that his breathing was a little short of breath: "What's wrong with you, Captain Nie?" He suddenly realized that he could comfort himself if Nie Zheng didn't answer the phone, but hearing that Nie Zheng's breathing rate was not right, I was really worried.

"There was a sneak attack," Nie Zheng's breathing gradually became calmer, "I chased after him for a while, but I didn't catch up."

On the way to the police station, he met a brave man rushing towards him with a dagger, and quickly grabbed the man's shoulder, and the dagger just fell on the ground without rain under the eaves.

Nie Zheng stared blankly at the black sweater he was wearing, and was about to lift the hood when the man ran away from him.

After hearing him repeat it, Yu Lu suddenly opened his eyes wide, and stopped halfway with an umbrella in his hand: "Captain Nie, are you okay? Are you injured?"

"I'm not injured," Nie Zheng has completely recovered from the fact that he didn't wear an umbrella when chasing that person and was drenched, "but I didn't catch him either." There was great resentment in his tone, In terms of force alone, he must be stronger than that person, but it's a pity that he was stunned for almost a moment.

"It's okay," Yu Luwu almost stretched out. From his standpoint, although the matter of the case is equally important, selfishness is more important than the sense of justice. "It's good that you are not injured, Team Nie." Even There was no trace of regret in his tone.

"I've read what you sent me." Nie Zheng squatted down and was looking for something, with the phone tucked between the right half of his face and his shoulder. He and Lin Zhi secretly stared at each other."

"To be honest..." Yu Lu lowered his eyes, "I actually hope that both of these people are fine."

Nie Zheng hesitated for a moment: "Well, I hope." One is an ordinary student who is about to grow up, and the other is a person who has saved his own life. Although he will not protect anyone selfishly, there is always hope in his heart. of.

"The dagger didn't get wet, so it should be able to detect fingerprints." He found the murder weapon left by the attacker on the ground, picked it up and put it in a plastic bag for safekeeping.

In fact, he didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Yu Lu heard it: it can be compared with Qiao Xiaozhi's fingerprints to see if they are the same person.

Since Nie Zheng couldn't enter the police station wearing clothes that were completely soaked by the rain, he troubled Tai Mingming, who ran the fastest, to rush over and take away the murder weapon dagger, and walked back by himself, and soon ran into the police station. Yu Lu who has been waiting in place.

"Let's go?" Yu Lu smiled wryly, before he could throw away the beer bottle he had finished drinking.

"Yeah." Nie Zheng nodded.

Yu Lu seemed to stand in front of Nie Zheng with the selfish intention of "Only I can see Team Nie's abs".Unexpectedly, the back of his head rested on Nie Zheng's chest, and he was deafened by his own intense heartbeat.

On the way, Nie Zheng received a call from Jiang Jiu: "Do you still remember the dead man whose face was completely unrecognizable? Finally found out who it was."
