The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

Yu Lu suddenly remembered why the unrecognizable deceased who had just confirmed his identity was in his memory. The reason is very simple, because Lin Zhi's family and himself have a deep relationship with the deceased.

He contemplated for a while, followed into Lin Zhi's house, and did not tell Nie Zheng what he remembered for the time being.He wanted to confirm again, otherwise if it was really just a wrong memory, the consequences would be rather bad.

Nie Zheng could almost guess what he was thinking, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't ask.

Lin Zhi poured tea for the two as always, and said that he would invite them to have a meal by the way.Nie Zheng hurriedly said no, Yu Lu also agreed, maybe because the pressure of studying has become more serious recently, Lin Hao compromised and did not want to touch the pot or shovel.

Yu Lu and Nie Zheng paid attention to Lin Zhuo's hand offering them tea—it was trembling slightly, although they didn't know why.Maybe it's fear, maybe it's sadness, only Lin Zhi can know this.

Sitting opposite each other, Yu Lu looked at the tea that looked like an old man, and tried to take a sip, but it was the most painful, and he directly sent a look to Nie Zheng for help.

Nie Zheng knew it quickly, breathed a sigh of relief, took the cup in his hand, put it on the table, and took it slowly, the whole movement was very natural.

Lin Hao looked at the two people who had a tacit understanding, and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a long pause, he remembered that the person in front of him hadn't explained why he came here: "Why are you two coming to see me again?"

Yu Lu was a little absent-minded because of the things lingering in his mind, and he looked at Lin Biao with unnatural eyes. He felt a little physically sick, and couldn't help linking Lin Biao with the fire.

Nie Zheng touched his back lightly with one hand and patted him twice, looked at Lin Biao calmly, and replied: "There are still some things about the case that I want to ask you to confirm in detail, if it's not troublesome..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan smiled and said hurriedly: "Ah, no trouble, no trouble, I also want to quickly let the dead rest in peace... Shen Yu obviously didn't miss anything." He lowered his head, looked at It looks a little sad.

Looking at his expression, Nie Zheng couldn't tell the truth from the fake, but it was true, he said in his heart that a person who can completely change his future personality, how could it be so easy for others to see through.

Maybe a psychiatrist can do it, but he is just a three-legged cat in this regard. Although he can detect some changes in tone and expression, it is obvious that those few broken books are not enough to let him understand all other people's thoughts.

The conversation between the few people paused for a moment, as if they were mourning for the dead. Yu Lu actually wanted to tell Lin Biao that Shen Yu lived at least a few months longer, but after thinking about it, this situation might only happen to him. Saying it is a comfort will only make it more painful for others.

"By the way," he found the right moment and followed suit, "Has your father contacted you recently?"

Lin Hao looked at him in shock, and clenched his hand holding the water glass even tighter, as if he didn't know what to answer for a while, he stared at Nie Zheng blankly.

Nie Zheng, who didn't even know why Yu Lu asked this question, couldn't figure out the situation, so he tried to look away.He has no habit of helping outsiders bully his own people.

Seeing that Lin Hao didn't answer for a long time, Yu Lu didn't change the subject when he saw the other party in trouble as usual, but continued to ask: "Speaking of which, the last time I saw your father, I felt that you didn't have a good relationship with him... Then Did he give you anything for living expenses?"

Nie Zheng glanced at him again, knowing that there must be some mystery in his questioning, secretly turned on the phone and flipped forward the chat history with Jiang Jiu, and successfully turned to Lin Hao's information.

The air froze in an instant, Yu Lu and Lin Rong looked at each other, their expressions adjusted naturally, but it was really against harmony not to speak.Nie Zheng waited for the data to be loaded, and deliberately found an angle where Yu Lu could see the screen.

"He..." Lin Hao tried to answer hesitantly, looking at Nie Zheng's phone, trying to reach the screen, "Mr. Yu, the one you are talking about is actually not my father."

Just when Yu Lu caught a glimpse of the information loaded from Nie Zheng, he raised his head and looked at Lin Biao in surprise, not knowing what to say for a moment.

It's not because Lin Bo lied, but on the contrary, it's because he's right.A second before he answered, Yu Lu was confidently looking forward to how Lin Zhi would argue, and even wanted to take this opportunity to show the real face of Lin Zhi's father that Nie Zheng had found out, as well as the sentence "in Lin Zhi died in childhood."

Yu Lu thought he had caught Lin Biao's handle, but he didn't expect to be confused by the truth and didn't know what to do next.

"Then the day I came to see you...?" He felt that his memory should not be bad enough to forget how many times Lin Zhuo called "Dad" to the deceased.

"He..." Lin Biao closed his eyes for a moment, and rolled his eyes inside, not seeming to be cunning, "He is a person who has a good relationship with my dad, and I'm used to calling him dad..."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, in short, this sentence completely blocked Yu Lu's mouth.

Yu Lu: ...

"Then have you been in touch with him recently?"

"Uh," Lin Wei took out his phone and exited the page of the phone software, "Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

Yu Lu propped his head up, and suddenly remembered the voices Lin Biao shouted in the aisle at the door of his house, and asked, "By the way, who is that person who called you? This is the first time I've seen you so excited."

Lin Yan pursed his lips, still flipping through his phone, and found the last contact date, just about to say it, but Yu Lu cut in first.

"Doctor Qiao?" Yu Lu asked tentatively, and by the way glanced at Nie Zheng who had temporarily shut down because he didn't know about Lin Zhi's father.

Nie Zheng had already turned on the recording unknowingly, not expecting it to be any evidence, but just in case it happened to be used for someone to listen to.

Lin Zhi still pursed his lips, his body trembled a little, as if he couldn't hold back at last, there was a flash of light in his eyes, and there was a long silence.

Everyone felt that something was wrong. The two people on the opposite side frowned, and Nie Zheng asked, "Is it him?" He casually sent a message to Tai Mingming on his mobile phone asking about the fingerprints on Qiao Xiaozhi's umbrella and the attacker's dagger Did you send it or not?

Lin Zhi struggled for a long time, hoping that they could change the subject, but it seemed that there was no chance.Even now, Nie Zheng expressed doubts about whether he was acting, perhaps out of subjective assumptions, he didn't think Qiao Xiaozhi would be the kind of guy who would pester a student endlessly.

However, after a while, Lin Zhi couldn't bear it any longer, and nodded lightly: "En."

"Did he do something? You just yelled at him... Please spare me?" Yu Lu raised his eyebrows halfway, as if he needed to hold on because he was sleepy.

Only Nie Zheng noticed that Yu Lu was tense now, with his hands on his knees trembling wildly, and he took his hand in a natural and unobtrusive manner.

Yu Lu: ...

In addition to enduring the tension, he now has to try not to let his heart beat wildly like playing a rope skipping competition.

Lin Zhi still looked timid, with his hands open and palms facing forward on his chest, his head was raised at first, but when he was about to speak, he lowered it again: "It's nothing," he said haha, "it's really nothing." That choked sob made it even more difficult to judge whether it was true or false.

No matter from the perspective of a bystander or the perspective of Yu Lu who was asking about him as a stakeholder, Lin Zhi seemed aggrieved, but kept silent about what was going on, as if there was something hidden.

Yu Lu felt a little sympathetic to him. After all, he seemed to have said similar lines in those few lines. He simply substituted for the other party, so he couldn't continue to ask.In terms of his tone and demeanor alone, Yu Lu felt that he was asking for help.

"Yes..." He tried to find a suitable explanation, "Is it related to something bad?" He was so secretive that he almost couldn't figure it out.

Lin Zhi nodded ambiguously, making people uncertain. After a long while, he said in a voice that could barely be recorded by the mobile phone: "Yes."

Both Nie Zheng and Yu Lu felt that this topic could end here, and if it continued like this, it would be a serious alarm. They even had a premonition that Lin Biao had something to do with this bizarre serial murder case.

"Oh, that's right, little friend Lin Zhi." Yu Lu bent down, put the cup on the table in the middle, and stood upright, "Your mother...how is Lingtang?"

Lin Zhi seemed to agree that he had lied for some reason before: "My mother... passed away a long time ago." He took the cup to himself, saw that there was no water in it, and poured it down habitually display.

The two sides were silent, and this topic was revealed here.

After that, Nie Zheng took out the first time, that is, the deceased three years ago and asked him to identify him. The deceased in the hospital was deliberately excluded from the list. Among the remaining people, Lin Hao knew two or three people, but it was only an acquaintance, maybe there was something wrong. Enmity?But it's no longer possible to investigate.This number is really quite a lot, but it is far from enough to prove that he is the murderer.

The two left his house, and Nie Zheng went downstairs and turned off the recording.

"Captain Nie, do you think... he could be the murderer?" Yu Lu couldn't believe it, "When I bent down to put the cup, I glanced at the open door of his room."

Nie Zheng looked at him in surprise.

"Then I saw the corner of a dress. It was black. From the fabric...it felt like a sweater." Yu Lu swallowed.

Nie Zheng was driven to become nervous: "It's still not sure if he is the murderer. According to the monitoring that Dr. Qiao and Lin Biao went to the unfinished building together, it can be concluded that there are at least two such clothes."

"But it is undeniable," Nie Zheng looked at the phone, and Tai Mingming replied that the results of the appraisal should come out soon, "Lin Hao has nothing to do with the case."

"Captain Nie, I have a feeling I want to mention." Yu Lu looked at him cautiously. "According to my personal experience, if I have no contact with my parents since childhood, it is very likely that I will become a drama star."

……

On the second day, the rain showed no signs of improving. The clothes hanging on the inner balcony yesterday showed no signs of drying. I wondered if they hadn't been washed clean. The dripping water was a little cloudy.

Yu Lu went to spend time at Qiao Xiaozhi's place again. For some reason, this place always makes people feel at ease.

"You're here." Qiao Xiaozhi didn't even look at him, holding the takeaway lunch box, thought for a while, then put down the white coat and took off, "I thought you wouldn't come looking for me for ten days and a half months I."

Yu Lu didn't even look at him, but just stared at the phone screen. He really didn't come to him for any case this time, but Nie Zheng was still at the police station, and he came out for a stroll because he thought the house was boring.

"Can't I come to you? By the way, I won't return the umbrella. It's pretty pretty."

Qiao Xiaozhi: ...

"It's okay. I knew you couldn't pay it back when I gave it to you. Forget it. I don't think I'll need it anyway."

Yu Lu raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

Qiao Xiaozhi looked at him for a while like he was looking at a fool: "I don't need to go out these two days. According to the unreliable weather forecast, it will be sunny in a few days."
