The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

Yu Lu looked at the conversation with Nie Zheng on the phone, flipped his fingers up vigorously, sighed, holding the umbrella in his left hand, and was almost blown away by a gust of wind.

Looking back, Qiao Xiaozhi’s clinic is still in sight. It’s really hard to get a taxi on a rainy day. An ambulance was called, but there is still no sign. Qiao Xiaozhi seems to be upset when he sees this one, and he struggles for a while. It’s better not to pester him anymore. .Anyway, there are almost enough questions about the case.

He called Nie Zheng, but the other party didn't answer. He thought he was still dealing with Lin Zhi's affairs, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and stood on the side of the road waiting for the bus.

After more than ten minutes, no car came. There were quite a few private cars in front of him. Occasionally, a taxi came. Either there was no response to him waving, or someone was already there.

Helpless, he sighed, and walked back to the unfinished building, kicking the half-centimeter-thick water on the ground from time to time, before he had gone far, his foot kicked something heavy.

Yu Lu paused for a moment, put the umbrella on his shoulder, and looked down—a white coat.

The more you look at it, the more familiar it looks, and I confirm again that it is at least the same style as Qiao Xiaozhi.

In fact, Yu Lu didn't dare to say anything at first, but when he saw the bright red stain on the soaked white coat and found a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, he was sure that it was Qiao Xiaozhi's. , and the only one.

In a strange way, it was verified that the white coat found in the trash can at the scene of the previous victimization was not Qiao Xiaozhi's.

Yu Lu picked up the clothes in distaste, holding only a little bit, as if he was looking at a new towel that fell into a stinky ditch.

He thought about it, and probably felt that it was not realistic to just go to the unfinished building, so he went to the clinic again just to pass the time.

Qiao Xiaozhi looked at the white coat that was wrung out but was still quite dirty: ...

"Where are you picking up trash?"

Yu Lu leaned against the door frame with his waist thrust, wiped the sweat from his brow, "Just think of me as an excuse to come back to you," he looked at the bag he took out from the pocket of his white coat, it was completely useless Cigarette, "What's the point of driving me out just now?" He threw the cigarette case to Qiao Xiaozhi.

Qiao Xiaozhi caught it speechlessly, opened his eyes, and threw it into the trash can: "I told you to go to your Nie team quickly," he slumped on the seat, and he had just healed his wound and stopped bleeding. "Anyway, as I said, it's not my fault that his life is in danger."

"No," Yu Lu waved his hand with a smile, "Captain Nie has already told me that he will be fine."

Seeing his confident appearance, Qiao Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows with some respect in his disgust, subconsciously went to take out his pocket, and put his hand back on the table when he regained consciousness.

"Buy you a pack of cigarettes?" Yu Lu looked somewhat uncomfortable looking at him.

I still remember that at the beginning, Qiao Xiaozhi, like Yu Lun, would have a cigarette in his mouth when he was free. Later, for some reason, they all quit at the same time.

"Don't," Qiao Xiaozhi let out a long breath, the abdominal injury really still hurts, "No smoking."

"Why quit smoking?" Yu Lu stood there leisurely, glanced at his phone, and called Nie Zheng, but the other party still didn't answer, and when he waited for the second call, he was reminded that the phone had been turned off.

Qiao Xiaozhi stared at him in a little surprise: "The lighter was taken away by Lin Biao, and besides, I don't want to be caught again. When Lin Biao kills someone and throws two cigarettes at the scene, it's nothing."

Yu Lu unexpectedly paid more attention to the previous sentence, but he didn't say "I'll just buy another lighter" like a fool, and uncovered this topic with interest, weighed the phone twice, suddenly raised his head, and looked at Qiao Xiaozhi again .

"Doctor Hey Pig, where do you think Lin Biao will go if he leaves the unfinished building?" He looked away.

Qiao Xiaozhi seemed to be able to comprehend some of the meaning, nodded in a cloud, closed his eyes, touched his chin with his hand, looked at the ceiling in a blink of an eye, and brewed three words: "I don't know."

Yu Lu: ...

"Doctor Pig, as long as you are a little serious, the two of us won't be serious anymore."

Qiao Xiaozhi sneered sneeringly, and waved his hands in disgust to drive him away: "Who do you think he wants to shut up first?"

This time it was Yu Lu's turn, he didn't slow down for a while, raised his head and compared his right hand to a gun, and pointed his index finger at Qiao Xiaozhi, not as if he was threatening, but imitating something: "Start with what is convenient."

Qiao Xiaozhi nodded and crossed his legs: "So? What are you going to do?"

This is a question without a standard answer. To be precise, there is, but it is up to Yu Lu to decide.This question is like asking whose life is more important...

Yu Lu took a step behind the door frame, half closed the door of the consulting room with his backhand, put his head in again, and looked at Qiao Xiaozhi with a mean smile: "Then I'll slip away first, and come to see you when I come back."

The door was still not closed when he was walking back, Qiao Xiaozhi looked at his back, and suddenly heard the phrase "Bring you a drink another day—" echoed in the corridor.

Qiao Xiaozhi couldn't help laughing, covering his mouth and laughing, like a mockery, but also like a helpless wry smile, maybe there was a little bit of joy mixed in it.

"It's okay, I have a conscience." He closed the door, sighed to himself, and fiddled with the surgical scissors in his hand.

……

After Yu Lu sprang out, he also took several deep breaths, and finally calmed down. His arms were covered with red marks from pinched fingernails, and the sound of his heartbeat was still echoing with vibrations. How could it be possible not to be nervous? Which time is true.

On the mobile phone, I have been driving a taxi to pick up orders since I arrived at Qiao Xiaozhi's place. Now that I have finally arrived, I can see a taxi with a faint green light shining above it parked at his feet from a distance. When he opened the door and sat down In an instant, the overhead light was turned off.

The surroundings became much quieter in an instant, and the sound of the rain could not be heard. Occasionally, a flash of lightning could only be seen but not clearly heard. It seemed that he was not in the mood. The driver who was on the traffic news broadcast a second ago turned off the broadcast. , the whole environment fell into dead silence.

Normally, Yu Lu felt that it would be nice to be quiet and quiet, but the problem is that now he is so nervous that he feels his internal organs are tied together, there is nothing to divert his attention, and it feels like it is difficult to breathe.

Not knowing why I was nervous.Worried about Nie Zheng?Worried that the "plan" can't continue as promised?

It is estimated that it is half and half, oh no, there is still a part that is worried about Qiao Xiaozhi's safety.

Yu Lu held his breath and concentrated, originally he wanted to stick to it until the taxi drove to the unfinished building.

The most congested section of the road has already passed, and logically speaking, it should be there soon, but the more Yu Lu closed his eyes, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The phone in his pocket started to vibrate desperately.

He quickly took it out, and it was Jiang Jiu who was calling, as if he could feel his urgency through the screen.

Yu Lu pressed the answer button, and a voice that could be heard clearly without turning on the speakerphone came from the receiver in an instant: "Are you alive? Where the hell did Team Nie go? Why didn't you answer the phone!!!"

"Isn't it, what's the matter?" Yu Lu looked in front of him, but there was nothing else in his sight because of the crowded cars.

"What's the matter? Are you and Team Nie not together? The unfinished building is on fire and Team Nie didn't make a sound. Don't scare me!!" Jiang Jiu, who was possessed by Tai Mingming, made his voice louder and louder. Yu Lu felt that his ears were going deaf.

It happened that the unfinished building could already be seen in the distance, so Yu Lu opened the car window and stretched out his neck in the rain to take a look.

Yu Lu: ...

It was difficult to distinguish the smoke from the dark clouds in the gray sky, but he was still very clear about the smell of fire, and without any hesitation, he casually pulled out a banknote and threw it to the driver, took the umbrella and stretched his legs, opened the car door and opened the umbrella run forward.

The fire was on the highest floor of the unfinished building, where Nie Zheng and Lin Hao were just now. Thick smoke was billowing, and scorching flames were blazing out.

Yu Lu just raised his head and couldn't bear to cover his mouth with his hands. This scene was too similar to the warehouse or the wooden house on the mountain. He couldn't help but imagine those horrifying corpses. .

I don't know it seems to be an illusion, the stable building seems to be crumbling in Lu Yan's eyes.

He froze for a few steps, and the phone with Jiang Jiu was still on the hook, and the other side was calling non-stop: "Everyone who should be called has been called, Hey Yu Lu, is Team Nie in there?! I'm on my way now You give me an accurate number!"

"No..." Yu Lushen hadn't returned yet, "I don't know...that, I won't go! Take a look for me when you're in trouble!"

He ran in the opposite direction, and with the rustling of the rain, he gradually slowed down and found a place where the rain could not get him to hide.

Two drops of water dripped from the ends of his gray hair, and his whole clothes, even the jacket, were soaked.

Panting heavily, he squatted in the corner, covering his ears with his hands, and even the entire side of his face, so that others could only see the back of his hands.

He wasn't flinching, and he wasn't afraid, or so some people thought.

There are two ways to run out from the unfinished building, one is where Yu Lun is now, and the other is next door, with thick concrete walls and greenery as partitions.

The noisy voice gradually moved away after approaching, and ran back, and soon there was no sound.

The fire was still burning, and Yu Lu mustered up his courage to look there, but he couldn't see anyone there. He remembered that, except for him and Nie Zheng, no one else knew about the different statements of Lin Zhi and Qiao Xiaozhi, and the matter was already complicated. In this way, they don't have time to make a few hours of phone calls to talk about it in detail.

Jiang Jiu eagerly called again, Yu Lu answered, only quickly said "Thank you" and hung up, leaving Jiang Jiu depressed alone.

Currently, Tai Mingming and Wu Wen are watching at Qiao Xiaozhi's and Lin Zhi's house respectively. There must be an explanation for the priority of the matter. Seeing that there is nothing wrong, these two are also rushing here.

So it seems that there is really no need for Yu Lu to go in.

He didn't wait for other anxious people to call in, he picked a number and dialed himself: "Well, I ran over there, I guessed right."
