"Neuropathy!"

Lu Yuanli couldn't help laughing, knowing that Jiao Yang was also worried about his safety, so he had to compromise and said, "Well, let's go home first, and don't get too close."

This time the distance is a little farther.It took more than an hour to drive to the University of California, LA.

This time, Lu Yuanli's residence was also on campus, but the location was slightly off, in front of a deciduous forest.

Jiao Yang carried his luggage and entered the beige four-story building.

The interior decoration is a variety of shades of gray, very modern, but a little cold, it is Lu Yuanli's aesthetics at first glance.

Jiao Yang put their things in the living room and looked around.

He remembered that after Lu Yuanli returned to China, he was sadly transferred to the University of California to teach, and he once lived alone in this house, so he was inevitably a little proud and a little sour.

Jiao Yang said solemnly: "Professor Lu, this house makes me doubt your family's financial situation, and it has also been affected by the epidemic. It is much smaller than the villa last time!"

Lu Yuanli rolled his eyes at him and said, "There are only two houses that can be bought in this campus. I just don't want to live off campus."

Jiao Yang said: "Okay, you go take a shower and rest for a while. I'll go shopping and fill up your refrigerator."

Lu Yuanli smiled and said, "How do you know that I don't want to eat out or order takeaway?"

Jiao Yang said: "Old couple, old wives, there is no longer any novelty. If you can't give you the long-term tacit understanding and comfort, what do you want me to do? Wouldn't I be laid off soon? Danger?!"

Lu Yuanli's eyes flashed calmly, "No, I love you, Mr. Police Dog."

Calling the police officer is a joke, calling a police dog is...

Jiao Yang smiled inwardly, stretched out his head and kissed him on the cheek, "Don't tell me what you want to eat, let me guess."

"Really clever."

Lu Yuanli smiled and said, "In this way, even if you only use plain water to cook the noodles, I will pretend that you guessed it right!"

"It's good to find a psychologist as a partner!"

Jiao Yang smiled and said, "OK, that's boiled noodles, right? Got it!"

The state-of-the-art, well-equipped large kitchen has not been used for a long time, or in other words, has never been used.Jiao Yang went down, bought a new set of seasonings, added meat, eggs, milk, noodles, bread, and some vegetables, and brought them up together.

Jiao Yang cut some chicken thighs and cooked them, tore them into shreds, cooked half of them with cucumber shreds, and cooked them in noodles, and poured half of them with seasoning sauce for cold dressing.

Lu Yuanli, who was flipping through the files, heard the commotion outside, so he smelled the fragrance and went to the kitchen to look.

Looking at Jiao Yang who was busy in the kitchen, Lu Yuanli put his arms around his waist from behind and said, "Wu Neng disarms with his bare hands, and is smart enough to search for thousands of miles. Why are you still willing to do these trivial things for me?"

"How fresh, let alone a criminal investigation expert, even a super warrior, you still have to recharge your batteries!"

Jiao Yang turned his head and smiled at him, "No matter how hard you can, you have to eat. I'll feed you first, and then I'll wait for you to feed me!"

Lu Yuanli's face became hot, and he buried his face on Jiao Yang's back, "After more than ten hours of flying, and two cases to deal with the jet lag, the elderly really can't handle it..."

"There should be a golden sentence here."

Jiao Yang turned his head and leaned closer to Lu Yuanli's ear, "What's the other sentence that left me alone?"

Maybe... just lie still?Lu Yuanli pressed the tip of his nose against his back, and because of the pressure on his nose, he said in a low voice, "I don't know!"

Lu Yuanli had just taken a shower, and as his body swayed, a wave of moisture hit him, and finally, in the atmosphere of fireworks in the world, he exuded a scent of hair that belonged only to him.

Jiao Yang felt the moisture on his back seem to be overflowing a little bit, with a sticky temperature and itching, like a paw scratching a little bit...

Maybe it was due to jet lag, but when the two of them were woken up by Lu Yuanli's phone ringing the next morning, it was already almost 10:00, and it was already bright outside.

Lu Yuanli rubbed his eyes and sat up, picked up the phone, "Hello?"

Kevin Smith's voice sounded complicated, "Professor Lu, the nun named Heidi died."

Lu Yuanli paused, "When did it happen and how did you die?"

Kevin said: "After the nun was rescued yesterday, the police advised her not to live in that church anymore. She went to live with a younger sister's house and left her detailed contact information.

Heidi's younger sister, Kate, is 37 years old and currently lives alone at home.When she went to work in the morning, she found that Heidi hadn't woken up yet, and she couldn't wake her up.

Kate couldn't help but pushed open the door, only to find Heidi dead on the bed wearing a neat and brand new nun's gown.There is a suicide note and a glass of water next to it, which is suspected to be suicide.Professor Lu, would you like to come and take a look at the scene? "

"Ok."

Lu Yuanli sat up and said, "I'll be there later."

Heidi's younger sister, Kate, lives in a poor neighborhood.When Lu Yuanli and Jiao Yang arrived, Blanco's colleagues had already come to investigate the scene.

Kate is an ordinary-looking career woman with old-fashioned looks.She told Kevin and others that when they were in high school, her and Heidi's parents died in an accident.Perhaps for this reason, Heidi later became a nun.Although there are not many contacts, the relationship between the two is not bad.

Jiao Yang carefully inspected the doors and windows, and there were no traces of man-made damage.

Heidi lay on the bed with a calm expression, holding a cross necklace in her hand, but her face showed an abnormal flush.

On the bedside table, there was a transparent glass with a letter under it.

Lu Yuanli picked it up and looked at it. It said that since she was transferred to this church more than a year ago, she was sexually assaulted by the priest and two deacons.However, she read the previous news and knew that even reporting them would be useless, and the church would continue to shield them.After begging many times to no avail, she was impulsive, and after drugging her unconscious, she killed the three of them.But she knew that it was wrong to do so, so she used her own life to wash away her sins, hoping that the Lord would forgive her.

Jiao Yang picked up the glass and smelled it, "It smells like bitter almonds, it should be hydride poisoning."

"On the surface, it seems that the cause of death is not suspicious, it is suicide by taking poison."

Kevin asked, "Professor Lu, what do you think?"

Lu Yuanli said: "It should be right to take poison. Whether it is suicide or not, we need to go through a detailed time and test Ms. Kate to see if there are any traces of being drugged."

Jiao Yang said: "I think it's suicide, but it's not the reason stated in the suicide note."

Jiao Yang walked over and asked Kate, "Ma'am, can you tell me about the whole process from when you were with your sister yesterday to when she found her body this morning? The more detailed the better."

Kate's eyes were red, obviously crying.While recalling, she said: "Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from my sister. She asked me if I could come and stay for a few days, and told me that something happened in their church. I saw the news, so I drove to pick her up.

The two of us had dinner together, and then I went to the supermarket with her to do some shopping.I think she's in a good mood, just a little down.When we came back, we seemed to run into the police downstairs.

When she came back in the evening, she took a shower.I really don't think there's anything special about it, except for the slightly longer shower time.Then we went to sleep separately.

Today I have to work overtime, and I want to ask her to have dinner together in the morning, but I can't wake her up.When I opened the door of her room, I saw her lying there quietly... Oh God, she is the only family member I have! "

As Kate spoke, she began to cry again.

Jiao Yang picked up Heidi's suicide note and shook it at Kevin, "Perhaps after seeing the following police, Sister Heidi realized that she was being monitored by the police."

Kevin said: "So, what Professor Lu said yesterday was correct. Sister Heidi should be the insider of the murderer. She wanted to protect the real murderer. She was afraid that she would not be able to cope with the police interrogation, so she chose to commit suicide. Because there are only dead people, Only then can we truly keep a secret."

Now the police have a few things to do to verify whether the suicide note left by Sister Heidi is her own handwriting.The autopsy found out the detailed cause of her death, and checked whether Kate had been drugged and stunned to confirm whether Heidi's death was poisoned.After watching the scene, Kevin hurried back to the CBI headquarters.

Lu Yuanli felt a little heavy. When he came out of this apartment, he turned his head and asked Jiao Yang, "Did I make a mistake yesterday? Maybe I should remind them and bring this nun to trial immediately."

"No."

Jiao Yang said: "Wherever you handle a case, you must follow judicial procedures. You can't suspect that the witnesses at the scene are the criminal's accomplices for no reason, and interrogate or search them. And, use your precious life to cover up the crimes committed by others , This is beyond the imagination and understanding of normal people, and it is not your problem."

Lu Yuanli held Jiao Yang's hand unconsciously and said, "Life is too fragile, maybe I should take you to meet someone."

Jiao Yang blinked at him deliberately, and said with a look of sincerity and fear: "We have been in California for 24 hours, and we haven't visited your father yet. No matter in the etiquette of any country, ancient or modern, China or foreign, this It's a very rude behavior. You don't want to take me to make up for this mistake, do you?!"

"You think beautiful!"

Lu Yuanli said: "The price of my father's dinner has risen again. Last year's auction price has risen to 57 US dollars. Now that the epidemic is affecting, all medical stocks are skyrocketing. This year will definitely hit a new high, you have This money, just want to see him?!"

"Of course I don't have any money, but I have hostages!"

Jiao Yang put his arms around Lu Yuanli's waist, and said with a smile, "We have someone at a key position!"

Lu Yuanli said: "Actually, it's because my dad went to Silicon Valley for a meeting. Wait for him to come back, and we'll make an appointment..."

"Are you serious?!"

When Jiao Yang heard this, his expression immediately became tense, "But... But I'm not ready yet!"

Because this is country M, they can really get married, why is he so nervous?Lu Yuanli glanced at him, "It's really not, it's someone you didn't expect."
