I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but the deep timidity that almost wanted to escape from before has disappeared.

Shen Lu thought helplessly, now he has become more and more used to Qin Qiu staying by his side, although there are reasons for him deliberately letting go, but if the man continues to approach with a strong attitude, sooner or later, he will probably I'm so used to it that I don't even feel this man approaching me.

But to be honest, he doesn't have any repulsion towards this, after all, being familiar with and tolerant of the existence of the other half is the quality that a lover must have, Shen Lu thought.

Just as he was convincing himself with self-reflection, the man beside him rubbed his chin on his shoulder, then narrowed his eyes comfortably and said, "Sean, when I can serve my sentence outside prison, let's get married."

When the man said this, he didn't look at Shen Lu, but pretended to glance around casually, and he didn't know if he was really proposing to Shen Lu, or if he opened his mouth on purpose to let the people around him hear this sentence.

Shen Lu was too lazy to think about what this man was scheming, anyway, now that everything was settled, he was confident that what Qin Qiu was scheming would definitely not be something dangerous that would be harmful to society.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't help but seriously consider the man's seemingly casual proposal. After all, if his future is really to be tied to Qin Qiu forever, then marriage is indeed a choice that he will have to face sooner or later.

In Shen Lu's view, marriage is a legal way to strengthen the responsibility of love, but he originally planned to take responsibility for this man's life in the future, so whether to get married or not has become a formal issue of little significance .

While thinking, he tilted his head, but it happened to fall into the man's pair of calm blue eyes.

Well, Shen Lu couldn't help but think in compromise, this is the second time he's been asked this question, if a man really cares about getting married—

"Okay," he pursed his lips, and replied solemnly, "on the day you can get out of prison, let's get married."

Shen Lu's answer attracted the attention of several colleagues with different meanings.

Before he could turn his head and ask Newman what was going on with them, the man next to him suddenly pinched his chin, and then kissed him forcefully. The kiss was a bit strong, like an emotional catharsis, and somehow A bit of tenderness.

In the process of being torn his lips by the man, Shen Lu didn't close his eyes, but looked directly at the bright light in the other's eyes, so he frowned helplessly, and relaxed his teeth so that the man could further attack the city.

However, the happiness of mutual understanding is always extremely short-lived. Before fulfilling the promise to be responsible to Qin Qiu, there is still the important issue of the man's sentence between them.

The next day, Qin Qiu was escorted back to the prison to serve his sentence, and Shen Lu followed his colleagues from the Investigation Bureau back to the headquarters. After two days of vacation, he started a new job again.

The case their group took this time was still a serial murder case, and the victims were young pregnant women who had been pregnant for more than four months.

"The murderer's modus operandi is to rape first and then kill. He obviously has a special sexual obsession with pregnant women." Shen Lu held a stack of photos of the crime scene in his hand and looked through them carefully. He prepared condoms when he raped these women, and he cleaned up the victim very carefully afterwards, leaving no obvious DNA samples on the victim. There is a high probability that he selected the target in advance premeditated crime."

Kelly nodded: "There were obvious strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, and there were also injuries on the limbs caused by the struggle... One woman died of excessive struggle and suffocation when she was raped, and the rest were sexually abused. The murderer stabbed the stomach and bled to death."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but sighed heavily. The female group is easily selected by perverted murderers as the target of crimes. When facing criminals, they are usually so weak that they cannot protect themselves well, but it is difficult for society to provide for this group. What a real help, it's just too sad.

"If it is a premeditated crime, I think we need to consider the purpose of these crime locations," Arvin suggested in a low voice, "These locations have almost nothing in common except for the sparsely populated areas. Forests, old public toilets, small Alleys, suburban green belts... the distance between each location is very far, the murderer's choice of the crime location is not random, but more like deliberately misleading our way of thinking about the crime."

"But in this way, the identity information of the murderer is quite clear. He must be a local who has lived in the vicinity of M City for many years," Newman continued to analyze, "and he wants to successfully lure these pregnant women, which shows that he is very He may be more familiar with the deceased, if not a neighbor, from the point of view of premeditated committing the crime, at least it would be a profession that can easily deal with these pregnant women..."

It took two hours to complete the case analysis, and several detectives contacted the technical team to check the list of eligible suspects.During the waiting process, Detective Field took out another file bag and handed it to Shen Lu: "The application of Francis Randall to serve his sentence outside prison is a bit troublesome, you should take a look at this file yourself."

Shen Lu frowned and took the document, which recorded the country C court's judgment of Qin Qiu's danger. Qin Qiu's contribution to the investigation bureau made him be considered by the court for serving a sentence outside prison, but after systematic analysis, this Men, on the other hand, belong to the category of people who are never allowed to apply for a sentence outside prison.

He then read the attachment backwards. In the past two years, country C has relaxed restrictions on serving sentences outside prison. It not only allows prisoners to freely choose their residence, but also allows them to properly integrate into society...

Seeing this, Shen Lu could understand why the court was unwilling to allow Qin Qiu to serve his sentence outside prison.

The repentance of criminals is something that cannot be measured by statistics. Even if Shen Lu and the serious crime team behind Shen Lu are willing to trust Qin Qiu, it is still too dangerous for others to let a serial murderer operate in society. .

Shen Lu lowered his eyes and thought carefully, and then hesitantly said after a long time: "Then do you think it is feasible to modify the conditions a little?"

Agent Field pushed his reading glasses: "How do you want to change it?"

"You don't need the extra preferential treatment given to prisoners serving sentences outside the prison. You only need to apply to the court for one thing, which is to let him freely choose the place where he will serve his sentence." The location has been changed, he is still kept in isolation from society, and personnel are arranged to monitor him... As for the expenses beyond the normal period of serving the sentence, he will bear it himself."

"I can only say that there has never been such a precedent in our country," Detective Field couldn't help frowning, but the application of a lifer prisoner to serve his sentence outside of prison is itself a precedent. What new precedent has been developed on top of this? It's not completely impossible, "If you insist, I can report the conditions and have a try."

After receiving the reply, Shen Lu quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, boss."

Detective Field did not respond to Shen Lu's thanks: "You have already confirmed that you must be with him in the future?"

Shen Lu paused: "Yes."

"Developing a relationship with a serial murderer will have a bad influence on you," the old detective sighed, planning to give this unwary underling one last word of advice, "and Francis Randall is not a good guy, he has a certain personality. The place is too extreme, and it would be very dangerous to stay with him for a long time."

"That's right," Newman, who had been listening for a long time, couldn't help complaining, "And Sean, you still have a bright future. It's a waste of high-quality human resources to be with someone like him."

Shen Lu wanted to laugh for a moment when he heard the words, he didn't know whether to be happy that his colleagues in the group cared about him so much, or lament why Qin Qiu was so unlikable.

"Actually, I'm not as good as you think." He bowed his head and thought for a long time, and finally faced up to some of his abnormalities from the outside world for the first time. "I have always known that I am selfish and timid. The first reaction must be to avoid, in this way, even if someone likes me at first, they will always stay away from me after getting along for a long time, because normal people will not spend all their time on unresponsive feelings.”

"Only him is different. He won't stay away from me just because I don't respond, and he also knows how to gradually draw closer to me in a way I can accept." Speaking of this, Shen Lu hooked his lips helplessly, "Except for him , No one else will think that I am a necessity for their survival, which is one of the reasons why I can't give up on him, because he has been reaching out to me, and only wants me to save him."

"To be honest," Shen Lu pinched his chin shyly, "This feeling of being deeply yearned for is actually not a bad feeling."

Agent Field frowned deeper: "But this is not a healthy love at all."

"I know that only the love of people with sound personalities can be called true love," Shen Lu paused, "but I have been thinking, what should those people whose personalities have long been abnormal? Don't they have Do you have the qualifications for love?"

"Now he needs me, and I need him too. As long as we are together, what we lack can be made up for slowly by the other party," he sighed slightly. "Maybe it's not absolute, but we complement each other." The feelings generated within a short period of time are already the most rare thing for people like us."

Hearing Shen Lu's words, Agent Field was silent for a while, knowing that he could not persuade the young man to come back.

Arvin couldn't help but muttered in a low voice with a complex expression: "Ah, this kind of love seems to be different from what I imagined..."

"Of course," Shen Lu blinked at Arvin, and borrowed what the man said when he confessed his love, "After all, the love in everyone's heart is different. For me, love is a kind that can persist for a long time after the hormone influence disappears." responsibility."

"In the past, I would not consider the possibility of being with others. Now that he has become part of my responsibility in life, I will start to treat him as my life community. His interests are my interests, and his Pain is my pain, so I will love him like I love myself," Shen Lu suddenly chuckled, "If he has a chance to come out, I will give him a hug during the holidays, and I will hug him when I go home. Hold his hand and tell him 'I'm back', he will not abandon him when he needs me, and in my eyes, no one else is qualified to be by my side except him."

More importantly, with this responsibility, he will never take the initiative to put himself in danger again.

Shen Lu lightly rubbed the files of the serial murder case with his thumb, and slowly made an important decision in his mind. Then he raised his eyes and continued to express his opinion to those who cared about his relationship: "This is what I have in mind. love, and I will try my best to act according to my ideals."

If that's not love—

Shen Lu thought lightly in his heart, then the love of other people in this world is nothing more than this.
