The slaughter of the bones [criminal investigation]

Chapter 57

Yu Lu was planning to leave Lin Zhi's house after having a meal, but he never thought that his father would be here today, but he felt that it was inconvenient for him to even have a meal.

But at least he was sure that Lin Zhi was still alive, so he felt relieved.But after thinking about it, it also proved that the murderer would continue to kill.

Father Lin pulled Lin Biao to the side, and the two chatted in a low voice for a while, but Yu Lu couldn't hear clearly, only knew that the two of them came back soon, and Lin Biao walked in front.

Yu Lu raised his head and looked at Lin Biao for a while, then asked cautiously, "Have you told your father?" The voice was so soft that Lin Biao could probably hear it.

Lin Xuan scratched his head, looking quite embarrassed, it took a while to realize that Yu Lu was talking about being targeted by the murderer, and replied softly "Not yet", looking a bit distressed, it was obvious that he couldn't say it.

Later, Lin Zhi invited Yu Lu to stay for dinner, but Yu Lu was embarrassed to decline and agreed, without seeing Lin's father express his opinion during the whole process.Yu Lu couldn't help but look at the man in the suit a few more times, wondering why this man was still wearing outer clothes after returning home for so long.Maybe it's because I'm an outsider?

Because of Lin's father, the three of them were quite quiet during the meal. I don't know if it was an illusion. Yu Lu felt that the father and son were not very close, even stranger than strangers, and seemed to have conflicting psychology with each other.

Yu Lu still remembered the time when Lin Biao went to the bank because he wanted to collect the living expenses from his father's phone call. He guessed in his heart that the relationship between the two people might only be so small.

Because of the awkward atmosphere, Yu Lu quickly finished his meal and prepared to leave, but before he got up, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

Lin Zhi glanced at him when he heard the voice, and quickly looked away.

Yu Lu took out his mobile phone and saw that the message was sent by Nie Zheng: We suspect that Lin Hao has something to do with the case three years ago, and we plan to go to his house tomorrow to ask.

After that, he told in detail about his visit to the remedial class he had been to, and Lin Zhi's personality change that did not seem to be a coincidence at all.

Nie Zheng has been reporting unilaterally like this for a long time, but he has not seen Yu Lu's reply for a long time. Yu Lu would check the news every time, but when he opened the phone keyboard, he didn't know what to reply.

In short, he was so scared that he didn't dare to turn back, for fear that Nie Zheng would follow the signal and come to find him.

Seeing this news, Yu Lu widened his eyes and glanced at Lin Zhi: It's better to come early than to come by coincidence.However, the problem is that his father is here, and it is not convenient to ask now.

Afterwards, no one spoke until Lin Hao cleaned up the tableware after dinner, and Yu Lun was wondering what time to help Nie Zheng to ask Lin Hao.

After all the dishes were cleared away, Lin Biao came out of the kitchen, his gaze fixed on Lu: "Mr. Yu, let me show you the way." He may have noticed that Yu Lu had something to say to himself.

Yu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately agreed, and in a blink of an eye, the two of them had already left the room.

"Mr. Yu, do you have something to ask me?" Lin Shu closed the door and asked proactively.

Yu Lu scratched his hair, swallowed with his mouth pursed, "Yeah," he nodded, looked up at Lin Biao, and then immediately moved away. He always felt that asking that kind of question seemed to be suspicious of him, "Three years ago The serial murder case, do you know?"

Lin Zhi was stunned for a moment: "I'm not sure." He looked a bit embarrassed, as if he had never heard of it.

The two got on the elevator one after the other, Yu Lu pressed the button on the first floor, and looked at Lin Biao hesitantly. He believed Nie Zheng's suspicion, but he couldn't guess what kind of connection the so-called connection was. : "I heard you were naughty before?" He has always been very concerned about this.

"Ah..." Lin Xuan glanced at the floor, and immediately reached the first floor, "It's just because I was ignorant before, and my personality has caused a lot of trouble, now... I don't like to communicate with people "He lowered his head, and the elevator happened to be downstairs, so he hurried out.

Yu Lu followed behind him, glanced at his phone, and asked again: "The trouble you caused, do you mean a person who often goes to the entrance of the cram school to look for you?" He remembered the words in the message sent by Nie Zheng.

Lin Zhi looked at him in surprise, and could see "How do you know?" written all over his face, but he didn't ask, but nodded slightly: "It's the past."

He was bullied when he had a stubborn personality, but it's no wonder that he has become like this now.

It didn't mean that he would continue to ask, Lin Li continued to say: "Later, that person had a car accident in front of me. The remedial class was not open that day, so he called me over, and then suddenly..."

Yu Lu roughly understood what he meant. If what he said was true, then this person, who was the first victim in the case three years ago, was indeed hospitalized due to a car accident.He didn't die in the car accident, but was killed after being out of safety. He thought about it and felt that this person was quite miserable.

He didn't tell Lin Yao that the person had died long ago, but maybe Lin Yao already knew, and there was an unspeakable discomfort in his expression.

Patting Lin Hao on the shoulder, he didn't dare to ask any more questions. It was uncomfortable to expose other people's scars. Although he still wanted to know the details of the car accident, it would be better to stop here.

When we got downstairs, Yu Lu was about to leave alone. Lin Hao stood at the gate of the community and watched him off, but he just caught a glimpse of Yu Lu's back and stopped him: "Mr. Yu, your back..."

Yu Lu belatedly touched his back and looked at his hands: Fuck, it's bleeding again.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm about to change the bandage," he smiled, "I just can't go to the bar recently, or I will be scolded to death by a doctor again."

Lin Hao seemed to know that Yulu would not be willing to answer too much about this injury, so he didn't ask further: "I'd better wait for a while to go to the bar or something, and heal the injury first." It was a scare that was visible to the naked eye human wounds.

"Well," Yu Lu wiped the blood from his hands on his trouser legs, "but I guess I won't be able to hold it in two weeks." He disappeared from Lin Rong's sight.

……

Yu Lu walked on the road alone, the cold wind blew away the pain in his back.He turned on the phone, pressed a button, turned off the recording that started when he walked out of Lin Zhi's house, and sent it to Nie Zheng.

He knew it was immoral to do so, but he really didn't have the courage to repeat Lin Zhi's words word by word. When he saw the recording was sent, he put the phone back in his pocket.

He took a passing taxi and arrived at the clinic quickly. He leaned on the wall and found Qiao Xiaozhi who was about to close the business.

Seeing Yu Lu who was tossing himself into such a state again, Qiao Xiaozhi almost couldn't bear to pick up the scalpel next to him: "You have to have a limit when you die, let Team Nie go find it tomorrow by yourself. Is Lin stew not good?"

"Not good," Yu Lu pretended to be reserved, watching Qiao Xiaozhi help him remove the bandage, "I want to help Team Nie."

Qiao Xiaozhi: ...

He couldn't wait to put the four big characters "Do not enter if you abuse the dog" pasted on the outside: "I see that you are using your life to abuse the dog," he threw the removed bandage into the trash can, "the wound It's better, but it doesn't take you to mess around like this."

"Can you blame me?" Yu Lu took out two napkins and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, "It's the wound that can't help but move."

Qiao Xiaozhi rolled his eyes at him: "It's the first time I've seen such a slapstick."

The two of them were quiet for a while, they applied the ointment, and wrapped Yu Lun with a new bandage.

Yu Lu looked at the more than 20-minute recording on the phone, then raised his head and stared at Qiao Xiaozhi: "Tell me what kind of operation did the patient who was killed end up having?"

"Huh?" Qiao Xiaozhi thought to himself that this guy is really thinking about solving the case all the time, and it is clear that he was so indifferent at the beginning and just wanted to live secretly. "I remember it was a tumor? Forgot."

"Little friend Lin Zhi told me it was a car accident." Yu Lu adjusted the progress bar of the recording and played it for Qiao Xiaozhi: "Then that person had a car accident in front of me..."

Qiao Xiaozhi said "Oh" without blushing, shook his head and said, "I can't remember what I said. It's all about the age."

"Generally speaking, I shouldn't completely forget the last normal surgery I did, right?" Yu Lu looked down at his phone, and Nie Zheng hadn't replied to his message yet.

"Really." Qiao Xiaozhi pulled the bandage a few times to make it a little firmer and not so easy to loosen.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

"Anyway, I can't remember clearly," Qiao Xiaozhi glued the tail of the strap on, "so I'd like to trouble you to quickly find out who was in the same ward as the deceased who framed me."

"I'm looking into it," Yu Lu refreshed the communication page a few times in disbelief, and Nie Zheng really hasn't replied yet, "It's such a long time ago, you should give them more time."

Qiao Xiaozhi glanced at him and nodded: "Come on, you, it seems that you were right when you were saved."

Yu Lu laughed, stretched carefully, and sighed: "Oh, who knew that things would turn out like this, even if it's for Team Nie, I will continue to help investigate."

As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone rang, and he quickly picked it up to look at it, as if he wanted to win a big prize, and what he received was indeed a message from Nie Zheng: Thank you.

In fact, it would be fine if there were only these two words. The key reason is that it is followed by an emoji of "love".

Yu Lu: ...

Seeing Yu Lu stiffen, Qiao Xiaozhi leaned over to look at it: ...

"Doctor Pig, what do you think this is?"

"There is a high probability that I accidentally touched it, or it was serious."

"I think the latter is more likely?"

"...Coincidentally, I think so too."

After that, Yu Lu received another message from Nie Zheng: Don't go out, stay safe.

……

In the following two weeks, no homicide occurred, but there was no new progress in the case at hand. The only thing to celebrate was that the plaster cast on Nie Zheng's arm was removed, and Yu Lu's wound healed a lot.

Qiao Xiaozhi finally agreed to let Yu Lu drink a little wine.

Then Yu Lu ran into the bar that he went to before, maybe he wanted to change his taste, and ordered a few glasses of foreign wine with a high degree of alcohol—he really wanted to get drunk, and he wanted to wait until he sobered up. Now, go find Nie Zheng.

The burning sensation in his stomach was a little more comfortable. After he finished his first cup, there was another person beside him: "Boss, have a bottle of soda."

The light in the bar was very dim, and it was difficult to see the appearance of the person beside him, but it was enough to make people nervous: the person was wearing a black sweater, and the tone of voice was very similar to that of the murderer.

Yu Lu gritted his teeth and tensed up.
