Live with the forensic chief

Xu Luo's words fell into the minds of the two of them like a thunderbolt, and it felt like there were still echoes.Lin Pu didn't have time to withdraw his shocked expression, and looked at him fixedly.

Xu Luo didn't speak, and put his hand back on the table.When he touched the table with his fingers, Lin Pu glanced subconsciously.

The exposed thumb was red from his pinching.

But Lin Pu quickly withdrew his gaze, and looked at Xu Luo's face again.If it weren't for his fingers, Lin Pu could hardly feel anything strange about him.

Xu Luo's words turned the conversation between them into passive again.Although the conversation was endless, Lin Pu didn't even understand why he was involved in this case.

The waiter just came to deliver the food, and they were briefly interrupted. Lin Pu made eye contact with Shu Meng for a moment while the waiter blocked the other party's view, and then kept pace.

After the waiter left, Shu Meng sat up straight and was about to speak, but Xu Luo said first: "You are investigating a corpse case. If I remember correctly, an unknown male corpse appeared in the villa before. That case was the first to be discovered." It's already December."

"..." Shu Meng said, "The Black Creek police are indeed investigating."

"I have clues." Xu Luo pointed at Lin Pu's mobile phone, "But I don't want to cooperate with the police. If you are willing to help me, I can provide you with clues and let you contact the police."

Shu Meng looked at him: "What do you mean?"

"What clue do you have?" Lin Pu asked.

"This boy's name is Chen Zhi." Xu Luo didn't seem to want to beat around the bush with them, and his speed of speech accelerated, "I don't know him, I haven't had contact with him, but we have a common acquaintance, I guess this person may be related to this It's related to the matter, after all, I have no evidence."

Lin Pu was a little dazed by this passage: "...What do you mean, I don't understand."

"He and Chen Zhi have a mutual friend, but Dr. Xu doesn't know him." Shu Meng's eyes fell on Xu Luo, "Is that right, Dr. Xu?"

"En." Xu Luo responded briefly.

Lin Pu asked immediately, "Who is he?"

"I can take you to see him, but you promise me not to tell the police first." Xu Luo subconsciously picked his thumb with his fingernails, "There are many things involved, and I have no evidence to accuse him. It's just that you suddenly found me, I think... I think it is necessary to talk to you."

"I see." Lin Pu still wanted to ask him, "But... who is he?"

Xu Luo seemed determined not to answer his question. He picked up the chopsticks and took two mouthfuls of food, then put the chopsticks down and took a sip of tea: "Are you free on weekends?"

Lin Pu thought for a while: "The day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah." Xu Luo said, "I'll take you to see him, and I'm going to another place."

"Wait a minute, who are you meeting? See that friend?" Shumeng frowned, "If he is really related, maybe even a murderer, then he is extremely dangerous. We shouldn't go there rashly, right?"

"It's not about this problem. He's very cautious. I'm afraid he'll find out something." Xu Luo turned to Lin Pu and said, "But Lawyer Lin, I'll introduce you to him because he asked me to find a lawyer to handle it before. For some things, this excuse is very useful. Now the only person who can get close to him is a lawyer, if anyone finds out that the police have thoughts about him..."

Xu Luo's drooping eyelids suddenly lifted: "I can't guarantee whether he is dangerous or not, but I will do my best to minimize the danger."

They were silent with each other for a while, as if preparing for the next step of the conversation.

"Okay, thank you for the hospitality." Xu Luo stood up and said.

Lin Pu looked at the untouched food on the table, stood up and said, "It hasn't been moved."

"It's not important. We've finished talking." Xu Luo smiled slightly at him, "Of course Lawyer Lin and Dr. Shu have the right to refuse me. Our conversations are based on mutual trust, not...helping each other .I know this is not a relationship between people..."

Xu Luo put his coat on his arm: "In other words, this is a dangerous thing, so it's best for everyone to speak clearly and think clearly."

"En." Lin Pu said.

"I'm leaving first, you think about it." Xu Luo said, "After careful consideration, we will discuss the next thing."

After seeing off Xu Luo, he didn't take a few bites from the table.Shu Meng moved aimlessly with his hands on the glass disc table, his eyes stayed on the dishes, and he never spoke.

Lin Pu leaned back in the chair, put his hands on his chin, and tried his best to digest the conversation just now.

After a while, he said, "What do you think?"

"Huh?" Shu Meng picked up fish with his chopsticks on his head.

"Don't eat it." Lin Pu patted his wrist.

"I'll listen to my wife." Shumeng shaved off the fishbone, put the fish into his bowl, "I'll go if you go."

Lin Pu stared at him, squinted his eyes for a while and said firmly: "Even if I don't go, you will go secretly, too?"

Shu Meng immediately burst into a smile, like a big fox: "How come?"

Of course they would, both of them knew each other well.

Shumeng's obsession with this case makes the existence of danger in front of the truth close to zero.So whether it is him or Shu Meng, in the end, he must personally draw a successful conclusion to this matter.

"Then it's settled?" Lin Pu said.

"Yeah." Shu Meng stretched his waist and relaxed his shoulders, "...But I'm still not satisfied."

Lin Pu thought for a while, and said, "Do you think Dr. Xu...wants to discuss something with us?"

"I'm not him, how could I guess it." Shumeng chewed the food in front of him, "But it's definitely not the same thing that he said, probably because the words were on the verge of hearing us finish talking about the matter, and then turned around." Swallow it back at a bend."

Lin Pu thought of his red fingers pinched by himself, and sighed: "It's too difficult to pry his mouth open."

"I don't have any good feelings for him to this day." Shumeng served him a bowl of soup, "But if something comes to us, we won't be afraid. Right, lawyer Lin?"

Lawyer Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "...he wants to confess the murderer, and let me defend him later, right?"

"Your way of thinking is very strange." Shu Meng said, "Do you need to be so troublesome?"

"That's right..." Lin Pu said, "He doesn't need to."

The two guessed and went, but neither had a definite result, so they simply ate quietly.It was rare for Lawyer Lin to be so generous with a table of two thousand meals. In the end, because the guests left early, two people ate the entire table.

Lin Pu paid the bill and walked back on the way, almost vomited.Shu Meng was next to him, dangling with his hands in his pockets, looking for some digestive tablets at the pharmacy: "You said you can't take it, don't you?..."

"It's my money." Lin Pu glared at him.

"You said that although your husband's annual income is not as good as yours, he has a house, a car and two jobs. He has no father, no mother, no children, and nowhere to spend his money." Shu Meng said, "It's more than enough to support you."

"Yes." Lin Pu patted the credit card slip on his chest, "reimbursement."

"As I ordered, I'll send you some money." Shu Meng rubbed against him and pulled him over, "Hey, Lawyer Lin is serious, spend money generously in the future, don't be picky. I don't want you for rent and meals, don't Pay back the money to my account every month, if you have enough money to raise your sister, spend more on yourself, if your husband has money, don’t save it for me.”

"..." Lin Pu rolled his eyes.

"Be nice to yourself, baby." Shu Meng said, "I'm dying of distress."

"It's not as exaggerated as you said..." Lin Pu said helplessly.

"In short, just be healthy and safe." Shu Meng said.

……

The two of them didn't say anything, but secretly they still cared about the case.

On the second day, Shu Meng came back from the Municipal Bureau and told Lin Pu: "This Chen Zhi is too strange."

Shu Meng said: "His parents have always insisted that he is in Japan, and the police can't verify it here. They even wonder if his parents are still involved in it because they are so angry. But his parents do not have any entry records these days. As for Chen Zhi...he There is no record of entry within three months, although whether the person is in Japan still needs to be verified, but this is indeed... It can also overturn our previous guess."

"No entry record?" Lin Pu murmured and repeated, sighing, "...so maybe it's really not him?"

"Baby, let's push it backwards." Shumeng pointed out, "If I kill this person, and then continue to play him on social media in order to pretend that he is not dead, then I somehow put him smuggled his body back to the country... On the other hand, because I have to smuggle it back, I must use the act of playing him to create an alibi for myself? Then the fact that there is no entry record happens to be the best alibi. !"

Lin Pu waved his hand: "Stop talking, I'm so messed up."

"But it's just a guess." Schumeng said, "In this case, there are too many clues that cannot be connected, and no one can find it. It seems that every time there is evidence that can be directly captured, it will end up in another way." Being erased, without any direct evidence, this is the most fucking annoying."

Lin Pu sighed and rubbed his temples with his hands.

……

In the blink of an eye, the weekend came, and Shu Meng and Lin Pu drove to Xu Luo's side. Xu Luo only told them that day that they needed to go to Mizhou, which was nearly two hours' drive away from Baijin.Lin Pu listened to this place in Mizhou, and felt that they had talked about it unintentionally before.

Lin Pu didn't feel anything at first, Xu Luo told them not to drive, and took them there by himself.

Shu Meng did not agree and insisted that Lin Pu go in his car.Xu Luo didn't force it, and finally got into Shu Meng's car to save trouble.

Lin Pu knew that Shu Meng didn't trust Xu Luo, and he had always shown his feelings for Xu Luo. Even though they had worked together, Shu Meng was still full of hostility towards him.Although Lin Pu was not so hostile, he had complicated feelings for Xu Luo. On the one hand, he really didn't trust him, and on the other hand, this person was full of qualities that attracted him.

On the way, Lin Pu took the initiative to sit in the back seat, wanting to ask Xu Luo what he knew.Xu Luo didn't seem to have eaten breakfast, holding two rice balls in his hands, broke half of them to Lin Pu, and said with a smile, "Here."

"..." Lin Pu thanked, "Thank you."

"Eat it, I made it myself." Xu Luo said, "The craftsmanship is not very good, do you cook at home?"

"No." Lin Pu said, "Shu Meng is the one who sits."

After the car left Baijin, it entered the highway.Xu Luo didn't chat with him anymore. After eating the food in his hand, he opened a bottle of water, drank and said, "So have you contacted Chen Zhi?"

Lin Pu shook his head: "Not yet."

"He's dead." Xu Luo closed his eyes, "That corpse must be him."
