Live with the forensic chief

After Lin Pu saw the words above, he took a deep breath, and said to the phone, "So it was done by someone from the transportation company, and it has nothing to do with you?"

"In theory." Wu Li said, "but so far no one can prove it."

"So we obviously still have a chance of winning..." Lin Pu said hastily, "Why don't we fight for it?"

"..." Wu Li sighed, there were footsteps on his side, it sounded like he was in the corridor, "Lawyer Lin, I don't want 'chance', I just want to win. In fact, I can't bear Xu Luo, so wait for me to stabilize Come down, I will go to him, and you can convey this to me."

"I beg you..." Lin Pu immediately said, "Let him go."

"What does it mean to let him go?" Wu Li said, "You still don't understand our relationship."

Lin Pu heard his voice quiet down, and then suddenly hurried footsteps began.Lin Pu said: "Wu Li, what's the matter?"

"Your phone was monitored?" Wu Li whispered, "Or did you betray me to the police?"

"...I don't know." Lin Pu said, "You..."

Before he finished speaking, Wu Li hung up the phone directly.

Lin Pu: "..."

Call back again, it's already a continuous busy tone

"Tsk, I've been exposed." Lin Pu raised his hand and patted his forehead regretfully.

"Lin Lu, call." Wang Ru reminded.

Seeing the flashing name on it, Lin Pu answered with a sigh: "Hello."

"Are you okay?" Shu Meng said on the other end of the phone.

"Wu Li ran away." Lin Pu said, "Yu Fei and the others have moved, I don't know if they can catch up."

Shu Meng said, "Are you heading there? Give me an address."

"Don't come here." Lin Pu said, "You asked for leave on the first day of work?"

"Is it important for you to go to work?" Schumeng said.

"Don't..." Lin Pu's heart softened, and he coaxed, "Take lessons for your children, I will try to finish it before get off work, and we can have hot pot at night."

Shu Meng struggled for a while before compromising: "Then you should be careful."

"En." Lin Pu hung up the phone and looked at his mobile phone.

"You and Mr. Shu are really...sticky." Wang Ru sighed, "Lin Lu, where shall we stop?"

Lin Pu didn't answer her, he made two more phone calls to Wu Li, but there was still no reply, and then the phone was shut down.

After he calmed down in the car, he slowly began to recall what Wu Li said just now. Lin Pu always felt enlightened, and a sense of powerlessness filled his whole body.

Wu Li may have wanted to leave from the very beginning, no matter whether the final trial results are guilty or not guilty, he will leave.He may have had a careful plan from a very early stage, but Lin Pu already felt that he was playing everyone around.

He was thinking, if it was not himself and Shu Meng, but someone else, Wu Li might have succeeded at this time.

He patted Wang Ru and asked her to take out the laptop.

"Just modify it in the car." Lin Pu said, "After the modification, you will submit it to the procuratorate later."

"Good." Wang Ru said.

Lin Pudao: "I emphasize that I hope to put pressure on the Japanese side to provide more details of the case, otherwise the investigation cannot continue."

"Okay." Wang Ru said, "What's the situation now? Are the police making arrests?"

Lin Pu didn't answer her, he saw Yu Fei called him, asked Wang Ru to wait, and answered.

"Hello? How's it going?" Lin Pu asked.

"Run away, he's too sharp." Yu Fei said, "This brother is playing a spy war with our small police station in a third-tier city. He can't catch it like a loach."

"..." Lin Pu was left speechless by his metaphor, and he suppressed a smile before saying seriously, "We are too passive now, he just admitted something to me on the phone, obviously it was planned from the beginning Okay. I underestimated him in this matter, and I'm sorry."

"It has nothing to do with you." Yu Fei said, "What did he tell you?"

"This will be explained later, but he must be trying to find a way to leave the country now." Lin Pu said, "Do you want to do more investigations near the coastal ports?"

"Okay, but he should still be around, anyway, you continue to try to contact him." Yu Fei said, "Hang up first."

After Lin Pu hung up the phone, he was silent for a while, and said to Wang Ru, "You do it first, and I'll go to the detention center."

"Hey, I'll take you there." Wang Ru said.

"No, you will submit it to the procuratorate after you confirm that it is correct." Lin Pu said, "I trust you."

Wang Ru wanted to say something else, but Lin Pu had already opened the car door and got out of the car directly.

Although Lin Pu felt that Xu Luo seemed to be a dispensable person to Wu Li, but when he thought about it, Xu Luo might know something else.

Over the past few days, Lin Pu repeatedly wanted to see Xu Luo several times, but in the end he only saw one side.Xu Luo seems to be determined not to provide any other help, and to wait for the verdict.

When Lin Pu saw him this time, he told the detention center about his intentions.He thought that if Xu Luo still didn't cooperate, he might try to make up some other words, at least so that he could see him.

But fortunately, this time Xu Luo agreed to meet, Lin Pu made up his mind and it was useless.

Before Lin Pu let go of his breath, Yu Fei called again. Lin Pu answered the call while sitting in the car, and first heard the good news: "Wu Li has been caught."

Before he had time to be happy, Yu Fei went on to say: "When he and his accomplices were fleeing while chasing the car, the car hit the lever and was smashed. They ran out of the road and were hit and rolled over. Both of them were seriously injured."

Lin Pu couldn't react because of this turning point: "...Huh?"

"Well, that's it. We're rushing to the hospital now." Yu Fei said, "It's quite serious, especially for Wu Li, whose skull was stuck between the top and the seat, and he was already unconscious when he was lifted out, fuck."

"Why are you still swearing?" Lin Pu was dizzy for a while, and leaned on the back of the car seat to support his sense of loss of strength, "...I should be the one who swears."

"You can scold me if you want, I really feel like I'm going crazy. I just feel that what the hell is happening today." Yu Fei said, "If he just died like this, many of our clues will be cut off like this. !"

Lin Pu said: "Ask the doctor to help. We must save him. If he is alive, he will be punished by law. He is still useful. He cannot die."

"Of course I know he can't die! But, do you still remember that you are his defense lawyer?" Yu Fei smiled and said, "Okay, let me check the situation first, how about you? When can I come to the hospital?"

"I wanted to meet Xu Luo." Lin Pu looked around in the back seat and said, "I'm almost at the detention center."

"Then you go first." Yu Fei said, "Anyway, it's useless for you to come here."

"it is good."

Half an hour later, when Lin Pu arrived at the place, he stood outside the detention center, took out his pockets and bags and put them in the locker, and stuffed his documents and other things into the closet, when he suddenly heard his mobile phone vibrate continuously.

Lin Pu sighed, opened the zipper of the bag again, dug inside for a while and took out the phone.

"Hello." Lin Pu saw that it was Yu Fei's call, "I'm in the detention center, after I see Xu..."

"Wu Li is basically hopeless." Yu Fei didn't talk nonsense to him, and said directly, "His skull is shattered and oppressing the airway, even if the doctor removes pieces of debris from him during the operation, his bleeding volume will not last beyond the operation." Finish."

Lin Pu: "...It's only been half an hour. Is there no other way?"

"I'll ask again, but be prepared for him to go just like that." Yu Fei said.

"I see." Lin Pu said.

"Ahh... have you gone to the detention center?" Yu Fei said, "Speaking of which, if Xu Luo really took the blame, he will be prosecuted later."

"En." Lin Pu said.

"Why are you talking about him?..." Yu Fei said, "Forget it, let's not talk, my colleague called me, come here as soon as possible."

Lin Pu waited for him to hang up, then turned around and leaned against the door for a long while without returning to his senses.

It wasn't until people outside began to urge that Lin Pu responded.

He locked the door, rearranged his clothes, and waited for a while before following the people into the meeting room.

The words that Lin Pu had concocted 5 minutes ago reached his lips, but when he saw Xu Luo, he couldn't say a word.In just over two hours, he was so shocked by the sudden change that he forgot the opening remarks for a while, and even forgot how to say hello like ordinary people.

He had never been so nervous in court, his palms were sweating, and he was suffering and uncomfortable.

Xu Luoliu's hair-cut look was also very gentle and fair. He saw Lin Pu sitting down, and when Lin Pu was still thinking about how to speak, Xu Luo said first: "...What do you think he ran away?"

"It means literally." Lin Pu coughed.

Xu Luo looked down at the table, and Lin Pu knew what he should have thought of by looking at his expression.

He said: "I just want to ask you, what exactly did Chen Zhi tell you?"

"..."

"It doesn't matter whether you say it now, because the conversation time is enough to be used as evidence." Lin Pu said, "This is just a question that I personally want to know, that's all."

Xu Luo said: "Actually, there is nothing, just a call for help. Chen Zhi said that he was taken to a boat by Wuli, and asked me if I could save him. I don't know if he has sent similar messages to others, or he thinks that Only I could have saved him for a moment. But I missed it... In a sense, I did kill him, too."

Xu Luo sighed for a long time, leaned on the back of the chair with slumped shoulders and looked at Lin Pu: "I have abandoned that social networking site for a long time, and you reminded me that I just went up to take a look. I saw that message the other day, saw the post After this time, I knew that Wuli and I were lying."

"...You should have told me earlier." Lin Pu clenched his fist and knocked twice on the table, feeling a little annoyed, "What are you thinking, Xu Luo! After these evidences are discovered, you Even if you don't admit it, you will be withdrawn and prosecuted in the end, your time is not precious and you can waste it, right? When will you find out that he is not worth it?"

"But the police are only finding the time point, and haven't found any more evidence." Xu Luo said, "Speaking of it, what about others? Does he know about it?"

"..." Lin Pu suddenly thought of this question and his purpose of coming here.

Xu Luo looked at him, and he looked at Xu Luo, their eyes met each other, speechless.

"What do you mean?" Xu Luo asked in a steady voice, "What about others?"

Lin Pu let go of his clenched fist. He looked at Xu Luo and asked, "If he will definitely go to prison, do you... have any plans for the future?"

"I don't know." Xu Luo raised his hands, and the handcuffs on his hands rang, "I don't know if I have a future."

Lin Pu shook his head: "Don't say such things again. When you really get rid of his control one day, you will find how unworthy he is."

"He won't. As long as I'm outside, he can find me anywhere in the world." Xu Luo said, "Unless he's dead."

Lin Pu didn't answer his words.

He tried to keep his expression looking steady.

"He's dead?" Xu Luo raised one eyebrow slightly.

It's time for guests.

Police officers from the detention center pulled Xu Luo up from both sides. Xu Luo looked at Lin Pu and repeated softly: "Is he dead? Lawyer Lin."

Lin Pu said: "I will fight for you not to pursue the lawsuit..."

"Is he dead?" Xu Luo suddenly shouted, "Lawyer Lin? What about others? Lawyer Lin??"

"Not yet..." Lin Pu stood up.

Xu Luo immediately quieted down when he heard his words, Lin Pu didn't look at him again, and he walked out of the reception room as if running away without looking back.

After coming out of the reception room, he went back to the locker, opened the cabinet with the key, and quickly took out his mobile phone.Yu Fei's two missed calls are displayed above, along with a message.

—It can't be saved.

Lin Pu looked at the message, took out his bag and put it on his body, he closed the cabinet door, leaned his forehead against it, and then slammed it hard twice, the flimsy cabinet door made a loud "bang bang" sound.

Unwillingness and pain, mixed with a sense of suffocation surged up.

died?Can't save it?

Such a light word.

……

It was already past six o'clock in the evening when Lin Pu came out of the hospital.

Wu Li’s relatives are no longer alive, only a cousin who lived in another county, heard his name for a while, and then said that he had not been in touch with him for a long time, and they did not have deep feelings for each other. He wanted to ask himself for money, and hung up the phone in a hurry without saying a few words.

He was breathing through a breathing tube, and was in a deep coma, and he might leave at any time.

Lin Pu couldn't accept this kind of scene, the process of a person dying gradually with the organ failure of the ventilator.So he greeted the police and prepared to leave the hospital.

At the entrance of the hospital, Shu Meng's phone flashed on the screen. Lin Pu stared at the two words, and felt his shoulders sink, and a deep and pleasant voice penetrated into his ears: "Can you answer the phone with your eyes? You Cell phones aren't that advanced."

"You can see me, why are you calling?" Lin Pu turned his eyes to him.

As soon as he got closer, the two almost kissed on the street.

Shu Meng rubbed his nose against his ears, straightened up and adjusted his glasses: "Are you hungry, go eat?"

Lin Pu didn't speak, and stood at the corner of the hospital looking at him.

Shu Meng spread his hands to him: "Or do you want to hug me?"

"En." Lin Pu leaned over, and the two hugged each other in the shadow of the corner.

Lin Pu buried himself in his neck and took a deep breath.

The smell of Shumeng's body, washing powder and a touch of disinfectant, was clean and pleasant.

"Old Wei told me." Shu Meng patted him on the back, "You have worked hard, you obviously prepared for so long for Wuli, but in the end..."

"I'm a little uncomfortable." Lin Pu sniffed, "But I don't know what I'm suffering about."

"You think it's too easy and sudden for him to die." Shu Meng said, "You still think that if you have to face Dr. Xu one day in the future, his dependence and spiritual support will collapse. You can't bear to see it."

"All of them." Lin Pu muttered, "Why do things always get smoother when it comes to your mouth? You know my thinking mode too well."

"Because I must be the person who knows you best in the whole world, baby." Shu Meng patted his waist, "But no matter what you think now, Lawyer Lin, I'm really hungry..."

Lin Pu said: "Let's go, to celebrate your resumption of work, let's eat hot pot."

Two people are walking on the road, it's spring, and there is no pocket that can be reached to cover the hands that are clasped together.Only the two arms that were constantly rubbing against each other on the street, Lin Pu said as he walked, "What else did Captain Wei say to you?"

"If you hadn't insisted on the private message between Dr. Xu and Chen Zhi, maybe they would not have doubted Wu Li. If you conveyed the legal opinion document to the procuratorate today, they might consider acquittal." Shu Meng said, "But what a coincidence, today, the social networking site finally responded, and everything changed."

"Indeed, but if nothing happened, Wu Li would not have died," Lin Pu said.

Shu Meng raised his hand and rubbed his hair: "No if, after all, no one knows the state of the cat inside before opening the box, but..."

Lin Pu heard his drawn out voice, and couldn't help but glance at him: "What?"

"But no matter what, at seven o'clock in the evening, Shu Meng will come to pick Lin Pu up to eat hot pot—" Shu Meng said, "This is inevitable, and it will not change due to various external factors." "..." Lin Pu said He turned away and laughed angrily, "Are you a pig, Mr. Shu? You know how to eat hot pot."

"I am." Shu Meng said seriously.

Lin Pu's depressed and speechless mood relaxed a lot, he generously took Shu Meng's hand, and walked side by side with him in the late spring and early summer night.

……

Wu Li survived until the third day on a ventilator.

Finally he was pronounced dead.

At that time, Lin Pu was entrusted to go to his house to check the property because he knew that time was running out.After hearing the news after one o'clock in the afternoon, he was leading other people to pack up his bedroom.

Wu Li's house had been searched long ago, and all the useful evidence had been taken away, and the rest were bits and pieces.Most of Wuli's things are fishing gear or other things related to fishing. In terms of life and interests, he seems to be a very boring person.

Lin Pu couldn't help thinking of what Xu Luo once said to him, that life is very boring, and one must find some value in mediocrity.

He saw a lot of money and cards in the bedside cabinet in the bedroom, and he also saw a worn-out wallet. Lin Pu opened the wallet, but there was no money in it, only a folded letter.

Spread the letter flat, and at a glance, you can see a red-bellied and sharp-toothed fish drawn inside, which is a piranha raised by Wuli.

A few words were written below.

"In the past few days, I found a fish that looks like Lolo.

Let me draw it for you, it looks like this.The teeth are sharp, but very timid, especially like the way you grin your teeth.

It's very beautiful. If I have a chance, I'll bring it back and show it to Luo Luo. "

The date he saw the inscription was eight years ago.

Lin Pu felt that Wu Li might not even remember that this piece of paper would be caught in this wallet. Compared with the current situation, the title on it was still full of sense of disobedience.Lin Pu himself could not have imagined that Wu Li had written to Xu Luo in such a tone back then.

While looking at it, he thought of the fish in Wuli. He came down from the upstairs and went to the long passage. He turned on the light and saw that the expensive fish had died because no one took care of the water temperature, salinity, acidity and alkalinity. Most of it.And in the bathtub of the piranha at the end of the corridor, the fish were still swimming back and forth in the tank, but Lin Pu found that it was much less than what he saw when he came.

He took a closer look and saw some fine pieces at the bottom of the tank. Looking carefully, there were fish fins and heads. Without eating, it was obvious that they were eating each other's corpses in a fish tank.So there are more or less dead and floating fish corpses in other fish tanks, but the species in this tank is alive and kicking, and it is not affected at all.

Lin Pu looked at it for a while, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered those disgusting fish and insects in his kitchen.Probably because the thing was too disgusting, the investigators didn't look at that place at all.

Although these fish will obviously be disposed of later, he doesn't want to see the scene of killing each other in the process.

When he got to the kitchen, he saw that the fish and insects in the water tank box were still there, and the brown, white, and red worms were twisting and densely packed in the box.Lin Pu casually picked up a spoon in his hand, pushed aside the motionless upper layer, and suddenly revealed a black plastic bag underneath.

He didn't feel anything at first, but the tightly bound plastic bag was very small, so he took it out with a single hook, and heard the sound of tinkling inside.

Lin Pu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that there might be something inside. He hurriedly put the bag on the table and opened it, only to find a key inside.

"Is there anything we can't open that needs a key?" Lin Pu turned his head and asked the investigator outside the door loudly.

"Can't open it?" The investigator said, "There is one. There is a built-in safe under the corridor of the fish tank. The combination lock has failed, and it is very troublesome to take it out. It seems that there is a keyhole."

"Where is it?" Lin Pu asked hurriedly.

The investigator led him to the corridor of the fish tank. He lay down on the ground and saw a place between the tiles that could be moved.The combination lock on the top has been pressed and does not light up. I don't know if it is out of power or malfunctioning, but there is a keyhole under the combination.

Lin Pu inserted the lock///, turned it twice, and it actually opened.

"..." The investigators were very surprised, "Where did you find this?"

Lin Pu didn't care to discuss with him, and turned out all the things inside.A few of them surrounded the safe and found that there were many documents hidden in it. A large number of contracts, account books, addresses and other information about the transportation company were dumped out.

At that moment Lin Pu was delighted and excited, his hands holding these things were trembling.

He asked the investigators to take out each item carefully and take pictures to preserve the evidence. At the end of the search, they found a brown paper bag. Lin Pu opened the bag to check, and took out a few sheets of paper from it.

"...a will?" An investigator said beside him, "My God! He really has a lot of property? But I heard before that even if some illegal income is excluded, his normal income is enough. Why? Can't figure out how to kill yourself?"

"Is all the property behind Xu Luo going to this?" Another investigator followed and said, "Isn't this the one who stole the victim's organs? Oh, it is said that they are homosexuals. It turns out that he left all the property to his lover ah."

"It's quite romantic." The investigator smiled at him.

Lin Pu was sandwiched between the two of them looking over and over again at this legally binding will made a year ago, and he became even more at a loss for a while.It wasn't until the investigator next to him called his name that he recovered and continued to search for other things.

He put the will in his bag, together with the painting of the red piranha in his wallet.

The author has something to say: this volume is over.I didn't whitewash Wuli, and I will explain this part again when I write Xu Luo's story later.

At this point, all the little stories of this story are over.

Tomorrow is the final chapter, thank you for your company over the past four months.It's long, it's tough, and it's precious.

thanks everyone.

The eighth volume returns as a boy
