Sick roommate observation notes

Since the man bandaged his wound, Shen Lu found that he seemed unable to ruthlessly refuse the other party's request. This is probably what the saying goes: "Ah, if I can help, just ask."

"It won't be too much trouble, I just want to ask you to help take care of the flowers I raise while I'm away," Qin Qiu shook his head and said when Shen Lu looked at the vases placed on the first floor , "It's not these bottled flowers, but I have a pot of epiphyllum in my room. Epiphyllum is relatively delicate. If you don't water it for a few days, although it won't dry out, it will make it unsuitable for flowering, so it needs to be cared for regularly. .”

After a pause, Qin Qiu explained in a warm voice: "Too much accumulated water will make it easy to rot roots, so you don't need to water too much water every day when taking care of it, just use the small watering can on my desk to sprinkle water on its leaves to keep them moist. good."

Shen Lu only had the experience of raising a cactus to death, so he felt a little confused when he heard the words, and finally picked out the important part of the man's words to make a conclusion: "Oh, good, just take time every day to sprinkle some on its leaves. Is water enough?"

"Yes, please," Qin Qiu's slightly curved brows and eyes glowed with gratitude, "Let's add Penguin, if you have anything you don't know about flowers, you can send me a message, because if you call me I may not be able to receive it, but even if the message on the software is not timely, I can reply you quickly, so it will be much more convenient to get in touch."

For a while, Shen Lu failed to notice the subtle logical loopholes in the man's words, and exchanged Penguin accounts with the man in a daze.

Qin Qiu's account has the same mysterious aura as his. The name is "SC" which is a combination of two C letters. It seems that the outline of a hand is vaguely hidden under the dark head, but it can't be seen clearly.

Qin Qiu, who successfully got his little roommate's social account, raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction: "Why don't you let me treat you to dinner today? I'll cook for myself, so I'll just thank you for helping me grow flowers for the next week, okay?"

Shen Lu was injured and his hands and feet were inconvenient, so he didn't refuse Qin Qiu's invitation.

When the steak was brought to the table, he realized that the man's cooking skills were beyond expectations. The fried steak was excellent in color and fragrant, which made people appetite; the black pepper sauce was made by Qin Qiu himself, and the man A very geometric pattern was poured on the dinner plate; the boiled potatoes, which should have been ordinary, were also carved by the man into the shape of roses and adorned beside the steak, which added a lot of points to this plate of food. .

Shen Lu, who is not in the habit of taking pictures before meals, didn't hold back, took out his phone and took a photo of the steak on the table, then he cut a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, the locked gravy immediately spread on the tip of his tongue When it exploded, the fresh and fragrant taste made him feel endless aftertaste.

"Let's make a price," he finally couldn't hold back, and looked at Qin Qiu with glowing eyes, "How much salary do you want to be my personal chef?"

Qin Qiu couldn't help laughing out loud: "I don't need to pay you, and I can make delicious food for you."

Seeing that Shen Lu's eyes suddenly became brighter, the man propped his chin and smiled and added: "As long as you are willing to live here and be my roommate, I won't mind even cooking for you every day."

Shen Lu was a little flustered by the man's aggressive gaze, and the blood gradually spread to his ears. He quickly shut his mouth and obediently lowered his head to cut the steak, but he couldn't help but think in his heart whether his roommate should Could it be gay too? !

After guessing like this, the man didn't make any further attacks on him, which made him even more unable to guess what the other party was thinking.

And Qin Qiu was not only very quick and decisive when arranging the schedule, but also very swift and decisive when executing the arrangement. After dinner, he packed the suitcase for the business trip, and then drove to the airport to catch the 11:30 flight that night.

When he was about to go to bed, Shen Lu was lying on his side on the bed, only then realized that his roommate had allowed him the right to enter and exit the room!This means that if the other party is really doing something illegal, then I, who can enter and leave the other party's room, will definitely be able to find something suspicious!

what happened?Was it because Qin Qiu was too careless and failed to discover this problem, or was it because the other party really hadn't done anything before that was why he had such confidence?

Shen Lu pinched his chin a little irritably. He finally found out that if he wanted to go to bed early, he couldn't think about any issues related to Qin Qiu before going to bed.

Shen Lu didn't think it was necessary to go to the hospital for his injury, so he still took a taxi to the police station to go to work the next day, probably because his brave behavior the day before had won the favor of the police in the station, and all the documents he needed this day were all He was helped to bring it to the desk, and when these colleagues handed the documents to him, each of them smiled more friendly than the other.

"They originally thought that Sean, if you got your Ph. D. at a young age, you might be someone who can learn but is useless. After all, there were some people who came to apply for temporary consultants before, and a few of them spoke clearly and logically, but they were frightened when they followed us to the police. She couldn't even think calmly, she didn't help at all but just stayed there as a display." Bella's desk was next to Shen Lu, and she came over to explain in a low voice when she saw Shen Lu's bewildered expression, "But Sean, you are different from those people, after I told them what happened yesterday, they all thought you were courageous, so I thought they would count on you if they encountered a case in the future!"

Hearing this, Shen Lu scratched his nose in embarrassment: "Don't praise me, the handling of the case must be mainly up to you, I just play a supporting role, besides, you didn't say yesterday that the bureau rarely receives cases Is it?"

As soon as the words fell, a police officer who was supposed to be at the reception desk rushed into the office in a panic, holding the door frame and shouting that there was a case, and it was a murder case.

Bella opened her lips and didn't know what to say, she twisted her face for a while and gave Shen Lu a hand: "Awesome, Sean, where did you open your mouth before?!"

"..." Shen Lu was silent for a moment, and whispered resentfully, "Is it too late for me to resign now? If I leave, will the world be completely peaceful?"

While the two were whispering to each other, the black police officer sitting in the corner of the office sternly said to the arraigning police officer: "Why are you panicking? Be careful! Go back and calm the reporter's emotions first, and we will come out to receive him after we prepare."

"Okay sir!" The policeman standing at attention and saluting, then turned around and ran away with small steps.

The black police officer then sent Bella and another male police officer, Hugh, to the reception to contact the informant, and Shen Lu, as a temporary consultant, naturally followed.

The reporter was a red-haired middle-aged woman. When the three of Shen Lu entered the door, she raised her eyes and glanced at the police officers, then quickly lowered her head. Although the woman's movements were quick, Shen Lu, who had studied related courses, From that brief glance, Lu could see that the woman's expression was flustered and terrified, indeed like the expression she would have after witnessing a murder case.

As a policewoman, it is easier for Bella to gain the trust of women. After talking in low voices, the three decided to ask Bella as a representative to ask the reporter for details. Bella sighed helplessly, picked up the water glass that was prepared for the reporter on the table, and handed it to the red-haired woman: "Don't panic, lady, organize your language first, and then tell us what happened, Okay? Don't be in a hurry, because what people say when they are in a hurry may not be good for us to handle the case, so you drink water first, and we can talk about the case after you have rested?"

The woman held the water glass and nodded, then carefully passed the water to her mouth and took a sip. Shen Lu and the others waited for about six or seven minutes before hearing the red-haired woman tremblingly say: "Dead... my husband, I just came home from shopping and found him murdered at home."

Under the guidance of Bella, the red-haired woman tremblingly told the details of the incident. According to her, she went out to the supermarket after lunch. She bought ingredients in the supermarket when she was young, and drove home around 02:30. As soon as she entered the house, she found her husband lying on the kitchen floor with blood everywhere, and a kitchen knife was stuck in his head.

After listening to the red-haired woman's confession, Hugh couldn't help frowning: "Why didn't you call an ambulance immediately when you saw your husband lying on the ground?"

"I-I was so scared," the red-haired woman was dumb for a moment, then murmured, "I went to test his breath, but he-he was not breathing, so I was very scared, really scared. "

"It's wrong for you to do this," Hugh's voice could not help but grow colder, "If your husband was still alive and you didn't call an ambulance for him..."

"Okay, okay, can't you say a few words less?" Before the cold colleague finished what he wanted to say, Bella hurriedly interrupted his questioning, "This lady is not a murderer, and the deceased is a murderer." Her husband, of course, now is the time when she feels the most panic and helpless, why are you being so fierce to her?"

So Hugh pursed his lips, closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Seeing that the two policemen could not ask any more valuable clues, Shen Lu closed his eyes and began to simulate the crime scene in his mind.

It is not easy to enter a person's home and complete a murder without attracting the attention of the neighbors in an hour and a half, because even a habitual burglary takes a lot of time to sneak into a house ;Even if the murderer successfully entered the room, it would be very difficult for him to kill the owner directly without attracting the owner's attention, and as long as he can't kill the murderer with one blow, there will be a risk of being discovered, because this Sometimes the owner will hide, ask for help, and even fight back; when he kills someone, his attire, blood on his body, and his suspicious figure may all be discovered by the neighbors around him, let alone the In broad daylight when human activities are most frequent.

After the reasoning was completed, Shen Lu opened his eyes again, with a serious tone: "I think it is very likely that an acquaintance committed the crime."

If there is such a person who can easily enter the deceased's house, easily gain the trust of the deceased, and easily leave the criminal area, then this person most likely has an identity that the deceased and even the deceased's neighbors are familiar with.

As soon as Shen Lu finished speaking, Bella noticed that the red-haired woman's body was shaking in shock, so she stepped forward and patted the red-haired woman's back: "Don't be afraid, no matter who the murderer is, we will definitely help you Get justice!"

"Thank you," the red-haired woman choked with sobs, "If an acquaintance killed my husband, who on earth would the murderer be?"

"Now that the evidence is not complete, we have no way to conclude who the murderer is so rashly. If we want to come to a conclusion, we need to go to the crime scene for further observation and evidence collection." Hugh finally found another opportunity to speak. He still remembered the incident that Bella disliked him just now. , I tried to soften my tone when I spoke this time, "Come on, you go to the office with us to sign a letter of authorization for entry, and then we will send the police to your house to check the situation."
