Her whole body trembled suddenly, she stood up quickly, instinctively jumped to the side, and stared at the other person nervously.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask if you were sitting alone."
The other person is a tall young man, quite handsome, but very thin. Obviously, he didn't expect that his move would frighten Mu Yu. He put his hands together and bowed repeatedly, and at the same time apologized and explained.
"You, why are you asking this?" Mu Yu asked softly after calming down a little, while at the same time guessing in his mind whether the other party was the person who sent him the message.
"I'm sorry," the young man bent down and bowed again before pointing to his table and continued to explain, "It's like this. I invited my friends to have supper, and they came a little late. All the round tables were occupied, leaving only The small square table is not large enough for seating. I wanted to find another restaurant, but my friends are all regular customers of this noodle shop and are unwilling to eat elsewhere. But I happened to see you sitting alone at the round table, so I wanted to ask you how many people there are. , If it’s not convenient for you to change tables with me, I was too reckless just now, I really didn’t expect to scare you, I’m really sorry.”
The young man was soft-spoken and very polite, and his apologetic attitude was also very sincere. His repeated apology made Mu Yu feel bad, and he waved his hands and said it was okay. At this time, she also realized that this person was not the person she was waiting for, and did not want to waste time, so she immediately stood up and prepared to give in.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, you are so kind." The other party turned on the thank you mode again and bowed respectfully to Mu Yu at a 90-degree angle. Mu Yu was so shocked that Mu Yu took two steps back and waved his hand again to express that it was okay.
"This really solves my big problem. Thank you very much. I'll help you bring the beef noodles over."
"No, no, no, I'll do it myself." Mu Yu felt that she was just giving up her position and couldn't bear his gratitude, so she felt embarrassed to ask him to serve the noodles for her and hurried forward to serve it herself.
"Then let me bring you the water glass." Before Mu Yu could say anything, the young man had already picked up the water glass and sent it to her.
She quickly took it and said "thank you" at the same time.
"Then I'm going to call my friend over. You can eat slowly." The young man put down his backpack on the round table, took his seat and ran away.
Mu Yu smiled and shook his head, then picked up the cup.
Unexpectedly, before the water reached her mouth, her wrist suddenly hurt. As soon as her hand shook, the cup fell on the table and knocked over. The water in the cup not only spilled all over the table, but also all over her body. She stood up and took pictures in embarrassment. There were small drops of water on his body, while he was looking for the "culprit" with some anger.
"My young lady, are you okay?" Huang Bo ran towards me, fear written on his face.
"Who asked you to show your face to me?!" Mu Yu suddenly became anxious. He covered his wrist and glanced around eagerly with his eyes.
She thought the three men who were having late-night snacks and drinking just looked similar to each other, but they were still spotted by that person, which meant that the person was very clever. Now that Huang Bo appeared again, he would definitely not come out to see her again. .
"Young lady, you didn't drink any water just now, did you?"
Hearing that the tone of Huang Bo's voice had changed, Mu Yu was extremely surprised. She temporarily put aside her blame for him and expressed doubts: "What's wrong with you? What happened?"
"You probably didn't drink any water, right?" He repeated the question while quickly bending down to pick up the "wreck" of the phone on the ground.
"I didn't drink the water. Is this your mobile phone? Did you just hit my hand with your mobile phone?" The surprised Mu Yu realized something was wrong at this time, "There is something wrong with this water?! I brought this from home. Water!"
Huang Bo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that she didn't drink any water. His expression improved instantly. He closed the water bottle with a little water left and then explained to Mu Yu.
"Young lady, the water you brought from home is indeed fine, but there is something wrong with the water in this cup! I just saw the man you were talking to put something into your cup."
"What
! Poison? ! impossible? ! "Mu Yu was extremely surprised.
If that person really poisoned her, then asking friends for supper without rounding up the table would be a lie? But his tone of voice was so sincere and his eyes were so sincere, how could he be this kind of person
With doubts, she quickly walked to the round table and opened the backpack that the young man had left to occupy his seat. When she saw that it was full of old newspapers, she believed Huang Bo's words. She quickly pointed in the direction where the young man left and shouted: " He's running over there! Go chase him!"
"Brothers are already chasing me."
Bian Zijun and Qin Jinhuan also arrived at this time. Qin Jinhuan rushed to Mu Yu, hugged her tightly in his arms, and said nothing for a long time.
Feeling his body trembling slightly, knowing that he must have just seen the young man putting something in her cup, that was why he was so frightened, she quickly hugged him back and kept saying that she was fine and asked him not to Worry.
"Can I not be worried?" He let go of her suddenly and his tone became stern, "I don't even answer my calls! If you dare not answer my calls next time, you won't be able to do forensic work!"
"Why are you so fierce?" He rarely spoke to her in this tone, which made her feel aggrieved inexplicably.
"Young lady, don't blame the boss. You don't know how dangerous what happened today! When he saw the man poisoning your cup, the boss immediately called you and shouted at you not to drink the water while running. But You didn't answer the phone or hear our shouts. If Huang Bo hadn't run quickly and knocked your cup off at the right time, the consequences would have been disastrous!"
"It's really too dangerous! My heart almost jumped out of my throat!" Huang Bo echoed Bian Zijun's words.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry for making you worry." Mu Yu apologized sincerely, "What happened today is all my fault, I..."
"I don't want you to admit your mistakes, I want you to learn to protect yourself! Don't trust others easily!" Seeing that she was safe and sound, Qin Jinhuan was relieved. Although he still meant to blame when he spoke again, his tone was clear Much softer.
"I know, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future." She grabbed his hand and shook it gently, as a sign of submission to him.
Just as he was talking, several people ran over panting.
"Boss, I'm sorry, I didn't catch that person."
"Aren't you chasing him closely? How could you let him run away?!" Qin Jinhuan was very annoyed.
A brother explained in a low voice: "It was dark in the alley over there, so we couldn't see anything clearly. When we found the lighting tool, the man had disappeared."
"Either he has stepped in beforehand, or he is from this area, otherwise he is not so familiar with the environment here."
"Yes, we even fell down when we ran in. It turned out that the alley was being built and there were holes everywhere." The other two boys also whispered in agreement.
"They must have come prepared." Bian Zijun turned to Mu Yu after saying that, "Young Madam, could this person be the person who attacked you last night?"
After Bian Zijun's reminder, Mu Yu suddenly felt that this young man was somewhat close to the image of the person Xin Yihan described, but she couldn't be completely sure. After all, she didn't even see the person's form last night.
"If it was really him, why did he treat me so cruelly twice? I don't know him at all! And I've only been in Huacheng for a few days, so I didn't offend anyone." She struggled with this problem.
At this time, she knew very well that the man had no idea who the murderer of the serial murders was, and he was just here to kill her.
Qin Jinhuan frowned: "You mean he is from Huacheng?"
Mu Yu nodded: "Yes, he just spoke to me. His Mandarin was not very standard, and he obviously had a local accent in Huacheng. By the way, I have his phone number. We can start by checking the phone card."
But just say it
After she finished, she realized the stupidity of her words and continued, "But he certainly wouldn't use his cell phone to send me a message. I guess this card was either picked up or stolen. No wonder he never accepted the call. My phone is there. It turned out that I was afraid that I would recognize his voice and guard against him so that he would not have a chance to attack. "
"We should be able to catch him soon. Let's not talk about this for now and go back first." Qin Jinhuan held her hand with one hand and put his arm around her shoulder with the other. Then he glanced around from time to time and led her towards Lijing. Walk towards the north gate of the home.
When Qin Jinhuan and others arrived, Huang Bo led them to a quiet place to talk. At this time, Bian Zijun left a few people nearby to investigate the young man. He and Huang Bo led other brothers to follow Qin Jinhuan and Mu As Yu walked behind the two of them, he secretly guessed who the person who wanted to hurt Mu Yu twice in a row was.
"Didn't Captain Rong say before that he had clues about the person who attacked me last night?" she asked him on the way.
"Well, we just found a few people who meet the conditions of our guess, but we can't say for sure. We are still investigating. He has shown his face tonight, and we should be able to find him out soon."
"Why do you think he did this to me? Who or what does it have to do with?"
Qin Jinhuan was silent for a few seconds before answering: "It should be related to someone in Ancheng."
Mu Yu nodded: "He must have been bribed by someone from Ancheng to deal with me specifically."
Huang Bo somewhat disagreed with their words: "I suspect that the young lady has been investigating Qian Daqing's past, which caused panic among Qian Daqing's former subordinates. They were afraid that getting to the bottom of the matter would be traced to them. In order to shirk legal responsibility, they hired murderers to deal with the young lady. It’s not a bad idea to try to force her back to Ancheng. After all, drug addicts will do anything to raise drug funds. Of course, it is not impossible that this tall and thin man is one of Qian Daqing’s men.”
"No." Mu Yu retorted, "We came to Huacheng in the name of investigating Qian Daqing's case, and we did not tell others that there were three other murder cases of the same nature as his, but this one sent me the message The person lured me out by using the bait of knowing the real culprit of the serial murders. In other words, he knew that Qian Daqing's case was one of the four murders that happened in Anseong. The people of Huacheng should know that it shocked the whole country. There are serial murder cases in Ancheng, but they probably don’t know that Qian Daqing’s case is one of them, because Qian Daqing’s identity was published online as Qian Dacheng.”
"Oh." Huang Bo said nothing more.
When they approached Mu Yu and Cheng Xiang's home, Huang Bo, Bian Zijun and others did not follow them. Only Cheng Xiang and Mu Yu Qin Jinhuan returned to the house.
Xin Yihan was video chatting with Yin Xiaotian in the second bedroom. When he heard the noise, he hurried out and looked at Mu Yu with questioning eyes.
"He was a liar. He wanted to take advantage of our eagerness to solve the case to defraud some money, but Cheng Xiang and the others beat him up." Mu Yu lied to Xin Yihan with a relaxed look.
"There are still people like this? They should be beaten." Seeing that nothing happened to them, Xin Yihan was obviously relieved. After a few words of greeting, Qin Jinhuan took Mu Yu back to the room on the grounds that Xin Yihan wanted to rest, and then Xin Yihan also After returning to the room, Cheng Xiang was left sleeping alone in the living room.
"Honey, you are so good at being a forensic doctor! You were able to see that a fish weighing more than four pounds was missing a piece, and you even put the fish skeleton back together. Wasn't the boss green-faced at that time?" In the end, what happened between the two of them? There was no formal reconciliation, so even if Mu Yu did something wrong tonight, Qin Jinhuan still picked up good words to praise her.
"I'm not green-faced, I'm dumbfounded." Thinking of that scene, Mu Yu couldn't help but laugh, and corrected him at the right time, "But it wasn't me who saw that the fish was missing, it was Brother Yihan who saw It came out. At that time, I didn’t believe what he said. It wasn’t until he quietly showed me the two pieces of the fish’s spine that I realized that a big piece was missing in the middle.”
"How does he still understand this?" Qin Jinhuan was surprised, "Isn't this the specialty of forensic medicine?"
