Listen to the fire

"I brought food." Yi Suone bent down, opened the backpack at his feet, took out a piece of bread and a box of milk from it, and handed them to Yi Suone.

"This... You prepared this for yourself, right? You gave it to me, what do you eat?" Ji Cheng looked at the milk and bread that Yi Suone handed over, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

Yi Suone stuffed milk and bread into Ji Cheng's arms: "Eat first, and then go eat after I finish painting here."

Looking into the clear lake-like eyes, Ji Cheng reached out his hands to take the milk and bread that Yi Suone handed over.

"Hurry up, I'm going to continue painting." Yi Song turned his face, dipped the paint in the palette with a brush, and continued to paint.

Ji Cheng tore open the packaging bag and took a bite. This bread was filled with butter. Ji Cheng didn't like butter, but this bread was not greasy at all and tasted very good.

"This bread is delicious." Ji Cheng sighed, and did not forget to look down at the bag of the bread. It was a light blue package with "Ruolin Bread" written on it.

"Well, I bought it at the pedestrian street near my neighborhood, and the taste is very good." Yi Su said with a smile.

Ji Cheng nodded, took another bite of bread, and said vaguely, "I'll treat you to dinner when you finish painting."

"Okay, it's just..." Yi Suone agreed, but there was a bit of difficulty between his brows.

"Just what?" Ji Cheng asked with some doubts.

Yi Suone looked at the gouache painting in front of him, and shook his head dissatisfied: "I have finished painting the scenery below the tunnel, but I don't know what color to paint the sky above the tunnel."

"The sky, isn't it blue?" Ji Cheng said, taking a sip of milk.

"When the sky is painted blue, the picture is sunny, and if the sky is gray, the picture is sad, but I don't want these two feelings, I want a special and unique feeling." Yi Su Then he said.

Biting the straw, Ji Cheng took a closer look at Yi Su's painting. The tunnel he drew was very realistic, and there was a black car at the exit. Ji Cheng suddenly remembered the scene where he was chasing the suspect's car in the tunnel before. .

"Tell me, if the sky is painted light red, and the exit of the tunnel is the entrance of another world, would it be nice to add this fantasy feeling?" Ji Cheng looked at Yi Su's painting and said suddenly.

"Ah! You can think about it, this feeling is the intertwining of reality and fairy tales!" Yi Song smiled when he heard what Ji Cheng said.

Ji Cheng looked at Yi Suone's smiling face that was so clear that there was no trace of impurity, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Reality and fairy tales, is it really a fairy tale?

Even if all of this is a fairy tale, it is also a dark.dark.fairytale.

At this time, Yi Suone had already taken out the red and white paints, squeezed them into his palette, dipped the paintbrush in water, and quickly mixed the two colors of paints together.

Ji Cheng was on the side, silently watching Yi Suone smear the light red paint on the drawing paper little by little.

I have to say that Yi Suone’s paintings are really beautiful. After the light red sky was drawn, Yi Suone added a little light pink mist at the entrance of the cave, which made the whole painting more dreamy. .

"Okay, it's done!" Yi Song looked at the painting in front of him and withdrew his hand in satisfaction.

"It's beautiful! It's very beautiful!" Ji Cheng gave Yi Suone a thumbs up.

Yi Suone put away his paintbrush, turned his head and smiled at Ji Cheng: "Thank you for your idea, I think it's great!"

"Hahaha," Ji Cheng smiled a little embarrassedly, "Shall we go eat after you finish painting?"

"Okay, this side is more remote, let's take the bus and go back to the city to eat." Yi Song said, squatting down and starting to pack paints and palettes.

Ji Cheng also knelt down and cleaned up with him.

After the two packed up, they went to the bus station and took a car back to the urban area of ​​Yuanshi. Because Yi Suone said that there was a restaurant with duck blood vermicelli that was particularly delicious, he took Ji Cheng there.

"Little Molu, didn't you just transfer to our school? You are very familiar with Yuanshi!" After eating and drinking, Ji Cheng leaned back in his chair with satisfaction.

"I came here to learn painting during my summer vacation, and I ate a lot of food here." Yi Song said with a smile.

Ji Cheng nodded: "Then where were you from before?"

"Not far, R City, it's quite close to Yuan City." Yi Suone said, taking a sip of the soup with a spoon.

"Then why did you transfer here?" Ji Cheng was a little surprised.

"My parents are doing business here, so I came here." Yi Su said with a smile.

Ji Cheng responded, "That's it..."

While the two were talking, the phone in Ji Cheng's pocket vibrated violently.

Ji Cheng took out his phone and looked at it, but he didn't expect that it was Xu Weichen calling.

"Hello? Officer Xu?" Ji Cheng asked tentatively after answering the phone.

"It's me," Xu Weichen's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Li Zhengxin's confession has been released, we just want you to come over and confirm."

Li Zhengxin's confession.

In the past few days, they should have detected the results...

After a few seconds of silence, Ji Cheng continued, "Okay, then I'll come to the police station."

"And the classmate who was with you last time, his name is Yi Suone, right? He is also an eyewitness. You can ask him to come with you."

"Well, he..." Ji Cheng raised his head and glanced at Yi Suone who was opposite him, "He's with me, we'll come over right away."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Suone looked at Ji Cheng and asked, "Yes... did something happen?"

"No, Li Zhengxin's confession came out, and he told us to go and have a look." Ji Cheng said.

Yi Suone nodded and put down the spoon in his hand: "I'm done eating, we can go there."

"Okay!" Ji Cheng replied, and got up to pay the bill.

At the entrance of the two-way police station, Xu Weichen was leaning against a pillar smoking a cigarette. Seeing Ji Cheng and Yi Suone approaching, he quickly extinguished the cigarette in his hand and threw the cigarette butt into the trash can next to him.

"Come here?" Xu Weichen came over and greeted Ji Cheng and Yi Suone.

"Officer Xu." Ji Cheng and Yi Song also greeted Xu Weichen politely.

"Let's go in and talk." Xu Weichen said, leading the two of them inside.

After entering the police station, Xu Weichen led Ji Cheng and Yi Suone into their team. Ji Cheng looked at the badges on the necks of the other police officers under Xu Weichen, and realized that Xu Weichen was also in the ninth team.

Group Nine.

Looking at the tags on their necks, Ji Cheng suddenly missed his teammates.

"Sit down." Xu Weichen asked his team to bring two chairs, and let Ji Cheng and Yi Suone sit down.

"Ji Cheng, your home is in the old community, and there is no surveillance. There is indeed no evidence that he attacked you the first night, but the next night, we went to the Children's Palace to check the surveillance. As you said, Li Zhengxin left in the middle of the night shift. After passing through the Children's Palace, after you and Yi Song left the security room one day later, he did follow you into the alley."

As Xu Weichen said, he clicked on a video on the computer, which was the monitoring of the Children's Palace. It showed the back of him and Yi Suone leaving the Children's Palace together. They went out less than a minute before Li Zhengxin came out of the security room and followed him. behind them.

"In addition to the text message evidence in Li Zhengxin's mobile phone, we interrogated Li Zhengxin. Li Zhengxin admitted that he did something to you, but he said that the mysterious person just hired him to kill you, and he didn't say the reason, and we checked the number. It was a one-time phone card. , I can't find anyone anymore, but we will definitely continue to investigate." Xu Weichen continued.

"Since it's a murder for hire, there should be a remittance record in Li Zhengxin's account, right?" Ji Cheng turned his face and suddenly said.

When Ji Cheng said this, Xu Weichen was stunned. At this moment, Ji Cheng's eyes had a sharp and calm light, and his expression didn't look like a person his age at all.

"The person who gave Li Zhengxin the money was very smart, and he gave it in cash. However, we saw a deposit of 20 yuan in Li Zhengxin's account. This is not wealth that he can have as a security guard, so we thought, this money It should be an easy income."

"What did Li Zhengxin do before? His skills are pretty good." Ji Cheng continued to ask.

Xu Weichen frowned: "According to the data, Li Zhengxin is an older bachelor. He started working in the society after graduating from junior high school. He traveled to many cities. He must have suffered a lot. It is difficult to get along outside, and it is normal to be able to play."

"Oh..." Ji Cheng nodded.

That day, when he fought against Li Zhengxin, Ji Cheng knew that Li Zhengxin had clearly learned martial arts, and it was impossible for a migrant worker to have that kind of skill.

Li Zhengxin should not be the Li Zhengxin of this world, he has already been replaced.

"Ji Cheng?" Seeing Ji Cheng's pensive look, Xu Weichen couldn't help calling him.

Only then did Ji Cheng come to his senses, and smiled at Xu Weichen: "Ahahaha, it's okay, I just watched too much Detective Conan recently, and I think I can solve the case too..."

Xu Weichen: "..."

Listening to what Ji Cheng said, Yi Suone's lips turned up slightly, but Ji Cheng didn't notice.

"Li Zhengxin's confession is like this, but the truth may not be like this. You were attacked by him before and forgot what happened before, which may be the key to this case. We invite you here today. In addition to wanting you to read Li Zhengxin's confession, we also want to Let you chat with Li Zhengxin." Xu Weichen raised his head, looked at Ji Cheng and then spoke.

When Ji Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little happy. This was exactly the result he wanted, and he also wanted to talk to Li Zhengxin alone.

"Officer Xu wants me to chat with him, to see if I can get something out of him?" Ji Cheng asked.

"He's a smart boy." Xu Weichen nodded.

After hearing this, Ji Cheng quickly stood up from the stool: "In this case, let's go there quickly."

Xu Weichen was taken aback, he didn't expect Ji Cheng to have no fear at all when facing someone who wanted to kill him, and he was so excited.

Looking at Xu Weichen's expression, Ji Cheng realized that his performance might be a bit exaggerated, so he said with a smile: "Yi Suone is going to sketch again, I just want to settle the matter quickly."

Xu Weichen turned his face and glanced at Yi Suone who was sitting behind him. There was indeed a folded easel and drawing board next to his stool.

"Then Yi Suone will wait here for a while, Ji Cheng, come with me." Xu Weichen said, and walked forward.

Ji Cheng turned his face and blinked at Yi Suone, then quickly followed Xu Weichen in.

Yi Suone looked at Ji Cheng's back, a faint light shone in his black pupils, and there was still a gentle smile on the corner of his lips.

Ji Cheng followed Xu Weichen all the way to the door of the interrogation room. When Xu Weichen was about to open the door to enter, Ji Cheng reached out and grabbed Xu Weichen: "Officer Xu, I'd better go in alone."

"?" Xu Weichen's hand holding the doorknob froze immediately.

"Didn't I come to talk to him? If you were here, he would definitely not want to say anything." Ji Cheng continued.

After hearing Ji Cheng's words, Xu Weichen's hand slowly dropped.

"You... do you know how to say it?" Xu Weichen looked at Ji Cheng in disbelief.

"Of course, I'm the ultimate fan of Conan and Sherlock Holmes, maybe you can call me Holmes Cheng!" Ji Cheng smiled.

Xu Weichen laughed at Ji Cheng's words: "Okay, then just call me if you have any questions."

"OK!" Ji Cheng responded, then pushed open the door and went in.

Xu Weichen watched Ji Cheng's back disappear at the door of the interrogation room, he raised his brows lightly, this Ji Cheng still looked terrified when he was attacked last time, it's a bit strange...

When Ji Cheng opened the door and entered the interrogation room, Li Zhengxin, who was sitting at the table, was still hanging his head. When he saw that it was Ji Cheng who came in, he raised his head.

"Are you excited to see me?" Ji Cheng said, and sat down opposite Li Zhengxin.
