sincerity of lies

The closed study door was suddenly opened, and Foss, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching Ji Xun's plan for his trip to Qinshi, took two puffs of a cigarette, feeling a black shadow passing by his side like the wind.

When he raised his head belatedly, he heard a "bang" when the door closed, and someone went out.

Is it Officer Huo who just came?Why did you leave in such a hurry?

Foss was surprised for a moment, then looked at the time, only to realize that it was nine o'clock in the evening before he knew it!

Even if he came to urge the author to submit his manuscript, it would be exaggerated to stay in the author's house for so long. Fortunately, the itinerary to Qinshi was almost finalized, so he quickly picked up the schedule and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in." Ji Xun's voice came from inside.

He pushed the door open and went in, but he didn't see Ji Xun for a while, and when he took a closer look, he saw the owner of the house with his arms folded and his shoulders leaning against the window through the gap between the dark green curtains.

"The itinerary for Qin City has been properly arranged," Foss said.

"Thank you, actually there is no need to be so anxious." Ji Xun said.

"No, it's better to confirm it sooner." Foss is not sensitive to the procrastination, he came here today to finalize everything, "Please check if there is any problem with the hotel and itinerary."

Ji Xun takes a look at the paper, packs his luggage tomorrow, and goes out the day after tomorrow. He is expected to stay in Qinshi for three days. The whole journey will be in a five-star hotel, one day will be a signing event at Huiyou Bookstore; one day will be a lecture at Qinjiang University; You can visit Qinshi.

"I have no problem here." Ji Xun returned the itinerary to Foss, "Do you need to book a five-star hotel?"

"The foundation gave a lot of money, so the itinerary was arranged preferentially." Foss said.

"Did the founder of the foundation ask to meet me?" Ji Xun asked suddenly.

"Not really." In fact, this matter is somewhat strange. After spending such a large amount of money for the author, it is reasonable to ask for some reasonable requests, such as meeting the author, having a meal, etc. However, these One should not, the founder has always been hidden behind the scenes, only responsible for giving money, it seems that he is dedicated to charity without expecting anything in return.

Fosse wanted to talk to Ji Xun about the weirdness of the Foundation, but after the words just now, the person leaning against the window stopped talking and just looked at the night scene outside the window.

He also dismissed the idea.

The world is so big, how many people with money, leisure and eccentricities are still emerging?

"Then I'll send your editor-in-chief to go with you all the way." Foss marked the end of the conversation tonight. Before he left, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, why did Officer Huo leave in such a hurry just now? Is there another case?"

Not a case.

There is no case.

If they stayed any longer, the two of them couldn't help wiping their guns and misfired, so they had to leave first to let the boiling flames in their respective bodies cool down.The two of them rolled into the flames and burned each other. It didn't hurt each other, but it wouldn't be beautiful if they splashed passers-by.

What's more, it's not that time yet.

Huo Ranyin left, and Foss also left.Ji Xun was left alone in the house again.

Ji Xun folded his arms and leaned against the window.There was no light in the room, and the night outside the window was brightly lit up with neon lights. He saw the landscape trees in the community. The trees that had withered all winter did not know when to grow a few young leaves. The small leaves were delicate in the evening wind. Swing gently, shaking out a few wisps of spring breath.

This busy winter is finally coming to an end.

Let's go to Qinshi.

Ji Xun thought about it.

When he is in the city where Huo Ranyin lived in the past, and when he finds some clues, what he touches is no longer Huo Ranyin's whitewashed body, but also the most authentic soul hidden in the body.

It doesn't take much effort to prepare for the next day, and the travel boxes are finished. In modern society, as long as you carry your ID and mobile phone with you, everything is easy to talk about.

After packing up, I made an appointment with the editor in charge to meet at the high-speed railway station tomorrow, and then left a message to Huo Ranyin saying that I would go out for three days starting tomorrow, and all the preparations that should be done were also done.

Ji Xun looked around the room, thinking about moving, and at night, he went to the Raccoon Bar, which he hadn't been to for a long time.

The bar opened early, and the people who had been holding back for the whole New Year's Eve swayed wantonly amidst the red lights and green wine. Ji Xun once again sat in his familiar position in the past, picked up the familiar drumsticks, and played a round of drums heartily.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but after playing the drums this time, Ji Xun didn't feel the burnout and trance that seemed to exhaust his physical strength when he came here years ago. He was still tired, but it was more of a comfortable and relaxed tiredness after venting.

wonderful.

Did running up and down with Huo Ranyin in the past few days actually exercised his body?

Ji Xun thought about it, and walked down from the stage. One year passed, and the people in the bar changed again. He smoothly squeezed out from the crowd who didn't care about him, and squeezed to the front of the bar.

Jenny is still there, this little student face has been promoted in a short period of time, from the original waiter to the bartender, standing behind the bar and winking at himself.

Ji Xun sat in front of Jenny.

A glass of cocktail is brought to you. This glass of cocktail is somewhat interesting. The bottom of the glass should be Coke. In the dark liquid, tiny air bubbles are hidden in it, rising one by one; while the bubbles are rising, the liquid in the glass is gradually The layers are lightened until the very top fades completely from black and becomes transparent.

This ray of transparent color is like a halo, covering the glass of wine that changes from dark to light, from black to white.

"This is my new cocktail," Jenny said with a grin. "I want to call it 'New Life'. What do you think?"

"It looks good." Ji Xun took a look, "But I didn't order it."

Jenny: "I gave it to you."

Ji Xun picked up the cup and shook it, took a sip, the taste was okay, a bit spicy, maybe just like life, any change, no matter good or bad, has a spicy smell: "What good thing happened today that made you so generous?"

"It's a good thing to see you." Jenny, "Besides, I feel that today you are different from the past, and you are much more energetic."

"what……"

"Why, do you want to deny it?"

"There is no need to deny it." Ji Xun admitted frankly, "I also feel that my spirit has improved recently. It seems that I reined in the precipice and took a step back from the brink of sudden death."

"But it's still a bit of a pity." Jenny showed regret again, "When you are in good spirits, the destructive attraction is gone, haven't you noticed? You have been here for so long today, and no woman has come to look for you Need a phone number."

"...No need." Ji Xun said.

What does a GAY want to be so feminine?Besides, it may not be because he has no sense of destruction, so he is unattractive. Couldn't it be that other people smell the smell of a famous grass with a master?

The two of them had just finished speaking when the seat next door moved. A slim and graceful woman sat over, put her handbag on the table, and looked at Ji Xun sideways.

Jenny stopped talking immediately, he didn't feel the embarrassment of being slapped in the face when he published his conclusion, but he immediately beamed and winked at Ji Xunkuang. It can be seen that although it has been a year, his enthusiasm for being a matchmaker has not retreated in the slightest.

Ji Xun felt bored for a moment, and then noticed that the eyes of the people next door were still glued to his face.

He turned his face away, thinking of a reason for refusal that would not cause embarrassment to both parties... Then, when he saw the woman next to him clearly, his eyes froze, he swallowed back the words that were in his mouth, and raised his eyebrows .

Sitting opposite him was an acquaintance.

It's Sisi.

"I, I have something to look for you." Sisi is wearing a white skirt today, with black hair, very light makeup, not even lipstick, almost plain face, only a little red at the end of her eyes, as if crying After rubbing and swollen, she is timid.When she peeked at Ji Xun, the end of her eyes was particularly obvious, "Can you give me a little time? It's a very important thing, yes, it's because you came to me last time..."

The last sentence was very light and small. When Si Si spoke, she looked around anxiously, as if she was afraid of being discovered by someone. Of course, her hand also grabbed the hem of Ji Xun's clothes, and she only dared to hold it a little bit. , it seems that this little bit gave her unusual courage.

In all honesty, it is not ugly at all, and today's dress is also appropriate, soft and weak, safe and harmless, which can most arouse men's desire for protection.

However, she is not very lucky today.

Ji Xun is not only GAY, but also a sober GAY, and even a sober ex-cop, current detective, GAY.

He looked at Sisi strangely, and three words flashed in his mind:

Beauties.

Another six words flashed:

A yellow-haired beauty trap.

"Is it okay?" Sisi felt a little uneasy when Ji Xun watched, and couldn't help moving on the bar stool.

"Yes." Ji Xun agreed.

With his hands behind his back, he touched the phone, clicked on the interface, and sent a message to Huo Ranyin in the form of blind typing.

Before they had time to find trouble with the suspect, the suspect was self-conscious and sent it to his door for nothing.

Naturally, the inside should be combined with the outside, and the doors and windows should be closed to prevent the cooked duck from flying away.

At the same time, Huo Ranyin was taking people from the police force outside to eat hot pot. The case was over, no matter what, it was time to celebrate. In addition to eating hot pot today, they also discussed going to sing K later.

Tan Mingjiu drank some wine, and his voice became louder. He wanted to call Ji Xun, dig him out of the house, and let Ji Xun come over to celebrate together. He couldn't let him stay in the room alone and get moldy.

Huo Ranyin didn't say anything.

He didn't speak, but the other people at the table understood his meaning to some extent. Those who persuaded the wine to persuade them to drink, and those who talked, uncovered this section. The hot pot was emitting white smoke, and the white smoke shuttled among the crowd, dividing the crowd.

Huo Ranyin leaned back on the chair leisurely.

He knew that these people were guessing whether he and Ji Xun had a conflict...it wasn't.

Huo Ranyin thought to himself, Ji Xun will go out to work tomorrow, so prepare well at home today and write more, isn't it good? The follow-up of "Poisoned Fruit" seems to have been postponed because of myself, so I can't push it again and again, and I don't know when the case will appear next. Write more in your free time.

He thought about it grandly, and finally, he took a look at Yuan Yue.

Then, he turned on his phone and checked WeChat.

On WeChat, the last conversation he had with Ji Xun was in the afternoon.

He put his phone back in his pocket and continued to eat hot pot.

Ji Xun has dragged Sisi around the bar for an hour.

During this hour, he searched for topics to chat over and over again, and he almost ran out of words.

what happened.He secretly wondered.Originally thought that Huo Ranyin should give him a signal for at most 20 minutes, and tacitly agree with him on the next move, but ended up going back and forth, waiting three times for 20 minutes, and Huo Ranyin didn't make any movement... There was no movement in the bar... No plainclothes came in.

"...Excuse me, I'm going to the bathroom." Ji Xun said directly to Sisi.

He left behind Sisi who seemed to want to say something, and walked quickly to the restroom of the bar. There was a wooden door outside the men's restroom, and there was a couple of lovers at the door. He pushed open the wooden door and walked in. It was empty inside, urinating Chi didn't see anyone, only the toilet door was ajar. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Huo Ranyin's number directly.

As soon as I heard a "beep—" beside my ear, a gust of wind hit me in the back of my head.

Ji Xun became alert, and he glanced to the side, and out of the corner of his eye, he immediately saw a baseball bat slammed down from behind him!

He immediately turned around and saw one, two, three...a person coming out from behind the closed door, he immediately turned his head and was about to rush out, but when the wooden door of the toilet opened, the man from the couple who had been outside just now came in , blocked the door, and showed a sharp knife.

Ji Xun immediately turned his eyes away.

He calmed down for a while, no loser, no loser:

"...Brothers, have you spent a lot of time in the toilet? You really worked hard to stop me."

However, the other party didn't talk nonsense with him at all, picked up the knife and stabbed him straight.

The sharp tip of the knife is like a cross silver star, and the light of the silver star is getting closer and brighter in his eyes, until it explodes into a blinding white light.
