sincerity of lies

When Huo Ranyin woke up, there was no sign of Ji Xun in the room.But there was an extra message on the phone, it was from Ji Xun.

At 07:45, Ji Xun texted him: "I'm getting in the car."

He stared at the screen for two seconds, got up, and made himself a breakfast of bacon, fried eggs and cereal in the morning.

After finishing a hearty breakfast, we went to the police station. The time was just right.

The job of criminal police is extremely busy when it is busy, and when it is free, it can also live a life of wolfberry thermos cups and newspaper massage mats.But why do what you can do at the age of 80.If you have nothing to do, you might as well find something for yourself.

He dug out the unsolved past files piled in the cabinet. There were so many files that he would be overwhelmed by piles. He picked out the recent ones and put them on the desk. A more promising case.

When I was reading the file, I kept my phone beside me, and I was also careful not to contact him suddenly in case of emergency.

But today it's not just him, even the one next door is calm, the years are quiet, and I can find a corner to squat and grow mushrooms when I'm free.

At this time, the mobile phone screen that flashes from time to time is more attractive.

At 10:50, Ji Xun sent another message: "I got off the bus."

He is so free today.Huo Ranyin thought.Small things like getting in and out of the car will send messages.However, the tone at the end has changed. Is your interest higher when you get in the car than when you get off?

After reading the page of the case file at hand, he couldn't help but raise his eyes, look out the window, and change his eyes.

The sun was shining brightly outside the window.

Over there in Qinshi, it should be the same kind of bright sunshine, right?

After eleven o'clock in the morning, and a little more than an hour later, it was lunch time, and then it was lunch break. When the lunch break was about to end, his mobile phone turned on again, and it was still Ji Xun. This time Ji Xun sent a picture .

Is Ji Xun going to contract his mobile phone message today?

Huo Ranyin thought critically, but his fingers had already opened the screen, clicked into WeChat, and looked at the picture that was not directly displayed in the status bar.

The photo is taken from the interior of a school, and the landmark of Qinshi - the Drum Tower - can be seen from a distance.

He looked at this photo. On the school gate in the photo, "Qinjiang International Middle School" was written.

No.

This place was not called Qinjiang International High School in the past, this place used to be called...

"This is my signing location this time."

More news jumped out of the chat box, and Ji Xun said to him:

"Qinjiang International Middle School merged with the Qinjiang High School next door. I took a rough look around and felt that it was almost a place for an ordinary university. There are three years of junior high school and three years of high school here. If you have good grades in the school, you can still get admission Qinmen University, speaking of it, I went to Qinmen University once when I was in college..."

You have not only been to Qinmen University, you have also been to the High School Attached to Qin University.

Huo Ranyin looked at the phone and muttered in his heart.

Qin City.

The city where he was born, grew up, and left.Gave him many things including cities of infinite confusion.

High School Attached to Qin University.

The school he studied in allowed him to meet Ji Xun's school.

"Grumpy Grumpy"

The sudden sound woke up Huo Ranyin. Huo Ranyin raised his eyes and saw that Wen Yangyang was collecting water in front of the mineral water bucket in the police station with a cup.A series of fish-eye bubbles rose in the water. He stared at the series of illusory bubbles that were born and died, and remembered the poisoning case that happened in Class E of the second grade of high school that year.

But that terrifying poisoning case was just the tip of the iceberg of everything that happened that year...

"kill him."

Every day, these three words would be written on Zhou Zhaonan's homework paper, and then torn off.

First tear the A5-sized homework paper into thin strips, then tear each strip into the size of a snowflake, then close the snowflakes, mess them up, and sprinkle them into the trash can, so that even the gods can't recover this piece of paper.

I can't get a glimpse of the secrets in my heart.

Huo Ranyin is a student in Class A of the second year of Qin University High School, and I am a student in Class E of the second year of high school.

In the second year of high school attached to Qin University, there are [-] classes in total, including [-] science classes. Class A is the top class, and Class E is the poor class. His academic performance is not very good, but he can still keep up in the top class. , and tall and strong, with an outgoing personality, he has many friends in school, and these friends are clustered around him like his dog legs.

Every time they meet each other in physical education class or after school, booing and laughing, throwing fruit peels and cans, and even pushing and chasing them in the name of "joke" are their entertainment.

His friends are indispensable in class E. Things that don’t belong to me always appear in my desk from time to time, sometimes insect corpses, and sometimes some disgusting slime.

Even if I escaped all this, when I got home, I still had to face Huo Ranyin.

I live under the same roof as him.

A room with three rooms and two halls.

He lived in a south-facing sunshine room with an area of ​​fifteen square meters, and I lived in a utility room facing north with an area of ​​about seven square meters and a large space occupied by various cabinets.

A small desk on a bed is where I study and do my homework. Outsiders feel cramped just by looking at it, but on the other hand, it is compact and safe.

I had a good relationship with him in junior high school.He can't see that he likes me, but he won't bully me either. Whenever he wants to call me, he just calls out "Hi", and he can't call me twice a day. He didn't start doing these things until he was in high school.

Or maybe they know it and pretend they don't.Adults have a kind of hypocritical decency, they like to see things, even if they can't see them, they will whitewash the appearance of existence; they don't like to see things, even if they are in front of them, they are still invisible.

Some children also have this kind of hypocrisy, but it is not as well-trained as adults, it seems like instinct.

The idea of ​​killing him started brewing at the end of the first year of high school.Of course, maybe the murderous intent burst out on the first day I was bullied, but I also hypocritically covered it up, patiently waiting for it to disappear.A whole year passed, and my hypocrisy was torn apart by the killing intent when I realized I would have to endure the same next year.

My weak cover melted away, and it clearly told me that it was in my chest, just like a beast needs blood to feed its stomach, it needs Huo Ranyin's life as a sacrifice.

Huo Ranyin couldn't rest for a moment.Almost every day during the summer vacation, he would go out to play with his friends.

He likes to ride a mountain bike very wildly. He even tried to ride on the stairs. Every time I saw him riding on the stairs, I always imagined that he would fall, but he never fell.

It wasn't hard to get him to fall.

All it takes is a little danger to break the brakes without anyone noticing, a stroke of Goddess luck... a resignation to fate.

It didn't fit my fancy, so I rejected the proposal.

He also lied to his parents to go to school for tutoring, but in fact he went to Internet cafes to play games with his friends, until eleven or twelve o'clock at the latest.At this time, he will take a shortcut and come back. It is a demolition area where all the residents have been relocated.No one, no cameras.There has been more than one robbery there.

Then another murder seems to be justified.

In the dark, maybe I will cover his mouth with my hand and cut his throat. The blood spurts from the throat, like an open scarlet wing.

But there are also unpredictable signs of fighting and killing. I chose several ambush points and escape routes afterwards, and gave up.

Then the aimless summer vacation passed.

Not long after the start of the second semester of high school, the school arranged an anti-drug publicity campaign. Photos of drug addicts with festered bodies, amputated limbs, and drug addicts paralyzed like lumps of rotten flesh on stained beds were placed at the entrance of the school for less than half a month.

I go in and out every day, watch every day.One weekend, I went to the drug rehabilitation center in Qinshi.

I don't have much pocket money.

The detoxification center is an hour's drive from the house where I live and from the middle school attached to Qin University.

I took the bus at [-]:[-] am on weekends, read in the bookstore on the way out of the drug rehabilitation center, and waited until [-]:[-] pm, then took the bus back to the house where I was resting.

By this time everyone in the house had already had their supper.

Sometimes my meal is left, sometimes not.When there is no food, the aunt sitting on the sofa watching TV sometimes shouts "Have you eaten yet? Take five dollars in the drawer and buy bread", sometimes she doesn't.

I want to see five dollars.

In this way, there will be money for the car ride next weekend.

I went to the bookstore to read three times, and I chose a car that always picks up people.

It's ridiculous to say that most of the drug addicts left the door of the drug rehabilitation center and were dragged by the old buddies in the car to relapse.

I followed the car again, tracked down the house rented by the owner and the places he frequented, and touched the Internet cafe where they traded drugs.The boss saw that I couldn't show my ID card, but he was very attentive.

People who sell goods are not always there. Now that the Internet is gradually becoming popular, they have a secret code, as long as they give specific instructions in the game, they will trade goods.

It only took me three times to figure out the transaction process, and then I went home and began to think about how to poison Huo Ranyin.

There are so many opportunities.

I live under the same roof as him, and there are flaws everywhere.

He drank a bottle of goat's milk every day.He is the only one who drinks goat milk in the house, and every bottle of goat milk that is frozen in the refrigerator is prepared for him, and he does not often drink the milk in one go, sometimes he drinks half a bottle in the morning and throws it into the refrigerator , drink the rest of the night.

At this time, the bottle was also opened. Goat's milk, a dairy product with a strong taste, can't be drunk even if some drugs are added to it, right?

I've heard that people who have just been exposed to drugs have physical intolerance and some physiological reactions.

But I won't put more, just put a little at a time, plus the 1.2-meter-large desk in his room is always a mess, and I can't find the big and personalized character of my homework, even if there are some physical problems. Discomfort, and don't care.

Such a subtle influence, by the time he reacts, he may have already become addicted to drugs.

Let him become addicted to drugs, let him have a drug addiction attack during the exam, fail in the exam, and ruin his entire life in the exam, maybe this will cause him more pain than killing him.

After all, he is so proud, so arrogant, ridiculously fragile pride and arrogance.

But this does not seem to be good. Although people who are addicted to drugs do not know where the drugs are placed, they know what to drink to relieve their addiction.Huo Ran would subconsciously look for goat milk when he had a drug addiction, and with such a special point, the police could find me in no time.

So you still have to find a popular one.

Perhaps it would be better to bathe in mineral water.He drinks water every day when he plays basketball, as long as he sneaks up to him and pours poison into a plastic bottle at that time, it will be fine. There are so many people coming and going in the school that it is difficult to find me.

Killing people is really simple, much simpler than I imagined.

It's as simple as eating and drinking, and you can do it with your hands. It's as simple as reading the first half of the question stem, and you can write down the basic questions of the answer by hand.

It is even more difficult to suppress the desire to kill; it takes an extra process to answer correctly and well on papers, but to answer wrongly.

So simple it's even scary.

I got into the habit of biting my nails.

My fingernails were bitten by me, and I could see blood from time to time, and no one cared when I saw blood, and no one would ask me a question, so I only had one trouble, writing papers like this, and even when writing murderous words , There is always blood stained on the paper.

Disgusting.

Dirty blood, like dirty thoughts, smeared on the white paper with a strong smell.Every drop is the manifestation of my killing intent, every drop is ferocious like a beast in my chest.

Maybe the one who should be killed is not Huo Ranyin, but me.Dirty me.

I started trying to expect myself to be the victim.But when someone comes to kill me, am I really the ultimate victim?

I have unreasonable self-confidence.

Maybe not without reason.

As long as I am willing, there are too many lambs beside me who do not know how to avoid them.Huo Ranyin was just a bigger sheep.

But no one came to kill me, but every time I was ridiculed, made fun of, and dumped the garbage in front of me, I watched the ignorant sheep bleating and laughing there, and the new white paper was stained with dirty handwriting and blood.

Irritability and pain.

Can answer correctly but deliberately answer wrong.

It goes round and round, a vicious circle that cannot be circumvented.

……

Later, someone stole my plans.

TA poisoned the water dispenser.

Chapter [-] Boys know a lot more than girls think.They pretended not to understand, but it was in their best interests not to understand.

Maybe it wasn't all about stealing, it was TA and I who came up with the same plan.

The first anomaly was found in the desk.

The desks in school are reversible. After years of use, the lid of my desk has become a little crooked. I clamped a small piece of paper scraps on the edge of the wooden lid. As long as the lid is opened, the scraps of paper will fall to the ground. Of course, as long as the confetti is clipped back intact, I won't know that someone has made a small move.But people who mess with my table often don't pay attention to this detail, and even if they do, they don't care.

Today is no exception.

I put down my schoolbag, glanced at the disappearing scraps of paper, and opened the table.

To my surprise, there was no rubbish, no dead insects, nothing in the table except the textbooks I put in it.

Someone moved my desk without putting anything in it?

After this accident, during the lunch break in the class, there was a burst of yelling.

"The water is going to run out, go to the water room to get water!"

The one who was shouting was Jiang Jie, the representative of the physical education class in the class. She had long hands and long legs, short hair, a short temper, and a somewhat masculine appearance, but her family background was very good. One of Dying's admirers.

It's just because of her appearance, although she usually yells and drinks in the class, she is always shy and inferior to Huo Ranyin, and dare not tell Huo Ranyin her feelings, so she pretends to be a brother and friend by Huo Ranyin's side, cooking People who Huo Ranyin doesn't like - like me - teach any girls who dare to approach Huo Ranyin.

Now they are in the second year of high school. At the beginning of the new school year, a girl in the first year of high school got close to Huo Ranyin and watched two movies together. She took her dog legs and ran directly to the high school. Once there, call the girl out of the classroom and ask her to slap herself.

The girl slapped herself twice. Jiang Jie thought she was being beaten lightly, so she pulled her hand away and slapped her hard. At that time, all the students in the girl's class crowded into the classroom windows to look around, following them. It's like a monkey show.

Nothing happened afterwards. The girls were thin-skinned and bullied at school, especially when they were involved in a puppy love incident. Sometimes they felt that it was their own fault, so they dared not sue the teacher to the parents, which only fueled Jiang Jie's arrogance. .

Among the people who didn't respond, Huo Ranyin who went to the movies with the girls was included. He was still on good terms with Brother Jiang Jie.

Jiang Jie thought that no one dared to go past her to tell Huo Ranyin, and that girl was also subdued by herself, walking smugly for a long time.

ridiculous.

Jiang Jie thought that Huo Ranyin knew everything that Huo Ranyin didn't know.

He didn't say it, but because he didn't care.

He doesn't care about the girls who watch movies with him, nor does he care about Jiang Jie's thoughts.

Guys know a lot more than girls think.They pretended not to understand, but it was in their best interests not to understand.

But these are just trivial things in Jiang Jie's school life of beckoning cats and dogs.

She yelled, and the class echoed one after another, urging the life committee to send someone to the water room to carry water.

Drinking mineral water in school requires a water fee, which is not much, 30 yuan a semester, and most people in the class pay the water fee, so the mineral water brought in is consumed relatively quickly, and usually can be drunk in three days bucket of water.

So every time I go back to carry water, I always bring two buckets in a row, which can be used for a week.

But this time, the two buckets of water were consumed very quickly. I remember that they were replaced on Wednesday afternoon. Now it is Friday morning, and there is only one third left.

During the lunch break, everyone talked a few words, and finally because the math teacher came in suddenly and handed out the test papers, they put aside the matter of changing the water first.

I didn't notice anything unusual at the time.

Until that night, I stayed to clean up. This is not my duty time, but with Jiang Jie around, this kind of cleaning day will happen from time to time.

Thinking about it, maybe I should thank her.

Because this time, when I was cleaning the classroom, I accidentally discovered that in the empty bucket next to the mineral water machine, there was a small pinhole on the round plastic sheet that sealed the mouth of the bucket.

Someone used a needle to pierce the plastic sheet sealing the mineral water.

What does TA want to do?

Naturally, without thinking too much, I came up with my plan.

I thought of TA's plan.

TA cast poison in the water.After poisoning, of course, one must escape punishment and get rid of suspicion.

Class E has a total of 49 students, 45 of whom paid the water fee and were able to drink water in the class. The biggest suspect in the poisoning incident naturally lies in the remaining people who did not drink water in class.

I am one of these four.

Who is TA?From the motive point of view, she must hate the people in our class very much, so she thought of poisoning in the shared bucket.

The buckets were brought in on Tuesday afternoon, and he had a whole Tuesday night to do the poisoning.Everyone in the class has an equal chance, even those who drink water may be TA.

In addition to the people in the class, it may also be outside the class. The door of the classroom is very old, and it can be easily opened with a student card.

Will TA flip my desk this morning?I looked at my desk again, and I emptied it and dumped it, only a cloud of dust came out.

But that proves nothing.

If it were me, if I wanted to frame someone, I wouldn't be so stupid as to put something conspicuous like a syringe. If I were so stupid, living a life by following the rules would be a submissive way of life.

If it were me, I'd pour some imperceptible powder into the crevice, but a dog can smell it.

This is both safe and economical.

I guess, the poison that TA casts on the water dispenser is drugs.Drugs are addictive. People in the class consume more water unconsciously, so the water consumption becomes faster. This deduction is highly reasonable.

Since the empty bucket placed at the same time as the half bucket of water was punctured by a needle, the remaining water must have been poisoned by TA.

Do you want to dump it?

My contact with it now will increase the suspicion on me. It is Friday afternoon, and the people who change the water remember that there is still leftovers. When they see that there is no water on Monday, they will always be suspicious, and then think of staying on Friday to clean up. hygienic me.

Do nothing, but protect yourself.

Of course, talking about self-protection might be hypocritical and ridiculous, but it’s better to say that I can get revenge on people like Jiang Jie who have been bullying me. Didn't you pay the water bill together?

Never suspecting guilt is always good governance.

If I decide to ignore it, I just need to drag the desk to clean it later, and wipe the corners and corners. It has nothing to do with me.

This thought stuck in my head for a good 10 minutes before I finally deleted it.

I don't have much opinion on the classmates in the class. It's hard to pay attention to a sheep every day, unless the sheep comes to you every day, wagging its head and grinning.

But even for Jiang Jie, Huo Ranyin's follower, I have no intention of killing.

All my killing intent always converges on Huo Ranyin.Before killing Huo Ranyin, it is not suitable for me to have too many things that will be noticed by my side.

If I let go of the momentary impulse to take revenge on Jiang Jie, it will only prove that my brain is not calm enough, it has been controlled by hormones, and it is not safe enough.

But do I need this security?

I asked myself, but there was no answer.

Maybe time will tell me everything.

I put the rest of the water in a mineral water bottle.After the plastic bucket was emptied, there were indeed pinholes on the sealed round plastic sheet.I plan to keep the water as physical evidence. At the same time, I also want to take it to the Internet cafe and ask what it is.

I looked at the transparent water in my hand and suddenly had a new idea.

Just as I, who has been bullied all the time, did not feel hatred towards the whole class, does TA really want to take revenge on everyone?

This kind of poisoning, on the surface, can be aimed at the whole class, but in fact it is aimed at specific people. Expanding the victims is just a cover-up of TA, blurring TA's motives.

Perhaps that particular person is Jiang Jie.

Because in Class E, only Jiang Jie, who consumes a lot of physical strength every day and wants to take the college entrance examination as a sports student, drinks the most water in the class.

And she is the most ostentatious, and the things she does are also the most annoying.In addition to the freshman girl last time, she has also bullied many people. For example, recently, there was a Xu Shijin who had a bad relationship with her, to the point of writing a suicide note to confront her.

In addition, Jiang Jie also likes to play mahjong, which is not limited to entertainment, but gambling. She often extorts others just to use money to play mahjong.

She is a mess of interpersonal relationships, it is not wise to infer from her to TA.

……

I took the water bottle to the drug dealer's den I found earlier.

Without any preparation or rehearsal, when facing the drug dealer, the lie came out naturally: "I have a batch of goods in my hand, but it was dissolved in water. Do you accept it? The samples are brought."

Drug dealers obviously don't refuse shipments.He casually asked, "Did it come out of the clothes?"

I thought for a while and understood what he meant.Some people transport drugs by soaking clothes in drug liquid and then drying them. This method is not publicized in school propaganda, which is quite novel.

The mineral water bottle was handed over, and the drug dealer's younger brother took a sip, his face was not very good, he shook his head and said, "Little brother, come and tease us, isn't this what we ship?"

What a surprise.

TA finds the drug purchase channel as I found?Is this a coincidence?

If possible, I would like to test here again to confirm his identity, but obviously, the drug dealer would not let me do this, so I pretended to be flustered and scared, and said that someone had lied to me.

They didn't take me seriously and kicked me out.

I'm not worried about any troubles this trip will bring me. Wearing a pot head with hair covering the eyebrows and eyes is sometimes beneficial. At least my face that is covered by most of it will not impress anyone. I believe These two drug dealers don't even remember my face.

But instead I lost interest.

It is said that drug dealers who lick blood at the knife edge are nothing more than that, and it is easy for me to get the clue.

sheep.

Sheep one by one.

One after another is ignorant and ignorant, a sheep that pretends to be fierce but is actually fragile.

My inference has been verified. Since the drugs have been dropped into the water, then someone should show a reaction to drug addiction. Will anyone show a reaction during the two days of the weekend?

After the reaction occurs, they will realize that it is drug addiction, will they go to the hospital, the school will call the police?

Curious about what happened next, I left the house on Saturday morning and waited in the school corridor.Knowing that my behavioral logic would completely overlap with TA's in this way, curiosity still prevailed and drove my body into action.

……

Nothing happened on Saturday, something happened on Sunday.

I was blocked by Jiang Jie.

After two days without drinking water with added ingredients, Jiang Jie was indeed more manic than usual. In the classroom, the more water she drank, the more addicted she became.She beat me with her dog legs, not only girls, but also boys.

I ran for a while and was still caught by them.

I squatted down against the wall with my head in my arms, their fists and kicks rained down on me, and I looked at the place I carefully selected through the gaps in the crowd.

At this time, the wall of the school was behind me. As long as I leaned my back against the wall, I could protect many parts of my body.

Here's another rock.

It is difficult for a human mind to be as hard as a rock.

There were so many of them, and they were pushing, crowding, and scrambling to be the first. Everyone wanted to hit me twice. Once the scene became chaotic, it was difficult to control, and it became very easy to do something.

I don't know whose head will try the stone in the end?

Just as I was thinking about it, someone suddenly said, "Hey, so many people beat one person, it's too much."

This voice was not in my plans.

I was in a rare daze, and behind everyone, I looked up in the direction of the sound.

I saw a person sitting on the wall of the school, the sun was in the sky behind his head, so a black veil covered his face with multicolored spots.

I can only hear his voice.

"Kids study hard, don't make trouble and bully others every day, okay?"
