sincerity of lies

It was time to get off work at night, and a group message rang on the mobile phone's WeChat, and it was Tan Mingjiu who sent the message.

He @All Members in the WeChat group "Hello everyone, I went to find Sun Hongfa and chatted again, guess what?"

Sun Hongfa was the one who carried the knife to kill Ji Xun in the previous kidnapping case.

Tan Mingjiu didn't hold back, and continued: "I found something new. There is Zhu Huan's contact information in his mobile phone. Although I haven't seen the chat records so far, I am thinking that they may have a different connection before..."

Huo Ranyin glanced at the messages in the WeChat group, and then at the time, it was 7:55 in the evening.

It was 15 minutes before the scheduled meeting time with one of his friends.He speeded up the car, and the car moved nimbly like a fish swimming in the waves of traffic.

This friend doesn't like to wait.

If you are late, see you next time, and I don't know when it will be.

The appointed place to meet was a teahouse. The teahouse had a private room, which was very quiet. When Huo Ranyin opened the door and entered, he first smelled a strong scent of sandalwood.

The sandalwood in the censer was burned out, but the smoke hadn't dissipated yet, and a wisp of fragrance was mixed in the hazy smoke, like a deep and regretful sigh.

The people in the private room, with their backs to the door, are reading a book.

His fingers rested on the pages of the book, and a watch could be seen on his wrist. The watch was very beautiful, the bezel was full of diamonds, the dial was dark blue, with silvery dots and golden lights on it, inlaid with stars, moons, cosmic planets, the vast universe, and subtle time. , all in one hand.

That hand is white.

Huo Ranyin's skin was already white, but the other party's skin was even whiter than Huo Ranyin's. It was so white that it lost other colors, and it was so white that it carved out this body like snow, and covered his body in the same way. hair.

Huo Ranyin walked up to the other party.

The other party has snow-white hair, hair draped to the shoulders, and the same white eyebrows and eyelashes.It was as if he had just come back from a walk in the snow, his body and face covered in snow, only his eyes and lips were shining brightly in the white snow, leaving the last breath of a living person.

His name is Yu Cisheng, and he is an albino patient.

"How are you doing lately?" Huo Ranyin sat across from Yu Cisheng, chatting skillfully with him.Yu Cisheng was four years older than him, and he was a neighbor's elder brother since he was a child. Later, his parents died, and he was moved out of the house by his relatives, so he lost contact with Yu Cisheng, but after he started working, he met again by chance , was rescued by Yu Cisheng.

Going round and round, fate is ingenious.

So even though Yu Cisheng seldom returned to China, he didn't contact Yu Cisheng often, and the relationship between the two was still good.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water.

"It's not bad." Yu Cisheng smiled slightly, "Cultivate your body and mind on an island where the seasons are like spring."

The patient should rest more, Huo Ranyin didn't ask any more questions, he quickly got to the point, which was the purpose of coming to Yu Cisheng this time: "Did the person I asked you to check before get any results?"

Yu Cisheng took out a photo and handed it to Huo Ranyin. If Ji Xun could definitely recognize it here, it would be Meng Lingshan.

"Meng Lingshan, male, 29 years old, graduated from the Capital University. He used to work in the provincial capital. He quit his job three years ago after a trip abroad and is nowhere to be found."

He pulled out another photo, this time it was Huang Mao.

"Chen Jiahe, his elder brother is called Chen Jiashu. Apart from running a pharmaceutical company in the open, he also engages in some drug smuggling in private. Came to Chen Jiashu's side, and became his right-hand man in a short time."

"The details are all in the file bag. You can take it and read it yourself. I'm still a little surprised. The police should have their own information channels. Why do they need my help?" After Yu Cisheng finished speaking, he picked up his teacup and took a sip.He is different from the people nowadays, he never leaves his mobile phone. Ever since Huo Ranyin came in, he has never seen Yu Cisheng's mobile phone. Instead, the book he held in his hand before was put on the table because of communication. As a courtesy.

"There are some reasons why it is not convenient to use the system to check him." Huo Ranyin said, "This is just my personal curiosity."

"Okay." Yu Cisheng said, "At first I thought you wanted me to help you get rid of this one."

Yu Cisheng's hand hit the yellow hair.

"He spread your photo indiscriminately on the black market. If those people saw it, it would be troublesome. Maybe they will fly across the sea, armed with weapons, and come to Ning City to look for you."

The smoke that shrouded the room gradually dissipated, and Yu Cisheng lit a new piece of sandalwood and threw it into the incense burner.

He is an albino patient, and the organs of his body may become diseased at any time. The watch is to freeze the time, cherish the time, and collect all kinds of strange and wonderful time; but when we really get along with him, he does everything without hesitation Slow, it seems that there is still a lot of time in my hand that I can enjoy leisurely.

Fast and slow, urgency and leisure, have reached the unity of contradictions in him.

New smoke rose from the incense burner, gradually forming a misty screen between Huo Ranyin and Yu Cisheng, the familiar face seemed strange for a while.

After a short silence, Huo Ranyin tugged at the corner of his mouth, revealing a sharp and bloodthirsty smile.

"Then come on, if you dare to step into Ning City, I will let them come and go."

"I'm not too worried about you. However, they can't do anything to you, and they might attack people around you," Yu Cisheng said.

...Ji Xun.

This name came to Huo Ranyin's heart almost instantly.He frowned and thought of one more thing.

"Why is there Ji Xun's signature book in your home?"

"Ji Xun?"

"It's the author of Poisoned Fruit."

"Oh, because..." Yu Cisheng laughed, "He writes beautifully."

After Huo Ranyin came out of the teahouse, it was not yet nine o'clock, and it was not half an hour before he entered.

He continued to drive, heading home.

There are no new messages on WeChat, and the last message Ji Xun sent was at the Drum Tower in Qinshi at noon.

When he was in the elevator, he swiped his finger twice on WeChat and sent a voice message to Ji Xun: "What are you doing?"

The other party replied quickly: "Bed, get ready, tomorrow, sign the sale."

Huo Ranyin: "Everything is going well."

Ji Xun: "Well, I believe that there will not be a terrorist wearing a mask suddenly rushing in with a gun to destroy the signing site... So don't worry, everything will go smoothly to the point of being boring."

Huo Ranyin smiled unconsciously.

"Want something exciting?"

"What's exciting?" Ji Xun asked alertly.

"Meng negative mountain." Huo Ranyin typed the name in the chat box, "Talk to me about him."

Chapter [-] Although some people are compatible with you everywhere, they are like brothers and sisters, but they can't escape the tricks of fate, they can only walk away from each other, and gradually drift away.

When the mobile phone came to Qinshi, it had already been sent to the maintenance point, and the Trojan horse that had been implanted in it was removed. However, once it was bitten by a snake for ten years, Ji Xun stared at the screen twice In a few seconds, there was a slight shadow over the WeChat chat, so he simply dialed the phone directly.

The phone was quickly connected, and Huo Ranyin's voice rang next to Ji Xun's ears, so close that as long as he closed his eyes, he could imagine Huo Ranyin who was sleeping next to him and whispering to him.

Just thinking about it in this way makes the body warm up like stress.

"Hey?"

"Have you found Meng Lingshan? You acted fast enough." Ji Xun said, "You really care about him, and you will never forget him."

"Now you are willing to tell me about him?" Huo Ranyin's words were sarcastically teasing, "You have often met in secret, a secret object that you don't want to be discovered."

"You're talking like I have some shady relationship with him." Ji Xun protested.

"do not have it?"

"No." Ji Xun replied angrily, "All my shady relationships are—"

"Ok?"

"It's all on you."

He said this, as if he had said a love word that he didn't plan to say. He was a little embarrassed for a moment, turned his eyes, and stared at the craft clock beside the bed. This is a Western-style craft with a light on the round clock dial The little angel with a bow and arrow in his butt, what is the name of this angel? — Cupid.

He raised his hand to touch the heart-like arrow tip.The tip of the arrow "咻——" aimed at his heart.

He moved his eyes away again, and then dragged Meng Lingshan out to cover up: "Okay, let me tell you about Meng Lingshan. He is my classmate in college. If you want to talk about him, can you also mention the The case I handled at the High School Affiliated to Qin University..."

2007

This is the third inn Ji Xun found in the depths of the alley.

The front of the hotel is very hidden, and there is a canteen selling cigarettes and drinks outside. The photo of the canteen is sponsored by Wahaha Mineral Water. On the red cover, the five black words "Friendship Canteen" are not conspicuous enough, let alone under the big black characters. The words "rent a house, have internet, 50/day" are several times smaller.

The uncle at the canteen looked at Ji Xun, and Ji Xun also looked at the uncle.

On the glass counter between them, there were scattered banknotes that Ji Xun found out after searching all his pockets.

A total of 20 pieces, two pieces of 10 yuan, one piece of 5 yuan, two one-dollar coins, one fifty-cent coin, a total of 47.5 yuan.

The uncle's eyes shot from the back of the newspaper, and what blocked his face was a welfare lottery newspaper. This canteen also runs a lottery business: "It's still 2.5 short."

Ji Xun took out his wallet again, and finally took out a dime from the gap in the wallet, and put it on the pile of banknotes.

"One cent." The uncle was speechless, "It's still short..."

"Uncle, please please." Ji Xun clasped his hands together, "The students are really out of money, anyway, I don't think your place looks like you can open a business, so just wipe off the change for me?"

"Students should study hard. Why do you still come here to stay in a hotel and have conflicts with your parents? You have to be sensible, kiss your parents, can you do it for you?"

The uncle muttered twice, swept the newspaper on the table, and all the money went into the drawer under the counter, and then a card was handed out.

"On the third floor, 301, enter the door by swiping the card. The things inside must be taken care of, and you will lose money if it breaks."

"I know." Ji Xun took the card and walked towards the stairs next to the canteen.

I don't know when the stairs here were built. They are actually made of wood. There is a wire on the concrete wall, and a light bulb with poor contact and cobwebs is hanging on the wire.

Step on it with one foot, and the dust will squeak and squeak.

But at this time, I can't care too much about it. When Ji Xun was still walking up, he took out his mobile phone and called his brothers in his dormitory.

Out of ammunition and food, please help!

The dormitory of the public university is a four-person room. He called one by one, and his buddy on the lower bunk sighed, "Brother, money is also tight recently, and I will give you 200 yuan for emergency." , It sounds unreliable, you come back quickly, I am frightened to roll your name every day in class, I am afraid that the teacher will find out." The chanting returned to the chanting, and after the chanting was over, I also gave 300 yuan.

At this time, it was already 500 yuan, and Ji Xun thought it was almost enough, and he didn't want to ask the last roommate for help.

The two roommates in front, one named Chu Jiayou and the other named Cai Wenming, their names are very easy to remember. When Ji Xun first entered the dormitory, I heard them joke that our name has "pig" and "vegetable", and the combination of meat and vegetables , complete nutrition.

These two were roommates who had slept together since freshman year. Ji Xun had a good relationship with them. Only the last one, named Meng Lingshan, was not originally his roommate, but his regular partner in practical training classes.

This person is indifferent by nature, he can move his hands but never speaks, and he looks like a lone wolf walking alone on campus. At the most awesome time, Ji Xun practiced with Meng Lingshan for five days a week. No matter what Ji Xun said in the sky, Meng Lingshan just didn't answer a word.

Ji Xun once thought that the other party had something against him.It was still at the end of the freshman year, Meng Lingshan came over suddenly and asked, "There is a vacancy in your dormitory, can I move to your dormitory?"

It was only then that he discovered that Meng Lingshan really didn't like to talk, but besides that, he was quite a buddy. For example, this time, when Ji Xun euphemistically mentioned his current predicament, the other party said directly :

"one thousand."

"what?"

Ji Xun happened to be opening the door after going up the stairs. I really can’t expect too much from a room worth RMB 50. Almost everything smells old. When Ji Xun opened the door, he could only hear a loud babbling sound, like The metal sheet that opens the door hasn't been lubricated in 1 years.

"Sorry, I didn't hear clearly just now, what did you say?"

"I can lend you 1000 yuan." Meng Lingshan said it again with a perfect accent.

"Brother, there are not so many shortages..." Ji Xun was flattered, and now he feels the same as when Meng Lingshan came to him specifically to transfer into his dormitory. The opponent repeatedly exceeded his expectations.

"I'll take it for you." Meng Lingshan has always been simple and direct, cherishing words like gold, "I don't want to go home during the winter vacation. You should have heard about my family's situation. When the time comes, I will go to your place to play, and your bed will be shared with me. Half will do."

Ji Xun really knows a lot about Meng Lingshan's family situation. He didn't go to inquire about it on purpose, he just heard it from his classmates gossip... Good interpersonal relationship is such a distress, even if you don't want to know, gossip has grown wings , automatically fly into your ears.

Meng Lingshan's parents divorced at an early age. During the summer vacation when he graduated from high school, his father made a decision to let his aunt, whom he had known for many years, move to live with him.The aunt is also divorced, and she has a boy with her. The boy is three years younger than Meng Lingshan, and now he graduated from the third year of junior high school and is waiting for the first year of high school.

Meng Lingshan was not used to the new aunt and younger brother, but it didn't matter. After all, he had finished his college entrance examination and was about to leave home to go to university.But the younger brother brought by the aunt was unwilling.

In order to mess up the combination of the two families, the younger brother did everything possible, and finally even declared that he was gay, and broke into Meng Lingshan's room in the middle of the night, woke up Meng Lingshan who was sleeping, and confessed his affection to Meng Lingshan .

Meng Lingshan never mentioned the chaos, neurasthenia, and emotional collapse at that time, but after thinking about it for a while, Ji Xun couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for Meng Lingshan.

All in all, the final result is that Meng Lingshan, who was hesitant among several schools, was able to fill in his volunteers after his first-class results, so he filled in all his first, second and third volunteers in Capital Public Security University. Wash off the cream stained on his body - the three-year-old brother brought by his stepmother is just a boy with a feminine appearance.

However, after entering the OUHK, Meng Lingshan didn't seem to completely get rid of the psychological shadow from his younger brother.

When the other party was a freshman, there was a pair of bunk beds in the dormitory, and it was better to get along with each other on a daily basis, so it was inevitable to behave more intimately, such as hooking shoulders together, hugging each other, taking a bath and sleeping in the same bed... From Ji Xun's point of view, it was really nothing , but Meng Lingshan still couldn't help it. At the end of his freshman year, he and Ji Xun asked to change dormitories.

That request was made by Meng Lingshan after a certain actual combat training.

He still clearly remembers the scene of that day.That day Meng Lingshan started a little hard, and half of his shoulder was hurting like a cramp. While grinning, he took out a water bottle and a towel from his backpack to wipe his face.

That towel was a brown bear towel.

During college, many things on him were prepared by Ji Yu.Equality between men and women has always been pursued in his family, and his sister has as much pocket money as he has.His pocket money is usually taken in the month, as the moonlight; but Ji Yu, at the end of each month, can save some balance, sometimes one or two hundred, and sometimes two or three hundred.

Obviously, girls have much more places to spend money than boys, and I don't know how she saves it.

In short, because he has a lot of money, Ji Yu often gives him small gifts, from schoolbag pendants to water glasses to towels to sports wristbands. Before he knows it, all the things he uses every day are covered by Ji Yu .

At that time, Ji Yu was only 14 years old, and his aesthetics was always cute. Whenever he showed up with these cute little elves, he would always attract the attention of others in the dormitory and in the class.

He is also used to showing off his lovely sister to everyone when he has nothing to do.He remembered that most of the people in the class chased after him and asked about his sister, but Meng Lingshan, every time he heard it, he pretended not to hear it, and always walked over directly with a dismissive and cold attitude.

But that time, Meng Lingshan wiped his face with his sleeve, looked at his bear towel for a while, and then asked him to change the dormitory. After he agreed, Meng Lingshan asked him again:

"Is my sister really cute?"

After briefly telling the story of Meng Lingshan's college days, Ji Xun smiled at Huo Ranyin on the other end of the phone: "That guy is actually quite funny, I know he came to my dormitory because of homophobia, I asked him very seriously, 'What if I'm gay'? Guess how he reacted?"

"What's the reaction?" Huo Ranyin asked curiously.

"He gave me a sideways glance, and coolly dropped three words, 'Impossible'." Ji Xun said.

"It's enough to slap your face." Huo Ranyin commented.

"His eyes are intermittently blind." Ji Xun sneered, "Looking at Ji Yu is a rare bright spot in his blind life. It's a pity that Ji Yu has never thought about it, and always regards him as another brother..."

This kind of regret leaked a little inadvertently, and was erased by Ji Xun.

"Meng Lingshan has nothing to say." Ji Xun said.

Everyone will meet many people in his life. Although some people are compatible with you in every way, they are like brothers and sisters, but they can't escape the tricks of fate. ,Lopsided.

"Let me tell you about another person I met in Qinshi." Ji Xun continued.

At this moment, Huo Ran had a premonition, and he held his breath for a long time before he heard his distorted voice.

"Who?"

"Zhou Zhaonan." Ji Xun, "I met a kid in the High School Attached to Qin University."
