sincerity of lies

I……

Ji Xun, who was stuck indoors, was momentarily speechless.

It was only in the first ten minutes that I felt that I was lucky. Everything went so smoothly. I can't be complacent. Is something wrong?

His eyes quickly swept across the room.

There is no ceiling, and the bathroom and the master bedroom are connected, with only a layer of transparent glass, so you can see everything at a glance; even if there is no transparent glass, as long as someone pushes the door and enters, they can see everything, and there is no need to hide.

The only possibility of being able to hide a little bit is——

Ji Xun's eyes fell on the air conditioner outside the window, he concentrated for a second, and looked away.

Forget it, not at all.

As for the 18th floor, you will really die.

The voices outside the door didn't stop. Ji Xun heard Tan Mingjiu's perfunctory "hmmm" under the overly attentive greeting of the property owner, and there was also the sound of footsteps taking half a second without rushing.

That was Huo Ranyin.

No need to think too much, Ji Xun immediately confirmed.

Only Huo Ranyin walked like a carnivore hunting.

In a hurry, he had to dodge and hide in the empty closet in the bedroom.

He had just closed the cabinet door when the bedroom door was pushed open. Through a gap left by the cabinet, he saw Huo Ranyin appearing at the bedroom door.

Huo Ranyin first squatted down and glanced at the floor.

He is looking at shoe prints.

Ji Xun thought.

When people enter the dusty floor, of course they will leave footprints, but when he enters the door, he habitually grasps the interior layout first, and walks back and forth in the room, there are footprints coming in and going out, Huo Ranyin has no way to do so What can be judged - except that someone has come in, male, height 187, weight 64KG, wearing sports shoes, no flat feet and other foot characteristics.

After a while, Huo Ranyin stood up and tilted his head.

It's a wall switch.

Huo Ranyin noticed the switch on the wall, he will look at the bedside lamp next, and then he will realize...

Ji Xun gritted his teeth slightly. After thinking for a while, he took out his mobile phone, moved his fingers like flying, and sent a message to Tan Mingjiu:

"Tell you something important, related to the case—"

The open cabinet door loosened, and the light suddenly shot in. Ji Xun's hand shook, and he couldn't type anymore.

"Is there gold on the ground?" Huo Ranyin's cool voice rang out.

"...No." Ji asked.

"Then why don't you look up?" Huo Ranyin asked with a smile, a little spicy, mixed with sarcasm, and actually had a lazy back nasal voice, "You are playing the game that I can't see you if you don't look at me?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand to get Ji Xun's cell phone.

All of a sudden, Ji Xun recalled Huo Ranyin when they first met.

Like a cocktail, both charming and strong man.

After a short silence, Ji Xun raised his head as if nothing had happened, and raised his arms to avoid Huo Ranyin's movements, and said with a smile: "What is Captain Huo doing? Look at this posture, do you want to slap me?"

Huo Ranyin's outstretched hand stopped in the air.

Ji Xun was still talking nonsense: "It's broad daylight, it's not the time to do this. The key point is that Tan Mingjiu is still outside. If he suddenly comes in and sees us fighting in this small cabinet, wiping our guns and going off, it won't be good. ,Am I right--"

His lips were suddenly pressed by Huo Ranyin's thumb, and the remaining four fingers clasped his neck, holding him against the wall of the closet. The light suddenly dimmed, and Huo Ranyin moved closer.

Now, the two of them were really face to face, squeezed into a small cabinet.

"That's a lot of nonsense." Huo Ranyin said, "Ji Xun, you don't need me to tell you about the crime of illegal burglary?"

"Illegal burglary... and illegal burglary... are different crimes." Huo Ranyin covered his hands tightly, but Ji Xun still spoke in a strong voice, "I can be regarded as illegal burglary at most... Criticize and educate..."

Huo Ranyin looked at Ji Xun for a while, then moved forward a bit.He controlled Ji Xun's neck with one hand, Ji Xun turned half of his head uncontrollably, and heard a soft laugh behind his ear.

Together with the laughter, Huo Ranyin's breathing was also achieved.

The regular and presence-filled air flow hit the side of Ji Xun's neck, making him feel the tension of being stared at by a predator, and the goosebumps on this piece of skin stood up.

It doesn't stop there.

In the next second, Ji Xun felt that his pants pocket was stretched open, and a hand reached in.

It was Huo Ranyin's hand.

The thin fabric can't isolate the temperature and contours of the palm, Huo Ranyin's body temperature and breathing are two extremes, Ji Xun feels like a ball of ice stuck into his pocket.

He was shivering from the ice.

After the trembling, he felt that the pocket had gained some weight, and something was put in it.

"Now you have something in your pocket."

Huo Ranyin pressed against Ji Xun's ear.Ji Xun couldn't see the other person's expression, he could only hear the sharpness and coldness mixed in the air current.

"As long as this kind of thing is not yours, it is the evidence of your burglary. Tan Mingjiu outside is the witness. The stolen goods were both captured, and the evidence of the crime is conclusive. What else do you want to say?"

"Yes. I think a good policeman of the people can't do such an outrageous thing." The body and mind were double oppressed, controlled within an inch, and Ji Xun's breathing became slow.

"Then try. See if I'm a good policeman in the traditional sense, and bet on whether I'm going out of line." He put the accent on the word 'out of the line', which was cold, dangerous and full of playfulness.

"..."

There is a high probability that Huo Ranyin is a good policeman on the surface, but it is really hard to say what his face is at night.

Ji Xun judged the situation and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Huo Ranyin glanced at Ji Xun, let go of his hand, and knocked on the cabinet door, his tone became normal: "Tell me how you got here and what clues you found."

Ji Xun reached into his pocket and touched it. It turned out to be the keychain that he hadn't found for a long time. He was silent for a few seconds: "Thank you."

He came out of the closet and said to Huo Ranyin: "There is an inference, Team Huo must want to know."

"Continue." Huo Ran raised his eyebrows with a careless expression.

"Tang Jinglong quit the rent before Xi Lei died. Why did he quit the rent? He knew that Xi Lei would never use this place again."

After Ji Xun finished speaking in one breath, the casual perfunctory faded from Huo Ranyin's face.

His expression became dark.

"Captain Huo, important clues, property—"

Tan Mingjiu's voice suddenly sounded outside, Tan Mingjiu hurried into the master bedroom, and immediately saw Ji Xun standing in the closet, he froze suddenly, his pupils dilated.

Ji Xun quickly answered: "Hi."

This sound recalled Tan Mingjiu's soul.He covered his chest and took a deep breath, and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "...Hey, you banana, you are here! How did you get in?"

Huo Ranyin interrupted Tan Mingjiu: "What important clue?"

Tan Mingjiu immediately said: "It's the landlord who called back. The property just contacted the landlord, and the landlord responded that the tenant had withdrawn the lease on the 4th of this month! In addition, when Tang Jinglong signed the rental contract, he did not use In my own name, I don’t use his bank card when making payment every month!”

Huo Ranyin's eyes fluctuated slightly.

Tan Mingjiu looked at Huo Ranyin, who was not surprised, and Ji Xun, who was even less surprised, and realized.

"Ji Xun already knows about this?"

"No, I don't know about the bank card." Ji Xun said not seriously.

"That means you know that the house belongs to Tang Jinglong?" Tan Mingjiu insisted, "How did you know that you sneaked into the property? No, the property doesn't know the details of the house; you know the owner? So the owner gave you the key , you opened the door with the key? The owner of the house is not your reader, is it? "

"I have a lot of imagination. If I were Conan Doyle Agatha, I would have this possibility. It's a pity that I'm just an ordinary little author." Ji Xun was speechless, "This is common sense——"

"These two words again!" Tan Mingjiu lamented, "You haven't learned the aloofness of a detective, and you have a lot of oral addiction."

Huo Ranyin closed his eyes for a moment, followed Ji Xun's train of thought, and said instead of Ji Xun: "When I came in, there was a layer of dust on the floor. I turned on the switch but the light didn't turn on. It can be seen that no one has entered the house for a while and the power supply is always on. The brakes are also pulled up. Under normal living conditions, who will turn off the main power switch?"

"It's that simple?" Tan Mingjiu asked.

"How complicated are you? Looking at this house, things are as clear as lice on a bald head." Ji Xun laughed.

Tan Mingjiu said that he was offended.

After the gossip was over, Ji Xun went on to say: "Only when the relationship breaks up or is caught raped will they give up the golden house of Cangjiao. Rao Fangjie continued to harass Xi Lei's house with text messages on January 1th, which shows that their relationship is probably not broken, and there is no such thing as here." It was discovered. Then how did Tang Jinglong predict that this house would not be needed?"

"Tang Jinglong is indeed suspected."

This intuitive evidence wins Huo Ranyin's heart even more than Ji Xun's metaphysics of arranging his hair so he loves his beloved.

Huo Ranyin admitted positively this time: "Through this, it can be inferred that Tang Jinglong knew that Xi Lei would die, and he bought the murderer to kill her. Rao Fangjie's DNA found at the scene is likely to be inadvertently contaminated by the murderer for some reason when he was in contact with Tang Jinglong. .As for who the murderer hired by Tang Jinglong is..."

"This is what the police are looking for." Ji Xun answered in a leisurely manner, "To me, the real murderer has come out behind the scenes. In terms of a novel, the focus of the narrative changes from who the murderer is to committing the crime." Motivation—Why did Tang Jinglong kill Xi Lei? What did Xi Lei know?"

"What a coincidence, it happened that no one can tell."
