sincerity of lies

Yes.

Of course, no surprise.

Tiger poison does not eat children, if Huo Ranyin's life experience is not suspicious, in a family, the probability of both parents being so cruel to their children is very low.

"And then?" Ji Xun asked closely, without pausing, to comfort Huo Ranyin.

He couldn't comfort the past. In this matter, the wound on Huo Ranyin's heart had been stitched up densely over the years, forming thick scars.

Shallow comforting words, as light as floating hair, can't penetrate the armor-like scab that has formed.

He could only repeatedly question, dig out the past, dig out the wound... Dig out everything hidden in the past, and then piece together the real truth, a good medicine that can really cure Huo Ranyin.

"Although it's a bit late to say this now. But the older I get, the less I hate...my mother, Huo Qiyu." Huo Ran understood Ji Xun's deep meaning, and in order to give the detective the most objective clues, he pondered and said every word Every sentence was carefully considered, "She was 21 years old when she was pregnant with me, and she hadn't graduated from university. I resemble my mother, and I inherited my mother's appearance, but I am far inferior to my mother."

As a man, Huo Ranyin was already extremely beautiful. What kind of woman is much more beautiful than Huo Ranyin?

Ji Xun couldn't imagine it for a moment.

Maybe it's as bright as a gem, as bright as a bright moon.

He continued to listen to Huo Ranyin's description.

"My grandfather dotes on her very much, but is also very worried about her. He always asks the hired worker to accompany her in case something happens to her." Huo Ranyin, "But my mother was lively and gregarious back then. I met a group of like-minded classmates, and I often wanted to get rid of the servants around me. That year, my uncle, her brother, had just passed away due to illness, and her father also suffered a heavy blow, mentally declining, often drunk, The whole mansion was shrouded in a decadent and decadent atmosphere, and she became more and more miserable, so she went out to participate in parties more and more frequently."

"Did something happen at the party?" Ji Xun couldn't help answering.

"...Well." Huo Ranyin, "A poetry club party was held in a hotel. I don't know who suggested drinking. Everyone was drunk. My mother was in the room next to the poetry club. Gang-raped by a stranger."

"..." Ji Xun's face darkened.

Now that Huo Ranyin has described it, he can already guess many things behind it.

It is unbearable to guess.

"It's already very tragic that this kind of thing happened. But I'm afraid my mother didn't realize at the time that this hellish night was just the beginning of misfortune." When Huo Ranyin said this, his speech speed suddenly accelerated.Although he spoke fast, he still spoke clearly, "Later, she was bumped into by her classmates and people in the hotel with her disheveled clothes."

"There were too many people. When she returned home, panicked, and finally fell asleep under the comfort of her father who heard the shocking news... The news about the Huo family's daughter being gang-raped by hooligans had spread throughout Qin City. "

"Rumor?" Ji asked.

"Not just rumors, but also photos." Huo Ranyin said.

"This was premeditated..." Ji Xun murmured.

"Maybe." Huo Ranyin said, "How can the Huo family who can manage such a large business have no enemies? Huo Shanyuan's only son just died of illness. The family will fall down and the monkeys will be scattered... A huge family can be disintegrated without bloodshed, and many people will be tempted. It's just that the criminal investigation methods in those days were not as complete as they are now. The two hooligans were not found."

"At this time, another thing happened..."

Having said that, Huo Ranyin rarely stopped.

Ji Xun saw complexities appearing on Huo Ranyin's face. Before he could discern what emotions these complexities represented, Huo Ranyin had already spoken:

"My mother found out that she was pregnant... The child with an unknown father staying in her belly is me."

"really weird."

Huo Ranyin said lightly.

"Obviously I had already taken the medicine and taken measures on the night of the incident, but I was still shameless, like a weed... stayed in her body."

"The Huo family was a prominent figure in Qin City back then. As the youngest daughter of the Huo family, my mother was beautiful and smart. Since she was a child, there were many men who showed affection to her. When she was 21 years old, she was already A fiancé who has intentional sex. After this incident happened, the fiancé naturally disappeared without a trace; the rest of the men who were chasing after him all disappeared... This is not unexpected. This scandal is too big Now, even now, the woman can't be a human being, let alone back then."

"When they found out that they were pregnant, the child was already three or four months old. They went to the hospital. Since then, my mother has been in a depressed mood, and her body has not recovered. If she has an abortion, there is a risk of harming her body...that is, Said that it is very likely that she will never have a child again in the future.”

"This is fatal news for my mother and my grandfather."

"My uncle just passed away. He married and divorced my aunt, leaving no children. My mother is the youngest daughter of my grandfather. When she was 21, my grandfather was already 58 years old, and my grandmother had been dead for many years. There may be some flesh and blood. Mother is the only inheritance left by grandpa; the child in mother's womb is also the only hope of the Huo family. "

Huo Ranyin spoke straightforwardly.

It seems that this concept may be outdated in the hearts of some people now, but in the hearts of the vast majority of people back then, even now, it is still a deeply rooted and unbreakable belief.

Life is alive, rushing for decades, always leave something to prove that you have been here.

Bloodlines are the simplest relics and hopes that people can leave behind.

"In the end, grandfather and mother agreed to keep the child and find someone to marry." Huo Ranyin said, "My father, Xu Chengzhang, took the initiative to stand up at this time."

The sun has completely set to the west, and the afterglow is also gone, the red clouds are about to disperse, and the gray and pleasant blue begins to encroach on the sky.

Ji Xun's gaze moved from the sky to Huo Ranyin's face.

A shadow falling from the clouds enveloped Huo Ranyin's face.

Huo Ranyin took a step forward, stepped over the cloud, and waved away the haze covering his face.

He was concise and finished the last few sentences:

"My father treated my mother very well after marriage. If it wasn't for my mother's dystocia and hemorrhage when she gave birth to me, she could no longer conceive and give birth to a blood that truly belonged to my father... maybe they would have a happier life in the end .”

Now that the business was done and the weather was fine, none of them wanted to go back to the hotel at this time, so they walked down the embankment tacitly and walked along the abandoned port.

Although the port has been abandoned, and there are weeds, gravel, and lonely and rusted steel bars everywhere, the open and unyielding wildness has unexpectedly been completely preserved, and with the sea breeze, it rushed to Ji Xun's face.

After walking for a while, Ji Xun felt much more at ease, and opened up the conversation:

"When the shipyard was still there, it should have been extraordinary. If... I'm assuming, assuming your grandfather lived longer, would you become a new generation of shipbuilding tycoon?"

"will not."

"Why so sure?"

"Because I don't like shipbuilding." Huo Ranyin said concisely.

What's more, because I built a ship, I couldn't be a policeman, and I couldn't see you.

"It's also very good. If you become a shipbuilding tycoon, I might not be able to see you. It would be a pity."

Ji Xun's emotional voice and Huo Ranyin's inner voice sounded at the same time.

Huo Ranyin pursed his lips lightly, feeling a little regretful.

In the past two days, Ji Xun has always been confessing, saying all kinds of sweet words.

Next time... I will definitely... speak faster.

They walked across the sandy beach to the crooked wooden pier.Without professional maintenance, the wooden pier was half corroded by the sea water, and half of the body was tilted towards the sea. Correspondingly, the wooden piles that should not have been under the seafloor protruded and floated carelessly on the sea surface.

Ji Xun casually pressed the wooden stake close to him, and was looking at the sea when Huo Ranyin who was standing beside him suddenly said:

"There's something under the pier."

"what?"

Ji Xun just said that Huo Ranyin had already bent down to pick up the things that were moored on the dock.

It was a small wooden boat, smaller than the palm of an adult. In the center of the wooden boat, several irregular blue crystals were inlaid. The crystals were round, shell-shaped, and long and narrow. These crystals The stone was flickered by the remaining skylight, and it emitted a sparkling blue light that was clearer than the sea.

"This is..." Ji Xun was surprised for a moment, and raised the wooden boat to face the sun, "It's quite beautifully made, a handicraft?"

"Maybe." Huo Ranyin replied, "Look to the left."

Ji Xun looked in the direction Huo Ranyin pointed, and saw a surprising scene.

Palm-sized wooden boats are lined up one after another, hundreds of thousands, rising and falling with the waves, and the irregular blue crystals inlaid on the bottom of the wooden boats also rise and fall with the wooden boats, a gust of cold sea breeze, It is a boundless phosphorescence; a burst of white foam hits the shore, and there are clusters of fallen stars twinkling all over the place.

It was a magnificent scene.

"The source is there." Huo Ranyin said, walking forward first.

The direction he walked was the direction with the most dense wooden boats.

The other party did not misjudge. When Ji Xun followed Huo Ranyin and walked for less than ten minutes, and came to the abandoned container at the port, there were still a dozen wooden boats in their port, which had not been put into the water.

Ji Xun bent down and looked at the surface of the water: "Why put so many wooden boats into the water? Make a hollow for taking pictures of the scenery?"

Huo Ranyin looked around, he didn't see anyone, which made his eyes sharper: "Why are you hiding from us when taking pictures?"

"It's not necessarily avoiding us." Ji Xun said, "Maybe it's returning to the car to get something."

"The scenes that have taken so much time and effort are all finished, how about going back to the car to get things?" Huo Ranyin asked, "Do you think it's credible?"

"There are three urgencies that happen to people." Ji Xun, "When you become a policeman, you are seriously suspicious."

When they were talking, they didn't pay attention—didn't notice that another line of sight, from a dark corner, quietly landed on their backs, and then climbed all the way up, across their backs, necks... and finally , fell silently on their faces.

The dark eyes are like invisible spider threads, covering their faces one by one.
