sincerity of lies

Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin were both surprised when they received the news.

They didn't forget the story about the Buddha statue that Lao Hu had told before. The reason why they decided to go back to Ning City first was that they were seriously injured and couldn't hold on, so they planned to take a step back and wait for the injury to heal in Ning City.

Now that the transportation is developed, it takes only a few hours to get to Qinshi.

But when they were completely unprepared, the person who told them the story died.

"What do you think?" Ji asked Huo Ranyin.

"Go and see first." Huo Ranyin replied after pondering.

So they all walked to the high-speed rail station, and the two people who were about to board the high-speed rail, under the extremely worried eyes of the Qinshi police, took a taxi and went straight to the destination given by the lawyer on the phone.

In the taxi, Ji Xun looked around and complained to Huo Ranyin: "Now I'm really afraid of taking a taxi."

Before Huo Ranyin could speak, the talkative taxi brother had already interjected: "Boss, don't be afraid. With ten years of driving experience, you touch cars more than wives. I will take care of you and send you to your destination safely!"

The two laughed for a moment.

The place where the lawyer made an appointment was in a three-story garden villa in the wealthy district of Qin City.There is a mailbox at the entrance of the villa, and the name "Hu Kun" is engraved on the mailbox. There is no doubt that this is Lao Hu's residence.

The door of the villa was closed, but the buzzing sound still came from inside the door.

When he was still at the door, Ji Xun had a bad feeling: "...why does the voice sound so loud, don't there be many people?"

"14 people." Huo Ranyin replied, "It's noisy."

After a question and an answer, they had already rang the doorbell.

The doorbell rang twice, and it was opened from the inside. When the two sides met each other, they were both stunned.

"Doctor Hu?"

"Captain Huo, expert Ji?"

It was Hu Yuan who came to open the door.Today's Hu Xian is dressed in black, with only hair tied up with a white hair tie. His figure, which is like a catwalk model, has become thinner again.

"Why are you here?" Huo Ranyin asked.

"I am the daughter of the deceased. You..." She said clearly, "The two young men who rescued Lao Hu and sent him to the police box? Are you here for the sapphire diamond brooch? "

"Yes." Ji Xun answered, his eyes passed by Hu Xian, and he looked at the living room of the villa.

When I heard Huo Ranyin say that there were 14 people inside, I didn't feel much.

Until I saw with my own eyes that this group of people were all crowded in the living room, not only occupying a large number of sofa seats in the living room, but also crowded in a row of people, and the crowded heads were scrambling to open their mouths. Ji Xun felt his head grow bigger when there were occasional shrill cries from the child and impatient scolding from the mother.

"Your father...has so many relatives? That's right, an old man in his 80s should be able to have four generations living under one roof."

A sneer flickered across the corner of Hu Xian's mouth.

Instead of going in, she closed the door and walked out.

The people in the room were arguing happily, but none of them looked outside.

"Smoking a cigarette to get some breath, don't you mind?" Hu Xian took out a cigarette from his pocket and asked the two of them.

"do not mind."

Hu Xian then lit a cigarette, bit it into his mouth, took a deep breath, and then spit it out.

The lingering white smoke was like an unpredictable mask, with strands of tentacles stretching out into her face.

She said casually: "There are so many people inside, it's hard to distinguish for a while, let me introduce you."

"Okay, okay." Ji Xun also said casually, "There are so many people here that they can complete a murder case in a country house dispute, and a good detective can remember all of them at a glance... I can't do it, I still need you to introduce and analyze it.”

"Old Hu has a son and a daughter." Hu Xian did not match Ji Xun's tone, and took the initiative to say, "My daughter is me. I usually work in Ning City and don't come back often; my son is Hu Zheng. He is 36 years old and the one in front is standing tall. A man with a beer belly."

Ji Xun found this man.

He has a plain appearance and a flushed face. I don't know if he drank too much wine or something. He also raises his voice in broad daylight, showing a crazy attitude of pointing out the country.

By the way, he added in his heart, Hu Xian, 28 years old.

"He's married and the child is seven years old, a boy."

Ji Xun also met, there was a woman next to Hu Zheng's left hand, with a pointed chin, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a typical Internet celebrity face. She was holding a crying little boy in her arms. Hu Zheng's wife and son.

"My wife's brother is here too."

No need to ask, the man standing next to the face of the Internet celebrity, with hair so shiny and shiny with pomade, that his feet would slip when flies landed on it, is my wife's brother.

"Hu Zheng's mother didn't come."

"Mom didn't come..." Ji Xun was keenly aware of the two meanings hidden in these words, "Hu Zheng's mother and Lao Hu divorced? Are you different mothers?"

"We left a long time ago. We are not close." Hu Yuan said lightly, and quickly changed the subject, "The one who takes care of Lao Hu's daily life now is the old lady sitting on the white single sofa."

Ji Xun saw the old lady, who was the one who came to the police station to pick up Lao Hu.

"A de facto marriage without a marriage certificate?" Ji Xun pondered the word "care".

Hu Yuan seemed to acquiesce, and continued: "The group of people behind the old lady are the old lady's natal family."

There were at least five or six people standing behind the old lady, all of them were men except for a middle-aged woman with a sharp face.

Hu Yuan briefly mentioned this aspect, and seemed to feel that there was no need to say more, so he turned to another person.

"The one wearing gold-rimmed glasses and carrying a briefcase in his hand is Lawyer Xiong. Lao Hu's will is handed over to Lawyer Xiong. He came home today to announce the contents of Lao Hu's will."

"Next to Lawyer Xiong, that young woman..."

Ji Xun saw it.

When almost everyone in the hall was angry, only this woman seemed to have conspicuous sadness.

She was also wearing a black dress, and she didn't say a word to the rampant disputes in the room. She stayed silently in the corner, with her hands in the pockets of her skirt, and only her thin white wrists were exposed, as if in this huge house. of a ghost.

"Green Emerald..." Ji Xun said.

He saw the beautiful jade bracelet on this woman's hand, and unexpectedly found that he had seen her before.

"Her name is Luo Sui." Hu Xian continued, "It's also related to Lao Hu."

A young woman has a relationship with an old man.

what kind of relationship?

Ji Xun and Hu Xian's eyes met, and they got the answer from each other's eyes.

"...Let me figure it out." Ji Xun sorted out his thoughts, "This old Hu is related to at least three women, one, Hu Zheng and your mother, one, the old lady who is currently sitting in the hall, and one , that young girl named Luo Sui... Judging from the numbers, this old man is really likable, but he is really good-looking."

After speaking, Ji Xun saw the photo of Lao Hu in the center of the hall.

A photo taken when I was young, about 40 years old, with an ordinary appearance.If he hadn't been thinner, he would have looked exactly like Hu Zheng with a beer belly in the hall.

"Well, judging from this photo, Hu Zheng is undoubtedly Lao Hu's biological child..." Ji Xun.

Huo Ranyin and Hu Yuan were speechless.

"This old man looked much better when he was old than when he was young. Why didn't he use an older photo? Now that this kind of photo is put up, it's quite confusing." Ji Xun said again.

"It is said that there is no photo of Lao Hu when he was old, so we can only find one when he was young." Hu Xian explained.

"How did you die?" Huo Ranyin finally spoke after hearing the troublesome relationship between the seven aunts and the eight aunts.

"He died of cancer." Hu Yuan said, "It says so on the certificate."

"What do you mean?" Huo Ranyin frowned.

"When Lao Hu died, I was in Ning City. When I rushed over, the body had already been cremated. I didn't see him for the last time. I only saw the cancer treatment list and the death certificate issued by the hospital. They said Lao Hu didn't want to I was worried, so I kept it from me... cremating the body early was because I was afraid that I would not be able to accept it, and it would make me sad to see it."

It sounds reasonable.

"What are they arguing about in there now?"

In fact, the old man died, and the remaining children and grandchildren gathered together to make a big noise, what else could there be?Nothing more than a question of inheritance.

"Do you think that the inheritance given to you is too much? Or is it too much given to the old lady?" Ji Xun guessed, thinking about it anyway, it is these kinds of answers, "Or think it is given to Huo Ran Because the brooch is too expensive?"

"I won't accept things." Huo Ranyin said simply, "You don't need to worry."

"...You will know when you go in."

After Hu Xian finished her cigarette, she extinguished the cigarette butt, threw it into the trash can at the door, pushed open the half-covered door, and walked into the room first, followed by Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin of course.

Their entry broke the dispute in the room and attracted everyone's attention.

"Who are you?" Hu Zheng was undoubtedly the first to speak. The red-faced middle-aged man looked at the two of them aggressively. At this moment, he acted as if he had already occupied this villa as a lair, and everyone who came in was his. Enemy, "What are you here for?"

"My surname is Huo." Huo Ranyin said, "Someone called me before..."

"It's Mr. Huo." Lawyer Xiong wearing gold-rimmed glasses hurriedly said, "I have communicated with you on the phone before, and Mr. Hu Kun left you a relic..."

"Bullshit!" Before Huo Ranyin could speak, Hu Zheng yelled, "I told you my dad was crazy when he made the will, and the will is not counted. If it's not your money, you'll pretend to be generous. Say you want to give this and that, let's join hands and eat our house!"

"The brooch must be given to them."

Unexpectedly, it was not Lawyer Xiong who refuted Hu Zheng, but Luo Sui who stayed in the corner like a ghost.Luo Sui's eyes were still fixed on the unknown void, but he said in an undeniable tone:

"Don't say 100 million, even if it is 1000 million, this brooch must be given to them. They saved Lao Hu's life."

"What are you, you dare to talk nonsense here!" In the noisy living room, a shrill female voice yelled, like sharp nails scraping a blackboard, "A shameless mistress can fool the old man, but not the old man!" Me! You took the old man's money, and went to keep a little boy named 'K', and you still want to take all the inheritance? Dreaming!"

"..." Ji Xun.

"..." Huo Ranyin.

There is too much information, and we can only grasp the key points at the moment:

All of Lao Hu's inheritance, not to his wife or children, but to his lover Luo Sui?

And, who is 'k'?
