sincerity of lies

Luo Sui left, and the meeting that was said to be a discussion but was actually a quarrel could not go on. Naturally, there was no conclusion about the brooch that Huo Ran was forced to give away.

"Do you think things are a bit strange?" After leaving the door, Ji asked Huo Ranyin.

"There are so many strange things." Huo Ranyin closed his eyes, "We met with Lao Hu twice, both times he was very energetic, but in less than a month, he died as soon as he said he was dead? Secondly, why did he have to To cremate the body before Hu Yuan arrives? Combined with the nature of Hu Yuan’s work, it’s always tempting to think about it.”

"But the hospital's death certificate did say that he died of acute complications caused by advanced brain cancer." Ji Xun slightly refuted the doubts raised by Huo Ranyin, "What Hu Yuan said—but if you want to come to the hospital, you won't be messed up." Issue a death certificate."

"En." Huo Ranyin nodded, agreeing with Ji Xun's point of view.

"Besides, I actually met Luo Sui once in the hospital." Ji Xun added, "At that time, she was pushing a man in a wheelchair. Aunt Jiang said that the man had cancer and was hospitalized. His name was Hu Kun."

"Then there's no problem." Huo Ranyin's brows relaxed.

"But Aunt Jiang said a little more..."

"..." Huo Ranyin gave Ji Xun a sideways glance.

"The other party is very frugal." Ji Xun finished panting, "If Luo Sui doesn't come, he won't be willing to eat, he won't be willing to wear clothes, he won't spend a dime, he would rather have biscuits and water, and when others can't see it, he will help two people. The quality of the food. It doesn’t look like the tyrannical old Hu who is not bad for money we saw before..."

"You met Luo Sui, but not Lao Hu?"

"At that time, the person was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a hat and facing away from me, and I didn't know Luo Sui, so of course I didn't expect that the other person would be someone I knew, so I ran up to take a look." Ji Xun explained.

"Think about it from another angle." Huo Ranyin, "It's not that Aunt Jiang is reluctant to eat, but Lao Hu is unwilling to eat. The treatment of terminal cancer is painful and desperate. Maybe he wants to get rid of it early, but he doesn't want to call the young A lover knows that he has a heart of liberation."

"Hmm..." Ji Xun felt that this statement made sense, but, "Huo Ranyin, recall, does Lao Hu have a red scar from surgery on the back of his neck?"

Huo Ranyin shook his head: "I don't know."

They are very confident in each other's memories, but in winter, Lao Hu wears a lot of sweaters with high collars, so it's hard to judge without taking off the collars.

"It's a bit strange, but it's not that strange." Ji Xun sighed, "I don't know the truth about the case of hiding the corpse in a Buddha statue. In novels, this is usually a standard plot of killing people who are afraid of being leaked."

"Want to stay and investigate?"

"Uh... Forget it, even if we really want to squeeze the labor force of our two seriously injured, there is still the matter of Ning City Health Hospital. Here, we should say hello to the police officers in Qin City and let them have some refreshments."

"Well, I'll write a statement refusing to accept the gift and give it to Hu Xian." Huo Ranyin.

They didn't go far, the villa was still behind, and of course Hu Xian was also behind.

Huo Ranyin quickly found Hu Yuan and explained his thoughts briefly.

Hu Xian's expression seemed a bit subtle: "Captain Huo...don't need to do this. In fact, I want to persuade you to accept this brooch. After all, this is my father's last wish."

"Sorry, but I have no reason to fulfill other people's wishes." Huo Ranyin.

"That's true." Hu Yuan smiled, "It's a pity that they are cheaper."

"If you don't want to take advantage of others, fight for it yourself. If you don't fight for it..." Huo Ranyin turned his head and saw Ji Xun who had nothing to do and stood behind him waiting for him.

The sky is like brushing ink, and it is darkened layer by layer.

It was bright on the ground, Ji Xun had nothing to do and stood leaning against a street lamp, playing with his mobile phone.

The overhead light fell on his low head, illuminating his fluffy hair.

If you don't fight for...

Huo Ranyin seemed to be talking to himself: "Then no one else can help you."

The declaration of renunciation of the gift was very simple, and it happened that Lawyer Xiong was still there. Under the guidance of the lawyer, Huo Ranyin quickly finished writing and signed it, and it was considered that he had escaped from the inheritance dispute involving his colleagues.

Then he returned to Ji Xun's side.

When Ji Xun saw Huo Ranyin coming back, he put the boring mobile phone into his pocket, and started chatting again: "Actually, I was still thinking about one thing just now."

"What's the matter?" Huo Ranyin.

"Old Hu must have some connection with you. I thought there would be some opportunity to test him during the visit to the Buddha statue, but I ended up staying in the hospital for 20 days, and I have no chance to come out again." Ji Xun said helplessly.

"You can still test Hu Yuan."

"Hmph, our colleague also has his own secrets..." Ji Xun recalled the scene of Hu Xian and the young man he had seen before.But how normal is it to have secrets?As long as there is a heart, the heart will hide its secrets.He went on to say, "You said I'm squatting by the side now, waiting until three o'clock in the middle of the night to climb the wall and enter the house to search for the relics of the deceased old man. Will you arrest me and take you to the police station?"

"You still want to climb the wall with one hand?"

"Looks like it is."

The two were chatting about things that were completely out of the question. Ji Xun waited for the taxi, but what arrived faster than the taxi was the notification tone of his mobile phone text message.

The mobile phone happened to be in the palm of Ji Xun. Ji Xun casually glanced at the banner of the mobile phone, and immediately concentrated on it.He read the text message twice, and then showed the screen to Huo Ranyin.

"Kidnapping."

"This time," Ji Xun, "we really can't leave for the time being."

Qinshi in the evening is colder than it is in the daytime, the light on the horizon is about to be received, and the darkness is about to move around in the four corners of the sky, and the daytime is being gradually eroded by the black liquid.Among them, the abandoned port of Qin City is the coldest place in Qin City. As far as the eye can see, it is barren, with only barren waves beating against the barren embankment.

Until a green car drove in here.

The car stopped, the headlights were still on, and the orange lights were like two long light-plastic corridors, piercing the dark boundary.

After a while, the car door opened, and Luo Sui got out of the car.

She stood alone in the wind, the wind that was still whistling just now had calmed down again, like a lover's hand, gently brushing her ragged long hair.

She knew this place...she always knew it.

Lao Hu always liked to come here before he was alive, but he never said anything about it.

Every time she asked, the other party always changed the subject lightly and touched her lips meaningfully.

Is that telling her to be cautious?

Perhaps not necessarily, she knew that Lao Hu had always liked her lips, she didn't know whether it was the color or the shape that pleased him, but since she realized it, her lips have become a place where she pays attention to maintenance and occasionally shows off.

Hu...

Hu...

Luo Sui walked in a trance, and as he walked, he bumped into a red shipping container.

She stopped.

There is a stone bench like an inkstone on the back of this box, and there are two round holes in front of it.

She opened the box and groped inside, "snap", the light came on.

Small wall lights illuminate everything in the box.

Wallpapers, blankets, tea sets, snacks, and all daily necessities are still there, quietly guarding in this small boundary waiting for their owners to come again.

But the master never appears again.

Luo Sui's nose was sour.

She bent down and sat inside, changed her shoes on the shoe-changing stool, and then slowly closed the door of the box...

"boom"

The world is gone, blocked out.

All that's left is this little bright case.

She was leaning here, with her head resting on the wallpaper. Since that day... the day Lao Hu passed away... the spirit that had been in a trance seemed to float and touch the shore...

She lay here quietly, motionless, if not for the rising and falling of her chest, she would have looked like a female corpse in a box.

Until a "swipe" sound!

"Swipe"

"Swipe"

"Brush-"

A series of voices sounded from behind the box. Luo Sui straightened up in confusion. She looked around the box and found that the sound was coming in continuously through the box wall. She suddenly became frightened. The box instantly turned into a confined and cramped space.

She hesitated and turned her head to look at the round hole in the box where she could spy on the world. Outside the round hole was a thick iron chain. It was a two-finger-thick iron chain, as if it had crawled over her eyes!

Someone is out there chaining this container!

She anxiously pushed the container door she had just closed with her hand, but the door was already firmly locked!

Then, the whole box suddenly shook.

Someone outside was dragging the whole box up with chains.

who is it?

who is it?

who is it?

"what--"

Horror made her scream.
