sincerity of lies

There was a moment of silence.

Huo Ranyin pondered for a long time: "Brother."

Ji Xun: "Huh?"

Huo Ranyin: "Brother Mingsheng, I'll pick you up and send you to the car."

Ji Xun said lazily: "Why is it called, because you are younger than me?"

Huo Ranyin: "You know I'm younger than you? I'm 30 this year."

Ji Xun sneered unceremoniously: "30? 26. My captain, your age has been circulated in the team. Guess why you can become the captain at such a young age. Versions. Want to know which one is the most widely circulated?"

Huo Ranyin: "I don't want to."

Ji Xun: "The director is your father."

Huo Ranyin pointed out: "I have a different surname from the director."

"An illegitimate child," Ji Xun said, "The [-] o'clock dog blood drama always likes to perform this plot, doesn't it?"

Huo Ranyin said coolly: "I don't think you can die yet."

After finishing speaking, he patted his clean knee, stood up straight, dragged the middle-aged man with the scar beside him who had lost his resistance, and left.

Ji Xun ignored Huo Ranyin, he continued to lie down, closed his eyes and rested, before resting for 2 minutes, he heard familiar footsteps approaching from a distance, before he could open his eyes, he was picked up from the ground , Huo Ranyin's hair brushed his cheeks, a little itchy.

He tilted his head and exhaled into the hair against his face.

That fine hair tail is completely different from the master, with a deep obedience spirit, rising and falling with his breath.

Huo Ranyin felt it, and glanced at him: "Itchy?"

Then she pulled her hand out and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Well--

Maybe it can't be said that it is completely different, and the other party also has a little obedience deep in his heart.

After all, he was called the police brother, but he still came to help.

Ji Xun thought that he was stuffed into the passenger seat, and a middle-aged man with a scar was lying in the back compartment. Huo Ranyin turned to the driver's seat by himself, and when he started the car, he said, "You have a serious psychological problem. See a doctor?"

"We see each other three times a week, taking medicine one more meal than eating." Ji Xun said wearily, "Is that enough?"

Huo Ranyin didn't speak any more, as soon as he stepped on the accelerator, the car drove out smoothly.

After resting against the car window for a while, Ji Xun asked, "Do you have a pen and paper?"

Huo Ranyin looked ahead, took his chin and tapped the glove box.

Ji Xun opened the box, and there were these regular supplies in it, everything was neat and tidy, and Huo Ranyin packed things with obsessive-compulsive meticulousness.He took out a pen and paper, and began to draw a sketch: "The person in the rear compartment is not someone who escaped from the KTV. The one who escaped was a yellow-haired man wearing a famous brand. I followed the yellow-haired man to the spot just now. This man suddenly came out and threatened me with a knife." , I fought with him, and the yellow hair took this opportunity to escape."

"Just him?"

"Ah."

"How do you explain the soot at the scene? The people in the rear compartment didn't have cigarettes on them."

Ji Xun paused: "What soot?"

"To the left, southeast, and three steps away from where you were fighting, the soot that fell on the ground." Huo Ranyin's words are clear, "the amount of soot is not much, it should burn two-thirds of a cigarette, and someone is standing there smoking Smoked almost one cigarette. The brand of the cigarette is Silver Double Lion."

"Holmes Huo, I'm sorry, I've admired you for a long time." Ji Xun almost clasped his fists in salute.

"Do you think I'm joking with you?" Huo Ranyin smiled softly, "Or do you think that you are the only smart person in the world, and the others are either deaf or blind, or deaf and blind?"

Without waiting for Ji Xun to speak, he continued:

"Yin Shuangshi is a popular cigarette brand in the coastal area. Because of its mellow taste and the smell of nuts when lit, this brand of cigarettes is very easy to identify."

"When I arrived at the scene, there was still an obvious smell of nuts in the alleyway. Maintaining this level of smell outdoors with smooth air convection is enough to prove that the other party had just left the scene for less than a minute."

Huo Ranyin's voice turned cold.

"Ji Xun, you concealed a person who appeared and then left."

"Oh, Team Huo's analysis makes sense." Ji Xun said, "Then Team Huo wants to take me back to the police station for a trial. It just happens to take two suspects back in one car, which saves fuel."

"Don't you want to explain?" Huo Ranyin said.

"There's nothing to explain, the logic fits perfectly, so give me some applause." Ji Xun casually slapped his notebook twice, and gave him encouragement, "But correct me, I never think I'm great, and Team Huo better not think I'm great either. Otherwise sooner or later you'll be disappointed—oh, well."

Ji Xun stopped drawing in his hand.

The rustling sound of the nibs rubbing against the paper that filled the carriage finally stopped, and the book was handed back to the glove box. Huo Ranyin took a look at the book before closing it. It was a full-body portrait of the suspect.

The drawing is very careful, the figure, appearance, clothing, characteristics, hair color, all are drawn, and there is a brief analysis of the suspect by Ji Xun next to it, which can be used to find out.

Huo Ranyin parked the car on the side of the road, opened the door and walked down.

Ji Xun was paralyzed on the passenger seat, too lazy to move, and it didn't matter what Huo Ranyin was doing.

A few minutes later, the other party came back with two drinks, and one was handed to him: "Here."

Ji Xun took a look, his eyebrows twitched and flicked away: "What is this, give a date with a stick?"

"It's kind of an apology." Huo Ranyin put the cup of hot drink in the water cup holder in the car, "There are indeed doubts at the scene, I maintain my point of view, you told some lies in this matter. But the same, you also Great leads - you're not a suspect."

"Thank you, Captain Huo, for your insight."

"You're welcome, basic operation." Huo Ranyin restarted the car, "Don't wrong a good person, and don't let a bad person go."

"What if good and bad are mixed?"

"Then let's see how bad he is." Huo Ranyin glanced at Ji Xun, "No matter how cunning a criminal is, even if he can lie for a while, he will reveal his true colors in time."

"Time does determine many things." Ji Xun echoed casually.

"It's not the time that decides, but the people who tirelessly dig out the truth in the time." Huo Ranyin's tone was cold.

"The above words imply something." Ji Xun said with great interest, "Captain Huo, since you first met me, you have had a preconceived opinion about me, am I right?"

"That's right." Huo Ranyin admitted frankly.

"Then I might as well ask openly and honestly: From the beginning to now, we have had a lot of contact, and you probably never think that I am a good person—then why is your attitude towards me getting better and better?"

"Because I'm smart."

"...?"

Ji Xun thought he had heard it wrong, but of course he was right, Huo Ranyin still said in a calm tone:

"First, being bad doesn't affect your ability to investigate the case; second, it's because you are bad that I approach you to find out why you caught you, and then..."

Huo Ranyin paused on purpose.

Ji Xun continued: "Then bring me to justice?"

"No." Huo Ranyin's answer was unexpected.

There was a red light in front of him, he stopped, pulled the handbrake, and after controlling the vehicle, he put his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head and smiled at Ji Xun.The neon light by the roadside hit his face, and the mole under his eyes shone in the light, adding charm to this smile:

"Threat you first, use you, squeeze out your remaining value, and then bring you to justice."

Ji Xun laughed lowly.

He picked up the drink that Huo Ranyin bought, and took a sip. It was hot milk. The mellow and sweet taste lingered on his taste buds, just like the conversation tonight.

Until this moment, he finally became interested in Huo Ranyin.

He leaned against the window for a while, catching a trace of drowsiness in the light vibration of the vehicle, that drowsiness was always like a naughty child, playing hide-and-seek with him every day: "Tell me about Tang Jinglong."

"The ID card and bank card that Tang Jinglong used to rent a house in Lizhu Community belonged to Tang Zhongde. According to the news from the household registration office, Tang Zhongde is 63 years old this year. I bought his ID card and bank card from Tang Zhongde."

Huo Ranyin began to narrate slowly.

"In this bank card, in addition to the rent of the Lizhu Community, there is also a transaction that you will be interested in. During 2014 and 2015, he made two payments to Lu Danying's account, each 15, a total of 30. Wan. Combined with what you said last time, Tang Jinglong is the person who directly handles Lu Danying's surrogacy to make money."

"Hmm." Ji Xun was indifferent, thinking about the blue and white thermos that Tang Jinglong and Lu Danying shared, "I don't need to talk about the things I almost guessed. Is there anything else? It is impossible for Tang Jinglong's family to find nothing at all." Bar."

"There is a hidden safe in Tang Jinglong's house." Huo Ranyin said.

"Well... I guess there won't be any direct and conclusive evidence in the safe, otherwise Team Huo wouldn't have come to find me at night without hesitation."

"business card."

"what?"

"The safe contains business cards."

"One piece?"

"There are several boxes, and the boxes are neatly placed."

"Ha..." Ji Xun thought for a while, "It's a bit unexpected, but it's not too unexpected. Tang Jinglong is a sales representative. For him, the most valuable thing is his contacts, so it's not surprising to store his business cards properly. Are there any more? "

"There is another unique thing." Huo Ranyin said, "But our exchange is over."

"Don't worry, talk more, there is a lot of meat to talk about." Ji Xun persuaded.

"No, unless you change your mind."

"Okay, I've changed my mind." Ji Xun answered quickly.

"..." Huo Ranyin looked at him in surprise, "Really change, why?"

"There are many reasons. For example, the people's police are the most reliable; they are too lazy to spend a lot of energy on investigations; if we cooperate, we will benefit from both sides, but we will suffer from both—these can all be reasons for cooperation. But is it the most real reason?" Ji Xun pursed his lips. Milk, "with you, not tight."

"I was a policeman in the past, and I really had to abide by the law, follow the morality, and improve my quality, but I am no longer a policeman..."

"I am always troubled by my friends who think I am an upright, righteous and good person."

At this point in the conversation, the two reached a basic agreement, so Huo Ranyin said the "unique thing": "A finely crafted wooden craft boat, on board is a string of custom-made copper coins strung together with red strings. "Zhouhang Shunji" is engraved on one side with "Feng Ding Bo Ping".

Ji Xun thought for a moment, then played around with his taste: "It's about money."

"What do you mean?" Huo Ranyin frowned.

"At first glance, you can tell that Captain Huo is a staunch materialist. He never burns incense and worships Buddha." Ji Xun said with a smile. , a custom along the southern coast. There are boats and boats, and they also pray for safety and prosperity, and the directionality is quite obvious."

"Is it related to a cult?"

"There is no direction for now." Ji Xun shrugged, "It is very popular in the southern coast to hang money. It can only be said that it is a bit strange for Tang Jinglong, a medical professional, to make a boat, a flight to Shunji, Feng Ding Bo Ping, and I feel that the wrong way to pray."

It was supposed to strike while the iron was hot and talk about Tang Jinglong's clues, but there was not enough distance left, and the police station was far away.

Ji Xun stopped talking, and when the car stopped at the gate of the police station, he said, "Let's break up here, I'll take a taxi and go home."

Huo Ranyin: "Wait for a few minutes, I will see you off later."

Ji Xun jokingly said: "Captain Huo, open your eyes wide, the person standing in front of you is a 29-year-old adult man who is as tall as you, not nine years old, not afraid of the dark or ghosts, no need to cling to your father's arm to walk sleep at night."

"You were following poison at night. I don't want to wave goodbye now and seal the scene tomorrow." Huo Ranyin said, "I will send anyone who is in front of me back."

Ji Xun thought for a moment, then shrugged: "It's up to you."

Huo Ranyin led someone in, but Ji Xun didn't follow, and sat down directly in the lobby of the police station, took out his mobile phone and played games, within 2 minutes, an acquaintance, Tan Mingjiu, turned out at the end of the corridor.

Ji Xun just met this guy's eyes, this guy is like a sunflower seeing the sun, and then it shines brightly.

He came to Ji Xun with a bright face, sat down by himself without saying hello, and said mysteriously, "The captain and Team Teng from the Security Brigade are talking."

Ji Xun: "Oh."

Tan Mingjiu: "Aren't you curious what they said?"

Ji Xun meant: "What did they say?"

Tan Mingjiu's voice immediately dropped an octave: "It has something to do with the video recorded by a law enforcement recorder tonight."

Ji Xun's heart skipped a beat, knowing what Tan Mingjiu wanted to say.

He squinted at the other party and didn't answer.

Tan Mingjiu didn't need Ji Xun to answer the call, and happily answered by himself: "There are my buddies in the team going to Liangjingjing to be on duty tonight. Everyone is a veteran. Everyone took a look at that short video."

He smiled, full of admiration, and gave Ji Xun a thumbs up:

"High, really high, really high."

"Is it that high?" Ji Xun looked behind Tan Mingjiu.

"Yes! Hugging left and right, both men and women can eat, this is not high enough, what is high enough?" Tan Mingjiu said.

"Where did you see that I take all men and women?"

Tan Mingjiu patted his thigh: "Hey, let's not talk about Qingqing, she has her stomach full. Just at night, you and the captain folded your legs side by side, as if they were glued together with glue. Give me Said you didn't eat? I always thought that the captain was an ice cube, but at critical moments, he can also be as enthusiastic as fire!"

"..."

Ji Xun patted Tan Mingjiu on the shoulder and pointed backward.

Tan Mingjiu turned around in a daze: "Why?"

Huo Ranyin watched him quietly from behind.
