sincerity of lies

For Tan Mingjiu, the immediate consequence of gossip about his boss behind his back was that his boss listened to it face to face, that is, he had to stay and work overtime when he was supposed to pack up and go home to sleep, and cooperated with the security brigade to interrogate the Jingjingjing KTV crowd who had just been brought back. And dig out some news about Tang Jinglong from their mouths.

Tan Mingjiu wailed on the spot, crying with his head on the ground: "Huo team, five days, five days, I haven't returned home before ten o'clock for five consecutive days, I finally got this opportunity today, Huo team, you really don't think about it anymore." What? Look at my dark circles, they are almost comparable to Ji Xun!"

"Don't touch porcelain." Ji Xun didn't look up, "I'm a real national treasure, you didn't wash your face in the morning, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and get to work." Huo Ranyin made a final decision.

After leaving the police station, Ji Xun got into Huo Ranyin's car again. The two of them had nothing to say, and continued to chat about Tang Jinglong.

It was still Huo Ranyin who spoke.

"According to Rao Fangjie's account, the last time she saw Tang Jinglong was at six o'clock in the evening on January 1. The police investigated Tang Jinglong's subsequent whereabouts that day, and Tang Jinglong went to Xinglin Road Museum to participate in a medical exchange meeting."

Ning City Museum is a newly developed area on the outskirts of Ning City, used for various business gatherings and exhibitions.It has not been completely developed yet, and there are many construction sites under construction. At present, except for the exhibition and party time, there are few people there.

The exchange meeting started at 19:7 p.m. on the [-]th, and Tang Jinglong arrived on time.

Because Tang Jinglong participated in the exchange meeting with one arm hanging, all the participants were deeply impressed by Tang Jinglong. For the convenience of Tang Jinglong, who was not very active for the next month, when he handed Tang Jinglong his business card, he called Tang Jinglong and saved his mobile phone number directly. Enter Tang Jinglong's cell phone.

Therefore, during the two hours of the exchange meeting held from 19:00 to 21:00 that night, Tang Jinglong’s number received nearly a hundred calls. Pushing forward, the average number of calls received per day ranged from thirty to forty to as many as Then sixty or seventy passes, it is difficult to investigate suspicious numbers.

"However, during our visit, we discovered that Tang Jinglong had an argument with someone that night."

"with who?"

"The dispute happened in the toilet, there was no camera, and the passers-by who heard it didn't pay attention, they just heard a vague sentence, 'You agreed to give me the money, where is the money?'"

"Why, have you been blackmailed?" Ji Xun whistled, "Considering all kinds of little secrets about Tang Jinglong, it is quite normal for him to be blackmailed."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Huo Ranyin was noncommittal.

"When the exchange meeting was about to end, the organizer proposed to send Tang Jinglong home directly, but Tang Jinglong declined. After that, Tang Jinglong left early."

It was 20:55 at that time, and at 20:58, the camera of an ATM machine near the exchange meeting took a picture of Tang Jinglong withdrawing money, the bank checked the bill, and Tang Jinglong took out a sum of 1 yuan.

At 21:02, the camera at the intersection where the ATM machine was located captured the last figure of Tang Jinglong.

"Tang Jinglong's mobile phone was found in a trash can near the exchange meeting, and the murderer directly discarded Tang Jinglong's mobile phone. The shortest time to drive from the exchange meeting to Wushan was three hours. Tang Jinglong's arm was broken, no matter whether he brought Tang Jinglong alive to Wushan Whether to bring the dead Tang Jinglong to Wushan, we need transportation.”

"In other words, not counting the time when the murderer killed and dismembered the body, but simply counting the time he drove the vehicle, the first time the murderer appeared on Wushan surveillance was at 20:00 on the 02th."

"What's the terrain like near the museum?" Ji asked.

"The museum is located at the intersection of Xinglin Road. It is directly opposite to an unfinished building. When there is an exhibition in the museum, many people will choose to park there to avoid charging. The monitoring of this place has dead ends. There are also many construction sites around the poop building that are under construction or suspended." Huo Ranyin said.

"I remember that although Wushan is relatively remote, there are surveillance cameras on the road, right?" Ji Xun thought for a while and asked again.

"That's right, all the roads leading to Wushan have been monitored. There is no monitoring blind spot here. No matter how the murderer transports Tang Jinglong to Wushan, the murderer will definitely appear in the surveillance. Now the bureau has investigated the situation on the 20th. After 00:02, the Wushan road monitoring screens were checked one by one, looking for suspicious persons and vehicles. It’s just that the amount of work here is not small, and it will take a certain amount of time to get the results.”

Another red light ahead.

Huo Ranyin parked the car, pulled up the handbrake, and continued: "The body has already entered the forensic room, and the forensic doctor found some small and broken things in the woven and plastic bags that contained the body parts."

"Oh? What?"

Ji Xun asked casually, closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the end of the journey home, while listening to Huo Ranyin say:

"There were wood chips at the incisions of the body parts, one of them was stained with some blue paint, there were fragments of patterned mosaic tiles in the plastic bag, and the bag was stained with red and gold powder."

"What else?" Ji Xun asked casually, he relaxed his whole body, and his whole body fit into the seat.

Huo Ranyin glanced at the person through the rearview mirror, and put down the back of the seat, making it easier for Ji Xun to lie flat.

"Thank you." Ji Xun said vaguely.

"The murderer specifically targeted the joints of the human body, and his technique was crisp and neat. He should have mastered the corresponding knowledge of the human body and was familiar with the structure of the human body; at the same time, based on the wound marks, he used tools such as chainsaws when analyzing the murderer's body. This is also a direction for investigation." Huo Ranyin finished the last clue and asked Ji Xun, "What do you think?"

"Me? Me..."

It was late at night, and I woke up at [-]:[-] this morning. From rushing to the Lizhu Community and being caught by Huo Ranyin, to investigating the blue peacock and bumping into Huo Ranyin again, there was another chase action scene, and I was forced to meet an old friend, recalling Remembering things that I don’t want to recall, I have really experienced a lot.

Ji Xun's mind couldn't turn anymore.

He even felt a trace of drowsiness spreading from all directions, weaving into a web and engulfing his brain.

This is really rare.

He hasn't felt this normal feeling of lying down and resting for almost three years.

He decided to cherish the hard-won opportunity, didn't use his brain, and started talking nonsense:

"I think... um... the murderer is a construction worker, or the dismemberment site is at a construction site, with paint sawdust and a chainsaw. The directionality is too obvious."

"So what about the gold powder and the patterned mosaic tiles? Which of these two things will appear on the construction site?" Huo Ranyin asked back, he pondered for a while, and said, "The patterned mosaic tiles have a strong style of the times, how about considering the old buildings."

"It makes sense." Ji Xun had no position, like a weed on the wall, swaying towards Huo Ranyin, "So in the old building, the corpse was dismembered with the construction worker's chainsaw."

Huo Ranyin said, "Are you talking seriously?"

"I'm not serious anymore." Ji Xun was unhappy, "I'm not serious about guessing?"

"..." Huo Ranyin.

"Look, I'm guessing boldly, but you are careful to prove it. We learn from each other's strengths and make up for each other's weaknesses."

After a while of silence, Ji Xun heard a snort.

Huo Ranyin said, "Here we are."

"It's pretty fast." Ji Xun opened his eyes, and Shi Shiran opened the car door, "Then goodbye..."

Halfway through his speech, his voice suddenly stopped.

What appeared in his field of vision was by no means the familiar scenery of the familiar neighborhood. He was in front of a completely unfamiliar old five-story building. A few steps away, a warbler who was also wearing a tight short skirt in winter, showing half of her breasts and white thighs, winked at him.

"Captain Huo." Ji Xun said, "You must have driven at the wrong place."

"It's not wrong. This is Zeng Peng's short-term rental house. It's still early. Before we send you back, let's see Zeng Peng first." Huo Ranyin took it for granted.

"Zeng Peng and Xi Lei have nothing to do with Tang Jinglong's case, right?" Ji asked.

"For now, it doesn't matter."

"Then you are here?"

"The exchange with Team Teng." Huo Ranyin, "He deleted the video of the law enforcement recorder, and I will give him a clue."

"But Tan Mingjiu knows it all, and everyone in the police force will know it tomorrow. It's meaningless to delete it or not, Captain Huo, you're at a loss." Ji Xun said.

"..."

"So give me any clues, go home early, go to bed early—" Ji Xun turned around, Huo Ranyin's cold hand stretched out from behind, stuck to his wrist and clasped five fingers together, Ji Xun felt that he was handcuffed .

"Captain Huo, don't be too gambler." Ji Xun said helplessly, "Since you're losing money, you should quickly fold your cards and stop the loss in time."

"It's a loss, it's a loss, you have to do what you promise." Huo Ranyin said lightly.

"Then you are busy, so I won't bother you?" Ji Xun thought for a while and said.

"You do it with me."

"...Don't you think I'm at a loss for doing this? So let's show off your integrity as a people's policeman," Ji Xun said.

"Compared with this sentence, I prefer another sentence: We must bear the same difficulties." Huo Ranyin was simple and direct, "You have two choices now, walk up with me, and I will carry you up."

Ji Xun looked at the sky, looked at the ground, and then looked around at the desolate and desolate surroundings. He was forced to accept the reality by force, and finally dragged his feet upstairs with Huo Ranyin.

The building is old and there is no elevator. The light bulbs in the corridors are on and off. Ji Xun really has no motivation. It seems that there are also a pair of eyes in the back of the head.

It's a pity that he has shown the appearance of this disabled person. Huo Ranyin, who was walking in front with his hands in his pockets, still has a firm heart, and he still didn't say anything to let him go home and rest first.

Helpless, Ji Xun had nothing to say: "What clues are there in Zeng Peng?"

Huo Ranyin: "Poison."

Ji Xun: "Ah..."

Huo Ranyin: "Why, I didn't find it before, so I'm surprised?"

"I'm really surprised." Ji Xun said, "He doesn't look like a drug addict."

"He doesn't smoke, but smokes."

"Where did you see it?" Ji Xun just finished asking, the black bag that Zeng Peng held when he met that day flashed through his mind, and he stuck out his tongue quietly for his blindness.

"First, when I met you at the Raccoon Bar, the anti-narcotics team was stalking the bar, proving that there was a drug trade in that area. The distance between the Dolphin Bar and the Raccoon Bar is 200 meters in a straight line, and they are radiating within their trading range."

"Second, Zeng Peng dropped out of school, a rural person, his parents died early, he has no education and skills to get a high-paying job, and he has no family to support him. How did he spend a lot of money to buy a house in a short period of time?

"Third, the last time I was asked, Zeng Peng confessed to sneaking into Xi Lei's residence to steal money on the day of the crime. He explained to the police that after buying a house, his savings were exhausted, and a tax was needed to obtain the certificate, so he secretly took it. Taxes for money—it’s illogical at all. The secret of stealing is because he knows what he’s doing is unreasonable and illegal, and he can’t tell his girlfriend.”

After Huo Ranyin finished the analysis, Zeng Peng's residence was in front of him.

Huo Ranyin raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After knocking twice, the person inside opened the door, and Zeng Peng appeared.

I haven't seen him for a day, and Zeng Peng, who came out of the detention center in good condition, did not know what he met. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen.

When he opened the door and saw Huo Ranyin and Ji Xun, he tried hard to close the door again.

But Huo Ranyin was faster than Zeng Peng, and at the same time exerted strength to push the door completely open.

Pushed by this force, Zeng Peng staggered, turned back and ran towards the window, opened the window and stepped up, and was immediately grabbed by Huo Ranyin, pulling his elbow to the ground.

Everything happened between the ups and downs of the rabbit.

With his hands in his pockets, Ji Xun stood motionless at the door. He hadn't finished yawning since Zeng Peng opened the door, and still had his tail in his mouth.

After a long while, he raised his hand, pressed his eyes that were tearing physiologically due to sleepiness, and said weakly to Huo Ranyin:

"What to stop, the third floor, you should let him jump down, break an arm and half a leg, stay in bed for the next three months, be there whenever you see him, and answer any questions you ask. You press him now, Alright, the other party hastened to lie down at the gate of the bureau tomorrow, revealing the scars on his face and body, and sue you for violent law enforcement, and then ran away without a trace, where are you going to arrest him go?"

There was an eerie silence.

The remaining two people all looked at Ji Xun, and at the same time in their hearts, they gently slid a line of words:

is a cruel man.

Chapter 20 There are two types of gamblers, those who don’t believe they will lose, and those who think they can afford to lose.

After Ji Xun finished speaking, he saw that the two of them were motionless, with confusion on their faces: "Why, you plan to maintain this posture to chat and talk heart to heart, aren't you tired?"

Huo Ranyin stood up and pulled Zeng Peng up from the ground.

Zeng Peng lowered his head, his messy hair covered his eyes, and made the scars on his face more prominent. Someone punched him hard on his left cheek, and it swelled up, as if he had a quail egg in his mouth. In his mouth: "I didn't do anything wrong yesterday, why did the two policemen come to my kennel?

"You didn't do anything wrong, what are you doing so fast? You're so excited that you want to jump off the building. Life is too boring. Do you want to jump and have fun?" Ji Xun stepped into the room and closed the door, "Correct me a little more, I'm not a policeman, but I am a man who has worked hard and done what is right. A model citizen who cooperates with the police."

After he finished speaking, he felt Huo Ranyin's eyes lightly fall on his face.

If he wasn't really too tired tonight, he could make a face for Huo Ranyin, and then he heard Huo Ranyin ask Zeng Peng directly: "Where is the poison hidden?"

Zeng Peng suddenly raised his head!

His gloomy eyes looked at Huo Ranyin from under his messy hair: "Officer, I don't know what you're talking about..."

Not only Zeng Peng, but also Ji Xun whistled in his heart.

Wow.

The resoluteness of the second new captain is really not covered.

And he is so not afraid to scare the snake, because he already has a plan in mind?

Whatever Zeng Peng said or did would not affect Huo Ranyin's judgment.He took out the handcuffs, handcuffed Zeng Peng, and looked around the simple one-bedroom apartment inch by inch: "The poison is in your room. It is hidden in..."

At this moment, the door was knocked suddenly.

"knock."

"knock."

"knock."

A slow, stagnant, lonely knock on the door.

The knock on the door stopped the activities of several people in the room. They looked at the door, and there was an unknown person outside the door.

After a while, Huo Ranyin slightly shook his chin at Ji Xun.

Ji Xun saw what Huo Ranyin meant, he and Huo Ranyin exchanged places, he looked at Zeng Peng, Huo Ranyin came to the door, his hand was on the doorknob, with a slight force on his wrist, the doorknob was pressed down... …

With a "snap", the door opened.

A person no one expected appeared at the door. It was an old man with a stooped back and plain clothes, square-rimmed glasses.

Ji Xun met him once, at Xi Lei's funeral, his surname was Cheng, Teacher Cheng.

At the door, Huo Ranyin and Teacher Cheng, who were facing each other, seemed surprised.

Teacher Cheng: "You are..."

Ji Xun suddenly stepped forward, blocking Zeng Peng's handcuffed wrist.He smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, we are friends of Zeng Peng and Xi Lei."

"You know me?" Teacher Cheng said unexpectedly.

"I saw you at Xi Lei's funeral. I heard from everyone that you bought Xi Lei's tombstone." Ji Xun said.

Huo Ranyin's heart skipped a beat.

He retreated from the door to Zeng Peng's side, under the cover of Ji Xun, took the key to unlock Zeng Peng's handcuffs, and removed the handcuffs from Zeng Peng's hands. During the whole process, Zeng Peng didn't say a word and was very cooperative. Obviously, he didn't want Xi Lei's relatives to see him in a mess.

This is good.

Proof that he still has self-respect and shame.

Ji Xun took two steps forward, glanced at Teacher Cheng, and saw the pharmacy bag in Teacher Cheng's hand, which contained external medicines such as traumatic medicine and gauze.

The things are for Zeng Peng.

The pharmacy is the pharmacy down the street.

There are also two disposable cups on the table.

The reason why Zeng Peng opened the door unpreparedly just now was because he thought it was Mr. Cheng who knocked on the door outside - before they came, they were together.

"Leilei, alas..." the old man sighed, and the wrinkles on his face became more wrinkled.

"By the way, don't you know Mr. Cheng's name yet?" Ji Xun said, "Teacher Cheng is sitting down. The medicine is for Zeng Peng, right? Why did you come to Zeng Peng's place? I haven't heard Zeng Peng mention knowing you before."

"I'll name one Zheng. Come here, child, and I'll prescribe the medicine for you." Cheng Zheng didn't refuse, sat down on the sofa, first greeted Zeng Peng, and then said to Ji Xun, "It's a long story. Since you are his friends, then join me in persuading him. When people die, they can rest in the ground, so how can they dig graves and rob graves?"

"Leilei told me that she wanted to be buried in Ningshi." Zeng Peng mumbled, "I wrote to her parents from the detention center before the funeral. They waited for me to come out for the funeral, and I took care of everything."

"..."

have to.Ji Xun understood.The reason why this brother has trouble moving is because he wanted to hold a funeral for Xi Lei in Ning City and failed to achieve his goal, so as soon as he got out of the detention center, he hurried to Xi Lei's hometown to prepare for Xi Lei's funeral. Move the grave to see Xi Lei's wish during her lifetime.

Still a seed of infatuation.

Cheng Zheng showed helplessness.He looked like a gloomy old man, raised his brows and eyes, and said calmly: "We all know your heart for Lei Lei. Lei Lei has a boyfriend like you, and we are all happy for her. You intend to fulfill Lei Lei's wish It's good, but we must also be considerate of the thoughts of Lei Lei's family. Her family also wants to see her in a nearby place and accompany her. Besides, the thoughts of young people are uncertain. Lei Lei used to think this way, but now , you can say that she doesn't want to go back to the small village at all..."

Parents who send black-haired people to white-haired people are filial.

These arguments are too familiar, and Ji Xun has already completed the rest of the words for the teacher in his heart.

But the teacher said something beyond Ji Xun's expectation.

"Look at the village where she grew up, and the scenery she is familiar with?"

Zeng Peng didn't answer.

No one can answer.

Those who can answer have been buried in the ground.

"It's all like this, let's accept it. Everyone has their own destiny. Leilei is a good child, but this is her destiny." The teacher sighed a long breath, and looked at Zeng Peng with gentle eyes through square-frame glasses. Caressing Zeng Peng's shoulder, "The house you bought with Leilei's name on it needs to be taken back. It is a lot of money, and it is the capital for you to settle down in this city. Leilei will be happy after you live a happy life. , she is such a temperament for others."

After finishing what should be said, the teacher took the medicine out of the bag and bandaged Zeng Peng.

Zeng Peng's injury was more severe than it appeared on the outside. After all, digging graves, let alone a closed village, would be unacceptable to anyone.

Ji Xun saw Huo Ranyin looking at Cheng Zheng's hand. The other party bandaged it very professionally. When applying medicated oil to Zeng Peng, he rolled up a part of his sleeve, revealing his strong wrist with strong veins.

This figure is not like the old and frail appearance.

Ji Xun glanced at Cheng Zheng's face again, the teacher was still depressed, it was not due to age or physical factors.It's just the tiredness shown by a person who has accepted the reality and resigned himself to his fate without heart.

While bandaging, Cheng Zheng asked again: "What are your plans next?"

"I'm going to leave." Zeng Peng, who hadn't looked at Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin since the teacher came in, couldn't help sneaking a glance at the two when he said this, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, " I will leave this city after I settle the matter with Leilei. I will go back to my hometown, where I still have relatives and friends.”

Ji Xun remained silent, and Huo Ranyin also remained silent.

Since the handcuffs were not exposed to the teacher at the beginning, they will keep Zeng Peng's face to Xi Lei's relatives to the end.

Only the teacher was talking: "Since you are leaving Ning City, you shouldn't be obsessed with moving Lei Lei to her grave. After you leave, what will happen to Lei Lei who moved to Ning City? Every Qingming, who will come to see her? When will you leave?" ?”

Zeng Peng bowed his head, but he didn't know either.

Huo Ranyin reversed his previous taciturn attitude, and continued: "Maybe in the next year, after all, the Chinese New Year is almost here, and there were a lot of chores before the year, so we have to sort it out before we talk about it."

"If you don't have a reunion with anyone this year, you can go to the village to celebrate the New Year. It just so happens that we have all the goods for the New Year." Cheng Zhengdao.

"When did Teacher Cheng buy the New Year's goods?" Huo Ranyin spoke again, "I heard from Zeng Peng that Xi Lei's funeral is on the 23rd, and you bought the New Year's goods before the 23rd."

"That's right, it happened on the 18th. It happened that day that the Luo Hansong from the village was pulled to Laining City and sold to the company in exchange for some money for the New Year." Cheng Zheng said.

"Did you go back on the 18th? It's not a short distance from Ningshi to Xi Lei's hometown. Is it tiring to go back and forth that day?"

"It's a four-hour drive, and we have to sell Luo Hansong and buy new year's goods. How can we go back and forth on the same day." The teacher said with a smile, "There is no chance to come to Ningshi in the village all year round. Everyone lives in Ningshi. After a day, I went back after dinner on the night of the 19th. There is a restaurant on Xingchun Road, which is cheap and has a lot of food. A large group of us ate there, and it cost a little more than 700.”

"Hmm." Huo Ranyin responded.

Ji Xun could feel that Huo Ran was suspicious of Cheng Zheng, and he also felt that Cheng Zheng was suspicious. This person was Xi Lei's teacher, and he bought a tombstone for Xi Lei. He obviously had deep feelings for Xi Lei and had sufficient motives for committing the crime.In addition, the most interesting thing is that when Huo Ranyin never revealed his identity as a policeman, Huo Ranyin's aggressive questioning attitude did not cause Cheng Zheng to reject him. Maybe the teacher has a good temper and patience?

"Xiao Zeng, how do you think about going to the village this year for Chinese New Year?" Cheng Zheng said again.

"I don't know." Zeng Peng's lips moved, "Let me think again."

Cheng Zheng left here, Huo Ranyin stood at the upstairs window and looked out, and saw Cheng Zheng getting into a gray car with the license plate number NS4455SN.

Ji Xun said to Zeng Peng: "People are leaving too. Have you thought about it? If you confess, you will be lenient, but if you resist, you will be strict. Both of us have come here. Even if your house is demolished, we will hide you." Find out the toxic poison, otherwise, will I be worthy of my brain cells that died due to lack of sleep?"

Zeng Peng remained silent, as if Cheng Zheng had also taken away his tongue when he left. He sat on the sofa, silent and indifferent like a statue.

Just as Ji Xun was thinking about how to pry open the shell, Huo Ranyin spoke.

His gaze came in from the window sill, and he didn't move, he was still leaning against the window: "There are two types of gamblers, one never thinks that he will lose, and when the loss is imminent, he goes crazy; the other knows that he will lose. , I also thought that I was ready to lose. Zeng Peng, you are the second type. You foresee that you will be arrested, and you think you can afford to lose. Unfortunately, this gamble not only takes away your foresight, but also takes away your absolute confidence. Something you don't want to lose."

A sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he sneered:

"31 minutes after you stole the money and left, Xi Lei came home, and then the murderer arrived. You were only a few hours away from saving your girlfriend's life; you put all your eggs in one basket to kill Tang Jinglong, and you missed her girlfriend's funeral and her last On the one hand. Every time you make a choice, your life slips two more steps into the abyss. You are ridiculous and pathetic."

The silent statue was cracked, and Huo Ranyin's words easily pierced Zeng Peng's shell, and he let out a sob like a lone wolf roaring.

He received retribution, and retribution followed, scarier than the worst nightmare he'd ever had.

"What do you know, I just want a house with Lei Lei's name on it, so that we can stay in our home in Ning City! I have no education, no skills, what else can I do besides selling drugs! What can I do to be here? Damn, it's so fucking beautiful, so fucking impersonal, and doesn't care about buying a house in a city like us foreigners at all!"

Zeng Peng's teeth chattered for a while, he was discouraged, put his head in his hands, and curled up on the sofa again.

"I realized this wish, and I worked hard to realize it..."

I have clearly achieved it, but why am I still at this point?

More than four years, thousands of days, all kinds of acquaintances and getting along with Xi Lei played in his mind frame by frame, like a revolving wheel with bright lights.

He met Xi Lei when he was working as a bartender, and Xi Lei was being harassed by drunken guests.

Xi Lei panicked and bumped into him while running away.

It may be that he just finished smoking and the toxicity is on his head, or it may be that every man has a dream of being a hero. After a dream, he lost his job, but someone knocked on the door of his humble shared house.He opened the door, and the rescued princess stood outside, waving to him shyly:

"Hi, my name is Xi Lei, thank you yesterday, I'm a nurse, I'm here to see your injury."

She stood and smiled, her eyes were bright and warm, like a sunflower growing against the sun.

He had had a good dream, but it didn't dissipate, but stayed by his side instead.The reality is coming one after another, the grotesque big city is still so grotesque, but a small area around him suddenly becomes solid, and he can clearly see the narrow path of his future:

Work, save money, buy a house, settle down, get married, have children.

He resigned from the bar and detoxified under the supervision of Lei Lei. During the detoxification, every night when he frequently shivered and had nightmares, he could feel Lei Lei hugging him, patting him on the back and comforting him. Tianming, every time.

He swore off drugs, and he did.

He found a new job as a car washer in a car wash shop. A car washer has a relatively high salary among the serious jobs he can find. Every time he comes back to the car, he is the one who washes the car most seriously. Sometimes the boss is happy and gives extra rewards He pays 200 yuan; sometimes the boss asks for more, and asks him to polish the shoes together.

He didn't dare to confront anyone.

He worked hard to make money, and he gave up all the money-spending hobbies he used to have, and he didn’t go out to dinner with his colleagues very often. Dinners cost money, and he knew that someone at home would prepare meals for him—even if there were no meals at home, he would cook them. There will be people rushing back to eat.

Later, by accident, Lei Lei was pregnant with a child.

That was three or four years ago. He hadn't given up drugs and worked for a while, and Lei Lei was still working as a nurse in Sunshine Hospital. Neither of them had much savings.

Everything is so practical, they have no money, no house, no time, he doesn't even have parents, his parents are long dead.If a child is born, there are only two options, let the child wander with them, and send the child back to Lei Lei's parents' home.

After a few days of their relative silence, Lei Lei went to the hospital to have an abortion.

White sheets, pungent disinfectant, Lei Lei lay on the hospital bed, her usual sunny and warm smile appeared sad for the first time, and he still remembered the coldness of Lei Lei's fingers in his palm.

"I finally walked out of the mountain village. No matter what, I will never go back, and I will not let my children go back... Let's buy a house here. I want to stay in Ningshi, and I want to be the leader here. people."

He said yes.

He worked harder and harder, and so did Lei Lei. Lei Lei continued to work after resting for less than half a month.But these seem to be useless. They work hard, and the housing prices in Ning City are also working hard. They are saving money every day, and they are trying to live as decently as possible. However, compared to housing prices and houses, everything is still so far away.

Later he found that list, the list of abortion in Sunshine Hospital.

The child is not his.

A conflict broke out between him and Lei Lei. He yelled unilaterally, raged, smashed things, and finally fell to the wall of the house.The white muffin bird in the cage looked at him suspiciously, and he suddenly wished that he was also a bird, so that he would naturally have a cage—a house that could house his whole life.

Finally, he felt Lei Lei coming over, and Lei Lei put her hand on his back, just like how he did it long, long ago when he was recovering from drugs.

He turned his head and saw Lei Lei's sad and blank face.

"Did that man force you?" he asked.

Lei Lei nodded, then shook her head again.After a long time, he heard Leilei say: "I got the money later, and after a while, we will have the money to buy a house."

He walked out of the rented house of the two of them, he wandered in this city that never accepted them, he wandered to the bar in the past, and saw friends from the past.Friends from the past came up to care about him, dragged him to drink, and finally gave him a wad of money.

This comes at a price.

What in this world has no price?

He wants a house, a school district room with Xi Lei's name on it, so that he can live in it with Xi Lei, get married and have children, and then bring up the children. His whole life will be so simple and ordinary.

How did it become like this.

He knew he would go in and be sentenced, but Leilei was innocent.

Why kill her?

Why did he finally buy a house and fulfill his wish, but he couldn't even see her for the last time?

It was Ji Xun's words that broke the stagnation in the room.Ji Xun took out a plum from the KTV fruit plate from his pocket and threw it into his mouth, chewed the plum meat and said, "Let's find a good lawyer."

Zeng Peng curled up like a baby, and said lightly: "It's pointless, I don't need it, just do whatever you like."

"Xi Lei needs to move her grave."

This recalled Zeng Peng's soul.

"what?"

"The brain is a good thing, don't look like it has already run away from home." Ji Xun commented, "You bought a house, you are the actual investor, this house actually belongs to you, and actually belongs to the country - because it is your drug trafficking It will be confiscated and put into the national treasury. But considering your current situation, as long as you are not sentenced to death with reprieve or death penalty in the trial, all your property will not be confiscated. If part of this house is your legal The property, the court will give you a certain return. The returned money means nothing to you, but to Xi Lei's parents? They have a son besides their daughter, which is still Xi Lei's wish during her lifetime. Do you think they will consider it? , will you be willing? ——And all of this requires you to find a good lawyer, so that you can make an agreement with Xi Lei's parents in advance and move Xi Lei to the grave in time."

Zeng Peng's stiff head turned around, his heart was pounding, his ashen face glowed with hope: "But I don't know a good lawyer..."

"I know. I can help you." Ji Xun said lightly, "But you have to pay the price."

There is a price, everything has a price.

"Zeng Peng, confess everything." Ji Xun said, "I will settle this matter."

There was a long silence.

"...the things are in the skirting line behind the bed in the room, and in the air conditioner casing of the wall-mounted air conditioner outside the house. I can tell the police all the uplines I have come into contact with, but you have to do what you say, and you have to let I've seen you do it all."
