sincerity of lies

After sweeping the tomb, Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin did not part ways with Yu Cisheng.

The two of them had to go to Huo Ranyin's house, and Yu Cisheng was also going home, so they happened to drop by, so they acted together.

After reaching the same neighborhood and going up to the same floor, Yu Cisheng knocked on the door next door, and the door opened, revealing a kind-hearted old man with a string of Buddhist beads in his hands. His eyebrows were the most striking, long and very lush , like the old birthday star in the painting.

This is Yu Cisheng's father, Yu Fanhai.

He is 67 years old this year, originally from Xiangjiang, and later immigrated to Singapore.Xu Shi has always been a little superstitious, and perhaps his relationship with Xu Chengzhang and his wife was afraid of being hurt by the scene. Not long after that unexpected night, their family also moved out of this community, but the houses here are not very easy to sell, so they stayed Down, the masters come back from time to time.

All this was learned later by Huo Ran through his contact with Yu Cisheng, and he himself never saw this elder again.

"Hello, Uncle Yu." Huo Ranyin greeted.

Seeing Huo Ranyin, Yu Fanhai's eyes burst out with astonishment, and the light was fixed on Huo Ranyin's eyebrows, like a Buddhist bead in his hand, which was slowly turned by the master, and fell back to the elusive The empty place: "You and your mother look so similar. When did you come back? Come in and sit down?"

The elders who haven't seen each other for a long time can't get rid of these specious greetings when they see the younger generation.

But Yu Fanhai's appearance just allowed Huo Ranyin, who was thinking about the unnamed grave in the cemetery, to ask directly.

After hearing Huo Ranyin's question, Yu Fanhai pondered for a long time.

"Her name is Huo Qiying, the firefly's firefly." He smiled slightly, "It's a very unique character, right? Most people would use the word Ying at the bottom of the jade character. Or cut out the word Ying in the sentence Yingying in the water, and the pulse is unspoken. But using the word Ying, it is like the twilight light that dwells, vivid and beautiful. I remember her because of her name, but it is a pity that there is an unnamed monument on the tomb that your grandfather set up for her."

Huo Qiying, Huo Qiyu.Huo Ranyin repeated these two names back and forth in his mind.Their names were chosen according to that line of the poem, and Huo Qiying was older than Huo Qiyu.

Huo Qiying's firefly may not only be the firefly's firefly, but also the sea firefly's firefly.

Hai Ying, it was Blue Tears.

"Then do you know how old she was and why she died?"

Yu Fanhai shook his head apologetically, "I only found out that she was removed from the genealogy by your grandfather, which seems to be a bit of an inhuman contradiction. Maybe she didn't die at all."

After saying this, the greetings are over.Yu Fanhai entered the room, and then gently closed the door next door, blocking the conversation that hadn't gone deep.

"Does he have the key to your house?" Ji Xun asked abruptly.

Huo Ranyin was stunned for a moment: "If you want to get it, it's not difficult. But what motive could he have?"

"Everyone looks like a suspect to me now." Ji Xun sighed, "Go into the house."

The two entered Huo Ranyin's hometown.

Ji Xun rolled up his sleeves and started rummaging through boxes to prepare for work.

"What are you going to do?" Huo Ranyin asked. They didn't communicate about this on the way here. Originally, Huo Ranyin planned to go directly to the police station, but it was Ji Xun who suggested coming here.

"Pack up all the notebooks with writing on them and send them back to Ning City. Including your parents' photo album."

"Purpose?"

"Handwriting identification."

"It's been done before, no problem."

"It doesn't prevent you from doing it twice more. The reasoning that the diary is a fake is the easiest reason to think of." Ji Xun said, "When I came, I sent your diary along with other writings from the same period. Now add There is some evidence that although ink on paper from 20 years ago cannot accurately determine the time of writing, it can compare the relative time between test samples-but I have a question."

"what?"

"I rummaged through your box for a long time, and only found textbooks for the second and sixth grades. What about the textbooks for other grades?"

"Sell the scrap." Huo Ranyin replied after thinking for a while.

"Sold part, but didn't sell the other part?" Ji Xun raised doubts.

"That was when I was promoted to junior high school. The sixth grade ones were close together, so they were not sold. The second grade ones..." Huo Ranyin paused for a moment, "I kept them myself. Auntie called someone who sold waste paper the other day. Collecting books, when I was arranging things, I found that notebook, so I subconsciously kept all the books near that notebook."

"Haven't seen it before?"

"I started to live with them in the second grade. This book was packed together with the textbooks of the second grade at that time. The adults packed them. Because I changed schools later, I used new textbooks, so these books have always been used. The box is under the bed."

"They" refers to Zhou Zhaonan's family.

Also from then on, Huo Ranyin lived in that small room.

Huo Ranyin knew what Ji Xun wanted to judge, he simply said: "They treat me a little bit politely, they seldom come in the room I live in, and they won't touch my things."

The unbelievable feeling when he found the diary when he was a teenager is already blurred, and what is even more vague is the crime recorded in the diary.

Even though he desperately tried to catch those memories, time still ruthlessly erased them.

Only the immature handwriting in black and white reminded him over and over again that it was the truth that might have happened.

Ji Xun nodded and stopped talking.

When two people are together, no matter what they do, time seems to fly by.

When their conversation was over, Ji Xun's work was finished, and after a while, the courier he called also came up to pick up the books.

After everything was packed and delivered to the courier truck, Ji Xun looked at Huo Ranyin.

Huo Ranyin said: "Go back to the police station. Close this case and don't waste their time."

In just one morning, Huo Ranyin seemed to have completely got rid of the influence of that document, acting vigorously and resolutely as usual.

Ji Xun was silent for a short while, and replied hello.

When they arrived at the police station, it happened that Zhao Wu and the deputy team were both there, and they also got the DNA test report of the saliva on the thread of the dinosaur doll, which confirmed that it did match the DNA on a hair that fell on the car.

Now there is no need to waste time, Huo Ranyin asked Zhao Wu to prepare a quiet place, Zhao Wu, the deputy team, Ji Xun, and him, the four of them together, he told the whole situation to Zhao Wu and Zhao Wu who were in charge of the case vice team.

From the beginning to the end, Ji Xun leaned against the wall with his arms folded.

He saw Zhao Wu and the deputy team's expressions change from confusion to disbelief, and from disbelief to seriousness.

In the end, when Huo Ranyin had finished speaking, the deputy team was already hesitant to speak with his mouth full of words.

"This case is proceeding here, I'm afraid it will be sealed up." Huo Ranyin said.

Because the country's laws do not support legal accountability for dead murderers.

"Are there any new clues about the port bombing?" Huo Ranyin asked again.

"This..." Zhao Wu paused for a rare moment, probably because what Huo Ranyin said just now was too shocking.Of course, under Huo Ranyin's gaze, he calmed down quickly, and said smoothly, "Not yet. But don't worry, we will follow closely. As long as there is a result, we will never forget to inform you. As for the case of hiding the corpse in a Buddha statue , the situation is a bit complicated, I need to write a report to explain clearly to the higher-ups, and then follow the instructions from the higher-ups.”

"Of course." Huo Ranyin nodded.

Everything follows the case-handling process, which is the greatest respect that people wearing police badges have for each other.

The captains of the criminal police from two different cities lightly shook hands, and then separated.

Then, Zhao Wu sent the two of them out of the police station, turned his head and wiped his face, and said to the deputy team in a deep voice.

"Just now Xiaofeng said that something was found in the port bombing."

"Have you got a clue?" The deputy team cheered up, and quickly asked again, "Did you play tricks on them just now?"

"I'm not wrong. If there is a result, we must tell them. People are not made of iron, we are the Qinshi police. Let him rest." Zhao Wu, "I will tidy up, write the report and hand it over to the leader. Get in touch with the leaders."

The case was over, and there was no other progress. The two of them had nothing to do for a while, and they simply went back to the hotel.

Coincidentally, not long after they arrived at the hotel, Zhou Ju called Huo Ranyin.

Ji Xun stood close, and could hear Zhou Ju's dissatisfied voice on the phone: "Two little bastards! How is your wound recovering? I gave you a vacation to let you recover from your injuries, not to let you give to your brother's unit. Arms delivery! Do you understand?"

Zhou Ju is good in everything, even if he has a bad mouth, that’s fine, and with his big voice that can sing tenor, the office door is just a fake—pretend phase only.

This also caused Zhou Ju to suffer a few failures every year because of well-documented abuse, and was criticized and criticized by the superiors.

However, the old man didn't take it seriously anyway. Every day, he filled a thermos cup filled with wild chrysanthemums, and trained his younger soldiers in front of his old leader with gusto.

"It's nothing, go back right away." Huo Ranyin replied.

"When is it soon?" Zhou Ju pressed the man closely.

"The fastest car." Ji Xun interjected beside him.

"Huh, Ji Xun." Zhou Ju was not young, with sharp ears, and snorted coldly, "You also come back quickly, you two don't want to run away, come to the office to see me together!"

The leader has already spoken, and there is no way for the two of them to delay any longer.

Looking at the departure time of the train station, there was still time, so I packed my luggage, went to the nearest hospital for a change of medicine, and immediately got into the car with my things, and returned to Ning City before the night came.

It was actually seven or eight in the evening.

According to normal circumstances, the leader should be off work.

But when they arrived at the police station, they found that the lights were still on in Zhou Ju's office. They raised their hands and knocked on the door, and Zhou Ju's angry voice came from inside:

"Come in."

Ji Xun turned to leave.

Huo Ranyin clasped his arm.

The two make eye contact:

'you go. '

'You too. '

'Two people still need to be together when scolded? '

'if not? '

Ji Xun was finally defeated by Huo Ranyin's eyes of "dao friends and poor Taoists die together", he turned sideways, motioning for Huo Ranyin to enter the door first, and he followed behind Huo Ranyin, shrunk a few centimeters consciously, eyes Watch the nose and mind, pretend that you can't see yourself if you can't see the situation.

"Are you finally willing to come back? Go out for a trip, all of them are beautiful, and you can't think of going anywhere, can't you find your way home?"

After entering the door, Zhou Ju's cold snort came.

Sitting behind the desk, Zhou Ju didn't look at Ji Xun and the two, and signed his name on the document as usual - Zhou Guangping.

Then, with a "snap", the pen closed.

Zhou Ju raised his face just now, and stared directly at Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin with piercing eyes.He is middle-aged, with a square face. I don't know if he is in his 40s or [-]s. His hair is full of black and white, all combed back, revealing a wide and flat forehead. It is said that a person with such a forehead has a large head. Bigger and wiser than others, of course, I am afraid that he is also hotter.

Just after the yin and yang words were finished, Zhou Guangping stretched out his hand without waiting for the two of them to open their mouths:

"Bring the medical records."

"..." Huo Ranyin, who had prepared a full report, could only dig out his own medical records first.

Ji Xun continued to glance at the sofa, still playing the emperor's new clothes game.Unfortunately, the emperor's new clothes were ruined by the children, and he was also ruined by Zhou Ju.

"The arms are still hanging, and the medical records are lost?"

"..." Well, Ji Xun could only submit the medical records in a proper manner.

The two medical records were in Zhou Guangping's hands. He flipped through them and nodded: "The young man was full of anger. He died for half his life before, and the one who had been raised for half a month actually came back. He was able to jump around alive and well. Not bad, not bad. .”

"Weekly..."

"Block your mother!"

Huo Ran was interrupted by Zhou Ju after only saying two words.When he became anxious, Zhou Guangping even scolded himself, being stern and selfless.

"The sky hasn't fallen yet, you are in a hurry to investigate the case! Your medical record says that you will change your medicine five more times, once every two days. Let me tell you, I will give you a week's leave. If you don't give me a good week this week Stay at home and recuperate, don't come back!"

The medical records flew into his arms.

Huo Ranyin was speechless.

"Okay, go out, go home, and come over in a week to sell your vacation." Zhou Guangping scolded.

Huo Ranyin turned to leave, and Ji Xun followed obediently.

"Ji Xun stay."

'help me! ' Ji Xun immediately cast his eyes on Huo Ranyin.

Huo Ran was silent for a moment, thinking of Zhou Guangping's deafening scolding, he finally gave him a look of 'dead fellows never die poor', and resolutely left.

The door of the office closed before his eyes.

In the end, only Ji Xun and Zhou Guangping were left.

"Stop yelling." Ji Xun turned his head with a heavy expression, "Your throat hurts, and my hands hurt."

However, looking at Ji Xun, Zhou Guangping's iron-like face gradually softened, and he gently patted another medical record in Ji Xun's arms: "Are you back?"

"I can't go back, there is no way."

"...Little bastard, did you deliberately scold me!"

"But maybe soon." Ji Xun replied softly.

Not to come back, but to get the real answer.

His gaze passed through Zhou Guangping and looked at the window behind him.

From Qinshi to Ningshi, the location and time have changed, and the weather has also changed. It was still bright in the morning, but by this time, the wind was blowing, and the black clouds were churning. A swamp.

but,

The night is approaching dawn, and there is light after the heavy rain.

Zhou Guangping looked at Ji Xun for a while, then nodded: "When something happened to you, I asked Yuan Yue to stay with you and take care of you. Huo Ranyin is not easy now, so you should be with him and take care of him when he is fine."

"rest assured."

Under the dazzling lights in the office, Ji Xun finally smiled.

"It must be taken care of at home."
