sincerity of lies

"The Chen family is here in the morning."

Reasoning things like this, skimming the process and telling the truth directly always has an unexpected intimidating effect.

This kind of intimidation works on any suspect, the only difference is whether they show their fright.

Mrs. Sun is doing well, she's just a little stiff.

"I don't understand what you're talking about." She retorted forcefully, and then closed her mouth tightly like a clam shell.

Ji Xun stared at her unconscious eyesight falling on the ground, and the reasoning he was doing now, regarding Chen Jiashu's death, according to Ji Xun's intuition, 99% was just a branch on the main trunk. Unfortunately, in a cloud of fog, It's too obvious, too thick, and blinds everyone's thinking, including his own. Unless it is definitely ruled out, as a policeman, you have to find out.

"You are about to turn [-]. Older people always like to have children and grandchildren, so even at the risk of pollen allergies, I decided to come to this mountain villa, because it is clean and sparsely populated, and it is enough to protect you who just committed a crime and went abroad. Your youngest son—he didn’t come from the main entrance, you didn’t see him in the police surveillance, but he was captured by the pharmacy and the small garden gate.”

"It's just that at this time, it was as unfortunate as a bolt from the blue... Chen Jiashu died. The nurse's report of Chen Jiashu's death frightened you even more. Because you realized that you had already lost a son, and it was too late to recover from the shock. While grieving, you are likely to face the danger of losing your second son. The palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh, but the dead are dead after all. You can only take care of the living one first.

"You asked the Chen family to take down the camera and run away while the police were on the scene, while you stayed behind as a cover - using the excuse of acute kidney rejection to delay the police and give him enough time..."

"Where's the evidence?" Mrs. Sun raised her head suddenly and stared at Ji Xun. She squinted her eyes like a snake staring at its prey. "It's all speculation. What evidence do you have to prove that my youngest son came? By fingerprints ? This is my family's property, and my youngest son has also been here in the past, and fingerprints and dandruff may be left behind."

The hunter easily escapes the entanglement of the prey.

Ji Xun said lightly: "The route you arranged for him, I guess - is to walk down the mountain, and then arrange a car on the side of the road without surveillance. As long as you stay in the car, surveillance will not find your son. You Do you think so? Maybe the contact information has changed hands several times. Don’t worry, this mountain is not big. Your son is a pampered person. No matter how he walks on the mountain road, he is used to walking on the road that can be walked. The footprints left are very good. Identify, I don’t want to walk a little bit more on the highway, my colleague has already gone down to look for it, as long as he calculates the approximate time of going down the mountain, he can find the cars within the time period from the monitoring of the nearby roads, and check them one by one. Although it is troublesome point, but there is always a result.”

"You—" Mrs. Sun's expression changed suddenly.

However, this strange expression finally calmed down gradually under her will.

She sneered, "...does it make sense?"

"What do you mean?" Ji Xun asked quietly.

Mrs. Sun sat in a rose-colored chaise longue under the floor-to-ceiling windows.When she leaned back in the chair, her whole body was almost shrunk into the shadow of the light.

When she turned her face slightly to the side—or the sun outside slanted slightly, Ji Xun finally saw Mrs. Sun's face clearly again.

Still that face.

Although the beautiful outline of his youth still remained, it was already so old that the wrinkles showed a mocking face.

Fine dust danced in the light, and Mrs. Sun's gray hair trembled in the light.

Mrs. Sun asked Ji Xun:

"So what if my son comes, so what if he doesn't come? Is he related to this case? Don't be afraid of trouble, don't be afraid of letting the real culprit go, just go find it, anyway, it's just investigating millions of people in a city. People, just looking at thousands of cameras along the way. Surely the police can solve this kind of trivial matter, right?"

This passage is calm enough, so calm that it brings out a kind of almost malicious teasing.

"Compared to my youngest son, who I don't know where he is, isn't there a more suspicious person at the scene? Doctor Zheng, right?"

Zheng Xuewang, who was watching coldly, jumped up: "It's none of my business!"

"On the contrary, you are the one who is most involved in this matter." Mrs. Sun said, "When the police arrived, you were the one who said categorically that there was nothing wrong with the deceased's death, it was just acute kidney rejection, and you were charged for this. My son’s medical records all the time proved his words. Why, it’s only been a little over a day, have you completely forgotten it?”

"This, this is because—"

"Because you are the murderer." Mrs. Sun said lightly.

"That medical record is indeed a fake." Zheng Xuewang is now willing to go all out, "But it was your son who asked me to fake it. In order to make me fake it, he also gave me a large sum of money. I also hid it for the sake of The license to practice medicine will not be revoked, but now, anyway, I can’t hide it, so let’s do what I love, anyway, I didn’t kill people.”

"Since this is fake, one of them must be real, right?" Ji Xun interrupted abruptly, "Really?"

However, when this question was asked, Zheng Xuewang, who was about to tell the truth just now, hesitated again: "Really, I put it in the drawer in the room, but it disappeared..."

"What a coincidence." Ji Xun commented.

"If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have concealed the truth about Chen Jiashu's death." Zheng Xuewang seemed to have come to a dead end, crouching down with his head in his arms like a trapped animal, "I'll just destroy the fake ones and give you the real medical records? The rest How did Chen Jiashu die? Let the police go and investigate. I’ll just make a fake out and type a few A4 papers, and I’ll do the rest!”

Although this guy is acting like this, there should be something hidden...

Ji Xun, who was watching coldly, thought to himself.

In fact, Mrs. Sun was right. The sneaky appearance of Chen Jiahe did not mean that Chen Jiahe was the one who did it.

First of all, Chen Jiashu and Chen Jiahe are blood brothers. So far, no motives have been found for Chen Jiahe to kill Chen Jiashu. Whether Chen Jiahe is the murderer or not, and whether he is involved in the case is a question mark.

Mrs. Sun's secret has been uncovered...Then it's Zheng Xuewang who is next...the most likely Zheng Xuewang, maybe we made the mistake of being dark under the lamp, the one who killed Chen Jiashu is far away in the sky, and right in front of us...

"Where's Cao Zhengbin?" Huo Ranyin's voice suddenly sounded, and with just one question, he made Mrs. Sun and Zheng Xuewang who were arguing die together, "Where is Cao Zhengbin now?"

The two were silent.

Mrs. Sun didn't bother to put on a show anymore, and she directly showed a look of "I know, but I won't say it".She is an old man. After all, the police cannot press an old man for questioning.

As for Zheng Xuewang, he had a look of helplessness mixed with a little despair. Judging from this expression alone, he might not be very clear about Cao Zhengbin's whereabouts.

"Continue to search." Huo Ranyin didn't waste time on these two, he told the rest of the police, "Don't miss any corner."

This is just a direction for the next criminal investigation arrangement.

After leaving Mrs. Sun's room, Huo Ranyin called the bureau, and then ordered: "Notify the technical staff in the bureau, and start investigating the monitoring at the foot of the mountain. The investigation time will start counting from yesterday when the bureau received the alarm call of Chen Jiashu's death. Mainly Investigate three people, Chen Jiahe, Cao Zhengbin, and—"

"Hey, hey," Ji Xun interrupted Huo Ranyin, "two checks are enough, how many more do you need to check? There are not so many people in the bureau, so hurry up. Compared with Chen Jiahe and Cao Zhengbin, I I think Zheng Xuewang is still a little weird. Maybe the problem is focused on him."

Huo Ranyin glanced at Ji Xun, hung up the phone first, and faced Ji Xun.

"Meng Lingshan is suspected."

"On the face of it he does."

"Maybe actually."

"..."

"Ji Xun," Huo Ranyin said, "this case has been investigated, you should face up to your blind spots."

"He won't." Ji Xun said, "I know him."

"A long time ago."

"I've been through a lot with him."

"And then he went through a lot of things alone again."

"Meng Lingshan is just an undercover agent, he did this for my sister."

"Whether it is for your sister or whether he will break the law does not constitute a causal relationship."

Ji Xun pursed his lips.

"Cao Zhengbin has been with Chen Jiashu for more than ten years. He is Chen Jiashu's most trusted right-hand man. He may be suspected, but the suspicion is not great. Compared with the suspicion of murder, I am afraid that he is now suspected of pursuing the murderer in private. And, Ji Xun. Why can't Meng Lingshan?" Huo Ranyin asked back, "Just because he is Meng Lingshan, and because you believe in him?"

"That's right, because he is Meng Lingshan." Ji Xun, "Because he went to expose the darkness. Investigating him is just a waste of time in the wrong direction."

"Investigating him may be a waste of time," Huo Ranyin, "but if you don't investigate him, you may lose the chance to solve the case."

"Huo Ranyin!" Ji Xun called out.

"Ji Xun." Huo Ranyin said calmly, "People who have walked in the darkness for a long time are either assimilated by the darkness or buried by the darkness. As a former criminal policeman, you trust too many people. You trust me first, now I also believe in Meng Lingshan. But I may not believe in myself, and Meng Lingshan may not necessarily believe in himself either. You want to believe..."

he said cruelly.

"It's what you wish to believe."
