sincerity of lies

"Let's go to Chen Jiashu's office." Ji Xun stepped out of the corner, and while talking to Huo Ranyin, he called Yuan Yue.

The phone was connected quickly, and Yuan Yue happened to be on the way with someone, and they were going to Chen Jiashu's mother, Mrs. Sun.

Just right.

Ji Xun briefly made an appointment with Yuan Yue to meet in Chen Jiashu's office, and then hung up the phone.

At this time, he had already got into Huo Ranyin's car, Huo Ranyin hit the accelerator, and the car galloped off the strings like an arrow!

Chen Jiashu's pharmaceutical factory is located in the suburbs, a bit far from the city, and it takes four to ten minutes by car. When the car arrives here, the sun is setting to the west, emitting thousands of rays of light. The red light shines on the deserted concrete road, like unfaded blood Light.

They quickly walked through here and entered Chen Jiashu's office.

Yuan Yue has already arrived. After answering Ji Xun's call, he didn't go to find Mrs. Sun. He turned the steering wheel and brought the whole car here.As soon as Ji Xun stepped in, his eyes were glued to him immediately, as if he was a walking cipher, if you look at him more, you will be able to solve some puzzles.

"What did you find?" Yuan Yue asked.

"No hurry, let me take a look." Ji Xun replied simply, his eyes quickly turned around the room.

The style of Chen Jiashu's office is like the square they passed by when they first came in, with a blood-colored spaciousness.

There is a complete set of mahogany furniture, large cabinets, large desks, large sofas, some fitness equipment, a statue of Guan Gong, and a large fish tank embedded in the wall.

Ji Xun didn't look at anything else.

He raised his hand and pointed at the fish tank, and said simply and directly, "Take it apart, what we are looking for is inside."

The astonishment spread across the faces of a group of people like lightning.

They had too many questions they wanted to ask, but the scene was so quiet that a needle could be heard. Everyone was quiet like a statue for a second or two. Afterwards, the two criminal policemen who were closest to the fish tank stood up and came with some hesitation. Before going to the fish tank:

"Captain Yuan?"

"Get it out." Yuan Yue said in a deep voice.

The large glass fish tank was already sinking, and it sank even more with the addition of water and fish, but after everyone struggled to get the fish tank out of the wall and saw a cowhide notebook lying under the fish tank, they were sweating. Turned into cold sweat, someone yelled out:

"You... how did you do it, you really found it!"

Like everyone else, Ji Xun stared at the notebook lying quietly under the fish tank.

He didn't speak, but retorted softly in his heart:

not that i found...

It is Meng negative mountain.

It was Meng Lingshan, who had been lurking beside Chen Jiashu, who put the things here.

Meng Lingshan understood that as long as I came here and saw the fish tank, I would be able to know that things were in the fish tank.

Yuan Yue took a step forward and grabbed the cowhide book in his hand. He paused for a while and opened the book.

The white inner pages of this book seem to have extraordinary stickiness, and a pair of eyes are glued to him from a distance.But when everyone looked at the records inside, Ji Xun's eyes turned to the fish tank that was placed on the ground by everyone.

Inside the transparent glass, the fish didn't know anything, and swam leisurely in the still sloshing water. They swam back with Ji Xun to the winter vacation when Meng Lingshan came to stay at his house.

During the first few days when Meng Lingshan came to Ji Xun's house, Ji Yu was not at home.At that time, Ji Yu was in the third year of junior high school and had a lot of homework. Just after the winter vacation, he went to an off-campus closed tutoring, and he had to stay in it for a week.

Just as she left, they arrived.

In this week's life, his parents have accepted Meng Lingshan well, which is very rare.This is mainly because Meng Lingshan is very diligent. Although his parents have repeatedly told Meng Lingshan that he does not need to do anything when he is a guest, Meng Lingshan still follows the habit of the Public Security University. Tofu cubes, when his parents wake up, they will be faced with a bright and clean home, and they can't help being elated.

On the third day after Meng Lingshan moved in, his parents moved his house and replaced the 1.8-meter bed with two 1.2-meter beds, one for him, one for Meng, and one for Meng. With such a natural posture, Negative Mountain has become a small part of his family majestically.

In a blink of an eye, Meng Lingshan came to his house for a week, and Ji Yu also came back from the cram school and saw Meng Lingshan.

Meng Lingshan greeted Ji Yu with his inherent indifference.This kind of indifference is sometimes like a needle, it will stab people who appear around Meng Lingshan and don't know Meng Lingshan well.

But Ji Yu was not stabbed.

My sister is always like this... so happy, easy to satisfy.

She waved her hand with a smile, and said crisply, "Brother Meng, I've heard about you all the time, and now I finally see you!"

After meeting this time, even though they were under the same roof, the interaction between Meng Lingshan and Ji Yu was limited, and they mostly said a word or two at the dinner table. They didn't have a deep relationship, but Meng Lingshan didn't hate Ji Yu, According to Ji Xun's observation, Meng Lingshan already liked Ji Yu very much at that time - like a brother likes a younger sister.

It's just that the liking of indifferent people is like water flowing under ice, which can't be seen clearly.

Things changed the next day.

At that time, the new year had passed, and in the first lunar month, his parents packed their bags and waved their hands, leaving them to go back to their hometown.

Only him, Meng Lingshan, and his sister were left in the room.

It should be the fourth day of junior high school.My younger sister went out to play with her classmates. That day she wore an ivory-white skirt, the front was elegant and flowerless, but there was a big bow at the waist on the back, trembling with her sister's light steps.

He sent the beautifully dressed younger sister out, but when the younger sister came back at night, her white skirt was stained with mud and dust, and there was a footprint that hadn't been completely photographed.

But compared to her younger sister's mess, her eyes were shining brightly, and her face was filled with a mixed expression of satisfaction and excitement.

Ji Xun still remembered his reaction at that time.

At that time, when he saw his younger sister, he hummed his head, stood up and cursed: "Damn girl, you are so courageous, you dare to go out and fight!"

The younger sister was taken aback.

But my younger sister was not afraid of him at all, and immediately retorted plausibly, "What do you know? You scold me if you don't know anything!"

Ji Xun was furious: "Is there anything I don't know? Isn't it because you fought with her brother for your classmate's sake?"

"How do you know?" My sister was shocked, "Brother, are you following me?"

"Do you still need to track this matter to confirm it?" Because of anger, Ji Xun's speech speed became faster, "You have scratches on the back of your hand, and the Band-Aid on the scratches is a limited edition linkage. You bought it for collection and don't usually use it. .Now it appears in your hands. It cannot be bought casually in a pharmacy outside after the injury, but it can only be taken out from home on purpose-this proves that you have expected to be injured today; there is half ash on your skirt Footprints, the footprints can be seen to belong to underage males - the basic information of the person who had a dispute with you is also available; and considering that you are going out to meet your classmates today, you should not lie about this, because I heard you typed Your classmate doesn’t want you to go there, saying that you have to stay at home today, but you insist on going. At home, underage males can only be elder brothers or younger brothers; most families who give birth to boys and reborn girls love their daughters , families with girls and boys are mostly biased—in short, the reasoning is simple."

"Brother, I was wrong." The younger sister bowed her head in shame, half admiring and half flattering, "I shouldn't use the low-level word 'stalking' to describe my smart brother..."

"Then do you know you're wrong?" Ji Xun said with a straight face.

"I'm right." My sister puffed up her face.

"You fought right?"

"This is not a fight, this is an act of righteousness."

"You three-legged cat's kung fu, what righteousness and courage are you doing?" Ji Xun asked, "Call the police if you have something to do!"

"When you taught me self-defense, you said that I am very good!" My sister pointed out, "Besides, this kind of family conflict is not easy for the police to deal with!"

"I lied to you." Ji Xun said coldly, "You, dish."

This remark caused my sister to explode into a puffer fish, but Ji Xun also exploded, which caused the two brothers and sisters to quarrel in the room. They quarreled first, and the quarrel was not enjoyable. Ji Xun then grabbed the feather duster on the bookshelf and threatened his sister.

The younger sister is not threatened by him.

With oil on her feet, she quickly grabbed Meng Lingshan next to her, shouted "Brother Meng, save me", and used Meng Lingshan's body as a shield to hide and seek in circles with Ji Xun.

Meng Lingshan was thus innocently involved.

This farce finally ended with Ji Xun bypassing Meng Lingshan's barrier, hitting Ji Yu several times with a feather duster, and being warned by Meng Lingshan who snatched his weapon and stared at him.

The younger sister cried angrily, rushed back into the house, and slammed the door loudly.

Ji Xun felt that this time he taught his sister a deep enough lesson, enough for her to understand that professional matters should be left to professionals, so 15 minutes later, he knocked on his sister's door with the medicine.

However, the girl in the room was still angry and shouted: "I hate brother stinky the most!"

Ji Xun kicked Meng Lingshan.

Meng Lingshan: "...It's me."

The voice of shouting died halfway, Ji Yu sniffed and choked, "I'm sorry Brother Meng, I'm not scolding you, I'll open the door."

Ji Xun stuffed all the wound medicine into Meng Lingshan's hands and sneaked away by himself.

Meng Lingshan twitched the corner of his mouth, holding the wound medicine, and was taken in by Ji Yu who opened the door.

Later, when Ji Xun came out to drink water, he pretended to inadvertently squint at Ji Yu's room, and from the half-open door, he saw Meng Lingshan and Ji Yu sitting and talking to each other under the window.

Fresh colors in a girl's room.

They sat on a beige plush rug, behind curtains that looked like spring shoots.

There was a round fried egg pillow on Meng Lingshan's back. He was still indifferent and unfriendly, but with his head slightly lowered, he carefully took a cotton swab and dipped it in the red syrup, and applied it on Ji Yupo. On Pi's wound, he actually heard Meng Lingshan ask:

"Does it hurt?"

Ji Yu stopped crying at this time, but was still aggrieved, her nose was red, her eyes were red, she pulled Meng Lingshan's sleeve and spoke in a very low voice, Ji Xun only saw her sister's lips moving, no heard what was said.

Let's learn lip language later.Ji Xun drank water and thought.Should be useful.

He held his brother's airs and didn't stay for too long. The last scene he saw out of the corner of his eye was Meng Lingshan raising his hand, touching his sister's furry top hair, and rubbing it.

After this incident, the winter vacation was only a few days away. When he and Meng Lingshan were going back to school, Meng Lingshan brought back a fish.

A pearly betta.

Betta fish are housed in a square fish tank with a layer of fine sand on the bottom of the tank and a piece of green dill leaves on the water surface.

The leaves are tender green, as fresh as they have just been plucked from the branches.

The betta in the small fish tank is very energetic. Most of the time, it will come and go in a small space, but sometimes it will swim out of the water, jump on the leaves, and lie lazily on it to rest like an amphibian .

At this time, its long white tail hangs down like an unopened flower.

Small pets are quite attractive, but they don't seem to be Meng Lingshan's style. Ji asked, "Where did they come from?"

"It's from the aquarium shop." Meng Lingshan said nonchalantly, "Its tail was injured in a fight with its own kind, and it's missing a crescent mouth, but it's still in high spirits, with its chest up and its head up, looking very energetic, like..."

"picture?"

"Does Ji Yu like fish?" Meng Lingshan turned and said, "I'm leaving, give her a present."

Ji Xun turned his eyes to the fish in the bathtub. After resting enough, the fish jumped back into the water from the leaves. Its nimble body left the water waves, its gathered skirt stretched out, and the buds were just blooming.

The flower spun slightly, and brought Ji Xun back to reality.

They had already returned to the police station from Chen Jiashu's office with the ledger.
