sincerity of lies

"...What do you mean?" Ji Xun asked in a daze.

Is it Jiyu?he thinks.I killed Ji Yu.

At this moment, his soul seemed to be separated from his body, and his heavy and clumsy body burst out from the back of his head, floating up all the way, to the roof of the car, and condescendingly looked down at the person curled up in the driver's seat.

He observed that Ji Xun's body was trembling, like a warm-blooded animal suddenly thrown into the ice and snow, teeth chattering, bones shaking each other, every muscle in his body trembled to meet the fate of dying in the ice and snow.

What to be afraid of.

He sneered.

What Meng Lingshan said was definitely not Jiyu.Huo Ranyin would suspect that I killed Ji Yu, but Meng Lingshan would not.

The only purpose of Meng Lingshan's entire life is to find the real culprit who killed Ji Yu—he doesn't think it was me—otherwise he would have taken revenge on me.

So.He is thinking.Who is Meng negative mountain talking about?

Who did I kill?

"Who did I kill?" Ji Xun murmured, his voice seemed to reach his ears from the sky, it was indistinct and hard to hear.

"An Jie." Meng Lingshan smiled softly, hiding his knife in his words, "Ji Xun, don't lie to yourself, and don't lie to me either. You can't forget him, and neither can I."

An Jie, An Jie.

This name is very strange, but the strangeness only appeared at the moment when the name sounded from Meng Lingshan's mouth.

Then the strangeness faded away, and the familiarity surged.He realized who it was.

He is the senior Ji Yu met after he went to college, and he is also Ji Yu's later boyfriend.

Ji Xun raised his hand to cover his eyes.

The palm of the hand blocks a large amount of skylight, leaving the strands of water seeping through the gaps between the fingers, like waves on the beach line after line.

Meng Lingshan's words reminded him of a scene from a nightmare like black water.

These scenes are so familiar, he has been troubled in it for three whole years, it was later that Huo Ranyin appeared, and it was later that Meng Lingshan told him that there was something strange about Ji Yu's death, and rescued him from the cement-like nightmare come out.

He went back easily, recalling this scene easily.

White water, yellow sand, discarded boxes, and kneeling men.

The man wept bitterly, repeatedly said that he was wrong, that he shouldn't have spoken to Xiaoyu like this, and begged him to forgive him.

Ansuke!

The palm of Ji Xun's eyes covered his eyes with a burning pain, as if the sharp knife he held in his palm penetrated time and space and was re-imprinted on his palm.

The fuzzy yarn is pulled away.

The cold vision takes Ji Xun back to his memory, back to the day when he found An Jie.

He stood on the soft sand again, and he had been peeping beside him for a long time, seeing An Jie's happy face when he got off the boat with his suitcase.

This person thought that after coming here and fleeing the country, he would have a brighter future and rest easy.

Ji Xun laughed.

He pressed down on the brim of his hat, stepped forward, held An Jie with the sharp knife hidden under his coat, and led An Jie away from the crowd and onto the deserted beach like a good friend he met temporarily.

Then he let people go.

He watched An Jie trying to escape, trying to struggle, but it was useless, an ordinary person who had not been trained could not escape from his eyes.

So the man finally knelt down and told his fault and his love for Ji Yu tearfully.

Disgusting.

If there is a mirror at this time, Ji Xun will definitely stand in front of An Jie, let him see his tears trembling with fear, and the hatred that he thought was hidden tightly under the tears, but has already overflowed clumsily.

Until now, An Jie still hates Ji Yu, hates him.

That clear hatred is enough to prove that everything that happened to Ji Yu was intentionally done by An Jie.

Of course...he didn't kill Yasuke.

At least not this time.

"Ji Xun, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to accuse you." Meng Lingshan said lightly.

While the cold exhausts the body, it also freezes the mind.

Ji Xun let out a breath slowly, Meng Lingshan's voice temporarily pulled him away from his memories, he heard the other party say:

"I just hate you for moving so fast..."

After what happened at home, he was taken away by the police station for investigation. Of course, nothing was found in the end. When he came out of the police station and saw Meng Lingshan waiting outside, he didn't need any more explanation and communication. Tell Meng Lingshan the answer - An Jie, Ji Yu's boyfriend when he was in college in the provincial capital.

An Jie met Ji Yu on the first day of Ji Yu's university.

In fact, An Jie and Ji Yu are not from the same university, but on the day of the opening of Ji Yu University, the student from the school next door went to Ji Yu's school and acted as a staff member in charge of welcoming new students. The luggage was brought into the classroom, and Ji Yu was taken to the campus to introduce new students' interest clubs.

After a round of introduction, Ji Yu's favorite drama club.

An Jie took Ji Yu to the drama club to sign up, and he actually knew everyone in the drama club.

This student from another school lives like a fish in water on Ji Yu's campus.

In fact, it's not surprising, An Jie is a fair and handsome boy, even when he knelt in front of Ji Xun and wept bitterly, his distorted face was still pitifully clean.

He's the guy who'll make the sun shine on him for a couple of extra seconds.

His personality and appearance seem to be that his sunshine is not the sunshine of summer or winter, but the sunshine of April in the world, the most comfortable and non-aggressive light of the year.

He has an approachable and convincing face.

People with this look are always popular in today's society.

People from the drama club have a good impression of him, and Ji Yu also has a good impression of him.

Ji Yu listened to him and joined the drama club. There are many activities in the drama club, and some stage props in it need to be taken care of by the club members themselves. Once Ji Yu arrives in a new place, he will be very active.She actively participated in the event and was responsible for a major stage prop.

This prop is very troublesome to make, everyone made it together for several days, and Ji Yu took care of it after it was done.

But when Ji Yu was sleepy at noon and slept against the table, the props were damaged.

Tomorrow is the time to go on stage, but the important props were damaged at this moment. Ji Yu was in a hurry. This scene was seen by An Jie. With new props, this drama club's performance can be held smoothly.

The matter was perfectly resolved, but for some reason, from this time on, the people in the drama club began to shy away from Ji Yu.

Ji Yu once talked to Ji Xun about the situation of the drama club, and felt that other people were still blaming him.

It's just that Ji Xun was busy investigating the case at that time, and he didn't touch the ground. He didn't think about the news sent by his sister, and just comforted his sister perfunctorily.He knew that Ji Yu was cheerful and friendly by nature, but he never thought that there would be people who would dislike his lovely sister.

Some people really don't like it.

After entering university, Ji Yu's perception of the world is no longer the same.

How cheerful she was in the past, how introverted she is later.

After investigating the matter, Ji Xun put everything together.

An Jie has a face favored by God, and he plays well with the drama club, so the female members of the drama club naturally like him.He first destroyed the props that Ji Yu was guarding, and then helped Ji Yu make props overnight; while gaining Ji Yu's favor, he made other female members of the drama club who liked him jealous.

The jealous staff members pushed Ji Yu away because of An Jie, but Ji Yu was ignorant, and because she was a very responsible person, the more responsible she felt, the more unbearable it was that the props did not look good, and the more she felt against An Jie who helped her make up for her mistakes. Good impression.

An Jie is also a very talkative person.

He is always willing to say nice things, Ji Yu is like a little fairy in the sky in his mouth.

Ji Yu has never met a man who can bluntly praise her and express his admiration for her.

All women feel shy when they receive what they believe to be a sincere and ardent compliment.

As they get closer and closer, the trust will not disappear so easily. While Ji Yu believed in An Jie, An Jie used the same method to separate Ji Yu from the classmates beside him. This clumsy but effective method even used Meng Cheng. on the mountain.

Meng Lingshan seldom called Ji Yu, but mostly sent messages.

An Jie often appeared by Ji Yu's side, and when Ji Yu was busy with drama club activities, he would secretly delete the messages sent by Meng Lingshan. Not every time, three out of five times, two out of three times, For the remaining one or two times, he followed Ji Yu to meet Meng Lingshan.

Perhaps Meng Lingshan was also lost.

As far as Ji Yu is concerned, it is her brother's good friend who once lived in her house and had a good relationship with her, but for some reason, his attitude towards her is no longer the same as before.

Am I doing something wrong?

Why is the relationship that can be maintained simply in the past, but now, no matter what, it can't be done well?

Perhaps these two questions have been lingering in Ji Yu's mind since college.

Everyone has changed, and even I seem to be different from the world in the past, only An Jie is still by her side, swaying endless enthusiasm, affirming her, taking care of her, and needing her.

Maybe this is love?

An Jie, who had been pursuing Ji Yu, was finally held by Ji Yu's hand.

After hearing what he said, Meng Lingshan smoked a lot of cigarettes, one pack after another, the cigarette butts filled the ashtray and fell on the ground, so much that the whole house and them were submerged in the choking smoke, and they could not even see Clear the opponent's face beyond the palm.

In the end, Meng Lingshan said, Ji Xun, check again.I have no doubts about what An Jie did, but Ji Yu is not that stupid, she would not do these things because of only one man.

Ji Xun understood Meng Lingshan's disbelief.

He couldn't believe it either.He still couldn't believe why he didn't send Ji Yu to college because he was busy investigating the case, and he didn't pay attention to Ji Yu's college life, and he couldn't believe it, he actually believed that Meng Lingshan could take good care of Ji Yu.

It's too late now.

But he can still do some things.

He still trusted himself, he trusted himself so vainly.Instead of persuading Meng Lingshan, he directly left Meng Lingshan behind and embarked on the road to find An Jie.

An Jie is also considered smart. After the news of Ji Yu's accident spread, he did not stay in the provincial capital and school foolishly. Instead, he packed his things and ran away from the provincial capital. In the end, he was arrested by Ji Xun in a port city overseas. live.

Strange to say, when time was turned back, An Jie escaped from the provincial capital just as they set off from Ningshi.

It was a coincidence that someone deliberately tipped off to An Jie.

Ji Xun realized that his thoughts had diverged too much, and he was thinking sideways.He closed his eyes and refocused.

On the beach, he didn't kill the ugly man who knelt down and begged for mercy, he let An Jie go.Then...he didn't leave that port city immediately.I have forgotten the reason why I didn't leave, maybe it was because I was confused.

He had no purpose, walking on the streets of that strange city at a loss, looking at strange people blankly.

But even so, even if all he heard in his ears were unfamiliar languages, he looked at these people as if he was looking at An Jie.

He thought it was a hallucination, but it didn't seem to be.When he looked intently, Anjie was really in front of him.

He was unconsciously following Anjie.

When he was soberly aware of this, he didn't keep up, but just sat on the side of the road until nightfall.Then he casually walked into a bar on the side of the road, came out of the bar again, and continued to stagger on the street.

In a strange city, there are not only strange people, but also a strange language.

He doesn't care about them, and they don't care about him.

This is the case in foreign countries.

He wandered the streets for five days.

The reason why I remember this number of days so clearly is because five days later, the sound of the police siren woke him up from the coma.

He found himself collapsed on the side of the road, perhaps unconscious on the side of the road?

He stood on the mountain road, took two steps forward, and found a row of police cars whizzing by with flashing red and blue lights on the bottom of the mountain road.

What are they going to do?Why did I run from the city streets to the suburbs?

These thoughts did not stay in Ji Xun's mind for more than a second.

He is indifferent.

Not two days later, he learned from the police announcement that on the day he woke up from the mountain, the police found a man whose face was scratched and could not be identified in the temple at the foot of the mountain.

Ji Xun looked at the familiar clothing of the deceased in the police photo, and a sharp knife that he was also familiar with.

The deceased, An Jie.

He found a dried blood spot on the inside of his sleeve.

"What did you see?" Thousands of thoughts turned to Ji Xun's mind, but what he finally said was this simple sentence.

"An Jie was sitting on a chair in the temple. Behind him was a statue of a god. There were no traces of binding on his body. His face was scratched. Judging from the traces of the wound, it was scratched before he was alive. But the fatal wound was across the throat. With a knife, the blood flying from the throat splashed An Jie's body and half of the ground in front of him; but your body was clean, and you fell to the side, not dizzy, but fell asleep reeking of alcohol."

"The knife is in my hand?" Ji Xun asked again.

"No, it's in An Jie's hands." Meng Lingshan sneered, "It's very similar to An Jie's uneasy conscience, committing suicide in fear of crime."

"He won't kill himself."

"Of course he won't." Meng Lingshan said, "So Ji Xun, who killed him?"

Ji Xun closed his eyes again.Following Meng Lingshan's narration, his thoughts gradually returned to the past.

But this past seems to be completely isolated from his proud memory. Perhaps alcohol has engulfed too much of his reason at that time. When he recalled it again, he only felt that the streets of that city were always covered by a layer of darkness that he could not even see. Through the thick fog, the hotels he entered were all opened in dark corners, and the doors and faces of each house were like huge strange mouths.

And... and that mountain, that temple.

I don't know if the memory is automatically completing the details following Meng Lingshan's retelling.

He walked in the thick fog, and at the end of the thick fog, a compassionate smile appeared faintly.

As he got closer and closer, he finally saw clearly that it was the face of a painted god.

The face of Mazu Empress.
