sincerity of lies

Once he decided what to do, Ji Xun moved quickly.He communicated with the police station first, then finalized the lawyer, and finally brought the lawyer to Xi Lei's hometown, a remote mountain village, Xijia Village at 26 am on the [-]th.

Ji Xun found the dead tree full of tumors, and in the yard behind the dead tree, Xi Lei's mother was feeding the chickens. Her name was An Xinhe.

"Auntie," Ji Xun raised his voice, "I came here today to discuss something with you on Zeng Peng's behalf. He wants to take back the house he gave to Xi Lei."

He deliberately pointed out the house, but An Xinhe was like a wooden man, didn't respond at all, just stared at him blankly, turned and entered the room, and then Xi Lei's father, Xi Zhengping, came out, Xi Lei's father was short, fat, like A well-developed wax gourd rolled over from the stairs.

When the person came in front of him, the red and swollen eyes were revealed, narrowed into a slit on the face, three points of doubt, three points of vigilance, pierced through this slit.Xi Zhengping said vigilantly:

"What to get back, how to get it back? The house book is written with Lei Lei's name, Lei Lei died, this house belongs to our family, and Xiao Fang will marry a wife and have children there in the future, don't bully me The country people are ignorant and cheat money from me!"

Before Xi Zhengping came out, he was burning paper for Xi Lei.

He smelled of fireworks and sandalwood, and his eyes were red and swollen from crying. He was indeed sad when his daughter died, and he has not fully recovered from the grief—but it does not prevent him from using the savings left by his daughter after her death for many years. On the son, buy [-] sneakers and [-] to [-] mobile phones for him.

Ji Xun turned his gaze and saw the young man on the stairs playing games with his head bowed. Xi Lei's younger brother was called Xi Fang.He didn't care what the lawyer and Xi Zhengping said, and Xi Zhengping didn't care about him either. He pushed open the door of the small courtyard, went upstairs, and talked to Xi Fang:

"Playing games? I play too, let's form a team together."

"Uncle, can you do it?" Xi Fang rubbed the screen of his phone, frantically releasing his skills, "I'm a diamond."

"Eldest nephew, your uncle is now king." Ji Xun sneered.No one knows how much time a poor, bored author spends on games.

The two formed a team and played two random sets. Winning or losing was not important. Ji asked, "I went to Ningshi with the car a few days ago. Do you think Ningshi is fun?"

"What kind of car? After my sister died, my dad was whining there every day. How could he be in the mood to take me out to play?"

"The time when the Podocarpus was sold. Didn't many people go to the village? Why, you weren't there?"

"You said that—" Xi Fang was stunned, but his attention was still on the game, which attracted all his attention, "That time, the aunts in the village went to the city to buy new year's goods, and they didn't go to play. There were two people in total. Men, a Teacher Cheng, and Brother Daming."

This answer surprised Ji Xun, but it was a good thing to some extent.

Judging from the current investigation, Tang Jinglong's small private actions did not attract any opponents for him, but earned him a reputation as a "great good man". The probability of the murderer killing Tang Jinglong because of Xi Lei has greatly increased. Considering this, there are only a few who have motives, Xi Lei's parents and brothers, Cheng Zheng who bought Xi Lei's tombstone at the funeral.

On the night of Tang Jinglong's disappearance, both Xi Zhengping and Xi Fang were in the small village, they can be ruled out, the remaining two are Xi Lei's mother, An Xinhe, and Xi Lei's teacher, Cheng Zheng.

Ji Xun also wanted to know more clearly what happened on the day Tang Jinglong disappeared, so he asked, "Who is Brother Daming?"

"The only one in the village who wears leather shoes." Xi Fang said, "It's just two doors away from my house."

No need to think about what the two households next door to Xi Zhengping are like, Ji Xun has already seen the target task in the crowd downstairs.In a small village, everything is slow, news is the fastest, and now a group of people are gathered outside Xi Zhengping's small courtyard to watch the excitement, among them is a young man wearing leather shoes.

Ji Xun walked upstairs again, and when he passed the small courtyard, he saw the lawyer and Xi Zhengping.

The lawyer talked about reasoning and dragging the law, and almost convinced Xi Zhengping. The man who was angry just now began to hesitate, and asked in detail: "In short...you just want to say that Zeng Peng can take the house back, but If I let Zeng Peng move the grave, Zeng Peng is willing to give us part of the compensation? And he has no money in hand now, it will take a while to pay?"

"Plenty of real gold."

"What if Zeng Peng repents after moving the grave and refuses to pay?"

"We can sign a contract for the money, have it notarized, and then find a guarantor. This is the one next to me. If Zeng Peng doesn't pay, this one will." The lawyer pointed at Ji Xun .

This was discussed with the lawyer before Ji Xun came.Part of the money in Zeng Peng’s house was obtained from drug trafficking and needed to be confiscated from the national treasury, but Ji Xun didn’t want Xi Zhengping to know this, and he still wanted to preserve the last dignity for Zeng Peng in front of Xi Lei’s family.After discussing and discussing, they went in such a big circle.

After pointing out Ji Xun, the lawyer spit again and continued to persuade Xi Zhengping: "Think about what I said just now, a daughter can't stay with her parents forever, so treat this money as a dowry, and you marry her—do you think so? "

The lawyer turned his head and shouted at the crowd outside.

Everyone burst into laughter: "Yes, whoever says no, you can get a dowry in exchange for the first dowry in a radius of a hundred miles! People in the city have money and will not lie to you. Promise!"

Everyone agreed, and Xi Zhengping was also persuaded. He nodded and agreed: "Since Zeng Peng is sincere, let's move the grave..."

There was a bang.

The wooden board in the yard fell down, and it was so heavy that it fell on An Xinhe who had been working.

Ji Xun glanced at An Xinhe.Since he came here, An Xinhe has never seen An Xinhe resting, feeding chickens, drying clothes, cooking, and tidying up the yard. There seems to be endless work waiting for her to do here. She is like a silent old cow, in the boundless Plowing between fields.

"Don't move, don't move," Xi Zhengping yelled at his wife impatiently, "We're talking about such an important matter now, can't you just stop and listen and get an idea? You don't know what you're doing every day!"

Interestingly, there is no farmer and whip behind the old cow, and no one here makes her do so much work.

Ji Xun walked across the yard and came to Brother Daming.There was a little girl at Brother Daming's feet, among a group of old and young men who surrounded the yard to watch the fun, the little girl was a little red in the green bushes, so precious.

"Brother, here's a cigarette." Ji Xun shared a cigarette, took a lollipop in his mouth, and gave another one to the little girl, "Little sister, you have it too."

The girl was dark and thin, with a small face like a cat, she looked at him timidly, and hid behind Brother Daming.

"My daughter is shy, don't worry about it." Brother Daming patted the girl on the shoulder, "Say thank you to uncle."

"Thank you uncle." The little girl replied in a low voice, taking the candy from Ji Xun's hand.

Ji Xun stretched his hand into his pocket, and found out more candies like a magic trick: "Take a few more, and give a share to my sister and sister."

"...No need." The girl whispered, "There are no older sisters."

"Is your father the only child?" Ji Xun teased the little girl, "The neighbor's elder sister is also an elder sister."

"Go and play with your grandparents." Brother Daming suddenly patted the little girl on the shoulder, drove the girl away, and said to Ji Xun with a smile, "There are really not many girls in the village. When they reach their age, they are all married. Let alone young girls There are not many adults, those who have money in their hands, and those who have relatives outside have all moved. Now there are fewer and fewer people in the village. The little girl in my family has no two playmates since she was a child. She is too lonely. gone."

"The loss of rural population is the inevitability of social development." Ji Xun said, "By the way, I want to ask something."

"You said."

"Before you went to the city to sell Luo Hansong, and when you came back, you ate at the restaurant in the hometown. Did someone leave the table halfway?"

"Let me think about it..." Brother Daming recalled for a moment, "Yes, there is."

"Cheng Zheng left the meeting, before nine o'clock in the evening, right." Ji Xun said directly, "Where is An Xinhe, did you leave the meeting too?"

"We're eating in the private room, and there's no clock hanging there, how can we keep track of the time." Brother Daming shook his head this time, "I remember Teacher Cheng leaving the table, this time it's just me and him two men; as for the aunts who will go out?" I can't remember who didn't go out. Why do you ask that?"

Ji Xun's tongue moved, and the lollipop in his mouth moved from his left cheek to his right cheek: "It's nothing, just ask casually. Ask casually, I don't think there is a health center in the village, what do you usually do when you bump into each other? Just now A big board fell down, if you are not careful, what should you do if the bone breaks?"

"Don't worry, there are people in the village who understand medicine, and Aunt An is a nurse."

"She's a nurse?" Ji Xun was surprised, and then asked, "Is she the only one in the village who knows medicine?"

"There is also Teacher Cheng. Teacher Cheng is a teacher and knows a little bit about everything." Brother Daming took it for granted.

After finishing all the questions that should be asked, Ji Xun walked towards the location of Cheng Zheng's house that Brother Daming pointed out. No one paid attention, and a hidden line of sight passed through the crowd, followed quietly.

Cheng Zheng’s house is at the end of the village. It is an earthen house that is common in the countryside. The earthen house has different flowered clothes. It is a childish painting on the white wall of the house, the sun, flowers, and children carrying schoolbags holding hands. .

But they are all faded now, all dejected in the scorching sun and wind and rain.

When Ji Xun arrived here, Cheng Zhengzheng was squatting in the yard digging the soil. He did it patiently and meticulously. He dug the soil and dug up the hibernating earthworms. He pushed the earthworms aside before continuing, so as not to hurt innocent little lives.

Ji Xun looked around here.A corner of the yard is leaning against a fertilizer bag. From the open mouth of the bag, one can see white powder inside, which is boric acid. The word "boric acid" is written on the fertilizer bag. The same thing is in Xi Zhengping's yard, walking all the way. I have seen it in other yards that I have come to. This is a common chemical that can be used for both killing cockroaches and farming.

Tang Jinglong died of boric acid.

This conclusion flashed lightly in Ji Xun's mind, and was put down by the master at will.

How Tang Jinglong died, he didn't care too much; who killed Tang Jinglong, he didn't care too much.He came here to fulfill his promise to Xia Youqing, and to find out the reason for Xi Lei's death—that is, what secret was Tang Jinglong hiding that Xi Lei was hiding.

Tang Jinglong who killed Xi Lei had many secrets, and Xi Lei also observed Tang Jinglong's many secrets.But she has choices.She is silent on illegal surrogacy because she has access to and knows these women are willing.She continued to hibernate, and she discovered a brand new secret. This secret was very important to Tang Jinglong, and it was also very important to her, so she ignored the danger.

Wood carvings of nineteen eyeless girls.Ji Xun thought.

There is a possibility, if this is the case... If Tang Jinglong really did this, Xi Lei would definitely be furious, and would definitely hold on to it. This is the pain she was born with.

But this is still entirely a guess, guessing can be wild, but if you want to tell Xia Youqing a truthful story, you need some corroborating evidence, and the only person in the village might as well choose the only outsider in the village.

Ji Xun Chongcheng was showing a bright smile: "Teacher, good morning."

"Good morning." Cheng Zheng was surprised, and quickly patted the mud on his hands, stood up and greeted, "Is there anything wrong? Come and have a cup of tea first."

"Teacher is too polite." Ji Xun followed Cheng Zheng into the room. He sat down and watched Cheng Zheng busy. When the tea was served, he took a sip and chatted, "How does it feel to kill Tang Jinglong? Quite Take it easy."

Did Cheng Zheng kill Tang Jinglong? —God knows.

Open the door and start a thunderstorm, disturb his heart first.

Just like what Ji Xun said that day, Xu Xinran played tricks on them.The "organ trade" involved in the knife-throwing that he confessed was not at all like what he implied, implying a major case of kidney smuggling.

The subject of the operation was an eight-year-old boy named Lu Xiaoen. He has been waiting for a kidney source since 2014, and the source of the kidney he replaced is well documented.

The only problem is, according to the order, this kidney does not belong to Lu Xiaoen at all.

After an interview, the police learned that Tang Jinglong had worked as an organ donation coordinator for a period of time before becoming a medical representative, and his good colleague at that time is now in charge of organ donation at the hospital.How much money is the favor behind this? Other members of the task force have already been followed up and responsible.

Huo Ranyin's attention was always on this child named Lu Xiaoen.

2015年12月17日陆小恩入院，20日动手术，术后15天，也就是2016年1月05日出院，出院时是爷爷奶奶来接，留的地址是幸福花园1幢202室。

On January 1, only 05 days away from Xi Lei's death on the 11th, it happened to be the day after Tang Jinglong quit the Lizhu Community, and his surname was also the same as that of the carpenter who worked in Tang Jinglong's home!

Huo Ranyin almost immediately remembered the unfinished blue and white flower stand he saw that day.

Yes, nylon anti-static gloves are one of the most commonly worn tools for carpenters. If Lu Xiaoen's father, Lu Ping, was a carpenter in Tang Jinglong's family and often went in and out of Tang Jinglong's house, then it would be natural for the gloves to be stained with white paint and Rao Fangjie's DNA.

Without any hesitation, Huo Ranyin immediately led people to the Garden of Happiness. He knocked on the door of Room 202, and an old man with gray hair and wrinkled face came out to answer the door.

"Who are you?" the old man asked.

"We are friends of Lao Lu, is Lao Lu there?" Tan Mingjiu answered with a smile, his shiny bald head always creates a comedian effect that makes people approachable anytime and anywhere.

"I went out to work, and I don't know when I'll be back." Hearing that it was his son's friend, the old man lost his guard. "Do you have anything to do with him? Tell me if you have something to tell, and I'll tell him when he comes back."

"Is Xiao En at home?" Huo Ranyin said, and handed over the fruit he had prepared earlier, "I heard that Xiao En had an operation before, how is your recovery now?"

It was only then that Tan Mingjiu knew Huo Ranyin's intention to buy fruit at the stall downstairs when he entered the door. He secretly gave him a thumbs-up: the captain is the best, and he was thinking thoughtfully!

"You're too polite. It's good enough to come to visit. Why don't you buy some fruit?" The old man said again and again, moving aside to let Huo Ranyin and the others go in, and then shouted inside, "Come out, Xiao En, your father's friend!" Come to see you."

A door in the room was opened, and a little boy, Lu Xiaoen, stood inside the door.

Lu Xiaoen was short in stature, with a pale face and looked a little weak. Holding a red crayon in his right hand, he glanced at Huo Ranyin timidly, and then opened the door wider: "Uncle, you belong to my father." friend?"

"Yes, kid, do you know where your father is now?" Tan Mingjiu knelt down and touched Lu Xiaoen's head.

"I don't know," Lu Xiaoen shook his head, "Since I was discharged from the hospital, Dad hasn't come to see me. Uncle, I miss Dad so much. You call Dad and ask Dad to come back. Xiao En is very good, and he is on time every day Taking medicine to review, and helping grandparents wash the dishes and clean the floor, Xiao En has done what Dad said, it's time for Dad to come back and see Xiao En."

The door gap opened wider.Huo Ranyin saw the contents of the room. There was a bed and a desk crowded together in the small room. These were all made of wood, and the style was different from the ones on the market. It seemed that it was the furniture made by his father himself.The little boy's certificate of merit and his perfect test paper are posted on the wall. The area on the table is divided into two parts, one is filled with medicine bottles, and the other is filled with books and an iPad. The iPad is playing the animation of Superman. In the photo of father and son on the desktop, the father in the photo is wearing a red cape drawn in crayon, and the color of the cape has just been half filled.

He withdrew his gaze from inspecting the table, and then looked at other places in the room.On the window sill, he saw several lively birds with different postures. At first glance, he thought it was a sparrow from outside flying to the window. After a closer look, he found that it was a wood carving.

Ornaments, he thought of the unique 19 dolls without eyes that seemed to be individually customized in Xi Lei's residence.

"These ornaments are pretty delicate." Huo Ranyin asked casually, "Have you ever sold them?"

"Sold it." The old man who followed in laughed, "This craft is for eating. When you have work, you make big things, and when you don't have work, you make small things. After you make a few, you put them in the Sell ​​it in someone else's shop."

"What store?" Tan Mingjiu hurriedly asked.

"I can't remember what craft shop it is, but it's in the flower and bird market anyway."

Tan Mingjiu was surprised and delighted, and almost cried out. Huo Ran knew what he was surprised about. The Fate flower shop where the murderer bought flowers was in the flower and bird market, which coincided with Lu Ping's activities!

If Lu Ping is the murderer, he can simply explain why the murderer chooses a flower shop that is not ranked high on the Internet, and the actual location is not based on the entrance and exit, because he is familiar with this place, and he chose a shop that he is familiar with.

No, wait.

Huo Ranyin thought of Ji Xun's hand inserted into his hair that day, and suddenly realized that Lu Ping didn't choose the one he was familiar with, but Xi Lei's favorite!

He made puppets customized by Xi Lei, maybe... when he handed the puppets to Xi Lei one by one, he fell in love with this plain-looking woman with bright eyes and a warm smile.

He was just silent at first, standing not too far away, watching this woman secretly. All the direct intersections between him and her may be those nineteen eyeless girl dolls.

As time goes by, this hidden feeling may become old, or it may disappear.

Until this day, Tang Jinglong found him.

He took Xi Lei's favorite flower, knocked on Xi Lei's door, tied her with a rope, and wanted to find out what Tang Jinglong wanted to buy after spending a lot of money—a healthy kidney donated to his child.

Tang Jinglong's unknown secret hidden by Xi Lei.

……

Finally, he covered her with a pillow.

The heart belonging to the father disappeared, but the heart belonging to the man revived. He fed her the birds, tidied her hair, and even stuffed a doll she liked into her hands.

he left.

After coming out of Lu Xiaoen's house, Huo Ranyin and Tan Mingjiu went straight to the address on Lu Ping's household registration book, and at the same time sent Lu Ping's photo back to the bureau, asking the bureau to call up the surveillance video of Yuanfeng flower shop again, and put Lu Ping's photo with the surveillance video. Portraits for comparison.

Lu Ping does not live with his parents. He has his own house, which is located on the first floor of an old-fashioned community half an hour away from Xingfu Garden Community.

When they arrived, news came back from the bureau: On the night Xi Lei died, Lu Ping had indeed entered the Yuanfen flower shop and bought a bouquet of flowers!

Corresponding to the evidence one by one, this time Huo Ranyin was not polite, and after knocking on the door and no one answered, he directly led someone to kick the door in!

The door slammed open, and what appeared in front of us was an empty and unfurnished residence, with only the smell of detergent and disinfectant, wandering wantonly in the empty house, even the toilet and sink in the bathroom were knocked out It has almost turned into a rough house.

As long as it has been done, there will be traces.

A piece or two of the floral mosaic tile floor in the bathroom was broken, and through the cracks he could see brown marks.

The trace left after the blood dries up.

"Who are you and what are you doing?" A voice came from outside the door, and a fat aunt looked around curiously.

"We are the police." Tan Mingjiu stepped forward, "Do you know when the owner of this place left?"

"It's been a while." The curiosity in the fat aunt's eyes became stronger, and she rambled, "Anyway, it was a week or so ago, and I saw him packing his luggage and doing carpentry on the last day before leaving. Dead, I met him when I went out to take out the trash that night, and I greeted him, but he ignored him—after that, the moving company came to move things.”

After Tan Mingjiu sent away the curious fat aunt, she came back again.

"Notify the inspector Yu Yan Yu Yanke colleagues to come," Huo Ranyin, "check whether the blood here belongs to Tang Jinglong."

"Fuck, colorful mosaic tiles, traces of blood, evacuated the house to hide it, this is probably the scene of the crime, the grandson is cruel enough, not to mention the 80-year-old parents, the son who just finished the operation is willing to leave without seeing him , is he still a person!" Tan Mingjiu cursed.

"It's not willing." Huo Ranyin said coldly.

The little boy's house came to Huo Ranyin's mind, the certificates on the wall, and the photo of the red cloak on the table.

"It's shameless to go back to see my son—notify the various departments, issue a warrant, and arrest the suspect Lu Ping!"
