sincerity of lies

"Firefly!"

The shrill sound cut through the frozen air like a blade.

Zhang Chunhua left her daughter behind and rushed towards the photos. She tremblingly grabbed the torn photos and tried to put them back together, but how to put the broken things back together?

"mom!"

The daughter's face was distorted, she grabbed her mother's arm, and forced her to look at herself viciously:

"Where are you looking, Yingying is me, I am Yingying!"

The mask that she refused to move just now is now torn off by herself. The face under the mask is not different from the face in the video and photo she posted on her personal homepage, but it is only different from the torn photo now. Seven points are similar.

No, maybe not even seven points.

It was hard to imagine that the angry and distorted face in front of him could be the face in the photo.

"You are not!" At this moment, Zhang Chunhua's eyes were bright, she seemed to be suddenly awake, and she seemed to have fallen into a deeper madness, "You are not, you are a thief, you are a liar, you are a robber, you stole Her face, you lied to others that your name is Yingying, you snatched her from me!"

"But these are useless, you are not her at all!"

"In this world, she is the only one! Only Huo Qiying is Huo Qiying!"

The unnamed tombstone, Lao Hu's riddle, the words of others, the face of 'Yingying', and now, Zhang Chunhua's cry, finally put together the girl hidden in the mist of time.

Huo Qiying, the firefly of Haiying.

Hu Kun's beloved blue tears.

The farce ended when the police came to the door, and the assistant called the police.

Ji Xun revealed his identity, and after briefly describing the matter, he said to the policeman who came to mediate, "I want to learn about the situation from Zhang Chunhua alone."

This small request was agreed by the local police without hesitation, and they were asked to go to the studio behind.

However, Zhang Chunhua was unwilling to talk to Ji Xun.

She sat in a chair, her eyes drooping, her eyes fixed on the photo firmly held in her hand.

Ji Xun pulled out Huo Ranyin's photo and placed it in front of Zhang Chunhua.

A trace of confusion flashed across Zhang Chunhua's face.

"This is Huo Ranyin, the child of Huo Qiyu. According to his seniority, he should be Huo Qiying's nephew."

Zhang Chunhua finally had a reaction, she nodded, as if she was a machine that had just been oiled: "So it's the second young lady's child."

But as long as you can communicate.

Ji Xun read it right, now is Zhang Chunhua's rare sobriety time.

"He wants to know something about his family's past." Ji Xun said, "About Huo Qiying."

"What did he know?" Zhang Chunhua asked.

"He doesn't know anything. Huo Qiying has never appeared in the Huo family's mouth."

This sentence gave Zhang Chunhua some excitement, and a more delicate expression appeared on Zhang Chunhua's face, which was a kind of clear contempt, as if to say "it really is".

"Then let's talk about it from then on, starting with why Yingying ran away from home..."

Ji Xun listened patiently.

Yingying is beautiful.You have seen the photos, and you know how beautiful she is, but you have never seen her in real life, so you don't know what kind of magical beauty this beauty is.

Perhaps because of Zhang Chunhua's illness, when she was talking about the past, a unique and eerie feeling came over her face, and Ji Xun seemed to be drawn into this weightless vortex.

Boss Huo owned two ocean-going ships. At that time, he was a well-known figure here.

At that time, everyone liked to come to the big man's house so much. Boss Huo's house had different guests every day. For these guests, Boss Huo had to restrain himself in every way.

Boss Huo's employees, employees' families, and even outsiders who have never met before are very good, but behind the outsiders, when only his family is around, he is not so good.

When I say 'not so good', I don't mean that he can beat or swear at people, nor that he has a bad relationship with his wife. I just mean that he has no way to escape the eyes of outsiders, and he lives in the eyes of outsiders all the time.

He fears his daughter.

It wasn't Zhang Chunhua who said this, but Huo Qiying.

"Sister Hua, I think Dad is afraid of me."

It was a spring day of one year, when the stars were falling and the moon was setting, a red lamp illuminated the room, Huo Qiying said while shaking her feet on the bed at home.

"Yingying, don't talk nonsense, Boss Huo is afraid of you." Zhang Chunhua was not much older than Yingying. The girl with two braids finished cleaning the closet, then went to pull the quilt on the bed and shook it to cover Huo Qiying.

The plain quilt covered Huo Qiying completely, but with a shake, Huo Qiying's head and calves protruded from the edge of the quilt again.

Bai Nen's feet were still moving, resting on the edge of the bed, shaking slightly, like a small boat rippling on the water at night.

Huo Qiying's hair was naturally curly, with thin curls that gently clung to her cheeks, exactly like those modern cover girls.

"Sister Hua, Dad is afraid of me." Huo Qiying sighed old-fashionedly, "He thinks I'm too good-looking, and other people like me too much, so he's always afraid that something will happen, so he just wants me to use some dust things, dusty clothes, dusty quilts, dusty room, dusty room..."

"The family is very good, not gray." Zhang Chunhua said.But she could not help but feel the truth of what Huo Qiying said, the lack of bright colors in the home, more and more clothes tend to be black, gray, blue... Previously, they were not allowed to wear nice clothes when going out, but now not only When going out, even at home, Boss Huo began not to wear bright clothes for Yingying. Even she was unwilling to wear those old clothes.

Is it because of those guests who come to the house every day and praise Yingying every time they come to the house?

But this kind of low-key is of no use.

Some need a wrapping of clothes, and some, a wrapping of clothes.

A girl who has not yet fully grown is like a doll made of milk. At this time, the darker the color, the more she is pure and flawless.

"The moon outside is missing a corner." Huo Qiying turned over on the bed.

Her slightly curly long hair broke free from the quilt, and fell lazily on the quilt, shining black and thin lights under the moonlight. It is the glow of spider silk.

Huo Qiying propped up her upper body and rested her chin with her hand: "Sister Hua, what's it like outside of my hometown? People who come to visit always say that the scenery outside is more open, and they're not the only ones who say that, the books I read also say the same,' The stars are flat and the fields are wide, the moon is surging and the river is flowing', I really want to go out and see such a scenery..."

Zhang Chunhua did not answer.

She closed the balcony door for Huo Qiying, covering the view from the window.

But she thought, Yingying might be right, sometimes people are restrained at home, but there are always different scenery outside.

Firefly is always right.

Half a month after that night, Huo Qiying suddenly avoided the rest of the family and waved at her mysteriously.

She was puzzled, but she didn't disturb the others. She quietly entered Huo Qiying's room while everyone was going out.

No one was seen in the room.

Only the bed curtain, drawn down in broad daylight.

Yingying hiding in the bed?

Zhang Chunhuan thought to himself, stepped forward and yelled softly, raised his hand and opened the curtain.

There was no one inside, only the quilt that had been made, lying on the bed lonely.

At this time, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister Hua!"

Zhang Chunhua was startled, turned around suddenly, and saw——

The sky is as blue as the clouds, as fluffy as the clouds, and the sun outlines her fluffy like golden circles.

Huo Qiying was wearing a dress that she had never seen even in TV magazines, and she turned out from the balcony in front of her. The skirt was layered on top of each other, dragging a long gauze tail, which was decorated with white pearls.

The skirt of the skirt is layered and wavy, and the sleeves are also beautiful, surrounding the white arm like petals. The arm is not harsh and thin, it has a full curvature, and the hand feeling can be imagined.

"Does it look good?"

Huo Qiying jumped in from the balcony, holding the hem of her skirt with both hands, and spun around like a swan in front of Zhang Chunhua.

The hem of the skirt, like the wings of a swan, stretches and blooms.

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's so beautiful..." Zhang Chunhua said slowly, wanting to touch but afraid of scratching the skirt with her rough fingers.

However, Huo Qiying roughly picked up her skirt and stuffed it into Zhang Chunhua's hands.

"It was pretty at first glance, but then I thought it was just like that." The skirt was very long, and the tail gauze held by Zhang Chunhua did not hinder Huo Qiying's movements. She nestled into the chair next to her, "Although it should be quite expensive."

It shouldn't be expensive, it must be expensive.

Zhang Chunhua looked carefully at the pearls on the veil, pearls were not all the jewels of this dress, there were flowers made of sapphires on the belt of this dress.

really beautiful.

She fondled it fondly: "Yingying, where did this come from?"

"Charles sent it." Huo Qiying said, she gestured, "the man with black hair and gray eyes who came home last time, he has foreign descent, his English name is Charles, and his Chinese name seems to be Lin, oops, I forgot."

"Is it too expensive..." Zhang Chunhua hesitated.

"It's not expensive. It's not the clothes that are expensive, but me." Huo Qiying said with a smile, "It's just that it's not easy to send at home and abroad. Otherwise, you can have as much as you want. By the way, he also sent a letter , Said to send a boat ticket, let our family travel abroad."

She is beautiful.

Beautiful people know their beauty well.

All the costumes and jewels are just frivolous ornaments to adorn her.

At this time, a kind of resentment arose in Zhang Chunhua's heart. Why didn't Boss Huo want to dress Yingying in beautiful clothes?Obviously Boss Huo has this ability.He can fully release the beauty of his daughter.Is Boss Huo really afraid of his increasingly beautiful daughter?Did he think that using some dark tones could erase the brilliance of Yingying?

What's wrong with being beautiful?

"What happened later?" Ji Xun couldn't help asking, "Huo Qiying got on the boat?"

"Later..." Zhang Chunhua said, "Boss Huo found that skirt, and Boss Huo was furious. In front of Yingying, he tore up that skirt and threw it into the fire."

Intuition tells Ji Xun that this is not all.

Zhang Chunhua did not finish.She continued to describe the things in her memory——

This shouldn't be, she obviously hid the skirt well, why did Boss Huo find out?

She watched Boss Huo pointing at Huo Qiying's face and angrily scolded her daughter for not understanding her good intentions, with a fierce face; Huo Qiying curled up in the corner of the sofa with her legs folded, stared at the floor tiles coldly, without saying a word.In front of them, the luxurious skirt twisted and wailed in the flames, turning into ashes; while she was inspecting, inspecting, inspecting every corner of the house.

She finally found out that a piece of colorful skirt was protruding from the edge of the corridor on the second floor.

Mrs. Huo, standing at the corner of the second floor, watched all this.

She suddenly woke up.

In Yingying's room, except for her, only Yingying's mother can enter.

This skirt was discovered by Mrs. Huo and told Boss Huo.

She figured everything out. In this family, not only the father is afraid of the beauty of his daughter, but even the mother seems to be secretly jealous of her daughter's beauty. Otherwise, why wouldn't the mother let her daughter wear a beautiful dress?

The father fears the beauty of his daughter.

A mother is jealous of her daughter's beauty.

Beauty is a magic mirror, and this magic mirror reflects the evil in people's hearts.

Behind them, the luxurious skirts twisted and wailed in the flames, and turned into ashes. It was more like Yingying's wailing without exit!

In the middle of the night, she sneaked into the hall, pushed aside the thick ashes, picked out the remaining pearls and sapphires, and then entered Yingying's room.The black ash stained her hands and skirt, and she was only ashamed of those deformed pearls.

Huo Qiying didn't sleep. She picked up a sapphire, blew on the ashes on it, and put it back in her hand to comfort her: "Okay, sister Hua, don't cry. Look, the sapphire is still so bright, it is not afraid of burning."

"I didn't tell Boss Huo." She explained hastily.

"I know." Huo Qiying said, "Dad is always watching me. He found this skirt suspiciously, and all his guesses in the past seem to have come true."

"Firefly—"

"Shh." However, Huo Qiying raised a finger and pressed it to her lips, then she took out another envelope from under the pillow and handed it to her, "Look at this."

Another letter.

In addition to Chinese, there is also English, which she can't understand at all, but which is undoubtedly extremely noble.

Zhang Chunhua held her breath and saw a thin ticket and check flying out from the opening of the envelope.

Under the moonlit night, they landed on Huo Qiying's palm like two fluttering butterflies.

"so……"

"Yes." Zhang Chunhua sarcastically said, "There is really nothing to be attached to in this family. I helped Yingying get on the boat. I'm afraid Boss Huo was relieved from the bottom of his heart after his daughter disappeared."

Ji Xun remained silent for a long time.

Is the attitude of Boss Huo and his wife really like what Zhang Chunhua said?Judging from what happened to Huo Qiyu since then, it may not be true, these pasts are just Zhang Chunhua's subjective perspective.

But one thing is objective.

Judging from Zhang Chunhua's description, Huo Qiying's boat must not be her family's boat.

But according to Lao Hu, Huo Qiying was hiding in the Huo family's cabin.

why?

Did Huo Qiying, who left home, get on the wrong boat?

"That's fine." Zhang Chunhua said to herself, "Boss Huo will be relieved, and Yingying will be set free. Charles will take care of Yingying. Even if something happens to Charles, others will take good care of Yingying."

She was so sure, so convinced.

Because it was Huo Qiying.

Some people fear her, some people envy her, some people want to be her, but many more people, they love her, deeply in love with her.

Ji Xun came out of the room.

"Thanks." He greeted the convenient police outside.

"No thanks, it's all business, and we cooperate with each other. I don't know what the young man is thinking now. I don't need my own face, but someone else's. But that photo is really beautiful, it's so beautiful." The policeman shook his head after sighing, "Too beautiful is not good."

Ji Xun who walked to the door stopped.

"Yes." He turned his head and smiled, "Beauty is a flower that blooms at the point of a gun."

Flowers are bloody and poisonous.

The author has something to say: =w=

"The stars hang down in the plains and the fields are wide, and the moon surges in the river" - Du Fu's "Books Traveling at Night"

Chapter [-] Women are not only people, but also objects.Put it on the scale, weigh the weight and value, look at the flesh and teeth, sell whole, piece by piece, organ, body, sell it again, and again, you can sell it for a price anyway.

The bureau's investigation of Chen Jiashu still has no new progress.

The setting sun is like a red balloon that has lost its hydrogen gas, and it is dotted heavily between the mountains at the end of the city. It only needs a little more force to smash it down.

Where did it go?

Maybe it hits people's hearts and creates a haze that spreads in all directions.

"Did Chen Jiashu really hide it so well?" Wen Yangyang sighed in the interval of clueless investigation.

This sigh was entangled with the haze in my heart, and turned into a melancholy that could not be vented.

For the police, the most depressing thing is to see the criminal, but there is not enough evidence to bring him to justice.

"Accordingly, this shouldn't be the case." Tan Mingjiu picked up the words. After several days of intensive and endless evidence collection, the chatter who was usually lively and lively began to feel listless. "Everything that has been done will leave traces. What's more, what Chen Jiashu did It's not a small matter, there are too many links and too many people involved, no matter how we think we should pull out the carrots and bring out the mud, and the whole line should be cut and chopped."

Tan Mingjiu has said this kind of argument more than once in these days.

Perhaps there was some confusion at the beginning, but later on, it has become a bit of stale complaint.

The words of complaint fell down, but they didn't make any ripples in the stagnant office.

On the contrary, the setting sun outside the window had completely set, and the night, like the haze in their hearts, came up layer by layer.

Suddenly, no one was talking in the office, and needles could be heard all around. The silence lasted for a few seconds. Tan Mingjiu said disappointedly, "Forget it, are you going to eat? Come back and continue working overtime."

After finishing speaking, Wen Yangyang gave him a wink.

He looked along and saw Huo Ranyin in the captain's office, with his arms folded, his shoulders resting on the seat, facing the computer.

If I remember correctly, Huo Ranyin has been in this posture since he started going to work in the afternoon. No, thinking about it carefully, this morning, and even yesterday, it seems that he was in this posture.

Except for the old-fashioned "dedication" emotion, this motionless appearance doesn't look like a person, but a statue that stays inside and frightens them.

He communicated with Wen Yangyang with his eyes.

The Huo team must have been under a lot of pressure recently.

Very big, today the two captains were scolded by Zhou Ju because of their slow progress.

Where did the gossip come from?

One came, fidelity.

Jue Zhou scolded people like a machine gun... Fortunately, Dui Huo doesn't like to swear, but it's not much better. He's usually fine. When something happens, the other party's eyes will be swept over, just like a cold storage with full performance. Freeze you on the spot.

Tan Mingjiu was concerned, and gradually winked.

Although the progress is slow...But I can't be in a hurry to find out why. People are iron, food is steel, and I feel good after eating a full meal. Would you like to ask Team Huo to eat?

dare not.you go.

I dare not.

The two looked at each other.

Wen Yangyang hesitated and said, "How about... Teacher Ji come to persuade me?"

"Yes." Tan Mingjiu pondered, "Where's Lao Ji?"

This sound did not call Ji Xun who was far away in Fuzhou, but Huo Ranyin.

As if in the blink of an eye, Huo Ranyin teleported from the captain's office to Tan Mingjiu.

"Captain Huo." Tan Mingjiu was taken aback.

Huo Ranyin turned on the projector, and saw a flash on the screen, and the naked female body appeared in everyone's eyes.

Faced with this shock suddenly, Wen Yangyang's face turned red instantly, but when she opened her mouth, the first thing she blurted out was not an exclamation, but the case: "This is an pornographic movie stored in the Chen family and cell phone. "

"That's right." Huo Ranyin gave him a rare look of approval.

Encouraged, Wen Yangyang spoke more smoothly: "If I remember correctly, there are three kinds of pornographic movies stored in the Chen family and their mobile phones, all of which have corresponding purchase records. This..."

She paused.

"Any questions?"

"It's quite normal for a man to have a few porn movies in his mobile phone." Tan Mingjiu also recovered from the shock of watching porn movies at work, "I remember that there are more contents in Chen Jiahe's hard drive, which is several G , I looked at them one by one at the time, and they were all..."

He quickly swallowed back the words that this man couldn't say, and looked at Huo Ranyin who seemed to have the same experience as him in the office with sympathy, and said in a civilized way:

"There are no worldly desires."

These words did not arouse Huo Ranyin's sympathy, but instead aroused Wen Yangyang's small stare.

"Is it normal to save pornography?"

"It can only be said that this kind of phenomenon exists." Tan Mingjiu shamelessly dismissed it immediately, "But these are all mistakes made by people who are not sufficiently enlightened. People's policemen like us who are law-abiding, let alone collect them. When encountering this kind of thing, immediately give him some criticism and education, let him understand what can be done and what cannot be done."

"When I came back from Qinshi to rest, you were working overtime for the missing persons in Panchanning City, especially those who went to the hospital for a physical examination not long before they disappeared."

The two immediately thought of the fear of being overwhelmed by the vast archives.

"Later, the survey results from other cities were also collected. I went through them all and remembered the faces of all the victims."

"..."

Captain is strong!The two were speechless and could only worship.

"This is one of them." Huo Ranyin said the key.

"Wait, that means," Wen Yangyang reacted, "we finally caught the Chen family and the pigtails involved? The medical examination in the hospital was the source of these people's disappearance. After the physical examination, they were identified. The adaptability of the body organs, so they disappeared, and became the victims of Chen Jiashu's organ trade—”

Her gaze flicked to the projector.

Looking at the screen at this time, while feeling deeply ugly, there is even more unspeakable sadness from the bottom of my heart.

Women are people.

Women are objects.

Put it on the scale, weigh the weight and value, look at the flesh and teeth, sell whole, piece by piece, organ, body, sell it again, and again, you can sell it for a price anyway.

"Think carefully about what you said just now." Huo Ranyin looked cold, "'became a victim of Chen Jiashu's organ trade', Chen Jiashu and Chen Jiahe belong to the same family, why should Chen Jiahe pay for their own things?"

"Captain Huo, you mean..." Tan Mingjiu said in astonishment.

"Maybe we're looking in the wrong direction."

The shadow that had been lurking in the heart for a long time, now discovered with doubts, grew tentacles wantonly, and rose like an octopus.

"Chen Jiashu may not be the person we are looking for, he is just a scapegoat."

The brand-new conjectures made in combination with doubtful points have thrown new ripples into this case that was about to become stagnant.

Circles of ripples oscillated in Huo Ranyin's mind, resonating his high spirits. During the time when his thoughts were extremely active, he didn't think of Zhou Ju, Yuan Yue, or anyone who worked with him on the case. colleague superior.

He instinctively took out his mobile phone, ready to tell Ji Xun the new doubts he discovered.

But his mind is too active now. While typing and leaving a message, he couldn't help thinking over and over again about all the things that happened around Chen Jiashu:

——Why do they firmly believe that Chen Jiashu is the main messenger of organ trafficking?

Because in the abandoned factory in the village behind Juanshan, there are large surgical instruments and unknown blood, and on the coast outside, there are traces of Chen Jiashu's boats moored.

——How did you find this abandoned factory?

Rely on Ji Xun's intuition.

Through intuition, Ji Xun led him along Xu Xinran's route to the village casino, and from the casino to the abandoned factory.

If Chen Jiashu is just a scapegoat.

Ji Xun's series of behaviors added bricks and tiles to Chen Jiashu's suspicion and directly misled all the police in the direction of investigation...

Huo Ranyin sat down on the seat in the office.

It was getting dark and he hadn't turned on the light yet.

In the dark office, only the cold light of the screen shone on his face, shaking gently with his breathing.It might not be the light that shakes, but Huo Ranyin's hand holding the phone.

He deleted all the clues to be sent to Ji Xun.
