sincerity of lies

The second hand on the watch ticked forward, like invisible drops of water, falling drop by drop on Huo Ranyin's pulse.

He looked at Ji Xun's face.

At this time, instead of the little bit of guilt and avoidance he had before, he began to look at Ji Xun's face openly.

He saw that Ji Xun's face changed slightly the moment Meng Lingshan spoke, but it was very subtle, so subtle that when he looked at it for the second time, there was no longer any clue on that face.

Ji Xun looked over at the same time.

They looked at each other for two seconds, Ji Xun's lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.

Ji Xun is still hesitating.

What would he say to Meng Lingshan?No matter what he said, as long as he was still here, it was not what Ji Xun really wanted to say.

Huo Ranyin lowered his eyes as if nothing had happened, and continued to type as if he was continuing to communicate with his colleagues on the case. Just his fingers operating on the screen, he had already quietly clicked on the ringtone interface of the phone, and clicked on the phone ringtone.

The bell rang, as if a phone call had happened.

Huo Ranyin stood up and gestured to Ji Xun to go out to answer the phone, then he didn't look at Ji Xun again, and quickly left the hotel room, standing outside the corridor.

Across the thin hotel wall, through a door that was concealed.

Eerie light seeps through the crack of the door, Ji Xun's low-pitched voice flows from the earphones, the red velvet carpet under the feet pulls out slender threads, like tapeworms dancing, abstract paintings of color blocks on the wall, red overlapped with yellow, green splashed with blue .

Huo Ranyin called Bureau Zhou.

The moment the phone was connected, Zhou Ju's voice was like splashing magma: "The wings have grown hard, right! Let me tell you, you have to be organized and disciplined, and you are not allowed to fucking act in private—"

"Zhou Bureau." Huo Ranyin said, "Meng Lingshan is calling Ji Xun now."

In the Bluetooth headset, Ji Xun asked Meng Lingshan urgently:

"Where are you now? Why didn't you show up? Is Chen Jiashu's death related to you?"

"Ji Xun, don't worry about this, it has nothing to do with you." Meng Lingshan said coldly.

"I have seen Meng Lingshan." Huo Ranyin said softly to Zhou Ju, "I have heard his voice, and I will not admit his mistake. I will apply again and immediately monitor and track Ji Xun's communication."

Within a breath, Zhou Ju scolded "Fuck", and he didn't know who he was scolding.

Then Zhou Ju said: "Hold on to Ji Xun, this call cannot be hung up, I will let them arrange it immediately."

"Yessir."

Huo Ranyin responded in a low voice.

"Where are you now?" Meng Lingshan asked again.

Ji Xun quickly answered the province and city he was in, and then said: "If you don't want to see the police, let's meet. If you don't want to tell the police the location, just tell me the location, how about it?"

Meng Lingshan was silent.Is he sneering, or thinking?

"I'm not a policeman now, and we're old classmates again. You should trust me, right?" Ji Xun said, "If you didn't trust me at all, you wouldn't choose to make this call."

"You believe me?"

"Subjectively, of course I trust you very much."

"Subjective." Meng Lingshan mocked.

"Otherwise? It's not for me to decide objectively, but for you to decide." Ji Xun's voice was also sarcasm, "But you hide it, as if keeping a secret for a while can give birth to a new little secret Come."

There is actually nothing wrong with Ji Xun's attitude.He hoped that Meng Lingshan would show up, and hoped that Meng Lingshan would explain the situation clearly to the police. If that was not possible, he would go to see Meng Lingshan and let Meng Lingshan explain clearly to himself.

Huo Ranyin listened to the conversation between the two, and silently analyzed it.

But Meng Lingshan chose to contact Ji Xun...for what purpose?

No matter what the purpose is, as long as Meng Lingshan is located successfully, everything will be revealed.

"Captain Huo, we have already begun to capture and analyze the specific location of Meng Lingshan's signal." On the phone, Huo Ranyin was contacted by Zhong Xiaojin, the glasses detective in charge of the network.

"Although you are not a policeman anymore, you still speak like a policeman." Meng Lingshan jokingly said, "I wanted to see you once, but now it seems that there is no difference between seeing you and seeing a policeman."

"Captain Huo, will Meng Lingshan want to hang up the phone?" Zhong Xiaojin exclaimed during the communication.

Without being reminded by the other party, Huo Ranyin also had the same premonition.

The clues are all under the nose. If Meng Lingshan hangs up the phone at this time, everything will fall short, and I am afraid that he will not be able to defend the second call from Meng Lingshan!

Huo Ranyin turned around instantly and entered the room.

The moment he entered, Ji Xun's gaze shot at him like lightning. He didn't even have the extra experience to pay attention to Ji Xun's face at the moment. He spoke quickly, seemingly speaking to Ji Xun, but actually speaking to Meng Lingshan:

"The police in Fuzhou Province received a report that some people found Cao Zhengbin's whereabouts."

Meng Lingshan is involved in the case of Chen Jiashu. No matter whether he committed suicide or not, the news related to Chen Jiashu's case, whether it is Zheng Xuewang who is in custody in the police station or Cao Zhengbin who is acting outside like Meng Lingshan, will surely bring him to justice. attract.

But when it comes to Zheng Xuewang, Ji Xun may not be able to hide it, but Cao Zhengbin can only be said.

"The phone is not hanging up." Zhong Xiaojin quickly informed Huo Ranyin, "The signal will be located immediately!"

Huo Ranyin was a little relieved, now he finally had time to pay attention to Ji Xun, he saw Ji Xun's elbow drooping, the phone left his ear, and put it behind his side.His thumb was on the speakerphone of the phone.

Did Ji Xun's posture guarantee that Meng Lingshan would not hear him, or that he would not hear Meng Lingshan's voice?

Maybe a little bit of both.

"Have you found someone?" Ji Xun asked in a short time.

"Report from the masses." Huo Ranyin replied.His gaze shifted calmly, from Ji Xun's face to the hotel window.At night, the windows of the hotel illuminate the scene of the room, and the faces of the people in it are blurred into a brown mass.But it is still in the light, and the surrounding lights still outline it.

"I'm going there now." Huo Ranyin took his time, "Cao Zhengbin's location..."

"Captain Huo, we have successfully located the signal!" Zhong Xiaojin said on the phone.

"...It's not far from here. This time I'll go by myself and cooperate with the local police." Huo Ranyin finished speaking.

"it is good."

Huo Ranyin turned to go out, Zhong Xiaojin reported to him on the phone: "The signal location results show that Mengyin Mountain is located in Fuzhou, a city along the coast, and it is an hour away from the city you are in, Team Huo, by high-speed train. We have already The local police station has been contacted, and the local police station is arranging manpower and preparing for action."

"I'll go there now." Huo Ranyin said.

"Huo Ranyin—" Ji Xun called him.

He turned back.

Ji Xun took a deep look at him: "Be careful on the road."

He smiled back at the other party: "Okay."

People are gone.

Ji Xun was silent for a moment, then put the phone to his ear, and said, "Meng Lingshan..."

The car is speeding down the road.

The street scene outside turned into neon glare in the dark night, and star-shaped flakes across the car windows.

The car drove fast, and Huo Ranyin's heart was moving faster than the car. It seemed that it had already put on wings, flew across the dark sky, and flew to the city where Meng Lingshan was located, and followed the local police who were organizing the operation. action.

This kind of anxiety that he couldn't express, made him unable to help but look at the watch on his wrist frequently.

The most anxious moment is always the night before dawn.

However, the still existing voices of Ji Xun and Meng Lingshan in the monitor earphones eased his anxious mood a little.

Meng Lingshan still did not hang up the phone.

It's just that as time went by, Meng Lingshan gradually stopped talking, and Ji Xun was the one talking all the time.Meng Lingshan was swaying, he was estimating whether seeing Ji Xun was in danger.

Huo Ranyin glanced at his watch again.

It has been 10 minutes since he left the hotel.

The local police have already dispatched, and they should be able to arrive at the location immediately. The signal they located also moved during this time.

Suddenly, a voice rang on the phone, reporting the situation at the scene.

"The local police have arrived at the signal point."

"It's not a residential area."

"Police have surrounded the scene."

Huo Ran could faintly hear the police shouting to tell Meng Lingshan to come out.

Meng Lingshan didn't seem to come out.

In the monitor earphones, Ji Xun's voice stopped abruptly.

From Meng Lingshan's mobile phone, Ji Xun also heard the shouts of the police at the scene!

He desperately pursued Meng Lingshan's heart, and at this moment he paused in the air, thinking of Ji Xun.

After Meng Lingshan was found, Ji Xun...

"The police at the scene entered," the communication added.

"Where's the person?" Huo Ranyin subconsciously replied.

"people……"

In the dark sky, a round moon is thin and curved, like a scimitar hanging high.The light of the scimitar sliced ​​across the sky, the distant sea, and the pillars of the temple's vermilion peeling off.

The frosty light illuminates Mazu's face.

The empress's fine clothes are outdated, and the empress' makeup has fallen off, but the empress's compassionate smile is still hanging on the corner of her mouth.

Under the empress's pearl shoes, on the consecration platform, there were dusty offering trays. In one of the offering trays, there was a mobile phone. Next to the mobile phone was another recorder that played Meng Lingshan's voice back and forth.

Meng Lingshan made a false shot and ran away early!

Ji Xun hung up the phone.

He started to clean up, but there was nothing to clean up.Take a mobile phone, an ID card, and you can go out.

He opened the freezer, took out a bottle of vodka from it, unscrewed the cap, and poured it into a glass mixed with ice cubes, one for himself and one for Huo Ranyin.Afterwards, he picked up his wine glass and lightly collided with Huo Ranyin's.

"Snapped."

The golden waves rushed to the snow peak.

He raised his head and drank it in one gulp.Put another coat on yourself and go out the door.

The situation at the scene was transmitted back to Huo Ranyin's ears.

Immediately, Huo Ranyin asked: "How did Meng Lingshan find out the clue? Can the police at the scene find out the escape route of Meng Lingshan?"

"The police are still investigating." Zhong Xiaojin said, "We are checking the nearby surveillance. But Meng Lingshan chose a good place, and the surveillance in that place is insufficient. Meng Lingshan has a lot of anti-reconnaissance experience, and he is likely to be taken away this time." take off."

In this case, it is useless for Huo Ranyin to go to the local area, he ordered the driver: "Go back to the hotel immediately."

Ji Xun was also at the hotel and heard the voices on the scene, whether the other party would have guessed what he did - no, he should have already guessed.

The car was running like lightning, and when Huo Ranyin returned to the hotel, it was exactly half an hour before he left the hotel.

He came to Ji Xun's door and raised his hand to knock on the door.

But it was quiet inside the door.

"Ji Xun?" He called again, but there was still no answer.

Ji Xun is angry?

Huo Ranyin lowered his gaze for two seconds, and called Ji Xun with his mobile phone.But the call didn't go through, and Ji Xun turned off the phone.

This accident made Huo Ranyin's heart sink heavily, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked open the hotel door.

The door opened, and everything inside was the same as before he went out.

The blackboard with clues in the corner, the computer on the desktop, the clothes on the back of the chair, and the quilt that was lifted.

Only one person is missing.

Ji Xun is missing!

One more thing.

There are many kinds of vodka that are placed next to the computer, braving the slightest air-conditioning.

Huo Ranyin's heart was covered with a heavy object, which was as heavy as a scale, and his body also broke a hole leading to the abyss, allowing his heart to fall endlessly.

He stepped in front of vodka.

This glass of wine that suddenly appeared next to the computer...

Huo Ranyin's fingers landed on the computer keyboard.

His fingertips trembled slightly.

The wine hadn't entered his mouth yet, and his thoughts were already boiling in his brain, as if he had drunk too much alcohol, making every cell on the verge of exploding death.

He repeatedly recalled all the details of his contact with Ji Xun that day——

Ji Xun asked him about the charging cable of his mobile phone.

Ji Xun raised his hand to touch his ear.

Ji Xun knew that he came for Meng Lingshan!When did Ji Xun know, the first moment he saw him?

His fingers dropped to the keyboard.

The screen lights up.

The computer was turned on, and a very familiar picture appeared on the screen - the garbage dump in the village behind Juanshan.

Huo Ranyin's fist landed heavily on the table, and with a wave, the wine glass next to the computer flew up. The wine liquid and ice cubes drew a golden curve in the air, and then smashed to the ground in an uproar.

Huo Ran laughed back in anger, he finally knew when Ji Xun knew his purpose!

Long before he came, long before he went to the dump!

When he saw him, he started to install surveillance. Ji Xun hadn't seen anyone yet. He had just received Meng Lingshan's letter, so he set up surveillance at the garbage station in advance, waiting to catch him, a silly fish!

Ji Xun did it on purpose.

The moment he received Meng Lingshan's call, he was preparing to help Meng Lingshan escape!He clearly planned everything, but he put himself in an invincible position, even though the police monitoring his phone listened to him, he couldn't catch his faults.

Everything counts.

Meng Lingshan ran away.

Where is Ji Xun now?

Huo Ranyin paused for a few seconds, then suddenly rushed out of the hotel.

The figure that hurried up the stairs hurried downstairs again.

In the tea room of the hotel, Ji Xun saw Huo Ranyin walking away quickly through the mirror.

He unhurriedly drank the tea in front of him, waited for a while, and waited until the GPS signal on the new mobile phone representing Huo Ranyin began to move towards the local high-speed rail station, then stood up, came to the hotel entrance, and called a taxi.

"Go to the airport."

Half an hour before and after, Huo Ran judged that he was too late to go to the airport to wait for check-in, so he went to the high-speed train that could arrive at any time and leave at any time, preparing to catch up with him.

He did not do anything violating citizen laws and regulations on the surface, which means that the police cannot directly arrest him.

It is very difficult to escape the police; it is not difficult to deceive Huo Ranyin.

He didn't need to judge Huo Ranyin's judgment.

Just monitor Huo Ranyin's actions according to the positioning system of Huo Ranyin's mobile phone that he opened in advance.

Monitoring is always two-way.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attention please: Wear now ready for check-"

The boarding announcement sounded.

Ji Xun walked through the check-in gate, among the boarding crowd, and walked slowly to the plane.

There were not many passengers on this flight. Although he bought the ticket later, he still chose the seat by the porthole.

It's just that during the day, this position can see more of the land under the clouds and the blue sky above the clouds. At night, the scenery that should be there is completely swallowed up by the dark night like a tide.

He sat idly for a while, and heard the announcement of the plane telling everyone to fasten their seat belts and was about to take off. He felt the plane began to taxi slowly, and suddenly heard commotion in the cabin.

The people in the cabin seemed to be looking out of the porthole.

If he felt something, he lowered his head and looked at the GPS location on his phone. The signal point representing Huo Ranyin had indeed arrived at his left and right position.

He turned his head and looked out of the porthole. Inside the brightly lit huge floor-to-ceiling glass of the airport, a figure fell on the glass. In the distance, the face of the person was blurred. Ji Xun's naked eyes only saw the black jacket and the bright red chest of the black jacket. a little bit.

The rose he pinned during the day.

The figure raised his hand, and his fist fell heavily on the glass.

He saw people in airport uniforms approaching around him, and Huo Ranyin's actions attracted the attention of security.

He turned on the phone, adjusted it to the camera mode, pointed the lens at Huo Ranyin, and zoomed in.

Huo Ranyin's face was finally visible in his mobile phone.

He saw the other party open his mouth and call his name.

He also looked over and saw a figure rushing through the closed check-in gate.

Ji Xun—Ji Xun——

Huo Ranyin.Ji Xun said silently in his heart, and whispered between his lips, "Huo Ranyin."

He saw the opponent's hand, slid over the waist and raised again, without the gun.

Naturally, you cannot carry a gun without approval when you go out on business.

Otherwise, the angry muzzle pointed at him has already spouted flames at this moment.

boom--

That invisible gunshot rang heavily in his mind.

He smiled slightly, pressed his palms against the porthole, and touched Huo Ranyin's face from afar.

The plane was taxiing faster and faster, and he looked at Huo Ranyin's sight, from looking straight to slanting to only seeing the bright red rose petals in the night through the cracks of his fingers.

In Huo Ranyin's anger, it slipped from the pocket and was crushed by a pedestrian.

The splashed foam is like splashed blood spots.

The blood spot also disappeared, leaving only my hand covering the porthole empty.

The plane soared into the sky, leaving everything behind.
