sincerity of lies

Ji Xun observed Cheng Zheng.

The effect of opening the door with thunder was not very good. Cheng Zheng, who was sitting across from him, was indeed stunned for a moment, but it was just stunned, not panic. Then he smiled apologetically: "I don't know what you are talking about, this accusation is too ridiculous Yes. Why did I kill Tang Jinglong?"

"Because Tang Jinglong killed Xi Lei."

"Is this the police's conclusion?" Cheng Zheng said, "The murderer who killed Leilei has been found?"

"No." Ji Xun said honestly, "I guessed it. I just think that in the two related cases, you and Tang Jinglong were overly concerned about their alibi."

Cheng Zheng remained silent and did not stop Ji Xun, he was not the kind of person who would stop others.

"Tang Jinglong didn't hide the DNA he left at Xi Lei's house, and you didn't hide the restaurant that was too close. You are both suspects with strong motives, and you all produced clear and credible proofs of time at the first time. One hit kills, one click cleans up." Ji Xun asked humbly, "Do you think it's a coincidence?"

"I have an alibi because I didn't kill anyone." Cheng Zheng was not angry, but rather helpless: "Let's look at the evidence, the police can't always rely on guesswork when handling a case?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a policeman." Ji Xun, "I'm just a meddling little author who likes to be unconstrained. Novels are always weirder and more eye-catching. Speaking of these, I'm just looking for some creative inspiration. You might as well Just chat with me about your views on the case? Don’t worry, I don’t know how to record, a little knowledge, secretly recording has no legal effect.”

"I know. I'm a teacher anyway, and know a little bit of law." Cheng Zheng smiled, "Just talking casually, um... I really want to kill the murderer."

"Oh." Ji Xun remained silent.

"I came from outside and have been here for nearly 30 years. At that time, Leilei was just born, and I delivered her, and I also took the name. She was my first student. She was smart, studious, and lived up to expectations. She passed the exam. She has more courage than me, more courage than most people here... But there is no way, this is life."

Cheng Zheng's eyebrows drooped.From Ji Xun's point of view, Cheng Zheng is not very old, he may be in his early fifties, and he is in the prime of life, but his body exudes a strong twilight all the time. It is late at dusk and the sun is about to set. He welcomes the darkness with an attitude of resignation .

"She is dead. She was killed because of a secret that she didn't have time to say." Ji Xun said. "You are her teacher, don't you want to hear what she has to say?"

There was a long silence.

Ji Xun could feel that Chu Cheng was touched, and his heart was swaying vaguely.

"I want to know something." Ji Xun slowed down, he didn't care about the truth of Tang Jinglong's case, what he wanted was the whole of Xi Lei's case, he said his ultimate goal, "Xi Lei has nineteen female dolls in her hands .She cherishes them. I think the secret she has spied may have something to do with the dolls, with her birth. There are very few girls in this village, they..."

Cheng Zheng opened his mouth, he said softly and calmly:

"They're all married off."

The communication with Cheng Zheng did not achieve the desired effect of Ji Xun, but the lawyer sent him good news in time: "Xi Zhengping has definitely agreed to move the grave!"

He fed back the news to the police station, and it was discussed yesterday. After the place is confirmed, the police station will send out a car, and two policemen on duty will escort Zeng Peng over to fulfill Zeng Peng's last wish.

The village is remote, and the journey takes a long time, so Ji Xun wanders around the village with nothing to do.He didn't go to any special places, he just walked on the road in the field and looked at the entrance of the mountain where the Podocarpus pine was planted behind the village.

The mountain village is very quiet. In winter, the trees at the foot of the mountain are withered, and some species on the mountain are still green. From a distance, it looks like a green cloud, shrouded in hazy clouds.But the cloud is black, like a gloomy eye, condescending.

The eyes not only came from the mountain, but also came from around Ji Xun.

Ever since he left Cheng Zheng's house, the feeling of being secretly watched all the time shrouded Ji Xun. Ji Xun remained calm and paid attention to his surroundings.

No one followed him for a long time, but wherever he went, people who used to work here looked at him.There was no curiosity in those eyes, they were just cloudy, as cloudy as clouds and mist, gloomy and frosty.

——And, all of them are women.

Those who looked at him were all women, no men, the men were still gathered outside Xi Zhengping's courtyard to watch the fun, only women, scattered in their homes and fields, doing work like An Xin lotus.

The atmosphere of the mountain village seems to have changed unconsciously. The dead branches have become stiffer, the permafrost has become harder, the wind has begun to bite, and there are hidden knives for scraping people. With a sound, a tattered van with a white gold plate appeared.

It stopped at the entrance of the village, the door opened, and two young plainclothes police officers who looked exactly the same brought Zeng Peng down. When seeing Ji Xun, it's like seeing hope, and a little light will burst out of his eyes.

"Hi, I'm Ji Xun." Ji Xun stepped forward. A normal person would take a second look at twins, and he was no exception. At home, he has drawn up a house transfer agreement, and after Zeng Peng signs it, he can start work and move the grave."

"Understood." The two replied, and then they smiled heartily, "Brother Ji, my name is Gao Fang, his name is Gao Yuan, we know you, your outstanding deeds are still posted on the wall of glory, and we will pass by the cafeteria every day to eat .”

"You guys reminded me." Ji Xun said, "I will tear those up when I go back to the police force next time."

The two were stunned.

However, Ji Xun had already turned around and walked towards the village. Needless to say, the other three followed.When they arrived at Xi Zhengping's home, the men watching the excitement had already left. Xi Zhengping and his lawyer were drinking tea in the yard, but they didn't see An Xinhe, only heard some noise from the house, probably working inside.

"Everyone is here." The lawyer greeted, "It's all discussed, as long as both parties sign it."

At this time, the half-hidden door opened, and a woman came out from it. She held a tray in her hand, on which were piled oranges like a pagoda. She brought the oranges in front of Ji Xun and the others, and greeted: "There is nothing to entertain in the countryside, let's eat some fruit."

Ji Xun took one casually.

But Gao Gao and Xiao Gao waved their hands unanimously and refused. How could the police take things from the people's homes, and Zeng Peng didn't even bother to eat fruit.

"Eat, eat, eat at least one." With a stiff smile on her face, the woman kept handing the fruit to Zeng Peng and Da Gao and Xiao Gao's arms with great strength. Can I have something to eat?"

"No, I'm not being polite, it's really not necessary."

During the push and push, the tray tilted, and the orange bones on it were scattered all over the ground.

The woman groaned, and Big Gao and Xiao Gao hurriedly bent down to help pick them up.

As soon as he bent down, the outline of the weapon that was originally covered by the baggy clothes was immediately revealed.

The woman watched, the rigidity of her face creeping into her eyes, staring here and there, at the outline of the gun.

"Thank you, Auntie, you are too kind, we really don't use fruit..."

When Da Gao and Xiao Gao picked up their things and stood up, they continued to be polite as before, but the woman suddenly stopped talking, and coldly held the plate, allowing them to put the things on it, then turned and left.

This small episode was limited to a corner of the courtyard. The lawyer sitting in the middle of the courtyard finally sorted out the documents in the briefcase. He greeted Zeng Peng, and Zeng Peng was very straightforward and signed his name; it was Xi Zhengping's turn Now, Xi Zhengping picked up the pen and also wanted to sign his own name, but——

"Don't sign!" A loud and high-pitched voice came from the room, Ji Xun saw An Xinhe coming out, she was tall, and when she came out of the room suddenly, she looked like a man in charge of the house.

"Don't mess around." Xi Zhengping didn't care at all, without raising his head, he continued to study the position of the signature.

An Xin, who came to the table, snatched the document from Xi Zhengping's hand and tore it in half.

Xi Zhengping was taken aback, stood up and yelled at An Xinhe, "Why are you crazy, are you crazy?" He apologized to the lawyer again and again, "I'm sorry, my wife has some mental problems and her mood is unstable, look This was torn up...are there any other copies?"

The lawyer was also surprised, but he was very good at talking: "It's okay, I still have it here. I thought that there might be no office materials here, so I brought a portable printer here, so it's convenient to type anything. Is there any concern for Auntie not to sign? Dissatisfied? No matter what it is, we can communicate and solve it.”

"Yes." Zeng Peng was extremely nervous and nodded quickly.

"I told you not to sign! You are not allowed to move the grave, no one is allowed to move my daughter's grave, and the land on the mountain is not allowed to move at all!" An Xinhe was completely numb on the contrary, her expression became terrified, her face She was also completely livid, and her eyes were darker than every woman Ji Xun had seen before. She was clearly facing the lawyer, Zeng Peng, and her husband, but Ji Xun felt that she was looking at him.

The cold light that seeped from her eyes flowed through his body from top to bottom.

"What do women know? Go ahead, you don't have a place to talk here," Xi Zhengping pushed An Xinhe impatiently, "Why didn't you say you objected to moving the grave just now? Now that everyone has talked about it, you're going to post it later? Come on, go into the house Let's cook!"

The short Xi Zhengping didn't push An Xinhe. Next to her was a wooden shelf with a basin of water on it. She grabbed the basin and splashed it on the lawyer's feet.

The lawyer was horrified, but fortunately he was exercising in the gym on weekdays, and his hands and feet were fairly nimble, so he jumped back hastily, and managed to avoid half of the basin.

Xi Zhengping slapped An Xinhe across the face: "You're crazy!"

Big Gao and Xiao Gao were all stunned by this dizzying change, and they hurriedly shouted: "If you have something to say, don't do it!"

The yard was in total chaos, and several women ran out of the room. The women pulled An Xinhe and stopped Xi Zhengping, yelling "Don't hit people" and "Speak up if you have something to say".The man who had left appeared again. The village is so small. A cry from the east can be heard from the west. Everyone went out to look around. Some came over, and some persuaded from a distance:

"We're already getting old, it's fine for the couple to quarrel, why did they move?"

"Don't let outsiders see the joke."

"Old Ping, take your wife back to the room, don't embarrass her."

Gossip came from all directions, and in front of her, An Xinhe's sharp voice was like fingernails scratching a glass panel: "I'm not crazy, you are the one who is crazy, have you forgotten that piece of land? How dare you touch your daughter's land, how dare you touch it!" Your daughter's grave!"

During the confusion, Ji asked the lawyer: "Didn't it be said that it has been dealt with?"

The lawyer was also full of question marks: "It's indeed done. You saw it just now. Xi Zhengping is sure to sign. I don't understand why his wife rushed out. When I was talking to Xi Zhengping, Xi Zhengping's wife was beside me. Working, I didn't show any objection from the beginning to the end... It's too messy now, you go to the side and wait, I will do their work, and I will call you later."

The three of them stood on the side of the road together with Zeng Peng, and the lawyer went to the front by himself. The chaos in the yard did not last long. Soon, An Xinhe was taken away by other women, and Xi Zhengping stayed in the yard to talk to the lawyer. , but only stayed for a while, and not long after, an elderly villager came over and called Xi Zhengping away.

"Something is wrong." Ji asked.

Gao Gao and Gao Xiao Gao next to him were a little embarrassed, and quickly answered: "It's not right, Brother Ji, is this lawyer reliable?"

"Why do the women in the village object to moving the graves so suddenly?" Ji Xun said to himself, "Don't move the graves on the mountain, don't move the land on the mountain..."

If things were as he supposed, women were victims, why ostracize him?

If things were not as good as he had imagined, what exactly inspired women to resist... The change of things began when he came out of Cheng Zheng's house...

Da Gao and Xiao Gao tried their best to talk: "The aunts in the village don't seem to welcome us. Maybe they really don't want to move the grave? We still have to respect the opinions of the masses, not to mention that this is still the masses' housework."

"This is not a housework, it is Lei Lei's wish." Zeng Peng answered anxiously, "She is my girlfriend, and I know what she thinks!"

"The dead no longer have the right to express their opinions." As for Zeng Peng, big and small only looked coldly.

At this time, the door of the house in Xi Zhengping's courtyard opened.

All the people who went in came out, there were men and women, the lawyer greeted with a smile, but soon found that something was wrong, and Ji Xun also noticed that the men who came out also looked stiff, their faces were livid, and a group of them rushed up , could not help but crowd the lawyers out of the yard, and pushed them in front of Ji Xun and the others:

"Let's go, let's go, we won't move the grave."

"You can't do this! We have negotiated the terms—" Zeng Peng became anxious.

Before the two policemen could say something, the livid face on the man's face turned fierce, and he directly pushed and shoved: "We decide where the girls in our village are buried. You go out immediately, you are not welcome in the village!"

Just five people are not enough to fight against the whole village.

Ji Xun was directly driven to the car outside the village. The lawyer was embarrassed and tried to explain, but before he could say anything, Ji Xun raised his hand and threw his car keys to the lawyer: "It's hard work for you today, you should drive back first." .I will discuss with other people how to deal with this matter.”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed Da Gao Xiao Gao and Zeng Peng into the van behind him.

The four sides were closed and the light dimmed. The four of them sat facing each other in a small space, with their toes facing each other and their knees staggered. Ji Xun said directly, "This is very strange."

Da Gao Xiao Gao: "What's so strange?"

Ji Xun: "First, the women in the village objected for no reason, and then the men in the village also began to object collectively. The change in attitude is very bizarre."

Da Gao and Xiao Gao looked at each other: "Women object because mothers don't want to separate from their daughters; men follow and object because women have successfully persuaded them that their wives are the leaders of the family? Can you not listen to what the leaders say?"

Ji Xun smiled: "When you get along with the leader, you just slap the leader without saying a word?"

Da Gao and Xiao Gao insisted: "Beating someone is definitely wrong, but at that time the scene was chaotic, everyone was in agitation, and there was a possibility of losing control. It cannot be said that a wife cannot persuade her husband because of this, especially this kind of housework."

Ji Xun was too lazy to argue with them.

Are the wives convincing the husbands?Yes, anyone with eyes can see that it is the woman who persuaded the man—but it is definitely not because the wife is in charge of the housework. Women in this village have no status at all.

There is only one thing they can use to persuade men: moving the grave has violated the interests of men.

He leaned against the window and meditated for a while, then suddenly said: "On the mountain."

"what?"

"There is a situation on the mountain, we have to go up."

Da Gao and Xiao Gao stopped looking at each other, and they hurriedly stopped them: "Wait, Brother Ji, we know you really want to facilitate this grave relocation, but on this matter, we must respect the opinions of the masses, and we cannot buy or sell by force."

"Who bought and sold by force?" Ji Xun didn't lift his eyelids, "They don't move if they don't want to move. It's their right. But now I suspect that there are some secrets hidden in the mountain. I want to go up the mountain to find treasure, and if I fail, I will find something unexpected. What about things? Maybe we don’t want anything at that time, and we will give it away with the grave in both hands, crying and shouting to send us away.”

"Walking around, isn't it still about the grave..." Da Gao and Xiao Gao were speechless, and simply pointed at Zeng Peng and said, "It's just him, is it worth it?"

Zeng Peng lowered his head.

"You also go up the mountain with me." Ji Xun continued.

"It's impossible. Our mission is to detain Zeng Peng, bring him here safely, and send him back safely." Da Gao and Xiao Gao were startled, "What if he runs away suddenly on the mountain?"

"I will never run away!" Zeng Peng quickly promised, "You can handcuff me."

"Do you have the right to speak?" The two policemen snapped at him.

"Aren't you going up with me?" Ji asked.

"It doesn't make sense." Da Gao and Xiao Gao continued to persuade Ji Xun earnestly, "Brother Ji, it's winter, the mountains are bare, and there is really nothing, so just accept that the people in this village are high-spirited and honest, and they don't want to move if they have money. About the grave..."

"Then I will go up by myself, you wait for me here." Ji Xun said.

"...We won't wait for you, we're leaving." Da Gao and Xiao Gao were firm.

"How about we discuss it again?" Ji Xun remained polite.

"No, there is no discussion, that's it." Da Gao and Xiao Gao were as firm as a rock.

That being the case, Ji Xun put the courtesy first and then the soldiers. Seeing him, he spread his hands and said:

"Then what should I do if I get lost on the mountain? What should I do if I am in danger? I call 110 for help, and the 110 will also call the police. This mountain village is remote. You are the nearest police, right? At that time, the command station will deploy police force , who do you think will be transferred to find me?"

"..."

"He drove out and back, drove back and out again, the mountain road was bumpy, the driver was tired, and he brought a dangerous drug dealer who might escape at any time..."

"I really don't know how to run." Zeng Peng said weakly and tiredly, "I'm not dangerous either."

"As for it?" The two policemen showed suffocation, "It's just a mountain, it becomes a spirit, can it trap you?"

"Even if I can't be trapped, I can't go back." Ji Xun said leisurely, "My car was given to a lawyer, and I can't get a taxi here. In the end, I have to ask the police to pick me up. You say I'm going this way. How embarrassing to call the police at 110? Or, why don’t you just wait?”

Da Gao and Xiao Gao really had nothing to say, Ji Xun unilaterally declared victory, he pulled out his mobile phone, and shook the two policemen: "Okay, I'll go up the mountain, and I'll call when the time comes—you should pay attention to the movements in the village, if anyone Sudden loss of more than half, remember to call me."

The two policemen looked stiff, but Zeng Peng nodded seriously: "Don't worry, I must have good eyes."

"Be vigilant, be ready at any time, and remember to protect me at critical moments."

Ji Xun left his final summary and pushed open the door of the van. Coincidentally, there was a strong wind, and sand and stones flew.

Ji Xun looked up to the sky, and at some point, the sky was overcast, and the wind was blowing in the field, causing all the dead branches and leaves to sway in the wind, making a strange sound of "shua-shua--", like Laughing at the throat.

This omen is not very good.

Ji Xun really felt that it was a little dangerous. He put his hand into his pocket, wanting to foreshadow Huo Ranyin's message, but just as he touched the phone with his finger, he suddenly remembered that he didn't have Huo Ranyin's phone and Wechat - originally he did, but they Double-delete and double-delete.

To contact Huo Ranyin, one had to go through Tan Mingjiu or Yuan Yue.

... Forget it, it's too troublesome.

He took his hand out of his pocket and continued to move forward, walking, but couldn't help thinking.

This loss seems to have been suffered once during the alley chase last time. Does it have to be suffered a second time today?Planted in the same pit twice, can't it?
