sincerity of lies

The sky was miserable, the wind was rustling, everyone watched Ji Xun's back disappear on the mountain road.

Da Gao suddenly said, "How long does it take for an idol to be shattered?"

Xiao Gao looked down at his phone: "10 minutes."

The two twins looked at each other with a heartfelt sympathy.But after all, he agreed, so he had no choice but to play with his mobile phone and wait for Ji Xun to come down.

In the car, Zeng Peng kept silent, leaning on the car window and looking out. He didn't look out loudly, but pulled up the car curtains, leaving only a slit, and his eyes were wide open. Hiding behind the seam, looking out secretly.

Da Gao glanced at him occasionally, and laughed contemptuously: "Still stalking here seriously? Keep an eye on yourself, everyone outside is more law-abiding than you."

Zeng Peng still didn't answer.

Time ticked forward, and about an hour after Ji Xun went up the mountain, Zeng Peng suddenly said: "There are a lot fewer people in the village."

The two policemen who were playing mobile games were a little impatient: "What's missing? Aren't they all outside?"

Zeng Peng insisted: "There are only women outside. I could still hear men's loud voices, but now they are gone. In the past 5 minutes, there were always one or two men passing by, and now there are no more."

Da Gao and Xiao Gao raised their heads and looked out of the car.After a while, Xiao Gao said, "I'll go and see, you are here."

Da Gao nodded: "Don't go far."

Xiao Gao did not go far, he was cautious, got out of the van and walked around the village for a total of 5 minutes. When he got on the car again, facing Da Gao's gaze, he nodded and affirmed Zeng Peng's words: "It's true. Quite a few men are missing."

As soon as the news came out, the two policemen looked at each other again, and then looked at the village outside the car.

The time is getting late, the sun is setting, the dark night sky is sinking down, the road in the future is blurred, the bustling city has become a phantom in the distance, all of a sudden it is dim and blurred, and there are only a few lights in front of you, surrounded by mountains and shining stars A lonely village.

The village is very quiet, there is no dog barking, it is so quiet that it makes people feel hairy.

"What's Brother Ji's phone number?" Someone suddenly asked in the carriage.

Big tall and small tall, they looked at Zeng Peng together.Zeng Peng was dumbfounded.

"Look at what I am doing, how can I have a call from the police?"

Today's second branch of criminal investigation is also busy as usual, but amidst the busyness, everyone feels a little relaxed.In any case, the suspects in the Xi Lei case and the Tang Jinglong case have been confirmed. Although they have not been officially arrested, in a modern society where surveillance cameras and communication control are so developed, everything is a matter of time.

Tan Mingjiu was busy using his landline to communicate with units at all levels about wanted matters. His loud voice did not stop all afternoon. Everyone who passed by was numb to the word "Lu Ping", until suddenly, "Ji Xun" popped out .

"Ji Xun? What's wrong with Ji Xun? He's on your side? Then let him answer the phone quickly. I'll humiliate him this time. Hehehe, we have made a breakthrough, a big breakthrough, and the dawn of hope is just around the corner. This time there is no room for his common sense to be used—" Tan Mingjiu was so excited that he was fuzzy.

Wen Yangyang, who was passing by, pricked up his ears.

Wen Yangyang is 25 years old this year, not tall, just over 1.6 meters tall, fair and clean, with a round face, and a super-good figure, and with a high ponytail, it is not unreasonable to go back to high school as a student—it is exactly Because of this special appearance, since she was a child, she has sent three-digit perverts into the classroom to calm down, and at least two-thirds of them have changed their past after they calmed down, and have since then kept a respectful distance from young female students.As a result, in the police station, she secretly passed on a nickname: "Pervert Terminator".

When Ji Xun left her job, she hadn’t joined the police force yet, and she was quite far away, but Tan Mingjiu couldn’t hold back Tan Mingjiu’s 10 posts the day before and 20 posts the day after.

It was in this situation that she met Ji Xun, and even watched the short video of Ji Xun and the captain.

"What, you want Ji Xun's phone number? Ji Xun is not with you now?" Tan Mingjiu's enthusiasm plummeted, "It's useless if you ask for the phone number. That guy is so hypocritical. He knows you are a policeman and won't answer your phone call."

There is another description on the other end.

Tan Mingjiu continued: "Ji Xun is alone on the mountain, and you can't get in touch. The village may be a bit weird... Do you want to call for reinforcements? No? Are you carrying guns? That's right. You have to write the report until you vomit. In this way, you should be vigilant and keep in touch with the bureau. I will give you Ji Xun’s phone number. If the situation is urgent, you can ask him for reinforcements when necessary. I believe he will not meet I can't save you from death—I hope this hypocrite can answer your calls."

Tan Mingjiu hung up the phone, and Wen Yangyang went over: "I hear the situation over there is a bit dangerous."

Tan Mingjiu: "Both policemen are armed with guns, Ji Xun is still there, and there is a car. The judgment of the policemen at the scene is that the atmosphere is delicate, but the possibility of accidents is not high. Trust them. Besides, the situation is not clear. , it’s not easy to call for reinforcements.”

Wen Yangyang: "Of course it's troublesome to go through the process, but after get off work, I go to see and help in private, no one cares."

Tan Mingjiu was taken aback for a moment: "...When did you and Ji Xun have such a good relationship? Have you fallen in love with him? Stop it, there is no result."

Wen Yangyang's voice was an octave lower: "It's not me, what I'm talking about is, do you want to tell Team Huo about the news?"

"Crazy at a young age, what's wrong with knocking on your immediate boss." Tan Mingjiu gasped, pointing to himself, "A lesson from the past, a guide for the future, want to work overtime for five days and five nights like me? "

"It's still five days and five nights, so I have done four hours of work." Wen Yangyang couldn't hold back, and rolled his eyes, "Besides, wasn't it you who knocked at the beginning?"

"What about four hours? Isn't four hours a big deal?" Tan Mingjiu was heartbroken: "Besides, is that what I call knocking? I call it stating the facts! Besides, Team Huo left early today, so you have to call him directly Tell him about Ji Xun?"

It's okay to casually mention something in person, but it feels weird to say it on the phone.

Wen Yangyang was also half-hearted, but she couldn't help but look at Tan Mingjiu's probing look, and said, "Since Captain Huo left early, what are you looking at?"

"Don't you know what I'm looking at? Team Huo is a surreptitious one. When he came to the office with Team Yuan today, I was almost caught and fished by him. I'm not worried that he will suddenly return to the carbine and catch me again." Did you and I talk about weird things?" Tan Mingjiu murmured, and recalled the scene of Huo Ranyin coming over two hours ago...

He suddenly said: "Speaking of which, I listened to him at that time. He even mentioned Ji Xun when he was chatting with Captain Yuan."

Go back to two hours ago.

Tan Mingjiu took out his phone to watch a funny video, when Huo Ranyin's voice suddenly came from behind him: "What are you doing?"

Tan Mingjiu was startled, and almost knocked over his phone by mistake. A second later, he pretended to be serious and said, "No, nothing. I'm communicating with other units to release information about tracking the fugitive Lu Ping."

Huo Ran gave Tan Mingjiu a sideways glance, and didn't want to say much, went into the office and took the documents and came out, and said to Yuan Yue who was waiting outside, "Okay, Team Yuan, let's go."

They walked side by side to the director's office. There was a critical breakthrough in the case and they had to report to the director. In the corridor, Yuan Yue asked Huo Ranyin: "Have you informed Ji Xun of the progress of the case?"

"Not yet." They both deleted it even though they wanted to tell.

"Then I'll talk to him later."

"Report the good news to him?" Huo Ranyin said.

"Yes." Yuan Yue smiled, "On the other hand, discuss with him again, and let him see from the perspective of a bystander, if there are any gaps."

"Indeed, although the DNA comparison of Tang Jinglong from Lu Ping's family was successful." Huo Ranyin was thoughtful, "The person was not caught, the confession was not obtained, and the chain of evidence did not match. People can't be completely assured."

Speaking of this, a question suddenly flashed in Huo Ranyin's mind:

Although Ji Xun didn't want to exchange information about the case with Yuan Yue, if he only wanted to receive information about the case, did Ji Xun want to get news from him, or from Yuan Yue?

...or Yuan Yue's.

The two had already arrived in front of the director's office. Huo Ranyin took a cup of tea, and while drinking it thoughtfully, he looked at Yuan Yue several times, making Yuan Yue a little confused.

After all, crush.

In fact, with Ji Xun's provocative ability, if he works hard, he might be able to break up the straight man and make his crush come true.

In winter, the sky gets dark early, and the surroundings have already darkened, but it is not completely dark. The whole mountain is immersed in a kind of damp and cold ghost. Dark Guard.

Failed.

Ji Xun used the flashlight that came with his mobile phone to illuminate the road ahead, thinking secretly.

If I had known that this would happen, I would have brought more equipment. Take a portable light first, then put a backpack on your back, put a pack of insect repellent in it to drive away snakes, insects, rats and ants; You can drink it; three packs of compressed biscuits, one pack per meal; and...forget it, it’s gone, I can camp on the mountain for a day or two with some more things.

He glanced at the battery on the phone screen, which showed 20%.

Dangerous.

He went up the mountain to look for Xi Lei's tomb first, Xi Lei's tomb was not difficult to find, he found it just over ten minutes after he went up the mountain, and there was an hour or so left, and he took Xi Lei's tomb as the center of a circle, going round and round Wandering out.

If things are as he imagined, if there are things on the mountain, then the things must be buried in the soil, the soil there must be different from other places, and there will be no plants on it...

He walked all the way, looked all the way, and looked all the way.

Not knowing that the search for the destination would consume several times more energy than normal, he walked for a while, and the battery of the phone dropped directly from 20% to 15%, which was a complete crisis.Just when he felt that he might not find anything today, his shoes stepped on a clearing.

The soil in this clearing is different from other places.Other places are more loose, this one is more compact; other places are more or less weeds and dead branches, but this place has no weeds at all.There is also something very strange.

Ji Xun squatted down.

He shone the flashlight of his mobile phone on the ground and pressed the soil with his fingers little by little. When he lifted it up again, there was a layer of oil stains floating on his fingers.

There are oil stains on the ground, or the oil stains accumulated over the years.

and also--

The thin flashlight illuminated more content.

And wax.Wax dripping from incense sticks.

His eyes followed the oil stains and wax, and stopped on the land a little earlier. Then he found a sharp stone and began to dig the soil. After only a dozen times, a thin layer of soil was dug away. Ask to see something.

A pointy, small one that stretches towards the sky like a bud...

Baby's phalanges.

The movement of his hands stopped, he paused for a long time, threw away the stone, and used his fingers to poke out the remaining soil, the soil layer was pushed away, and more content was exposed, it was a round, small, not big enough for an adult's palm skeletal skull.With the head down, most of the white face bones are still buried in the soil, only a little bit of empty eye sockets are exposed, as if quietly looking at the outside world from the soil layer.

Just as Ji Xun's fingers touched the head, a huge beam of light suddenly hit Ji Xun's back from behind.

He hurriedly turned his head and saw the people in the village.

A group of men, holding flashlights, illuminated the dark mountain brightly, and they all hid behind the light, looking at him with blue faces and ghosts.
