sincerity of lies

It's good weather.

The sun is neither hot nor cold, the temperature is neither high nor low, and the wind is neither too strong nor too small. It is a weather suitable for doing anything.

The man standing outside a large shopping mall under a huge movie promotion billboard thought.

He is tall and has long legs, and he is in his early years. His skin has been baptized by the sun for a long time, and his skin is tanned. , a man with a mediocre family and a small pocket.

There is nothing extraordinary about this man, his mind is as barren as his appearance, he thought in a mixed way:

Should I watch a movie first, or run errands first?

This movie looks very good. If I go to work first, I won't have time to watch it.

How about watching a movie?It can be played in two hours.

But the things in my hands are too heavy, otherwise I should go to work first.

He has made a decision, but he is still reluctant to part with the movie. His eyes are glued to the billboard's slogan "Comparable to Korean Murder Memories, More Scary, More Criminal, Confessions of a Murderer" for a while, and then reluctantly move away. .

He picked up the canvas bag at his feet and walked towards the high-end neighborhood not far from the billboard.

He saw the security guard standing in the guard room first, and he was secretly envious of the security guard's temperament and spirit.

I originally wanted to apply for the security guard here, but unfortunately I was not selected.

I can only be a plumber and come in to fix the water pipes.

He recorded his name and ID card in the notebook in the security room, and walked inside with the bag. The elevators in the community were strictly controlled, and he had to swipe his card to get on. After a lot of effort, he managed to get to the target floor from the fire escape.

33th floor.

He took a deep breath, took off his coat, and sat in the corridor, like a tired dog, with his mouth open and tongue sticking out to dissipate the heat for several minutes before he put on his clothes again, picked up his bag, and rang 3303 door.

"Who is it?" A voice came from the door.

"Property." The man looked calm, he had a meek and honest face, "Come overhaul the natural gas pipeline."

The door opened, and a bald owner in his early fifties stood behind the door. The deep nasolabial folds on both sides of the nose made his mouth protrude, and he looked mean: "Why didn't you notify in advance when you need to repair the pipeline? You have to take off your shoes when you enter the door, so don't make you dirty." Xi's shoes stepped in... What's the smell, where's your work permit?"

"Wait a minute, I'll show you the work permit." The man humiliated, unzipped the bag, and reached in.

When it was pulled out again, a sharp knife with a cold light was aimed at the chest and abdomen of the bald owner.

The meanness on the bald owner's face became blank, and the blankness condensed into large clusters of fear. His teeth were trembling uncontrollably, knocking, knocking, and the wind kept blowing against the blinds:

"you you……"

"Don't be afraid, Boss Zhao." The man still had that gentle face, "I'm not a robber. Let me introduce myself, my name is Xin Yongchu, from Yi'an County. You should still remember Yi'an County, which is your blessed land. When An County was engaged in engineering projects, you were still a small worker. After the Yi’an County project was completed, you suddenly had money to start a business, became the owner of a food factory, drove a luxury car, and lived in a luxury house..."

"This, this money is my savings for many years." At some point, Boss Zhao burst into tears, "It's not what you think, it's really not..."

"What am I thinking?" Xin Yongchu asked, his knife was approaching, Boss Zhao could only retreat step by step, the door was kicked by Xin Yongchu, and it was closed tightly, he forced Boss Zhao to the dining chair in the restaurant , tied up with nylon rope.

Then he put the knife aside, opened the bag he was carrying, and took out the camera and tripod from inside.

He installed these things indoors, and adjusted them for a while. After confirming that the camera was working normally, he turned to Boss Zhao again: "Now the camera can record everything. Boss Zhao, don't be nervous, as long as you answer my questions well , you will be fine. What I want to ask is... 22 years ago, in Yi'an County, did you use a hammer to smash the head of accountant Tang Zhixue Tang? Besides you, there was another person at the scene. who is it?"

……

Half an hour passed.

Xin Yongchu tried several methods, but he didn't pry Boss Zhao's mouth away.

Boss Zhao was already slumped on the chair, his trousers were wet, and there was a puddle of yellow liquid under his feet. His body was not clean, his forehead was broken, and his face was covered with blood and sweat. , slumped on the chair, half dead:

"It's not me, I didn't... Accountant Tang's case has long been closed, and outsiders are running around to commit crimes..."

Xin Yongchu was a little tired.

He walked up to the camera, adjusted the angle with his hands, and said to the camera: "Actually, I don't want to do this. I know that Accountant Tang wouldn't let me do this if he was still there. But in short... what should be done is Gotta do it, right?"

He took two steps back, and the camera showed his trembling hand holding the knife.

He bowed to the camera, 90 degrees, for 2 minutes.

Then he turned around, covered Boss Zhao's mouth, and stabbed the knife deeply into his heart.Xin Yongchu saw Boss Zhao's bulging eyes and flushed face at that moment, and the other party was struggling violently under his palm like a fish out of water, struggling like breaking a chair and breaking a rope.But this kind of struggle was nothing but a flashback. In less than a minute, the precious life flowed from his body. He stopped and did not move, and his eyes gradually lost their luster, turning stiff and dead white...

he died.

After finishing the work, Xin Yongchu started to pack his things and checked the time.

"Huh?" he muttered, "It seems that there is still time to watch a movie?"

After Ji Xun finished explaining the ins and outs of the case, Xia Youqing still didn't take a sip of the coffee in front of her.

When Ji Xun came, she was like this, sitting here alone for an unknown how long, stirring the black coffee without a trace of heat like bitter medicine.

During the process of narrating the case, Xia Youqing was also always quiet, her expression was blank for a while, her face was like a white porcelain mask, beautiful, delicate, empty and lifeless.Until he said that sentence.

——"Leilei is very happy. She feels that she has saved a pregnant woman and an unborn child."

These words poured into Xia Youqing's body like a fountain of life.

The woman who had remained silent all this time suddenly turned her face sideways and stared out of the window. Ji Xun followed and saw an advertising light box for a mother and baby store hanging in front of the elevator. On it was a cute and smiling little girl in a suit. Baby.

The sun shone on her face, lighting up her cheeks, her eyelashes flicked slightly, and a drop of tear rolled out, it moved the white porcelain mask on her face to slide down together, fell to the ground, and smashed into pieces.

"It's over." Xia Youqing finally commented.

Ji Xun thought the same way, this was the first case he participated in in three years, it was too lengthy and had too many details, even though he slept all day yesterday, it was as if he hadn't slept, Huo Ranyin was still pulling him in the dream She put her hand on her heart, and told him to guess again.

His mind, which had been sluggish for three years, became unusually active amid exhaustion. Tang Jinglong's social connections formed a spider web in his mind, and in the center of the web, Meng Lingshan was laughing at how he cared so much about any random drug addict on the side of the road.

It wasn't until Xia Youqing said these words that he finally felt the reality of getting rid of the case.

Anyway, it's over.

Maybe the result is not as expected, but this is the truth, the precious truth.

Afterwards, Ji Xun accompanied Xia Youqing upstairs, and went to the maternity and baby store to shop for baby products. This was the first time Xia Youqing set foot here, and the first time she seriously considered what she would need after giving birth.

People are fragile, but stronger.As long as he feels hope once in his life, hope will plant a seed in his heart and pass it forward like a torch.

Just like women passing Xi Lei, like Xi Lei passing Xia Youqing, just like Xia Youqing passing her own child.

The maternity and baby store in the shopping mall occupies quite a large area. After going in for a walk, it will be gone in half an hour.

Xia Youqing has returned home with a full load, and as for Ji Xun, he is standing at the door of the shop, entangled in looking at the red and blue packaging and different flavors of baby biscuits.

This maternity and baby store happened to be sandwiched between two mobile phone stores. He lost his mobile phone and had to buy a new one. It was good to have a mobile phone store in front of him. The bad thing was that there was one more store, which forced him to buy a new one. Choose from different stores with the same function.

This is a huge problem for selection difficulties.

He decided to think through the red and blue baby biscuits. If he wants to go to the left to buy a mobile phone, he will buy red carrot flavored biscuits; if he wants to go to the right to buy a mobile phone, he will buy blue and blueberry flavored biscuits.

His fingers flicked back and forth between the two packets of biscuits until—

"Ji Xun?"

Yuan Yue's voice came from behind, and he turned around to see that Yuan Yue had just stepped out of the sightseeing elevator in the shopping mall.

"..."

Without hesitation, he turned around and left. After walking two steps, he saw Huo Ranyin again from the escalator.

The two attacked back and forth.

Ji Xun is in a dilemma.

"Why are you here?" Ji Xun preempted others.

"The case was solved, the bureau issued movie ticket benefits, and the movie theater is here, but why did you come?" Yuan Yue wondered.

"Well... I lost my mobile phone, so I came out to buy a mobile phone. You came just in time, help me decide, which store I want to buy from the left and right stores." Ji Xun talked to Yuan Yue, and took advantage of the opportunity to glance at Huo Ranyin.

Huo Ranyin looked around at the mother and baby store, then at him, and after recovering, he raised his eyebrows.

This guy, don't guess it.

Ji Xun walked to Huo Ranyin's side through the gap, and said in a low voice: "The movie is about to start, and all your subordinates have entered the door. What is Team Huo doing here? Why don't you hurry in and watch the movie?"

"Don't worry," Huo Ranyin also said in a low voice, "The scene outside is more exciting than inside. You walk the tightrope beautifully, and your luck is also very good."

"..."

Huo Ranyin found out everything, but Yuan Yue didn't find anything, and he agreed to Ji Xun's request: "That's easy, the movie will start right away, you go in with us to watch a movie, come out and make a decision."

There is a reason why this guy has not been able to embrace the beauty for a long time.

"Don't watch it, there's something good to see." Ji Xun also refused, "The third-rate script is just a big gimmick. It's a waste of time. It's not worth watching. You don't need to go to the cinema to watch it. I can guess the general plot—— —”

It's a hit movie.

As the playing time approaches, more and more viewers arrive here, waiting to enter.All kinds of smells were intertwined, and a trace of blood suddenly hit Ji Xun's nose.

His voice slowed down, and he followed the smell, only to see a large black bag passing by in the crowd.
