sincerity of lies

Room 2, Building 602, Huatian District, Xiaohe Road, Yi'an County.

Yuan Yue is standing here.

It is no different from the one in memory, the door is still the same iron door, but it is more rusty and mottled, and the corridor is also the same corridor, even the small advertisements on the walls have not changed.

Yi'an County is one of Yuan Yue's hometowns.

During the nine years from elementary school to junior high school, he lived with his parents in Yi'an County, the address is just across from 602.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Time is a solemnly dressed woman, with a flick of its complicated skirt, it will shake people back to the past of memory.

22 years ago, Yuan Yue was 12 years old and was in the sixth grade of elementary school.

A major event happened in the county, but his parents didn't want to tell him, and told the children not to inquire about it. Yuan Yue was obedient, never curious, and honestly went to and from school. Some children wanted to whisper to him. He also rejected the shadow of "big event".

Because he promised his parents, he will do what he promised.

Until one afternoon, the weather was fine, the orange-red sun burned half of the sky red, and the clouds rolled up the flames of the sea of ​​fire, wandering around in the blue.Yuan Yue was doing his homework at the desk when he suddenly heard a patter.

The flower stand outside his window shook, a huge black ball fell on the flower stand outside his window, and bounced into the room again.

Like the sun falling from the sky.

It's like a UFO flew into his house.

It seems that all kinds of fantasy stories he learned from books are backed by reality.

Then the black ball that fell into the room stretched out. He was stubbled, tall and strong, wiping cold sweat and breathing heavily.He is not some fantasy creature, but Uncle Cai from next door.

And his and Uncle Cai's houses are on the sixth floor.

Yuan Yue looked at the window high above the ground.

Uncle Cai patted Yuan Yue's head, and Yuan Yue swayed back and forth with his big slap: "Are you Lao Yuan's child? Yo, you are so big, a little thin, eat more, and you will be cute when you grow strong. "

Yuan Yue: "..."

"By the way, my little one, if you didn't install anti-theft nets, you have to lock the windows, otherwise thieves will visit you. Do you know what a thief is? Take a hook on the roof of the building and jump down by yourself. Bats fly, spiders crawl, brush I just ran into your house and emptied all your valuables..."

Uncle Cai cursed.

"What kind of broken construction company, there is no garden, gazebo, swimming pool as promised, none of them are the same as the drawings, and they want to charge us property fees for illegal construction, and they say that we are not allowed to install anti-theft for the sake of beauty, I bah, can I give you Beautiful, so beautiful, why don’t you daydream about flying to the moon and marrying Chang’e as your wife?”

Yuan Yue: "..."

He couldn't understand, and looked at Uncle Cai in a daze.

"This kid, he doesn't talk all the time, why is he so dumb?"

Uncle Cai didn't waste any more time for Mu Leng Leng's child. After looking around like a thief for a while, he opened the anti-theft door of Yuan Yue's house and slipped away quietly.

Yuan Yue stood at the door, and when the door was about to close, he heard a woman crying from the opposite room, as well as the angry voice of Uncle Cai's son. Uncle Cai's son was in the fourth grade this year, two years younger than him.

But it seems that he is much smarter than him. The child from the old Yuan's family always responds a little slower than other children, so don't be stupid.

People in the community were talking behind their backs like this, and he heard the other party yelling:

"Don't cry, that old guy is a big idiot, he can't solve the case, dare not see you, run away! It's useless for you to stay in our house!"

……

For the next few days, there was no change in the life. The only episode in the middle was that Yuan Yue went to find his mother two days after the incident and asked her for a video camera. Ball never forgets.

It would be nice if the big black ball came again.

His mother suggested that he become a reporter in the future. Journalists can record interesting things. He thinks this sentence is very reasonable, because he wants to record this scene, and even wrote in the composition:

"I want to have a pair of beautiful eyes that can discover interesting things around me; I also want to have a pair of dexterous hands that can carry a camera to record this scene..."

Then the big black ball jumped on his window again.

This time he couldn't jump in directly, because Yuan Yue followed the good advice and checked the locks of the windows every day. Except for opening the windows for an hour in the morning and evening to ventilate, the rest of the time he locked the windows tightly.

The repeated knocking sounds urged Yuan Yue to open the window, and when Yuan Yue opened the window, he jumped in quickly, looking at the cracked wooden flower table with lingering fear: "You child, why are you so awkward, I said You just listen to whatever you want, and you really locked the window? Then what if I want your window to fall down?"

"Parents said, listen to everything that makes sense." Yuan Yue replied.

"This unlucky boy..." Uncle Cai said angrily, "Go and go, open the door and take a look to see if there is anyone blocking the corridor. Those people came here to give gifts to uncle, but uncle is a policeman and cannot make mistakes , so you take a look quietly, if there is someone, don’t say anything, come back and tell me, understand?”

Yuan Yue nodded obediently, but in the next second, he said again: "Uncle lied to people. Those people didn't come to give gifts. They want uncle to solve the case, but uncle is useless and can't solve the case."

The sun-tanned face glowed with embarrassment and resentment.

"Hey, I said, did you do it on purpose? Did you learn from that little kid in my family? It's not big or small!"

……

This afternoon, the stairway was always blocked by people, and Uncle Cai was still unable to go out.

He had no choice but to stay in Yuan Yue's house, playing Yuan Yue's game console, eating Yuan Yue's snacks, and talking nonsense with Yuan Yue, telling many stories about criminal police and solving cases.

In his story, the criminal policeman is wise and brave enough to eradicate violence and safety. Even the slightest clue is the key to unlocking the truth. Yuan Yue moved a small bench and sat aside, and later peeled apples and oranges under the instructions of Uncle Cai. , These stories are full of suspenseful charm, he listened with gusto, thinking about them.All this afternoon was great.

Only when it was getting late, people outside left, and Uncle Cai came home, his parents came back and asked him if he had played games and had snacks in the afternoon.

Yuan Yue shook his head honestly, but he did not confess to Uncle Cai, because Uncle Cai asked him to keep it a secret, and no one could tell.

So he was severely beaten, and he couldn't walk very well for several days.

……

After a while, no one came to block Uncle Cai anymore, and Uncle Cai no longer jumped into his window through the flower stand.

He saw Uncle Cai again, under the building in the community.

On the open space downstairs, there were two groups of people standing, one group headed by Uncle Cai, all policemen, this community is a police fund-raising building, most of the residents inside are policemen, only their family moved in from outside; On the other side is the property of the community, which is a subsidiary department of the community development company.

Yuan Yue heard from his parents that the owner of this development company was originally a local ruffian who contracted the real estate boldly, but the habit of the ruffian remained unchanged, he cut corners and materials when building the house, and the owner played tricks.

This is not the first conflict between Uncle Cai and the property, but this time the conflict is particularly serious.

There was only a sound of the horn of the car, and a truck came, and the door opened. Dozens of strong men in camouflage uniforms got out of the car and stood beside the property, confronting Uncle Cai and the others.

The two sides scolded each other, then pushed and shoved.

Yuan Yue lay on the window sill and watched for a long time, feeling that this scene was miraculous, he raised the camera.

……

What happened later, Yuan Yue heard his parents chatting at the dinner table and then learned about it.

That day, the police headed by Uncle Cai and the camouflaged strong man headed by the property manager pushed and shoved briefly, and the conflict escalated into a group brawl involving more than a hundred people on both sides.

The strong man in camouflage is a professional thug, and he did not fall behind the police. Both sides were bleeding and went to the hospital. However, after entering the hospital, the property management turned to the police and filed a complaint first, saying that the police had beaten someone.

The situation is serious.

"Oh, I heard that all the policemen who participated in the fight will be dealt with seriously and fired."

"Why is the punishment so severe? It's because the property owner has bullied people too much, and the owners have collectively resisted. You can't protect your rights as an owner just because you are a policeman. Take a step back, and the law should not blame the public!"

"It's okay to blame the public. The newspapers outside have published it. The headline is 'The Black Sheep in the Police Force'. It's the first-rate online. I think the real estate company has stuffed money into the media. There are fights in the afternoon and reports in the evening. Who would believe it? !"

"Speaking of which, I blame Lao Cai and the others for being too careless. It must be unreasonable to strike first..."

Yuan Yue heard this all the time, and said, "But it wasn't Uncle Cai and the others who made the first move, it was the opposite side."

Parents said to him: "Don't interrupt children when adults talk."

Yuan Yue: "The teacher taught us that right or wrong has nothing to do with age. Threesomes must have my teacher. It wasn't Uncle Cai and the others who did it first, it was the camouflage uniforms at the property that first did it. I took pictures with my mother's video camera. "

……

That night, Yuan Yue accompanied his father to the police station and handed in the camera.

The chubby police chief came out in person, looked at the things captured by the camera, and then he blushed, and patted the child on the shoulder vigorously several times: "You kid, you are promising, you know how to uphold justice at a young age Already!"

Later, Uncle Cai and the others were all fine, the boss who built the house went to jail, and the property was disbanded.

Yuan Yue, who was only 12 years old, successfully saved the careers of many policemen with a piece of evidence that was photographed casually. At the celebration dinner afterwards, everyone was very happy and drunk. Only Yuan Yue, who was under the age of , I can only walk back and forth with a glass of juice in my hand, toast to every uncle who respects him, and drink until my belly is round.

Finally he walked up to Uncle Cai.

Uncle Cai's face was also flushed, and he patted him on the shoulder as hard as the director: "Good boy, it's ok, you have one-tenth of your uncle Cai's demeanor, today is something that you can brag about for the rest of your life!"

"I don't want to blow for the rest of my life."

Yuan Yue looked up at Uncle Cai.He doesn't want to be a reporter anymore, since Uncle Cai jumped into his window sill in a red evening, life has become an exciting story. Fantastic colors.

"I want to be a policeman, I want to uphold justice, I want to solve more cases."

The bowl of noodles at noon was really not very enjoyable. After the two finished eating, they both pressed their stomachs subconsciously, trying to erase the strange heavy feeling.

Then they keep working.

Understanding Liandazhang's past is the first step. Next, they are going to investigate about Xin Yongchu. According to Xin Yongchu's files, his father died, his mother remarried, and he formed a new family very early.

When they came to visit, Xin Yongchu's mother was similar to Lian Dazhang's mother, showing impatience for their arrival, and didn't want to mention anything about Xin Yongchu, just said that she had forgotten it, and maybe she had forgotten it long ago.

The two got nothing, so they went to Accountant Tang—they consulted the police station. Accountant Tang's mother is still alive and lives next door to the house where Accountant Tang died.

They arrived at their destination according to the address given by the police station.

The destination is a bit unbelievable. This is not so much a residence as it is a forgotten reed field. The messy reeds have grown to the height of a person, and the residence of Accountant Tang’s mother is in this reed field. the depths.

If you want to go in, you have to go through mountains and rivers and overcome thorns and thorns.

"Has no one come to develop this land?" Ji Xun looked ahead.

"Because Accountant Tang's mother is unwilling, she must guard the empty house where her son was killed, and she will keep it for as long as she says, and she must wait until the day when the case comes to light. No matter how much money or more apartments are given to her, she will not move. An orphan Old man, if you want so many houses, who will you leave them to?" Huo Ranyin replied.

Ji Xun didn't speak any more.

Accountant Tang was in his 40s when he died. Now 22 years have passed, and his mother should be in her 80s.

An old man in his [-]s, seeing that every day is missing, if he goes to sleep today, he doesn’t know if he will wake up tomorrow, and this may be the last thought left in his life.

After walking through the reeds for about 3 minutes, the two finally saw the house.

It’s just the earthen houses in the countryside, which are still in disrepair for a long time. A brick collapses here, and a little rain leaks there. Even if you just stand outside and look at it, you feel dangerous.

But the house is still clean and tidy. The old lady living in the house, with loose teeth and staggering steps, still works hard to clean the environment and insists on living every possible life.

"Old lady," Huo Ranyin said, "I'm from the police station..."

He only said this sentence, and the cloudy eyes of the old man sitting in the rocking chair suddenly became clear, as if the morning sun defeated the evening, and she once again had vigorous vitality.
