sincerity of lies

The surroundings were dim, and the sun was cut off from the closed security room, but there was no cold air, and wisps of cold air were blowing on his back, from the cracks in the door, the cracks in the windows, and corners invisible to the naked eye.

Kong Shuiqi heard his heart beating wildly, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead in shock. He pretended to be calm, and went to take out the handkerchief in his coat pocket:

"Not the police? Then you are..."

"As I said, my name is Ji Xun." Ji Xun said, "The gold pen in your coat pocket is very beautiful. A beautiful gold pen is suitable for writing. If you change it into a bug at will, the pen will cry."

Kong Shui shuddered, the pen on the bag fell to the ground, Gululu rolled between the two of them.

Ji Xun sighed regretfully: "Don't be nervous, don't even think about reaching for the phone with your right hand, holding a phone is stupider than holding a recorder."

He laughed.

Kong Shuiqi had no choice but to laugh along with him.

Smiling and laughing, he was the only voice left in the security room, the cold wind shuttled back and forth amidst his laughter, echoing sharply, his laughter became more and more dry, and finally he swallowed hard.

"why……?"

He actually asked a gangster who was suspected of imprisoning himself why using a mobile phone was stupider than using a voice recorder.

He thought of the reports he had done before, how those gangsters tortured and beat the victims, his wonderful writing was like being there... Now he is really there, and all the content he wrote in the past began to appear in the He played it back in his mind.

He hated his excellent memory.

"Because of the signal shielding device." Ji Xun said lazily, in a tone that everyone should understand, "Now that the school is keeping pace with the times, a shielding device is directly installed in the classroom to block the mobile phone signal and prevent cheating in the exam. , everything is fine, I can't dial 110, don't you think?"

Kong Shuiqi guessed a similar possibility, but when he heard the answer, he still felt that he was about to suffocate.

He's just a little reporter...

"What do you want to do? You are illegally imprisoned!"

"Illegal imprisonment? How could it be? We are innocent poor people trapped here because the door lock is broken. It is a coincidence that the signal near the unfinished building is poor. Alas, this broken place really needs to be tidied up Already." Ji Xun was about to smile, "Mr. Kong, you can abide by the law only if you know the law, and you can walk on the boundary of the law. Isn't it enough for you to be a reporter for these years?"

Kong Shuiqi was so thoughtful, so he immediately realized two things:

First, the man in front of him is indeed imprisoning himself, but he may not be able to produce strong evidence to make him pay the price if he calls the police; second, he is currently using soft violence, and he has not acted too aggressively, so everyone can talk calmly and rationally. chat.

Kong Shuiqi is a person who judges the situation.

He quickly restrained his anger and put on a smiling face, although the smiling face was a bit stiff: "Ji...Mr. Ji, yes, nice to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Kong." Ji Xun was equally gentle.

"If you are looking for me, I must be useful to you," Kong Shui said carefully, "In this case, why don't you open the skylight and tell the truth, what does Mr. Ji want from me, or what does he want me to do?"

"Mr. Kong is really on the right track, he is indeed a person who can write reports that touch the hearts of thousands of netizens."

"If you want me to delete the report, it's absolutely impossible. I don't have this authority, and I don't even know the account password of the "First Moment" official Weibo account." Kong Shuiqi said seriously, "And everyone is smart, delete it now." It doesn’t make much sense if you don’t delete it.”

Ji Xun clapped his palms to show his praise: "Mr. Kong is well-informed and experienced, and I admire him. Well, let me be straightforward, I want to know who broke the news for you, and I want to get relevant evidence. "

After listening to Ji Xun's words, Kong Shuiqi suppressed the previous tension for a while, and calmed down instead.

"Mr. Ji, I really want to help you." He put on a look of thinking about Ji Xun, not slipping, "But this matter, it's useless for you to ask me, I can only give you instructions." Tiao Minglu, the team leader who led me is also the deputy editor-in-chief of the magazine, Sister Hong. She decides all major and minor issues in the team. Go to the editor-in-chief..."

He sighed.

"Sister Hong rushed to take another step forward, but the editor-in-chief, that stubborn old man, refused to move his position. They were already in the same situation. You said that the people in the police station visited the wrong dock, how could they get a good result... "

"Reporter Kong, I'm not a policeman, and I won't go around in circles with you on the so-called process, and I'm not curious about any unknown workplace struggles within your magazine. I just know that if you continue to spend time with me here, then this The first-hand information of the follow-up series of reports may be dangerous. Before I came, I saw the logos of several media..."

"What we're doing is depth!" Kong Shuiqi immediately retorted, "It's not an Olympic race. Whoever arrives first wins."

Ji Xun laughed clearly.

The ridicule hit Kong Shuiqi's face like a whip, making him blush.

There is nothing wrong with the saying that the media should be in-depth, but there is no conflict between depth and timeliness. Besides, everyone is a media person. Who can’t be in-depth, but you have in-depth?

It's always an embarrassing moment when a lie is caught.

"Okay, Mr. Kong, what you are doing is deep, so you don't have to worry, just stay here with me and wait for the rescue to come." Ji Xun did not refute, and he was kind.

At this time, Kong Shuiqi became anxious instead.

If he is tied here and cannot communicate with the outside world, then the magazine will not be able to send new reporters to conduct interviews, and today's report will open the sky——

"Is there thirty thousand?"

Ji Xun said abruptly:

"Bonus for doing toffee coverage."

He asked when Kong Shuiqi was full of magazine reports, so his words pierced Kong Shuiqi's brain like a sword.This is already behind Kong Shui's defensive wall, the reporter laughed instinctively:

"Ah……"

Ji Xun understood: "I underestimated the reporter. It seems that this report has earned you far more than [-] yuan in bonuses. Alas, it is far more than [-] yuan just now. If you can finish this series of reports, I am afraid A stepping stone for the career of journalist Kong to take off? Of course, if because of your problem, this series is out of the sky, maybe..."

There may be big mistakes and big troubles.

No need for Ji Xun to explain it, Kong Shuiqi fully understood that he was pinched seven inches, and all the grease on his body was completely scraped off, replaced by ten layers of black paint, which completely clouded his face.

"What do you want to do?" He asked again, the urgency in his heart was beyond words, "I told you that I am not a leader!"

Ji Xun smiled slightly: "Then find a way to make the leader listen to you."

"I have no idea--"

"Bang" loud noise!

A chair lay down on the ground, raising the dust on the ground half an inch.

In contrast, Ji Xun still had a gentle expression: "Reporter Kong, think about it."

"I..." Kong Shuiqi was frightened, he stammered, "That man, that man didn't come by himself, he delivered it in an envelope... an envelope. I didn't believe it at first, but there was a murder video in the envelope ...I don't care who delivered it, as long as my report is true and reliable, it's fine, so..."

"Where is the envelope?" Ji Xun asked further.

"A drawer in my office...in a drawer."

"Details, where is the drawer?"

"The second drawer... the bottom... in the plywood, and put it in a plastic bag." Kong Shuiqi said everything, and after he finished speaking, he glanced at Ji Xun's face, and added timidly, "I'm afraid It has the suspect's fingerprints on it, so I'm afraid it will be damaged, so I kept it in a plastic bag... that's all, I've said it all, this time it's real, it's real gold..."

Ji Xun also observed Kong Shuiqi.

Kong Shuiqi was still very nervous, which can be explained by the fact that he was suddenly startled by the sound of the chair falling to the ground just now.

He was holding the bag in his hand tightly—he was also holding the bag when he was chatting just now—no matter what posture he used to hold the bag, one of his palms always stayed in the center of the bag.

Ji Xun guessed it, and said teasingly: "It turns out that the things are in your bag, and it's dark under the light. This hand is good at playing."

Kong Shuiqi was shocked.

"I—how do you know—" he slipped out, biting his tongue angrily, "Damn it!"

"Ah." Ji Xun said, "it's not a great skill, so I won't go into details. Thank you very much for your cooperation, and the police will also thank you. If this information was earlier - you probably can still get a commendation. "

He got all the clues he wanted, and it was time to get out.

However, Ji Xun decided not to call Huo Ranyin, and just waited for Huo Ranyin to find him.

Ji Xun took out his phone from his pocket and started playing games.

Kong Shuiqi was still in regret, and his tone was not very good: "I said everything, why, can't you go out?"

"I said I didn't imprison you, Mr. Kong, you can move freely, if you want to go out, call the locksmith and ask him to come over and open the lock, wouldn't it be good?" Ji Xun said leisurely.

"How can I call without a signal?!"

"Hey, no signal?" Ji Xun looked surprised, "Could it be that I'm playing on a ghost server?"

Kong Shui was stunned, and he took a closer look and found that Ji Xun was playing an online game.

That is to say-

He immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket.

The signal is full!

Kong Shuiqi almost vomited blood: "You lied to me—"

"Look at what you're talking about." Ji Xun laughed, "I just told you about the magic of the school's signal jammer. Besides, using a signal jammer is against the law. Am I the kind of person who would break the law? ?"

Kong Shuiqi was aggrieved and helpless, he could only say: "Aren't you afraid that some news will come in during our chat, and your lie will be self-defeating?"

"Reporter Kong just finished writing an explosive report, and it became a hit. With the notification on the mobile phone, you don't have to work for a whole day, so I guess, at least for the past two days, Reporter Kong's mobile phone is on silent mode." Ji Xun said, raising his eyebrows at the end, "Did I guess right?"

"..."

This man is so damn right!

Kong Shuiqi gritted his teeth, twisted his face, and insisted on speaking, but——"Bang"!

The door was kicked open heavily, and a figure stood at the door, and the light flooded in, sweeping away the drowsiness in the room, making him seem to be standing in the center of the light, a shadow under the light.

"Are you...?" Kong Shuiqi turned around suddenly, with a look of astonishment, "Captain Huo? Is it you?"

There is no need for Huo Ranyin to answer, he has already figured everything out.

He looked hopeless.

"Some people reported that there was noise from the abandoned unfinished building. I happened to be nearby, so I came to have a look." Huo Ranyin spoke to Kong Shuiqi, but looked directly at Ji Xun.

Ji Xun whistled and jumped off the table: "It's really timely."

He passed by Kong Shuiqi's side without stopping, but an envelope in a plastic bag was already in his hand.

He greeted Huo Ranyin, the two of them staggered, the evidence was handed over, the responsibility was passed on, two whispers sounded at the same time, like fingertips that accidentally collided when they handed over the envelope:

"Thanks."

"Need not."

The envelope was a very ordinary kraft paper envelope, and on the front was written "Editorial Department at the First Moment·Kong Shui Qiqi". The words were printed, using the same black ink as the A4 paper inside.

The brand of ink can be detected by the people from the trace inspection department after doing a test.

The content of the A4 paper is not long, and straight to the point it said that it was Xin Yongchu who poisoned, and the motive for committing the crime was related to Tang Zhixue.

There is also a USB flash drive inside, presumably it contains the video of Xin Yongchu's murder, this video is the evidence, making Kong Shuiqi believe that all this is not groundless.

The USB flash drive was very new, with no scratches on it, the most common type in Kingston, probably bought by Xin Yongchu or a friend on the spur of the moment.

Huo Ranyin looked at the envelope with gloves on for a while, then moved closer.

It was a very faint scent of women's perfume, and it could be smelled as Bai Ruide's Rose of No Man's Land.

Ji Xun noticed his action, flipped through the clips in his mind, and quickly found the frame he wanted: "My nose is not as sharp as yours, but Lian Panpan wears very high-end perfume."

Kong Shui, who was sitting in the back seat of the car and had resigned himself to being questioned, raised one ear cleverly.

Ji Xun, who was watching his movements in the rearview mirror, couldn't help laughing: "Reporter Kong is still thinking about the news, really dedicated. Want to taste the crime of obstructing official duties, and be detained by the police for a few days? Come out just to write in-depth Old news."

Kong Shui was embarrassed: "No way, I'm going to thank the people's police for giving me a ride, why would I have such an unreasonable thought, I also understand the law, some clues that can't be said, guesses that can't be given, I will not write it casually."

Ji Xun: "Cooperate then? Why don't you cooperate with the police to carry out phishing law enforcement, expose some directional fake news on the news, deceive the accomplice who killed Tang's accountant, and try to catch the suspect?"

Huo Ranyin glanced at him, only said "don't make trouble", but didn't move any more.

To Kong Shui, this sounds like a replica of what he experienced just now, Fishing Law Enforcement 2.0.

He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead in the winter, frantically choosing his words and sentences, trying to escape this troublesome thing.But at this moment, the message reminders that he had just opened sounded continuously like a ghost.

He lowered his head to check the news, and after a while, his face changed drastically.

"Two police officers, I'm afraid not. Someone has done a full analysis of the Tang Zhixue case."

He turned on the screen of his phone to Huo Ranyin and Ji Xun, and there was a video made by a C station up host named "Half a Cabbage", which was sent 15 minutes ago.

In just 15 minutes, the barrage of this video has filled the screen.

Ji Xun glanced at the title of the video:

"On-the-spot investigation of the scene of the 22-year-old unsolved case, revealing the whole process of the murderer's crime"
