sincerity of lies

Ji Xun came back with a tray full of things, the night market was lively, a string of dim light bulbs pulled out a hazy tent, under the tent, a few low tables were scattered, and groups of friends gathered together, Some raised their fists and yelled, some whispered and laughed. The high and low voices gathered together and became a good background sound for the meal and wine.

But they didn't drink.

In addition to the full skewers, the drinks on Ji Xun's tray were two bottles of soda and one bottle of mineral water.

Ji Xun took the phone over, interrupting Yuan Yue and Huo Ranyin's bored and silent look at each other.

But he was not in a hurry to talk to Huo Ranyin, but fiddled with it a bit, using the chopstick holder on the table as a support, and then put the mobile phone on it, the chopstick holder and the mobile phone were placed on the corner of the table; he abandoned the position opposite Yuan Yue , and sat next door, at the other corner of the table - where the phone camera was facing.

In this way, the three of them form a triangle, and Huo Ranyin can see both of them at the same time.

Ji Xun took two bottles of soda, one for Yuan Yue, one for himself, and the last bottle of mineral water. He shook it and handed it to Huo Ranyin:

"Knowing that you are particular about your figure and don't drink carbonated drinks easily, I brought them specially for you."

Huo Ranyin: "..."

Ji Xun picked up some of the skewers on the tray and waved them in front of the phone screen: "Is the skewers edible? Although you can't eat them now, they smell good."

Huo Ranyin: "..."

Yuan Yue couldn't help laughing, took Ji Xun's tray, and stopped him from being funny: "Why are you bullying Dui Huo?"

Huo Ranyin was not moved by what Ji Xun said or did before, but as soon as Yuan Yue said this, Huo Ranyin's unmoved expression was broken, and he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

Ji Xun: "Is this called bullying? I think I am very caring."

"Yes, you are very caring." Yuan Yue usually does not argue with Ji Xun, he shared the food on the tray, and asked strangely, "Don't you not eat spicy food? Why do you sprinkle so much chili powder?"

"I don't eat." Ji Xun said leisurely, "Huo Dui eats."

Yuan Yue shook his head helplessly, picked up the skewers that hadn't been sprinkled with chili powder one by one, and put them on Ji Xun's dinner plate.But when the boss sprinkled chili powder, it was obviously very wild, and there were too few skewers without chili powder, so he asked the boss to bring a clean small brush, picked up some skewers that were not much stained, and brushed them. Pass it on again.

Ji Xun praised: "Thank you, you are still caring."

Huo Ranyin: "..."

Yuan Yue is very considerate.

Huo Ranyin still admitted this point, when this kind of caring is used in the right place, it is inevitable that people will be moved.

He didn't notice that he was showing a lot of satisfaction, but also a little subtle look.

Ji Xun noticed.

He didn't even need to turn his head to know what Huo Ranyin thought of again.

"You're welcome." Yuan Yue returned to Ji Xun. He brushed the chili powder, glanced at the big "Old Man Wang" LOGO on the barbecue stand, and suddenly smiled, "This barbecue shop is the one we used to come to."

He turned his head slightly, half of his face turned to Ji Xun.

The dim light cast a soft shadow on his face.

"I originally thought the taste of this restaurant was the best among the barbecue stalls, but then I came here alone a few times, and unexpectedly I didn't taste very good. Maybe the important thing is not what to eat, but who to eat with."

Well--

Huo Ranyin looked at Yuan Yue, Yuan Yue looked at Ji Xun, Ji Xun looked at Huo Ranyin.

From Huo Ranyin's face, he saw a more obvious satisfaction and a more distinct strangeness.

If I have to describe it, maybe Huo Ranyin held the sugar in one hand and the vinegar in the other, took a sip of the sugar and then drank the vinegar again, causing his face to look sweet but not sweet, sour but not sour.

Ji Xun originally thought that he and Yuan Yue were really very normal.

But tonight, Huo Ranyin's performance really made people unable to look away, and he couldn't help but think from Huo Ranyin's perspective for a moment... Then he turned to Yuan Yue, looking at him with a strange look, admitted:

From another angle, Yuan Yue's words are quite Bailian.

Huo Ranyin held the phone, and the camera clearly recorded every move of the two people opposite.Out of reason, he knew that he should hang up the video to give them some free space; but after a complicated inner decision, he didn't hang up the video and just watched the two of them chatting about each other.

Although Yuan Yue was eating the skewers, he did not forget Huo Ranyin.

His thoughtfulness most of the time always treats everyone equally.

"Captain Huo, what kind of flavor do you like? I'll go back to the police station later and bring you a copy."

"Thank you, Team Yuan." Huo Ran politely refused, "But I'm not at the police station, so don't bother me. Ji Xun knows where I am - let him bring me here."

"?" Ji Xun didn't look back, "Captain Huo, you are a busy man, how do I know where you are?"

"I believe we have a good understanding." Huo Ranyin's tone was sarcastically intimate, "You can contact me by phone when you want to confirm my certificate, and you can contact me by location when you want to send me supper."

Yo.

Ji Xun finally stopped looking at Yuan Yue, and turned his gaze back to Huo Ranyin.

Yuan Yue, who lowered his head to peel the crab legs, raised his head again, and he continued, "By the way, Ji Xun, did you drive out today?"

"No. What's the matter?" Ji asked.

"Then I'll take you to Team Huo later." Yuan Yue suggested, "It's more convenient."

"Okay." Ji Xun didn't agree, but Huo Ranyin agreed for him, and said, "I usually pick it up, but this time I will trouble Team Yuan."

"No trouble. I'm supposed to do all these things, but I'm bothering you." Yuan Yue replied seriously.

Huo Ranyin pursed the corners of his mouth slightly again, showing that half-smile satisfaction expression.

Ji Xun, who heard from the beginning to the end, admired Yuan Yue very much, and even wanted to vote for a reward.

What a powerful line, ordinary people can't say it, as expected, ignorance is the most invincible.

But Huo Ranyin is more fun.

Ji Xun raised his hand, hooked Yuan Yue's shoulder, and silently mouthed to Huo Ranyin:

Are you satisfied with what you see now?

Before Huo Ranyin could react, he touched a vinegar bag again, shook it in front of the screen, and said in the same friendly tone, "Okay, I'll take Yuan Yue's car later and bring you the supper. Vinegar packs? Is one pack enough? Do you want to dip it in or drink it straight away?"

"Huh, Team Huo likes to dip their skewers in vinegar?" This way of eating is very unique, so Yuan Yue added to the topic.

"..." Huo Ran finally felt momentary embarrassment as he reviewed the entire conversation.

In the next second, he raised his hand and turned off the video.

"Hey, Captain Huo?" Huo Ran's video was turned off abruptly, and Yuan Yue was puzzled.

Ji Xun was really about to collapse from laughter.

He hooked Yuan Yue's shoulders, thumped the table twice, then got up, threw away Yuan Yue's shoulders, took back his mobile phone, and said solemnly: "I guess the signal over there is not good."

After that, he made another video call and gave Huo Ranyin the steps.

The call is connected, but it's not video, it's voice.

Huo Ranyin's tone was a bit cold: "Hello."

Yuan Yue also asked: "Why are there no videos?"

Huo Ranyin: "...The signal is not good, let's use voice."

"Well, voice." Ji Xun ate barbecue slowly, "Anyway, we don't need a video to talk about serious things."

"I have a clue here." Huo Ran was able to speak seriously because he ignored Ji Xun, "In the case of the nursing home, the son who was suspected of committing a major crime reposted an article on the official account called "Beware of 'poisonous milk candy'" , Don’t Regret Your Life for a Moment of Carelessness”, and the same article was reposted by the wife in the case at night.”

"It sounds like the kind of theme that the circle of friends loves to repost." Ji Xun commented.

Huo Ranyin hummed: "Well, sensationalism, although the title says to be vigilant, it actually clearly describes how to obtain it, and combines it with survival pressure and other spiritual chicken soup. After reading it, it will only make the audience more anxious."

When Ji Xun heard this, he felt a little familiar. He flipped through his memory and asked: "It can't be, the content of Moments we saw on Xu Shuuoguo's mobile phone that followed Lian Panpan's mother and daughter that day, right? The writing style is very similar."

"Unfortunately, you guessed it right." Huo Ranyin, "This custom article was spread in this way. The original source was the group of Fuxing Education. Parents frequently forwarded it under the teacher's instruction. The reason for forwarding it is of course high-sounding. ——Know the situation, be vigilant, pay attention to safety, and beware of accidents. And the person who formulated the article and assigned the forwarding task, after investigation..."

"It's called Qian Shumao."

Huo Ranyin on the other end of the phone was stunned for a while, then asked, "How do you know?"

Ji Xun sighed: "Because he died, he died just now, in a seemingly normal traffic accident."

Yuan Yue, who had been listening silently, said at this moment: "Is the surname also Qian? Besides Zhao Yuanliang, I found another murderer who killed Tang Zhixue in Yi'an County. His name was Qian Xingfa."

Talking to this point, the road to the truth has been swept to the last part.

Huo Ran couldn't bear it anymore, so he sent a video call again.

Ji Xun picked it up and opened the soda at the same time.

The soda bubbled up, splashing some onto the screen and onto his hands.

He held his mobile phone and licked the tiger's mouth in front of the camera. He was not very surprised, but asked Yuan Yue if he had any pointers: "Qian Xingfa should be around 25 when the crime happened."

"..." Huo Ranyin.

Knowing that he can't influence the opponent here, he still subconsciously retreated a little distance, as if he could stay away from the opponent's lips and tongue this way.

"Yes, he was born in 66. If he is still alive, he has just turned 50." Yuan Yue continued.

"He died? When did he die?" Huo Ranyin asked.

"Well, Qian Xingfa may have died of advanced liver cancer 20 years ago."

"'Maybe'?" Ji Xun smiled, "You and the people around you don't quite believe the news of Qian Xingfa's death?"

"It's too coincidental." Yuan Yue said sternly, "Plus, after he died, I visited his hometown a few times. I didn't see how sad his family was. It doesn't feel right."

"I guess it's right to feel wrong."

Ji Xun pointed his finger at the gun, aimed at Huo Ranyin's heart, and fired.

"Bang—the bull's-eye hit. He died twice, this time for real. Check the DNA, Qian Shumao is Qian Xingfa."

"..." Huo Ranyin, "Speak well!"

Don't touch your hands!

Ji Xun blew his fingers and flung a provocative glance.

I'll do my best. If you have the ability, you can jump out of the screen.
