sincerity of lies

She is informed.

It is even very possible that Ji Xun's guess just now was part of the truth back then.

But there is also a key question -

They have no more evidence, and everything is guesswork. For detectives, guesswork is no problem, but it is fatal to the process of criminal investigation. The police cannot rely on guesswork alone to solve the case.

Ji Xun's gaze flitted across Cheng Xiang's face, which was as indifferent as ice.

He thought quickly about the breakthrough.

For the sake of Song Tingfeng, Cheng Xiang was willing to seduce Mo Nai again after breaking up, but Song Tingfeng jumped off the building and died in the end... Does Cheng Xiang feel guilty about Song Tingfeng?Song Tingfeng may become a breakthrough point. Although Song Tingfeng is dead, Song Tingfeng still has his parents, who lost their independence in middle age. If they know what happened back then, there may be hidden secrets...

No.

This kind of extraterrestrial trick is not authentic enough.For the two old people, it was nothing more than opening up their past wounds again, and bleeding again.The truth is important, but it is the responsibility of the police to pay the price and work hard for the truth.

It's a long story, but when I think about it, it's just a blink of an eye.

Also in this gap, Ji Xun suddenly glimpsed the corner of the living room, two shadows under the door of the study room, which were traces cast by someone standing inside.There were only four people in the room, they and Cheng Xiang stayed in the living room at the same time, and it was self-evident who stayed in the study.

"What you said makes sense." Ji Xun said suddenly, "I'm sorry to bother you so late and ruin your boyfriend's marriage proposal ceremony. Let's do this for today. Go ahead, we'll go back first."

"But don't go out for a few days, there may be some things I need to ask you to understand." Huo Ranyin continued.

Cheng Xiang was right in front of him, and he didn't greet Huo Ranyin when he said this.

But Huo Ranyin connected without any obstacles.

This is probably the trust in each other.However, is it intellectual trust, or emotional trust?

Ji Xun was somewhat curious, so when he left Cheng Xiang's room, he asked directly.

Huo Ranyin glanced at Ji Xun.He stood in the corridor, didn't continue walking, just smiled lightly: "Ji Xun, do you think you're the only one who can see the feet under the door?"

"Oh—" Ji Xun was very disappointed, "If you are too sensible, you will be bored."

"Reason can make work go smoothly." Huo Ranyin.

"But emotions can make life wonderful, right?" Ji Xun added the second half of the sentence.

They didn't move, they just waited. There is a high probability that some disputes will break out in the room. This kind of dispute may give them some opportunities for breakthrough. Out of control - Even if it gets out of control, it can be stopped in time.

With a high probability, something happened immediately, and after only 3 minutes, the sound came out from inside, which was quite clear.

First came the boyfriend's voice: "Think about it, is what the policeman said true? Didn't you say that you and your ex-boyfriend broke up cleanly? Why, why..."

Then came Cheng Xiang's harsh tone: "What do you mean? How do you know this? You eavesdropped? Also, is what the police say? I haven't said anything yet!"

Ji Xun put his hands in his pockets, leaned on the handrail of the stairs in the corridor and sighed:

"It is said that it is better to buy an old house. Old-style houses are strong and the bricks are solid. For new-style houses, because the price is set by the government, the cost of building materials is increasing year by year, and developers want to make money, so they cut corners on materials. Hollow brick; now it seems that there is some truth to it..."

After chatting so casually, Ji Xun didn't speak any more, and left the stage to the two people in the room.

Cheng Xiang's boyfriend is called Wei Jun.

As the name suggests, he is still very handsome, but just listening to his current conversation, you can't tell how handsome he is.

Wei Jun said: "Think about it, don't be so excited, I'm just asking, you said that your girlfriend has been found by the police, can't I ask? Right, I also care about you."

Cheng Xiang sneered: "Okay, then what do you want to ask, how did I sleep with my ex-boyfriend?"

"How can you speak so harshly!"

"So you don't want to ask this, so what do you want to ask? My roommate committed suicide after being raped?"

There was a brief silence in the room, maybe Wei Jun lowered his voice and whispered.

At this time, Ji Xun couldn't help looking at the door with regretful eyes. If Huo Ranyin wasn't around, he would stick to the door panel and eavesdrop on the conversation inside—it's a pity that Huo Ranyin is here, and the image still needs to be paid attention to.

Fortunately, this quiet communication did not last for a few seconds.

After a while, Cheng Xiang's sharp voice came from inside again: "You still said that you don't care about the bed with my ex-boyfriend! What you are asking is not all about how Mo Nai and I got into the hotel and did it in the hotel again." What, I don't understand, why have you changed your ways to find out about the men and women in my college days since you were with me?"

"What do you mean I want to inquire, I am concerned! We are going to get married, can I ask?"

"I don't need your concern! And first, I didn't promise to marry you; second, I never asked about your ex-girlfriend, right?"

"Ask! Isn't it your ex-girlfriend? I'll tell you everything you ask, and I promise I won't hide anything." Wei Jun said.

"Coincidentally, I don't want to know anything about you and your ex-girlfriend; I also hope you don't know anything about me and my ex-boyfriend."

"Why?" While talking, Wei Jun became anxious, "Why don't you say it? Are you afraid that I will look down on you because you slept with someone else? I won't! Everyone is a person in modern society, then A layer of film can't represent anything..."

In the corridor, Ji Xun couldn't help snorting when he heard this, and answered Wei Jun's words through the door: "I didn't see that you didn't care, I just saw that you cared. Looking at others, don't you know your heart? Let's do it first." The past of your girlfriend, and when your girlfriend becomes a wife, these will become your weaknesses that you can attack in your future life, plus the humiliation of being a slut... It's been 6102 years, and the feudal legacy has not been cleaned up. "

This kind of indifference on the lips, but in fact the most caring expression in the heart, is that Cheng Xiang, who gets along with him day and night, can't be fooled.In fact, most of the contradictions in marriage, if you tell outsiders, they say "that's it"?It's purely standing and talking without pain in the back. Only when you are in that environment can you experience the eyebrows and eyes, the suffocation and emptiness.

There was a series of insignificant female screams and shattering noises in the room, probably because Cheng Xiang swept some glass products to the ground and broke them, and when the back door opened, Wei Jun scratched his face with red face. Hen was kicked out in a mess.

He saw Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin in the corridor at a glance.

Still the same sentence, as long as you are not embarrassed, it is others who are embarrassed.

Ji Xun, who was clearly eavesdropping on the conversation inside, looked at Wei Jun very calmly, but Wei Jun kept a secret and yelled inside: "Cheng Xiang, are you crazy? I'll just poke you Lung tube is broken, how many talks did you have in the past, it can't fit in a bus, don't get married!"

Another vase was thrown out of the door and hit the ground. It was a European-style vase with only a clock on it. The enamel painting on the body of the vase was torn apart. The angel holding the clock broke its wings, and spider webs crawled on the dial.

Then, intermittent sobs came from the room, and Cheng Xiang was breaking down and crying in the living room.

Standing outside the door, facing the hallway at the junction of the living room and the dining room, you can't directly see the people in the room—and the people in the room can't directly see them.

Want to go in?Ji Xun asked Huo Ranyin with his eyes.

hold on.Huo Ranyin also answered with eyes.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the sound in the room gradually died down, but before the two of them started to move, the elevator lighted up, and a middle-aged woman with a bag appeared on this floor. She had a pair of sharp eyes. , with one sweep, Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin standing in the corridor were instantly aggressive:

"Who are you? What are you doing standing in front of my daughter's door?"

Of course he was looking for an opportunity...to handle the case.

The two were somewhat embarrassed. At this moment, Cheng Xiang, who heard the voice, came from the living room, opened a pair of red eyes, and looked at his mother in surprise: "Mom, why are you here?"

"You're still talking about why I'm here," the mother immediately turned to her daughter, "Xiao Wei's parents have already called me and your father!"

These words did not hesitate to add fuel to the flames, and Cheng Xiang was instantly ignited: "How old is he this year? He quarreled and filed a complaint with his parents? Stop talking, this marriage is over!"

"You child... stop making trouble, go in and talk." The mother became anxious in an instant and pushed her daughter into the door.

As she said that, she was about to close the door, but Cheng Xiang quickly grabbed Ji Xun's sleeve and dragged Ji Xun in.Ji Xun reacted quickly, grabbed Huo Ranyin's arm with his backhand, and brought Huo Ranyin in with him.

With a pass of the noose, all four of them entered the house.

Mom looked at Cheng Xiang, then at Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin, she thought of something, her face turned green: "Think about it, who are these people? They are still here at this late hour, you and them, can't be... "

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, and vice versa.

Cheng Xiang broke down and said: "Mom, are you crazy, you think it's my boyfriend when you see a guy? These are two big men! Am I having 3P with both of them at the same time?"

"..." It turned out to be this idea.

Rao has always been a mental patient with a broad mind, and Ji Xun also failed to keep up with this aunt's train of thought.He sighed to himself.

Mom smiled embarrassingly: "Why do you speak so badly? Am I asking for nothing? Since they have nothing to do with you, let them go out. It's not good for family members to talk privately and outsiders around."

"I'm afraid that you will force me to jump out of the window later. In order not to cause a tragedy, I will make you the murderer of my own daughter. First find two people to protect me." Cheng Xiang's anger passed the threshold and he recovered In spite of the coldness before, even the tone became more bitter and mean, "Mom, if you want to say it, say it quickly, if you don't say it, I'm going to sleep."

"I know you're in a bad mood, so I won't say it, I won't say it." Mom said this, but after only a second, she spoke again, "Think about it, you and Wei Jun have a quarrel, and mom doesn't object , but it's too much to make a fuss about not getting married. Wei Jun's family is a good match with us, and he is also a nice person. You have always had a good relationship with him before. How did you get to the point where you didn't get married? It wasn't your mother who said you, you used to It's really absurd and not reserved enough, so it's no wonder Wei Jun murmured in his heart. This kind of thing, just act like a baby and let it go."

"Is this my fault?" Cheng Xiang sneered, "Doesn't Wei Jun have an ex-girlfriend?"

"It's different for a man to have an ex-girlfriend than for a woman to have an ex-boyfriend. If a man in his thirties hasn't dated a girl or two, I'm still worried that there's something wrong with him."

"Mom, don't you think your point of view is weird?" Cheng Xiang quickly countered, "I'm not reserved when talking about my ex-boyfriend, but it's natural for him to talk about his ex-girlfriend. If there is no girl who is not reserved like me, where would he come from?" Naturally normal'!"

Mom was also angry: "I'm your mother, I can still hurt you. If you are reserved, of course others love you more. What do you care about those girls who are not reserved? They are just—"

"I'm just talking about a boyfriend, how do you say I'm like a broken shoe?"

"Cheng Xiang, is it interesting for you to say that!"

"Why is it boring? Do you think that if I break up with Wei Jun, I will be useless? You can see that my eyes are dirty! Do you want me to jump off the building like Song Tingfeng before you are satisfied!!!"

"You—you, why did you mention Song Tingfeng? What does this have to do with her?"

"It doesn't matter, let me tell you that the two next to me are policemen, and they are here to investigate Song Tingfeng's affairs! What the school said is correct, and what you said in the past is also true. My master's degree, this boyfriend, all Relying on Song Tingfeng to be raped, he jumped off the building to get it from the Baoyan, right?!"

Mother Cheng blushed.

This kind of private, pros and cons analysis based on the fresh life of a young girl, if the mother and daughter look forward to the future in the dead of night, they don’t think there is anything wrong with it, it’s just spreading the truth, but if it’s put in In front of two strangers, in front of the police, the worldly sense of morality hijacked her brain in an instant, making her feel ashamed and humiliated.

"What nonsense are you talking about? When did mother say such a thing?" She denied it in a panic, not daring to look at Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin.

"Oh, why didn't you say that you praised me for being poor in studies, but you dare not admit that this master's degree is good? Do you think it's dirty? I think it's dirty too, but I'm so dirty in your eyes anyway. Is it worse than that?" She turned around abruptly, faced Ji Xun, and sneered almost presumptuously, "And you, you policemen, these bastards, it took nine years to realize that I could do it. Perjury, the case is closed, and I can’t be arrested if I want to.”

"What are you talking about? What perjury? Is this nonsense?" The mother raised her hand angrily and slapped her daughter. She slapped her daughter hard and fast. Because she didn't have time to stop her, but when she turned to the policeman again, she smiled apologetically, "Comrade policeman, don't listen to my daughter's nonsense, she quarreled with her boyfriend tonight, it was too exciting, and nothing counts... ..."

Ji Xun glanced at his mother and looked at his daughter.

It is now 9:30 in the evening.

It was less than half an hour since they had just talked to Cheng Xiang.Half an hour is a very short time, and a lot has changed. A glamorous corner of life has been uncovered, and the gift box wrapped in silk and satin is full of corpses of mosquitoes and flies.

It occurred to him that actually the first "slightly" in the exhaustive method of Noon and Huo Ranyin included a possibility, that is, Mo Nai was a rapist and the evidence was forged.

He is a rapist, so he is guilty of going to jail.

Cheng wanted to perjure her, so she knew.

Using a forged evidence to convict a real rapist is the storyline that Cheng Xiang believed about nine years ago.

As for why the evidence was falsified——

Ji asked: "Did Song Tingfeng not only take a shower but also wash his underwear after being raped?"

Cheng Xiang bit her lower lip tightly, she ignored the hot slap marks on her face, her thoughts followed Ji Xun's words, and she couldn't help but go back to that night nine years ago.

It's really strange, so long has passed, and even though a newer and better life surrounds her in all directions, her life seems to be stuck in the past.

That night was so vivid, and in the following years, it often reappeared in her nightmares, as if it was yesterday.

However, her current life seemed to be covered in fog and lack of soul. The days passed day by day, as if they had passed, or hadn't passed.

That night, when she opened the door of the dormitory, Song Tingfeng's bed was empty. She soaked all the bedding, clothes and even the mosquito net in the washbasin of the three of them and rubbed them frantically. The floor of the dormitory was wet and full of water. .

She and Yu Yu asked her suspiciously, what are you doing?

Then I saw Song Tingfeng's eyes that were empty and dead, and her voice came out of her throat, as dry and hoarse as a weak person at the end of her life: "Think about it, Ayu, I'm so dirty."

So dirty...

No matter how much you rub your body or your clothes, you can't get them clean.

"That night, she had to go to the toilet to take a shower every half hour, and all ten fingers were soaked white." Cheng Xiang spoke very softly, as if afraid of shocking someone. Ground, she would never go back to bed to sleep, "She has the best grades and the smartest among us. She found out that I was cheated by Mo Nai. She said that Mo Nai's class time was very strange, and then she went to the school guard to think about it." We managed to get the roster of the whole school, and we went one by one, but couldn't find his student status. Only a few days after I broke up with Mo Nai, she was retaliated against."

Cheng Xiang almost sobbed: "I killed her."

Huo Ranyin: "You want to make up for her, to avenge her?"

"Is this revenge?" Cheng Xiang asked excitedly, "Mo Nai raped her! We just let the law do what it was supposed to do! You have never been raped, how do you know the horror of going through such a thing? At that time, who would think about evidence or not! Tingfeng cried and told us the next day that we should not wash the clothes, she is already smart and calm enough! If it were me, I would only collapse for longer than her , the things you do in a hothead will only become more outrageous!"

Ji Xun sighed lightly.

He thought of his novel, The Poisonous Fruit, from the fruit of the poisonous tree*.

Even if Mo Nai is really the murderer, is this a happy ending? ——Criminals who have escaped justice will finally obey the law. No matter whether the procedure is just or not, the result is justice in the end.

impossible.

Unjust procedures will only lead to unjust results.

Ji Xun said: "But Song Tingfeng didn't see Mo Nai's appearance."

"She didn't see it, but other students saw it. It wasn't a collusion confession made by us in advance, it was discovered by your police investigation!"

Ji Xun ignored Cheng Xiang's excitement, and continued calmly: "Song Tingfeng's testimony has this sentence. She was in a daze, and heard the door open and close twice. 'The door opens and closes twice'. You, you, just I never thought that maybe on the night when the crime happened, it was not one person but two people who entered the girls' dormitory. Mo Nai came in first, and the other came in later. It was not Mo Nai who committed the rape, but followed Mo Nai The person behind Nai?"

"how can that be!"

Cheng Xiang hissed to deny it.

"Mo Nai's father is a murderer, his mother is a prostitute, and he even lied to me that he is a college student! A murderer's child full of lies, didn't he rape Song Tingfeng, who else would rape Song Tingfeng? It was him, it was he!"

Ji Xun watched Cheng Xiang for a long time, but he remained silent.

It was Huo Ranyin who spoke.

"The child of a murderer is a rapist." Huo Ranyin said lightly, "This point of view is similar to your mother's 'girls from a good family are reserved and claim to have no ex-boyfriend'. There must be several layers of similarities."

The gift box broke.

The corpses of the flies collapsed all over the ground, and the silk and satin were still bright and beautiful, only becoming the shroud of the flies.

Cheng Xiang panted heavily, she stepped back a few steps, suddenly limp and fell on the sofa.

Leaning on the armrest, she looked up at Ji Xun and the two of them.Her eyes are like two sharp knives, the sharp knives are quenched.

"Even if Mo Nai is really not the murderer, what about Song Tingfeng? She was raped, and it ended just because she washed herself clean? It's over with nothing to do and nothing to ask for?"

The author has something to say: Fruit of the poisonous tree: theory (English: Fruit of the poisonous tree) in the United States refers to evidence obtained through illegal means during the investigation process. The logic of the term is that if the source of the evidence (the tree) is contaminated, then any The evidence (fruit) obtained from it is also tainted and will not be admissible in the process of litigation, even if the evidence is sufficient to reverse the judgment result.
