There was a moment of silence.

Huo Ranyin pondered for a long time: "Call me brother."

Ji Xun: "Huh?"

Huo Ranyin: "Brother Sheng, I'll pick you up and take you to the car."

Ji Xun lazily said: "Why do you call me that? Why are you younger than me?"

Huo Ranyin: "Do you know that I am younger than you? I am 30 this year."

Ji Xun sneered unceremoniously: "30? 26. My captain, your age has been circulated around the team. Many people have guessed why you became the team leader at such a young age.

Versions. Do you want to know the most widely circulated version?"

Huo Ranyin: "I don't want to."

Ji Xun: "The director is your father."

Huo Ranyin pointed out: "The director and I have different surnames."

"Illegitimate child," Ji Xun said, "Eight o'clock bloody dramas always have this plot, right?"

Huo Ranyin said coolly: "I don't think you can die yet."

After saying that, he patted his clean knees, stood up straight, picked up the middle-aged scarred man next to him who had lost the power to resist, and left.

Ji Xun ignored Huo Ranyin. He continued to lie down and rest with his eyes closed. Before he had rested for two minutes, he heard familiar footsteps approaching from a distance. Before he could open his eyes, he was picked up from the ground.

, Huo Ranyin's hair brushed against his cheek, which made him feel a little itchy.

He tilted his head and breathed into the hair sticking to his face.

The little bit of fine hair is completely different from its owner. It has a deep spirit of obedience and rises and falls with his breath.

Huo Ran felt it and looked at him: "Itchy?"

Then he took his hand out and tucked his hair behind his ears.

Well--

Maybe it can't be said to be completely different, but the other party also has a little bit of submissive spirit deep in his heart.

After all, he was called the policeman, but he still came to help.

Ji Xun thought, he was stuffed into the passenger seat, and a middle-aged man with a scar was lying in the back car. Huo Ranyin moved to the driver's seat by himself, and when he started the car, he said: "You have a serious psychological problem, so I didn't go there."

See a doctor?”

"We meet three times a week, and we take medicine more than we eat." Ji Xun asked tiredly, "Is that enough?"

Huo Ranyin said nothing, stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove out smoothly.

After resting against the car window for a while, Ji Xun asked: "Do you have a pen and paper?"

Huo Ranyin looked forward, took his chin and tapped the glove box.

Ji Xun opened the box and placed all these daily supplies in neat order. Huo Ran packed things with obsessive-compulsive meticulousness. He took out a pen and paper and started sketching: "The people in the back compartment did not escape from the KTV.

The person who escaped was a yellow-haired man wearing a famous brand. I chased Huang-hair to where I was just now. This man suddenly came out and threatened me with a knife. I fought with him, and Huang-hair took this opportunity to escape."

"Is he the only one?"

"Um."

"How do you explain the cigarette ashes at the scene? The people in the back car didn't have cigarettes on them."

Ji asked for a moment: "What soot?"

"To the left, southeast, and three steps away from where you were fighting, there is soot that fell on the ground." Huo Ranyin's words were clear. "The amount of soot is not much. It should have burned two-thirds of a cigarette. Someone was standing there smoking."

I bought nearly a cigarette. The brand of the cigarette was Silver Double Lion."

"Holmes Huo, no respect, no respect, I have admired you for a long time." Ji Xun could only hold his fists in front of him as a salute.

"Do you think I'm kidding you?" Huo Ranyin chuckled softly, "Or do you think that you are the only smart person in the world, and the others are either deaf or blind, or both?"

He didn't wait for Ji Xun to speak and continued:

"Yin Shuangshi is a popular cigarette brand along the coast. Because it has a mellow taste and a nutty flavor when lit, this brand of cigarettes is very easy to identify."

"When I arrived at the scene, there was still a very obvious nutty smell in the alley. The smell of this level outside where the air convection is smooth is enough to prove that the other party just left the scene for less than a minute."

Huo Ran's voice turned cold.

"Ji Xun, you concealed a person who appeared at the scene and then left."

"Oh, Captain Huo's analysis makes sense." Ji Xun said, "Then Captain Huo wants to take me back to the bureau for a trial together. It just so happens that we can bring back two suspects in one car, which saves fuel."

"Don't you want to explain?" Huo Ranyin said.

"Is there any explanation for this? The logic is perfect. Let me give you some applause." Ji Xun patted the notebook twice casually and encouraged Quan, "But to correct you, I never think that I am powerful. Captain Huo had better not think that I am powerful.

Otherwise, you will be disappointed sooner or later——Well, that’s it.”

Ji Xun stopped drawing in his hands.

The rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper that filled the car finally stopped. The notebook was handed back to the glove box. Huo Ranyin took a look at the notebook before closing it. It was a full-length portrait of the suspect.

The drawings are very detailed, including the figure, facial features, clothing characteristics, hair color, and everything is drawn. There is also a brief analysis of the suspect by Ji Xun next to it, so you can make clues based on the pictures.

Huo Ranyin parked the car on the side of the road, opened the door and walked down.

Ji Xun slumped in the passenger seat and was too lazy to move. He didn't care what Huo Ranyin did.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that the other party came back with two drinks and handed one to him: "Here."

Ji Xun looked at it, twitched his eyebrows and then bounced them away: "What is this, a stick and a date?"

"I'm sorry." Huo Ranyin put the hot drink in the water cup holder in the car. "There are indeed doubts at the scene. I maintain my point of view. You told some lies in this matter. But equally, you also

Contributed a lot of clues - you are not a suspect."

"Thank you very much for Captain Huo's sharp eyes and sharp eyes."

"You're welcome, basic operation." Huo Ranyin restarted the car, "Don't wrongly accuse a good person, and don't let a bad person go."

“What to do if there is a mixture of good and bad?”

"Then we need to see how bad he is first." Huo Ranyin glanced at Ji Xun, "No matter how cunning the criminal is, even if he can lie for a while, his true colors will be revealed in time."

"Time can indeed determine a lot of things." Ji Xun agreed casually.

"It is not time that determines, but the people who work tirelessly to dig out the truth in time." Huo Ranyin's tone was cold.

"The above words have some meaning." Ji Xun said with great interest, "Captain Huo, from the first time you met me, you have had a preconceived view of me. Am I right?"

"That's right." Huo Ranyin admitted frankly.

"Then I might as well ask frankly and honestly: From the beginning to now, we have had a lot of contact, but you probably never thought that I was a good person - so why is your attitude towards me getting better and better?"

"Because I'm smart."

"...?"

Ji Xun thought he heard wrongly, but of course he heard right. Huo Ranyin still said in a calm tone:

"First, just because you are bad doesn't affect your ability to investigate cases; second, because you are bad, that's why I have to get close to you to find out how to catch you, and then..."

Huo Ran paused deliberately.

Ji Xun continued: "And then bring me to justice?"

"No." Huo Ranyin's answer was unexpected.

There was a red light ahead. He stopped, pulled the handbrake, and took control of the vehicle. He put his hands on the steering wheel, turned around and smiled at Ji Xun. The neon light on the roadside hit his face, and his eyes were filled with tears in the light.

Twinkling, adding charm to this smile:

"First threaten you, use you, drain your residual value, and then bring you to justice."

Ji Xun laughed softly.

He picked up the drink Huo Ranyin bought and took a sip. It was hot milk, and the mellow and sweet taste lingered on his taste buds, just like the conversation tonight.

It was only at this moment that he finally showed some interest in Huo Ranyin.

He leaned against the window for a while, catching a trace of sleepiness in the gentle vibration of the vehicle. That sleepiness was always like a naughty child, playing hide and seek with him every day: "Tell me about Tang Jinglong."

"The ID card and bank card that Tang Jinglong used when renting a house in Lizhu Community belonged to Tang Zhongde. According to the news from the Household Registration Office, Tang Zhongde is 63 years old and is a fellow villager of Tang Jinglong. He has never come out of the countryside all his life. Tang Jinglong probably used

Some money was used to buy Tang Zhongde’s ID card and bank card.”

Huo Ranyin began to narrate slowly.

"In this bank card, in addition to the rent payment in Lizhu Community, there is also a transaction that may interest you. During 2014 and 2015, he made two payments to Lu Danying's account, each of 150,000, totaling 30

Wan. Based on what you said last time, Tang Jinglong is the direct handler for Lu Danying to make money through surrogacy."

"Hmm." Ji Xun said casually, thinking about the blue and white thermos cup that Tang Jinglong and Lu Danying owned together. "Needless to say what I almost guessed. Is there anything else? It's impossible for Tang Jinglong's family to not find anything at all.

Bar."

"There is a hidden safe in Tang Jinglong's home," Huo Ranyin said.

"Hmm... I guess there won't be any direct and decisive evidence in the safe, otherwise Captain Huo wouldn't have bothered to come to me so late at night."

"business card."

"What?"

"The safe contains business cards."

"One?"

"Several boxes, each box placed neatly."

"Ha..." Ji Xun thought for a moment, "It's a bit unexpected, but not too unexpected. Tang Jinglong is a sales representative. For him, the most valuable thing is connections, so it's not surprising that he keeps his business cards well. Is there anything else?

"

"There is one more unique thing." Huo Ranyin said, "But our exchange is over."

"Don't be anxious, talk more, it will be a lot of meat." Ji Xun advised.

"Don't tell me unless you change your mind."

"Okay, I changed my mind." Ji Xun replied readily.

"..." Huo Ranyin looked at him in surprise, "Really changed, why?"

"There are many reasons. For example, the people's police are the most reliable; they are too lazy to spend energy on a lot of investigation work; if we cooperate, we will both benefit and suffer both disadvantages - these can all be reasons for cooperation. But is it the most real reason?" Ji Xun pursed his lips.

Milk, "I don't feel tense when I get along with you."

"In the past, I was a policeman. I really had to abide by the law and improve my moral quality, but I no longer want to be a policeman..."

"I am always considered by my friends to be a good, upright, just and correct person. I am also very distressed."

At this point in the conversation, the two of them had reached a basic agreement, so Huo Ranyin said about the "unique thing": "A finely crafted wooden carving craft boat. There is a string of custom-made copper coins strung with red rope on the boat, with an inscription on one side.

It is inscribed with 'The boat sails smoothly', and on one side it is engraved with 'The wind is calm and the waves are calm'."

Ji Xun thought for a moment and then said, "Hang the money."

"What do you mean?" Huo Ran frowned.

"At first glance, you can tell that Captain Huo is a staunch materialist. He never burns incense and worships Buddha." Ji Xun said with a smile, "Hanging money is money hung around the neck of the Bodhisattva. It is used to protect health and safety and make great profits.

, the custom of the southern coast. It is a boat and a boat, and it also prays for peace and wealth. The direction is quite obvious."

"Is the matter involving evil religion?"

"We don't have this direction for the time being." Ji Xun shrugged, "It's quite popular to hang money on the southern coast. I can only say that it's a bit strange that Tang Jinglong, a medical professional, managed to have a smooth sailing and a stable economic situation. It feels like he's doing it wrong."

We should have worked out the clues about Tang Jinglong while the iron was hot, but there was not enough distance left and the police station was already in sight.

Ji Xun stopped talking, and when the car stopped at the door of the police station, he said, "Let's break up here. I'll take a taxi home."

Huo Ranyin: "Wait for me for a few minutes and I will see you off later."

Ji Xun joked: "Captain Huo, open your eyes and take a look. The person standing in front of you is a twenty-nine-year-old adult man as tall as you, not nine years old. He is not afraid of the dark or ghosts. He doesn't need to cling to his father."

Arms walking at night to sleep."

"What you followed at night is poisonous. I don't want to wave goodbye now and seal off the scene tomorrow." Huo Ranyin said, "I will send anyone back in front of me."

Ji Xun thought for a moment and shrugged: "It's up to you."

Huo Ranyin led someone in, but Ji Xun did not follow him. He directly found a seat in the lobby of the police station and sat down. He took out his mobile phone and played a game. Within two minutes, an acquaintance came out of the corridor, Tan Mingjiu.

Ji Xuncai met this guy's eyes. This guy was like a sunflower seeing the sun, and it suddenly started to shine.

He came to Ji Xun with a bright face, sat down by himself without greeting him, and said mysteriously: "The captain and Captain Teng of the Public Security Brigade are talking."

Ji Xun: "Oh."

Tan Mingjiu: "Aren't you curious about what they said?"

Ji Xun asked what he meant: "What did they say?"

Tan Mingjiu's voice immediately dropped an octave: "It has something to do with the video recorded by a law enforcement recorder tonight."

Ji Xun's heart skipped a beat, knowing what Tan Mingjiu wanted to say.

He glanced at the other party sideways and did not answer.

Tan Mingjiu didn't need to answer the call, and happily answered it by himself: "There are buddies of my buddies in the team that went to Liangjingjing tonight, and we are all veterans. Everyone took a look at that little video."

He smiled, full of admiration, gave a thumbs up, and shook it at Ji Xun:

"High, really high, really high."

"Is it that high?" Ji Xun looked behind Tan Mingjiu.

"Yes! Hugging left and right, both men and women, this is not high enough, what is high enough?" Tan Mingjiu said.

"Where did you see me eating both men and women?"

Tan Mingjiu patted his thigh: "Hey, let's not talk about Qingqing, she has it in her belly. Just at night, you and the captain folded their legs side by side, it was as if they were glued into one with glue, you give me

You said you didn’t eat? I always thought the captain was an ice cube, but at critical moments, he can also be as enthusiastic as fire!"

"..."

Ji Xun patted Tan Mingjiu on the shoulder and pointed back.

Tan Mingjiu turned around in confusion: "What are you doing?"
