Ji Xun came back with a tray full of things. The night market was bustling. A string of dim light bulbs pulled out a hazy tent. Under the tent, several low-legged tables were scattered around, and small groups of friends gathered together.

Some were clapping their fists and shouting, while others were chatting and laughing in low voices. The high and low voices gathered together and became a good background sound to accompany the meal and wine.

But they didn't drink.

In addition to the full stack of skewers, the drinks placed on the inquiry tray were two bottles of soda and a bottle of mineral water.

Ji Xun took the phone and interrupted Yuan Yue and Huo Ran's bored and silent look at each other.

But he was not in a hurry to talk to Huo Ranyin. Instead, he fiddled with it, using the chopstick holder on the table as a support, and then placed the mobile phone on it. The chopstick holder and mobile phone were placed on the corner of the table; he abandoned the seat opposite Yuan Yue.

, sit next door, at the other corner of the table - where the phone's camera is exactly facing.

In this way, the three people formed a triangle, and Huo Ranyin could see both of them at the same time.

Ji Xun took two bottles of soda, one for Yuan Yue and one for himself. The last bottle of mineral water was there, so he picked it up, shook it, and handed it to Huo Ranyin:

"I know you're particular about your figure and don't drink carbonated drinks easily, so I brought it to you specially."

Huo Ranyin: "..."

Ji Xun picked up some of the kebabs on the tray and waved them in front of the phone screen: "Can the kebabs be eaten? Although you can't eat them now, it tastes good."

Huo Ranyin: "..."

Yuan Yue couldn't help but laugh, took Ji Xun's tray and stopped him from being weird: "Why are you bullying Captain Huo?"

Huo Ranyin didn't look moved no matter what Ji Xun said or did before. As soon as Yuan Yue said these words, Huo Ranyin's unmoving expression was broken and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

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

"Yes, you are very considerate." Yuan Yue usually did not argue with Ji Xun. He shared the food on the tray and asked strangely, "Don't you like spicy food? Why are you sprinkling so much chili powder?"

"I won't eat it." Ji Xun Youzai said, "Captain Huo will eat it."

Yuan Yue shook his head helplessly, picked up the skewers one by one without the chili powder, and put them on the inquiry plate. But the boss was obviously very wild when he sprinkled the chili powder, and there were too few skewers without the chili powder, so

He asked the boss to get a clean small brush, picked up some lightly stained skewers, brushed them, and handed them over.

Ji Xun praised: "Thank you, you are so considerate."

Huo Ranyin: "..."

Yuan Yue is very considerate.

Huo Ranyin still admits this. When this kind of thoughtfulness 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 bit subtle.

Ji Xun noticed.

He didn't even need to think about it to know what Huo Ranyin was thinking of.

"Why are you so polite?" Yuan Yue replied to Ji Xun. He brushed the chili powder and looked at the big "Old Man Wang" logo on the barbecue stall, and suddenly smiled, "This barbecue restaurant is the one we used to go to."

He tilted his head slightly and turned half of his face towards Ji Xun.

The dim light cast soft shadows on his face.

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

Well--

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

He saw a more obvious satisfaction and a more distinct strangeness on Huo Ranyin's face.

If I have to describe it, maybe because Huo Ran was holding sugar in one hand and vinegar in the other, he ate a mouthful of sugar and drank a mouthful of vinegar, which made his face look sweet but not sweet, sour but not sour.

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

But tonight, Huo Ranyin's performance was so hard to look away that he couldn't help but think from Huo Ranyin's point of view for a moment... Then he turned to Yuan Yue, looked at him with a strange look, and admitted

:

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

Huo Ranyin held the screen, and the camera clearly recorded every move of the two people opposite him. Out of rationality, he knew that he should hang up the video and give them some free space; but after a complicated inner decision, he

I didn't hang up the video and just watched the two of them kissing me.

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

Most of the time, his consideration is always the same.

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

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

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

"I believe we have a good understanding." Huo Ranyin's tone was filled with affectionate sarcasm. "When you want me to confirm, you can contact me by phone. When you want to send me midnight snacks, you can also contact me through my location."

Yo.

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

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

"No. What's wrong?" Ji asked.

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

"Okay." Ji Xun didn't agree, but Huo Ranyin agreed on his behalf and said, "I usually pick him up, but this time I'm going to trouble Captain Yuan."

"No trouble. I should have done all this, so I'm troubling you." Yuan Yue answered seriously.

Huo Ranyin pursed his lips slightly again, showing an expression of satisfaction that was half a smile but not a smile.

Ji Xun admired Yuan Yue very much after listening to it from beginning to end, and even wanted to give a coin to give a thumbs up.

What a powerful line, which most people can't say. It turns out that ignorance is the most invincible.

But Huo Ranyin is more fun.

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

Are you satisfied with what you see now?

Before Huo Ranyin could react, he touched the jealousy bag again and shook it in front of the screen. His tone was equally friendly: "Okay, I'll take Yuan Yue's car later and bring you a late-night snack. If you want

Vinegar packets? Is one packet enough? Do you want to eat it with a dip or drink it directly?"

"Hey, Captain Huo likes to dip vinegar into his skewers?" This way of eating is very unique, so Yuan Yue added to the topic.

"..." Huo Ran finally felt momentarily embarrassed as he reviewed the entire conversation.

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

"Hey, Captain Huo?" Huo Ran was suddenly interrupted by the video, and Yuan Yue was confused.

Ji Xun was really almost paralyzed with laughter.

He hooked Yuan Yue's shoulder, punched the table twice, then stood up, threw Yuan Yue's shoulder away, took back the phone, and said seriously: "I guess the signal there is not good."

After that, he made another video call and walked down the steps to Huo Ranyin.

The call was connected, but it was not video, it was voice.

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

Yuan Yue also asked: "Why no video?"

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

"Well, let's do the audio." Ji Xun slowly ate barbecue, "Anyway, we don't need videos to talk about serious things."

"I have a clue here." Huo Ran ignored the inquiry, so he could speak seriously, "In the case of the nursing home, my son who was suspected of committing a major crime forwarded a public account article on WeChat Moments called "Beware of 'Poisonous Milk Candy'

"Don't regret it for the rest of your life because of your carelessness", and the wife in the case that night also forwarded the same article."

"It sounds like the kind of subject that is most popular among friends." Ji Xun commented.

Huo Ran said in agreement: "Well, it's sensational. Although the title says caution, it actually states clearly how to obtain it. It also 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 looked through his memory and asked, "It couldn't be the kind of Moments content we saw on the phone of Xu Shuoguo, who was following Lian Panpan's mother and daughter that day, right? This

The writing styles are very similar."

"Unfortunately, you guessed it right." Huo Ranyin, "This customized article was spread in this way. The original source was the Fuxing Education group. Parents frequently forwarded it under the instructions of the teacher. The reason for forwarding was of course high-sounding.

——Understand the situation, be alert, pay attention to safety, and beware of unexpected events. The person who formulated the article and assigned the task of forwarding it, after investigation..."

"My name is Qian Shumao."

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

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

Yuan Yue, who had been listening silently, now spoke up: "Your surname is Qian? Besides Zhao Yuanliang, the other murderer I found in Yi'an County who killed Tang Zhixue was Qian Xingfa."

At this point in the conversation, the road to the truth has been cleared to the final part.

Huo Ran couldn't bear it any longer and made another video call.

Ji Xun took it casually and opened the soda at the same time.

The soda bubbled up and splashed onto the screen and his hands.

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

"..." Huo Ranyin.

Even though he knew that he could not influence the other party here, he still subconsciously stepped back some distance, as if this could keep him away from the other party's lips and tongue.

"Yes, he was born in 1966. If he were still alive now, he would have 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 really believe the news of Qian Xingfa's death?"

"It's such a coincidence." Yuan Yue said sternly, "In addition, after he died, I visited his hometown several times, and I didn't see his family being very sad. It doesn't feel right."

"I guess it feels right to feel wrong."

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

"Bang - hit the bullseye. He died twice, this time he really died. Check the DNA, Qian Shumao is Qian Xingfa."

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

Don't move your hands or feet!

Ji Xun blew his fingers and glanced provocatively.
