did you lie today

A person?

Gu Chang'an's peripheral vision landed on the middle-aged woman by the brazier, her Adam's apple rolled up and down with difficulty, and at the same time, the pores all over her body exploded.

All the paper money in the basket was thrown into the brazier at some point, and suddenly there was a gust of wind, and the flames shot up.

Xiaomei shook her hands to shake off the paper money that was blown on her body by the wind. She stared at the strange young man in front of her, her face turning green and then pale: "Did you burn the paper money?"

Gu Changan's complexion was also very bad. He thought the man was a ghost, but he didn't expect the woman to be human, so he even chatted with him a few words.

Thinking of this, Gu Changan went to see the middle-aged woman again, and found that she was still squatting by the brazier with her husband, muttering over and over again, "Old He, you and Mom are gone, how can I live alone..."

The voice was bitter and painful, and it made one's skin crawl when one heard it. Gu Chang'an shivered again, his pale face turning blue.

The ashes in the brazier were blown up and scraped everywhere. Xiaomei grabbed the young man's arm and pinched her fingernails stained with pink nail polish: "I'm asking you, is it you?!"

Gu Changan looked innocent: "No."

He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "Ma'am, when I passed here, the paper money was already on fire."

"Impossible!" Xiaomei insisted, panting quickly, screaming tremblingly: "There is only you here, who is not you?"

Gu Changan squinted his eyes behind the lenses. This woman looked a lot like an old lady, especially her eyebrows and eyes. There was also a mole between her eyebrows, which was in the same position.

It's just that she is in her early thirties, her hair is highlighted with a strand of pink, she is wearing a leather jacket, tight shorts, black boots, two rows of earrings on her ears, and one on her nose, she looks full of rebellious self The breath of life, without the kindness and friendliness of the old lady.

and……

This woman is suspicious, her mood swings are different from ordinary people, her face is full of acne, and she may not be able to resist pinching it with tweezers when she sees it. There is a lot of oil on her face, which can be scraped off for cooking. A smell, can't tell what it is.

Gu Changan shrugged: "I don't know this family well, so there's no need to lie."

Xiaomei asked the bottom line: "Then why are you here?"

Gu Changan said with a friendly attitude: "I happened to pass by and saw paper money burning in the brazier, and there was no one around. I was worried about a fire, so I came over to have a look."

At this moment, the squatting middle-aged couple suddenly stood up, turned around and looked at Gu Changan with empty eyes, he gasped.

Xiaomei didn't respond.

Gu Chang'an swallowed his saliva, and showed her the upper and lower pockets: "I don't have a lighter with me, so I can't light those paper money. I think it must be a prank by passers-by."

Xiaomei lowered her eyelids after a while, pinned her messy hair behind her ears, and said in a stiff tone, "I'm sorry."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Chang'an said understandingly, "When a loved one passes away, it is inevitable to lose control of your emotions. People who die cannot be brought back to life. My condolences."

Xiaomei was about to speak when the cell phone in her pocket rang. When she took it out to look at the caller ID, the expression on her face changed, and she hung up the phone without saying a word.

"Sir, can you go?"

Gu Chang'an cooperatively raised his feet and walked towards the direction of the parking lot. The brazier and paper money should have been prepared by this woman, and she left temporarily only after forgetting something.

After walking a few steps, Gu Changan turned his head and saw the young woman put the black bag in her hand on the ground, and took out something from it—it was a photo of a deceased person.

It turned out that she was going back to get the photo of her sister-in-law.

The two posthumous photos are placed side by side, and the two people in the posthumous photo are standing next to each other. This scene is weird and frightening.

Gu Changan's scalp was a little numb, he put on a mask, and left here quickly.

When he got home, Gu Changan received a call from Ji Qing and learned that the middle-aged couple had a car accident more than 20 minutes ago. The police had just rushed over, and news came from the scene that the man died on the spot and the woman was found. Sometimes still breathing.

In other words, what Gu Changan saw was the soul of that middle-aged woman.

The car accident happened not long ago, how did Xiaomei know?He was so active in coming over to burn the paper, and couldn't wait to send his brother and sister-in-law to reincarnation, so that he didn't check carefully, not knowing that his sister-in-law was not dead.

In addition to guilty conscience, panic, and fear, Xiaomei also has other emotions, such as self-blame.

Gu Chang'an gave the motorcycle to Wu Dabing and asked him to push it into the house: "Qi team, can anyone rescue him?"

"It's hard to say." Ji Qing's tone was solemn, "It depends on her luck."

Gu Changan rubbed his feet together, took off one shoe, and rubbed the other: "Xiaomei was interrogated overnight."

Ji Qing said: "The trial has passed."

"Try again." Gu Changan said, "You buy a goldfish before the trial, put it in a small glass fish tank like that, and put it in the interrogation room."

Ji Qing suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked uncertainly, "A fish tank?"

Gu Changan rubbed off the other shoe, and walked to his room with a cotton mop. He did not give an answer: "Ji team, you do as I say, if you want the case to make progress quickly, finish the trial as soon as possible. Give it to me so I can give you clues.

Ji Qing in the hospital called the team members after answering the phone, and ordered two things, first, to interrogate the deceased's daughter Xiaomei, and second, to buy goldfish.

Wang Mingming bought the goldfish and went back to the game, he couldn't hold back anymore: "Qi team, what is the purpose of buying this thing? It's so strange, I am, no, Xiao Liu is very puzzled."

The intern Liu Yue next to him: "..."

Team Season took away the fish tank: "If you want to buy it, buy it. Where did all this nonsense come from?"

Watching Team Ji enter the interrogation room, Wang Mingming was dumbfounded: "Xiao Liu, does Team Ji seem to be bewitched by beauty and bewitched by ghosts?"

Liu Yue wiped his neck at him.

"The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible. Maybe it's Gu Changan's idea. He gives me the feeling that it's unpredictable. I don't know how many cards there are. He looks very awesome."

Wang Mingming said to himself: "Forget it, I'd better go smoke a cigarette and calm down."

For the first time, a small fish tank appeared in the interrogation room, which unsurprisingly caused a commotion in the Public Security Bureau. Everyone on duty was discussing whether the season team was under too much pressure and had a mental disorder, but it didn't look like it, evil.

Ji Qing ignored the curiosity and speculation of her colleagues, she didn't delay, and took the fish tank to see Gu Chang'an after the interrogation.

It's almost eleven o'clock now, and the cold night is long.

Gu Changan sat cross-legged under the blanket and ate yogurt, just after licking the lid, he signaled Ji Qing to put the fish tank on the table: "Ji team, relax, don't be so tense."

Ji Qing pulled a chair and sat over, waiting to see how much useful information Gu Changan could bring her.

Gu Changan took a mouthful of yogurt to eat, he didn't speak, neither did Ji Qing, the room was very quiet, so when his voice sounded, it was like a stone thrown into a lake, and the calm lake instantly stirred up circles of ripples .

"The night the deceased was murdered, Xiaomei was not with her friends, and the alibi is false."

Ji Qing suddenly raised his eyes: "Are you sure?"

Gu Changan used a plastic spoon to flick the inside of the yogurt and found a blueberry fruit: "Sure."

Ji Qing didn't ask him how he knew, but only cared if there was any other information.

Gu Changan smiled: "She has been lying."

Always?Ji Qing's pupils shrunk, which meant that their two interrogations failed to produce anything of real value, and they failed.

"The relationship between that witness and her seems ordinary, not to the extent that she can give false testimony in front of the police for her."

Gu Changan said while eating yogurt, "I saw her on the way back tonight."

Ji Qing didn't interrupt.

"At that time, she was going to burn paper money for her brother and sister-in-law..."

Gu Changan spoke in an unhurried manner, while Ji Qing listened without saying a word, occasionally tapping his fingers a few times.

"I think she has a smell, but I can't figure out what it is," Gu Changan said with a smile, "Just 5 minutes before you came, I searched the Internet and thought of a possibility."

Ji Qing quickly sorted out all the information she got, and asked a timely question: "What?"

Gu Changan said: "It's the smell of drugs, she takes drugs."

Ji Qing's Liu Yemei frowned suddenly: "Drug addict?"

So far, they haven't checked this thread, mainly because there are no relevant clues.

Gu Changan said indifferently: "The friend who gave the false testimony should be like her, touching that thing all the time. In order to protect himself, he had to give her a false testimony."

Ji Qing fell into deep thought.

Gu Changan said: "You must have been to her house too, did you not notice if there are any empty bottles and straws in her house?"

Ji Qing asked Gu Changan if he minded her smoking.

Gu Changan let her do whatever she wanted.

Ji Qing lit a cigarette and took a puff: "Drug addicts have a common problem. They are very suspicious. They are worried that they will be killed, so they will hide those things very carefully."

"You think too simply." Gu Chang'an shook his head with a smile, "People are not machines, and there will always be carelessness. No matter how careful the mind is, there is a certain chance of making mistakes. Someone has accidents one after another, a woman who is easily affected by emotions."

Ji Qing was silent for a moment: "If a child wants to kill his own mother, he must have an abnormal motive for killing."

Gu Changan said slowly, "I didn't say she was the murderer."

Ji Qing looked up at the young man.

Every fish in this world is Gu Changan's soldier, ready to be used by him at any time. Although the police have rich experience in handling cases and are good at skills, they are still ordinary people in the final analysis.

If the technical personnel did not find any valuable clues at the scene of the crime because of the criminal's sophisticated and perfect modus operandi, or because of the weather, and the corpse did not tell them anything, and the suspect was still unable to be delineated, then the subsequent investigation direction would only be It can be concluded by intuition that if it is wrong, all manpower and material resources will be useless.

That's why there are cold cases.

Looking at the goldfish, Ji Qing felt an indescribable strange feeling, as if the fish's eyes were looking straight at her, and would open its mouth to spit out an earth-shattering human word at any time.

She tapped on her leg with her fingers, and slowly exhaled the smoke: "Is this fish tank here for you?"

Gu Changan waved his hand: "You take it back, and when the deceased's daughter-in-law is rescued, put it in her ward."

Ji Qing stood up and looked at the young man with clear inquiry.

There are all kinds of wonders in the world, so there will naturally be capable people and strange people, such people are separated from natural science.

Gu Chang'an put on a half smile: "Ji team, we have something to say first, don't ask and just listen, why, you don't want to break the contract now, do you?"

"You're overthinking." The inquiry in Ji Qing's eyes disappeared, and he scratched his neat short hair, "If the clues are correct, the money will be credited to your account after the case is closed."

Gu Changan liked to listen to the second half of the sentence, so he raised his chin: "Go slowly."

At midnight, the wall clock on the wall rang "dang dang dang", and Lu Cheng came back.

Gu Changan poked his head out of the bed when he heard the noise in the courtyard, and shouted outside: "Lu Cheng."

No response.

Gu Changan struggled for less than two seconds between "calling" or "directly looking for it", and decisively chose the former. He reached the mobile phone and called Lu Cheng: "Come to my room."

Lu Cheng's voice was hoarse and exhausted: "I'm tired, so I won't go."

Hang up after speaking.

Gu Changan: "..."

When Lu Cheng came out of the shower, there was someone else in the room, he glanced at it lightly, and continued to wipe his hair with his hands.

Gu Changan sniffed his nose: "Are you injured?"

Lu Cheng threw the wet towel on the back of the chair, took the hair dryer in the drawer and turned his back to blow dry his hair, is it a dog?The nose is so good.

Gu Chang'an walked up to Lu Cheng, but Lu Cheng ignored him.

The whirring sound disappeared, and Gu Changan unplugged the hair dryer. He asked gloomyly, "What did you smear on my eyelids in the supermarket?"

Lu Cheng pulled the plug of the hair dryer away from the young man's hand: "It's very late, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Gu Changan pulled out the plug again.

Lu Cheng raised his eyes, his eyes were cold and full of anger: "Can't you understand people's words?"

Gu Changan pulled his lips: "I have the same doubts about you."

Lu Cheng threw the hair dryer on the table, his wet hair was messy on his forehead, his handsome eyebrows were covered by shadows, and there was a bit of chilling coldness: "Gu Chang'an, just because I'm interested in you, you just want to see me at once." Again, play wild with me again and again."

Gu Changan raised his eyebrows: "Everyone, each other."

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and warned in a cold voice: "There must be a limit in everything, I advise you not to challenge my bottom line, otherwise you cannot afford the consequences."

Gu Changan smiled: "This is exactly what I want to tell you."

"..."

Atmospheric sword｜draw｜crossbow｜stretch.

The sound of Wu's serious illness came from outside the door. Along with the knock on the door, he opened the door and came in. He saw Lu Cheng blowing his hair, and Gu Chang'an was squatting in the corner looking at some pots of green radishes.

Wu Dabing opened his mouth: "Are you all okay?"

"What can happen?"

Gu Changan looked at the long johns that Wu Dabing was wearing, he was panting heavily, and his forehead was sweaty, obviously he had slept soundly, so he suddenly got up from the bed and ran all the way over.

He and Lu Cheng neither quarreled nor fought, but just talked about it, how much noise could there be?

Wu Dabing has a strong physique, and with so little clothes, he still shivered in the cold. He rubbed his arms: "Chang'an, don't you go to sleep?"

"Wait a minute." Gu Changan was really sleepy, his eyelids were clenched, he resisted the urge to yawn, "I'll talk to Lu Cheng about something."

Wu was seriously ill and stopped talking, he sneezed: "Then Chang'an, Mr. Lu, you all go to bed early."

Lu Cheng nodded as a response.

As soon as Wu's illness left, Gu Chang'an's breath became cold. He straightened up and looked at the man with his arms folded: "I've given you time, have you organized your words yet?"

Lu Cheng spat out three words: "Cow's tears."

Gu Changan frowned: "What?"

Lu Cheng glanced at him: "Are those two ears of yours a decoration?"

Gu Changan paused every word: "I'm asking you, what are cow's tears."

"Cow's tears are cow's tears." The corners of Lu Cheng's lips twitched contemptuously, "The comprehension ability is so rubbish, did you really go to school?"

"..."

Gu Changan had blue veins popping up on his forehead, but he had a smile on his face: "I went to school, and I got a diploma randomly, so I can just make do with it, how can it compare with you."

Lu Cheng suddenly approached with a big stride.

Gu Changan didn't have a mouse to escape like seeing a mouse, but his back was obviously stiff: "What are you doing so close?"

Lu Cheng answered irrelevantly: "My servant brought you the tears of the cow today. I tried it on you. Judging by your reaction, it should be very effective."

Gu Changan squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "Try it? You fucking..."

The conversation stopped abruptly.

Lu Cheng stopped when he was an inch away from the young man, breathing his breath, it was much cleaner than the dirty words coming out of his mouth, and he was pretty, why did he like to swear so much?I owe a lesson, it's better when I don't speak, like a fairy in a painting.

Before Gu Changan made a move, Lu Cheng had already retreated.

This episode ended because of a small bottle of Niu Tear given by Lu Cheng, and Gu Changan asked if he could see everything.

Lu Cheng said no, Niu Tear is only the most basic, and he can see some ghosts with deep resentment.

He reminded the ungrateful little thing: "You have gained something tonight, shouldn't you say thank you to me?"

Gu Changan's thoughts gathered, and he curled up his lips with a sincere look: "I should say thank you, I will remember your kindness, and I will repay you when I have a chance in the future."

Lu Cheng looked at the young man leisurely, feeling that he was an onion, and he was the one who peeled the onion. After peeling off a layer, he found that there was still only deceit, cunning and hypocrisy inside, and he had to peel off layer by layer slowly.

Don't rush, be patient.

Gu Changan returned to his room with the bottle in his arms, and when he passed by Wu's room, his steps paused. When he came back, he checked that there was no such thing in the old house.

strangeness……

Gu Changan didn't go fishing again for the next few days, and Ji Qing didn't look for him either.

On the fifth day, Ji Qing came to Gu Chang'an with a goldfish bowl, saying that the deceased's daughter-in-law had been rescued, and they also asked some appropriate questions.

Gu Chang'an didn't hear the lie in Jinyu's belly, the woman didn't lie, what she said was true, he told the result to Ji Qing, and the other party knew which line to follow to investigate.

A few days later, Gu Changan received a text message notifying him that Kali had gained a considerable amount of income, and only then did he know that the case was solved.

He sent a text message to Ji Qing, but before he sent it, the other party called, and he didn't pretend to be with him, and said bluntly: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation next time."

"Of course." Gu Changan smiled like a beckoning cat.

Gu Chang'an learned about the case through Ji Qing. The old lady was indeed not killed by Xiaomei, including her brother, but they all died because of her.

There is a tea house on Xiangyuan Road, there is another universe in that place, which is specially provided for people who use ice drugs. Xiaomei is one of them. She used to go there in the early years, and the number of times she went there was reduced in a few years, but she changed after her work was not satisfactory. Back to the previous depravity and rot.

Once Xiaomei got high after taking drugs, and accidentally revealed to someone that she had a baby at home, left by her ancestors, and said that her mother died, and the baby was left to her, and she would post it when the time came.

As the old saying goes, don't reveal your wealth, you have to make a fortune in silence. Xiaomei's talkativeness was overheard by those who cared, which brought disaster to the family.

That night, two people teamed up to sneak into the old grandma's house, intending to steal things without hurting anyone, but they didn't expect that the old grandma was so old and she didn't sleep deeply. She woke up before they woke up.

Seeing that their behavior was exposed, the two knocked out the old woman and threw her outside, showing signs of accidental death.

On the night when the old mother died, Xiaomei came back to look for things. She only found the clothes and shoes that she and her brother wore when they were young in the red leather box that the old mother valued when she was alive. They were nothing valuable. She suspected that her brother had taken them away. , I went to his house and took the opportunity to search, but I still couldn't find it.

Xiaomei's brother and sister-in-law figured out something was wrong on the way back from dinner. Her brother called her, and a fierce dispute broke out, which distracted her brother, and the car hit the guardrail and fell down the mountain.

On the night the grandmother was murdered, Xiaomei took drugs under the teahouse and lied that she didn't want to be sent to a drug rehabilitation center.

As for Xiaomei who was so anxious to burn paper for her brother and sister-in-law, it was because she guessed from the loud noise at the end of the phone call that they both had an accident. Before she could recover, she saw her brother standing in front of her covered in blood. .

As a result, Xiaomei lost her mind under extreme fear. She thought that her brothers and sisters-in-law were all dead, so she hurriedly bought paper money to prepare for the photos, and tried to apologize to them and told them not to come to her.

Xiaomei was not a murderer, but she killed two close relatives.

There is nothing passed down from the ancestors, that is, the old grandma knows that she will not live for a few years, and she wants her daughter who does not come back all year round to come back often to see her, which is very sad.

Gu Changan earned the first extra money in his life, and had the illusion of getting rich overnight. He planned to invite Wu Dabing Lucheng to eat hot pot at night. When Lichun came and there were more people, he would eat at home.

An hour before departure, a very fashionable aunt came to the door with her daughter who had returned to China. It seemed that she was here for Gu Changan and wanted to become a family with him.

Gu Changan was sweeping the floor in the courtyard, it was rare for him to be diligent.

On the sidelines, the aunt was blowing up Gu Changan's hype, without repeating the same pattern, while her daughter kept smiling awkwardly and impolitely.

Lu Cheng was watching the fun in the room, and Wu came over from a serious illness, so he watched it with him.

Wu Dabing watched it for a while, and said firmly: "Chang'an doesn't like her like that."

Lu Cheng unscrewed the cap of the small wine bottle and took a sip of wine: "He doesn't like anyone, he only likes himself."

Wu Dabing shook his head: "He likes Mr. Lu."

Lu Cheng seemed to hear a big joke, with a strange expression: "Like me?"

Wu Dabing nodded, and said seriously: "Few people can care about Chang'an, but he cares about Mr. Lu very much."

Lu Cheng paused for a while to cover the wine bottle, and asked questioningly: "Really?"

"Maybe Chang'an hasn't discovered it yet." Wu Dabing scratched his forehead, "It's also possible that he has discovered it long ago, but he just doesn't want to admit that Chang'an is like a child sometimes."

Lu Cheng watched the young man in the courtyard swing the big broom, scaring the chickens and ducks to run around. His facial muscles twitched, not sometimes, but all the time.

The author has something to say: Gu Chang'an: I heard that everyone wants to read emotional interactions, but also tribal ones. It's really too difficult. Let me read dozens of novels first.
