He didn't just talk casually, but expressed a central idea very seriously: he didn't want to pay too much attention to Fan Xing, and he didn't like Shang Yang to give Fan Xing more care.
Whose ex-girlfriend is this?
Shang Yang felt amused, with a childish sour-sweet taste, and finally said: "If you don't talk, don't talk."
He asked, "Do you have any arrangements for what to do after dinner?"
Jin Xu said indifferently: "There is no arrangement. What do you want to do?"
"I'm a foreigner, don't you plan a date? You're not sincere, how can people play with you like this? I won't come next time." Shang Yang pretended to be dissatisfied.
"I'm not a local either. I came from the countryside and I don't know much about the provincial capital." Jin Xu said with a bit of distress, "How should I plan a date? I'm very boring in private, and I told you about it when I was on a blind date. "
The "blind date" he was talking about was that time at Shang Yang's house, when the two confessed their income, savings, etc.
Jin Xu honestly admitted that he didn't know how to date, and said: "I don't know how to play, and I haven't played, so you take me."
Little did he know that Shang Yang would not either.
Speaking of which, both of them may be very boring in private.
The vast majority of people in this line of work, from the day they join the job, basically have nothing "in private", are on call 24 hours a day, and are inseparable from work and life.
In comparison, Shang Yang is a little bit better. He only travels for half a year, and spends the rest of the year in an office doing research. He can rest normally during holidays.
"I don't know how to play either." Shang Yang thought for a while and said, "Your Provincial Ph. D. is quite famous. Let me make an appointment."
He looked online, and found that there were no appointment numbers for provincial blogs during the three-day long holiday.
Jin Xu couldn't see it, so he said, "Do you think I am interested in cultural relics and history?"
Shang Yang also said, "Actually, I'm not interested either."
"Your unit is guarding the National Expo, and all the good things here have been sent for display, and there is nothing to see." Jin Xu also searched for interesting places nearby on the Internet, and said, "Would you like to go to the movies? Find a partner." Don’t they all like to go to the cinema, buy two tickets to the corner, and once the lights are turned off, you can do whatever you want.”
Shang Yang: "..."
Jin Xu took a look, the movie theater business was very good on New Year's Day, and there were not many tickets left, and the only remaining tickets were corner tickets.
Shang Yang also showed a lack of interest in the few films that were released.
"Don't read it. I'm talking casually," Jin Xu said with a righteous face, "Of course you can't mess around in public places, which violates public order and good customs."
This has to be changed to other matters. Shang Yang couldn’t decide on the next step for a long time, and Shang Yang was already annoyed. ?”
Jin Xu looked at his face, his Adam's apple moved, and he suggested earnestly, "Go back to the room and sleep with your arms in your arms."
Shang Yang: "..."
Jin Xu said: "Otherwise, if you tell me, I will listen to you."
Shang Yang couldn't think of anything to play with, so he said, "Sleeping in the room for three days? It's too much of a waste of time."
"What's wrong? What are we doing here?" Jin Xu said, "Don't we just want to waste these three days together?"
Shang Yang: "..."
He was enlightened.
He traveled thousands of miles, and Jin Xu took a difficult time off, what are they for? For dating, for falling in love, for sharing these three days of life with each other.
As for what to do together, does it matter? Being together is important.
"You're actually a little romantic." Shang Yang said.
"Are you complimenting me?" Jin Xu replied as if reciprocating, "You're actually a bit of a slut."
Shang Yang: "..."
Jin Xu said: "Last night..."
Shang Yang became alert: "I don't want to go back to my room to sleep!"
Today the weather is cold and sunny, with a light northerly wind.
The two men who didn't know what to do on a date, watched for a long time on Hornet's Nest, and decided to ride bicycles on the ancient city wall in the city center.
The circle of the city wall is nearly fifteen kilometers, and it is the cold winter of New Year's Day, so there are not many people. A few people come here to have a look, take a walk for a few steps, and almost no one rides.
The two rented bicycles and rode forward at a constant speed. The further they moved forward, the fewer people there were.
The two of them seemed to be the only ones on the empty city wall. At the foot of the city wall was a quiet moat, with remnants of lotus and fallen leaves, and silent weeping willows. Farther away, there is a lot of traffic, high-rise buildings, and a blue sky.
The wheels of the bicycle run over the blue bricks, and the shadow chases the shadow, finely carved by the sun.
Shang Yang feels that there is a very romantic and open atmosphere.
At this time, if the guy next to him said a few beautiful words of love... Baidu would be fine if he read a few poems.
Jin Xu seemed to have received his hint, and said, "I..."
Shang Yang looked at him with a smile, his heart was full of joy and anticipation.
Jin Xu said: "We are like a pair of idiots who come to ride bicycles on the city wall in winter."
Shang Yang: "..."
But Jin Xu is very handsome, wearing black clothes and black trousers, and a pair of black duty leather shoes. The sun is shining near noon, covering him. He is very handsome and manly. He rides a bicycle like a heavy motorcycle .
Shang Yang remembered Fan Xing's description of Jin Xu for a moment, and said, "You might as well be a dumb person."
Jin Xu: "?"
Shang Yang repeated Fan Xing's words, curious and insinuating, wanting to know the meaning of how the two of them "did a relationship" back then, and said: "Did you never think of trying to make her happy when you were dating your senior sister? "
Jin Xu said: "I thought about it, but it didn't work. I don't know her very well. I don't know how she can be happy."
Shang Yang: "..."
"I always thought she was very mysterious," Jin Xu said, "Maybe the necessary condition for being a goddess is to maintain a sense of mystery, even in front of her boyfriend. Only by being invisible can people always maintain interest."
Shang Yang: "..."
Shang Yang could be said to be shooting himself in the foot. The question is what he wants to ask himself, and he can't say it if he is not happy after hearing it.
Moreover, Fan Xing has indeed been a goddess-level existence from the past to the present.
Jin Xu turned the direction of the handlebars, got closer to Shang Yang, and purposely observed his face openly and aboveboard.
Shang Yang understood, this guy said that on purpose.
Sure enough, Jin Xu said, "I didn't mean that I was interested in Goddess Fan."
Shang Yang said with a straight face: "Deputy Bureau Jin, your desire to survive came a little late."
Jin Xu said, "Director Shang, you are the one who brought her up this time."
Shang Yang said: "Then let me interview you. At that time, you were chased by the goddess, didn't you feel happy at all?"
Jin Xu didn't beat around the bush, and said frankly: "If you say no, does anyone believe it?"
"The last time you met her on the plane, what was the first thought in your mind?" Shang Yang said.
"The first thought?" Jin Xu thought for a while before saying, "I didn't recognize it. I thought to myself, who is this girl? She's pretty."
Shang Yang stopped looking at the road. Anyway, there was no one else on the city wall, and the road was open. He squinted at Jin Xu and asked, "What happens after you recognize it?"
Jin Xu said: "After you recognize it, you will think more."
He didn't seem to notice Shang Yang's eyes, and said, "So it's her, it's amazing, I can meet my ex-girlfriend every time I fly, I'm too 6..."
Shang Yang heard that he was joking again, and turned his face away, ignoring him.
"Such a 6 thing, you have to hurry up and tell your wife when you get off the plane." Jin Xu said, "It would be great if my wife becomes jealous when she hears it."
As soon as he got off the plane, he called and reported to Shang Yang that he had met Fan Xing, and he also explained that he was upgraded and chatted with Fan Xing for a while.
This is not only to avoid suspicion, but also a little deliberately, to say to Shang Yang, get jealous, get jealous, are you jealous? Oh no, I'll say it again later.
The reason why I couldn't say it again later was because something happened to Fan Xing's family.
Shang Yang didn't expect his mental activities to be so interesting, so he took the tone of a leader and reprimanded him: "What's so great? Don't go too far. At that time, Gu Tianqi had already been arrested, and I was listening to Yuan Ding tell the whole story of his murder and destruction of corpses."
Jin Xu said: "Leader, at that time, Fan Xing didn't even think about it, how could I know such a big thing happened."
Shang Yang said: "You don't care, you only care whether I'm jealous or not, at that time, you..."
Suddenly, something flashed through his mind.
Creaking——Shang Yang braked the brakes, put one foot on the ground, and stopped the bicycle.
Jin Xu didn't know why, so he stayed in the car and turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shang Yang looked stunned, and said: "Senior Sister Fan Xing...should be the same as you, I didn't know that something happened 'at that time'."
Jin Xu frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Shang Yang said: "I... I don't know."
On the way to the northwest, he walked with Fan Xing, and Fan Xing mentioned to him that he met Jin Xu on the plane, saying that meeting Jin Xu was purely an accident, and he did not expect to meet again "at that time".
that time.
At that time, Shang Yang thought it was true that she was surprised to run into an old friend on the vehicle, so she didn't think much about it.
The reason is that from the time of the case until this morning when he talked about the matter with Jin Xu, he always thought that Fan Xing was the indirect victim kept in the dark by her cheating and murdering husband in the case of the female Internet celebrity being killed. The children were full of sympathy and never doubted her words or deeds.
After Jin Xu's awakening, Shang Yang realized that Fan Xing was most likely to have been aware of Gu Tianqi's cheating on the female Internet celebrity all along, and he had never thought about this possibility before.
This crucial point made many of Fan Xing's previous words and appearances less convincing and full of doubts.
When Shang Yang and several teachers visited her at her home, she told the teachers that if she could find out that Gu Tianqi was cheating earlier and find a suitable way to solve the problem, maybe she wouldn’t have gotten into it for nothing. human life.
whose life? Le Xiaowen. There is also Gu Tianqi who is likely to be prosecuted for the highest penalty.
The tears she shed in front of the teachers at that time were all fake.
"Maybe it's just that I'm thinking too much...I hope it's because I'm thinking too much." Shang Yang regained his composure and got on his bicycle again.
Full of suspicion, Jin Xu rode alongside him.
Shang Yang first uttered the slightly strange phrase "at that time" on the plane, and said, "Did I think too much? Maybe she was just talking, but I didn't expect it." After so many years, I will still meet you at an unsuspecting time."
Jin Xu said: "It's all possible. Is there anything else that makes you feel puzzled?"
Shang Yang gave a brief description of going to her home with the teachers.
Jin Xu's expression also turned serious, and he said, "In the news reports I've read, she was never mentioned in detail, and they were all mentioned briefly. Did you hear from the people at the criminal investigation side, how did she take notes?"
Shang Yang said: "She said...she didn't know anything."
Jin Xu's face changed instantly.
Shang Yang also immediately understood what was wrong.
In Jin Xu's perception, Fan Xing cares about face, and doesn't want to admit in front of relatives, friends and acquaintances that she knew her husband cheated a long time ago, and doesn't want people to know that she chooses to forbear in order to protect the family from "unbroken".
Jin Xu did not have a channel to know the details of the direct investigation of the case. He only thought that Fan Xing claimed to him, Shang Yang, and non-case investigators that he had no knowledge of her husband’s cheating. Jin Xu thought it was reasonable to lie in such a situation. Yes, is also acceptable.
But he thought that Fan Xing would tell the truth to the criminal investigators.
A former police officer, as a transcript of the interrogation of the suspect's family in a criminal case, lied.
"I'll ask Yuan Ding again, or ask the acquaintance in charge of the case directly." Shang Yang couldn't accept it, and said, "Maybe the information I heard earlier was wrong, and she may not have said so in the official transcript. of……"
Jin Xu said: "How is it possible? If she overturned her confession, she would have been suspected long ago."
Shang Yang: "..."
The two were silent for a while, and Jin Xu said, "What are you going to do?"
Shang Yang asked back: "What should I do?"
Jin Xu: "..."
"Actually..." Shang Yang said, "As you said before, she told this lie, which has no direct impact on the case itself. Gu Tianqi murdered and destroyed the corpse, with sufficient motives and a complete chain of evidence. He himself has pleaded guilty. Senior sister just Saving face...it's not so serious that it's unforgivable."
Jin Xu said: "Public Security Organs People's Police Disciplinary Regulations, No. 20, Four Articles, Participate, Cover Up, or Connive..."
"Stop." Shang Yang said, "Then what do you say? Should I report her? Just because she doesn't want to admit that she already knew that her husband was fooling around with other women?"
Jin Xu: "..."
Shang Yang said: "I'll talk to her later and ask her to make a new transcript. She said that this little lie has no real impact on the case, and at most she will be criticized and educated."
"Shang Yang," Jin Xu said, "I really didn't wrong you, your sympathy for her overwhelmed your reason."
Shang Yang braked the brakes, and Jin Xu then stopped.
The two stopped on the wall of the ancient city, the sun near noon, hanging brightly above their heads.
Shang Yang said, "I haven't."
Jin Xu said, "Then you really think that she only lied about this matter?"
Shang Yang quickly pinched the handlebar with his hand, feeling restless and uneasy.
"A police master, lying in a criminal case is just for the sake of face." Jin Xu said seriously, "Do you think it's reasonable?"
After a long silence, Shang Yang was defeated.
He knew in his heart that Jin Xu's guess was right, but...
"I suddenly felt," he said with an ugly smile to Jin Xu, "I should listen to you and not pay attention to the senior sister."
Jin Xu said: "You don't want to..."
He wanted to persuade Shang Yang to restrain his soft part properly.
"But I'm a policeman." Shang Yang squeezed the handlebar, exhaled, and said, "I said I didn't know what to do on a date, but now I know."
