Chapter 7: The Hidden Danger (I)
"I said that the place where you live is not very clean, there are bad things, and you are scared ...... sick. He was really superstitious about this, gave us two days off, and asked me to take a good look at your ...... on behalf of the law firm. ”
Seeing that the more Luo Li said, the more outrageous it became, Ji Si'an couldn't help but have a headache, this guy really had trouble for her. It's time to talk again when you go to work on Monday.......
After talking to Luo Li on the phone, Ji Si'an felt more tired, but thinking that Luo Li would come to her house tomorrow, she had to get up and clean up.
In fact, Ji Si'an's things are very tidy, but because she lives in an old semi-basement, the dim light, the yellow-brown walls, the mildew that appears from time to time, and the dark brown old tile floor, make the whole room look old and dirt......y. She sighed and went to the bathroom, where the old pipes were covered with rust and the smell of the sewers added a rotten smell to the house.
She gasped and wiped the barely visible dust in the room, but to no avail, it was really rotten wood that could not be carved. Ji Si'an threw the rag in his hand into the basin, and he lay on his back on the bed and looked at the ceiling lamp covered with small insect corpses on the roof in a daze.
After realizing that she could not change this, she was in a little better spirits, and saw that it was noon, because she was not ready to take leave, there was no food at home, so she had to go out to have a meal, and buy some fruits and vegetables by the way.
The bright sun shone with colorful light, gorgeous and warm, Ji Si'an stood in the sun, and after feeling the warm light gradually expel the mildew on her body, she took a step and walked slowly outside the community.
Simple fast-food restaurants stand on the west side of the community, and deafening pop songs constantly urge diners. Ji Si'an couldn't help frowning, she hated this kind of noise, just as she didn't like the burgers here. But there was no way, it was the nearest restaurant in the neighborhood, and the burger was the only food she could barely accept here.
In order to live, we always have to do something we don't like, Ji Si'an comforted himself and walked towards the fast food restaurant. When she was about to reach the door, the door suddenly opened, and several dirty children screamed and rushed out of the store, apparently knocking her down. Ji Si'an flashed to the side by surprise, leaving her with only flying smoke and a faint sour smell.
"Is the girl alright?" The proprietress stepped forward and asked.
Ji Si'an shook his head and signaled that he was fine.
"These melon babies, come here every day to steal sauce to eat, adults don't care, they will die sooner or later!" The proprietress cursed fiercely, and the plain goose egg face showed a bit of anger, destroying the original beauty.
Ji Si'an had seen her when she first moved here to rent, and at that time, she had a light eyebrow and a plain lips with a little Jiangnan girl's charm. However, in just half a year, there were more fireworks, and his eyes became thin and his lips became thin.
"What would you like to eat?" The hostess's questioning pulls her back to reality.
"A burger, with a beef patty, no need to put sauce, thank you." Ji Si'an said.
Hearing her order, the proprietress instantly lowered her eyes, "Okay, wait a minute."
Don't even bother to ask yourself about drinks? Forget it, I don't drink it anyway. Ji Si'an came to the counter silently, picked up the food and left in a hurry.
Because of the fact that the cold had not yet recovered, she felt a little tired, so she bought some fruits and vegetables and hurried to the rented place. The extra iron sign at the entrance of the community made her steps pause, "She's quite serious", Ji Si'an stopped in front of the iron plate.
The iron plate was printed with Yuan Mu's immature but serious face, and the dark blue police uniform made her look tougher. Ji Si'an leaned closer and looked at Yuan Mu's detailed information, it was not bad for her to be a community policeman, so thinking about it, a smile unconsciously climbed up the corner of her mouth.
Ji Si'an took out his mobile phone to take a photo of Yuan Mu, and after returning to the rented place, he still looked at it from time to time. Listening to the accent, she is a local of Chenghuang, why did she come to such a remote place to be a policeman? Is her home nearby?
I don't know why Ji Si'an is curious about Yuan Mu, or because she is the only one who has seen her embarrassment and embarrassment and doesn't care, or she is the only one who makes her feel a little trusted.
After barely satisfying herself with a hamburger, Ji Si'an began to worry about the dilapidated room again, and after she tried in vain to fight with mold for a long time to no avail, she finally gave up completely. This is a dilapidated house...... She complained, but in her heart she knew that this was the best she could find so far.
She took out the incense and lit it, taking a small sip of hot water in the faint woody scent. The warm liquid drove away the cold in the body and calmed the slightly depressed mood. She took out the file and continued to study the case at hand, and before she knew it, it was late at night.
Ji Si'an still woke up in a nightmare in the morning, she pinned her cold hair behind her ears, she was very disappointed, the dream still did not progress, and even for so many years, she couldn't see her mother's face clearly, it was always like a faint mist.
The April morning light lit up her room somewhat coldly, and Ji Si'an rubbed her arms and turned on the air conditioner. Although the four seasons are distinct, the proportion of spring and autumn is significantly shorter, and it is already mid-April, and it is still difficult to hide the chill inside.
The hot air of the air conditioner quickly expelled the cold air in the house, and Ji Si'an picked up the little bee next to the pillow and played with it in her hand, such a rare quiet time made her unbearable to break it. After some time, she was startled by a knock on the door.
"Xiao An, it's me, Lily, I've come to see you." A crisp female voice sounded outside the door.
So early, in the louder and louder knocks on the door, Ji Si'an hurriedly packed up the quilt, quickly changed his clothes, and finally put Luo Li in before the door was knocked on.
"What are you doing? So abrasive. As soon as Luo Li entered the room, her eyes looked around nimbly.
The panic just now made Ji Si'an temporarily forget the embarrassment of his place of residence. "I just woke up, I didn't expect you to arrive so early." She muttered.
Lori's eyes sparkled as she shuttled between the bed and the closet. When Ji Si'an handed Luo Li water, he found that she was wrong. "What are you looking at?"
Lori smirked and sat down. "You live alone?"
"Well, a person." Ji Si'an said.
Luo Li didn't speak, her eyes blinked a few times, and she pointed at Ji Si'an's neck, looking clear.
Ji Si'an subconsciously tightened his clothes, where there were bruises and wounds left the night before. An indescribable sense of humiliation swept through his body, and the scene of that night came back to mind. Ji Si'an trembled uncontrollably.
Lori was taken aback by her reaction. "Xiao An, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Si'an shook his head and took a sip of hot water before he barely calmed down. "Nothing." She didn't want Luo Li to know what happened the night before, on the one hand, she didn't want her to see her predicament, and on the other hand, Luo Li was not strict in her mouth, and generally if she knew, it was equivalent to the whole company knowing.
"I accidentally fell. The light in the hallway broke, and I fell off it with one foot in the air. Ji Si'an made up lame panic words.
Although Luo Li didn't believe her words, she didn't want to ask any more questions when she looked at her, so she only nodded perfunctorily.
Ji Si'an knew that Luo Li didn't believe it, but she was still relieved that she didn't ask anymore.
