When it was close to summer, the days were already very long, and Ji Si'an wanted to rush home at the last glow of the sunset. Yuan Mu insisted on sending her: "It's not safe for you to be a girl, anyway, I'm going to patrol and just drop you off." ”

"It's like you're not a girl." Ji Si'an was in a good mood.

"If you work as a police officer, you don't have a gender." It's that nice male voice.

Yuan Mu pointed to the tall but bookish handsome boy behind him and said, "He is my partner Li Muzi."

Li Muzi? Yuan Mu? Their names have some fate. Ji Si'an secretly slandered in his heart.

"Our names are too family-like, so the director put us in a group." Yuan Mu seemed to have guessed what Ji Si was thinking.

Ji Si'an smiled awkwardly, not daring to look at the male officer's expression.

"If you are poor, you will drive."

Yuan Mu stuck out his tongue and walked towards the police car with Ji Si'an. Still smelling bad, dirty seats, Yuan Mu looked at Ji Si'an's light-colored clothes, and said with some regret: "It seems that you have to wash your clothes again when you go back."

Ji Si'an didn't care, in her opinion, the sense of security brought by the police car trumped everything else.

"Xiao An will wait for me for a while, and I'll go post a reminder and come back." The police car was parked near the bungalow.

Ji Si'an looked at Yuan Muyuan's back, and said with some worry: "Is she alone?" It's getting dark."

Li Muzi has long been accustomed to such things. "This is her jurisdiction, and besides, I'm still here, so there's nothing to fear."

"Dad, my sister is bad, she went to the subway to play again, and she didn't take me with her." A childish child's voice sounded next to the police car.

Ji Si'an turned his head slightly, and saw the boy, still in the same clean clothes, the difference was that he was holding a string of rock sugar gourds in his hand, riding on the shoulders of a middle-aged man.

"Leave her alone. She is a wild girl, our Tianlong is different, our Tianlong will study and become a big man in the future. The man struggled to carry the child, stopping and straightening up after a few steps.

"Dad, why are you so slow, I'm hungry." The boy was unhappy with his stop-and-go.

"I know, I know, what's the hurry, isn't it eating in my mouth." The man's neck was red, but his tone of voice was doting with an unmistakable pampering.

"What do you think now? If your belly is ...... better, I think you are ...... hungry. Their conversation grew quieter.

"Look at it, so fascinating." At this time, Yuan Mu had already gotten into the police car.

Ji Si'an came back to his senses, "It's nothing, it's just ...... Seeing that the child is already so old, he still has to carry the ...... like this".

Yuan Mu looked at Ji Si'an's angle and recognized the man at a glance. "He is Li Guangcai, a native of W Province, and he is very patriarchal. The boy is 6 years old this year and his name is Li Tianlong. He also has a daughter, 9 years old named Li Zhaodi. ”

"Zhao Di, as soon as you hear this name, you know what's going on. It's been so old, and it's still so patriarchal. Li Muzi answered.

"There are a lot of things like this. The people who live here have a little bit of this kind of thinking. I often come here to keep an eye on the population. Yuan Mu said.

"You're worried a little too much, are you afraid that they will give birth to too many children, or are you afraid that they will abandon their children?" Li Muzi said.

"I'm afraid they're drowning girls for boys." Yuan Mu said softly.

"So serious?" Li Muzi was obviously also frightened by Yuan Mu's words.

"Lie to you." Yuan Mu lowered his head and smiled.

Li Muzi breathed a sigh of relief: "I said that I haven't seen such a case in my years here." You're getting worse and worse. ”

Ji Si'an listened to their conversation, silently observed Yuan Mu's expression, and intuitively told her that Yuan Mu was panicking. But Ji Si'an is not a troubled person, since Yuan Mu is reluctant to say, she naturally won't ask.

But one afternoon not long after, the secret gradually appeared to her in a sad way.

It was a rare day for Ji Si'an to rest, she sat in her "safe" house, thinking about earning more money and changing to a house with a balcony. When Yuan Mu called, Ji Si'an was still a little excited, she thought that there was news about her mother's case.

"Xiao An, can you do me a favor?" Yuan Mu said hesitantly on the phone.

Because of the previous request for her errands, Ji Si'an agreed without asking anything. "Absolutely. What do I need to do? ”

Yuan Mu on the other end of the phone was obviously relieved: "Do you remember Zhao Di?" Something happened to her family, you can help me take care of her for the time being, and I'll pick her up tomorrow after the night shift. ”

Ji Si'an was full of trust in Yuan Mu, she directly asked the location and set off immediately.

The early summer sun was already beginning to show heat, and when Ji Si'an ran outside the community sweating profusely, Yuan Mu was already waiting for her in the shade of the trees outside.

Ji Si'an only glanced at the girl, and was pulled aside by Yuan Mu. After making sure that the girl would not hear it, she said in a very low voice: "That's the ......, Zhao Di's younger brother Li Tianlong is dead. Her father called the police and suspected that his son had been killed. Her mother has been hospitalized for ....... Her father is almost crazy now, and I'm afraid that Zhao Di will be hurt. So I want her to stay with you tonight, and take her away tomorrow when I'm done. ”

The shocking news made Ji Si'an a little unable to react, and Yuan Mu said it extremely vaguely. She straightened out her thoughts, still confused, "Wait, I don't understand, that little boy is dead?" How did you die ....... ”

Yuan Mu glanced behind her, and she continued to lower her voice and said, "The boy ate unclean things with his sister...... and got food poisoning...... He's dead. His father thought it was the shopkeeper who did it on purpose."

Shopkeeper? Ji Si'an thought of something and asked in a low voice, "That fast food restaurant outside our community?" ”

Yuan Mu looked at Ji Si'an in surprise. "How do you know?"

Ji Si'an was afraid that Yuan Mu would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "I occasionally go to that fast food restaurant to buy hamburgers, and I often see children stealing the free sauce there. ”

Yuan Mu sighed and said, "It's that shop, the ketchup has expired." Other children also have diarrhea, but Tianlong ....... ”

Speaking of this, Ji Si'an understood Yuan Mu's worries. Judging from Li Tianlong's clean clothes, it shouldn't be possible for him to go there to steal sauce to eat. If he goes, he must follow his sister to recruit Di ....... Now that her younger brother is dead, her mother is hospitalized, and her father is an extremely patriarchal ......, Yuan Mu was afraid that her family would be unfavorable to her, so she entrusted her to her.

Yuan Mu looked at Ji Si'an's eyes and knew that she understood. Talking to smart people is a hassle-free. She stuffed the bag in her hand to Ji Si'an. "There's something I bought for her, you can take her to take a shower first when you get home. I've got something to do in my office, so I'll go back first. ”

When Ji Si'an saw Zhao Di, she was still wearing the skirt from a few days ago, and when she got closer, she saw clearly, it turned out that there were small flowers on the skirt, but she couldn't see it clearly because it was too dirty.

The girl was in a state of malaise, and she was led by Yuan Mu like a marionette and handed over to herself, and she had long since lost the look of the eldest sister in the subway station.

"Hello, my name is Ji Si'an, and I am a friend of Officer Yuan Mu, you can live with me tonight." Ji Si'an tried to communicate with her.

The girl kept her head down, and said nothing she could say. Fortunately, except for not speaking, she was very cooperative with herself. Ji Si'an felt as if he was carrying an invisible thread, dragging an inanimate puppet back to his residence.
