Chapter 15: Murder (I)
"I guess she'...... I can't stay in Chenghuang anymore. At this point, Luo Li's voice was dull, and she no longer had the schadenfreude she had at the beginning.
Ji Si'an knew that he had opened a bad topic. Instead, she asked, "What about the law firm?" ”
"Don't worry, our benefits are very good, and some people want to take over." Luo Li is confident in this.
As Luo Li said, their law firm is very popular. The turmoil in the capital and partners lasted for more than a month, and it was not until the beginning of summer when the new director took office that everything calmed down. In fact, during this period, Ji Si'an and Luo Li's lives have not changed except for more gossip and conversation, and everything is still going on step by step.
Ji Si'an leaned against the baffle of the subway seat, laughing self-deprecatingly, this is the sadness of the workers, and the so-called changes above are not within their reach at all. Now that I think about it, her gossip behavior is like a pheasant talking about an eagle, and she is extremely stupid.
Fortunately, when the subway arrived at the station, it barely interrupted Ji Si'an's continuous self-deprecation.
As soon as he got out of the subway station, Ji Si'an noticed that something was wrong, and the wilderness seemed to be brighter today than in the past. She looked in the direction of the light source, and there was a police car parked not far away, and the red and blue flashing police lights stood out in the dark night. I don't know if it's Yuan Mu. Although Ji Si'an thought like this, she didn't plan to come forward to check, the pressure of catching the last train did not allow her to stay too long. Just when she turned around, the phone rang at the right time, she looked at the phone and smiled, it was Yuan Mu.
"Ji Si'an, did you just get out of the subway? We just got out of a police station and we're right here at the subway station. If it's convenient for you, come with me to see Zhaodi. Yuan Mu's voice was brisk, and he sounded like he was in a good mood.
In fact, such a bridge has been staged several times this month. Yuan Mu, a fool, was afraid that she would be in danger when she came home late, so he often patrolled along this road, but he always pretended to meet ...... casually. This is true for her, and it is also true for Zhao Di.
At this time, Zhao Di had already fallen asleep, and Yuan Mu looked at her so-called to quietly put the things she bought on the cabinet at the door ......of her house. I don't know if Zhao Di is still blaming her, if she knew that Yuan Mu had done so much for her, maybe she would figure it out....... However, it is also possible that Zhao Di's father ran away from home after coming out of the detention center, and he was afraid that she would count the account on Yuan Mu's head again.
"Hey, what are you rubbing, come here, I'll take you home while the police are done at this time." Yuan Mu urged on the other end of the phone.
Ji Si'an put away his thoughts, jumped down the steps, and ran to the police car where Yuan Mu was in a familiar car.
"How do you have a cushion?" As soon as he got in the car, Ji Si'an noticed the difference.
"Is it pretty?" Yuan Mu asked proudly.
The cushion with a soft and cute rabbit pattern made Ji Si'an's heart skip a beat. She nodded vigorously in response, "It's so cute." ”
"This is the little bunny girl I prepared for you, so you don't have to do laundry every time you get in our car." Yuan Mu said proudly.
Ji Si'an looked at the bag next to the seat (it was for Zhao Di) and said with a pun: "Yuan Mu, you are so good."
There were no street lights on the way to the simple house, Ji Si'an and Yuan Mu turned left and right by the light of Li Muzi's strong flashlight, and quickly came to the door of Zhao Di's house through the labyrinth-like narrow road.
Yuan Mu skillfully put the bag on the cabinet at the door, but Ji Si'an sighed. "The door seems to be open."
Could it be that Zhao Di forgave Yuan Mu for the door that was specially left for her? Ji Si'an glanced at Yuan Mu, she obviously thought the same thing.
They knocked on the door, shouting Zhao Di's name, but there was silence in the room. The sensitivity of the profession made Li Muzi immediately realize that it was not good, he pulled Yuan Mu behind him and motioned for them to stay outside the door, but he took out his baton and opened the door to check inside.
Although Ji Si'an was behind them, she was the first to see the situation in the house from her ...... perspective. She slumped to the ground ...... at the sound of a sound.
The sudden weight obviously overwhelmed Yuan Mu, she couldn't take care of Li Muzi, and helped Ji Si'an to sit on the ground with all her might. "Xiao An, what's wrong with you?"
"Dead Man...... There are dead man's ...... in it. Ji Si'an's voice was extremely low, and Yuan Mu barely guessed what she wanted to say based on her expression.
Zhao Di! Yuan Mu got up and wanted to rush into the house, but was stopped by Li Muzi who came out. "To protect the scene, you call an ambulance immediately. I'll contact the office and the sub-bureau. ”
Vocational training had formed a conditioned reflex in her, and she subconsciously carried out the order and called the emergency number.
At this time, Ji Si'an also calmed down, and she accompanied Yuan Mu to the police car to take down the cordon. Li Muzi took pictures of the scene and re-entered the house.
Yuan Mu ...... Will you be able to do first aid? You're here to help ....... ”
Ji Si'an stood outside the cordon and watched Yuan Mu and Li Muzi give first aid ...... to Zhao Di. Her head was in a mess, and she was still a little dizzy until she returned to her lodgings in the middle of the night.
The night was thick, and this time she was the only one who came to Zhao Di's house, pushed open the hidden door, and the room of about fifteen square meters was unobstructed. In the dilapidated double bed, an emaciated woman lay there with several stabs, blood spilling all over the rudimentary mattress and dripping slowly down the corners......
The ticking sound kept vibrating her eardrum in the silent night, Ji Si'an swallowed her saliva, and still walked towards the house with her head stubborn, she wanted to save Zhao Di who was lying on the bed.
As she approached the bed, the woman sat up suddenly, her hands grasping her arm like pincers, her cloudy eyes fixed on her.
Ji Si'an screamed and woke up from his dream ......, and the nightmare returned...... This time the two memories seemed to be mixed together, making it even more difficult to distinguish.
The cold water dripped down Ji Si'an's hair, and the wet clothes were very uncomfortable against his body. She cheered up and came to the unit, where Luo Li was already waiting for her at her desk.
Ji Si'an was physically and mentally exhausted, and he really didn't have the energy to talk to Luo Li. She smiled feebly at Lori and walked around her and almost slammed her body into the seat.
Luo Li pushed the breakfast that had already been placed on the table in the direction of Ji Si'an. "Eat something. Are you alright? ”
Ji Si'an shook his head weakly, not wanting to say more.
"The news is all reported. This is already the second homicide, and the place where you live is too unsafe, so wait for the rent to expire and change places. Luo Li said worriedly.
Ji Si'an looked at Luo Li with a worried face, and his heart warmed, this girl has been silently caring about herself.
"Yesterday...... I was on the spot...... Zhao Di's family is really miserable. For the first time, Ji Si'an had the desire to talk.
Luo Li's mouth opened slightly, and she understood all the experiences of the Zhao Di family as if listening to the story. "This little girl is too miserable. She...... How about now? ”
"He said he was in a severe coma, and he was still in the ICU." Ji Si'an rubbed his aching head. Now the police are desperately looking forward to her waking up, and the clues she can provide as the sole survivor and witness are too important.
Their conversation was soon interrupted by the ringing of a bell. They glanced at each other helplessly, and quickly got into work. The new leaders have improved a lot in their style of life, but they have strengthened the suppression of working hours much more than before. Their work is busier than ever.
In the next week, Ji Si'an was tormented by nightmares every day, her already thin body looked thinner and thinner, and it was easy to survive until the weekend, but her life was completely broken by Yuan Mu's arrival.
