Chapter 28: Rhetoric

"Where did the medicine come from?" Li Muzi's voice had never been so cold.

Zhao Di replied uneasily: "It was given by Aunt Wang."

"How did you and Wang Yingdi meet?" Li Muzi asked calmly.

"She met her when she visited our house. She...... She saw my wounds ....... Then Aunt Wang often came to see me ....... She made me feel ...... She's probably my mom ....... ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Di looked at them anxiously and explained, "Teacher...... Sister Yuan, I'm ...... I'm not a bad boy, I ...... I was beaten badly by my mother, and I often fantasized that she was not my real mother, that I picked it up by her, so she ...... me like this. I...... I've been waiting in my heart for my biological mother to pick me up ....... I...... I used to think that Aunt Wang was my biological mother...... That's why I opened the door ....... Zhao Di cried out of breath.

"Why did you kill Ji Si'an?"

Zhao Di desperately shook her head in denial.

"Then let me change the question, did you deliberately let Wang Yingdi see you arguing, so that she felt that Ji Si'an was abusing you at home?" Li Muzi's two questions were extremely aggressive.

His words made Yuan Mu successfully withdraw the hand that wanted to help Zhaodi.

"I didn't mean to. I haven't been out in a long time. Every day when I come home from school, I have no friends and no time to play. That...... The weather was so good that I couldn't help but want to play a little longer. I'm sorry...... I...... There is no qualification to make such a request....... ”

Zhao Di's muttering words made Yuan Mu feel guilty. Zhao Di is only 9 years old, which is the age of playfulness, but the two adults ignore the child's feelings because they are busy. Adults can't stand this kind of control, let alone children. These days, Zhao Di has been carefully currying favor with them, well-behaved and obedient, and never dares to ...... willfully. Although she hadn't been in contact with many children, she knew in her heart that a child of this age could not be so well-behaved.

They thought they had given her refuge, but this kind of shelter had a high connotation, and it was passed on to Zhao Di in an unequal way as a kind of charity. They never considered Zhao Di's feelings.

"Have you ever given Ji Si'an sleeping pills? Why did you open the door to Kesian's house that night? Why did you contact her when you knew that person had killed your mother? Li Muzi grabbed the key point and asked calmly.

Yuan Mu looked at Li Muzi, women are easy to be swayed by emotions when dealing with problems, maybe his way is right. Whatever the reason, it is not a reason to commit a crime.

"I ......." Zhao Di was speechless for a while.

"I don't know how to answer? Let's come one by one, why do you want to contact Wang Yingdi again? Li Muzi bent down and stared at Yuan Mu tightly, not letting go of any subtle expression on her face.

Zhao Di bowed her head a little panicked: "It's not that I found her, it's that she found me." The day after the events of the community event, she came to the school gate to look for me. ”

"What did you tell her?" Li Muzi squatted down and looked at Zhao Di at eye level.

"I didn't say anything...... She told me that. Zhao Di muttered.

So smart. Li Muzi asked, 'What did you tell her?', and under normal circumstances, we would subconsciously answer the ...... I told her, instead of directly avoiding the question like Zhao Di and refuting it immediately. Until now, Yuan Mu finally realized that the little girl in front of him was unusual.

"Oh? So what did she tell you? Li Muzi asked.

"She told me she was going to take me away, and she said she would always protect me and be with me all the time." Zhao Di whispered.

"You believe her?" Li Muzi asked concisely.

Zhao Di hesitated for a long time before nodding.

"She killed your mother, and she almost killed you. Why do you still believe her? Li Muzi chased after him.

She said...... She is my biological mother...... Only she will be good to me...... Only she will never leave my ....... She said that as long as Sister Ji was put to sleep, she would definitely not hurt anyone this time...... She also said that if I didn't listen to her, she would tell me about opening the door that day. That'...... Everybody will call me ....... Zhao Di lowered her head, and a series of rhetoric pushed the responsibility cleanly.

"Why do you give Wang Yingdi the illusion that you are being subjected to domestic violence." Li Muzi repeats the previous question.

"I didn't ...... that day...... I can't wait to play a little longer. And I explained it to Aunt Wang...... She didn't believe ....... Zhao Di raised her head and glanced at Li Muzi timidly, and retorted stubbornly.

Li Muzi frowned slightly, he asked this question repeatedly to see if Li Zhaodi was lying. But she was able to keep the same tone from beginning to end, and it was unlikely that such a young child would have been able to do so perfectly if he lied. But things were a bit of a coincidence, and the timing was just right.......

"Have you ever given Ji Si'an sleeping pills?" Li Muzi still maintained a sense of oppression in interrogation.

Zhao Di rubbed the corners of her clothes with her hands and replied, "Yes." ”

"Where did you put the medicine? When did you open the door of Ji Si'an's house? Li Muzi continued to ask.

"I put the medicine in Sister Ji's porridge ....... I'm sorry...... Uncle Lee, I was wrong...... I shouldn't have believed her, I shouldn't have drugged Sister Ji, and I shouldn't have opened the door ....... Uncle, I was wrong, you can arrest me....... Zhao Di was emotional, her knees moved forward, and she fell in front of Li Muzi.

Their interrogation had to be suspended as a result.

"This is Li Zhaodi's explanation?" Ji Si'an looked into the darkness in the distance.

"Li Muzi is more powerful, I'm still too emotional." Yuan Mu sighed.

"Because I wanted to escape from my mother because of domestic violence, I believed Wang Yingdi, so I drugged and opened the door ....... Because he was afraid that the matter would be revealed, he pretended to have amnesia when he woke up. It was also because I was afraid of choosing to believe Wang Yingdi again, and I drugged and opened the ......, just to follow Wang Yingdi out of ....... If it was just to leave, she could have opened the door and sneaked out ....... ”

Ji Si'an sneered and asked Yuan Mu: "Do you believe these words?" ”

"I don't believe it, but ...... The prosecutor will believe it, the judge will believe it, and those who have not been with her will believe ....... After all, she was too young. Yuan Mu said softly.

Ji Si'an felt that her head was in a mess, she almost died because of Zhao Di's behavior, she naturally didn't believe her words. But when she is on the victim's side, she no longer sees the problem from the perspective of justice.

Yuan Mu understood Ji Si'an's mood very well. "Don't think about it, you get some sleep first. Raise your spirits, let's find evidence again. ”

Ji Si'an didn't sleep well this night, and woke up in nightmares several times, either chased by Wang Yingdi, or wandered at the scene of her mother and sister's accident, and she didn't fall asleep again until more than 4 o'clock in the morning.

When the phone rang, she was half-asleep and half-awake, and her professional habits made her pick up the phone in a daze.

"Sorry to bother you so early." Ji Si'an's lazy voice made Yang Ningning realize that she was still sleeping.

"It doesn't matter. It's a nightmare anyway, so it's better to wake up early. Ji Si'an said self-deprecatingly.

"I was trying to tell you something that I don't think makes sense." Yang Ningning said hesitantly.

"Is it about Li Zhaodi?" Ji Si'an sat up, and his consciousness immediately cleared.

"Hmm." Yang Ningning hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course, this is just my speculation, and it can't be used as a legal basis ......." I just think it's a little unreasonable. ”

"I understand. Please tell me. Ji Si'an unconsciously clenched the phone in his hand.
