With just one glance, Ji Si'an couldn't stand it, and she quickly turned her head to the side.

"It's Yang Ping, she's dead...... Luo Li cried breathlessly, and the weight of her entire body pressed against Ji Si'an.

Ji Si'an took a step back, barely holding her up. "Let's call the police."

They climbed out of the pit with their hands and feet, and walked a long way before they found a signal and successfully called the police.

When Yuan Mu and the others arrived at the scene, Luo Li was crying and trembling, and her hands and feet were numb and she couldn't get up. She had to ask Ji Si'an, who seemed to be quite calm, to take them to the scene.

Ji Si'an looked at Yuan Mu, his eyes were hollow. Yuan Mu told her several times before she understood what she meant.

This is not the first time Ji Si'an has faced a dead body, but the impact of the scene still scared her.

"Good...... I'll show you the way. Although she said this, her legs were not very strong, she tried several times but couldn't stand up, and finally reluctantly stood up with the help of Yuan Mudi.

Ji Si'an brought them to the scene, and sat down with his back half-leaning against the pine tree. Her legs shook uncontrollably.

"The child's name is Yang Ping, and he is not yet 14 years old...... She didn't go back to the drop-in center after school the day before yesterday. I accompanied Luo Li to find her......" Ji Si'an answered the question of the police handling the case.

"You ...... How did you come up with the idea of coming here? The police asked.

"When we came to look for her last night, a man in black shook us with a flashlight and hurried in this direction. We were scared and thought we'd come back the next day......"

"What if...... I mean, if we had come along last night, wouldn't she have had an accident......"

Ji Si'an grabbed the policeman's sleeve like a drowning man, and her self-blame and remorse almost drowned her......

She had already missed it once, and if she missed it again this time, she would never forgive herself.

"Although I am not a medical examiner, I can see that her blood vessels have changed color and are clearly visible, and it is clear that she was killed earlier. You...... Don't blame yourself too much. ”

The policeman's words made Ji Si'an breathe a sigh of relief, but then came a deep sense of guilt. The child died, but he was glad that it had nothing to do with his actions......

"Tell me about yesterday. Do you remember the look of the man in black? The police asked.

Ji Si'an wiped his face fiercely, trying to calm himself down. She described the situation to the police in detail, but when it came to the man's appearance and physical features, she paused.

She remembered nothing but fear when she thought of that person. Inky clothes, a face hidden in the darkness, he suddenly appeared there like a ghost, and suddenly disappeared into black.

Ji Si'an patted her head vigorously, this familiar feeling of powerlessness made her angry at her own incompetence.

"Don't worry, it's normal. You met unconsciously, and he shook you again. Well, I'll leave you a call, and then you can contact me anytime you think of anything. "The police stopped her self-harm at the right time.

Yuan Mu, who saw this scene from afar, sighed secretly, she could understand Ji Si'an's feelings.

She looked at the medical examiner at the bottom of the pit who was loading the body into a body bag and knew that the inquest was nearing completion. So she said to Ji Si'an: "Xiao An, go down with me first." ”

Ji Si'an stood up and also saw the body bag, her eyes were hot, tears fell uncontrollably again, and she responded in a thick nasal voice: "Okay, let's go down first."

Luo Li under the mountain has regained her composure, she explained Yang Ping's situation in detail to the police, and handed him the hairpin in her hand.

When Yuan Mu and the others came to the bottom of the mountain, they saw the police putting hairpins into the evidence bag.

"I think the murderer is the same bastard from ten years ago." Luo Li said firmly.

"What? Why do you think that? The police only hesitated to know what she was talking about. It seems that the case of ten years ago has always been firmly remembered by them.

"They are all minors......"

"But Yang Ping is a little older than the previous girl, and she doesn't quite meet his criteria for choosing a target." The police said.

"And...... The corpse is not right either. The previous victim was strangled to death, but Yang Ping had several stab wounds on her body. Yuan Mu answered. She was also clearly aware of the case from ten years ago.

"My instinct is that he ......," Lori said stubbornly.

Ji Si'an looked at her, Luo Li seemed to know a lot about the case that happened here ten years ago, and she was very persistent.

Yuan Mu understands because she is a police officer, but why Luo Li knows so well, ten years ago, she was still a child.

Thinking of this, Ji Si'an looked at Luo Li in surprise, and at this moment she felt that she was getting closer and closer to her secret.

"She also smells of lavender. The taste...... I can't be mistaken, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life......"

Lori's tear-soaked eyes were exceptionally clear.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that the deceased smelled of lavender? "The police thought it was incredible.

Yang Ping had been dead for a while, and the corpse had a faint stench, but Luo Li said that she smelled lavender. His first reaction was that she had been stimulated and her sense of smell had deviated.

"Ten years ago...... I met him when he was wearing a white shirt with raw cuffs but still clean. He had this faint smell of lavender on him......"

The doll hanging in Miao Miao's schoolbag is also stained with this smell...... He's back. ”

Luo Li's words didn't match the words in the preface and afterwords, which made Yuan Mu and them react for a while. "You mean you saw that Road and Bridge Killer ten years ago?"

"Are you an eyewitness?" The police stared at Luo Li excitedly.

Lori nodded with tears in her eyes. "Yes, I'm an eyewitness."

"Ten years ago, I was supposed to be the one who was killed. The person he's eyeing is me. ”

finally told the secret that had been hidden in her heart for a long time, and Luo Li couldn't cry anymore.

"Ten years ago? Ten years ago you were a little girl, didn't you......" In the middle of the sentence, the detachment leader stopped talking.

He walked up to Luo Li: "You are the little girl who walked with Miao Miao after school?" ”

"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry......" Lori broke down and cried.

Looking at her, the detachment leader remembered ten years ago. At that time, she also broke down and cried like this. Her parents, fearing that she would be provoked again, kicked him out.

"Have you seen the murderer?" The detachment commander confirmed to her again.

He remembered that her parents said that Luo Li did not go home with Miao Miao, and that it was her father who picked her up and returned home that day.

"Dad was late that day...... Miao Miao asked me to take the bus with her...... I was actually with her that day......"

"Then why are you lying!?" The detachment commander was very angry.

"Because I'm afraid...... My mother said that the man was a rapist, and if others knew that he was eyeing me, they would inevitably make irresponsible remarks, and I would not be able to wash myself by jumping into the Yellow River...... I'm sorry, I didn't know he was going to kill Miao Miao...... I really didn't expect him to kill ......"
