"Officer, will I be oversentenced?" All of Wang Qiang's focus is on his sentence.

"Impersonating someone else's identity and going to jail...... You tell me? ”

"If you don't add two or three years, it's cheaper for you."

The master was keenly aware of Wang Qiang's psychology and directly said the consequences to increase the pressure on him.

Hearing the master's words, Wang Qiang lay on the table and sniffed, his spirit was very sluggish.

"July 1, 2000, at Chenghuang ##宾馆盗窃的人是不是你?"

"It's me."

"Did you kill someone?"

"I didn't kill anyone! Although I am a petty thief, I would never dare to kill. Wang Qiang excitedly defended himself.

"Then why did you leave the City God?" The master's eyes became sharp.

"I ...... I...... I was scared. ”

"What are you afraid of? Afraid we'll catch you? Li Muzi answered.

"I'm just scared...... You treat me as a murderer......" Wang Qiang said with some excitement.

"Why should we treat you as a murderer? What else do you have left unexplained? ”

Wang Qiang's eyes wandered, obviously hiding something.

"If the information you say is useful to us, there is a chance that we will apply for a commutation of sentence for major meritorious service." The master throws out the most attractive conditions.

"Really?" Wang Qiang was still a little hesitant.

"Of course it's true. You have been in so many times, and the relevant policies should be clear. The master replied in the affirmative.

Wang Qiang clasped his hands and was silent for a while before he slowly spoke.

"That night, after stealing from the hotel, I threw the worthless keys and key cards in the nearby trash can......"

"I wanted to smoke a cigarette not long after I walked out, but I couldn't find it when I felt in my pocket. I thought I had accidentally thrown away the cigarette when I threw away the keycard, so I went back to check it. ”

"I saw a man rummaging through the garbage can, and I hid in the dark and saw him take something out of it. I thought it was a homeless man nearby, so I didn't pay any attention to it. ”

But the next day, the news of the murder in the hotel came out...... The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, the direction the man left last night was the same direction as the hotel. So I quietly went back to the trash can to check, and it turned out that the person had taken the room key card for room 506 at night. ”

"I was terrified. I was worried that I would be followed by the man when I was stealing, and I was worried that I would be taken for the murderer...... I didn't tell the police about it. ”

If what Wang Qiang said was true, the man was likely to be the murderer.

"What is the use of you not saying such an important clue at the time?!" Li Muzi was so angry that he was angry.

"Officer...... I'm scared. I'm afraid of being taken for a murderer...... That case is very big, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid you won't be able to resist the pressure and put the blame on me. Saying that, Wang Qiang lowered his head weakly.

Li Muzi was about to have a seizure, but he was stopped by the master.

"Do you remember what the man's characteristics were? Can you describe your appearance, height, and body shape? ”

Wang Qiang shook his head and said in a muffled voice: "I didn't see it clearly...... It was too dark. ”

"Why do you still want to make meritorious service and reduce your sentence? I wonder if this is a lie to us. Li Muzi raised his eyebrows and almost slapped the table.

"No...... Officer, I'm telling the truth. ”

"That guy is so much taller than a garbage can." Wang Qiang gestured and said, "It's about 1.75 meters." ”

"That's how he gets things...... Wang Qiang stood up and imitated the man's movements.

"You do this again." The master looked at him thoughtfully.

"Are you sure that's how he flipped through his keycard?"

"yes, sure."

This time, Wang Qiang gave a very positive answer.

When he came out of prison, Li Muzi couldn't help but say: "This person shouldn't be a murderer." ”

The master frowned and did not speak.

"The autopsy report showed that the killer was right-handed. The person Wang Qiang saw who turned over the trash can was left-handed. Li Muzi continued.

But the time and place were right, and the person only took away the 506 room card...... It's a coincidence......

This man has a lot of suspicions...... It's a pity that nearly two decades have passed, and it is too difficult to find this person.

I thought that this investigation could get a breakthrough in the case, but I didn't expect it to be a dead end. In this way, the case of Ji Si'an's mother and sister being killed was temporarily shelved.

……

The days of hospitalization passed quickly, and in the ultra-high temperature ward, Ji Si'an had not had time to feel the cold of winter, and spring came quietly.

When Merlin and Lori picked her up from the hospital, the sun was just right, and just a coat was enough to cope with the cool breeze brought by the spring breeze.

Take a walk around the ghost gate, and then see everything is beautiful. Since he came out of the hospital, the smile on Ji Si'an's face has not disappeared.

If it weren't for her excessively pale face and lack of energy, others would have thought that she had just returned from a trip.

"What's next for you?" Mei Lin asked as she handed Ji Si'an a bowl of chicken soup.

"I want to go home and see." Ji Si'an's words made Luo Li stop what she was doing.

They didn't know each other well during college, but they heard that she rarely went home. Since his work, Ji Si'an has not returned home once.

At first, she didn't understand it, but since she learned about Ji Si'an's past, she realized her difficulty. If her father and stepmother treated her like that, she didn't want to go back, and even went more extreme, maybe she wanted to break off the father-daughter relationship.

Now Ji Si'an suddenly wants to go home...... This made Luo Li feel bad.

"I'm fine, it's just that after experiencing this life and death, I feel ...... I feel that there are many things that are not the way to do. It's my father, after all...... If I keep being so stiff, I'm ...... I'm afraid I'll regret it later. ”

The filial piety engraved in the bones, the 'son wants to raise but does not wait' in the poems. She was suddenly scared, afraid that she would regret it one day......

"Although we are not close...... I did what I could, just to have a clear conscience. ”

At this time, Ji Si'an was contradictory, on the one hand, she couldn't forgive her father, but on the other hand, she felt that he was her father no matter what.

And she went back this time for another important purpose, that is, to see the old mansion.

Mei Lin and Luo Li did not stop Ji Si'an, who had made up his mind. They helped her buy a ticket, dropped her off at the train station, and repeatedly told her to stay safe and take care of herself on the road. Ji Si'an embarked on the journey back to his hometown in the spring of this year.

My hometown has changed a lot, and I can hardly find any childhood memories along the way. Fortunately, now that the network is developed, Ji Si'an relied on navigation to find the bus back to his hometown.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village, and the road back to the village was in front of him, but Ji Si'an looked a little cramped. Although it is the busy season of farming, there are still many old people and children at the entrance of the village and the streets and alleys to chat and rest here, and facing the eyes of the people in the village, Ji Si'an moved his steps numb and walked towards the alley of his home.

When she was a child, she was very afraid of such a scene, those grandparents, uncles and aunts, in her eyes, they all looked similar, and the generations were even more varied, she and Ben couldn't remember which ones were called aunts, which ones were called grandmothers, and some people who were much older than themselves called her aunts......

If she left without saying hello, the next day they would find her grandmother and tell her privately how rude-mannered she was...... So much so that she rarely went out later, and as a last resort, she ran away with a crowd chatting with a crowd of chatters, and she also said 'you are staying here', which is a panacea way to say hello and run.

Often people in group chats can't tell who she's greeting, so vaguely it passes.
