Chapter 15 Murder

"I guess she... won't be able to stay in City God anymore." At this point, Luo Li's voice was dull, and she was no longer gloating at others' misfortune at the beginning.

Ji Si'an knew it was a bad topic.She turned to ask, "What about the law firm?"

"Don't worry, our business is very profitable, and some people want to take over." Luo Li is very confident about 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 early summer when the new director took office that everything was considered calm.In fact, during this period, Ji Si'an and Luo Li's life remained unchanged except for more gossip and talk, and everything was going on step by step.

Ji Si'an leaned against the sideboard of the subway seat, and laughed at herself. This is the tragedy of the beating workers, and the so-called changes above are beyond their reach.Now that I think about it, her gossiping behavior is like a pheasant talking about an eagle, extremely stupid.

Fortunately, when the subway arrived at the station, Ji Si'an barely interrupted his constant self-deprecating mental journey.

As soon as he got out of the subway station, Ji Si'an realized something was wrong, the wilderness seemed brighter today than before.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 was thinking this way, she didn't intend to go up to check, the pressure of catching the last train didn't 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 off the subway? We just got off a police station, and we happen to be 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 in a good mood.

In fact, such a bridge has been staged several times this month.Yuan Mu, a fool, is afraid that she will be in danger when she returns home late, so she often patrols along this road, but she always pretends to meet her by chance....This is true for her, and it is also true for Zhaodi.

At this time, Zhaodi had already fallen asleep, and Yuan Mu's so-called looking at her was to quietly put the bought things on the cabinet at the door of her house...I don't know if Zhao Di is still blaming her, if she knows Yuan Mu has done so much for her, maybe she will figure it out...But maybe, Zhaodi's father ran away from home after he came out of the detention center, and he was afraid that she would put the blame on Yuan Mu again.

"Hey, what are you dawdling about, come here quickly, I can take you home before the police finish their work." Yuan Mu urged on the other end of the phone.

Ji Si'an put away his thoughts and jumped down the steps and ran to the police car where Yuan Mu was in a familiar way.

"Why is there a cushion?" Ji Si'an noticed the difference as soon as he got in the car.

"Is it pretty?" Yuan Mu asked proudly.

The cushion with the cute bunny pattern made Ji Si'an's heart skip a beat.She responded with a vigorous nod, "It's so cute."

"This is the little bunny girl I prepared for you, so that you don't have to wash your clothes every time you take our car." Yuan Mu said proudly.

Ji Si'an looked at the bag next to the seat (it was for Zhaodi) and said with a pun, "Yuan Mu, you are so kind."

There were no street lights on the way to the simple house, so Ji Si'an and Yuan Mu turned left and right by the light of Li Muzi's bright flashlight, and quickly came to Zhaodi's house through the maze-like narrow road.

Yuan Mu skillfully placed the bag on the cabinet at the door, but Ji Si'an let out a snort. "The door appears to be open."

Could it be that Zhaodi forgave Yuan Mu for leaving the door for her?Ji Si'an glanced at Yuan Mu, she obviously thought so too.

They knocked on the door and called Zhaodi's name, but the room was silent.The professional sensitivity made Li Muzi immediately realize that something was wrong. He pulled Yuan Mu behind him and motioned them to guard the door, but he pulled 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 inside the house from her perspective...With a sound of ah, she collapsed on the ground...

The sudden weight seemed to overwhelm Yuan Mu, she ignored Li Muzi and supported Ji Si'an to sit on the ground with all her strength. "Xiao An, what's wrong with you?"

"Dead people... There are dead people inside...." 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. "Protect the scene, call an ambulance immediately. I'll contact the institute and branch."

Vocational training has formed a conditioned reflex in her, and she subconsciously carried out the order and called the emergency call.

At this time, Ji Si'an also calmed down, and she accompanied Yuan Mu to the police car to remove the cordon.Li Muzi took pictures of the scene and then entered the house again.

"Yuan Mu...can you give first aid? You come to help..."

Ji Si'an stood outside the cordon and watched Yuan Mu and Muzi Li give first aid to Zhaodi...Her head was in a mess, and she was still a little dizzy when she returned to her residence in the middle of the night.

The night was thick, and she was the only one who came to Zhaodi's house this time, and opened the half-covered door, and she had a panoramic view of the room of about fifteen square meters.On the dilapidated double bed, there was a thin woman lying there with several knives in her body, blood overflowing the simple mattress and dripping slowly along the corners...

The ticking sound kept vibrating her eardrum in the silent night, Ji Si'an swallowed her saliva, and still walked into the house bravely, she wanted to save Zhaodi who was lying on the bed.

Just as she was approaching the bed, the woman sat up suddenly, her ice-like hands grabbed her arm like pliers, and her cloudy eyes stared at her.

Ji Si'an woke up from the dream screaming... and the nightmare came back... This time the two memories seemed to be mixed together, making it even more difficult to distinguish.

Cold water trickled down Ji Si'an's hair, and it was very uncomfortable to stick the wet clothes to his body.She cheered up and came to the unit. Luo Li was already waiting for her at the desk.

Ji Si'an was so exhausted physically and mentally that he didn't have the energy to talk to Luo Li.She smiled palely at Luo Li, then walked around her and almost fell and smashed her body hard into the seat.

Luo Li pushed the breakfast that was already on the table towards Ji Si'an. "Eat something. Are you all right?"

Ji Si'an shook his head feebly and didn't want to say more.

"The news has been reported. This is already the second homicide case. The place you live in is too unsafe. Change the place when the rent is due." Luo Li said worriedly.

Ji Si'an looked at the worried Luo Li, and felt warm in his heart. This girl has been silently caring about him.

"Yesterday... I was at the scene... Zhaodi's family is really miserable." For the first time, Ji Si'an had the desire to confide.

Luo Li opened her mouth slightly, and understood all the experiences of Zhaodi's family as if listening to a story. "This little girl is too miserable. How is she... now?"

"It's said to be in a severe coma, and he's still in the ICU." Ji Si'an rubbed his aching head.Now the police are looking forward to her waking up. As the only survivor and witness, the clues she can provide are too important.

Their conversation was quickly interrupted by the ringing of the bell.They looked at each other helplessly, and then quickly entered the working state.The new leader has improved a lot in terms of life style, but the suppression of working hours is much stronger than before.Their work is busier than before.

For the next week, Ji Si'an was tormented by nightmares every day, and her thin body seemed to be getting thinner and thinner. After finally surviving until the weekend, her life was completely broken by Yuan Mu's arrival.
