investigative chronicle

After hesitating again and again, Ji Si'an carefully put away the cloth bag, left the old house in a hurry, and rushed to the city god.

On the way home again, her heart was not as relaxed as before, and the clues about the ticket made her sleepless and restless.

Obviously looking forward to solving the case and the truth, why am I so annoyed by this clue.In fact, Ji Si'an already had a speculation in her mind, but she didn't want to think deeply about it.

It was already night when we returned to Chenghuang, Ji Si'an didn't go home, but went directly to the criminal police team.

"You are not in good health, you should go home and rest first." Yuan Mu was still pale but scolded Ji Si'an.

"Why are you going to work again? You should have a good rest. Why do I think you've lost weight again?" Ji Si'an didn't expect that it was Yuan Mu who came out to receive her.

"I'm all right."

"Staying at home is really boring, it's better to go to work. Do what you can, and be more at ease."

Yuan Mu smiled like a flower, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Ji Si'an hesitated for a long time and took out the cloth bag. "I found this in my grandma's old house..."

Yuan Mu was about to pick up the cloth bag she handed over, when she suddenly withdrew her hand. "Wait for me to get a glove..."

After putting on the gloves, Yuan Mu took out the piece of paper inside. "Train ticket? Or the day of the incident..."

"You suspect that this is the murderer's..."

Before Yuan Mu finished speaking, Ji Si'an's eyes were already moist.Normal people would have this inference... Her fluke of self-deception was ruthlessly shattered.

"Grandma knew that I used to look through her red lacquered wooden box when I was a child. This... should be left to me by her..."

Ji Si'an's tears fell in big drops, she hurriedly swept her fingers across her cheeks, and raised her head to stop the tears from falling.

Having said that, Yuan Mu already understood what Ji Si'an wanted to express.

"I'll give it to the master right away."

Before leaving the office, Yuan Mu stopped and turned back to Ji Si'an and said, "The inspection department is off work at this time. The fastest result is tomorrow. You wait for me here, and I will take you home later."

"No, I'll go back by myself. You are not in good health, go home early."

Since handing over the bag, Ji Si'an seemed to have exhausted all his energy.

What more did Yuan Mu say?Ji Si'an had already patted her on the shoulder to bid farewell. "I want to be alone..."

Coming out of the criminal police team, Ji Si'an took a taxi, but it was not in the direction of Huayuan Community.She asked the driver to take her to the somewhat barren hill.

Seeing her distraught look, the driver thought she was going to commit suicide a few times and tried to persuade her.She was silent, unwilling to communicate.

"Although it's beginning of spring now, the temperature is still very low at night, especially in the mountains. It's dangerous for you to go there at this time."

"Who is in your family? Let me call your family..."

Seeing the kind driver kept persuading.Ji Si'an finally said, "I'm fine, I'm just in a bad mood..."

Seeing the disbelief on the driver's face, she was worried that he would call the police, so she lied: "I asked my boyfriend to come over. He took me to relax and go back."

But she looked like a lost love in the eyes of the driver, and he didn't believe her words at all.

The driver's behavior gave Ji Si'an a small excuse, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Chen Sen's number.

"Chen Sen, I feel very sad...Can you accompany me to Tushan to look at the stars?" Ji Si'an was afraid that Chen Sen would refuse, so he spoke first.

"It's so late...I still have something to do..." Chen Sen on the other end of the phone hesitated.

"I'll wait for you." Ji Si'an didn't seem to hear his rejection, the three words contained too much emotion.

As the phone was hung up, big drops of tears wet the screen of the phone.

"Master, let's go, my boyfriend will be here in a while, thank you." Ji Si'an's words were not convincing.

The driver persuaded her a few more words, and drove away after she calmed down.

As soon as she got out of the car, the hard mountain wind taught her a lesson.Ji Si'an tightened his collar, took out a down jacket from his bag and put it on his body, and then walked up the mountain against the mountain wind.

Fortunately, the hillside is not too high, and she found a leeward place to sit down after about 20 minutes.

Leaning against the cold rocks on his back, looking up at the starry sky, tears flowed down again.

It was not only the murderer who made her sad, but also grandma...

That train ticket... shows that grandma knows the murderer....

Over the years, she has never taken out the ticket after seeing her in so much pain...

Could it be that in her heart, her granddaughter is far less important than her son....

The principles she taught her..., her upbringing... now seem like compensation...

This incident not only deprived Ji Si'an of his last family affection, but even grandma's love for her became less pure.

……

When Chen Sen went up the mountain, Ji Si'an was curled up behind the rock, his body shrunk into a small ball, helpless like a small animal.

His heart twitched violently.

"What are you doing here by yourself? It's so cold now! It will freeze to death."

With the warm coat draped over her shoulders, Ji Si'an raised his head, his cheeks and nose were red from the cold.

"Thank you for coming..."

"I thought no one in this world would love me...."

"He hates me so much... He definitely hoped that I would die with my mother and sister...but I survived..."

"If I died that day..., grandma wouldn't have to worry about it..., let alone feel guilty and compensate...."

"They have been lying to me...the ones who lie to me are the people who should be closest to me..."

……

Ji Si'an, who was out of control, saw that Chen Sen was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and kept talking about the distress in his heart.

Chen Sen was not good at comforting others, at best he was a qualified listener, he sat beside her silently and let her talk.

I don't know how long I have been talking on my own, until there is nothing more to say in my heart, Ji Si'an finally regained his sanity a little bit.

"Sorry...for calling you out so late."

When the excitement receded and the senses of cold, hunger, and shyness all returned to their place, Ji Si'an began to feel embarrassed.

"It's okay... we will all encounter knots that we can't untie, just say it."

This is what Chen Sen has said the most since he came.

"I'm sorry to trouble you....Next time...next time you can directly reject me."

Speaking of this, she remembered that people rejected her at first, so she added another sentence. "You don't have to come..."

"You're not in good health yet... It's too cold here, I'll take you back first." Chen Sen seemed to have something to do.

"Okay." Ji Si'an didn't want to cause him any more trouble, and walked down the mountain with his head down and his feet in a nonchalant manner.

Sitting in Chen Sen's car, the two of them were speechless all the way.

When she came to the gate of Huayuan Community, Ji Si'an remembered the first time she and Chen Sen met.At that time, she must have never imagined that one day when she was extremely sad, she would first think of him like a bastard.
