investigative chronicle

"Xiao An."

When Ji Si'an unbuckled her seat belt and was about to get out of the car, Chen Sen stopped her.

"Yeah." Ji Si'an was still embarrassed by his behavior, and didn't dare to look at Chen Sen's face.

"You are a good girl, you have to believe that many people love you."

An inexplicable sentence.

"Among many people...is there you?"

Ji Si'an said the most daring sentence in so many years.

After a brief silence, Chen Sen teased in a frivolous tone: "What are you talking about? Do you like me..."

Ji Si'an's heart ached: "No, I was joking."

After she finished speaking, she got out of the car, and she didn't look him in the eyes from the beginning to the end.

Many years later, she was still thinking, if she had had the courage to look into his eyes that day, would she have been able to discover the clues....

It's a pity that there are no ifs in life.

……

It was already the afternoon of the next day when Ji Si'an received a call from Yuan Mu and came to the criminal police team again.Master and Muzi Li were already waiting for her in the conference room.

Both sides sat down, but the master and the others hesitated how to explain the test results to her.

"On the ticket...is there my father's fingerprints?" Ji Si'an was the first to break the silence.

Yuan Mu held Ji Si'an's hand worriedly.Ji Si'an smiled back, "I'm fine."

After a night of calmness, she figured out a lot of things.

"It's like this..., there was no real-name system for train tickets in 2000, so we have no way to determine who this train ticket belongs to."

"There are your father's fingerprints on the ticket, but there are also some other people's fingerprints. These fingerprints may be the ticket holder, or the ticket inspector, conductor, etc."

"So we cannot use this evidence to determine that the buyer and user of the ticket is your father. Even if the ticket belongs to your father, this evidence alone cannot be used to determine that he is the murderer..."

The master tried to clarify the situation of the evidence.

"If there is no alibi, he should be the biggest suspect." Ji Si'an said very calmly.

"From experience, it's like this..." The master didn't know how to tell her the cruel truth, so he only admitted vaguely.

"I still have a clue..." Ji Si'an's voice was very low, but everyone present could hear it clearly.

"Let's talk about it." The master signaled Muzi Li to record.

"My father is right-handed, but when he plays cards, he is used to drawing cards with his left hand..."

She didn't feel anything when she discovered her father's habit that night.She didn't connect it all until the appearance of that ticket.

Wang Qiang said that the room card he stole was picked up by a man, and that man picked up the room card with his left hand.These two pieces of evidence matched up, and there was a high probability that the murderer was him.

Li Muzi looked at the master excitedly and said in a low voice: "There are so many coincidences, he is very suspicious."

"But none of this is critical evidence...."

"The scene was too damaged, there were no footprints, fingerprints, murder weapons, etc., so it was difficult to convict the suspect."

The master knew the difficulty of the case, and he clearly informed Ji Si'an of these unfavorable factors in order to prepare her mentally.

Most cold cases are shelved because there is so little evidence that even if they find suspects, they won't be able to convict them.

"Ok, I know."

Ji Si'an is also very contradictory now, and there is a high probability that there will be no results if she continues to investigate. Even if she finds the results, it may not be what she wants to see.

"But there is enough evidence for us to re-interrogate him...."

The master finished speaking halfway, and Ji Si'an understood that the follow-up could only depend on whether his father was willing to tell what happened that day.

When the police approached Ji Hui, he seemed to have been prepared, and he followed them to Chenghuang after exhorting his wife and children carefully.

"I want to see Ji Si'an."

Seeing that the police who received him hesitated, Ji Hui continued, "You have no evidence to prove that I killed someone. If I don't see her, I won't say anything."

At this point, the master had no choice but to inform Ji Si'an to come to the criminal police team.

The father and daughter met again on such an occasion.Ji Si'an felt a little ironic.

"Is that all you care about?"

"Is the answer really that important?"

Unlike before, this time it was her father who was looking directly at her, and her eyes averted.

"I went to see you the day you were injured. You are stubborn, just like your mother."

"You haven't been like me since you were a child... Those eyes seem to be able to read people's hearts, it's scary."

"It's not like Sinuo... who puts all his thoughts on his face, shouts when he is angry, and cries when he is sad..."

Ji Si'an was angered by her father's words, and she replied sharply: "Yes. Ji Sinuo is better than me in everything. Then why do you want to kill her?"

"Don't you love her the most?"

Seeing his daughter getting angry, Ji Hui suddenly smiled. "You think I killed Snow?"

"So you thought I killed her..."

"How could I kill her... She is the daughter I love the most, the most like my daughter... How can I hurt her before I love her?"

Smiling and laughing, Ji Hui's tears kept dripping, his expression gradually ferocious, and his eyes became more and more fierce.

Hearing this, the master thought of Sinuo's well-dressed appearance and carefully combed hair when he died... suddenly felt bad....

He wanted to interrupt Ji Hui and take Ji Si'an out of the interrogation room, but he was a step too late.

Ji Hui had already opened his mouth viciously: "Have you forgotten all of it? You evil star, how could you forget?"

Ji Si'an was frightened by her father's expression, just when she was about to be helped out of the interrogation room by her master.

Ji Hui said again: "My Nuonuo was killed by your good mother."

Hearing these words, Ji Si'an was like thunder, she stayed where she was, the whole world was far away from her, only her father's words were still echoing in her ears. "My Nuonuo was killed by your good mother, my Nuonuo was killed by your good mother...."

"Don't you want the truth? I'll tell you right now...."

"What? I'm scared at this time, and I don't want to hear it anymore?"

"Wang Yingqi...that woman is responsible for the way I am now."

"Do you know why I don't like you? Because you are just like your mother!"

"Not only do they look the same, but they also have the same temperament."

"Always put on that condescending face."

"A college student is amazing! Why don't you marry me to pay off the debt..."

"Why are you pretending to be lofty. Bah, you watery bitch..."

"I'm here to the City God. Do you know why I came to the City God? Because I want to catch rape!"

"She has been married to me for so many years, and she still thinks about that man. We met in the name of the classmate association...do you think I'm a fool?"

"And you... I don't know who you are."

"Since giving birth to you, that bitch has always wanted to leave me. She has a guilty conscience..."

"You still want to divorce me, what's the matter? You want to come to City God to live and fly with your adulterer, hmph...there is no way..."

……

Seeing that Ji Hui was getting more and more out of control, the master gave Yuan Mu a wink, wanting her to take Ji Si'an out.

"Don't go! Don't you want an answer? Why don't you dare to listen now?!"

"I understand. You are afraid. You are afraid that these things are related to you, aren't you?"

"You are as selfish as your mother!"
