investigative chronicle

Chapter 17 Alliance
After drinking a glass of warm water, Yuan Mu regained consciousness a lot.She opened the notebook and continued to introduce the case. "At the scene where the woman was murdered, there was actually a girl who was about 7 or 8 years old. It's just that she was wrapped in a quilt on the bed. They didn't see her at the time, and later the police found out when they inspected the scene."

"The woman was stabbed to death by a double-edged sharp weapon about 15 cm long and 3 cm wide. She lost too much blood. She was stabbed [-] times in total, and finally the blades were all broken. The body was thrown on the ground randomly. The girl was Those who were smothered to death were even tidied up after death, and even their hair was combed neatly..."

One is treated like garbage, and the other is treated like treasure, two completely different mental states.

Ji Si'an noticed that Yuan Mu deliberately avoided Yuan Shan's situation when describing the case.She knew that it was not easy for Yuan Mu to say this, so she just listened quietly.

Ji Si'an is really a qualified listener, and he found the right person.Yuan Mu calmed down and continued: "The murderer wore a raincoat and rain boots when committing the crime, and the rain that night was too heavy, which washed away all traces. I suspect that the murderer was caught when he returned to the scene after finding something left behind. It's here...my sister."

"Did the reporter see anything?" Ji Si'an asked in a timely manner.

"They didn't find the person who made the report...he called the police from a public phone." Yuan Mu looked lonely.

Ji Si'an thought carefully about the situation in the simple room that night. "You mean that Zhaodi and her mother's situation is the same as the case five years ago..."

Yuan Mu tidied up her short hair and seemed to be in better spirits. "Yes. All the details match up."

"My mother and sister's case...is he also?" Ji Si'an's voice trembled.

"I haven't read the case file carefully, but the victim's situation is very similar..." Yuan Mu said.

"The victims were all mothers alone with a 7- or 8-year-old girl; the mothers were brutally stabbed to death with knives; the girls were all smothered to death."

"There is also the way to dispose of the corpses. The adults were thrown on the ground at will, and the girls' remains were carefully sorted out... Judging from his behavior towards the girls, he is guilty, otherwise he would not help them cover the body. Put on the quilt."

Ji Si'an's brain was flooded with these sudden information and could hardly think.She forced herself to calm down under the cover of drinking water.

"You...why are you looking for me?"

Looking at Shang Ji Si'an's light eyebrows, Yuan Mu felt that the girl in front of her was very powerful, and most people couldn't keep calm when facing these situations.But she was able to ask herself indifferently.

"I...I...." Under the influence of alcohol, Yuan Mu's mind was still a little confused.Yes, why are you looking for Ji Si'an?She is not a police officer.

"Maybe... Maybe it's because you have the same experience as me?" Yuan Mu said in a low voice.

Ji Si'an looked at her calmly, his light brown eyes were even a little cold. "If you want me to help you get rid of the past, I'm afraid I can't do anything."

Ji Si'an lowered her head, her nightmare was still going on, and she was powerless to help others.It would be ridiculous for a drowning man to save another drowning man.

"I'm sorry... I was the one to be abrupt." Yuan Mu grabbed his bag and was about to go out in some embarrassment.

Ji Si'an grabbed her backpack. "It's very late now, it's not safe for you to drink too much... Just stay here tonight and leave tomorrow morning."

Yuan Mu didn't want to stay with such transparent Ji Si'an for a moment, she pulled the backpack vigorously, but she didn't want Ji Si'an to be too strong.

"I... don't know how to end this nightmare... so I can't help you..." Ji Si'an breathed a sigh of relief as soon as the words came out.

For Ji Si'an, the secret that has been buried in his heart for a long time can finally be revealed. It is a kind of relief for Ji Si'an.

"Despite my desperate attempts to catch them, I... can't even remember what they looked like."

Yuan Mu sat down again. "Actually, it's good not to remember."

Ji Si'an shook his head and asked, "Then why don't you forget?"

"Do you think forgetting is betrayal?"

"I often think why me? Why did I survive? If my sister survived, would things be different?"

"In other words, she must be able to remember the murderer. She is not as incompetent as me..."

"Do you want to catch the murderer?" Yuan Mu interrupted Ji Si'an's self-blame.

Ji Si'an looked at Yuan Mu with fiery eyes. "I think, even in my dreams, I want to catch that bastard."

"Then let's cooperate." Yuan Mu stretched out his hand.

Ji Si'an hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand.The two slender hands were tightly held together, and Ji Si'an felt a sense of belonging for the first time.They finally found each other's tree holes, where they could share those sad pasts.

"Muzi Li was transferred to the criminal general case to take charge of this case. I can get the progress of the investigation from him."

Looking at Yuan Mu, Ji Si'an probably guessed the reason why she was drunk. She also submitted the application, right?It appears to have been rejected.

"Now that the criminal investigation technology is so developed, it will be a matter of time before the case is solved." Ji Si'an is full of confidence in this.

"The situation is not as optimistic as you think. This case is the same as the previous cases. The murderer did not leave any traces at the scene... Even if they used the most advanced equipment, they did not find any clues of the murderer." Yuan Mu scratched his short hair said softly.

"Aren't there any clues?" Ji Si'an asked hesitantly.

Yuan Mu handed the notebook to Ji Si'an. "I recorded all the investigation results on it, you can take a look first."

Ji Si'an turned on the bedside lamp, and carefully looked at Yuan Mu's notes under the soft light.

The doors and windows are not damaged...; can enter the scene peacefully at night...; easily approach the deceased and kill the dead with one blow when the other party does not resist...; no property damage...; no sexual assault....

Exclude property infringement, rape, and vendetta?Ji Si'an shook his head.

Yuan Mu seemed to know what Ji Si'an wanted to explain: "They all died around 22 o'clock in the evening, not like robbery, not like rape. If it was theft, this time would be too early. Vendettas are unlikely to enter the scene peacefully. "

An acquaintance committing a crime?These four words jumped out of his brain, and Ji Si'an suddenly looked up at Yuan Mu.

Yuan Mu nodded: "I think it was an acquaintance who committed the crime. So next, I will use my identity as a community police officer to investigate Zhaodi's mother Li Xiangqin's relationship network. Of course, her father's situation must also be investigated."

"Where is Zhaodi? How is she... now?" Ji Si'an asked nervously.

Zhao Di is too important to them now...

Yuan Mu sighed and said, "Zhaodi woke up, but because of lack of oxygen for a long time, she can't remember anything."

Can't remember anything?The only flame of hope was extinguished.Ji Si'an leaned weakly on the seat, she now understands the feelings of those policemen who handled the case back then... "Then... what shall we do next?"

Yuan Mu looked at Ji Si'an hesitantly and said: "I want to put Zhao Di in your place first..."

Ji Si'an instantly understood Yuan Mu's meaning, and she hoped that Zhao Di would remember what happened in the case.I'm afraid this is also one of the reasons why she came to find her today.

"When can I pick her up?" Ji Si'an didn't hesitate.

"I'll talk to the leader first, and we'll take her over when she gets better," Yuan Mu said.
