Chapter 21 Murder
The next day, as soon as Ji Si'an arrived at the office, Luo Li couldn't wait to ask her: "How is it? Is Chinese medicine very powerful?"

Ji Si'an looked at Luo Li gratefully, unexpectedly, the only person who cared about her body was her. "He is very skilled in medicine, and I slept much better after taking the medicine."

"Let me see." Luo Li picked up Ji Si'an's face and looked at it for a while and muttered, "Why are the dark circles still so heavy?"

"Old problems can't be remedied by a good night's sleep, take your time." Ji Si'an took her little hand down and said softly.

"It's a good start." Luo Li sat down, opened the breakfast on the table and handed Ji Si'an a copy.

"Have you heard? The incident of eating dead people in a restaurant near your house...may be turned into a criminal case." Luo Li said while eating.

"What?" Ji Si'an obviously didn't believe it. "Are you talking about Li Tianlong's case?"

"I don't remember the name. It's the case of the little boy who ate expired ketchup to death." Luo Li said.

"So the owner did it on purpose?" Ji Si'an saw the face of the proprietress in Ji Si'an's mind, her gentle appearance, and her hostile appearance kept changing.

"It's all on the news... You guys should be careful. The resources we have as lawyers are the most important. We should pay more attention to such sensational cases. It would be best if we can accept representation, and if we can't, it would be good to learn more experience." " Luo Li pointed out.

Ji Si'an obviously hasn't gotten over the shock of the news, so she ignores Luo Li's point.

Luo Li nodded Ji Si'an's eyebrows: "Be careful, you can't always rely on the resources of Lawyer He. One day we will find cases independently."

"Yes. I know, I will work hard." Ji Si'an replied seriously.

After Luo Li left, Ji Si'an carefully read the news about Li Tianlong's case many times.How can the police prove that the proprietress did it on purpose?This question troubled her all day, until she met Yuan Mu after get off work, and the puzzle was finally solved.

"Has Li Tianlong's case been turned into a criminal case?" Ji Si'an glanced at Zhao Di who was doing homework alone in the house, and whispered in Yuan Mu's ear.

Yuan Mu nodded.

"Is there any evidence?" Ji Si'an asked.

"Yes, the laboratory found a small amount of acephate in the tomato sauce." Yuan Mu said in a low voice.

"What?" Ji Si'an didn't know the chemical name at all.

"Acephate...is...it's in the medicine used to kill insects. It's in the cockroach medicine." Yuan Mu explained softly.

Cockroach medicine... the proof is deadly.If the ketchup is only expired, it can be said that the food sold by the proprietress is substandard, but there is cockroach medicine in it... Whether the amount is fatal or not, her subjective intention has changed.

"Does Zhaodi's father know? Will he come back?" Ji Si'an asked.

"Now the news is very hyped, I guess he should know..." Yuan Mu stopped before finishing speaking.

Ji Si'an understood something when she looked at her eyes, she turned around and found that Zhao Di was standing behind her...This little girl walks like a cat. When she walked behind her, she didn't notice at all.

Yuan Mu didn't know how much Zhaodi had listened to their conversation.She bit the bullet and stepped forward: "Our Zhaodi finished homework so quickly. Come, let me check for you."

Zhao Di turned slightly to avoid Yuan Mu's overstretched hand, and looked at her stubbornly. "Is my dad coming back?"

Yuan Mu said in embarrassment: "I don't know if he will come back."

"You...remember your father?" Ji Si'an asked.

Zhaodi lowered her head: "I don't remember what he looks like...but you said...he might come back."

Yuan Mu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Zhaodi didn't hear much.Ji Si'an looked at Zhaodi but thoughtfully.

"I feel that when Zhaodi talks about her father... there are emotional fluctuations. I always feel that Zhaodi seems to remember him." At night, Ji Si'an deliberately left Yuan Mu behind and said to her.

"Her father had domestic violence against her. If she remembered him, she should be afraid, not this kind of admiration." Yuan Mu and Ji Si'an had different ideas.

"Yuan Mu... We can't go on like this. It's been almost a month, if the murderer is really worried about Zhao Di, he should have done it long ago." Ji Si'an said.

"What do you mean?" Yuan Mu asked nervously.

"I mean the murderer may have known about Zhaodi's memory loss, so he didn't do it for a long time."

"We can't be so passive anymore. We need to be proactive," Ji Si'an said.

"How to take the initiative?" Yuan Mu asked.

"Look for a psychiatrist to find a way to help Zhaodi recover her memory."

Yuan Mu wanted to refute.But Ji Si'an interrupted her and continued: "Besides, Zhaodi's current mental state must see a doctor."

She told Yuan Mu about Zhaodi's sleepwalking.Yuan Mu was also very nervous. On the one hand, she was afraid that Zhaodi would leave psychological trauma, and on the other hand, she was also worried about Ji Si'an's safety.

"Okay, tomorrow I will report the situation to the team and let them make arrangements." Yuan Mu said.

"I have another question, about Li Tianlong's case...how did the proprietress put the cockroach medicine in the tomato sauce?" Ji Si'an asked in a low voice.

Yuan Mu looked at Ji Si'an puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"I've bought burgers from that store, and their ketchup comes in bags. How did the lady boss put the cockroach medicine in there?"

"Also, the store's ketchup is served in a large bowl on the counter. How can she guarantee that the drugged ketchup will be taken away by Zhao Di and the others... In case other customers take it away If you eat it, you will have problems..."

Yuan Mu lowered his head in thought. "The criminal police team has extracted relevant evidence, and there are surveillance videos in the store. I believe the results of the investigation will be released soon."

Ji Si'an breathed a sigh of relief, she asked the questions she thought of, and left the rest to the police to investigate.

Originally the conversation ended here, but Yuan Mu hesitated and refused to leave.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Ji Si'an asked proactively.

Yuan Mu squeezed his hands a little embarrassedly. "Xiao An...how about I stay with you. I'm still worried about your safety..."

Ji Si'an looked at his little house and sighed: "Look at where there is still room in my house... Don't worry, there are people from the team to protect outside."

Yuan Mu shook hands and did not answer for a long time.Ji Si'an immediately understood: "The guards in the team...are they going to withdraw?"

Yuan Mu subconsciously shook his head but whispered: "Not yet, but...they have this intention."

Ji Si'an had already been psychologically prepared for this outcome, so she was not too surprised by Yuan Mu's words.

"Zhaodi lived with me for nearly a month.... They have so many cases at hand, they can't always stay here. Besides, the murderer may have left long ago, so it's impossible to stay here." Ji Si'an said.

Ji Si'an advised Yuan Mu not to blame herself, but the more she behaved like this, the more uncomfortable Yuan Mu felt.

But what they don't know is that Zhaodi in the bedroom is not asleep, she has been listening to their whispered discussion...
