investigative chronicle

Chapter 24 Slow
It has been nearly two months since the incident, but the progress of the investigation has been extremely slow.Ji Si'an sighed helplessly listening to the cicadas singing.

"We have to be patient." Yang Ningning persuaded.

Patience, the most useless thing is patience.Ji Si'an has been patient for nearly 20 years, what's the use of it, the murderer who killed her mother and sister has still not been found.

Yang Ningning could see Ji Si'an's anxiety. "Zhaodi... seems to distrust me very much."

Yang Ningning's words successfully diverted Ji Si'an's attention. "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that she is unwilling to accept me to give her counseling. I can feel that she will always have reservations when she talks to me. We have said before that the work of a psychological counselor requires the cooperation of the client. My information is completely It comes from her, if she doesn't trust me... I can't help her better." Yang Ningning said tactfully.

"What the hell is she trying to do?" Ji Si'an complained.

Yang Ningning handed her a glass of water. "Don't worry, you can't solve the problem if you are anxious. I suggest you change a consultant. No matter what the reason why Zhaodi doesn't trust me, it can't be solved in the short term. The easiest way is to change people. I can recommend me Teacher, he is very prestigious in this field, I believe he will be able to help you."

"I'll think about it. Thank you."

Ji Si'an came back from Yang Ningning in frustration, but met Yuan Mu on the way.

"Why are you here? Where's Zhaodi?" Ji Si'an asked.

"The community held anti-fraud promotional activities. I asked Zhaodi to come over to help. It would be good for her to get in touch with the society." Yuan Mu explained.

Ji Si'an suppressed the anxiety in his heart.Zhaodi is only 9 years old, and she is still a child. The two of them speak poorly, and they haven't taken her out to play for such a long time.

"What? Are you in a bad mood?" Yuan Mu pulled Ji Si'an to sit on a chair beside the square.

Ji Si'an hasn't decided whether to tell Yuan Mu Yang Ningning's suggestion.She changed the subject and asked, "Is Zhaodi's father still unwilling to come back?"

This question caused Yuan Mu's shoulders to collapse instantly. "Don't mention it, damn it, you will get angry when you mention this beast."

"I used to think he was just patriarchal. As a result, his son hid when something happened, and he didn't want to come back, let alone take care of his daughter."

It seems that Yuan Mu was so angry that he swears.

"Then he can always provide some clues. For example, acquaintances or something?" Ji Si'an was already in a bad mood, and after hearing this, he became even more anxious.

"No. He said that there are no close friends in their family." Yuan Mu said a little weakly.

"You believe this kind of nonsense?" Ji Si'an hiccupped angrily.

"Believe."

Ji Si'an almost jumped up after hearing this answer.Yuan Mu held her back, "At any rate, I'm also a police officer here, and with the recent visits, he can't lie to me."

Ji Si'an forced himself to calm down. "how so?"

"Zhaodi's father is very pretentious. After failing the college entrance examination, he left home alone, trying to prove himself, but encountered reality. He always held his self-esteem as a scholar in his heart, and he was unwilling to associate with people around the simple house. He Treat others as mud legs..., and people don't want to associate with them."

"You can tell by Li Tianlong's outfit." Yuan Mu added.

Ji Si'an thought of Zhaodi in the subway station. "But Zhaodi is not like that."

"That's because Zhaodi is a girl, and he puts all his hopes on Tianlong..." Yuan Mu said.

"If the clue of an acquaintance committing the crime is ruled out, then who else can there be?" Ji Si'an felt that his head was going to grow bigger.

"There must be something we didn't expect..." Even though he said this, Yuan Mu was also very desperate.

Ji Si'an felt more and more depressed, she looked at the darkening sky, and walked towards Zhaodi not far away.

"It's getting late, come home with me first." Ji Si'an said in a bad tone.

"But...but I still want to play for a while." Unexpectedly, Zhao Di rejected Ji Si'an.

"Next time. It's getting late." Ji Si'an was a little impatient.

"I don't want it!" That stubborn Zhaodi seemed to be back.

Ji Si'an's suppressed anger was aroused.She snorted coldly, "Then what do you want? Ah? Tell me what do you want?"

Zhao Di's body trembled slightly, she clenched her fists angrily and glared at Ji Si'an.

"You don't have to stare at me. I'm not your mother! You don't have to lose your temper with me."

"Let me ask you, why didn't you cooperate with the psychiatrist? Why didn't you cooperate?! Do you not want to catch the murderer?" Ji Si'an was exhausted recently, coupled with the accumulation of incidents, she finally broke out.

Just as Yuan Mu pulled Ji Sian away, Zhaodi burst into tears.Now the masses and community workers who participated in the activity gathered around...Yuan Mu apologized embarrassingly while rescuing them from being watched by the crowd.

The accusations from the people around made Ji Si'an's mood worse, she could only hold back her anger desperately, and ran to the rented room quickly...Yuan Mu only felt that his headache was about to split, and he pulled Zhaodi to follow him...What they don't know is that all this is silently recorded by a pair of eyes in the distance.

Ji Si'an locked herself in the kitchen, her long-logged emotions were raging, she tried her best to suppress them, so as not to be pulled into a darker abyss...

"If you are really uncomfortable, just cry out loud. Everyone will feel uncomfortable if you hold back like this." Yuan Mu handed Ji Si'an a towel.

"Zhaodi fell asleep?" Ji Si'an's voice was as rough as gravel.

Yuan Mu nodded and sat beside her, looking at her distressedly. "Don't hold back."

"I'm fine..."

"What did Yang Ningning tell you? Can't Zhaodi recover?" Yuan Mu asked directly.

"She said that Zhaodi didn't cooperate with her.... I can't figure it out..." Ji Si'an knew in her heart that she had passed on her sense of powerlessness to Zhaodi.Because she is also a cowardly person....

"I'm sorry... I'm... sorry today."

"Then let's change to someone else. Anyway, there is hope." Yuan Muqiang tried to comfort her.

"I'll show you a picture." Ji Si'an handed the paper to Yuan Mu.

There are some lines piled up in a corner of the drawing paper. The drawing method is simple and rough, and it looks like it was drawn by a child. "Did Zhaodi draw it?"

Ji Si'an nodded. "Yang Ningning asked her to be a painter. She just drew such a mass of things. This square, dark, and small house is a house. There are no windows, and the only door is black like a monster's mouth... There is another one here. Black eyes seemed to be watching them from the sky."

"The strangest thing is here. She draws a family of four, and she is the one with the obvious long hair, and she is the farthest from the mother, but the closest to the father... Obviously, she has a better relationship with the father than the mother."

"This is Zhaodi? Why is she so small?" Yuan Mu asked.

"Yang Ningning said that this is a reflection of her heart. In her heart, she has infinite inferiority complex, so... she drew herself so small." Ji Si'an explained.

"I think if Zhaodi's father comes, maybe... she can recover." Ji Si'an said.

"No. If she has forgotten everything, she shouldn't remember these things. If this painting is a real reaction..." Yuan Mu didn't finish her sentence, but Ji Si'an already understood what she meant.
