Chapter 38 Investigation
Yuan Mu hesitated for a while before saying, "You seemed to be speechless at that time, and didn't say anything."

After hearing Yuan Mu's words, Ji Si'an was stunned for a long time, she didn't know it was like this.

"It's normal. You were frightened. And we speculate that you were sleeping at the time. It's hard to say whether you saw the attack or not. In addition to your head trauma, it's lucky that you didn't have any sequelae..." Yuan Mu Explained in a rambling manner.

"I... didn't I leave any clues?" Ji Si'an sighed.

"By the way, this is the drawing you doodled on the paper. I took it secretly, take a look." Yuan Mu handed her the phone.

Ji Si'an looked at the black clumps on the paper, feeling a little depressed. He couldn't even make out a single line of what it was.

"Back then, the Chenghuang Criminal Police Team invited psychological experts. They suggested that you draw a picture, and maybe you could find clues from it. As a result... you drew this.... I don't blame you, you are too young to take a pen It’s not good, it’s impossible to draw it.” Yuan Mu felt that his presence not only didn’t help Ji Si’an, but instead made her feel bad, and she blamed herself.

"These two black blobs... do they look like eyes..." Before he finished speaking, Ji Si'an put down the phone decadently.She herself felt that it was too far-fetched, and this abstract painting was of no help to solve the case.

Afterwards, they fell into a long silence.It wasn't until the light in the room dimmed that Ji Si'an came back to his senses, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll get you something to eat."

"No, I have to go back to the team. You are busy with your work, don't worry about me." Yuan Mu was about to leave after saying that.

Two people who are not good at words will face such an embarrassment when they get together. Except that the same experience and persistence in solving the case can make them have something to talk about, there is really nothing to talk about.After sending Yuan Mu away, Ji Si'an breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at the notebook and secretly decided to find a way from herself.

The cotton sofa was very soft, and Ji Si'an lay on it with her eyes closed, and the faint scent of flowers made her feel very relaxed.

"Want some music?" Yang Ningning's voice was soft.

"No, that's fine. I'm really sorry to make you work overtime." Ji Si'an said apologetically.

"You're welcome."

"You...have you really thought about it?" Yang Ningning sat next to her.

"Think it over." Ji Si'an nodded with a relaxed expression.

"Then let's start." Yang Ningning didn't hesitate at all.

Her self-confidence reassures Ji Si'an.She confidently handed herself over to Yang Ningning, and entered a hypnotic state under her guidance.

Ji Si'an came to the door of a house with a golden 506 sign on the dark brown door.She looked up at the number and felt a little weird.She hesitated for a moment, but with Yang Ningning's encouragement, she pushed open the door...

The light in the house was dark, she walked in and stepped on the soft carpet, trying to turn on the light, but found that the switch was far away from her.She's shrunk... back to her three-year-old self.

Ji Si'an opened the door of the room to the maximum, and walked slowly into the house by the light outside.The sound of water in the bathroom is very loud, it seems that someone is taking a shower.She continued to walk in, and her sister was lying quietly on the double bed with a doll, wondering if she was asleep.She continued to walk into the house, the lavender curtains fluttered slightly, and there seemed to be someone inside...

Under the guidance of Yang Ningning, Ji Si'an walked towards the curtains, she stretched out her little hand to open the curtains, but was startled by what she saw and woke up screaming.

Yang Ningning didn't rush to ask her what she saw, but wiped the sweat off her face with a soft towel.

Ji Si'an grabbed Yang Ningning's hand. "I saw a face on the window... taped to it."

"The eyes are very round, bulging like light bulbs. Round, all round, the head is round, and the nose is also round..."

Yang Ningning patted her on the back lightly. "Don't worry. The previous memories are hidden in the corners of the brain, plus all kinds of information are mixed. In this case, it is not easy for you to find that house."

Ji Si'an nodded tremblingly, not knowing at all.She didn't know which ones she imagined and which ones were real.

"In my dream, the floor...was brown and wooden. My sister...she was lying on the ground with her doll...and my mother was on the bed...but the pictures Yuan Mu showed me were on the floor of the hotel. Carpeted, sister... lying on the bed, mother... on the floor."

"It's different every time.... I just saw it differently...."

Yang Ningning handed Ji Si'an a glass of warm water. "It may be the confusion of the scene. As I said before, most of the memories before the age of 3 are stored in the brain in the form of pictures. During this period, our language function is not fully developed, and there is no systematic way of memory. Those pictures Just scattered in the depths of the brain, and even entangled with the information you come into contact with later. We not only need to obtain these distant memories but also identify and distinguish these information. This is a long-term work, you can't be too anxious."

"In addition, I don't recommend that you immerse yourself in thinking about this matter repeatedly. Not only will your nightmares not help you much, but it will make you fall into even more confusion."

"Actually, I think what you need most now is to get out of that past. You have to understand that all this is not your fault. We can't change what happened. You can only accept it..."

Ji Si'an understands Yang Ningning's kindness, it's not that she never thought of giving up, but when she thinks that only she is alive, she feels a deep sense of guilt.

It was completely dark when he came back from Yang Ningning's psychological clinic. Walking on the brightly lit street, Ji Si'an was not afraid of the night for the first time.Is this the sense of security brought by urban areas?She sighed and walked slowly towards home.

When Luo Li called, she was planning to visit the small shop next door. "Why haven't you come back yet? I've been waiting for you until the flowers are gone."

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came over, I'll go back right away." Ji Si'an hung up the phone and walked quickly to the Huayuan community.She hasn't felt the feeling of being cared for for a long time.

When Ji Si'an opened the door, Luo Li was lying on the sofa and eating an apple.Seeing Ji Si'an coming back, she immediately jumped up from the sofa. "I have good news for you, I took a big case today."

"Really? That's great." Ji Si'an was sincerely happy for her.

"My friend's friend said that their company has encountered a little problem recently. It happened that it was a small company without its own legal counsel, so I volunteered to take this case." Luo Li walked around excitedly and shared with Ji Si'an excitedly Get every detail of this case.

Ji Si'an looked at Luo Li, whose cheeks were slightly flushed and her eyes were shining, and was really happy for her.Although they all understand that taking the case is only a small step, but even this small step is not easy for them.

"When we become famous in the future, we can build our own team and take on more and bigger cases. Then we should be able to earn a lot of money..."

Luo Li was thinking about the future, and the more she said, the more outrageous she was, but Ji Si'an didn't interrupt her. Such a dream is relaxing and comfortable, so it's okay to get drunk once in a while.
