investigative chronicle

"Officer, will I be sentenced too much?" All Wang Qiang's focus was on his sentence.

"Pretend to be someone else and go to jail... What do you think?"

"If you don't add two or three years, it will be cheaper for you."

The master was keenly aware of Wang Qiang's psychology, and directly stated the consequences to increase the pressure on him.

Hearing the master's words, Wang Qiang leaned on the table and sniffed, feeling very depressed.

"On July 2000, 7, were you the one who stole from Chenghuang##Hotel?"

"it's me."

"Did you kill the person?"

"I didn't kill anyone! Although I was a petty thief, I never dared to kill people." Wang Qiang excitedly defended himself.

"Then why did you leave City God?" The master's eyes became sharp.

"I... I... I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of? Afraid that we will catch you?" Muzi Li answered.

"I'm just afraid...you think of me as a murderer..." Wang Qiang said a little excitedly.

"Why do we treat you as a murderer? What else do you not explain?"

Wang Qiang's erratic eyes were obviously hiding something.

"If the information you said is useful to us, there is a chance to apply for a commutation of sentence for major meritorious service." The master threw out the most attractive conditions.

"Really?" Wang Qiang still hesitated.

"Of course it is true. You have been in so many times, and the relevant policies should be clear." The master answered him affirmatively.

Wang Qiang clasped his hands tightly, and after being silent for a while, he opened his mouth slowly.

"I stole things from the hotel that night, and threw the worthless keys and room cards in a nearby trash can..."

"I wanted to smoke not long after I walked out, but I couldn't find it in my pocket. I thought I accidentally threw away the cigarette when I was throwing the room card, so I went back to check."

"I saw a man digging through the trash can. I hid in the dark and saw him take something from it. I thought it was a homeless person nearby, so I didn't pay attention."

"But the news of a homicide in the hotel came out the next day... The more I thought about it, the more something was wrong. The direction the man left last night was the direction to the hotel. So I quietly went back to the trash can to check, and found that What the person took away at night was the key card of room 506."

"I was terrified. I was worried that I would be followed by that person during the theft, and I was worried that I would be regarded as a murderer... I didn't tell the police about this."

If what Wang Qiang said was true, that man might be the murderer.

"What's the use of telling such an important clue if you didn't say it then?!" Li Muzi was furious.

"Officer...I'm scared. I'm afraid that I'll be regarded as a murderer.... That case is so big, I'm afraid...that you won't be able to withstand the pressure and put the blame on me." Wang Qiang lowered his head guiltyly. .

Li Muzi wanted to have a fit, but was stopped by his master.

"Do you still remember the characteristics of that man? Can you describe his appearance, height, body shape, etc.?"

Wang Qiang shook his head and said in a muffled voice, "I didn't see clearly...it's too dark."

"You want to do meritorious deeds and reduce your sentence? I wonder if this is a trick to deceive us." Li Muzi raised his eyebrows and almost slapped the table.

"No... I'm telling the truth, officer."

"That person is so much taller than the trash can." Wang Qiang gestured and said, "About 1 meters."

"That's how he holds things..." Wang Qiang stood up and imitated the man's movements.

"Do this action again." The master looked at him thoughtfully.

"Are you sure he checked the room card like this?"

"Well, sure."

This time Wang Qiang gave a very positive answer.

When he came out of the prison, Li Muzi couldn't help but said: "This person should not be the murderer."

The master frowned and said nothing.

"The wounds in the autopsy report showed that the murderer was right-handed. The person Wang Qiang saw turning over the trash can was left-handed." Li Muzi continued.

But the time and place were all right, and that person only took away the room card of 506... It's too much of a coincidence....

There are many doubts about this person... Unfortunately, in the past nearly 20 years, it has been too difficult to find this person.

I thought this investigation would lead to a breakthrough in the case, but I didn't expect it to be a dead end.In this way, the murder case of Ji Si'an's mother and sister was temporarily put on hold.

……

The days in the hospital passed quickly. In the super-heated ward, before Ji Si'an could feel the cold of winter, spring came quietly.

When Meilin and Luo Li picked her up and left the hospital, the sun was just right, and just wearing a coat was enough to cope with the slight coolness brought by the spring breeze.

Walk around the gate of hell, and see everything is beautiful.Ever since he came out of the hospital, the smile on Ji Si'an's face never faded.

If it weren't for the overly pale face and lackluster voice, others would have thought she had just returned from a trip.

"What are your plans next?" Meilin asked as she handed Ji Si'an a bowl of chicken soup.

"I want to go home and have a look." Ji Si'an's words made Luo Li stop what she was doing.

They were not familiar with each other during college, but it was also heard that she seldom went home.Since working, Ji Si'an has not been home even once.

She didn't understand at first, but after learning about Ji Si'an's past, she realized how difficult it was for her.If her father and stepmother treated her like that, she would not want to go back, or even go to extremes, maybe she wanted to sever the relationship between father and daughter.

Now Ji Si'an suddenly wanted to go home... This made Luo Li feel bad.

"I'm fine, it's just that after going through this life and death, I feel... I feel that there are many things that blindly avoiding is not an option. After all, it's my father... If I keep being so stiff, I... I'm worried that I will regret it in the future."

The filial piety engraved in the bones, the poems and books of "the son wants to support but the relatives will not wait for him".She was suddenly very scared, afraid that one day she would regret it...

"Although our relationship is weak..., I did my best, just trying to have a clear conscience."

At this time, Ji Si'an is contradictory. On the one hand, she cannot forgive her father, but on the other hand, she feels that he is her father no matter what.

And she has another important purpose for going back this time, and that is to see the old house.

Mei Lin and Luo Li did not stop Ji Si'an, who had made up her mind.They helped her buy a train ticket, then sent her to the train station, and repeatedly told her to pay attention to safety on the road and take care of herself.Ji Si'an embarked on the journey back to his hometown in the spring of this year.

My hometown has changed a lot, and I can hardly find my childhood memories along the way.Fortunately, the Internet is now developed, and Ji Si'an found the bus back home by relying on the navigation.

The car stopped at the entrance of the village, and the road back to the village was in front of him, but Ji Si'an seemed a little cramped.Although it was the busy farming season, there were still many old people and children chatting and taking a nap at the entrance of the village and in the streets and alleys. Facing the scrutinizing eyes of the people in the village, Ji Si'an moved his feet numbly towards the alley of his home.

When she was young, she was very afraid of such a scene. In her eyes, those grandparents, uncles and aunts all looked similar, and their generations were even more diverse. She couldn't remember which ones were called aunts, which ones were called grandmas, and some were older than herself. Many people still call her aunt....

If she left without saying hello, they would definitely find grandma the next day and tell her in private how unmannered she was....As a result, she seldom went out later, and when she met people chatting as a last resort, she also uniformly said hello and ran away after saying "you are staying here".

Often the people in the group chat couldn't figure out who she was greeting, so it passed with such ambiguity.
