investigative chronicle

Chapter 112 Deadlock
Just when the investigation by the criminal police team was at a standstill, Ji Si'an and Luo Li also encountered a stalemate.

Although they quickly found the address of Lavender Flower Sea, it had been requisitioned five years ago, and now it has become a villa area.

"The aunt just said that there used to be a store selling lavender essential oil here. It seems that the house is indeed a store." Ji Si'an walked to Luo Li and said.

"Ten years is enough to change a lot of things. Even if we find out here, there is no way to continue." Luo Li said dejectedly.

"The store can ask Yuan Mu to investigate. It's just... if the murderer is an employee of the store, it's okay, but if he's just a customer who came to buy essential oils..., this clue will be broken."

Ji Si'an took out his notebook and gently crossed out the words Lavender Manor.She tapped the next one with a pen and said, "August 2006, 8, what does this mean? The city god was very peaceful on this day, and nothing special happened at all."

Luo Li sighed: "There are two possibilities, one is that something happened but the news was not reported; the other is that we guessed the meaning of the wrong date."

Ji Si'an felt that they were like two ants in a maze, constantly groping for a way out, but bumped into walls everywhere.

"Time makes many things disappear with the passage of time. Those clues, those traces, even memories... We wish we could come here sooner." Luo Li sighed with self-blame and guilt.

"There must be something we haven't noticed. If Yang Xiu can find out, we can do it too." Ji Si'an didn't want Luo Li to be in the pain of self-blame.

"You said... How about I go for hypnosis? Maybe I can think of something." Luo Li said half-jokingly.

"No. When we are hurt, our body will start to protect itself, just like the scars after cutting the skin... Our minds will also create these scars to protect us. It's just that the things wrapped inside are better than the skin wrapped It is hundreds of times more powerful. If it is released rashly, the destructive power is not something we can all bear. It may tear everything you have rebuilt so easily, so that you can no longer be spliced ​​​​to become a complete person ...."

Seeing Ji Si'an's horrible words, Luo Li was about to tease her, but saw her solemn expression, her eyes full of worry.

"Where did you hear so many strange knowledge points...."

Ji Si'an was silent, and after a while he replied softly: "From the book."

At this moment, Ji Si'an looked extremely lonely.Although she was very close to her, Luo Li felt as if she would never be able to touch her.

She thought her story was sad enough, but compared with Ji Si'an's, it was not as good.

"I promise you, I won't touch those scars. You promise me, too, okay?" Thinking of Ji Si'an's regular travel time every week, Luo Li guessed her whereabouts.

"Don't worry, I have my own measure." Ji Si'an turned his head to the side, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic anymore.

Luo Li still wanted to persuade.Ji Si'an's cell phone rang at this moment.

"Don't talk, listen to me." Ji Si'an answered the phone, the voice on the other end was familiar yet unfamiliar.

Chen Sen?Ji Si'an just wanted to say the other party's name.The other end of the phone continued: "You are being followed."

Ji Si'an looked around in a panic.

"Stay still, he's behind you."

"Don't panic. You pretend nothing happened, go to a crowded place, and leave the rest to me."

After speaking, Chen Sen hung up the phone.

Seeing that Ji Si'an answered the phone without saying a word, Luo Li was a little puzzled.Ji Si'an pulled her up and said, "There are clues, let's go to the building in front and ask that aunt."

Luo Li thought there was a clue, so she followed Ji Si'an excitedly. "What clue? Don't be a secret and tell me quickly."

"Follow up with the aunt in front first. Otherwise, they will enter the building." Ji Si'an pulled Luo Li to speed up her pace.

The two of them finally entered the corridor before the door closed.Ji Si'an stood where she was and did not continue to follow her aunt's footsteps.

"What's wrong?" Luo Li realized something was wrong.

"We are being followed." Ji Si'an was so nervous that his hands and feet were cold.

"Then... what should we do now?" Luo Li subconsciously hugged Ji Si'an's arm.

"Find a floor to hide first, and leave later."

"Why don't we call the police," Luo Li said.

"Wait a little longer." Ji Si'an looked at the phone.She has an inexplicable trust in Chen Sen.

"Who is calling?" Luo Li was curious about the caller.

Ji Si'an hesitated and said his name. "Chen Sen."

"That little bastard?" Luo Li blurted out.

"What bastard? He has a serious job." Ji Si'an didn't know why she unconsciously defended Chen Sen.

Luo Li sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to ask further.Ji Si'an's cell phone rang just in time.

"Come out, he's gone." Chen Sen on the other end of the phone gasped.

"That kid slipped pretty fast." Chen Sen complained as soon as they met.

"How did you know he was following us? And... why are you here?" Before Ji Si'an could speak, Luo Li blocked her behind and asked like a knife.

"Me? I'm here to help the boss get things, and I just happened to see you. How could I expect to see you standing there stupidly, and you didn't even know you were being followed." Chen Sen said with a curled lip.

Luo Li couldn't understand his swaying legs, and wanted to say something to him, but was stopped by Ji Si'an.

"Who is following us?"

Ji Si'an's question successfully diverted Luo Li's attention.

"I don't know. Anyway, it's a man, very thin, with black-rimmed glasses, and looks gloomy. He doesn't look like a good person."

"That guy runs very fast, and I'm not familiar with this place, otherwise I'd have to beat him up." Chen Sen kept emphasizing that the other guy ran fast, like a little boy with inferior skills and a stubborn mouth.

"According to what you describe, there are so many men like this on the street, they are useless at all." Luo Li complained.

"Hey... you... I'm kind enough to help you, what are you talking about?" Chen Sen was very dissatisfied with Luo Li's attitude.

"Is there anything else?" Ji Si'an said coldly.

Chen Sen looked at her and guessed from her indifferent expression that if he had nothing to say, she was leaving.

"I was careful, just now when I found out that he was following you, I secretly took a picture of him." Chen Sen was afraid that Ji Si'an would leave, so he immediately handed over his mobile phone.

"What? Why didn't you say it earlier." Luo Li anxiously grabbed the phone.

Ji Si'an seemed calm, but his heart was beating extremely fast.She was afraid that Chen Sen would find out about her, so she quickly leaned towards Luo Li and diverted her attention by looking at the photos on the phone.

"This person...is Zhao Jun." Luo Li and Ji Si'an said in unison.

"You know each other? Is he chasing you? This guy wants to plot something wrong?!"

Seeing that Chen Sen was getting more and more outrageous, they interrupted him.

Ji Si'an explained: "He is a related person in our case investigation."

"It's just why he followed us?" This question lingered in their hearts.

"He must know something. How about we meet him again?" Luo Li suggested.

Chen Sen scratched his head anxiously at the dangerous idea of ​​wanting to stop them, but he didn't know how to persuade them.
