Daji patted his shoulder and said, "You just focus on recovering. County Magistrate Tang will question you later. Just answer his questions truthfully."
Erji looked somewhat dazed as he asked, "Big brother, can this case really be solved?"
He muttered, "It's been twelve years."
Daji reassured him, "It's possible."
Erji then lay down, motionless.
Seeing his elder brother rise to leave, Erji opened his mouth and called out softly, "Brother, does Miss Man truly not hate me?"
Daji sighed, smoothed the quilt with his hand, and said in a low voice, "She doesn't hate you. Miss Man said the fault lies not with you but with the murderer, and that you are also a victim."
Daji paused before adding, "She is a very smart and kind-hearted child."
"Just like her parents?"
Daji nodded and replied, "Exactly, like her parents."
After that, Erji said no more.
