neo4j creates another same instance on selecting data - neo4j

Question

The structure of my nodes are like this:
==> | Node[613]{name:"The Bigos",fs_id:"51a8e1a12fc6e7ef6d121077"}
==> | Node[614]{name:"Maceraperest",fs_id:"51bafb3d498ed54bd4c7fa8c"}
==> | Node[616]{name:"Viking",fs_id:"51bafe1de4b090ea9dceb20e"}
==> | Node[618]{name:"Metro Gross Market",fs_id:"51bb426c498e47af428ca013"}
When I try to create these nodes again, a php script I wrote checks on fs_id to find that if the node already exists or not. If it exists, it returns me the node and does not create a new one.
Now the problem is that even though it does not create new nodes, the console shows me that it did.

Look at the node ids, they are same! And if I explore the node 618 for example in the data browser, it returns me a single node. Also the query
start n=node(618) return n;
also returns single row. But the query below returns multiple rows of same node id and the row count is increasing when I test the above nodes for existence.
start n=node(331) match n-[:BEEN]->(venues) return venues order by id(venues);
It might be nothing but I'm curious that if somehow Neo4j is eating extra memory for doing this or it is just something like caching system.

You probably just have multiple BEEN relationships, then each of those relationships yields another result row.
If you just have one row per venue do this:
start n=node(331)
match n-[:BEEN]->(venues)
return distinct venues;
to see the different relationships, use:
start n=node(331)
match n-[rel:BEEN]->(venues)
return venues,collect(rel);
