Gone with the Wind 微暗之火 Episode 1

In the last ten seconds of the countdown, Qingshui Town ushered in the Millennium Eve. The explosions and burning sounds of fireworks and the cheers of people complemented each other, forming a unique picture that filled every corner. Some people were running barefoot, with tears streaming down their faces; some were running away in panic, hugging their children tightly; others were slumped on a chair, with blood on their hands, looking in horror at the man with a dagger stuck in his chest, who had already lost his breath.

Criminal investigation expert Lin Fanglu is a top student who came out of Qingshui Town. After graduation, he received the attention of his mentor Chen Guoying and rose to prominence all the way. However, for the sake of his future promotion, Chen Guoying arranged for him to return to Qingshui Town for two years of training. Lin Fanglu hoped to change places on the grounds that his acquaintance relationship was not good enough to start work. Chen Guoying reminded him that no matter where he was, he was in a society of acquaintances. As long as he was willing to work hard, they would get married when his daughter Wen Ting graduated.

In the end, Lin Fanglu went to Qingshui Town to take up his post with a heavy heart, met the captain Liu Yingxiong and other colleagues, and took over a murder case that happened not long ago. According to information available to the police, the deceased Xu Yi was an entrepreneur from Qingshui Town. He was killed by his wife on Millennium Eve. The murder weapon was a dagger, and the wounds were mainly concentrated on the front and back. At present, the suspect Nanya has surrendered, and Lin Fanglu fell silent when he saw Nanya's photo, because this person turned out to be his former classmate.

Nanya told the police about her experience of domestic violence by Xu Yi for many years. She once wanted to divorce, but Xu Yi used his daughter Wanwan as a threat. Over the years, Nanya has tried various methods, but to no avail. It was not until she accidentally learned the inside story of the bridge case that she discovered that Xu Yi and the others had modified the plan without authorization and cut corners, causing the bridge to collapse and kill two workers.

Nanya originally planned to use this to negotiate with Xu Yi, but Xu Yi suddenly became furious and went crazy. In desperation, Nanya brandished a knife in self-defense and accidentally stabbed Xu Yi to death. During the follow-up investigation, the police learned that the crime scene was witnessed by a witness named Zhou Luo. He was a repeat student of Huashan High School. Because he moved around frequently in the neighborhood, he did not report the crime to the police station until six o'clock after the incident.

Shi Leshan, a police officer on duty, recalled that Zhou Luo was relatively calm when he reported the crime. He first made a phone call and then came to the police station accompanied by his parents. His description of the crime scene basically matched Nanya's. Soon, the news of Nanya's murder spread throughout Qingshui Town. Considering that Zhou Luo was a witness, the school persuaded him to go home and rest for the sake of his mental health.

In addition to Xu Yi's body, the police also found a burned car. The cause of the fire is still unclear. Preliminary speculation is that it was earlier than the time of the crime. During the process of investigating the scene, Lin Fanglu had a disagreement with the experienced criminal police officer Lao Chen. Lao Chen had a negative evaluation of Nanya and subjectively believed that she had the motive of intentional murder.

In fact, Nanya's reputation in Nanping Town is not good. She is the most beautiful woman in the town and the focus of gossip and gossip. After Nanya was arrested, his daughter Wanwan was left alone. Lao Chen took Lin Fanglu to find Nanya's stepmother Hu Xiu to discuss adoption matters, but Hu Xiu spoke harshly to her as soon as she mentioned Nanya, as if there was something between them. Deep hatred.

Later, Lin Fanglu went to see Nanya and expressed his intention to send Wanwan to the county welfare home. Nanya hoped that Lin Guixiang could help take care of the child for a while, and told Lin Fanglu that the child was sick and could not withstand the hardship. Fortunately, Lin Guixiang was very warm and kind. Not only was she willing to take in the child, she also declined Lin Fanglu's money. When mentioning Nanya, Lin Guixiang had a good impression of her.

At this time, classmates Chen Jun, Zhang Qingli and Jiang Bingbing came to Zhou Luo to confirm again and again whether he saw Nanya kill Xu Yi with his own eyes. Jiang Bingbing was worried that the police would find clues from Xu Yi's car, but Chen Jun hurriedly interrupted her and warned her not to tell about it. While they were talking, Lin Fanglu came to the room to ask Zhou Luo about the situation. Zhou Luo's answer was impeccable, and his excessive calmness made Lin Fanglu suspicious.

After the classmates left, Zhang Qingli went back and asked why Zhou Luo lied to the police when he was not at home. At the same time, Lin Fanglu noticed that there was a room for rent on the second floor of Zhou's house. After observing the surrounding environment, he decided to rent the room and move here tonight, which surprised Lin Guixiang.

Zhou Luo took Zhang Qingli to the Internet cafe and explained that he was surfing the Internet that night because he was afraid that his private connection to the Internet would be discovered by the police, so he hid the matter. With the time on the plane as proof, Zhang Qingli was convinced and took the initiative to apologize to Zhou Luo. Zhou Luo believed that Nanya was a poor person. If the fault between her and Xu Yi was investigated, everything should be handed over to the police and the law. deal with.

Lao Chen suspected that Nanya was not acting in self-defense and conducted a fatigue interrogation on her, but Lin Fanglu stopped it in time. The two had an argument again. Lao Chen was stubborn and Lin Fanglu did not give in. In the evening, Zhou Luo helped Lin Fanglu clean up the room. Lin Fanglu took the opportunity to ask Zhou Luo if he felt resentment because he was beaten by Xu Yi. Zhou Luo did not respond positively when he heard this. That night, the two of them had their own thoughts. Zhou Luo looked through the poetry collection on his desk and fixed his eyes on the last page, which contained Nanya's library card from five years ago.
