After a moment of shock and pain, Zhou Luo calmed down, took off his coat, and smeared Xu Yi's blood on himself, intending to take the blame for Nanya. Nanya strongly objected after hearing this. At the same time, people in the square were counting down to witness this historic New Year's Eve. No one noticed that a murder was taking place in the town.
Zhou Luo patiently comforted Nanya and asked her to tell the ins and outs of the incident and plan a way to escape guilt. The truth turned out to be that Xu Yi refused to divorce and threatened to take away Wanwan. Nanya couldn't bear it and decided to settle it tonight. . Nanya told Xu Yi that evidence of his crime had been photographed, which angered Xu Yi to commit domestic violence again until he lost control of his emotions and wanted to kill Nanya. In desperation, Nanya picked up a dagger and stabbed Xu Yi in the back. As a result, Xu Yi accidentally died while chasing Nanya.
Nanya originally didn't want to involve Zhou Luo, but Zhou Luo insisted again and again, and even held Nanya in his arms, looking forward to the beautiful future. When Nanya heard Zhou Luo mention Wanwan, she suddenly realized that the child could not live without her mother, and finally accepted Zhou Luo's arrangement. Since spots would appear on the body within two hours, Zhou Luo had no time to rehearse with Nanya, so he hurriedly took off his sweater and put it in his bag, intending to rush back to the riverside to look for an opportunity to send Wanwan over. Before leaving, he told Nanya to keep the record in mind. Post the incident in preparation for making a statement to the police later.
However, Xu Jian's phone call unexpectedly interrupted Zhou Luo's plan. Zhou Luo felt that the police would notice the time of the call and conduct an in-depth investigation into the cause of Xu Yi's death, so he put on Xu Yi's coat and staged a scene of fighting with Nanya in the alley in order to hide his identity. People in the square saw the shadow reflected on the wall and talked about it.
At the same time, Liu Xun and Chen Ling burned Xu Yi's car, and Chen Jun witnessed the departure of Zhou Luo and Nanya. On the way back to the river, Zhou Luo saw the burning car and threw Xu Yi's bag into the fire. When he heard Zhang Huashan's voice behind him, he hurriedly fled the scene without looking back. However, Lin Guixiang happened to see this scene, but he could not be sure that it was Zhou Luo himself. Zhang Qingli stopped Zhou Luo halfway, intending to express his feelings. Zhou Luo had no intention of entangled and accidentally pushed her to the ground, which made her extremely sad.
Then Zhou Luo returned to the stall out of breath and insisted on sending Wanwan home. In fact, he took her home first and went to find Nanya when the time was almost up. In this quiet night, Zhou Luo left the scene of the crime in a panic as planned. After Nanya left, she went to the Qingshui Town Police Station to surrender alone.
Now that Zhou Luo has been summoned by the police for more than twelve hours, which means that he is about to be released, Lin Fanglu can only make a desperate bet on the relationship between Nanya and Zhou Luo. That night, Chen Ling found Nanya to inform her of Hu Xiu's death, and sat with her outside the door drinking and talking. After six years of feuding, the former best friends finally showed signs of reconciliation.
Chen Ling said that she knew that Xu Yi killed Hu Lifan because he killed people for Nanya, so Nanya pledged her life to him. But Chen Ling was curious about the reason for Nanya's divorce and whether she had ever loved Xu Yi. Nanya said that she was afraid of Xu Yi and felt pity for Xu Yi. She once felt that she owed each other, but the facts turned out to be irreversible. The two started on the wrong path from the beginning. direction.
Looking back on the past, Chen Ling lamented that fate had played a trick on people. Two people who were not supposed to be love rivals became love rivals by accident. Now that the culprit is dead, Chen Ling and Nanya get drunk and forget their grudges, becoming strangers who owe each other nothing. When parting, Chen Ling deliberately told Nanya that the police had discovered suspicions about Xu Yi's knife edge, and Zhou Luo had confessed.
As soon as these words came out, Nanya completely lost her judgment. She came to the criminal police team early in the morning and confessed that she had personally killed Xu Yi and used Zhou Luo to fake the scene of self-defense. Lao Chen didn't believe Nanya's words at all, knowing full well that Nanya did this to protect Zhou Luo, and Lin Fanglu felt equally uncomfortable.
Twenty-four hours later, Zhou Luo signed it himself under the watchful eyes of Lao Chen and Lin Fanglu. Lao Chen told Zhou Luo to go back and study hard in school, but Zhou Luo suddenly revealed that Nanya had confessed, which shocked Zhou Luo. He finally gave up the chance of freedom and took the initiative to tell the truth.
When everyone was celebrating New Year's Eve, Zhou Luo disguised himself as Xu Yi and pulled Nanya into a fight scene. The two faced each other with tears in their eyes and kissed passionately, releasing all their inner emotions without any trace of desire. Lin Fanglu seemed to have witnessed this scene with his own eyes. He was shocked by their love and could not calm down for a long time.
Ending one:
That night, Lin Fanglu sat by the river in despair, telling Lao Chen the story of his mother's domestic violence. Back then, Lin Fanglu almost became a murderer to protect his mother, but now he unintentionally became the driving force behind Nanya and Zhou Luo's death. Lao Chen watched Lin Fanglu collapse and cry bitterly. Although he could not empathize with her, he sighed at the tragedy of Nanya and Lin Fanglu's mother.
In the end, the prosecutors combined Nanya with the crime of intentional homicide and submitted to the court to sentence him to ten years in prison because of the circumstances of surrender. Zhou Luo was found guilty of obstructing testimony and shielding and was sentenced to ten months in prison. Liu Xun was sentenced to two years in prison for intentionally setting fire to other people's property and was sentenced to two years in prison. Chen Ling was also sentenced to one year in prison for participating in arson and destroying property. Jiang Zhi was sentenced to one year in prison for tearing up important evidence involved in the case; Xu Jian was sentenced to one year in prison. He was sentenced to two years in prison for obstructing testimony and being criminally responsible for the bridge collapse case.
Six years later, Zhang Qingli returned to Qingshui Town and learned from his parents that Zhou Luo had opened an Internet cafe next to Nanya's clothing store and had been taking good care of Wan Wan. After Lin Fanglu was transferred back to the provincial capital, he accidentally discovered new physical evidence, which confirmed Xu Yi's suicide, and the Nanya case was changed. On New Year's Eve, Zhang Qingli met Zhou Luo at the door of Nanya's house, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
Ending two:
That night, Lin Fanglu sat alone by the river, lamenting that Nanya and Zhou Luo were so stupid, why they did not choose to believe the law and tell the truth, and had to hide so many things. Seeing Lin Fanglu crying, Lao Chen sighed. He understood that if Lin Fanglu hadn't insisted on investigating, no one would ever know what happened to Nanya and the dirty water that had been thrown at her over the years.
However, this result was not what Lin Fanglu wanted. Two days later, Lin Fanglu discovered new tape evidence and immediately began to repair it. Through the dialogue content in the tape, he simulated and restored the crime scene, and finally confirmed that Xu Yi's extreme behavior was the root cause of Nanya's accidental murder.
In view of the fact that Nanya was able to voluntarily surrender to the judicial authorities after the incident, the court gave him a lighter punishment in accordance with the law and finally sentenced him to two years in prison. Zhou Luo was sentenced to ten months in prison for helping Nanya fabricate the scene and committing the crime of helping to forge evidence and concealing. Other persons involved in the case were dealt with according to the original judgment without any changes.
Back then, Zhang Qingli curiously asked Zhou Luo why he chose physics. Zhou Luo replied that human beings are extremely small in the vast universe, and the outside world is so vast. Physics is his tool to explore the future world. But when Zhang Qingli further asked if he believed in fate, Zhou Luo said without hesitation that what they encountered was just a series of seemingly random and disorderly problems, but fate was the sum of all choices. In the same field, Zhou Luo passed by on his bicycle, and Nanya walked forward, paving the way for the fate of the two to intersect in the future.
