After the interview, the reporter asked Lin Fanglu to inform him immediately if he found any clues. Since the Millennium Night husband murder case has a warning effect on society, they plan to make it a key topic. In addition, the reporter learned that Lin Fanglu was the first student in Qingshui Town to be admitted to a key university. He planned to include this information in the report, but Lin Fanglu refused.
The case was quickly published in newspapers and attracted widespread attention. As the only witness, Zhou Luo instantly became the focus of public opinion. Lin Guixiang was worried that if the Xu family's bad breath could not escape, Nanya would be out of their reach inside, and might cause trouble for Zhou Luo. Father Zhou reminded her not to think too much, as the Xu family did not dare to act rashly at this time.
Father Zhou saw his son coming back from outside with Wanwan in his arms, and warned him to mind his own business and concentrate on his studies. Zhang Huashan also lamented that Zhou Luo's witnessing the murder would definitely have a psychological impact, but he was unwilling to give up this golden sign. Zhang Qingli went home and heard the conversation between his parents and learned that Nanya might face the death penalty, and felt mixed emotions in his heart.
Girlfriend Wen Ting took advantage of her vacation to come to Qingshui Town to visit Lin Fanglu. When discussing the Nanya case, she noticed that Lin Fanglu sympathized with the perpetrator. However, Wen Ting only hopes that Lin Fanglu can solve a few more major cases and return to the city to get married as soon as possible. Lin Fanglu remained silent, and the two finally slept in separate beds.
When Liu Xun was sorting through the photos, he found a photo that proved that his father was not absconding with money. He determined that Xu Yi framed his father, so his father was forced to hide and dare not show his face. Lin Fanglu found Xu Yi's rental place based on the photos, and found many company account books and clues that were helpful to the case.
Later, Lin Fanglu, Lao Chen and others attended the municipal bureau meeting and reported the progress of the case to the leaders. Judging from the accounting documents in the safe, Xu Yi is indeed the mastermind behind the Bridge case. He made huge profits by purchasing fake materials, modifying construction plans and costs, and transferred and hid the money through various companies.
In addition, they analyzed the hair found in the sewer and the items left in Xu Yi's room, and found that Xu Yi was very likely to have an affair during marriage and live with a woman. Because the other party was well hidden, neither the landlord nor the neighbors had ever seen her. Although the room showed signs of being broken open and entered, the intruder was very cautious and did not leave any fingerprint information.
The leaders of the municipal bureau believed that the Daqiao case involved a huge amount of money and two lives, and that it was consistent with Nanya's confession. This showed that Xu Yi killed someone to prevent Nanya from reporting, causing Nanya to kill in self-defense in a panic. Combining the evidence and witness testimony, Xu Yi’s murder motive and Nanya’s legitimate defense were both established.
Because of this, the leaders of the municipal bureau asked Lin Fanglu to write a report as soon as possible, and told everyone that times have changed, and opinions must change accordingly, and the legal identification of such crimes will become increasingly clear and comprehensive. Considering that Nanya is a long-term victim of domestic violence, has witnesses, media support, and the attention of the provincial department and the Women's Federation, the case must be handled with caution.
Although Lao Chen disagreed with this conclusion, he could not change public opinion. Lin Fanglu returned to the classroom at his alma mater, recalling his student days, and Nanya's face appeared before his eyes. On the other hand, the relationship between Wen Ting and Lin Fang Lu became increasingly cold, and there was no deep affection between lovers at all. However, that night, Lin Fang Lu still chose to sleep in the same bed with Wen Ting.
Because of Zhou Luo's dazzling performance in school, Liu Xun held a grudge against him. Later, he learned through netizens that Zhou Luo was ordered to drop out of school due to a sex scandal, and the person who left with him was a female teacher in her forties. After class the next day, Liu Xun deliberately posted a photo of the female teacher on the blackboard to provoke Zhou Luo, which triggered a fight. Chen Jun arrived in time to stop Zhou Luo and avoid tragedy.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Jun asked Zhou Luo the identity of the woman in the photo. Zhou Luo did not answer directly. Instead, he followed Chen Jun to his home for dinner and happened to meet Lin Fanglu. At the dinner table, Zhou Luo revealed the details of Xu Yi chasing Nanya with an ax, and the subsequent scene when Xu Yi slipped and fell on Nanya, inserting a knife into her chest. Chen Ling couldn't stand Zhou Luo exonerating Nanya and left angrily again. When Lin Fanglu and Zhou Luo walked back, they said that Nanya would soon be classified as self-defense because of his confession.
