Chapter 115 Xu Lin's Advice

Jun Lan: "Could it be that you care too much about Situ and that's why you're obsessed with him? Why are you so sure there was a second person there?"

Xu Lin: "At the time, I cared about Situ and wanted to do something to help him cheer up as soon as possible, but I would never let personal feelings affect my judgment. The reason I believed there was a second person present was because their downstairs neighbor mentioned to us that they heard two footsteps. Unfortunately, the other police officers involved in the case said that the soundproofing system of the upscale residential complex they lived in was very good, and the downstairs neighbor must have misheard, so they rejected it. Zhong Siyi's diary was full of recent words of pessimism, so they assumed it was a suicide note and hastily classified the case as suicide."

Jun Lan: "Then, in your in-depth investigation, who do you think is the most suspicious?"

Xu Lin: "One is Chen Weijie, a surgeon at Wilson Hospital, and the other is your uncle."

Jun Lan: "Ah? No way. I know both of these people. Based on my understanding of them, I think this is unlikely! It's a bit far-fetched to force them to be connected!"

Xu Lin: "If you listen to me, it won't seem so far-fetched. Let's talk about Chen Weijie first. Can you guess what his relationship with Zhong Siyi is?"

Jun Lan: "Chen Weijie is a surgeon, and he seems to have some connections with Situ. So Zhong Siyi must have known him through Situ, or maybe she had surgery or medical treatment done by him, right?"

Xu Lin: "On the contrary, Situ met Chen Weijie through Zhong Siyi. Chen Weijie's wife Wu Mei and Zhong Siyi were college classmates and ballet dancers. They were good friends, so when Zhong Siyi suffered a miscarriage and depression, Wu Mei naturally introduced her husband to her good friend for treatment."

Jun Lan: "Isn't this a joke? How can a surgeon cure depression?"

Xu Lin: "You don't know this! Although Chen Weijie studied surgery at medical university, he later earned a senior psychiatrist certificate through self-study and opened a psychotherapy clinic with his partner."

Jun Lan: "What happened next? Why didn't he continue to be a psychiatrist and go back to Wilson Hospital to practice his old profession?"

Xu Lin: "He was expelled from the Psychological Society because he violated the professional ethics of psychologists and had an improper relationship with a patient."

Jun Lan: "No way, how could such a lewd thing happen? Could that person be Zhong Siyi?"

Xu Lin: "Exactly. It was his partner who reported Chen Weijie, and his assistant also testified against him, saying they made too much noise in the house. But Chen Weijie insisted that it was just a necessary measure during treatment. In the end, he was stripped of his psychiatrist license by the Psychological Medicine Association because of this."

Jun Lan: "Both my husband and my wife have their reasons for this matter. I really don't know who to listen to. Does Situ know about this?"

Xu Lin: "How could I not know? But Situ loves his wife very much. Of course he doesn't believe that she would cheat on him. Later, he changed several psychologists for her, but her condition kept getting worse."

Jun Lan: "There's too much information here. Let me think about it. What does that have to do with Nangong? One is my best friend's husband, the other is my husband's boss, and Situ's wife is also..."

Xu Lin: "You guessed wrong, there is no ambiguous affair between them."

Junlan: “How do you say that?”

Xu Lin: "After marrying Situ, Zhong Siyi discovered that he was a workaholic. He was rarely at home, and even when she became pregnant, he didn't seem to show much concern. So she slowly began to complain. Feeling depressed and uncaring, she had a miscarriage shortly afterward and has been suffering from depression ever since. She blamed it all on your uncle, saying that your uncle assigned Situ too much work and that this had caused discord between them. She went to the Junyue Hotel several times to make trouble, and each time Situ scolded her back."

Jun Lan: "This really has nothing to do with my uncle. Situ's status is a bit special, and my uncle really can't do without him."

Xu Lin: "Could it be that they have some kind of hidden relationship? Do you know what's going on?"

Jun Lan looked embarrassed: "It's not what you think. They are just good brothers."

Xu Lin was half-believing and half-doubting: "I suspect Zhong Siyi knew some secret of theirs and was killed by them to silence her."

Jun Lan: "Captain Xu Lin, have you been reading too many detective novels lately?"

Xu Lin: "I'm not just guessing. You know Bai Fugui who died in the city square, right?"

Jun Lan: "How could I not recognize him? Didn't Li Yu and I cooperate with you to put on a big show to successfully bring him to justice? He is the one who harmed Meizhu and made her child lose her mother. He deserves to die."

Xu Lin: "The deaths of Meizhu and Bai Fugui only reveal the tip of the iceberg of this case. Have you ever thought about why Bai Fugui wanted to kill Meizhu, and how he escaped from us and died in the city square?"

Jun Lan: "This...sigh...pregnancy makes people stupid for three years. My brain hasn't been working as well as it used to be lately. I've just been letting things slide for a long time."

Xu Lin: "I'm telling you all this today not to sow discord between you and your family. I think we're connected, and I want to remind you to be careful of your uncle. He's not a good person. All the signs indicate that these things are more or less directly or indirectly related to him."

Jun Lan knew all of this, but she refused to admit that her children's families were cruel and heartless. She believed that time might change them into kindness and gentleness, but reality repeatedly shattered her illusions. In this patriarchal, male-dominated society, while women's treatment had improved significantly, there was still a long way to go when it came to equal rights. There was still a long way to go!

Jun Lan glanced at Lele and Didi sleeping soundly in their strollers and couldn't help but sigh, "Perhaps in their eyes, I, like Daiqing, am nothing more than a new plaything and a mobile womb. Actually, they are no different. Fortunately, Yang Ning's love for me may be greater than Nangong's for Daiqing."

Xu Lin: "Do you know why I chose this day to tell you?"

Jun Lan shook her head: "I don't want to know or guess anymore."

Xu Lin: "How come after learning about their family situation, I started to worry about my own situation?"

Jun Lan: "To be honest, I actually understand my uncle better than you do. But at that time, I didn't have a child, and I thought that with Yang Ning's love, I would be fearless. But after having a child, I couldn't help but start to wonder if my original choice was too impulsive. Marrying into such a complicated family, can I fit in and handle the relationship with them?"

Xu Lin: "Every family has its own problems. Think carefully about how you want to go in the future!"
