Chapter 114 Mrs. Situ
"What should I envy? It's just that marrying the right person makes life a little easier. You have no idea how angry I get when the child gets naughty, but I can't do anything about it. I can only comfort myself by saying that the child is still young and needs to be taught slowly. And my husband, sometimes I really have to forgive him eight hundred times before I can even talk to him. They treat me like a canary, locked up at home. But the children are still young, so once they're older and go to kindergarten, I'll go out to work like you. Actually, I envy you, a heroine who polices evil, punishes evildoers and upholds justice."
Xu Lin smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Jun Lan: "Actually, I'm quite curious why someone as outstanding as you is not in a relationship until now?"
Xu Lin was silent for a long time before she said, "Actually, I've been waiting for an impossible person all these years."
Jun Lan: "Situ?"
Xu Lin: "You noticed that too?"
Jun Lan: "Is it really him? I was just guessing, but I didn't expect it to be right. However, I have been wondering about your relationship for a long time, but you have always refused to tell me, and I am too embarrassed to keep asking."
Xu Lin: "Did you know that he was actually married?"
Jun Lan nodded. "It's a pity she died. I don't know the details. I only heard my husband mention it once."
"You and Situ are such good colleagues, but you don't dare to ask him directly?"
Jun Lan shook her head. "It's better to say he's my superior than my colleague. Even though I'm older than him at home, he doesn't obey me! Besides, even though he's hateful, I'm embarrassed to ask about his sad story!"
"That's true. I got to know him because of his wife's case."
"So you know the details about his wife?"
"Well, back then..."
At this time, they saw Yue Xiaofeng coming over with two bottles of drinks.
Yue Xiaofeng: "What are you guys talking about that makes you so engrossed?"
Jun Lan: "A housewife like me doesn't have much gossip to talk about except for my children and husband!"
Xu Lin: "Come to the police station tomorrow morning and I'll tell you in detail."
Jun Lan: "Then let's talk about it tomorrow."
Yue Xiaofeng: "What kind of gossip are you guys chatting about? You're so engrossed in it that you're going to the police station?"
Xu Lin: "Why do you care what we women talk about!"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Never mind, I'll listen to you anyway. The movie is about to start, let's go in quickly!"
Seeing their backs as they left, Jun Lan remembered that she also had to hurry home to cook for her husband and children.
When she returned home, she found that Yang Ning had already prepared a table full of food waiting for them.
She couldn't help but kiss Yang Ning again and again: "My husband is the best."
Yang Ning: "You only realize how useful I am now? Why do you always come back empty-handed after taking the kids out shopping?"
"If you don't see anything suitable, don't buy it, lest you call me a spendthrift. Ever since Mingli left, this house has become much quieter and less joyful, and it's really ruined my mood."
"That can't be helped. Why don't we just try harder tonight and have a few more children? Wouldn't that make you feel better?"
Jun Lan pointed at Lele and said, "This child hasn't even turned back to normal yet. How can I have the mood to have another child with you? Why are you so selfish as to want to keep me at home to take care of your child? Do you want to tire me to death?"
Yang Ning didn't dare to say anything more and quickly picked up the bowl to eat.
Jun Lan: "Guess who I met while shopping today?"
Yang Ning: "Could it be Meizhu?"
Jun Lan: "It's Xu Lin."
Yang Ning: "Who is he? I don't know him."
Jun Lan: "She is a policewoman. I got to know her because of Liu Xi's case."
Yang Ning: "Well, so?"
Jun Lan: "She's recently been dating another male colleague in her police station. Guess who she liked before?"
Yang Ning: "It can't be me, right?"
Jun Lan: "Be serious and guess again. We all know that person, and we know him very well."
When Yang Ning heard this, he spat out the soup he had just drunk.
"Don't tell me that the person she likes is Nangong? I don't want a stepmother!"
"Look how scared you are. Are you afraid that your stepmother and your brothers and sisters will fight with you for the family property?"
"From what you said, do I look like that kind of person?"
"You don't look like it, but you are that kind of person. The person I'm talking about is Situ."
"Oh, it's him! Then tell her to give up. Situ is still obsessed with his wife."
"She knew that, so she's now dating another man. I heard that she was the one who took over Situ's wife's case back then."
"Well, so?"
"It's rare that she's willing to talk to me about this, so of course I want to find out. Aren't you really curious about his wife?"
"Well, honey, it's not that I doubt your judgment in choosing friends, but if someone shows too much attention for no reason, he's either a traitor or a thief."
"I don't care. I'll find out tomorrow."
The next morning, Junlan brought the children to the police station again.
Xu Lin: "I didn't expect you to actually come. I thought you weren't very interested in his affairs."
Jun Lan: "Just tell me now! Stop keeping me in suspense."
Xu Lin: "The investigation results at that time showed that his wife committed suicide."
Jun Lan: "Judging from your expression, you don't believe this investigation report either!"
Xu Lin: "Not only did I not believe it, Situ didn't believe it either, so we investigated it privately for a while, but unfortunately, it came to nothing in the end."
Jun Lan: "Is that when you fell in love with Situ?"
Xu Lin nodded and kept silent.
Jun Lan: "First, tell me about his wife's life!"
Xu Lin: "According to investigations, Situ and his wife Zhong Siyi met at a cocktail party. They fell in love at first sight and dated for a few years before getting married. They were an enviable loving couple. However, Zhong Siyi later suffered depression after an unexpected miscarriage and has been relying on medication ever since. Naturally, their relationship has deteriorated."
"So you suspect her death was suicide caused by depression."
"Well, we did start our investigation and evidence collection in this direction, and the results showed nothing suspicious."
"Then how did she die?"
"She severed an artery in her wrist and then drowned in a bathtub filled with rose petals."
"Alas, what a tragedy. Isn't Situ very sad?"
"He was very sad, but if you knew him, you would know he would never show his weak side to anyone."
Jun Lan thought, "That's not necessarily true. We've been brothers for so many years, maybe he will say something to Nangong?"
Jun Lan: "Since you all think there is nothing suspicious, then why are you still telling me this?"
Xu Lin: "They thought it was not suspicious, not me."
Jun Lan: "Then tell me who you think is the most suspicious."
Xu Lin: "Actually, from the beginning, I thought Zhong Siyi was killed by someone who cut her wrists and then drowned her in the bathtub. However, after investigating and collecting evidence, the forensic expert said that she was the only one at the scene and no one else was present, so they concluded it was suicide. But I think it's more complicated than that. There must have been another person at the time, and this person must be the one who killed Zhong Siyi. Not only did he kill her, he also completely destroyed all evidence of his presence. This is enough to show that this murderer is indeed very intelligent."
