Chapter 131 Clues
Junlan: "Why do you say that?"
Xiaomei: "Because every time he goes to Uncle Situ's house, Aunt Siyi will cry secretly."
Xiaomei’s mother: “Don’t talk nonsense, kid.”
Xiaomei: "I'm not kidding, I saw it all. Every time I saw him, Aunt Siyi would hide behind me and cry. And on Christmas Day, he even knocked my doll to the ground and didn't even say sorry, so Xiaomei hates him."
Junlan: "Christmas?"
Xiaomei: "Yes, I haven't seen Aunt Siyi since that day. Uncle Situ told me she left but he wouldn't tell me where she went, only that she would never come back. I haven't seen Uncle Situ since that day. It must be because of him that they left here."
Junlan remembered that the date of death written in Zhong Siyi's file was December 25th.
She then asked, "Are you sure the uncle you saw on Christmas Day was the same uncle you saw last time?"
Xiaomei: "It should be him."
Xiaomei's mother: "Ms. Lin, don't listen to her nonsense. She can't remember anything the teacher said on the blackboard yesterday, so how could she remember something that happened almost ten years ago? Don't listen to her nonsense."
Junlan: "Xiaomei, let me ask you again, do you have any special impression of the uncle you bumped into on Christmas Day?"
Xiaomei thought about it and said, "He seems to be wearing a ring on his hand."
Jun Lan took out the ring she had picked up from her pocket: "Is this it?"
Xiaomei picked it up and looked at it, "Yeah, it's a bit similar."
Xiaomei's mother: "Ms. Lin, why are you asking these questions?"
Jun Lan: "I don't think Mrs. Situ committed suicide, so I want to get to the bottom of this."
Xiaomei’s mother: “Don’t say these things in front of the children. We have almost finished our conversation today. Xiaomei needs to go back to do her homework. Thank you for the ice cream.” She didn’t wait for Junlan and quickly took Xiaomei home.
Jun Lan had no choice but to return to Situ's house alone.
Yang Ning: "You two don't often come up together. I heard that the mother and daughter from the opposite house came back first. She even told the little girl to stay away from you when she sees you next time."
Jun Lan: "It's expected."
Yang Ning: "How did the talk go?"
Jun Lan: "It ended a bit unpleasantly. If nothing unexpected happens, Xiaomei should be an eyewitness."
Yang Ning: "But the investigation results show that no one else from the Situ family entered her home at that time in the surveillance video."
Jun Lan: "I suspect someone has deleted or altered the video. Tomorrow I'll go find Xu Lin and check Zhong Siyi's file."
Yang Ning: "I'll go with you."
The next day, they rushed to the police station again and explained their purpose, which made Xu Lin a little embarrassed.
"A lot of the information on suicide cases like this has been destroyed after so long, so the original surveillance video can't be found," Xu Lin said with some regret.
Jun Lan: "What should I do?"
"Since you suspect the surveillance footage was tampered with, why not ask the security guard who provided us with the footage? His name is Zhang Chen, and he should still be working at Binhai Park."
"Yeah, okay."
Yang Ning drove her back to the Binhai Park.
At the door of Situ's house, the couple met Chen Weijie who had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Chen Weijie: "Seeing you look so energetic, I feel relieved."
Jun Lan: "Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now."
Chen Weijie: "Now that you're fully recovered, isn't it time to ask Situ out to discuss selling the house?"
Jun Lan: "I am well now, but Mr. Situ has given me full authority to handle the house. Well, I don't plan to sell it for the time being."
Chen Weijie: "Oh? Can I hear the reason?"
Jun Lan: "Nothing else, even though I like this place, I simply don't want to sell it."
Chen Weijie smiled and said, "So you like this place too! Then I won't take away someone else's love. You don't have to sell the house, but you have to return the things you found. Can you please give me back the ring you found?"
Junlan: "Is this why you must buy this house?"
Chen Weijie smiled but said nothing.
Jun Lan: "How did you know I found your ring?"
Chen Weijie: "Coveting other people's things never ends well. Even if you keep it, it can't do anything to me. Why don't you return it to me?"
Jun Lan: "What can you do to me if I say I didn't pick up your ring at all?"
Chen Weijie: "You're a quick learner, but it's useless. What can a child's testimony and a ring do to me? I thought you were smart, but you're nothing special."
Jun Lan: "It seems that there will be no results if we continue to talk. Please go back! You are not welcome here."
Chen Weijie: "I will leave. Before I go, I have to remind you that there are too many accidents in this world. Even if your husband is by your side, you still have to be careful!"
Yang Ning: "Are you threatening my wife?"
Chen Weijie: "No, I just wanted to kindly remind her. I don't mean anything else. I'm leaving now."
Yang Ning hugged Jun Lan and said, "Ignore him, let's go into the house!"
As soon as she entered the room, Junlan sat on the mini bar counter, holding her chin and thinking.
Yang Ning: "What? Are you still thinking about what that bastard said just now? Don't worry about him, you have your husband here! You have seen that I am very strong in combat."
Jun Lan: "Don't say such frivolous things now. I was wondering how he knew that I found the ring and talked to Xiaomei? I only mentioned this to you and Situ."
Yang Ning: "I haven't told anyone, so Situ must have leaked the news."
Jun Lan: "It can't be him. He definitely wouldn't go around saying anything about his beloved wife. I told him not to say anything first. How could he turn around and question Chen Weijie?"
Yang Ning: "Then there is only one possibility left."
Jun Lan: "Hurry up and tell me."
Yang Ning: "When you went to see the mother and daughter just now, he followed you the whole time. Did you take out the ring when you saw them?"
Jun Lan slapped her thigh and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? What should I do? I don't have any substantial evidence to incriminate him, yet now he's targeting me."
Yang Ning: "Don't worry, even the wind will leave traces, let alone murder. If we keep working hard, we might find some useful evidence. I have a way."
Junlan: “Oh?”
Yang Ning: "Why don't we go find that security guard Zhang Chen and confirm the matter of the surveillance video!"
Jun Lan: "If you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about it. Let's go and see what's going on."
Zhang Chen, the young security guard back then, has now been promoted to captain of the security team. Jun Lan and Yang Ning came to the monitoring room under his leadership.
Zhang Chen: "There are regulations now. If you are not a police officer handling the case, you must have a report receipt or be accompanied by a police officer before you can view the surveillance video!"
Yang Ning: "We are not here to check the surveillance video. I am here to ask about the tragedy that happened to the Situ family on the 25th floor of Building A about eight years ago."
