Chapter 132 The Expected Person
Zhang Chen: "Oh, you are talking about Mrs. Situ's suicide, right? This happened when I just came here, so I still have some impression of it. Just ask whatever you want to ask!" Maybe his normal work was too boring, and when he heard that someone came to ask questions, he seemed to be opened up and chatted with them incessantly.
"Mrs. Situ is so beautiful, and she is a..." He babble on and on with a lot of useless news.
Jun Lan couldn't help but interrupt him.
"We're not here to ask you about the Situ family today. We want to ask you, did anything happen when the police came to retrieve the surveillance footage?"
Zhang Chen thought for a moment: "Well? Nothing happened when the police came to pick it up. But something happened before they came. I don't know if this is what you want to know."
Yang Ning: "After all, this concerns a life, so just tell me!"
Zhang Chen: "Just a few hours before the police came to retrieve the surveillance footage, a resident said someone had thrown paint in front of his house as a prank or something and wanted to check the surveillance footage. At that time, the regulations were not so strict, so I just opened it and let him watch it. Halfway through, I don't know why I got a severe stomachache. I was too lazy to kick him out, so I went to the bathroom and left him alone in the surveillance room. When I came back, I asked him if he had found the person and whether he wanted to call the police. He didn't answer me at all and hurried away."
Jun Lan: "Did you tell the police about all this later? Did you confirm the other party's identity at the time?"
Zhang Chen panicked when he heard these questions.
"There's no need to report such a trivial matter to the police! Although I didn't confirm the man's identity at the time, he should be a resident of our garden, right? Otherwise, what's the point of him checking all this? Madam, what I just told you won't cause me any trouble, right? I just got promoted not long ago!"
Yang Ning: "Why did you decide that he was the resident of this garden?"
Zhang Chen: "Although I don't know exactly which building or floor he lives on, I've seen him in and out of here several times, so I didn't ask any questions and just let him come. But it's strange, I haven't seen him since the incident at the Situ family."
Jun Lan: "It must be that kid Chen Weijie who did something wrong."
Yang Ning: "Do you still recognize him?"
Zhang Chen: "It's been so long, I probably don't remember much about it. But out of professional sensitivity, if you show me the photo, I should be able to recognize you to some extent."
Jun Lan opened her phone and showed Zhang Chen a photo of Chen Weijie.
"Look, is this the man?"
Zhang Chen: "It's him, it's him, it's him."
Junlan: "Our friend Little Nezha?"
Zhang Chen: "No, he was the one who wanted to check the surveillance video back then."
Yang Ning: "Let's go report this to Xu Lin and see what she has to say!"
They went to the police station again and told Xu Lin what had happened.
After hearing this, Xu Lin seemed a little torn.
"Situ must know about this!"
Jun Lan: "We didn't hide it from him. After my miscarriage, he didn't quite agree with me getting involved in the matter, but after seeing my husband by my side helping me, he couldn't say anything and just tacitly let me handle everything."
Xu Lin: "What? You had a miscarriage? Then why didn't you listen to Situ and stay home to recuperate? This is not easy to handle!"
Jun Lan: "I insisted on intervening because I knew it would be difficult. I lost my child because of this incident, so this time I really won't cry until I see the coffin and the Yellow River."
When Xu Lin saw Jun Lan's stubborn temper coming out, she knew that it was useless to persuade her any further.
"Alas, I was the one who started this, so asking you to stop now is really unfair. But based on the information you have, it's impossible to convict Chen Weijie and overturn Zhong Siyi's case. Our only chance now is to get his confession to reopen the case."
Jun Lan: "So you are trying to persuade me to give up in a subtle way."
Xu Lin: "I really can't do anything about it."
Yang Ning: "Don't despair too much, I have a solution."
Xu Lin: "Do you have any way to pry open his mouth and make him confess?"
Yang Ning: "Don't worry about it, I have my own way. Wait for our news, Junlan, let's go."
After they left, Xu Lin was left alone in the messy office.
After Junlan returned home, she finally fed Didi and coaxed her to sleep, but as soon as she saw Lele, she started to feel annoyed again.
"This child is over four months old and still looks terrible. What are we going to do if this continues? Grandma will definitely force me to have another child."
Yang Ning had just cooked the meal and placed it on the table.
"Don't tell Lele about this. If he finds out, he'll definitely think you despise him. What if he runs away from home when we're not paying attention?"
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's eat first. I'm almost starving."
At this time, Lele crawled to Yang Ning: "Dad... Dad..."
Yang Ning: "Wife, did you hear him calling me dad just now?"
Jun Lan: "You're overthinking it. He probably wants to poop!"
Yang Ning thought about it and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat again.
Lele crawled in front of Junlan again: "Mom...Mom..."
Junlan: "Hubby, Lele seems to be calling our parents."
Yang Ning: "I knew I heard it right! It turns out our child is a genius. I just taught him these two words last night, and he can say them today. His pronunciation is pretty good!"
Jun Lan: "Look how flattered you are! If people knew our child was a talking chameleon, they would definitely take him away, and then your family's secret would be exposed. I wonder what you would do then."
Yang Ning: "When the enemy comes, we must stop him with our soldiers and when the water comes, we must block it with earth. We must be more careful in the future. Before Lele turns back to human form, we must not let anyone who doesn't know the truth come into contact with him."
Jun Lan: "That's all we can do for now. By the way, why did you make such a boast in front of Xu Lin tonight?"
Yang Ning: "How could I have boasted?"
Jun Lan: "I'm just asking you where to find Chen Weijie's confession to give to Xu Lin."
Yang Ning: "I thought you were going to say something else, but it turns out it's about this. Don't worry! Your husband is an excellent magician. You know how powerful my illusions are. I can even fool Dai Qing, that old fox, let alone Chen Weijie, that idiot!"
Junlan: "So what should we do now?"
Yang Ning: "Why rush? You have to wait a long time before you can catch a big fish. Be patient and wait! With his character, if you don't go after him, he will come back sooner or later. Now we just need to lure him out of his hole."
The next morning, they came to Situ's house early to make some arrangements. After their renovation, the place finally felt a bit like home.
Yang Ning: "Has there been no complaints from downstairs recently?"
Jun Lan: "No, I asked them and they said everything is fine."
