Chapter 179: Each Test
Mingli rubbed her little face up and down with her hands, then lay on the stage and pretended to be asleep.
Xu Lin: "Mingli, you can't do this. Your mother Junlan will worry about you."
"There's no point in asking any more questions. I've already said what I need to say, and I won't answer you even if you ask me again. You're not really going to torture a child to extract a confession, are you? My mother, Junlan, is still out there!"
Xu Lin: "How dare you mention your mother Junlan? You've completely disgraced her today."
Mingli: "I know she is the person who cares about me the most in this world. I also know that she will be very disappointed in me today, but this is the only thing I can do to save this family. Whether she likes it or not, I have done it. I can only say sorry to her."
Xu Lin: "You, a little kid, shouldn't have to endure so much. You should tell us about these things and let us handle them."
Mingli said: "You don't understand. If you were to handle this, the conspirators would succeed in no time, and our family would be in an irreparable situation."
Xu Lin: "You have to trust our police officers!"
Mingli: "Some things are really hard to explain."
Seeing how determined he was, Xu Lin knew that she couldn't get anything out of him for the time being, so she might as well take this opportunity to let everyone take a break.
Xu Lin: "You are tired too, just take a rest first!"
She slowly walked out of the interrogation room. When Jun Lan saw her coming out, she quickly stopped her and asked, "Did he say anything?"
Xu Lin shook her head: "No, he's very stubborn and refuses to say anything. I don't have any clues at all."
Junlan's eyes turned red and she felt like crying.
Xu Lin comforted her, "It's not a big deal, actually. You'll be able to take him home soon. When I find your uncle, your family will be reunited."
Junlan: "It's different now. I don't know when Mingli became like this. I don't know how to face him now." As she spoke, Junlan's tears began to fall.
Xu Lin took out a tissue from her trouser pocket and handed it to Jun Lan: "You must be tired tonight, right? Why don't you and Yang Ning go back first?"
Jun Lan wiped her tears with a tissue and choked up, saying, "He's currently investigating my uncle's case with your husband. I guess he can't get away right now."
Xu Lin: "Just relax. Regardless of the relationship between our two families, even if this happened to an ordinary person, we will do our best to make things clear."
Junlan: "Thank you, it's thoughtful."
Xu Lin: "Do you think I'm your sister or best friend? Why are you telling me all this? By the way, how well do you know your sister-in-law?"
Jun Lan: "I've only known her for a few months, but when I talk to her, I always feel that I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity with her. And sometimes she says very strange things, and I don't know what she means."
Xu Lin: "Your sister-in-law's identity is indeed very strange. I just looked at her information, and all the information from elementary school to university is fabricated. The information we get is all that this person does not exist, and she has no relatives or friends around her. If it weren't for her body lying in the hospital, it would be as if this person never existed. How could your uncle, such a smart businessman, marry a woman of such unknown origin? Do you think he knew there was something wrong with his wife all along?"
Jun Lan: "This... I don't know either. It's really hard to say. I discovered this problem when they got married. I asked my husband, and he said that my uncle didn't allow them to investigate Dai Shu's identity and background. I guess if my uncle is not confused by love, then he really knows something and just won't tell us. But what is it? I really can't say it at the moment."
Xu Lin: "Then what do you think of your aunt?"
Jun Lan: "I don't know my aunt very well. I only see her a few times a year, and my husband rarely mentions her in front of me."
Xu Lin: "Your aunt is also very problematic. She still hasn't come to ask about your uncle."
Jun Lan: "I guess he's dealing with company matters with Situ and the others. After all, if such a big thing isn't handled properly, it will have a huge impact on our group."
In fact, Junlan really wanted to tell Xu Lin that everyone in their family except her had problems, it just depended on whether they were willing to investigate.
Xu Lin: "You must be feeling very bad recently, right?"
Jun Lan: "Yeah, it's been a very troubled time for our family lately, with bad things happening one after another. I finally waited for my uncle to get married, thinking it would be a good time to celebrate, but who knew something like this would happen again? Sigh..."
At this time, Yang Ning walked over with a heavy face.
Xu Lin: "Your husband is here."
Jun Lan quickly turned around and hugged him, but seeing that he didn't seem to react, she asked, "Husband, what's wrong with you? Did something really happen to your uncle?"
Yang Ning: "Let's talk about it when we get back." After that, he took Jun Lan to the car and went home.
Jun Lan: "I haven't finished talking to Xu Lin yet!"
Yang Ning said without even turning his head: "Then you can talk about it next time."
Jun Lan quickly turned around and said goodbye to Xu Lin. Xu Lin nodded to her and signaled her to go home with Yang Ning quickly.
In the car, Yang Ning didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something important.
Jun Lan: "What's wrong with you?"
Yang Ning: "Oh no! This matter is far more complicated than we imagined. Maybe even Situ and Fanxi are involved."
Jun Lan: "How is this possible? Situ didn't say anything just now?"
Yang Ning: "It's what he didn't say that makes him look more problematic."
Jun Lan: "What did Yue Xiaofeng say to you just now?"
Yang Ning: "When we were at the villa, didn't Situ say that the security camera in Nangong's house was broken? I thought it was strange at the time. They attach great importance to safety. No matter how busy they are, they would not tolerate such a big safety hazard as a broken camera. So when Yue Xiaofeng said he wanted to check the surveillance video from the nearby roadside, I said I wanted to go and take a look. At first he was reluctant, so I said something to him, and then he seemed to remember something and agreed to let me watch it with him. Guess what I saw?"
Jun Lan: "What can the roadside surveillance camera see? I can't guess."
Yang Ning: "I saw Situ driving away from Nangong's house after the incident, and the person in the passenger seat was Zhang Fanxi."
Jun Lan: "What does this prove? It can't be that they killed Dai Shu and then instigated Mingli to be a scapegoat, right?
Yang Ning: "I don't know either. What happened tonight? Why are they all so reluctant to speak and hiding it from us?"
Jun Lan: "Exactly, where did Uncle go? What conspiracy is going on here?"
Yang Ning suddenly slammed on the brakes and started slapping the steering wheel frantically.
"I feel so useless. We are kept in the dark about things that even common sense knows."
Jun Lan gently stroked Yang Ning's arm to comfort him, saying, "Maybe the situation isn't as serious as we thought. They didn't mean to deceive us. Perhaps Situ and Fan Xi will tell us later. There's no point in worrying now."
