Episode 19 recap: There is a new direction in the investigation of the case.
On New Year's Eve, Zhang Hua Shan saw a figure at the scene of the car fire that resembled Zhou Luo. He had always found it strange before, but now it suddenly dawned on him. Zhang Qing Li personally approached Lin Fang Lu and begged him to clarify their relationship to his father, Zhang Hua Shan. Lin Fang Lu agreed to help Zhang Qing Li, but only if she would be honest with him.
In the next moment, Zhou Luo rushed forward to stand in front of Zhang Qing Li and angrily accused Lin Fang Lu of relentlessly accusing Nan Ya, questioning whether it was for career advancement or personal grudges. Lin Fang Lu stated that he was a police officer, and it was his duty to uncover the truth of the case and bring the guilty to justice.
Soon, Lin Fang Lu found a cassette tape with a recording that proved Zhou Luo and Nan Ya had been acting from the beginning. He suspected that if they were a couple, there might be another possibility in the case. Because Zhang Hua Shan had forbidden Zhou Luo from attending classes, Zhang Qing Li had been upset with her father and locked herself in her room.
During a meal, Zhang Hua Shan mentioned Zhou Luo to his wife and recalled seeing a suspicious figure resembling him at the scene of the car fire on New Year's Eve. Although it was too dark to see clearly, he felt that Zhou Luo must be involved, otherwise why would the police keep a close eye on him? Chen Ling went to Zhou's house and confronted Xu Yi about the true cause of his death, accusing Zhou Luo of helping Nan Ya out of personal motives. Chen Ling also claimed to have seen them having a secret meeting at the hospital.
Seeing the situation, Lin Gui Xiang rushed forward to stop Chen Ling. Likewise, Chen Jun arrived and forcefully took Chen Ling back home, even getting into a heated argument with her over the matter. Back at home, Chen Ling continued to be unreasonable, and the emotions that Chen Jun had suppressed deep inside him finally erupted. He angrily reproached Chen Ling for being selfish and only caring about Xu Yi, never considering the feelings of their family.
Since Chen Ling and Xu Yi separated, the whole family had to live according to her mood every day, speaking carefully. If Chen Ling was even slightly unhappy, the entire household would suffocate. It was because of this that Chen Jun looked down on Chen Ling for becoming someone who was no longer like herself because of a man like Xu Yi, and for living more and more like a resentful woman.
Lao Chen was about to take action upon hearing this, but fortunately, Chen's wife intervened in time. After Chen Jun stormed out in anger, Chen Ling burst into tears, feeling deeply wronged, which pained Chen's wife. In order to get Zhou Luo back to school, Zhang Qing Li took the initiative to make a concession to her father, but Zhang Hua Shan had made up his mind not to change, leaving Zhang Qing Li furious and returning to her room.
Watching Zhou Luo leave with a heavy heart for his nightly run, Lin Gui Xiang recalled his excessive attention to Nan Ya and suddenly had a bad feeling. In the middle of the night, Chen Ling burned photos of Xu Yi in her room, while Chen Jun stood silently outside the door, his heart filled with mixed emotions. The next morning, Chen Ling opened the door and saw Chen Jun in a flustered state, about to go to school. She couldn't help but smile, knowing that her younger brother may appear fierce on the surface, but he cared for her deep down.
As Zhou Luo's admission to Jinghua University was lowered, the leaders from the Education Bureau personally visited the school and noticed that Zhou Luo was absent among the many students. Zhang Hua Shan had no choice but to have someone quickly find Zhou Luo and make him stand in the center of the stage for a photo with the leaders. However, Zhang Hua Shan was torn with conflicting emotions. On one hand, he didn't want Zhou Luo to return to the school, but on the other hand, he was influenced by the attitude of the Education Bureau leaders. Lin Fang Lu saw through Zhang Hua Shan's dilemma with a single remark, stating that Zhang Qing Li and Zhou Luo were innocent because he never believed in what they said.
That day, Zhang Qing Li took the initiative to find Lin Fang Lu, hoping that he could clarify her relationship with Zhou Luo to the public. Lin Fang Lu agreed to help Zhang Qing Li, on the condition that she must tell the truth. Just as he finished speaking, Zhou Luo rushed forward to stand in front of Zhang Qing Li, accusing Lin Fang Lu of relentlessly accusing Nan Ya, questioning whether it was for career advancement or personal grudges.
Lin Fang Lu stated that he was a police officer, and it was his duty to uncover the truth of the case and bring the guilty to justice. Wen Ting called Lin Fang Lu urging him to return to the city as soon as possible and expressing her dissatisfaction with his involvement in this case, which she believed was driven by personal emotions. Unable to bear Wen Ting's questioning, Lin Fang Lu's tone became harsher, and the two had a very unpleasant argument.
Later, Lin Fang Lu found a cassette tape at the crime scene, which contained evidence of Zhou Luo's feelings for Nan Ya and his deliberate concealment of important information from the police. Lao Chen was astonished upon hearing the recording on the tape, while Lin Fang Lu concluded that Zhou Luo and Nan Ya had been acting from the beginning, and Zhou Luo had an hour-long unaccounted period of time because he was actually at the crime scene.
Therefore, Lin Fang Lu suspected that if Zhou Luo and Nan Ya were in a romantic relationship, the case would have another possibility.
