Back at the station, in the interrogation room.

Li Ming wasn't handcuffed, and he was still wearing the same clothes: a white shirt and khaki pants.

Holding the autopsy reports, Ji Jie said to Li Ming, "You didn't know Lin Ying was pregnant, did you? I think it's your child."

Zhang Yang sat in the middle, while Tian Rui took notes on the side.

Li Ming's tone was somewhat indifferent, "My child, it's definitely my child, otherwise whose child it is."

Upon hearing this, Ji Jie smiled and said, "Could it be Jiang Dali's?"

"No." Li Ming was somewhat agitated. "Impossible. How could it be his child? He doesn't deserve to associate with Lin Ying."

Ji Jie said, "But I have to tell you, this child is Jiang Dali's. Lin Ying married you with Jiang Dali's child in her body. After the marriage, you discovered Lin Ying's secret, and you cannot tolerate this betrayal."

"You're talking nonsense."

Ji Jie continued, "Lin Ying then asked you for a divorce. You couldn't stand that she would rather divorce Jiang Dali and raise the child than live with you. So you followed Lin Ying to her date and stabbed her nine times in the belly of her pregnant with Jiang Dali's child. When Jiang Dali arrived at the scene, he had no idea that Lin Ying was lying in the empty house next door."

Li Ming stood up excitedly and said, "You're talking nonsense, it's all fabricated. I was watching a movie that night."

Ji Jie smiled and waved to the door, and Zhang Yang knew it was time for Ding Jian to come in.

In the past two days, Zhang Yang finally found the person who found Li Ming's wallet at the lost and found with the help of the cinema staff. She could prove that Li Ming was at the cinema that night and left near the end of the movie, leaving the bloodstained wallet on his seat.

A girl walked in, and Ji Jie asked, "Do you know her?"

Li Ming shook his head. "I don't know him."

Ji Jie said, "But she knows you." Then she gestured to the girl.

The girl said, "That's right, it was him. He came around 10 p.m. that night, almost when the movie was over. He sat next to me for a while and then left. I thought it was strange, because I thought he was quite funny watching movies. After the movie ended, I suddenly noticed that he had left something on his seat, so I went to the lost and found office to put it down and also posted a lost and found notice in the movie theater."

Ding Jian, who brought her in, took out an evidence bag and said, "Is this it?"

The girl nodded and said, "Yes."

After the girl left, Ji Jie said, "See that? That's your wallet. The bloodstains on the wallet, after DNA testing, belong to the deceased, Lin Ying. It seems you were still quite flustered after killing her. Was my judgment wrong?"

Li Ming sat there with his head down, seemingly deep in thought. Ji Jie called out, "Li Ming, say something!"

Li Ming initially remained silent, but eventually admitted it.

Ji Jie delivered the case closure report to Lao Zheng's office. Lao Zheng came out with the report and said with a smile, "You guys closed this case quite interestingly."

Tian Rui said with a smile, "We have to thank Zhang Yang and Ding Jian for this. Zhang Yang talked to all the staff members in the movie theater and finally found a clue about the girl. Ding Jian, based on Zhang Yang's clue, ran around until his legs were thin before finally finding the girl."

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "Old Zheng, why does that girl who came into the interrogation room look so familiar?"

Ding Jian laughed and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? You think I'd really bring a witness in for a confrontation? That's the internal affairs officer from Group Three. She went in for the confrontation based on the witness's testimony."

Zhang Yang said with a smile, "But to be honest, we have to thank that girl for returning the lost money."

Ding Jian smiled and said, "That's what they mean by 'the net of heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it.'"

At this moment, Ji Jie said, "Old Zheng, when Jiang Dali goes home, I'd like to see him off."

Tian Rui immediately said, "I'll go too."

Zhang Yang said, "You guys go ahead, I need to rest."

At that moment, a Mazda sports car stopped at the entrance of the team. The window was rolled down, and a beautiful woman was sitting in the car wearing sunglasses, as if she was waiting for someone.

Zhang Yang's phone rang. He checked the time and said, "Old Zheng, I'll head off work now."

Before Old Zheng could even finish speaking, he exclaimed, "That kid's fast!"

Tian Rui said with a smile, "Zhang Yang ran so fast, I guess it's that psychological expert named Wang Ye who's here."

Old Zheng chuckled. "They're really together? I've heard about it. That psychologist is really amazing. There was a case where she went in and talked the person into complete collapse with just a few words."

Tian Rui said, "Wow, that's amazing! I'll have to learn from you next time."

After Zhang Yang came out, he saw that Wang Ye was already waiting. He got into the passenger seat and said, "What brings you here today?"

Wang Ye smiled. "Congratulations on solving the case."

Zhang Yang said, "Thank you. Let's go, it's my treat today. Order whatever you want."

In the end, Wang Ye chose a hot pot restaurant. After entering, Wang Ye said, "This restaurant tastes good; I like it."

Zhang Yang looked around and said, "It really feels nice."

The two of them clinked glasses and chatted quite well, and the food was also very good.

Of course, they were all drinking beverages and were all police officers who knew the importance of not drinking and driving.

After they had almost finished eating, Wang Ye asked Zhang Yang, "Zhang Yang, are you free next week?" Before Zhang Yang could answer, Wang Ye added, "Yes, you can't be sure yet, right?"

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Indeed, all I can confirm right now is whether I have anything to do today."

Wang Ye said, "Okay, there's an exhibition next week that I'd like to go see together."

Zhang Yang said, "If I have time at that time, let's go together."

Wang Ye nodded after listening, without saying anything. He stirred the food in the pot a couple of times with his chopsticks, then looked up at Zhang Yang and asked, "So, do you think Lin Ying did anything wrong?"

Zhang Yang picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his bowl. He didn't eat it right away. After thinking for a moment, he spoke. His tone was calm but serious: "We don't judge the victim. What kind of person she was in life, whether she had moral flaws, whether she was perfect or not, it has nothing to do with us. She is lying there, already dead. She only has one identity, and that is the victim."

He paused, as if organizing his thoughts, and then continued, "Even if this person broke the law or did something dishonest while she was alive, as long as she was a victim, we must do everything we can to investigate. We must treat the victims and their families, as well as the perpetrators and their families, with the same standards and without discrimination. This is the rule, and it is also our conscience."

Zhang Yang took a sip of his drink and lowered his voice: "Take this case for example. Some people in the team acted on emotion, which I understand. Maybe I will too in the future. But in the end, my job is to catch the real killer and let the victims rest in peace."

He put down the cup and looked at Wang Ye: "At least, I can live with myself."

Wang looked at him without saying a word, but her eyes lit up as if she were pondering his words. After a while, she lowered her head, smiled, and clinked her drink with his.

Wang Ye looked at Zhang Yang, who was speaking eloquently, as if there was a radiance shining from him.
