After the interview, the reporter asked Lin Fanglu to inform them immediately if he found any clues. Given the warning significance of the Millennium Eve husband murder case to society, they planned to make it a key topic. In addition, the reporter learned that Lin Fanglu was the first student from Qingshui Town to be admitted to a key university and planned to include this information in the report, but Lin Fanglu refused.

The case was quickly published in the newspaper and attracted widespread attention. Zhou Luo, as the sole eyewitness, instantly became the focus of public opinion. Lin Guixiang was worried that the Xu family's anger wouldn't subside, and since Nan Ya was out of their reach inside, they might target Zhou Luo. Lao Zhou reminded her not to overthink it, saying the Xu family wouldn't dare act rashly at this time.

Lao Zhou saw his son return from outside holding Wan Wan and warned him to mind his own business and focus on his studies. Similarly, Zhang Huashan lamented that Zhou Luo witnessing the murder case would definitely have a psychological impact, yet he was unwilling to give up this golden signboard. Zhang Qingli returned home and heard her parents' conversation, learning that Nan Ya might face the death penalty, and her heart was filled with mixed emotions.

His girlfriend Wen Ting came to Qingshui Town to visit Lin Fanglu during her vacation. While discussing Nan Ya's case, she sensed that Lin Fanglu had sympathy for the perpetrator. However, Wen Ting only hoped that Lin Fanglu would handle a few more major cases and return to the city soon to get married. Lin Fanglu remained silent, and the two ended up sleeping in separate beds.

While sorting through photos, Liu Xun discovered a photo that could prove his father did not abscond with money. He determined that Xu Yi had framed his father, which was why his father was forced to hide and dared not show his face. Lin Fanglu found Xu Yi's rented place based on the photo and discovered many company ledgers and clues beneficial to the case inside.

Subsequently, Lin Fanglu, Lao Chen, and others attended a municipal bureau meeting to report the case progress to their leaders. From the account files in the safe, it was clear that Xu Yi was indeed the mastermind behind the bridge case. He gained huge profits by purchasing fake materials and modifying the construction plan and costs, and transferred and hid this money through various companies.

Furthermore, based on the hair found in the sewer and the items left in Xu Yi's room, they analyzed that Xu Yi very likely had an affair during his marriage and was cohabiting with a woman. Because the other party was very secretive, neither the landlord nor the neighbors had ever seen her. Although there were signs of the room being pried open and entered, the intruder was very cautious and left no fingerprint information.

The municipal bureau leaders believed that the bridge case involved huge sums of money and two lives, and it was consistent with Nan Ya's confession. This indicated that Xu Yi killed to silence Nan Ya and prevent her from reporting him, leading Nan Ya to kill in self-defense in a state of panic. Combining the evidence and witness testimonies, Xu Yi's motive for murder and Nan Ya's self-defense were both established.

Precisely because of this, the municipal bureau leaders asked Lin Fanglu to write the report as quickly as possible and told everyone that times were different, and perspectives should change accordingly; the legal definition of such criminal behavior would become increasingly clear and comprehensive.

Considering that Nan Ya was a long-term victim of domestic violence, there were eyewitnesses, media support, and attention from the provincial department and the Women's Federation, the handling of the case must be done with extreme caution. Although Lao Chen did not agree with this conclusion, he could not change public opinion. Lin Fanglu returned to his alma mater classroom, reminiscing about his student days, and Nan Ya's face appeared before his eyes.

In contrast, the relationship between Wen Ting and Lin Fanglu became increasingly cold, completely lacking the deep affection between lovers, but that night, Lin Fanglu still chose to share a bed with Wen Ting. Because of Zhou Luo's prominence at school, Liu Xun harbored resentment towards him.

Afterwards, Liu Xun learned from netizens that Zhou Luo had been ordered to withdraw from school due to a sex scandal, and the person who left with him was also a female teacher over forty. After class the next day, Liu Xun deliberately pasted the female teacher's photo on the blackboard to provoke Zhou Luo, triggering a fight. Chen Jun arrived in time to stop Zhou Luo, preventing a tragedy.

After returning to the dorm, Chen Jun asked Zhou Luo about the identity of the woman in the photo. Zhou Luo did not answer directly but followed Chen Jun to his home for dinner, where they happened to meet Lin Fanglu.

At the dinner table, Zhou Luo revealed the details of Xu Yi chasing and hacking at Nan Ya with an axe, and the scene later where Xu Yi slipped and fell onto Nan Ya with a knife in his chest. Chen Ling could not tolerate Zhou Luo absolving Nan Ya and left angrily again. As Lin Fanglu and Zhou Luo walked back, Lin Fanglu stated that Nan Ya would soon be classified as acting in self-defense because of Zhou Luo's testimony.
