Ren Yu Episode 2

Where is Su Lin?

This episode begins with the witness to the three girls harassing Su Lin, her mother sees something amiss and comes to check on her daughter, but the bullies monitor from a distance. Jiang Ting makes up a story to convince her mom she’s ok and gets her inside. A worker comes by and puts the cover back on the water duct. The intro does an excellent job of combining ordinary with mystery. Jiang Ting’s mom knows something is off and even with a storm in progress checks out the duct area and finds SuLin’s school supplies. I find myself smirking when rich girl is tormented by her evil deeds and the storm creeps her out. She deserves whatever comes her way. WeiHing canal becomes a police site trying to ID a Jane Doe found behind the grate. I don’t know how that rookie is paid enough to dive in the trash filled water to get the body. 🫣😷 He should get hazard pay. He didn’t have on any protective gear or diving equipment. They are linking this body with two last cases and wanting Du to confirm similar markings on the body just recovered. Tai Wei is the rookie gopher that does not make near enough for the jobs they make him do. 😝 No sympathies for the haunting of MaNa’s conscious. 😝 She’s earned every bit of it. Daddy will have to try to cover this up for her. Good luck with that. 😝They hired a worker to check the drainage ducts but nothing was found. Ma Na has convinced herself Su Lin is hiding to scare her. 😝Jiang Ting’s parents are separated and/or divorced so her dad came to visit when she was exploring the drainage area like her mom had. She saw the worker climb out and came home to her parents fighting. I am wondering if an older sibling was one of the dead girls from the canal. That would explain the mom freaking out and the broken family. Also the need for mother and daughter to explore the site. What is most reprehensible is Su Lin’s parents not having any of their daughter’s school info. It is registering on the mom a bit how little they know about their own child. I find myself surprised Su Lin even had school supplies. The drunken father scene was very like his doc character. 😝The police are trying to determine the killer’s dumping spot, but the ducts are intricate so it’s taking awhile ti figure out currents etc to backtrack from final destination. What’s muddying the waters with Su Lin’s disappearance is that the victims was 18-20 range. Ma Na’s dad has put himself I. Charge of making contacts to find Su Lin. He actually has, but he has muddied the waters by having the dad work overtime. Su Lin has been gone for two days. The mom cares only because her work horse is gone. She has no other reason to care. Rich dad and poor parents struggling over phone to get police involved when little brother shows up on the scene. Su Lin missing and the third victim’s body showing up makes for rich dad thinking the body is Su Lin’s. He doesn’t want his daughter’s life ruined while he lets her off to ruin somebody else’s. All of these parents are failures. The one thing I find myself curious about is why Jiang Ting hid Su Lin’s schoolboy and has t mentioned it to anyone. It is hard to know if this helped or hurt Su Lin considering who is looking for her. This episode has several sources exploring the same area for completely different but intertwined reasons. This juxtaposition of Su Lin and dead victim keeps everybody looking for answers. What lengths will the rich family go to to hide Ma Na’s part? And what efforts will Su Lin’s family make on her behalf? Those remaining silent are as guilty as the ones that did it because the mom trashed crime scene and hid evidence, and the daughter hasn’t said anything to school teachers so no one is looking in the right place for Su Lin. 😝🙄
