He had no one to arrest or take back to Dixing, since the murderer and victim both died, and he clearly wasn't there when it happened, so I could see him not knowing about it.
Ah, yeah, without the murderer to hand over, Zhao Xinci could've not told him about it. Or reported it very minimally, leaving out who the victim was and her relationship to Zhao Xinci. It's something I can believe of Zhao Xinci.
Like I said, I'd never thought about it before and had always assumed Shen Wei had no idea Zhao Yunlan's mother was dead until the conversation in the park. But rewatching the scene closely, Shen Wei's reaction was more lowkey than I'd remembered, so I started wondering. (I'm always wondering about post-wake-up, pre-episode-1 Black Cloaked Envoy, because we know next to nothing.) But yeah, Shen Wei already knowing about Zhao Yunlan's mom is not my preferred interpretation, either.
