satsuma: a whole orange, a halved grapefruit, and two tangerine sections arranged into a still life (Default)

The oranges scene is so soft <3 <3 <3 absolutely devastating

Da Ji's house: Zheng Daqian is angry at the bank -- I'm not sure what's going on, but please let Da Ji have cleaned out the accounts!

Don't remember the exact phrasing but there's a line where he's like "my wife withdrew???" so yeah I think Da Ji did clean him out (or clean herself out, possibly)

At the SID, Lin Jing is putting on a Da Ji show using an old-fashioned projector. "This Zheng Daqian keeps insisting that he killed his wife." (Who uses murder as a defence? I don't think he's smart enough for a life of crime.)

Not sure it's a defense so much as him being super freaked. Which is you know, probably how most people would respond to watching someone resurrect themselves twice

...and why is Lin Jing the one pushing this case? No one else seems to care much.)

Well, we know from the webnovelist arc that Lin Jing reads horror webnovels and can get quite fannish about them. A ~mysterious woman~ who can't die and doesn't age might be right up his alley

Zhao Yunlan says, "He uses the murder cases as cover for slyly punishing his own enemies. Selling fruit was such a waste of his talents." Which seems a bit snide given they've just seen his wife die on video, but okay, the revenge corpses are piling up.

I think it offends ZYL's sense of justice, plus he's frustrated at how long its taking the SID to shut him down. But yeah not his finest moment for sure

How does Da Qing feel about Da Ji? What do you think of her?

I think Da Qing really wants to hang out with other cat Yashou but doesn't have any interest in her specifically. And also doesn't want to hang out with other cats enough to be willing to put up with her poor behavior (even in the flashback to her death, he seems notably uninterested imo, so its not just a lack of memories thing) As for me, she's definitely not my favorite side character! We don't get enough pleasant interactions between her and well, anyone, for me to really see her as anything more interesting than Da Qing's stalker tbh
