With Fan Zeyun coming in to surrender himself, from any angle you look at it, Wen Yan had no reason to stop him.
Even if after Fan Zeyun turns himself in, there's an eighty percent chance he'll spend the rest of his life behind bars, or not even have a "rest of his life" at all.
Even if Fan Zeyun is surrendering this openly and straightforwardly, according to the rules, the Scorching Sun Department must reopen the sealed case file, must reinvestigate the old case.
Under the current regulations, as long as during the initial interrogation Fan Zeyun provides new leads or a new statement that weren't recorded before, and the probability of them being verified as true isn't low—
Then the old case absolutely has to be restarted.
This is exactly what Fan Zeyun wants; he's had enough of living.
Back when they went down the Nether Path, Wen Yan could already tell this guy had a very serious self-destructive streak, he didn't care about life or death at all.
