Uncle Lin's name was Lin Xudong, and he was the captain of the criminal investigation department of the city public security bureau.
As a cop, especially one involved in criminal investigation, his work was incredibly busy. Forget normal holidays, extra shifts every other day were a common occurrence. When on an assignment, it was normal to not go home for a week straight.
Lin Xudong hardly spent any time at home and his daughter was primarily cared for by Zhao Hongjuan. He felt somewhat guilty about this. As the saying goes - daughters are a father's cotton-padded coat close to their hearts. One could imagine how indulgent he was of Lin Xiaoqing.
When he heard that his daughter had invited classmates over to their house and he happened to have a rare day off, he simply drove the car to the school gate to pick them up.
Lin Xudong knew Zhao Yi.
