The rain poured down heavily, showing no signs of stopping even during the day.
However, the police officers, together with the neighborhood committee and other officials, were all clad in raincoats, inspecting the scene.
This incident was just too bizarre, so it had to be thoroughly investigated. Otherwise, the matter of someone being struck by lightning would inevitably spark some unfavorable rumors among the public. Officer Wang, the most experienced among them, was leading the investigation.
He was accompanied by a few forensic experts as they examined the scene, while a dense crowd of onlookers gathered around, watching the spectacle. Zhuang Zhixi had taken the day off work, and so had Ming Mei.
Both of them were among the crowd. Officer Wang scanned the area and then waved to Zhuang Zhixi, who quickly scurried over and asked, "Officer Wang, you called for me?"
Officer Wang nodded and asked, "How many times did he slash at the wall while chasing you?"
