Before long, Wan also returned from outside.
As soon as he stepped in, he acutely sensed the oppressive atmosphere in the office.
The room, usually full of life, was eerily quiet, with the air seemingly frozen in place.
He quickly reined in his habitual smile, tiptoeing to his seat, afraid to shatter the suffocating silence.
Finally, after a long pause, Captain Li Jian broke the silence.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces, finally resting on the case files on the table.
"It seems that there are indeed significant issues with this case now."
"At first," he continued, "we thought it was just an ordinary death case, but it has turned out to be much more complicated."
He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath, "It's now almost certain that this is a robbery murder case."
No one contested this conclusion.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the office grew even heavier.
All that could be heard was the rustling of papers and the sound of breathing.
