The glass doors of one of the branches of the country's largest news station gleamed under the afternoon sun. Detective Liwu adjusted her jacket, muttering her breath, "They are not going to tell us anything. Nothing is glued firmer than the mouth of a reporter when they smell blood."
Beside her, He Xiao Yi walked with his usual calm stride, eyes scanning the lobby as if everyone and their shadow could reveal a hidden clue. "Their colleague is missing, they will give us something to work with, I am sure."
Liwu snorted. "They are all tense. This is what happens when you work in a business with deadlines."
"We have a deadline too, only if we fail, our files go to the cold case unit." He Xiao Yi flashed his badge to a receptionist, saying with command, "Take us to the news editor."
