Early Monday morning, Xiao Furen rode his bicycle, taking his wife and mother-in-law back to the county seat. Another busy week had begun.
As soon as Yuan Si arrived at work, she sensed something was off. She found a moment to ask Sun and learned that a murder had occurred in the county over the weekend, while she was back in her hometown for a wedding.
"Captain Fu called everyone back for a full day of overtime on Sunday. If he hadn't known you were back in your hometown, you wouldn't have escaped either." Sun felt a little down, thinking about how she hadn't gotten a day off. Still, no one had expected such a major murder case.
"So, are there any leads?" Yuan Si asked.
"None. They investigated all day yesterday and found nothing. Last night's meeting ran into the wee hours, and none of them went home. They just crashed in the conference room. This morning, they all headed out again," Sister He chimed in.
