"Someone hit my shoulder with something, probably to get my attention. By the time I reached the main gate, I saw Jin Zhicheng and that tape recorder," Xiao Chen explained. "As for what hit me, I never found it."
At this, Xiao Chen frowned, looking troubled.
Seeing this, Zou Ming asked, "Is there something else?"
Xiao Chen glanced at Zou Ming, pursed his lips, and said, "Captain, there's something... I'm not sure if my eyes were playing tricks on me."
Zou Ming's interest was immediately piqued. He asked urgently, "What was it? Go on."
"When I looked up, I thought I saw a piece of a vine retracting out the main gate." Xiao Chen scratched his head. "But I immediately chased out the door and saw nothing. I figured my eyes must have been playing tricks on me."
Zou Ming tapped his fingers lightly on the desk. "Anything else?"
