Li Jie had been detained for six and a half hours, feeling cold, hungry, and scared, truly experiencing what it feels like for one day to feel like a year.
He didn't want to just sit and wait, so he forced himself to say he needed to use the restroom. After getting approval from his superiors, the police officer watching him took him.
As they walked to an office door, he vaguely heard someone talking inside.
"The traffic police have installed many cameras at the ferry and along Yanjiang Road, and the Marine Department also has CCTV monitoring by the river. We've reviewed everything thoroughly, and on September 21st, he didn't come to Binjiang. The murder that happened in Lang Mountain Waters shouldn't be his doing."
