At this moment, Mr. Chen hurried over quickly.
However, when he saw Detective Captain Jiang An and several technical officers gathered in a narrow corner discussing in low voices, a strong sense of unease swept through his heart.
He quickened his steps, almost stumbling as he pushed through the crowd, bending down to look under the low bed.
In that instant, his breath halted.
Under the bed, there were two bodies tightly embraced.
Mr. Chen suddenly staggered backward, taking two steps back, his heel hitting broken bricks, nearly causing him to fall.
Fortunately, a quick-witted officer behind him grabbed him, preventing him from collapsing onto the ground covered in ashes and sewage.
To be honest, after 25 years in the police force and 10 years as a station chief, Mr. Chen had never faced four dead bodies at once.
This wasn't a regular police matter, not a neighborhood dispute, not petty theft—this was about four human lives.
