10:30 AM, Jiangcheng City highway entrance.
Mr. Ma from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, Li Jian, and Zhang Chao stood beside the black official car with flashing police lights, occasionally checking their watches, a hint of anticipation on their faces.
Mr. Ma took out a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes from his suit inner pocket, expertly opened the box, and handed two cigarettes to Li Jian and Zhang Chao, placing one in his mouth as well.
With a crisp "clack" of the lighter, three wisps of blue smoke swirled up in the gentle breeze.
Li Jian took a puff of his cigarette and smiled, saying, "Mr. Ma, your action this time has made the entire detective team very excited!"
"Haha, really!"
Mr. Ma deeply inhaled his cigarette and shook his head with a smile.
Li Jian continued, "The reception this time is of a very high standard."
Zhang Chao picked up the conversation, flicking ash off his cigarette with his fingertips, "Isn't it just."
