He was a reserved man, not given to idle chatter. With a slight nod, he drove the two of them toward Qingyuan Town.
It wasn't close—the GPS showed a distance of nearly sixty kilometers.
The area was situated on the border of two provinces, with its economy centered on the textile industry and the manufacturing of daily necessities.
The town wasn't large, and its police station was located near the open-air market.
The station itself was small, with a staff of only about ten people.
The station chief was Jiao Guoyi, a man nearing fifty. His temples were already flecked with gray, but he had a very friendly demeanor.
He was somewhat surprised to hear the reason for their visit. "This case is being investigated again?" he asked.
'His use of "again" must mean there have been repeated investigations in the past.'
Lai Yong nodded, then pulled Jiao Guoyi aside to give him a few private instructions.
