Fortunately, the police station had an old patrol car.
It fit four people just right, because Director Zheng had brought another female officer.
So, Rong Yan and the female officer took their seats in the back.
The drive to Laiwang Village was quick, taking only half an hour.
"This is it." With Rong Wei guiding, the patrol car stopped right at their doorstep.
The road was wide enough from the village entrance here; otherwise, the patrol car really wouldn't have been able to make it through.
They got out of the car.
Director Zheng glanced at the tightly shut gate, pitch-black inside, and guessed that everyone inside must be asleep.
"Xiao Li, go knock on the door."
Xiao Li stepped forward and raised his hand to knock...
Ms. Li had just gone to bed not long ago, so she wasn't deeply asleep. When she heard the knocking, she woke with a start.
Then she quickly nudged the man beside her: "Hey, wake up. Someone seems to be knocking at the door. Go see who it is..."
