In the police station, after completing the statements of two individuals according to convention, the police officer left. Lin Zhang was the last one to give his statement; when he came out of the room, the furniture store owner was already audaciously waiting outside.
Lin Zhang had guessed earlier that a man who could own such a large furniture store must be involved with both underworld and mainstream society. Coming out now and seeing the owner chatting warmly with a junior police officer only reinforced Lin Zhang's belief that this was not a good man.
The furniture store owner had a bad temper. Initially, it was Lin Zhang's son, Lin Zhao, who had caused trouble at his shop, and his son's debts had not yet been settled. Now the father had come to cause more trouble, not just causing trouble but even picking a fight with him.
