Zhou Weiqi did not leave immediately, knowing that Lu Xingzhi was going to the police station after dinner. Instead, he stayed in the ward to accompany Jiang Yao.
Many people in the police station worked through the night. When Lu Xingzhi walked into the office, the smell of coffee assailed his nostrils. There was a cup of coffee on everyone’s table.
“Sergeant Lu, you’re here?” The person sitting closest to the door was the first to notice Lu Xingzhi. It was very strange. Lu Xingzhi was clearly from the army to assist in the work and was not their leader. However, when they saw Lu Xingzhi, they were even more nervous than when they saw their captain.
“Sergeant Lu, do you want coffee? We’ve been working all night, so everyone needs to be alert, right?”
“Please help yourself.” Lu Xingzhi was not stupid enough to think that those people would know that he would be there that morning, so naturally, they would not have his share of coffee. They just wanted to make sure that he had one. They were so nervous that they did not know where to put their hands and feet. That was why they did not have anything to say.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Lu Xingzhi walked into the office and went to look for Captain Hao.
Captain Hao was on the phone with someone when Lu Xingzhi walked in. He raised his eyes and looked in the direction of the door. Then, he pointed at the chair opposite him and gestured for Lu Xingzhi to sit down.
After waiting for a few minutes, Captain Hao hung up the phone. He yawned and asked, “How’s the situation at the hospital? It’s been so many days, and we don’t have time to go to the hospital to visit them.”
