When Xiao Luo SIR returned, the car reeked of smoke—even the air was hazy with it.
"Why didn't you open the windows?" Lin Feng hurriedly opened all the car doors and windows.
But Ma Houde seemed not to hear him, as if he were deep in thought... Only after quite some time did Lin Feng get back into the car and tentatively call out, "Officer Ma?"
"Oh... It's nothing. I was thinking about where to buy some milk powder. The feed at home has run out." Ma Houde shook his head, then asked, "By the way, did you find anything?"
Lin Feng could only shake his head. "Nothing much. But I wrote down the license plates of a few cars parked nearby at the time. Hopefully, their dashcams caught something."
Officer Ma nodded, then got straight out of the car. "You head back to the bureau first. I have some things to take care of. I'll look for you later."
"Officer Ma, Officer Ma?"
Officer Ma hurriedly flagged down a taxi and climbed straight into it.
