Han Yu, with a reminder from the Director of the Comprehensive Governance Office, noticed a man in his early fifties standing nearby, wearing a wrinkled short-sleeved shirt and police pants, who at first glance looked somewhat like the secretary's driver.
"Hello Secretary Lu, hello Agent Li, sorry, I..."
"It's okay."
Secretary Lu took the tea cup from Director Zhou's hand, unscrewed it and took a big sip, then took the cigarette hurriedly offered by Old Zhang, lit it with a match he was holding in both hands, and inquired in the local dialect: "Are you from the Binjiang City Police Department Water Police Team?"
"Yes, here is my work ID." Han Yu quickly produced his credentials.
Secretary Lu put down his tea cup, saw Old Zhang lighting his cigarette, took a couple of puffs, then took the work ID and letter of introduction to inspect before handing them back to Han Yu.
"Here to make an arrest, right? Whom are you looking to apprehend, and from which village?"
