Song Guanchao was a bit confused at first, but then quickly realized that since he wasn't a police officer, he must have been sent by Secretary Liu.
This was a misunderstanding.
He quickly called out to the old man's back: "Sir, I'm not one of Secretary Liu's people."
The old man's limping steps paused slightly, and after a second of hesitation, he slowly turned around with a suspicious look in his eyes.
Song Guanchao knew he was doubting his identity, so he added more fuel to the fire: "Sir, I'm here to investigate a case."
This statement finally made the old man resolve. He came over, opened the courtyard door, and without a word, turned to walk into the house. Song Guanchao quickly followed.
They entered the living room, and the woman on the sofa looked up.
Seeing a stranger, there was clear wariness and fear in her eyes.
