Speed was of the essence. They arrived at Yongsheng New Village just after 12:30 a.m.
Shen Xin got out of the car, leading Baiwan.
He was also carrying a piece of clothing he'd grabbed from the on-duty dorm—it was Zhang Jian's.
A short-sleeved police uniform shirt that hadn't been washed yet.
During the day, a girl who'd been dumped by a playboy had threatened to jump into the Hengxi Canal. Zhang Jian had stood under the blazing sun for nearly an hour talking her down, his uniform soaked through with sweat several times over.
So, the smell was incredibly strong.
"Xiaoshen, why did you bring Baiwan?" Song Liang asked, surprised to see Shen Xin leading the dog.
The moment he asked, he realized why.
"Are you planning to use Baiwan as a police dog? Brilliant! You've got a sharp mind, kid." Song Liang gave him a thumbs-up and told Shen Xin to walk with him.
Reinforcements had also arrived from the Hongmei Police Station.
Station Chief Chen Ju, nicknamed "Director Chen."
