Liao Jianmin gestured toward the corpses and said, "Captain Yu, I’m not sure what happened here either. The police precinct received a report about a homicide; following protocol, they notified the branch station, and that’s when they discovered it was Meng Taiping. That’s why I’m here."
Yu Zheng ordered the forensic team he brought with him to examine the bodies before replying, "I heard about it from a cigarette vendor on the street. Word is spreading fast. We need to report this to our superiors immediately."
Liao Jianmin didn’t know the specifics of the collaboration between Meng Taiping and the Yangtze Company, but as the local power broker, he had a vested interest in Meng Taiping. Now that Meng was dead, his own interests were compromised. He naturally wanted to find the killer, and filing a report was the simplest, most convenient way to start.
