Chapter 21: Tan Jiao 04 (3)
Noticing that his words may have been somewhat impulsive, he cleared his throat and asked, “Could you give me a description of the man?”
After carefully recalling the events that happened, I gave him a blow-by-blow account that he quickly recorded.
He asked me several questions, which I answered promptly. He showed his seriousness toward his job as he wrote down my statement diligently. His questions were simple, clear, and logical, displaying how reliable and authoritative of a policeman he was.
At the end of it all, he shut his notepad and said, “I need you to come back with us to the station. You’ll need to answer some more questions about the case.” Then he added, “The two of you will be fine as long as you have nothing to do with the case.”
I followed him to the car and could not help but ask, “Will I be riding in the same car as Wu Yu?”
He answered, “No.”
“Oh.”
After going silent for a few seconds, he explained, “We’ll let you go after a few hours, then you two can see each other again.” I could not hear any emotion from his calm voice. Even though I wanted to explain my relationship with Wu Yu to him, it was complicated, so I left it as it was.
Plus, I did not think he still had any lingering feelings for me. After all, we had only dated for two weeks, and we did not even hold hands. With his serious personality, he would also feel pretty awkward about it if I explained it to him, right?
