Chapter 29: Time Needed
The lockdown and inspections around Jinling Station were lifted soon after. Everything returned to normal.
At this moment, Ye Gaoyi and Xu Zhibin were at the entrance of Zhonghai Station, smoking cigarettes.
Being former classmates and having gone through the events on K331, their relationship had improved.
Xu Zhibin, carrying his suitcase, asked, "Ye, are you really staying in Jinling?"
Ye Gaoyi nodded and replied, "There's not much point in going back. If I can catch Li Xuan, I can retire with honor."
Xu Zhibin was taken aback, then chuckled, "You're still about twenty years away from retirement. Aren't you confident?"
Ye Gaoyi shook his head, "Twenty years? If we can catch him within twenty years, that's good enough."
"I've never seen a criminal like him."
"This kid... I actually kind of admire him."
Xu Zhibin chuckled and fell silent.
In truth, he also wanted to stay. The allure of a challenging case like this was hard to resist for any detective. But what if they couldn't catch him?
