"Xiang Geng, show everyone how to use this surveillance system,"
Uncle Three led his dog around the monitoring room, strolling casually like a middle-aged playboy.
His mixed Tibetan Mastiff-Schnauzer strutted on its tiny paws, acting as proud as if it was worth a fortune.
Xiang Geng was a somewhat skinny young man with slightly yellowed fingers and a faint tobacco smell on him, the unpleasant kind.
Picked by Uncle Three, Xiang Geng gave a smile and sat down at the monitoring console, saying, "Since the overall system isn't set up properly yet, I'll switch between the cameras for you to see our surveillance range."
He began pressing buttons one by one and manipulating the joystick, showcasing the view in front of the houses in the Jiangcun Residential Area.
Several middle-aged village men who came along looked very serious, saying solemnly, "We can't mess around in the residential area anymore."
