In the morning, Bai Chen left his house at 8.30 a.m., after helping his parents set up the Chinese steamed bun shop.
Even though today was a school day, he had already decided not to go.
He walked out to the entrance of Xing Seng Business District in no time.
But as soon as he arrived, he saw two men in police uniforms asking questions of people who were coming and going.
If he had to guess, he would say that the questioning by the two policemen certainly had something to do with the case of Ma Jong and his people’s death, including Hu Tong who had been killed earlier.
Both policemen glanced at Bai Chen for a second.
Once they saw that he was only an 18-year-old boy, they looked away.
Clearly, they were not targeting young people, only middle-aged people and older. That was because that might give them a clue about the culprit.
