The next day, Xu Lan arrived at the police station early in the morning. He was keen to find out if there was anything new from Qiu Ling's side after the news got out last night.
He made a call to Xiao Xu in the morning. However, Xiao Xu's answer was disappointing. Qiu Ling seemed to be unaware of the development and carried on with her daily routine - work, gym, and sleep.
"Are you sure that you've followed her closely?" Xu Lan squinted his eyes. His pupils were dark as a dried well, one could never know what would crawl out from within.
"Sergeant Xu, I'm sure! Even if Qiu Ling so much as sent a message with her handphone, we would've been alerted. She didn't send anything strange last night," Xiao Xu answered with conviction.
"Alright, keep following after her. Let us know if anything comes up," said Xu Lan after a moment of deliberation.
