Even after an hour-long investigation, the Chief Inspector refused to release the girl. He was a thirty-two-year-old offbeat local man, who had no idea of Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan's identity. His working style was known to be strange and even out-of-protocol at times. However, despite that, he was an immensely resilient and stubborn person with a deep concern for his town. So people in Earlston, more often than not, chose to let go of his negatives.
Not to mention, amid all the formalities, an advanced handgun had been discovered from the girl's car, thinning her chances of freedom. Although not many people carried firearms in the country, they weren't illegal in Scotland.
