Suddenly, the jingling of keys unlocking a door reverberated outside his cell.

This abrupt exposure to light made Di Yelei instinctively squint, gradually adjusting his sight to comprehend the person who had come.
"Oh, so it is none other than Lord County Magistrate Su himself! What a rare guest you are!"
County Magistrate Su grinned from ear to ear, accepting the torch from the hands of the constable who had accompanied him, and bent down to enter the cell.
