Just at that moment, a lean police officer, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, walked up to Liu Yang's side and said solemnly, "Chief, Fang Kun does not have a good reputation in town, and there's definitely more to this situation than his account of events. We can't just take his word for it..."
The police officer speaking was named Wang Bin, and he had been classmates with Fang Wu in middle school. The two of them had maintained a good relationship to this day. Seeing that the chief was inclined to arrest Fang Wu and the others without further inquiry, Wang Bin felt he couldn't stand by and spoke up for fairness.
Wang Bin was upright in character, fond of getting to the truth, and not skilled at flattering superiors. Moreover, with no significant backing or connections, Liu Yang had never shown this subordinate any favor.
"Wang Bin, are you questioning my decision? Between the two of us, who is the chief here, you or me?"
