The police continuously streamed into the community and searched the buildings of Evening Sun Complex.
That's how it went until around eight o'clock at night.
However, the final result of the search was...
They came up with absolutely nothing!
When Officer Zhang told Lu Yanran this in person, she could hardly believe it.
"You... you've investigated everything?"
"Yes," Officer Zhang clearly found it baffling too as he emphasized again, "We've reviewed the surveillance footage many times, and we had people on guard outside while we searched. We called in officers from several precincts, went through over a hundred households—every possible place where someone could hide, and even places where they couldn't."
Upon hearing "places where they couldn't," a thought suddenly struck Lu Yanran.
