Zhu Xiaoyue's police uniform was no longer wearable; it was covered in blood.
Li Xiaoyao drove to a clothing store and bought two women's T-shirts and a pair of jeans, then he took a turn in the lingerie store next door.
After buying the clothes, Li Xiaoyao got back in the car and said, "Wait for me in the car, I'm going to fill up the Mercedes with gas."
Li Xiaoyao went to fill up the Mercedes with gas and also bought two barrels of oil to put in the trunk as a backup.
After filling up with gas, Li Xiaoyao drove to a secluded area of the county. He got out of the car, looked around to see that there was no one else, and then quickly went to a van, removing its front and rear license plates and attaching them to the Mercedes.
Having done all this, Li Xiaoyao drove the car to an ordinary motel, then walked back to the BMW.
Zhu Xiaoyue had been waiting in the car for almost an hour. At first, she was patient, but as Li Xiaoyao didn't return, her worry grew more and more intense.
