Jie had entirely forgotten that police would have to be involved until their appearance at the office and he straightened up.
"Let them in."
A minute later there was a knock on the door and the door opened and two plainclothes police officers came in, Jie directed them to sit on the chairs opposite him.
"We came around to the hospital to get your statement but we were only able to find Mrs Xhi and that is why we are here." One of the officers began. "Is there a reason why you were in a hurry?"
"That is right," Jie said, "I got treatment for my injury and left because there was no point waiting around and I had some work to attend to."
Their question brought back the memory of Natzin in that man's arms and he shifted uncomfortably in his seat.
The officers shared glances with each other then turned to him.
"Can you give us a detailed description on the incident that happened to you and Mrs Xhi this morning?"
