Li Yu walked out of the subway station and, after asking for directions from a grandma walking her grandchild on the street corner, quickly found a market nearby the residential area.
Inside, he bought a sea bass weighing one pound and two ounces, which the owner killed and cleaned on the spot. Then he bought two pounds of beef brisket, two pounds of ground meat, as well as vegetables and seasonings.
After leaving the market, Li Yu swung by a small supermarket next door, where he bought a package of chopsticks, a bag of rice, and a bucket of peanut oil; he had also wanted to buy some miscellaneous grains to make porridge, but he simply couldn't carry anymore.
In the end, Li Yu walked toward the residential area holding a hodgepodge of items.
As he passed an internet café, Li Yu noticed three teenagers outside, one of whom was wearing the uniform of City No. 27 High School, cornered against a wall by the other two.
