Ye Chen didn't go home after leaving the police station; he drove to a neighborhood of single-story houses.
Since the roads inside were very narrow, Ye Chen had to park his car by the roadside and walk in by himself.
The residents here are those who can't afford to buy a house and are waiting for demolition to happen. They've lived here for many years.
Even so, they hope the demolition will change their lives and fate.
Ye Chen is quite familiar with this area; even if there's a demolition, the compensation wouldn't be much.
These houses were originally built illegally. It's only right to tear them down, and while there is compensation, it's very little—far from enough to buy a new house.
Ye Chen stood in front of a small house and knocked on the door.
He came here because there was a person he was looking for, someone connected to a murder case.
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with stubble stood at the doorway. His clothes were patched, and his hair was somewhat messy.
