When he saw the rank on the newcomer's epaulet, his pupils suddenly contracted.
Mr. Ma looked down at him imposingly, "I am the Director of Public Security."
"Director?"
The man's voice suddenly turned dry, "I... I'm innocent..."
"Innocent?"
Mr. Ma snorted through his nose, "You are Li Dong?"
As soon as the words fell, the man across from him unconsciously raised an eyebrow, a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
He licked his cracked lips, "Li Dong? Who is Li Dong?"
"I don't know what you're talking about..."
Mr. Ma didn't respond but instead lifted an evidence bag and shook it before him.
Inside the transparent plastic bag, two clumps of charred material were vaguely visible.
"Do you remember this?"
Mr. Ma's voice suddenly lowered, "That night ten years ago..."
"You're missing two pieces of flesh from your lips!"
