Knock, knock, knock.
"Hello? Is anyone there? We're police, from the criminal investigation unit."
The officers outside the door heard no response. After the doorbell rang, they began knocking on the door.
Xu Juan took off her shoes and walked barefoot to the door. Thinking about yesterday's experience, she decided not to bother looking through the peephole. Instead, she leaned against the wall by the door and slowly sat down.
She now had a bit more experience dealing with the police and wasn't as panicked as she had been yesterday.
Knock, knock.
"Sun Youqiang. This is the police. Please open the door."
"Is Sun Youqiang here? Is this Sun Youqiang's residence?"
"Hello, police!"
The officers remained courteous as they persistently kept knocking.
Xu Juan's eyelid twitched. These officers were specifically calling out her husband's name.
