"Speaking of which, I have to thank you. Because of you, our public security brigade has improved a lot recently. Many people have reported feeling safer, and the director even gave us a special commendation!"
"ah?"
Zhou Qiqi was a little confused.
Captain Li blinked, offered no explanation, and simply waved for Zhou Qiqi to get back to work.
Officer Tan and another officer, Officer Wu, helped carry the snakeskin bag and escorted Zhou Qiqi back to her stall.
Ever since Zhou Qiqi entered the police station, the vendors outside have been craning their necks to watch.
As soon as they saw the person return, the surrounding crowd instantly gathered around, eager to see what had happened.
"Wasn't he arrested? How come he was released so quickly?"

Zhou Qiqi shook her head and gave a grateful smile.
"It's alright, we owe you all a lot for being our witnesses this time."
The older sister patted Zhou Qiqi's hand and said.
"It was all Sister Zhao's idea. She said the police wanted to use the clothes you sold as evidence, so I remembered to go home to get them. I didn't expect it to be such a big help..."
