The tender yellow Jetta VS5 raced across the vast wilderness, looking from afar like it was here for an outing.
When the car reached the village committee office, four uniformed police officers got out.
"Director Jin." The officer who got out last greeted in the local dialect before giving way to the two officers in the front seat.
"Director Jin, hello, we have a case we'd like to ask for your assistance with." The two detectives who exited first were from Ningtai County, and they spoke in Mandarin now, very politely.
"Director Jin, have a cigarette."
"Director Jin, you've been a director for quite some time, haven't you? Nowadays the grassroots are really held up by experienced folks like you."
The two detectives buttered up the village director with sweet talk, and soon had him all confused.
