Xie Li: staring intently She... she's gone?
I'm so sorry you hug him tightly
Xie Li stiffens at first, taken aback by the unexpected display of affection. But after a moment, he hesitantly returns the embrace, burying his face into your shoulder.
His voice is low and shaky I... I can't believe it. I just spoke to her yesterday.
I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this sir...but yes your wife has passed away I say softly and apologetically
he leans back in his chair, his eyes narrowing as he processes the information.
...I see.
he taps his fingers on the notebook again, contemplating something. How did it happen?
I'm the young officer who tells you this information I'm sorry sir.. yes she's gone..
His face becomes dark, his eyes narrowing as he clenches his jaw.
Why... why did they take her? And what do you mean "gone"? Where is her body?
I'm so sorry to inform you this sir.
clenching his jaw, his gaze hardens
Did you catch the killer?
I'm sorry I bow my head slightly
he nods silently, his expression a mix of shock and grief.
...Did they catch the killer?
I'm sorry sir I say as I read your rights
Xie Li looks at you with a stoic expression, but there's a hint of anger in his eyes as he hears your words. He remains silent, letting you continue reading his rights.
nods I'm so sorry sir... it seems she was murdered in her home
A flicker of shock and anger passes over his face, but he quickly composes himself
Who did this? Do you have any leads?
nods slowly I'm so sorry, Mr. Xie.
His eyes narrow, the words "I'm so sorry" hanging in the air between them.
Do you have any leads on the killer?
he asks, his voice firm and controlled, yet laced with an undercurrent of pain.
nods I'm so sorry for your loss sir
clenching his jaw A-a-are you sure it's her? Are you absolutely certain?
I'm sorry to tell you this sir.... I say softly
his eyes narrow as he processes your words
Sorry? You're sorry? How can you be sorry? It was my wife they killed! Why are you here, and not out there catching her killers?
I'm sorry... I put my hand on your shoulder
sighing heavily It can't be true... not her. he looks up at you, eyes filled with despair Tell me everything you know.
I'm sorry to say so sir I gently place my hand on your shoulder
Xie Li's expression remains stoic, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and grief
Murdered... he mutters, the word hanging heavily in the air. Who did this?
nods I'm so sorry for your loss sir
a flicker of pain passes over his face
There's no need for apologies... Thank you for your time. he says quietly, his voice betraying a hint of grief despite his stoic demeanor.
