He regained his composure and said to Secretary Liu, "Tell me, when was the last time someone fired a gun in Chinatown?"
Secretary Liu immediately replied, "Fifty years ago."
Evan Stetford chuckled, "Hmm, impressive. Is this meant to commemorate the firing day fifty years ago?"
Secretary Liu hadn't thought of that, and he replied sheepishly, "Are you blaming the Grant Branch, Evan? But the one who hired the hitman was that Female Wizard from the mainland."
"Does the Grant Branch take me for a fool?" Evan Stetford sneered. "How many years have they been operating here? Would they be challenged by a rootless Female Wizard from the mainland? Hiring a hitman, does she have a death wish?"
"...But the gunman testified," Secretary Liu murmured, "We have to rely on evidence for our actions."
