Chapter 788 - 731 Locking
Wang Chuanxing ran up the mountain and, after taking two boxes from the assembly point, he quickly made his way back down.
Then, two other police officers ran up, each grabbing an investigation box and heading down as well.
Tao Lu, who was discussing manpower allocation with the director, couldn’t help but stop talking when he saw people continuously coming up to collect things. He abruptly called out to one of them, asking, "What are you all doing?"
"The team lead, Jiang Yuan, found an area down below that is suspected to be a resting place used by the murderer. He asked us to bring down investigation equipment to try to sweep for some evidence," explained Shen Yaowei, who was stopped. He made things very clear in just a few sentences.
Tao Lu, who had already been discussing manpower issues with Director Chu, exchanged a glance with him, then said hurriedly, "Let’s go together."
"Yes," Shen Yaowei answered. He called over a young officer to take his investigation box down first and then led Director Chu and Tao Lu, along with the others, downward.
The 200-plus-meter mountain path wasn’t far to walk, but to Director Chu and Tao Lu, it felt like a long distance.
That’s because what Shen Yaowei said was too clear, filling their hearts with anticipation.
At the same time, they feared their anticipation might be misplaced. After all, it hadn’t been very long since the dismemberment case began. To say there was a major breakthrough already didn’t seem realistic. For the same reason, they didn’t feel it would be appropriate to ask again, as it could show a lack of common sense.
This is akin to a factory leader asking a worker, "I heard you moved 800,000 bricks by yourself today?" No one would seriously entertain such a statement.
