Chapter 94
The work to salvage Luo Lang’s body did not go smoothly. The terrain was dangerous with rocks everywhere, and the SWAT team took an entire day to descend the cliff to the bottom. Moreover, the valley was extensive, the winds were very strong and the river was turbulent. To search for a body which might not exist at all was much easier said than done.
However, according to the forensic pathologist, judging from Luo Lang’s injuries, there was a very slim chance that he had survived. Possibly, he had one more life left to lose.
Many people were busy, many were anxious, and many were clapping their hands in excitement, ready to celebrate. The conclusion to this earth-shaking case shook the entire police world.
Yet, for the Special Cases Unit, previously the busiest among them, the atmosphere was extremely quiet and stifling.
In fact, from the day that Luo Lang jumped off the cliff, the atmosphere in the group had been terrible, too quiet.
In the gathering darkness, the night was desolate. The sky above the small town was exceptionally quiet and vast.
The wound on Fang Qing’s head was still bandaged. He sat by the window and lit up a cigarette before saying, “I have to go back to Beijing immediately.”
An Yan played with the Rubik’s Cube in his hand; he had solved and re-solved it so many times that his interest had waned and he was sitting there, listless. When he heard Fang Qing, he also looked up and said, “Laoda, I also want to go back for a visit . . . Gu Fangfang has graduated and is looking for a job . . . I have not been back for so long.”
Jian Yao also looked towards Bo Jinyan.
