The final six words were powerful, filled with extre anger.
Jiang Yanbo was completely defenseless now, although he was already at this age, the deepest fear within him erupted.
A total of five individuals involved in the case, three had been buried alive, one had been half beheaded.
He didn’t want to be sliced into a thousand pieces!
He was terrified that the other side would torture him to death because he was now the sole target of all hatred.
"Don’t kill , I beg you, I beg you, Xie Dage, I’m a piece of trash, I’m scum, I want to live..."
Hearing these words, Xie Dong’s lips curled into a cold smile.
"You want to live?"
"You’re nearly buried, and you still want to live..."
"What about us! Didn’t the eight of us want to live too?"
The scoldings pierced Jiang Yanbo’s heart like sharp knives, and he didn’t dare to et the other’s eyes, as the fear consud him.
"Xie Dong!"
"Stop!"
The sudden shout shattered the atmosphere on the scene, both Jiang Yanbo, lying on the ground, and Xie Dong, standing nearby, turned their gaze to the direction of the voice.
They saw Luo Fei slowly erging from behind a rock not far away.
Since he hadn’t brought his gun, he didn’t dare to rush in to save the man, so he could only stand nearby and observe.
But he didn’t expect that Jiang Yanbo would be the only one left alive.
If he didn’t act now, Xie Dong’s rage would definitely resolve him as well.
Although Luo Fei had a thousand reasons not to save him, the saying goes that evildoers have their couppance.
"You?"
Xie Dong was very surprised.
"How did you find this place?"
Luo Fei smiled calmly, speaking as he walked towards them.
"From the beginning, I analyzed your psychology. A person who seeks revenge, whether a demon from hell or a survivor on earth, will definitely want these five beasts to atone, so you will bring them to the scene of that accident years ago."
"I guessed you wanted to seek justice in front of your brothers, it’s your right and also the evidence of living for yourself till the end."
"So I let others protect the remaining involved individuals, and ca here alone, but still, I’m a bit late."
At this mont, Luo Fei activated his talent for eloquence, every sentence hitting deeply in the opponent’s heart.
Xie Dong, thinking about living for revenge all these years, finally avenging his brothers at this mont, couldn’t help but shed tears.
Seeing the shovel in the opponent’s hand gradually slacken, Luo Fei held his breath and focused.
Only two hundred steps left from him.
A hundred and fifty steps left...
Just as he was about to close to a hundred steps, Xie Dong suddenly opened his mouth.
"Officer Luo, I know you."
When Luo Fei heard this, he was stupefied.
This kid actually knew him! It was sowhat absurd.
He had just risen to fa, how could such a ghost, who had focused on revenge for a decade, rember him?
"I returned to Jiangzhou City a year ago, after wandering outside for years, I no longer trusted justice and truth, but after coming back and hearing about your deeds, I was deeply moved, there is still conscience in this world, I think it’s worthwhile to have this conversation with you today."
"I know what you want to do, and you know what I want to do."
"I am strong, you know that, but I know, you are stronger, so this hundred-step distance will end here."
Xie Dong smiled, lifted his head, the thirty-year-old face was full of relief, the wrinkles showing more ease than ever.
He had already seen the ending he could face calmly.
"Officer Luo, your arrival is my best end."
"I bear a deep-seated hatred and cannot turn back, I won’t make it difficult for you nor for myself."
Speaking as he did, the shovel in his hand stabbed forth at the fastest speed, fiercely through, spilling a splatter of fresh blood, showcasing the brutal strength in his arm at that mont.
Jiang Yanbo’s head rolled aside, among the five involved back then, none survived.
In that instant Luo Fei realized...
But unfortunately, there were still a hundred steps away, he couldn’t save him.
Yet, for so reason, he didn’t feel heavy-hearted.
Seeing the last enemy also dead, Xie Dong put down the shovel, solemnly bowed to Luo Fei.
"Officer Luo, I’m leaving, please share the rest of the story with the public."
As he spoke, Xie Dong had already reached the edge of the mining pit.
Below was an unfathomable abandoned mine, never refilled after excavation, creating this view, dark and boundless to the eye.
"We were here!"
That was Xie Dong’s last shout, and after he finished, he jumped right off.
All around beca thoroughly silent.
Above were three buried bodies, two were dismbered and beheaded.
Below, there were eight brothers, finally reunified now.
Luo Fei still stood a hundred steps away, neither advancing nor retreating, but sat down where he was, the exhaustion surged over him.
The ten-year long case was finally over.
Belated justice had judged those dominated by greed, indifferent to life, and ultimately all grievances ca to an end.
Later, Luo Fei wrote the case into a report and submitted it.
In theory, this should’ve been Zhao Donglai’s responsibility, plus Luo Fei typically didn’t bother with such matters.
But this ti he broke tradition and completed the entire report very seriously.
For Zhang Wei and the others’ curiosity, Luo Fei only explained this was his last annual report, nothing wrong with handling it personally.
Only he knew that a decade-long injustice could only be recorded by his own pen, this was the only thing he could do for the deceased.
Three days later.
The entire bureau was filled with the bliss of holiday, many remarked on this year’s amazing benefits, magnificent perks ca one after another.
Food baskets were standard, large envelopes and various gift boxes continued without pause.
Because this year, Jiangzhou City’s case-solving rate and overall police service level and approval rate ranked first in Taian Province.
Most were aware it was thanks to Luo Fei’s efforts.
In the director’s office, Zheng Changjun walked over with a large red envelope.
"Luo Fei, I know this year you received a lot of bonuses and annual benefits, but this envelope is from personally."
"In just a year, you’ve made such astonishing contributions, I feel I can retire, hahaha."
Luo Fei felt a bit embarrassed, but still tried to decline.
He could feel at least a ten thousand in the envelope from the director, a personal reward, but he really wasn’t short on money now.
"A gift from an elder, you shouldn’t refuse."
Zheng Changjun laughed as he stuffed the envelope to him.
"Alright, get ready to pack up and head back..."
"Well, wishing you a happy New Year in advance."
"Hahaha, great."
Luo Fei walked out of the office, Zhang Wei and others stood together outside, their eyes filled with gratitude; this year Luo Fei led them through countless solved cases.
"Team leader, thanks to you this year, when we return, we’ll work harder to help more."
Hearing their heartfelt words, Luo Fei smiled.
These friends accompanying him all the way were very touching, fighting alongside them was quite worth it.
"Alright, then we’ll see you next year."
After arranging so things, Luo Fei carried his things and walked out of the municipal bureau.
Reflecting on this journey, accumulating rewards from the system and through his own efforts, he harvested abundantly.
This year, he encountered all sorts of wrongful cases, unsolved cases, mysterious true-false cases, cross-province major cases, and many experiences left him with deep sentints, summing up as dispelling evils, ushering out the old with the new at the final mont.
"Luo Fei!"
Suddenly, he heard a sweet call not far away, the voice was lodious, most familiar.
Looking up, standing not far away was Yang i, akin to their first eting, with the car they first t by parked beside her.
"I ca to pick you up."
"So punctual, did Captain Zhao help you ti it?"
"Stop with the jokes, I’ve been waiting for you here for quite a while."
Luo Fei gently held her hand, wrapped in the chilly weather but felt nothing but warmth nearby.
"Let’s go ho."
"Yes."
