After the case ended, Luo Fei visited Ma Yeni's school, and although it was difficult, he still inford Professor Zhao.
The old and the young just sat in the office for a long ti.
They didn't speak, but the heavy emotions within them remained unresolved. Eventually, the old professor slowly took off his glasses, wiped tears with his handkerchief, and after a long pause, slowly uttered a sentence.
"People ultimately walk the paths destined for them, and what remains for others to rember are the true traces of their existence."
Listening to the other person's words, Luo Fei nodded.
On Ma Yeni's phone, there were still two final academic papers and a summary report of her research topic left by the other party.
Since this was left earlier, Luo Fei handed them over to the old professor.
A female doctorate student's fate turning like this is hard for anyone to accept, especially with such an absurd manner of death...
Although her father and brother would eventually pay the price for this, how could it ever bring back that vibrant life?
Back at the bureau, Liao Xingyu and the others had returned.
"Old Luo!"
Everyone was excited to see Luo Fei, crowding around eagerly. Many things had happened on both sides during the brief absence.
"I heard you went to do academic discussions. How did the learning go?"
"Definitely! They invited high-level criminal investigation experts, and the lecture content were cases we've never encountered before. It was truly exciting."
"How do you feel now?"
"Feel? I feel terrifyingly strong now. Bring a cold case, a decade-old unsolved mystery, any complex case will do—I'm invincible. Feel free, everyone."
Listening to the other person's words, Luo Fei chuckled.
"Say less, this kind of situation is better minimized."
Liao Xingyu also laughed heartily.
In the days that followed, the bureau was relatively calm, but Li Jun and Zhou Fan remained unseen.
According to Zhao Donglai, they went to investigate a case in the mountainous region at the Jiangzhou City border not long ago.
But it's been three days, and there has been no new progress or results, which is indeed unexpected.
After hearing about this, Luo Fei keenly realized there must be special troubles involved, or they would have returned by now given their capabilities.
Mountainous areas have difficult paths, traffic problems, and shortcomings. If an ordinary case involves low difficulty in investigation, it usually doesn't appear in such places, so this case likely involves multiple lives.
"Old Liao, I have a feeling this case is tough. We need to be ready to support."
"Yes, Li Jun and Zhou Fan usually cooperate well, but this ti it's taking too long."
"Get ready; it won't be long before we need to act."
As expected, that night, while eating in the cafeteria, Luo Fei and Liao Xingyu received a WeChat ssage from Zhao Donglai.
Just two words: Gather!
Inside the captain's office.
"Just as you two expected, Zhou Fan sent a ssage requiring our criminal police team to send people for support, specifically naming you two. This case seems substantial, not in scope, but in number of personnel involved."
"What's the specific situation?"
Luo Fei still wanted to ask, but his question was interrupted by Zhao Donglai.
"Don't ask now. I'll send you the case data, review it slowly on the way. Set out tonight; taking the highway will help us catch up by dawn."
It was evident that the situation was urgent; before the two could clear their thoughts, Zhao Donglai pushed them out.
Zhang Wei and others even packed their luggage for them, adding extra clothes as it's supposedly cold in the mountainous area. After boarding the car, they set off towards the destination.
On the way, they finally had ti to study the case information left for them.
"Missing? Large-scale missing? Adventure seekers group missing?"
Liao Xingyu muttered the contents written above, with a face full of curiosity and confusion.
Logically, these adventure seekers would pick suitable places for their trips, either populated areas or explored places with guides given.
Heading to unknown places recklessly seems unsuitable for normal people.
Certainly, it's another group of young people seeking thrills.
Luo Fei also expressed agreent with this.
People's pursuit of excitent nowadays is understandable, but most often neglect potential dangers.
In those mountainous areas without visible paths and crises, there are not only wild beasts but possibly endless topographic disasters that a fragile body can't resist—slight carelessness could an paying the price of life.
"This ti, quite a few people are involved. Look, the whole group consisted of over thirty people, and only ten have been found so far."
"Sigh..."
Liao Xingyu sighed deeply.
"It's really tough for Li Jun and Zhou Fan in that place—it's difficult to extract the remaining twenty-so people even with a thorough search."
"I have another point of curiosity."
Luo Fei said seriously.
"Initially, they mobilized the fire brigade and a large number of ard police for assistance, but the results were minimal. Are these twenty-sothing people..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but they understood each other perfectly.
There's always such a possibility!
Although it's the mountains, it doesn't an it's desolate.
These adventure seekers are either facing wild beasts or people, changing the outco altogether.
If it's the forr, the possibility is that their bodies might be lost forever.
