Jiang An slowly stood up and began to pace around.
He carefully observed every blade of grass and every tree around him, as if he wanted to etch every detail of this land into his mind.
Director Hou, Political Commissioner Li, and Mr. Qin unconsciously followed behind him, exchanging a knowing glance with one another.
Within this task force, without anyone quite noticing, Jiang An had quietly become the core and soul of the investigation.
After circling once, Jiang An stopped, pointed at a sudden patch of open ground in the distance, and asked, "Look, up ahead the trees suddenly break off, forming a clear boundary line. What is that place?"
Mr. Qin immediately stepped forward, his expression grave, and replied, "Mr. Jiang, that's a cliff, bottomless."
He paused, then added, "According to the county annals, this cliff formed in the late Ming and early Qing, so it's been there for over three hundred years."
