Leng Guang was losing it; through the computer screen, he seemed to feel intense malice coming from Chu Kuang!
To come up with the answer, Leng Guang broad were racked for half an hour!
And yet, after all that thinking, a line in the novel goes-
"Leng Guang is a curly-haired baboon"?
In Leng Guang's mind, apes and curly-haired baboons are all part of the same species.
That's precisely what makes Narrative Trickery despicable!
As the reader, you can curse the author all you want, but you can't deny that the author's explanation is impeccable!
Carter's testimony goes:
No one was seen crossing the lone wooden bridge.
Indeed, no person had crossed the lone wooden bridge.
Leng Guang is an ape, a curly-haired baboon, he is not a person!
And as an ape, Leng Guang can easily reach the other side using a rope.
This is plausible, reasonable, and logical.
So cheap!
No wonder people call Chu Kuang an old rascal!
He really is an old rascal, and he emphasizes it shamelessly!
