That night, many people had not yet fallen asleep.
Huang Qiangmin tossed and turned in bed for a long time, like practicing the rolls of death alone, or like simulating the tension on the line when big fish are hooked.
Huang Qiangmin put himself in the shoes of others, considering what he would be willing to give if there were a major unresolved case on his list.
First, the twenty or thirty main forces of the special case team, the so-called officers, would forget about going home or sleeping. If there was something pressing, they would take leave; if not, they would stay and work. There was no need to talk about overtime—the concept didn't even exist for police, as it wasn't supported by laws or regulations!
Next, other police officers in the criminal investigation brigade would have to bear two to three times their usual workload while still being ready to assist the special case team at any moment.
