But by the time Zhang Xiaobei emerged, it was already nearing dusk, and if the entrance wasn't found before darkness fell, searching for the cave mouth would become exceedingly difficult once night enveloped the area.
You must hurry and make the most of your time.
In addition to the issue of finding the entrance, there was another matter that baffled Zhang Xiaobei.
Based on the timing, the police force deployed outside should have reached their designated positions, yet why hadn't there been any noise up until now?
Could it be that Jiang Changhai didn't send out the location in time after I left?
No, judging from what I have at hand, there were no signs of a struggle where Jiang Changhai and I parted ways, meaning he was safe before leaving that place. Hence, if he was safe, he would have definitely sent his location to his comrades immediately.
Then, if the message was sent out, why was there no action from the police force by now?
