Excerpt: The scene before Officer Li left him stunned, bewildered, and utterly incredulous. The valley was steep and towering, with a gully depth of over one hundred meters. Looking up, the eyes were filled with monotonous, dull-colored, and lifeless gray rocks. The cliff face was a tangle of jagged stones, sharp and pointed, forming various grotesque, wolf-like snarling poses. To fall from such a terrifying cliff—not to mention a vehicle—would leave even a skydiver torn to shreds by the sharp rocks.
Officer Li tilted his head, examining the already bent and deformed jeep. From such a high cliff, the car's windows were shattered, door handles broken, and tires scattered. Strangely, the vehicle's frame remained largely intact, unlike the usual twisted, corkscrew-like wreckage. Even more bizarre was the passengers inside. Though their remains were charred and deformed, the facial expressions of each were still clearly discernible.
