In the dead of winter, the mountains become damp and cold after nightfall.
Without food or clothing, even with hunting skills and survival training, it would be tough to endure in the forest for long.
Thus, the urgent priority is to immediately set up an inescapable net in the surrounding area.
Lessons must be learned from the previous failed mountain search; Yang cannot be allowed another chance to escape swiftly and break through the encirclement.
Otherwise, nightfall is approaching.
Once it gets dark.
As a professional killer, Yang would find it even easier to retreat undetected, making it impossible to corner him.
For instance, he could take advantage of the darkness to silently reach the river, dive in, and drift downstream—who could possibly see him?
The police dogs won't catch the scent, night vision equipment won't spot his figure, and infrared thermal imaging would be useless.
In short.
The investigators are now racing against time.
