A large number of police and forensic experts gathered in the rented house opposite Mingyuan University, as well as below an apartment building about 300 meters behind this rented house.
A death had occurred, so of course, the police were there.
"Captain Lin, we've found that the sniper rifle is real, and three bullets were fired before coming here. The bullet marks were found in the rented house opposite. Two people died over there. We've also identified these three individuals; they used to be soldiers in the Golden Triangle and are now mercenaries." A policeman reported the newly discovered information to his superior.
"Who lived in that rented house?" Lin Miaoke frowned and asked. She knew that the area was mainly inhabited by university students; Capital University was nearby. Could it be that someone intended to harm the students there?
"The tenant in that house is a freshman from Mingyuan University, named Ye Xiaofan..."
"A freshman from Mingyuan College... What? What did you just say his name was?" Lin Miaoke's expression flickered, thinking she misheard.
"Ye Xiaofan."
"And where is he?" Lin Miaoke asked nervously, "Is he alright?"
"Uh, Captain Lin, you know this Ye Xiaofan?" a police officer asked curiously.
"I'm asking you, where is he?" Lin Miaoke impatiently replied.
"The person who reported is still in the rented house, but... Hey, Captain Lin, wait for me."
Upon hearing that the person who reported was Ye Xiaofan, Lin Miaoke immediately headed to the police car and drove towards the rented house.
Ye Xiaofan, oh Ye Xiaofan, I said you were like Conan, and you didn't believe me. Well, guess what, there's been another death.
The two corpses in the rented house lay on the ground with the same cause of death. When Lin Miaoke saw the small trickle of toothpick end from their foreheads, she knew this was the work of Ye Xiaofan.
That night at Zunhuang, she had already seen Ye Xiaofan kill several assassins this way. The situation was exactly the same now.
However, the person who reported to the police was not Ye Xiaofan.
"You're not Ye Xiaofan. Who are you?" Lin Miaoke immediately inquired upon seeing the other person.
No wonder she didn't recognize Lei Xiaolei. Although Xiaolei performed extraordinarily well in the martial arts competition, not everyone was interested. At least, Lin Miaoke only looked up the replay online after learning Xiaofan was the champion, but the footage primarily showcased Ye Xiaofan's battles.
"My name is Lei Xiaolei, a friend of Xiaofan. He had an emergency and had to go, so he asked me to report to the police first. I was at the scene and can give you a statement. But, miss, can you tell me who these armed people are?" Lei Xiaolei also wanted to know who wanted Xiaofan dead. It didn't seem like the Red Butterfly people would be so weak.
"Be serious. Where is Ye Xiaofan?"
"Off picking up girls." Anyway, he couldn't reveal Xiaofan's whereabouts. Otherwise, he might be interrupted.
"This guy. At a time like this, he's still thinking about girls. Now, tell me, what exactly happened?" Lin Miaoke continued to question.
"Well, it's nothing serious. I just came back with him, and he was going upstairs to change his clothes when he called me saying that someone opposite wanted to snipe him. I went to check, and unexpectedly, the sniper accidentally fell and died after seeing me. As for the two at the door, clearly, they were killed instantly by Xiaofan as soon as they entered. Then he went off to pick up girls, leaving me to wait here for the police." Xiaolei noticed the beautiful policewoman knew Xiaofan, so he didn't maintain a formal tone.
"Hey, let me in, let me in."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"Why aren't you letting me in? I'm a friend of Ye Xiaofan. Is he okay? Let me see."
"Let him in." Lin Miaoke said softly.
"Hmm? I think I've seen you before." Lei Xiaolei felt a sense of familiarity upon seeing Li Kuo.
"Yes, at Chen Mei'Er's nightclub. I went there looking for Xiaofan and met you once. Is Xiaofan alright?" It turns out, Li Kuo had known for some time that assassins were after Xiaofan, but he could never get in touch with him. Just now, he heard students talking about a murder here at school, and he rushed over, skipping class altogether.
"Xiaofan is fine; he's out on some business." Lei Xiaolei replied softly.
"Phew, take me to find him." Li Kuo said anxiously.
"Not now. He's busy. Let's wait for him at the nightclub. You can tell me anything that needs to be said first. Oh, police sister, can I leave now?" Xiaolei and Xiaofan were not far apart in age, so calling her sister was not inappropriate.
"You... Fine, your statement is done. Go on, leave your phone number and be ready to assist us in the investigation anytime. Here, sign here."
"Alright."
After signing the statement, Lei Xiaolei originally planned to have a few drinks at the nightclub. However, he realized the bar at the nightclub couldn't possibly open this early, but given their relationship with the owner, getting a drink wouldn't be a problem.
However, on the third floor, Lei Xiaolei unexpectedly encountered Li San, who had been relaxed ever since someone helped take care of his two little ones. With nothing better to do, he would come here and charm the female waitresses, who were constantly captivated by his magic tricks, greatly boosting Li San's vanity.
"What? Are you saying the Red Butterfly posted an assassination order online for three million to buy Xiaofan's life?"
Upon hearing Li Kuo's words, both Li San and Lei Xiaolei couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
"Yes, it's true. I've been hiding it from those few girls, afraid they would worry. The two of you, I've seen on TV, you're both excellent, so as Xiaofan's friends, you should be able to help him." Li Kuo was also a smart guy, but unfortunately, he didn't manage to inform Xiaofan before the assassins arrived. Fortunately, Xiaofan was fine.
"The first wave of assassins failed, so a second wave will surely come. An assassination order is an extremely dangerous task, it's almost unending. Every time an assassin fails the mission, the price goes up until someone completes it." Lei Xiaolei had some understanding of Red Butterfly, and this assassination order was no joke.
"Then what should we do?" Li Kuo frowned, uncertain of the solution.
"This situation must be handled by Xiaofan himself. If he were to come back to my old base, he'd be completely safe, but knowing him, he probably wouldn't want to hide away." Lei Xiaolei was also at a loss, knowing that Ye Xiaofan wasn't the type to run away and hide.
