"Oh, looking good, Captain Lin."

"Why is it you again? Even though I've been hiding in the hospital, you still won't leave me alone?" Lin Miaoke looked extremely reluctant upon seeing the visitor.

"Hey, I came to sincerely visit you today. Look, I even bought flowers." Shen Junjie gestured with the flowers in his hand as he spoke.

"I think you're just checking when I can be discharged to continue helping you find your missing sister. Honestly, your sister might no longer be in H City." Lin Miaoke pursed her lips as she spoke.

"Maybe." Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

An elderly man, dressed in a vintage gown, walked in with a smile on his face. He seemed to be around seventy years old, but he looked rosy and his eyes were sharp.

"Elder Ren? Why are you here too?" Seeing the visitor, Shen Junjie quickly stood up straight, respectfully bowing to show his respect.

"You are? Grandpa Ren?" Lin Miaoke also seemed to recognize the old man, but wasn't too sure, as it had been many years since they last met.

"Haha, Miao'ke, you still recognize Grandpa, huh? You've been worrying your grandfather to death. Now that I'm in H City, he insisted I come to see you. But you look quite spirited." Old Man Ren laughed gently.

"I'm fine, it's just my grandfather making a fuss over nothing." Lin Miaoke pursed her lips as she spoke, but judging by her expression, she was quite fearful of her grandfather.

"Elder Ren, when you walked in, you said 'maybe.' Do you mean Zuimo is still in H City?" Shen Junjie was indeed still concerned about his own sister.

"Hmm. I came this time because I got word that Blood Wolf has returned to H City, and following him, the Life-taking Five Ghosts are about to arrive. Aside from your sister, I can't think of anything else that would bring the Life-taking Five Ghosts to H City." Elder Ren's tone was calm, but his expression was very serious.

"Life-taking Five Ghosts? They're coming too?" Upon hearing this code name, Shen Junjie looked at the elder in shock.

Although Lin Miaoke hadn't heard of the Life-taking Five Ghosts, seeing Shen Junjie's expression, she could guess that these Five Ghosts were not ordinary.

"What are the Life-taking Five Ghosts?" Lin Miaoke curiously asked.

"They're five assassins. By now, they must be around fifty to sixty years old. They made their name thirty years ago and during these thirty years have secretly assassinated over three hundred important figures across twenty-three countries worldwide." Shen Junjie slowly shared the information he knew.

"That impressive? We must quickly notify the director." Lin Miaoke had learned her lesson this time.

"It's no use; ordinary special forces can't deal with these Five Ghosts. Thirteen years ago, I had a confrontation with them. Back then, I didn't have the confidence to stop them all. Now thirteen years have passed, I've aged, but they can still run." Even though Old Man Ren spoke this way, his expression showed no sign of resignation.

"This is bad, Elder Ren. If their target is Zuimo, they might have already found Zuimo's hiding place. We need to find Zuimo before they do." Shen Junjie said anxiously.

"I fear this matter is related to a student at Seventh Middle School. Junjie, back when you blocked Blood Wolf, they were about to go downstairs. This means they had already learned from the hotel owner who the high school student was that was with your sister back then." Old Man Ren analyzed.

"But at the time, we had people follow those selected students and didn't find any problems with anyone." Lin Miaoke recalled the situation and said.

"No, Junjie's sister was trained into an assassin through extreme measures, and hiding should be an assassin's forte. It's normal for ordinary police officers not to find any clues. If Blood Wolf had already found that high school student beforehand, then their target is likely with that high school student." Old Man Ren's analytical skills were indeed impressive.

"What? Then we must conduct another thorough investigation on those twenty-some high school students." Lin Miaoke said, reaching for her phone.

Only then did she realize her phone had a broken screen from running earlier and was sent for repair.

"No need to investigate everyone. Junjie, do you remember the time you and Bing confronted Blood Wolf?" Old Man Ren continued.

"Hmm, it was around twelve o'clock sharp. Seventh Middle School dismissed about twenty to thirty minutes after that."

"Miao'ke, do you recall how many students you were tailing left school around that time?" The question followed promptly.

"By then, students had almost all left. Around twelve o'clock should be the last few, and within ten minutes there seemed to be only three. I was following the last boy to leave school. His name is..."

At this point, Lin Miaoke's goosebumps suddenly rose. Oh my god, it seemed she discovered something very bad. Could it be, it's this punk?

"What's the name, tell us!" Shen Junjie asked urgently.

"Ye Xiaofan."

"Ye Xiaofan? That name? Isn't he the one who got trapped in the valley with you this time?" Shen Junjie immediately remembered.

Lin Miaoke suddenly fell silent, frowning and recalling the situation distinctly.

"Oh, Captain Lin, got guests?" Just then, Hao suddenly walked in: "Captain Lin, here's your phone, and it's fixed."

Seeing the phone, Lin Miaoke immediately took it and powered it on, then searched through the photos saved on the phone. Fortunately, during repairs the data wasn't lost, and all previously taken photos were saved well.

"Shen Junjie, can you understand what this is?" Lin Miaoke pulled out a string of random characters photographed earlier in front of Ye Xiaofan's home computer and handed the phone to Shen Junjie.

"Hmm? This is? Military secret communication code? Elder Ren, look at this..." Upon seeing the jumbled code, Shen Junjie's eyes suddenly widened: "The content on it is, 'has a tail, hide well.'

'Thump.' Lin Miaoke immediately climbed out of bed. The pain from her injured thigh made her walk with a noticeable limp, feeling rather uncomfortable.

"Hao, go check Ye Xiaofan's family situation right away, investigate all his relatives thoroughly. Shen Junjie, it's highly likely your sister was with Ye Xiaofan earlier. Back then, he was the last to leave when I followed Ye Xiaofan to his house. And before that, he sent a message to himself using his phone, saying that the screen didn't lock well, which is why it sent automatically. I was suspicious and took some photos down; later, because of the Blood Wolf and your injuries, it slipped my mind."

"What." Shen Junjie, belatedly realizing, felt as though he should immediately rush to Ye Xiaofan's home.

"Hao, why are you still standing around, hurry up. Shen Junjie, I'm sending you Ye Xiaofan's home address now. Maybe we still have time."

"Don't send it, just tell me directly..."
