The incident needs to be traced back to a long, long ti ago.
It's unclear when it began, but more and more cases of family mbers going missing and being reported to the police in the Capital City started to arise.
Originally, cases of children being abducted were frequent occurrences, yet cases involving adults mysteriously going missing have also been increasing.
Due to the abnormal nature of these incidents, a special criminal investigation team was established in the Capital City to temporarily investigate these missing persons cases.
After Lin Miaoke was transferred from H City to the Capital City, she had shown outstanding performance and solved over a hundred cases, big and small. Due to her excellent command abilities, she was promoted to the position of deputy team leader of the special investigation team.
A week ago, under the exceptional direction of Lin Miaoke, the investigation team found a clue leading to soone who might be a suspect in this series of disappearances.
This led to a series of undercover operations, but unexpectedly, the suspect turned out to be a dangerous fugitive, and just when a secret apprehension was about to occur, an unexpected incident unfolded.
Now, let's talk about how Xiaofan encountered this situation.
At the ti, Xiaofan and Shen Zuimo had parted ways from Yanhuang Soul's headquarters. Xiaofan intended to find a ride at the intersection and head towards the Ren Family area.
Because it was the rush hour, trying to catch a taxi at this ti was extrely difficult.
Returning to Huaxia, facing the familiar streets and the faces of Huaxia n and won, a warm feeling erged from Xiaofan's heart.
At that mont, looking at the pedestrians on the street, Xiaofan felt a bit dazed.
After being away from ho for over a year, this return to normal life was truly a nostalgic experience.
Walking along, Xiaofan slled a rich aroma wafting through the air, prompting him to stop involuntarily.
In front of him was a small restaurant that appeared modest in size but was bustling with custors.
"Boss, I'd like a bowl of pig trotter noodles."
Yes, Xiaofan went in and imdiately ordered a bowl of noodles he had been craving for a long ti.
During high school, when his parents weren't around, Xiaofan often ate quick als at small restaurants like these, simply enjoying a bowl of pig trotter noodles.
Though he knew he could have a lavish al at the Ren Family's ho, having only breakfast today made Xiaofan swallow several tis because of the tempting aroma.
Since he couldn't find a taxi anyway, he decided to eat sothing to fill his stomach, planning to call Li San to pick him up when he had finished eating. Then he could enjoy a feast at the Ren Family's place.
"Alright, thank you for your patronage. That's fifty, giving you back thirty..."
It's a bit pricey, twenty for a bowl of noodles, whereas he rembers it was only eight back in H City during his high school days. But then again, in the Capital City, where every inch of land is valuable, the rent for this little shop must be quite high.
Because it was the end of the workday, the shop was crowded with custors, many of whom were office workers from other provinces, as well as so local university students.
Regardless, the taste of this shop's food was terrific.
As soon as the noodles were placed in front of Xiaofan, he could sll the rich and authentic flavor.
Naturally, the staff here were quite surprised to hear a foreigner speaking fluent Mandarin.
There was no choice because, when returning to the country, Xiaofan had to conceal his identity, so he ca back to Huaxia wearing a mask under a different persona. Due to the rush, he hadn't yet taken off the mask when he entered this restaurant.
Enjoying the noodle soup, biting into the crispy pig trotter, Xiaofan checked the ti and realized it was getting late. He prepared to call Li San to co to pick him up.
However, just as Xiaofan took out his phone, an unnatural atmosphere filled the small restaurant.
Bloodthirsty... That's right, the scent of blood.
Having survived several life-and-death situations, Xiaofan was exceptionally sensitive to such a scent. It's the sickening aura that only those who have lived through a bloodbath carry.
Before long, Xiaofan spotted a man with a bloody scent sitting down in the restaurant.
After all, the Capital City is a place full of hidden dangers, so encountering one or two people like that is not surprising. Surprisingly, as many as five other n carrying similar auras also walked into the restaurant one after another.
Who were these people? Despite arriving sequentially, it was clear from their eye contact that they knew each other.
Xiaofan was taken aback by the situation, but Huaxia's police were no pushovers, and with Yanhuang Soul guarding, these n wouldn't dare to cause too much trouble.
Xiaofan's assumption was correct; just as he decided not to bother with the situation, police indeed appeared.
Timing aside, the police appeared precisely while Xiaofan was still eating.
With the six n carrying a bloody aura and the appearance of the police, it indicated that sothing was about to happen here.
The restaurant had many patrons, and if a conflict broke out, the unlucky ones would undoubtedly be these patrons.
Thus, if the police had any sense, they would know better than to take action within this establishnt.
If Xiaofan thought it was none of his business, he might have let it go, but having encountered the situation firsthand, he gently placed his phone on the table, awaiting what might unfold.
And the first surprise was Lin Miaoke's appearance.
Indeed, first, a couple of police officers entered the restaurant together, followed by one after another, including Lin Miaoke herself. Notably, Lin Miaoke was wearing a dress that day. Here we won't discuss her dedication to work, but miraculously, she sat right across from Xiaofan.
"Boss, I'll take a bowl of pig trotter noodles, extra pickled mustard greens please."
This girl didn't recognize Xiaofan, which is understandable; being recognized would indeed be unbelievable. After all, not everyone is as insulting familiarly to Xiaofan as Shen Zuimo is.
It's worth praising that Shen Zuimo matured a lot since before; just from his acting alone, no one could guess she was an undercover cop. With those sharp and experienced eyes, she certainly put in a lot of effort into her criminal investigation work over the past year.
After this beautiful policewoman sat down, Xiaofan continued to slowly finish the remaining noodle soup while occasionally glancing at Lin Miaoke across the table.
Lin Miaoke was wearing an earpiece discreetly. Her long hair covered it well, making it unnoticeable without close inspection.
She was likely paying close attention to commands directing the operation. Beneath her sharp gaze, she quickly noticed this foreigner continuously staring at her quietly. In response, the young lady imdiately gave Xiaofan an annoyed glare, as if saying: "What are you staring at? Haven't you seen a beauty before?"
Witnessing Lin Miaoke's reaction, Xiaofan shook his head and smiled. Her fiery temperant was exactly the sa as before, yet whenever they t, sothing unfortunate always seed to happen. Let's see if this ti will be as unlucky as the previous ones.
