Because he was targeted by the Assassination Order, Xiaofan cautiously approached the door and looked outside through the peephole.
The front door had been repaired by the landlord, but the bullet marks had not yet been fully removed, and the scratches beside the doorknob were still clearly visible.
'Knock knock knock.'
The sound of knocking ca again.
After seeing the person outside the door, Xiaofan couldn't help but be stunned and wondered: Why did she co?
"Ye Xiaofan, I know you're inside. I just saw Liu Siyan crying and running out, then Chen i'Er followed her downstairs. Open the door quickly."
'Click.'
Xiaofan helplessly opened the door and said to the woman outside: "Officer Lin, what brings you here at this late hour?"
"What? Not inviting in? Conan-kun?"
Conan-kun! Lin Miaoke's special nickna for Xiaofan. Conan is the protagonist of a Japanese detective manga, and also known as the Death God elentary school student, who brings death wherever he goes.
Whenever Lin Miaoke ets Xiaofan, she keeps encountering cri cases. After several instances, a case has finally happened to Xiaofan.
"Have a seat."
Xiaofan stepped aside, letting Lin Miaoke co in.
Today, Lin Miaoke was not in her police uniform, probably because she was off-duty, wearing a gray-white leisure outfit with pale running shoes, exuding youthful energy.
Her fair neck showed alluring collarbones, and there were so sweaty marks on her eyebrows, seemingly just after jogging.
Yes, Lin Miaoke was off-duty, but after dinner, she has a habit of running along the roadside alone to maintain a good figure. If she gains weight, it would definitely hinder her actions.
As she ran, she sohow ended up near the university. Coincidentally, there had been a shooting here earlier, and she hadn't yet found Xiaofan to clear things up, so she decided to co up and see if Xiaofan was around.
Unexpectedly, before crossing the road, she saw Liu Siyan crying and holding her face, running to a private car and going back ho. Later, Chen i'Er ca down. Obviously, Xiaofan was here.
"Kid, what's going on with you? Did Liu Siyan find out you were having an affair? Yet, you're still so calm when caught? You're quite shaless." Lin Miaoke teased.
"Then why did you co to find at such a late hour? Are you also looking to have an affair with ?" Xiaofan said, opening the fridge and tossing a bottle of juice to Lin Miaoke.
Thanks to Ren Ling staying here before, his life was well-cared for, with a fridge full of food and drinks. Xiaofan didn't have to go out in the middle of the night when hungry or thirsty.
"Oh please, I don't care how indulgent your private life is. I just ca by to ask, what's the deal with those assassins from before?" Lin Miaoke knew about Shen Zuimo, but Xiaofan was never short of beautiful won around him.
"This should be a question for you police officers, right? Protecting ordinary citizens is your duty." Xiaofan said, pursing his lips.
"But you're not an ordinary citizen. Even if we want to protect you, we need your cooperation. So, any leads on those assassins? Have you offended anyone lately?"
Lin Miaoke's judgnt was quite accurate. Who did Xiaofan offend? That's why he was being retaliated against.
The person Xiaofan offended was a major problem, Red Butterfly, a vast assassin organization even Yanhuang Soul couldn't handle, let alone the police.
"Who could I have offended? Maybe soone is jealous because I'm too handso and hired a hitman to kill ."
"What a shaless remark." Lin Miaoke playfully rebuked, then looked seriously at Xiaofan: "I'm serious, since we've known each other, I don't want you to die suddenly without a reason."
"Hmm? Alright, if I think of any leads, I'll call you."
"Deal."
"Deal, you can go now."
"You're in such a hurry to send away—are you hiding a woman at ho?" Lin Miaoke asked curiously.
"Nah, I'm just about to shower and sleep."
"Oh, I see. Then..."
Ring ring ring ring... At that mont, Lin Miaoke's phone suddenly rang.
"Hello. It's ..."
"What? Another one died? Hmm, understood, I'll head to the scene right away." Lin Miaoke hung up and promptly turned to Xiaofan: "Xiaofan..."
"If sothing urgent ca up, go ahead, bye-bye." Xiaofan said indifferently.
"No, you happen to be here, and I want to ask you to help , borrow that Conan-kun brain of yours for solving cases."
"Ah?"
"Co on, I'll treat you to so late-night snacks later."
"Hey, I haven't showered yet, hey hey..."
Without a word, Xiaofan was forcibly taken out.
Coincidentally, Lin Miaoke had run over, so Xiaofan drove to the cri scene.
"Seriously, I'm not a cop, and I don't know if there are still assassins trying to kill . Is it really okay to just run out like this?" Xiaofan said unwillingly while driving.
"Anyway, I'm fed up, it's been a week, three gang leaders have died in succession. Without a leader, these thugs are causing chaos at night, affecting the citizens more than a bit." Lin Miaoke said softly.
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan frowned. Gang leaders dying mysteriously is suspicious.
In the Capital City, major gangs like Chen Baicheng's are few, but there are plenty of small gangs. If one occasionally dies, it's possible due to turf wars, but three dying at once is odd.
Upon arriving at the cri scene, Xiaofan saw the corpse and was stunned; he knew this person—it was Ying, who had previously coerced him into throwing a fixed match. Unexpectedly, he was now gruesoly dead here.
The cause of death was a bullet through the lung. No clues were left at the scene, and the death occurred at Ying's ho.
What were the assailant's motives? The targets were consistently gang leaders. Then what? Trigger a fight between their underlings? Expand their own power?
This clearly wasn't wise. As soon as the police found the biggest beneficiary after the death, they would launch an investigation.
"Hey, Conan-kun, did you find anything?" Seeing Xiaofan's serious expression, Lin Miaoke couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Please, the mangas are deliberately designed that way, and I'm not an Immortal who can find the killer without any clues." Xiaofan pursed his lips and continued examining.
