Is it really that amusing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glared at the burly man and angrily kicked away the plastic bag on her legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burly man scratched his head, not daring to talk back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another man with a full beard saw this, stifled his laughter, and stepped forward to ease the awkwardness:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, Chen Lei, you guys say less. It’s normal for a girl to be nervous in this situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bearded one was none other than Cheng Leyi’s old teammate, Lin Xuhao. He promptly picked up the umbrella from the ground and handed it to Cheng Leyi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, just a false alarm, don’t stand in the rain, let’s go over there for some cover.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A young man with sleek silver hair put away his handgun, his expression back to serious, and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was the commander of this operation group, code-named \"Fisherman,\" Xu Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The group gathered under the eaves of a nearby closed shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cheng Leyi pulled out a small mirror from her handbag, looked at her slightly smudged makeup, and annoyed, took out her compact to touch up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rain intensified, large raindrops pounded on the metal canopy, producing a dense \"pat-pat\" sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lights from the distant skyscrapers appeared blurry and remote through the rain curtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The rain keeps getting heavier, the weather forecast says it’s going to last for two more days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A team member complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not just rainy days; East Capital is so big, that bastard can hide anywhere, it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack, really hard to find.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another team member chimed in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuhao raised his wrist, glanced at the time on his watch, then looked at Xu Fei:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xu team, it’s already past eleven, shall we call it a night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s hold on a bit longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fei shook his head, his gaze sweeping over everyone, saying deeply:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve combed through the case files again, those thirteen cases, have you noticed any patterns?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The killer strikes at the beginning of each month, and after completing three hunts, immediately switches to another area.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From Jiangbei East, to Jiangbei South, then to Wenchuan West, Wenchuan North, Jiangdong Middle, he never stays in the same place for too long.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This shows he’s extremely alert, even obsessive-compulsive, but it’s also this paranoia that allows us to lock onto his activity patterns.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fei’s voice was particularly clear amidst the rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Currently, there’s only been one incident in Jiangbei East, so his next target is very likely still here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in all of Jiangbei East, only Yingchun Road has the most nightclubs and bars, making it easiest for him to find lone women returning home late at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s already held out for over a month, I don’t believe he can keep on holding back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t appear during last week’s storm, so tonight or tomorrow night is the most likely time for him to act.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under Xu Fei’s leadership, this ad-hoc operation team had been staking out this street for five rainy nights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Team Leader Xu, it’s just a pervert who bullies women. When he shows up, we’ll break his legs!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, let him fall into the hands of our Special Search Team, we’ll show him what regret is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The team members talked tough, trying to disperse the gloom and fatigue brought on by this rainy night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fei nodded slightly. This operation was his first independent lead since being promoted to Level One Officer, only success was allowed, not failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Cheng Leyi had finished touching up her makeup and casually tossed the compact back into her bag.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she took out a tissue, wiped the wig that had been soaked by the rain, and complained:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wearing this thing is really troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled off the smooth long wig in a single motion, revealing the neat, short hair underneath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura she exuded instantly shifted from seductive and alluring to bold and charismatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t be helped, the killer has a peculiar preference for women with long hair.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Fei smiled and said, \"Thank you for your hard work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Lei suddenly chimed in: \"The bait needs to be adequately feminine to attract the target.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Cheng Leyi raised her brows:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?
