Chapter Eleven: The Final Chapter

  "Teacher!" After Zheng Hanfei and his group left the Tower of Eyes, a young man who looked like he was only around 25 years old, wearing the standard uniform of the criminal police team, ran up to Zhou Zheng with a smile on his face and asked warmly.

  Detective team leader?! At a glance, they saw the two bars and three stars on his shoulder, Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu exchanged a look, with a hint of surprise in their eyes. They didn't expect someone so young to rise to such a high position so quickly. They both agreed that if this young man appeared in front of old police officers, those old police officers would definitely think they had lived in vain.

  "Ah, isn't this Ling Hua?" Zhou Zheng said with some surprise, "I didn't expect you to become the captain of the criminal police brigade so quickly!"

  "Where, where." Ling Hua scratched his face with some embarrassment, "I'm not comparable to the teacher at all. Besides, my ambition is to be like the teacher, an international police officer, not a police chief here."

  "Good!" Zhou Zheng burst out laughing, "You're indeed the person I've taken a liking to. However, don't say this sentence in front of others, or it will stir up public outrage."

  As he spoke, Zhou Zheng glanced at Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu, who were both looking gloomy, the implication was clear.

  "Who are these two..." At this time, Ling Hua also noticed the two people beside Zhou Zheng and couldn't help but ask.

  "Let me introduce you." Zhou Zheng patted the two men on the shoulder, and whether it was intentional or not, he used a lot of force, causing both of them to grit their teeth. "This is Ou Yang Xiu, and this is Zheng Han Fei, they are both detectives from the Sherlock Detective Agency."

  "Ah! It's that famous..."

  "That's right, especially Little Ouyang, who is still the president of Sherlock Detective Agency, and Xiao Hanfei's reasoning ability is on par with mine."

  "Monster!" Ling Hua couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Zhou Zheng's introduction, causing Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiuzhi to roll their eyes. After all, the two of them were not ordinary people, whereas for this ordinary person, Ling Hua, who had become the captain of the criminal police team at such a young age, he was indeed a monster in the eyes of normal people.

  A big monster found and taught a little monster. After taking a look at Zhou Zheng and Ling Hua, analyzing Ling Hua's respectful title towards Zhou Zheng, Zheng Hanfei immediately came to this conclusion and couldn't help but nod his head. I wonder if Zhou Zheng knew about this sentence, would he directly "reward" Zheng Hanfei with two punches?

  "By the way, Ling Hua," Zhou Zheng suddenly remembered something and narrowed his eyes, staring at Ling Hua, "This seems to be a theft case, shouldn't it be handled by someone else?"

  "Haha!" Ling Hua scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "I heard the teacher was here, so I got excited and ran over."

  "Oh? Has he dropped another case and run away with it?"

  "Teacher, don't joke around! I'm not that ignorant kid from back then, I've long since corrected this bad habit."

  "That's good." Zhou nodded and asked, "Do you have anything on your mind?"

  "Yes!" Ling Hua took out his notebook and said seriously, "Near the Time Tower, in a clump of grass, a female guest who participated in the exhibition was found. She is about 18 years old and appears to have been drugged into a coma... currently unconscious..."

  "Alright, I know!" Zhou Zheng made a stopping gesture with his hand and immediately asked the two people beside him: "It's Xiao Menghan, right?"

  Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiu nodded at the same time, also letting out a sigh of relief in their hearts. Especially Zheng Hanfei, after all, he still wanted to catch up with Zong Ying and ask about Qu Menghan's whereabouts. As a result, Zong Ying escaped, and Qu Menghan was also missing. If the police hadn't found any leads on Qu Menghan, Zheng Hanfei would have been tormented to death.

  "Alright, you two stay here and get checked out to see if there's anything wrong with your bodies. I have some things to attend to, so I'll leave first." Although Zheng Hanfei and Ouyang Xiū didn't seem to have any issues, just in case, Zhou Zheng still sent them off on the ambulance, instructing them briefly before calling out to Ling Hua to leave this place.

  "Wait a minute!" Zheng Hanfei called out to stop Zhou Zheng and Ling Hua, who were turning around to leave. He took out the Shadow Star from his pocket and tossed it to them, saying: "Return this to Yuan Cui's wife, she must be very anxious now."

  Zhou Zheng nodded and said "it's tough" before disappearing from view with Ling Hua, heading towards the possibly still chaotic Shadow Tower.

  "Finally... it's over." Zheng Hanfei let out a sigh of relief. "Unfortunately, we let the remnant shadow escape."

  "It's already good that you can retrieve the Starlight," said Ouyang Xiu from the side, "If you can catch him, then he won't be called a remnant shadow. By the way, what do you think of Remnant Shadow?"

  "Awesome!" These two words are easy to say, but from Zheng Hanfei's mouth, it's a very tricky thing. "I have to admit, I've got another opponent."

  "Not you!" Ouyang Xi corrected, "It's us. If you want to duel him alone, otherwise..."

  At this point, Ouyang Xiou glanced at the bruise on Zheng Hanfei's neck, and the purplish color allowed Ouyang Xiou to imagine how much force Can Yin had used back then, and how much pain Zheng Hanfei had endured.

  "I don't think so!" Zheng Hanfei understood what Ouyang Xiu was going to say, shook his head and denied his theory. "If he wanted my life, I could have died dozens of times before he escaped, but he didn't do that, which means he's not a bad guy at heart."

  "I didn't expect you'd actually speak up for him! Didn't we say we were going to catch and bring him to justice earlier?"

  "This is a different story!" Zheng Hanfei said, "I will definitely catch him, but I don't want you to wear the hat of 'murderer' for him."

  "Suit yourself." Ouyang Xiuzi closed his eyes and said indifferently, "Anyway, I don't know what's going on, and I can't say much more. But my theory is simple: if he killed someone, then he's a murderer."

  Zheng Hanfei fell silent, and as he picked up the residual shadow, he suddenly remembered the bloody scene he saw on the rooftop. However, no matter how hard he tried to recall it this time, it wasn't as clear as before. It seemed that the scene was a part of his lost memory.

  "Hey!" Due to the seriousness of this matter, Zheng Hanfei did not smile and chat with Ouyang Xiuxiu like before. With a serious expression, he asked, "Do you have any lost memories?"

  "Ah!" Ou Yang Xiu said, "Memories from before I was five years old, I'm not clear about at all. If it wasn't for Zhou Zheng Tan telling me about the organization's affairs, plus my ability to change my voice, I wouldn't have known that I had such a miserable childhood."

  "Have you ever had a dream, or seen a scene in a daze?" Zheng Hanfei's voice trembled as he spoke. "It was a scene like hell, with many children crying on the ground, and some children being hung on the wall for brutal torture. You could smell the thick bloody smell."

  "No." Ou Yang Xiu shook his head, "This scene, how did you think of it? Could it be that your memory..."

  "That's right!" Zheng Hanfei admitted, "I don't know what happened, but this scene suddenly appeared in my mind, which is likely to be a good start for me to recover my memory. However, now I feel much more vague about this scene."

  "Is that so." Ouyang Xi murmured, patted his shoulder and comforted: "As the saying goes, all things are difficult at the beginning. Since you can recall a little memory, then you will definitely recall more in the future. Don't be discouraged!"

  "Thank you!" he said, and with that, Zheng Hanfei stood up and walked out of the car.

  "Where are you going!"

  "Go home!" Zheng Hanfei said, "I don't have anything going on, but you were punched by the residual shadow, it's best to get checked out. See you at the club tomorrow."

  Ouyang Xi no longer stopped Zheng Hanfei, he understood that even if he stopped him, it would be useless, and it's better to let him think carefully, after all, his knot was tied by himself.

  Zheng Hanfei returned to the villa alone, his mind still reeling from the bloody scene, causing him to forget that Wang Bo was still at Yu Cui's place and hadn't followed him back.

  What is this scene, after all? Zheng Hanfei lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, his brain constantly analyzing. He always felt that he had seen that scene before, and even experienced it himself. The little kids who were lying on the ground might have included him, he couldn't say for sure.

  This memory must have something to do with the residual image! Zheng Hanfei finally came to a conclusion, wanting to evoke that memory, he had to meet the residual image again, and maybe, the residual image was the key to evoking this memory.

  When the wheel of fate turns, we will decide the outcome once and for all. Recalling the last words spoken by the fleeting shadow as it departed, Zheng Hanfei smiled faintly, looking forward to that day's arrival, although he didn't know what it meant at present, but his intuition told him that on that day, it wouldn't be too late to return.

  "Great detective, looking forward to your growth!" Outside the villa, a black figure took a deep look at Zheng Hanfei, muttered a sentence, and disappeared into the night...
