I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

At this moment, the door of the emergency room suddenly opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked out. Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei immediately greeted him and eagerly asked about Fu Siyuan's condition.

"He was hit by a heavy object. He has an open wound on his shoulder and has lost a lot of blood," the doctor said seriously. "We've performed emergency hemostasis and sutures, but his injuries are serious and require further observation and treatment."

"Is his life in danger?" Zhang Wanqing asked nervously.

"His condition is currently stable and he's not in danger of death," the doctor replied. "However, he will need to stay in the hospital for a while for rehabilitation treatment."

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, but they were still worried. They knew that although Fu Siyuan's injury was temporarily stable, the recovery process might be long.

"Thank you, doctor." Zhang Wanqing said gratefully, "Can we go in and see him?"

"Yes, but he's still recovering and needs to stay quiet," the doctor reminded. "Try not to disturb him once you go in."

Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei gently pushed open the door and walked into Fu Siyuan's ward. Fu Siyuan lay on the bed, plugged into various monitoring devices. His face was slightly pale, but his breathing was steady. Seeing that he was safe and sound, Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei finally felt relieved.

"Fu Siyuan, how are you?" Zhang Wanqing asked softly, trying to make her voice sound calmer.

Fu Siyuan opened his eyes slightly and saw Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei. He smiled weakly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"You scared us." Li Wei said, with a hint of blame in his tone, but more of concern.

"I know I've caused you some trouble." Fu Siyuan said softly, "But I'm fine, really."

Zhang Wanqing sat by the bed and gently held Fu Siyuan's hand: "You need to rest well. We still have a lot of things to do and we need you."

Fu Siyuan nodded, a look of determination flashing in his eyes: "I will recover as soon as possible. You should also be careful. The 'Ghost' will definitely not give up."

"We will," Zhang Wanqing said. "Just focus on recovering from your injuries. We'll take care of things here."

While Fu Siyuan was in the hospital, Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei did not stop their investigation. They knew that the "Ghost" could launch a new attack at any time, and they had to find out his next plan as soon as possible.

"We need to use this time to sort out all the clues again," Zhang Wanqing said. "The Ghost must still have a weakness, and we're sure to find it."

Li Wei nodded, and they quickly returned to the police station to continue analyzing Ghost's communication records and device data with technical experts and intelligence analysts. They believed that as long as they found Ghost's true identity, they could completely destroy his conspiracy.

Fu Siyuan gradually recovered in the hospital. Although his injuries were still serious, he always maintained an optimistic attitude. He knew that his comrades were fighting the "ghosts" outside, and he had to recover as soon as possible and return to them.

Although the "ghost" has been temporarily stopped, his conspiracy seems to have just begun. Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan and Li Wei know that they must uncover the truth behind the "ghost" as soon as possible, otherwise the city will face a greater crisis.

While Fu Siyuan was recuperating in the hospital, Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei quickly returned to the police station and, together with technical experts and intelligence analysts, continued to analyze the clues of "Ghost". They knew that time was running out and they had to quickly find the true identity of "Ghost" and his next plan.

After returning to the police station, Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei quickly assembled their technical team and began an in-depth analysis of all known clues. The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and serious, and everyone knew they were racing against time.

"Let's start with Ghost's communication records and devices," Zhang Wanqing said. "He must have some pattern or habit, and we can find clues from it."

Technical experts quickly retrieved data from devices found in office buildings, water conservancy hubs, and warehouses and began analyzing them one by one. Ghost's frequent references to the "Water Shadow" plan in his communications, as well as the identical code sequences he used on multiple devices, suggested he might have a fixed pattern of action.

The "Water Shadow" plan was a series of sabotage operations orchestrated by the Ghost targeting the city's water system. Its core objective was to disrupt the city's water supply and create widespread chaos and panic. This plan involved not only sabotaging the city's major water plants and pipelines, but also using cyberattacks to disrupt the water monitoring system, plunging the city into a severe water crisis within a short period of time.

Ghost sent activation signals through encrypted communication channels, coordinating its accomplices to act simultaneously at multiple key nodes. The complexity and secrecy of this plan made it difficult for the police to detect its full scope at first, until Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei discovered relevant documents and communication records in Ghost's base.

Technical experts tracked the encrypted communication channels used by Ghost and, by analyzing the source and transmission path of the communication signals, they located the source of the signals in an abandoned factory area on the edge of the city.

"We've discovered a strange pattern," the technical expert said. "Before each action, Ghost sends a code through a specific encrypted channel. This code seems to be a start-up signal."

"This means he may have a fixed command center." Fu Siyuan said, "We can use this channel to track him backwards."

The technical team acted quickly, using advanced technology to reverse-trace the encrypted channel. After several hours of effort, they finally locked onto the source of the signal - an abandoned factory area on the edge of the city.

"The signal is very weak, but we can determine where it comes from," the technical expert said. "The Ghost's command center may be in that factory area."

"We have to go there quickly and take a look." Zhang Wanqing said, "We can't let him escape again this time."

The police quickly assembled a special forces team and headed to the abandoned factory area for a search. Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei also went with them. The factory area was desolate, its abandoned buildings and piles of debris giving it a particularly eerie appearance. The special forces entered the area cautiously, weapons in hand, as if facing a formidable enemy.

During their search, Li Wei suddenly discovered a hidden basement entrance. Everyone carefully entered the basement and sealed off the "Ghost" command center in one fell swoop.

The Ghost's command center was discovered. Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei took the documents and equipment found at the scene back to the police station and combined them with clues previously found in the office building and the water conservancy project. By analyzing these clues, they further confirmed the Ghost's identity and next steps.

Although the Ghost has been apprehended, his remaining forces are still secretly observing the police's actions and preparing to launch new attacks. Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei know that this battle between good and evil is far from over. They must remain vigilant and be ready to respond to the Ghost's next move at any time.
