The Lin family's little boy returns to being eight years old, taking his family to new heights.

The group arrived at a dilapidated neighborhood.

Lin Xi glanced at her surroundings; it would be strange if there were surveillance cameras in this place.

The roads were full of potholes, and the fitness equipment was rusty, with some parts broken.

The children's playground equipment is now reduced to just a few broken parts.

The entire neighborhood was permeated with an old and decaying atmosphere.

As I entered the building, I saw several elderly people chatting together at the entrance.

Lin Xi couldn't help but ask, "Have the old people here never seen him?"

Yan Feng shook his head. "It's no use. There's a factory nearby, and many workers rent houses here. Strangers come and go frequently, and the elderly can't remember or distinguish them at all."

Tsk, no wonder they chose this place to hide.

After going up to the third floor, Lin Xi saw a familiar figure squatting on the ground drawing circles.

Yan Feng sighed and rubbed his forehead. "Why are you here?"

Wu Zheng insisted on coming along in the morning, but Yan Feng, remembering his unpleasant argument with Lin Xi last time, decided not to bring him.

I never expected to make it this far.

Wu Zheng threw down the wooden stick in his hand, stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "I just came to see if I could find any new clues."

He actually just wanted to see how Lin Xi would find evidence.

Although I'm a little afraid of her after she taught me a lesson last time.

But this feeling is like watching a horror movie; even though you're scared, you can't help but cover your face and peek through your fingers.

Lin Xi didn't care.

She didn't dislike Wu Zheng.

There's nothing seriously wrong with him, he's just a bit of a smart aleck.

Upon opening the door, the room was small and easily visible.

A bed, a wardrobe, and a simple wooden table and chairs.

A bathroom.

Although Lin Xi doesn't have much talent for solving cases, she has watched quite a few crime dramas.

They conducted the inspection in a very professional manner.

I carefully examined the area under the bed, the mattress, the pillowcases, and the blankets.

Then he went to the bathroom, lifted the water tank, and peered inside.

Seeing her expression, Wu Zheng couldn't help but say, "We're very professional, okay? These things have already been checked."

Lin Xi ignored him and continued her examination.

Finally, we walked to the wardrobe, where there were three sets of clothes.

A suit, a deliveryman's uniform, and a repairman's uniform.

With these three outfits, you can go to almost any place.

So, what kind of clothes were on that empty clothes hanger?

Cleaner? Beggar? Police uniform? Or women's clothing?

"Xiao Yi, can we still use that 'searching cordyceps' from last time?"

"Host, it's unusable; it's beyond the scope."

"Is there anything we can use?"

“By looking back at the beef jerky, we can recreate the scene.”

Lin Xi reached into her backpack, took out a piece of beef jerky, tore open the packaging, and started chewing.

Mmm, delicious, so fragrant, but it's a bit tough on your teeth.

Wu Zheng and the others saw her suddenly start eating.

He looked completely bewildered.

Do you get hungry so easily...?

Until the last bite is swallowed.

She closed her eyes.

An image of a middle-aged man dressed in all black sitting at a table eating instant noodles appeared in my mind.

Halfway through his meal, he seemed to remember something and put down his fork.

I went to the bathroom, stepped on the toilet seat, and took out a phone card from the exhaust fan.

After putting it in my phone, I dialed a number.

It wasn't until the third time that they finally answered.

"Boss, I've been betrayed and exposed."

"Yes, got it."

He hung up after only two short sentences.

He took out the SIM card and put it back into the exhaust fan.

Then he opened the wardrobe.

Lin Xi finally saw that it was a sanitation worker's uniform.

After changing, he picked up his clothes and went out.

This concludes the scene replay.

When she opened her eyes, Wu Zheng and the other two were staring at her intently.

"What are you looking at me for?"

Can I not watch? I've never seen a crime-solving method like this before!

She ate after the check-up, and then closed her eyes. They almost thought the little girl was going to take a nap there.

Lin Xi walked to the bathroom and tilted her head to look at the exhaust fan.

"Brother Zhao Yang, come and hug me."

"Hey, good."

Wu Zheng rolled his eyes. "Hmph, lackey."

A jar of pickled vegetables was enough to win him over.

"Higher, higher..."

Finally, Lin Xi simply stepped on Zhao Yang's shoulders.

We finally found the phone card.

She reached out and took it.

Turning around, he saw Yan Feng looking surprised and Wu Zheng with his mouth agape.

The two then rushed over excitedly.

Yan Feng took the phone card first, "Xiao Xi, thank you! Thank you so much!"

His ecstatic expression was as if he had found gold.

"Ahem, not to discourage you, but even if you had this card, you might not be able to find him."

"As long as there is a clue, we will do our best to investigate!"

Yan Feng looked solemn, as if he were making an oath.

"Brother Zhao Yang, put me down."

"Oh, alright."

To be honest, the little girl was so soft and cuddly, it was a little hard to let go of her.

Lin Xi walked around the small room with her hands behind her back.

He said confidently, "I have four points to make."

"First of all, this phone card shows signs of having been used, but since it has been used, it hasn't been lost."

This indicates that the person who can be contacted by this number is extremely important.

It's very likely that he's his boss.

"Secondly, as a drug trafficking leader, he would definitely have his own code words when answering the phone."

It's very likely they'll only answer on the third call.

"Third, one outfit was missing from the wardrobe, which was what he wore when he last left home."

Based on the first three outfits, we can conclude that the last outfit is extremely ordinary and unlikely to attract your attention.

It's very likely a sanitation worker's uniform.

Fourth, what I said is very likely true!

The three of them stood there stunned, and for some reason, they felt that everything she said made perfect sense.

Lin Xi spread her hands, "So you now have his boss's contact information and his appearance."

But it's still very difficult to catch him.

"Brother Zhao Yang, please carry me downstairs."

Zhao Yang picked up Lin Xi, with Yan Feng and Wu Zheng following behind like little followers.

Lin Xi closed her eyes, and in her mind, she saw a sanitation worker walking downstairs, then turning right and walking straight...

"Turn right."

Zhao Yang turned right without hesitation, and the two behind him remained silent.

The little girl's behavior may seem nonsensical, but the results are often unexpected.

Just follow along.

"Go straight."

"Cross the street."

"Turn left."

……

Two hours later, Lin Xi opened her eyes, her brows furrowed.

She pointed to the blind massage parlor across the street.

“I suggest you surround this place; it’s a drug den.”

"He went in here and never came out again."

Yan Feng's expression was grave. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure. You all need to be careful."

Zhao Yang is a die-hard fan; he believes everything Lin Xi says.

Although Wu Zheng was skeptical, he was convinced by the previous incident and what happened today.

He felt that it was better to believe what a little girl said than not to believe it.

Instead, he said first, "You two stay here and keep watch. I'll go back and report to the director."

Yan Feng quickly waved his hand, "You and Zhao Yang stay here, I'm going back."

He was afraid that when Wu Zheng reported to the bureau chief, he would demonize Lin Xi.

It's safer to tell him yourself.
