The serial killer who had been committing one crime after another was quite cunning. He must have sensed the danger, because he had slipped away just ahead of them several times when they tried to corner him. He had also gone quiet for the time being, committing no further murders.
As a result, Wong Yiu-cho and the new recruits from the Miscellaneous Affairs Department had no choice but to start from the basics.
They used conventional investigative clues to look for patterns, tracked down the last places where the evil spirit had appeared, then went through the people there one by one.
This caused their workload to skyrocket and their progress to slow. They could only keep chasing after the evil spirit.
At first, Chow Sing-cho had been suspicious of the Miscellaneous Affairs Department. To make up for his earlier mistake, he was now the most diligent of them all—more so even than Chan Ka-Kui.
He and Cao Dahua had also gone undercover at a high school where the suspect was thought to have appeared.
The two had even gotten into a clash with Fat Corpse and his gang of young thugs at the school.
It was just then that Wong Yiu-cho received a report from Hung Hing. The news caught everyone in the Miscellaneous Affairs Department off guard.
After they arranged a time to meet, they all exchanged bewildered looks.
"Gangsters calling the police? Are you kidding me?"
Cao Dahua couldn't help voicing his frustration.
"Quite a lot has been happening in Hung Hing lately. Ni Kun of Tsim Sha Tsui was killed—assassinated, in fact. But Ni Yongxiao is capable, and he's managed to take control of the situation again."
"Then did they report this because it involved something supernatural?"
Chow Sing-cho was quick to catch on and ask.
