Reborn in Hong Kong Island, I can see loyalty

Chapter 670 Capturing the Remnants

"Inspector Ye, the assassin has been subdued!" a police officer reported respectfully, his tone tinged with excitement.

Ye Haoxuan breathed a sigh of relief, slowly withdrew his foot, staggered back a step, leaned against the wall of the cubicle, and gasped for breath.

He looked down at his injured arm; the gauze was completely soaked with blood, and the wound was still oozing blood. The pain made him feel cold all over, and his face turned pale.

The fierce battle had almost exhausted all his strength, and with his wounds bleeding continuously, he was already on the verge of collapse.

But a relieved smile appeared on his face—the fleeing Black Blade Group assassin had finally been captured. He was not allowed to escape, nor was he allowed to harm innocent civilians, nor was he allowed to go to Miyamoto Musashi with news of the breached stronghold.

“Very good,” Ye Haoxuan said, his tone still firm as he composed himself. “Take him into custody and keep him under strict guard. Immediately send him to the police station and hand him over to Sandy. Have her interrogate him thoroughly, taking into account Sato Ichiro’s interrogation statement, to see if she can extract more clues about Miyamoto Musashi, as well as the Black Blade Group’s other secret hideouts and smuggling channels.”

"Understood! Inspector Ye!" the officers replied immediately. Two officers carefully carried the subdued killer out of the cubicle and escorted him to the police station.

Ye Haoxuan took a deep breath, enduring the pain and dizziness in his body, and slowly straightened up, walking towards the outside of the cubicle.

At this moment, the police officers who had been searching for Ye Haoxuan had all gathered around. Seeing that Ye Haoxuan had subdued the killer, they all showed excited expressions and cast admiring glances at him.

"Inspector Ye, you're amazing!"

"Inspector Ye, are you alright? Your arm is bleeding again!"

The officers spoke with a mixture of admiration and concern.

Ye Haoxuan waved his hand, forced a smile, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm fine, just some minor scratches, nothing serious. Everyone, please do your best to search this abandoned internet cafe immediately and see if there are any other clues, such as weapons or communication devices left by the assassin, or anything related to the Black Blade Group or Miyamoto Musashi. Don't overlook any detail."

"Understood, Inspector Ye!" the officers replied immediately, and sprang into action, carefully searching every corner of the internet cafe, leaving no stone unturned.

Soon, a police officer found an encrypted mobile phone and a small USB flash drive in an abandoned computer host in an internet cafe.

He strode up to Ye Haoxuan and said respectfully:

“Inspector Ye, look, we found an encrypted phone and a USB drive. They look like they were left by the killer and should be important clues.”

Ye Haoxuan's eyes lit up. He took the encrypted phone and USB drive and examined them carefully.

The phone is black, the screen is cracked, and it looks a bit old, but the body is intact and should still work normally.

The USB flash drive is small, made of ordinary metal, and has no markings on it, making it very discreet.

“Very good,” Ye Haoxuan said in a deep voice, with a hint of barely perceptible excitement in his tone. “These two items are important evidence. They must be kept safe and sent to the police station immediately. Give them to the technical department and have them crack the phone’s password as soon as possible to check the contents of the USB drive and see if they can find any useful clues, such as where Miyamoto Musashi is hiding or other secrets of the Black Blade Group.”

"Understood, Inspector Ye!" the officer replied immediately, carefully taking the encrypted phone and USB drive before quickly turning around and delivering them to the police station.

Just then, Ye Haoxuan's phone rang. It was Captain Li calling. He immediately pressed the answer button, his voice still somewhat weak, yet firm:

"Captain Li, this is Ye Haoxuan. What's the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Captain Li's excited yet respectful voice came through:

"Inspector Ye! Congratulations! I just heard that you successfully captured that escaped assassin! That's amazing!"

"Yes, they've been apprehended," Ye Haoxuan nodded and said in a deep voice, "The assassin has been taken to the police station and handed over to Sandy for interrogation. In addition, we also found an encrypted phone and a USB drive in the internet cafe, which have been sent to the technical department for decryption. I believe we'll have new leads soon."

"Excellent! Inspector Ye!" Captain Li's voice was even more excited. "With this, we have completely destroyed the Black Blade Group's two secret outposts in Hong Kong, and captured all the assassins. Not a single one escaped! Moreover, we also seized a large amount of drugs, weapons, and contact lists. This operation was a complete success!"

Ye Haoxuan's tone remained serious: "Don't be careless, Captain Li. Although we have destroyed two secret strongholds of the Black Blade Group, captured all the assassins, and found the contact list and some clues, the leader of the Black Blade Group, Miyamoto Musashi, is still at large. He is our biggest target. Moreover, the Black Blade Group's smuggling network spans Japan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia. Destroying only the two strongholds in Hong Kong is far from enough."

He paused, then added, “You immediately take care of the scene at the Mong Kok warehouse and abandoned internet cafe, inventory the seized goods and evidence, make records, comfort the families of the injured and deceased officers, and properly handle all follow-up matters. I’ll rest for a bit and then rush back to the police station to meet up with Sandy. We’ll combine the interrogation statements and the newly found clues to plan the follow-up investigation. We must find Miyamoto Musashi as soon as possible and completely destroy the Black Blade Group’s smuggling network.”

"Understood! Inspector Ye! Rest assured, I will handle everything properly and there will be no mistakes!" Captain Li replied immediately, his tone firm. "Also, Inspector Ye, your arm is injured. Please treat it as soon as possible, get some rest, and don't push yourself. We'll take care of the follow-up work, so don't worry!"

"I understand," Ye Haoxuan smiled, his tone softening. "Thank you for your hard work, Captain Li. Call me immediately if anything comes up."

"Understood, Inspector Ye!"

After hanging up the phone, Ye Haoxuan leaned against the wall again, slowly closed his eyes, and rested for a moment.

The morning sunlight streamed through the cracks in the internet cafe window, falling on his pale face and dispelling a trace of the chill. The pain in his arm was still intense, but his gaze grew even more resolute.

The fleeing assassin has been captured, the encrypted phone and USB drive have been sent for decryption, the contact list has been found, and there have been new breakthroughs in Miyamoto Musashi's photo and related clues. Although the battle is not over yet, and Miyamoto Musashi is still on the run, he is filled with confidence.

He knew that as long as they worked together and followed these clues step by step, they would definitely find Miyamoto Musashi, completely destroy the Black Blade Group's smuggling network, bring all the remnants of the Black Blade Group to justice, seek justice for the injured and killed police officers and those harmed by the Black Blade Group, and restore peace to Hong Kong.

After resting for a while, Ye Haoxuan felt that his strength had returned somewhat.

He slowly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice to a police officer beside him, "Help me up. Let's go back to the police station and meet up with Sandy to see if there are any new developments in the interrogation and technical cracking."

"Yes, Inspector Ye!" The officer immediately stepped forward, carefully helped Ye Haoxuan, and supported him as they walked step by step out of the internet cafe.

The sun was shining brightly, bathing the streets and dispelling the morning mist and chill.

Supported by police officers, Ye Haoxuan walked step by step toward the police van. Although he was weak and in pain from his wounds, his back remained upright and resolute.

A new investigation is about to begin, and he will continue to lead his officers forward to engage in a final showdown with the Black Blade Group.
