In fact, Deng Fan had never given up searching for Wang Xinyu. Although he had not found Wang Xinyu, his intuition told him that Wang Xinyu had not died.

Intuition was not that mysterious. It was often a conclusion that came from a comprehensive analysis of experience and wisdom. However, this conclusion was usually made very quickly. There was almost no process of thinking and it seemed to be untraceable, so it made people feel that it was more mysterious. Intuition, of course, is also about character, and there is a profound difference between the optimistic and the pessimistic. It was clear that Deng Fan was a person who was biased towards optimism. Although he was not a typical optimist, as long as there was a sliver of hope, he would definitely not give up hope.

Ever since Wang Xinyu left, Deng Fan left his Dragon Gate and returned to Europe. During this period of time, he had been to many places and carried out missions of various sizes. He had experienced many hardships, and two years passed in the blink of an eye.

Coming to the Wen Du two years later, Deng Fan felt a faint sadness.

Two years ago, when he came to this land, he was filled with longing. Now, however, he was filled with melancholy. It was as if everything he saw was already different. Everything he saw was now vast and endless.

In fact, there wasn't much of a change in the Wen Du, there were only the people's hearts. If their minds changed, they would be like strangers, even when they were facing people they spent their days with.

Wen Du, Night, Coffee Shop.

The coffee shop was still the same, the people were still the same, only they were two years older.

"Unknowingly, two years have passed." Deng Fan sighed as he looked at Xiao Li who was sitting opposite to him with a complicated expression.

Xiao Li also sighed, and said meaningfully: "That's right! Two years has passed too quickly, and I've gotten older and uglier. "

"But you got promoted too, didn't you?" Deng Fan said.

"Eh, how did you know?" Xiao Li's eyes were wide open as he looked at Deng Fan in surprise, "I don't think I've told you before?"

"With your talent, there's no reason for you to stay put!" Deng Fan said, "Three days apart is a whole new level of respect, what's more after two years?"

"You're right, I did get promoted." Xiao Li said honestly, "I am now the deputy commander of the National Security Agency and an adviser to the Interpol, so I'm asking you, are you afraid?"

"Congratulations!" Deng Fan smiled and cupped his hands to congratulate Xiao Li, and then said: "Since you have been promoted, you should invite me to celebrate, why are you still staying in this kind of small coffee shop to drink cheap coffee?"

"What would happen to you?" Xiao Li asked.

"Of course I'm going to treat you to a meal at the best hotel, then sing 'K'. Sauna!" Deng Fan said straightforwardly.

Xiao Li smiled awkwardly, and said: "You know me, you know that I'm not such a reckless person. I sing worse than I cry, and I don't like to go to those fireworks. "

"That's true. If there is anything in this world that cannot be changed, then it must be human nature." Deng Fan said.

"Your personality hasn't changed at all." Xiao Li said.

"I know. I can't change it, and I don't want to change it. I feel good about myself now." Deng Fan said.

"Are you still planning to live a happy life and not want to marry and have children?" Xiao Li asked seriously.

"That depends on who gets married and has children." Deng Fan said, "If it's an ordinary woman, I would rather never marry her."

"What if it's Miss Wang?" Xiao Li asked.

Hearing this, Deng Fan's expression suddenly froze as he stared blankly at Xiao Li. After a while, he scratched his head and laughed, and replied with an irrelevant answer: "Speaking of which, I'm ashamed, I don't even know where she is now!"

"Do you want to ask me about her?"

"You certainly don't know, but you might know something about her." Deng Fan said.

"Oh? What do you want to ask? " Xiao Li looked at Deng Fan curiously.

"Have you heard of the Mask Alliance?" Deng Fan went closer to Xiao Li and asked.

"Mask Alliance? Are you talking about the Alliance of False Assassins? "

"It should mean the same thing!" Deng Fan said, "They all wear masks when killing people, and most of them are all white masks. Furthermore, they do not like to use guns when killing people, and they prefer to use cold weapons. "

"I've heard of this assassination organization before, but I don't know much about them." Xiao Li said, "Perhaps I do not know as much as you do."

Hearing that, Deng Fan felt disappointed, retracted his body and said: "What do you know? Tell me about it. "

"You just told me what I know." Xiao Li said with a serious face.

"Nothing more?" Deng Fan was stunned.

"No more." Xiao Li shook his head seriously.

"Are you kidding me? Your National Security Bureau won't investigate such a large assassination organization?" Deng Fan almost slammed the table and jumped up.

"I'm not sure about the size of this organization. I only know that they rarely commit crimes in the Mainland and that most of them are overseas. This is not within my jurisdiction anymore." Xiao Li said.

"So that's how it is." Deng Fan rested his chin on his hand and thought, "Then wasn't my visit to Wen Du in vain?"

"I thought you wanted to see my old friend. Who told you not to ask me on the phone first?" Xiao Li said.

"Ai, you might not know this, but a lot of things have happened recently and I've lost my memory once …"

"There's actually such a thing?" Xiao Li did not wait for Deng Fan to finish speaking before asking, "No wonder you haven't contacted me for so long, what's going on?"

Thus, Deng Fan told Xiao Li the details of his amnesia to him.

"I have to say that you really do have a lot of luck with women. No matter where you go, there will be no one to accompany you. You even took in a beauty as a wife when you were in trouble." Xiao Li sighed with emotion after hearing Deng Fan's explanation.

"Don't say that. My heart hurts again when you say it." Deng Fan could not help but rub his chest, his expression extremely ugly.

"You are in the wrong this time. If I were that girl, I would definitely kill you." Xiao Li said.

"Say it again, I'm going to fall out with you!" Deng Fan glared at Xiao Li angrily.

"Fine, fine, fine. If you don't want to say it, don't want to say it!" Xiao Li did not want to provoke Deng Fan anymore, so he changed the topic, "What do you plan to do?"

"Since I'm here, I might as well take care of it." Deng Fan said, "Since you are here at the Wen Du, let's stay for a while, and pay a visit to the old people as well."

"An old girlfriend, right?" Xiao Li looked at Deng Fan with a smile that was not a smile.

"You know?"

"I know Brother Deng! Me too!" Xiao Li laughed, "Tell me, what kind of friends are there?"

"Not much, just two." Deng Fan extended two fingers, "One is the police chief's daughter, Di Lili, while the other is the bar's owner, Lin Sang'er."

When Deng Fan saw his first old girlfriend, it was already the second night. He personally paid a visit and was warmly invited by Di Lili.

After greeting each other, Di Lili poured a cup of fruit juice and passed it to Deng Fan.

Deng Fan reached out and took it but didn't drink it. He looked around, then shifted his gaze onto Di Lili and asked: "Looks like your family hasn't had any male protagonists for the past two years!"

"How do you know?" Di Lili asked.

"You can tell at a glance that this place is the same as two years ago, completely devoid of men's goods." Deng Fan said.

Di Lili laughed in embarrassment, then walked over to Deng Fan's side and sat him down, then said in all seriousness: "Let's not talk about this, tell me your purpose in coming to find me. I know it must be more than reminiscence. "

"Indeed, I also want to inquire about some things." After Deng Fan finished speaking, he took a sip of the fruit juice and placed the cup on the glass table in front of him.

"Mask Assassin's Alliance?" Di Lili said with a face full of shock, "This name sounds very domineering, but this is the first time I've ever heard it."

When Deng Fan heard this, he immediately lowered his head in disappointment. After a while, he raised his head again and said, "Since you don't know, then forget it."

"Why do you want to know about this organization?" Di Lili asked curiously.

"I have my reasons for investigating." Deng Fan continued to ask, "Have you ever seen a case where the murderer left behind a mask?"

"I haven't, but if you want to know, I can check for you. It'll take a while." Di Lili said.

Hearing that, Deng Fan thought back to what Xiao Li had said to him, and how he knew that the possibility of finding it was very slim, and even if he managed to find any clues, they wouldn't be of much value, so he shook his head and said: "No need to trouble yourself, I will think of another way!"

"Although I don't know what fake Assassin's Alliance you're talking about, the recent few cases of people disappearing in Wen Du have caused me to become extremely anxious." After Di Lili finished speaking, she could not help but rub her forehead with her hands, as she had an uncomfortable expression on her face.

"What's so special about the missing persons case?" Deng Fan asked curiously, "Or is it that all of these cases are related?"

"There is no evidence of a link." Di Lili said, "However, one of the disappearances was extremely bizarre."

"How?" Deng Fan liked mysterious things the most, and also loved to meddle in other people's business. He was looking at Di Lili and waiting for her to continue with her story with interest.

"The missing person is a high school girl." Di Lili said, "Her name is Tang Xin, she is the daughter of a wealthy merchant. The day she disappeared, she went on an adventure in a ghost house in the suburbs with her two classmates, and then she disappeared in the ghost house and never came out again. "

"What about the other two students?" Deng Fan asked anxiously.

"Those two classmates were fine, it was them who reported the case." Di Lili said.

"In other words, out of the three students who went to explore the haunted house, only two came out. One of them went missing?"

"It's like this." Di Lili nodded solemnly.

"Aren't they working together?" Deng Fan asked.

"At first, they were moving together, but after Tang Xin and her comrades separated, they never appeared again." Di Lili said.

Deng Fan's eyes shone with excitement, as though he had found a treasure trove. He scratched his chin and pondered, "Could it be that she was eaten by the ghost house?"

"What?" The house eats people? " Di Lili revealed a surprised look, "Don't scare me, I don't have much guts."

"Hey, why are you so timid? Why are you still a police officer? And it's even the captain of the criminal police! " Deng Fan revealed a look of disdain, and then asked with a serious tone: "Have you carefully searched through the ghost house?"

"That's only natural. I'm only three feet away from digging." Di Lili said with absolute certainty.

"This is an interesting case." Deng Fan said, "If it wasn't for the important matter that I have with me, I would definitely have helped you investigate."
