This system is outrageous.

"Is he so powerful that even the system doesn't know his real appearance?" Ye Fei was amazed at his ability, and looked at Eleven with disdain.

"During a certain period of time, the system recruited a group of people with certain abilities. He was the administrator recruited at that time." Changfeng explained to Ye Fei enthusiastically.

"So Shao Yu was also recruited at that time." Ye Fei still felt a little scared when he thought of him.

"Yes, Shao Yu is the most powerful one in that group. I didn't expect that he went there now." Ling Rui sighed softly.

The four of them did not indulge in memories, Changfeng quickly calmed down his emotions.

"At the moment, the male protagonist won't be able to recover for another six months. Let's vote on whether to jump to the next node."

The three of them turned to look at the man lying on the hospital bed; his face was still as pale as ever.

"Let's skip it. I don't think they can make any waves during this period." Ling Rui reached out and pressed OK on Changfeng's mobile phone, and the location of the next node appeared.

"We have to skip a year." Ye Fei said in surprise.

Changfeng kept moving his hands, and a door appeared through the door frame of the ward.

They opened the door and walked in at one go. They arrived one year later. The surrounding environment distorted and changed, and the voice of NPC Xiao Jiang came in.

"Congratulations to Officer Li Ran on being discharged from the hospital. You have to treat us today." Just as the words were spoken, a pair of feet in a wheelchair appeared from the door of the ward.

Although Ye Fei was mentally prepared, she still felt a little nervous.

"Okay, okay, okay, I've been lying down for a year and got this salary for free, you guys can eat as much as you want." Although Li Ran had a smile on his face, one could still feel the depression in his heart.

Seeing the four people in the corridor, the NPCs were visibly stunned.

"Teacher Chang, why are you here too?" Li Ran was sitting in a wheelchair, holding a large bouquet of lilies in his hand.

"I heard that you were discharged from the hospital, so I came to see you. Do you mind if we have a meal together today?" Changfeng walked over with a smile.

Li Ran smiled and waved his hands. "Don't mind, don't mind. Just eat as much as you can."

Across the crowd, Changfeng and Captain Guan looked at each other and walked aside. Eleven and Ye Fei joined the lively celebration. Xiao Jiang pushed Li Ran and the others left the hospital in a mighty procession.

The restaurant had already been carefully decorated, with big balloons and streamers, making it look like a party.

Captain Guan raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After looking around the audience, he spoke excitedly.

"Congratulations to our comrade Li Ran for being successfully discharged from the hospital and returning to our criminal investigation family."

Everyone cheered, and Captain Guan stopped everyone again.

"I have another piece of good news to tell you. Based on Comrade Li Ran's work ability, the higher-ups have decided to have him take over from the retiring Old Zhang as the deputy captain of our Criminal Investigation Brigade."

Everyone was stunned and the atmosphere became somewhat subtle.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy for him?" Captain Guan raised his voice and everyone immediately cheered.

But Li Ran in the crowd had a gleam in his eyes, and he understood that everyone was not convinced by this decision.

The bureau gave them a rare day off, and the NPCs took this opportunity to have fun.

Ye Fei had mixed feelings, but still joined them, using her cell phone to record this farcical celebration.

During this year, there seemed to be little progress in the case. The tomb-robbing gang behind the scenes has not been caught yet, and even the clues that were hard to find have been lost.

The team had other cases to deal with, and everyone seemed to have tacitly put this case on hold.

Li Ran had not recovered from his injury yet, so he had to do clerical work in the team. On the surface, he was a newly promoted deputy captain, but in the eyes of everyone, he was just a decoration who could only sit in a wheelchair and do clerical work.

Ye Fei looked at the updated plot and felt a little sad.

"It's all their fault. The hero has become so strong and beautiful now." Ye Fei was eating snacks and watching the plot in Chang Bo's office.

"It's exciting to see a beautiful, strong and tragic explosion. Just think of it as the male protagonist going through a tribulation. I don't think he should be such a fragile person." Eleven snatched Ye Fei's snacks and started eating them in big mouthfuls.

"Speaking of the plot this year, it seems that there is really no sign of the crows causing trouble. Could it be that they have not succeeded yet?"

Ling Rui had just finished reading the story and put down his phone.

"Among the documents we copied before, the most likely one is the vase." Changfeng found the picture in the document.

"The plot is that this vase was originally a pair, and the tomb robbers sold one abroad for some unknown reason."

"Maybe it's to sell the other one at a high price." Eleven enlarged the picture and looked at it carefully.

"Could it be that they only took out one the first time, and then went back to take out the second one. Everyone knows that a pair of things must be more valuable than just one. It is impossible for a tomb-robbing gang to sell one first and then not make a profit at a high price. What if the old customer is unwilling to buy the other one?" Ye Fei also came over to look at the picture of the vase with Eleven.

"But why do you say this vase is the most likely thing they are looking for? I see there are several other artifacts mentioned in the document."

"It's because of the pattern." Ling Rui came over and pointed to a place on the picture.

"This pattern is not found in any other pictures of cultural relics, and there is no record of this pattern in this small world. It also has nothing to do with the customs and culture at the time when the cultural relics were made."

"Hey, this pattern looks familiar to me." Eleven continued to enlarge the photo, but the image became blurry due to insufficient image quality.

"Where have you seen this pattern? I have no impression of it." Ye Fei looked at Eleven and then turned to look at Ling Rui.

"Maybe I've seen it in some small world, or it looks very similar to something."

"It is very similar to the pattern on the crows' clothes." Changfeng finally spoke.

"Remember the video Ye Fei secretly filmed earlier? There were patterns like this on their clothes."

After hearing this, Ye Fei immediately took out his cell phone and found a similar pattern on Jiang Wenlu's shoulder.

"This is the logo of the Crows. Do they have any brand awareness?" Ye Fei thought the idea was a bit ridiculous.

"It's not a logo, nor is it a brand awareness. It should be a mark for them to recognize each other." Ling Rui looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Perhaps a crow came to this small world by chance and left a mark. They followed that person's breath and came here in an attempt to break the barrier between the small worlds and achieve their goal of controlling the small worlds."

Ye Fei thought blankly for a while, then looked at Ling Rui in shock.

"You mean this bottle? It's fake. It's not an antique at all."

Ling Rui nodded silently.

"No wonder, selling one is enough. And they also have a counterfeiting and selling team to provide technical support." Ye Fei applauded excitedly.

"I didn't expect them to be so good at hiding."
