Shihoko is a syndicate operative with a tenure even longer than Huang's. She is a contractor assigned to infiltrate Alma's organization to gather intelligence for a future assassination. Years ago, she was ordered to kill Isozaki, Huang's partner when they were both detectives, after discovering his involvement in covering up the murder of a syndicate operative. She had grown very close to Huang to determine which of them was working for Alma's organization, leaving Huang with an emotional scar that lasted for many years. Her contract enables her to destroy a person's internal organs, at the cost of temporarily regaining her human sensitivity. The remuneration can induce a state of psychological shock due to the sudden emotional shift.
Spoiler
She later commits suicide by jumping in front of a truck, saving Huang from being targeted by the Syndicate.
