Two supernatural events occurred in New Yan City, and Feng Qian was a witness to both. In fact, he personally led the team to handle the second supernatural event.

Although he didn't gain anything from this operation, he continued to follow up on the case's progress.

"Captain, according to our investigation of that third-party debt collection company, the person who mutated and went berserk that day, indiscriminately attacking those around him, was the company's boss Luo Dian."

"Luo Dian has a criminal record for multiple murders. He beat a classmate to death when he was a minor. At the time, he went berserk at the company. In addition to the twenty-two people Luo Dian killed on the spot, there were nine other people who were not present. They were all relatively unimportant members of the company. They ran away after hearing the screams from upstairs, and thus they were lucky to escape with their lives."

A refined-looking subordinate, holding documents, reported the follow-up investigation results to Feng Qian and asked softly, "Captain Feng, should we conduct a follow-up investigation on these nine people who fled the crime scene?"

Feng Qian nodded. He was also clueless at the moment. In fact, the entire Investigation Bureau was clueless about "extraordinary" phenomena and did not know which research direction to take.

Therefore, Feng Qian was unwilling to let go of any possible clues and only wanted to make a contribution as soon as possible. Perhaps he could learn from those nine people why Luo Dian had mutated and whether there had been any abnormal situations before.

Despite the slim chances, he was determined to try.

"Let's go investigate them. They'd better be able to provide something useful, so I don't waste my time."

"I was terrified! It's fucking haunted!"

Lao Luo huddled in his bed at home, trembling uncontrollably, his face deathly pale.

Even though he was covered with a quilt, he still felt a chill down his spine.

Yesterday, while he was on duty at the company's front desk, he saw a strange young man barge into the company. After that, as if possessed, he let the man in without thinking, and then went home without thinking either.

When he came to his senses, he was terrified, thinking he had encountered a ghost. He was about to pray to the gods and burn incense to ward off bad luck, but before he could do anything, he received news that the company's office building had collapsed.

The official explanation is that a conflict arose among company employees, which escalated into a physical altercation, resulting in the accidental explosion of a gas cylinder.

Lao Luo didn't believe a word of that explanation. He knew better than anyone what kind of company they were and what kind of protection they had.

After all, he and the boss Luo Dian, were distant relatives. He knew very well that there would be no infighting among the company's employees, because no one would dare to cause trouble under Luo Dian's nose!

That's why Lao Luo was so afraid.

He had just encountered a ghost in the morning, and then his office building exploded in the afternoon. What kind of coincidence is that?

There might be some kind of metaphysical connection between the two!

The more Lao Luo imagined it, the more frightened he became. Under normal circumstances, he shouldn't be so timid, but he didn't know why. Ever since he encountered the ghost, he seemed to have been scared out of his wits and couldn't stand the slightest noise.

At this moment, he huddled under the covers, muttering incantations, praying to all the gods and Buddhas from both the East and the West, both domestic and foreign, asking for their protection.

"Knock knock--"

There was a knock on the door.

Startled, Lao Luo didn't wait for the person knocking on the door to say anything before he broke down shouting, "Get away! Get away! Don't come near me! I didn't see anything!"

"Demons and monsters, get out! Get out!"

The noise he made was so loud that Feng Qian and the others standing outside the door were taken aback. It was just a knock; why such a big reaction? Was he overreacting?

Feng Qian and his team were immediately overjoyed. While investigating the other surviving employees of this third-party debt collection company, they hadn't obtained any useful leads. However, with Lao Luo, their behavior was tantamount to a "self-confession" before they even had a chance to question him.

There's definitely something fishy about Lao Luo's behavior!

He sounds to be in a bad mental state; he might not open the door willingly.

In that case, it's necessary to force our way in!

Feng Qian gave a wink to his subordinate, who immediately understood and took out his phone to dial.

They hadn't held out much hope for this investigation, but unexpectedly, they might actually uncover some clues—a truly serendipitous turn of events.

Unlocking the door isn't a difficult problem; any locksmith can do it. Meanwhile, others need to be positioned downstairs with a cushioning device in case the suspect, Lao Luo, gets agitated, loses his mind, and jumps off the building without thinking.

Soon, everything was ready.

The door to Lao Luo's room was opened, and a group of heavily armed men rushed into the room, quickly located Lao Luo, and took him into custody.

Because Lao Luo's mental state was really worrying, Feng Qian originally planned to take him back for interrogation, but fearing that something might happen during the transport, he decided to ask him here!

Special times call for special measures. Unimportant procedures can be omitted, but who knows if anything related to the extraordinary might suddenly mutate at any moment?

Feng Qian straightened his clothes and slowly walked into Lao Luo's bedroom. At that moment, he felt a powerful aura emanating from him.

He used to be just an ordinary police captain, but luckily, he is now qualified to command these special forces. Although he didn't show it much on his face, he was indeed a little smug and complacent.

However, he never forgot his mission: to serve the people!

However, it can be said that personal fame and fortune and serving the people are not contradictory; they can coexist.

Serving the people while simultaneously getting promoted, making money, and rising through the ranks—isn't that great?

Lao Luo's bedroom was a mess, and out of fear, his phone was constantly playing various suggestive short videos.

Feng Qian turned off his phone and asked directly, "Why are you so scared? What are you afraid of? Did you see some secret yesterday?"

"Tell me everything you know, and the government will guarantee your safety. We can even send someone to protect you 24/7."

Faced with the people surrounding him, Lao Luo knew instantly what he had to do.

--Of course, we'll cooperate unconditionally!

Telling about your ghost encounter might bring you bad luck, such as the ghost's revenge. But if you don't tell, the people in front of you will immediately bring you bad luck!

The relative importance of each is obvious.

So Lao Luo stammered out his story, but as he recalled it, his memory suddenly blurred for a moment, and then the image of the ghost became exceptionally clear again:

Yesterday morning, a very young woman walked into our company...
