As Lao Luo described it, Feng Qian's expression grew increasingly strange, until finally his face was filled with shock.

The "ghost" that Lao Luo mentioned as a "ghost encounter" actually looks a lot like Bai Jingjing!

Thinking of this, Feng Qian stared sharply at Lao Luo, his voice icy. "Are you sure you haven't misremembered?"

Lao Luo frowned, thought it through carefully, and then nodded very seriously. "I'm absolutely sure I'm not mistaken!"

Feng Qian, in a deep voice, instructed his subordinates to find two forensic artists and have them draw a portrait based on Lao Luo's description.

Because Lao Luo's description was so accurate, the portrait artists drew at an extremely fast pace, and the two artists each drew a portrait in a short time.

Two almost identical female faces came into Feng Qian's view.

He knew that face all too well.

"How could this be?!" Feng Qian's face changed unpredictably. He dared not open his eyes, hoping that what he was seeing was just an illusion.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing, or more accurately, he didn't want to believe it.

Previously, the Investigation Bureau's assessment of Bai Jingjing leaned towards the following: although her whereabouts were a mystery and there were some inexplicable aspects about her, she could still be considered a person of the good and lawful camp.

However, what Lao Luo has now confessed may overturn the Investigation Bureau's assessment of Bai Jingjing.

This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue.

Experts have estimated Bai Jingjing's strength, and most believe that she possesses the power to easily destroy a city.

"Before Luo Dian mutated and went mad, Bai Jingjing came to his door." If this is true, it can only mean that Bai Jingjing was likely behind Luo Dian's mutation and madness.

The implications of this are too profound to contemplate!

After Lao Luo revealed all the information he knew, Feng Qian closed his eyes, sighed, and instructed his subordinates, "Immediately transfer Mr. Luo back to the Investigation Bureau and have him personally meet with the director to repeat what he just told him."

Although the information Lao Luo provided was quite revolutionary, it was only his side of the story, and it's difficult to judge whether it was true and credible.

Feng Qian decided to pass this hot potato to his superior to handle.

Lao Luo was taken to the police car. Although there were many people around him, all of whom were armed, he was still trembling all over, and fear emanated from within him.

He couldn't control his fear, which had spread to every part of his body and was growing stronger.

Upon arriving at the Investigation Bureau, the bureau immediately arranged for Lao Luo to have a psychologist.

After seeing Lao Luo off, Feng Qian immediately began to integrate all the known clues and tried to deduce in his mind what kind of secret was hidden behind Luo Dian's madness.

"What exactly is Bai Jingjing trying to do? Is she really the mastermind behind this supernatural event? What is her purpose?"

Feng Qian felt increasingly confused, his mind a complete mess, as if it had turned to mush, and he couldn't figure it out no matter what he did.

While Lao Luo was being taken back to the Investigation Bureau, a man was observing Lao Luo's movements with high-powered binoculars from the rooftop of a tall building several streets away.

This person has an average appearance, an oval face, slightly thick lips, inner corners of the eyes, small and narrow eyes that slant upwards. At first glance, he looks like an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, he is even a bit ugly.

His Liu Maozhi. On the surface, he is just an ordinary office worker in a state-owned enterprise, but in reality, he is a spy.

He was recruited for money and has already passed on intelligence abroad multiple times.

Once you've done something like this, it's like you've been caught red-handed, and there's no going back. You can only go down this path to the bitter end.

Recently, many strange things have happened in China, especially the two tragedies that occurred in New Yan City: a serial killer murdered twelve people in an old residential area, and a gas explosion occurred in an office building due to a conflict between employees.

The foreign forces that made contact with Liu Maozhi seemed very interested in these matters, and since Liu Maozhi's workplace was also in New Yan City, they hoped he could provide some useful intelligence.

What else can Liu Maozhi do?

Trying to fish in troubled waters~

Neither the "psychotic serial killer" nor the "office building explosion" had anything to do with Liu Maozhi's work. Given his status, what could he possibly know? The people who contacted him were asking him for information, which was a complete waste of time!

But in order to get more money, he wouldn't admit that he knew nothing.

He decided to go through the motions, first conducting a perfunctory investigation, and then piecing together a fabricated "intelligence" report based on rumors circulating online.

Even with such a seemingly impressive intelligence report, there's still a chance to get some benefits.

He's done this before.

That's his attitude anyway; he'll just give up completely. If the other party gets impatient and cuts off contact with him unilaterally, that would be ideal. But if the other party can't bear to part with him as a pawn and continues to pay for the false information he provides, he'd be quite happy to accept that.

Through the binoculars, Liu Maozhi observed that Lao Luo had been taken away, and this Lao Luo happened to be an employee of the office building where the explosion had occurred yesterday.

"How should I make this up?" Liu Maozhi scratched his head. "It has to be related to the supernatural; that topic is all the rage right now..."

Supernatural Investigation Bureau.

Mu Xingrui sat in his office. Just now, he had personally interrogated Lao Luo and obtained information identifying Bai Jingjing as the mastermind behind everything.

He was frowning as he listened to Feng Qian's report and opinions on the matter.

Feng Qian said a lot, and finally stated his opinion. "Given Lao Luo's current mental state, his words may not be credible."

"It's better to be safe than sorry," Mu Xingrui tapped his finger lightly on the desk. "No matter what, we must prepare for the worst."

Feng Qian nodded solemnly. All the views and conclusions he had mentioned before could be considered nonsense; the leader's views were the only truth to him.

When asked for his opinion on a matter, he carefully considered his words and offered a few words of flattery.

If the leader does not agree with his views, he will immediately abandon his own views and support the leader's views.

These are the essential qualities of a qualified subordinate.

Just as Feng Qian was about to continue speaking, subtly complimenting Mu Xingrui, the phone on the director's desk suddenly rang.

Mu Xingrui immediately answered the phone, and his expression grew increasingly serious as he listened to the voice coming from the other end.

After the call was disconnected, Mu Xingrui's face turned extremely grim. "Something's happened. Online public opinion is on the verge of spiraling out of control. Someone filmed the crime in Luo Dian and posted it online..."

"Then delete it quickly," Feng Qian said matter-of-factly. "This kind of thing should be easy to handle, how could it cause public opinion to get out of control?"
