Chapter 20

Under Chen Jing’s order, the entire investigation team immediately took action.

Qin Ran was stunned. He had been vigilantly looking at the three armed men, and his eyes revealed a deep look of scorn. With his experience, he naturally saw that these three heavily armed warriors weren’t the same as those desperadoes he saw outside the city. They were also different from the Security Office and patrol team that he usually dealt with in the satellite city.

He signaled with his eyes to tell his men not to approach and wait patiently in place.

When Lu Xin asked about where he killed Cui Wang and dumped his body, he immediately answered.

“Immediately head over to investigate and bring along the relevant person, Qin Ran, in case he’s hiding the truth.”

Han Bing’s voice was heard through the earpiece.

Lu Xin immediately said to the armed men, “Get in the car.”

Then, he nodded to Qin Ran. “You come along too.”

Several armed men immediately acted. One went over to start the car and the other two positioned themselves behind Qin Ran.

Qin Ran took a look at their submachine guns before turning to look at Lu Xin. He suddenly gritted his teeth. He didn’t know what this wilderness-born man was thinking, but he didn’t say a word and directly followed them into the jeep.

When they drove to the front yard, the manager went forward and shouted, “Big brother...”

“Wait!”

Qin Ran shouted at them through the windows.

The armed men in the car were oblivious to Qin Ran’s reaction as well as the Square Transportation Company. Or rather, they simply didn’t care.

Lu Xin also didn’t comment as he didn’t hear any cues from the earpiece.

He could feel that after the investigation team members reported to him, the aura of both sides had changed.

Although there were only three members in the investigation team, there were more than ten times the number of people in Qin Ran’s company. However, from the fierce behavior of the three armed personnel, who had obviously been trained intensely and had loaded guns, if a conflict really happened, even if Qin Ran’s people came over, the gap between the two sides was still too obvious.

Qin Ran must have discovered this gap and so became obedient.

However, Lu Xin felt that the three people from the investigation team seemed a little scared of him...

Chen Jing continued to give Lu Xin a lecture through the earpiece. “Psyche power is originally invisible. Or rather, it’s difficult for an ordinary person’s psyche power to affect the instrument to achieve the supposed effect. However, some contaminated sources undergo mutation, or mutants’ psyche power goes beyond a certain threshold. Coupled with some new materials from the Lunar Eclipse Institute, the detection was made possible.

“However, these instruments are still in the stage of research and experimentation. They can sense abnormalities in psyche power, but the accuracy is not good enough.”

“And the helmet is a form of protection from abnormal psyche corruption. The document I gave you before mentioned that glass. It’s the best material we have found so far to isolate the spread of psyche plague.”

“...”

Lu Xin only said “hmm” in a low voice.

He didn’t dare to say that, in fact, for those documents, he focused on the part about the salary and subsidies.

The two locations where Qin Ran said he killed Cui Wang and dumped his body, as well as the surroundings, were quickly tested. The investigation team even found some tissue suspected to be Cui Wang’s remaining bones, but no abnormal psyche power was detected.

“Are you sure it’s these two locations?”

Lu Xin turned to look at Qin Ran and confirmed with him.

Qin Ran’s face was extremely gloomy, and fear was hidden within. “This has to do with my life, do you think I would lie?”

Lu Xin felt that he wasn’t hiding anything. Moreover, he didn’t suspect the testing done by the investigation team. That was because when he looked at the two areas, there was nothing abnormal. It wasn’t like the case in the cafe and when he first met Qin Ran, where he could evidently see mutated flesh and some abnormal creatures around.

That was the importance of the Information Analysis Team.

Lu Xin asked immediately, “What should we do?”

“If the area of death and dumpling of the body have no problems, we must consider other factors.”

Corporal Han Bing said calmly through the channel, “First, how did those people get corrupted?

“Every source has its corruption circumference. People would only get corrupted if they enter the region.

“Based on the current analysis, the people were unrelated and did not know each other. However, they all became part of the ‘avengers’ team. This shows that they have crossed paths when they were alive...

“The area they crossed paths is highly likely the source of the corruption case.

“It’s recommended to gather manpower and investigate the paths these ‘avengers’ took before they died!”
