Gu Qirui thought for a moment, then nodded vigorously:

"I can do it! I will identify their crimes!"

"Okay!" Chu Qianjue nodded with a smile.

Ambulances arrived quickly and took all the injured people away, and the police then got involved.

The entire program was suspended because drugs were detected in the perpetrator's blood, so everyone on the show, from the contestants to the mentors and the crew, was put on blood tests.

Fortunately, due to the strong crackdown on drugs, very little of it flowed in.

These perpetrators only used the drugs themselves and did not allow them to harm others.

As soon as the incident came to light, major media outlets rushed to report on it, and the perpetrators were branded with shame.

The most heartbroken are the fans who once supported them. After seeing their idol's true colors, countless fans became enraged, unfollowed them, and turned against them.

Some extreme fans even broke into hospitals in the middle of the night, attempting to kill these people.

This farce lasted for a full two weeks, and in the end, all the perpetrators were sent to prison.

I thought this matter would end there, but unexpectedly, even greater harm occurred.

That day, Lu Qing was cultivating when he suddenly received a call from Wang Yanjun:

"The Heavenly Eye System has just detected the presence of evil energy. This time, the evil energy is much stronger than before. In short, the situation is very complicated. You should come and take a look!"

"Okay, I'll be right there!"

Lu Qing changed his clothes and rushed off to the Investigation Bureau.

Yu Hengzi quickly stopped her: "Qingqing, where are you going so early in the morning? Have you done your morning practice?"

Lu Qing: "Master, there's an urgent matter at the Investigation Bureau. I'll practice when I get back."

Yu Hengzi: "If you don't practice your morning exercises, you still need to eat breakfast!"

Sensing that something was off with Yu Hengzi, Lu Qing stopped and raised an eyebrow, asking:

"Master, it's been half a month already, you still haven't managed to appease your wife!"

Yu Hengzi, having his secret thoughts exposed, sighed helplessly:

"If I could appease her, would I need to drag you along to find her?"

"Qingqing, your master's wife listens to you now, can you help me persuade her?"

"Master, as long as you put your heart into it, your wife will definitely forgive you. Keep going, I really have to go now!"

After saying that, Lu Qing hurriedly got into the car and left.

Yu Hengzi sighed heavily, then put on a smile and went upstairs to wake Feng Yuan up.

Here, Lu Qing arrived at the Investigation Bureau and saw seven mannequins, each about the size of an adult, placed on the ground.

These mannequins are so lifelike that they would be mistaken for real people if you didn't look closely.

"Why are there so many mannequins? Where did they come from?" Lu Qing asked.

Wang Yanjun: "Take another closer look, is it really a mannequin?"

Lu Qing squatted down, reached out and touched it, and was surprised to feel its temperature.

"She has a body temperature!"

Lu Qing frowned and checked his breath again; he could also feel it.

"Body temperature, breathing, heartbeat! This is a real person!"

Wang Yanjun nodded: "That's right! It's a real person!"

Lu Qing looked closely at the mannequins and found that one of them looked quite familiar.

"This is... Zhao Xing!" Lu Qing exclaimed.

"Yes! He mysteriously disappeared from prison a few days ago, and when he reappeared, he was like this," Wang Yanjun sighed.

Lu Qing looked at the other mannequins, and they all looked familiar. It seemed like he had seen them all at the talent show that day.

“They’re all members of boy bands!” Lu Qing frowned.

“That’s right! These people have two things in common: first, they are all men; second, they are all idols,” Wang Yanjun said.

"Was it evil energy that turned them into what they are now?" Lu Qing asked, frowning.

Wang Yanjun: "To be precise, it is because some people were possessed by evil spirits, which aroused their desires and turned them into what they are now."

“Every inch of their skin is real, and they retain their breathing and heartbeat, but if you cut open their skin, you’ll find that they don’t bleed, just like a carefully crafted rubber toy.”

"We extracted DNA from these people and found that it came from many different women. In other words, the killer sexually assaulted these dummies to varying degrees, that's right!"

Lu Qing immediately thought of fanatical fans.

Where did you get these mannequins from?

Wang Yanjun: "We've been tracking the whereabouts of the evil spirits. A few days ago, our surveillance system tracked down a location, and when we rushed there, we found a bunch of idols who had been turned into mannequins."

"According to the investigation, there are more boy band members who have recently gone missing than these. I estimate that there are even more people who have been turned into mannequins, which is why I called you here to discuss countermeasures."

Lu Qing frowned, pondered for a moment, and then tried to turn the dummy back into a real person, but failed.

"This is so strange! There isn't a trace of any magic cast on their bodies, so I have no way to help them!"

"That's why I said the evil energy we encountered this time was much stronger than the previous ones!" Wang Yanjun said in a deep voice.

Lu Qing took out a tortoise shell and copper coins and cast a divination on the spot. The copper coins stood between the gates of life and death, and the divination had no solution.

"Looks like this is a really big problem!"

After a moment's thought, Lu Qing quickly came up with a direction for the investigation:

"Brother, first use ordinary investigative methods to identify the suspect. Right now, the evil spirit is hiding in the shadows. We can't possibly turn the entire capital upside down; that would be too much of a commotion."

"The focus of our investigation is on the fans of these boy band members. Only die-hard fans could do something like that to a mannequin."

Wang Yanjun nodded in agreement: "Okay! I'll take some people to investigate right away!"

After leaving the Investigation Bureau, Lu Qing went straight to Chu Qianjue, hoping to find some useful clues from him.

After Chu Qianjue got together with Zhao Xuanxuan, he stopped living at home.

Lu Qing suddenly showed up at the door, but Chu Qianjue was not home. Only Zhao Xuanxuan, her agent, and her assistant were at home.

"Qingqing, is there something you need from Brother Jue?" Zhao Xuanxuan asked.

Lu Qing: "I want to ask him about some things related to boy groups."

Zhao Xuanxuan raised an eyebrow and teased:

"When did you start following celebrities? Your fiancé is just as good-looking as any boy band idol! What, are you tired of seeing him?"

"What? Sister Xuanxuan, I'm talking about serious matters!" Lu Qing said with a serious expression.

Seeing this, Zhao Xuanxuan also became serious:

"If you need anything, you can ask me. Although I'm not as famous as your brother, I still know a bit about what's going on in the industry!"

Lu Qing thought for a moment, then asked her anyway:

Do you know about the talent show that had that scandal a while ago?

Zhao Xuanxuan: "I know! How could I not know about something this big!"

Lu Qing: "Do you know what happened to those boy band members afterward?"

Zhao Xuanxuan thought for a moment: "I think I heard your brother mention it once. Although that incident had a bad impact, it gained popularity, and the production team invested all their money, so they planned to continue making it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanxuan's agent chimed in:

"Speaking of this, Miss Lu, you should ask me. There are some artists I manage among them!"

"But recently he hasn't been replying to messages much. I heard that his phone was confiscated during practice."
