"Are you going back?" Ke Qing didn't hear Nan Yu's words on the other end of the phone, but she heard Lu Ning's reply.

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay, next time I'll trouble you to take me to investigate the other three locations where flesh and blood mutations occurred."

Ke Qing patted her chest, her smile brimming with energy, and said, "Of course, no problem! It's a pity you have to go back now. One of the locations of the flesh mutation isn't far from my house. Maybe I can even invite you to my house for lunch; my mom's cooking is delicious!"

Lu Ning paused in her steps as she walked towards the stairs.

He turned to look at Ke Qing and noticed that the white mist inside Ke Qing's body was fluctuating slightly.

She had a smile on her face and looked perfectly normal.

Lu Ning asked calmly, "Is your mother a good cook?"

Just then, the white mist inside Ke Qing's body changed from subtle fluctuations to violent surges.

Ke Qing paused for a moment, then said, "My mother? My mother could cook! It's a pity she's passed away. Huh? How do you know my mother could cook?"

Lu Ning looked at Ke Qing's expression: "What you just said."

Ke Qing paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Don't joke around, when did I say that?"

Lu Ning gave Ke Qing a deep look and found that the white mist inside her body had calmed down.

Lu Ning said, "Let's continue to the other locations of flesh and blood mutation."

Ke Qing was taken aback and asked with some confusion, "Weren't you just about to leave?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "It's nothing important. I'm not the captain of the action team. We can manage without me."

After saying that, he thought for a moment, then took out his phone and called Nan Yu.

The call was answered quickly, and Nan Yu asked with some confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lu Ning calmly said, "I might be going back later; I still need to continue my investigation."

Nan Yu was taken aback for a moment, but quickly understood the implication in Lu Ning's words.

He said, "No problem, you go ahead with your work, the rest of us can go investigate this mission."

"Um."

Lu Ning nodded and hung up the phone.

He then looked at Ke Qing: "Let's go."

Ke Qing didn't say much: "Then let's go downstairs."

The two went downstairs and returned to the SUV.

Ke Qing looked at Lu Ning and asked, "Which crime scene are we going to next?"

Lu Ning asked, "Which of these three crime scenes do you know best?"

Ke Qing immediately said, "Of course it's the one on Hound Street, it's closer to my house."

Lu Ning nodded: "Then let's go to the crime scene first."

"Okay, turn around, then turn right."

Lu Ning did as instructed, then asked, "Do you know much about the case on Hound Street?"

Ke Qing nodded: "I handled that case, and I even wrote the case file. Well, it happened during the day, and there were quite a few witnesses. An ordinary person suddenly became abnormal in the street, resulting in eight deaths and twenty injuries. However, the subsequent investigation revealed that the ordinary person was a teacher who always had normal mental health checkups. No one expected him to suddenly become ill."

Lu Ning raised an eyebrow: "The routine checks for mental pollution are always normal? How long has it been since his last checkup?"

"Twelve days."

"The mental pollution tests were all normal, but twelve days later the flesh and blood became deformed? This shouldn't be a normal pathological change, right?"

Ke Qing nodded slightly and said, "That's what I thought at the time, so I investigated the patient's condition but didn't find anything unusual."

Have all the witnesses been questioned?

"Of course I asked! Do you think I'm a newbie?" Ke Qing looked at Lu Ning speechlessly: "All the witnesses said that the guy's disease started without warning. He was just walking on the road when he suddenly stopped, and then his flesh and blood started to deform."

Lu Ning nodded slightly and said no more.

More than ten minutes later, Lu Ning arrived at the location of the lesion, guided by Ke Qing.

This street is similar to the previous one, also bustling with people.

Lu Ning parked the car on the side of the road. After the two got out, Ke Qing pointed to a manhole cover not far away and said, "According to witnesses, the person fell ill in this area. More than half a year has passed since that case. The damaged streets have all been repaired, and you can't see anything anymore."

Lu Ning glanced around and nodded slightly: "There really isn't anything left."

"Right? Shall we go to the next area?" Ke Qing looked at Lu Ning and asked.

Lu Ning said, "By the way, you said this place isn't far from your house? Can I come to your house and take a look?"

Ke Qing was taken aback, looking at Lu Ning with some wariness: "...What do you want to do at my house?"

Lu Ning looked calmly at Ke Qing and said, "It's just a routine inspection as part of the investigation team's duties. There's nothing special about it. You can think of it as me wanting to come over for a drink of water."

Ke Qing thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay then. My home is in a nearby neighborhood, I can walk there."

Ke Qing led Lu Ning across the road, and after walking for a short while, they arrived at a residential area.

Led by Ke Qing, Lu Ning then entered an apartment building and went up to the fourth floor.

He followed behind Ke Qing, watching her unlock the door, and asked, "Aren't your parents home?"

Ke Qing didn't turn around: "Yes, I already said that."

She opened the door: "Come in."

Lu Ning calmly followed and entered Ke Qing's room.

Ke Qing's house is not big. The living room is right after the entrance. The furniture is a bit old, but it is very clean.

One side of the living room is a small kitchen.
