In the end, Ke Qing refused to let Lu Ning check her personal belongings, so Lu Ning had no choice but to give up.

Otherwise, if Ke Qing is unwilling to contact him again, then his trail will be cut off.

After checking Ke Qing's room, Lu Ning found nothing unusual.

Ke Qing's face was still slightly flushed, and she asked with a stern expression, "Is the examination finished?"

Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."

"Let's go! To the other two crime scenes!"

Lu Ning followed Ke Qing away and went to two other locations where flesh and blood had mutated.

The two cases of flesh and blood deformity are now more than a month old.

Moreover, according to normal procedures, after the case is handled by the Bureau of Mystery, the crime scene will definitely need to be restored.

Therefore, Lu Ning did not discover anything.

After inspecting the four locations, it was already afternoon.

Lu Ning thanked Ke Qing, saying, "Thank you for your help today."

Ke Qing's complexion was much better than before, especially since Lu Ning treated her to a big meal at noon.

Since she was being paid for, Ke Qing didn't say much.

She nodded and smiled, "No need to be so polite. Since the captain assigned me to come, it's my responsibility. Where else do we need to go?"

That's all for today, I'm going back now.

"good."

"If I come to see you tomorrow, I will send you a message in advance."

Ke Qing's expression froze, and her usually energetic smile became a little awkward: "Okay."

Lu Ning then drove Ke Qing back to the First Division before returning to his hotel.

Back at the hotel, Lu Ning went into the meeting room and found no one there.

Lu Ning guessed that they must have gone to deal with the flesh and blood mutation issue that Li Fu had mentioned earlier.

During this year, four cases of flesh deformity occurred in the first district under the jurisdiction of the first division.

Headquarters is now saying they've encountered a troublesome case of flesh deformity.

Clearly, there have been quite a few cases of flesh-and-blood mutations in the base city over the past year.

While Lu Ning was having dinner, Nan Yu and the others returned to the meeting room.

Seeing Lu Ning happily eating braised pork, Xu Hui's eyes lit up with envy.

"Huh?! Captain Lu, how come you're having so much fun? You've already started eating?"

"Yeah, we've been running around all day, we're exhausted," Dennis complained as he leaned back on the sofa.

Lu Ning glanced at the group and said calmly, "I didn't know when you guys would be back, so I just ordered takeout for myself."

Nan Yu laughed and said, "It's alright, we can order now. Xu Hui, why don't you order?"

Xu Hui nodded and took out his phone.

Nan Yu sat down next to Lu Ning, his expression serious, and asked, "Did you discover something just now? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Lu Ning nodded and said calmly, "Yes, Ke Qing's memories seem to be somewhat confused."

"Memory confusion?" The resting group was taken aback and looked at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning recounted what had happened to the others.

This made everyone frown.

Eileen said thoughtfully, "She's even forgotten how her parents died? Sometimes she even thinks her mother isn't dead yet? This Keqing is really strange."

Song Sinian said, "Eileen is right!"

Lin Menglan then spoke up, "Ke Qing's memory is confused, which seems to be similar to the memory anomalies of other people in the base city? They all seem to have forgotten that Saint Qinglan came here."

Nan Yu nodded slightly, then said, "That's right. Perhaps their pollution is the same, but Ke Qing's pollution isn't as severe? Or perhaps she has some kind of resistance to pollution?"

"Just like Captain Lu saw before, she was the only one who was contaminated later."

"Yes. Perhaps she has a natural resistance to contamination. If so, I wonder if she can return to her original state? If she can, perhaps we can get information about this anomaly from her!"

The crowd began to discuss it animatedly, their eyes growing increasingly brighter.

If this can be achieved, then the investigation will have made great progress.

Just then, Shirley suddenly thought of something and looked at Lu Ning, saying, "By the way, Captain Lu, can't you absorb the source of pollution? Is there any way to absorb Ke Qing's source of pollution?"

The others' eyes lit up as they looked at Lu Ning.

Lu Ning shook his head slightly: "The pollutants inside their bodies are not normal sources of pollution. The white mist inside their bodies should be connected with the white mist outside, which I cannot absorb."

This silenced everyone.

Lu Ning then looked at the group and asked, "How are you all?"

Dennis rolled his eyes and said, "Don't even mention it. That old bastard Li Fu said that flesh mutations have been occurring frequently lately. Their people have been searching for a long time but haven't found the source, and people still experience flesh mutations from time to time. He thought that since we're from the exploration team and are more skilled, he wanted us to help him."

"When I went to see Ke Qing today, I discovered that there were a total of 22 cases in the first district over the past year, including four cases of flesh and blood deformity."

Nan Yu raised an eyebrow: "That's quite a high percentage. No wonder Li Fu asked us for help. It seems the situation in other districts is probably not much different."

Xu Hui complained, "We haven't even finished investigating the anomalies in the base city, and time is already so tight. Now there's another problem. Do they think we're animals?"

Afaf said, "Don't say that. After all, this involves the safety of the base city. If flesh mutations occur frequently, the number of victims will definitely increase. We are from the Mist Bureau, the guardians of humanity. Of course, we will help with this kind of thing."

Song Sinian, standing nearby, muttered, "If we follow Captain Lu's lead, it's hard to say whether this base city can be saved..."

Nan Yu frowned and said, "This matter is not yet settled. Since there is still a need to save this base city, we should do our duty!"

Seeing that Nan Yu was a little angry, Song Sinian laughed and said, "I was just joking."

Lu Ning asked, "So, what have you found out?"

"I went to the scene of a crime today where a bloody mutation had just occurred, and I found a few clues. I plan to go and take a look tomorrow."

Lu Ning nodded slightly, then said, "I'll go tomorrow too."

Upon hearing this, Dennis's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "That would be the best, Captain Lu. Since you can see mental pollution, your detection ability might be stronger than mine and Lao Cheng's!"

Cheng Yue nodded slightly.

Nan Yu smiled and said, "Then it's settled. Go and rest."

…………

The next morning.

Once Lu Ning and his group were ready, they planned to investigate the source of the flesh and blood deformity that Li Fu had mentioned.

Nan Yu said, "Lu Ning, you will lead the team to the South District. That's the abandoned industrial park. Eileen, Shirley, and Song Sinian, the three of you will follow Lu Ning."

The three nodded and agreed.
