The director is worthy of being the director. He considers the issue very comprehensively. The person who leaked the information may not be a fake person.
It is also possible that normal people and strange things are colluding.
It is indeed possible.
Before the goal is determined, any guess is possible.
In addition, the director is efficient and decisive in his work, without any dragging of feet.
Let's just say that investigating the informant was immediately put on the agenda, and it was given the highest priority. Now, immediately, the investigation began.
Of course, to do such a professional thing, you need the assistance of professional talents.
After a while, someone knocked on the door...
He was the person the director had called in to assist in the investigation.
There were two people in total, one male and one female, both of whom were backbones of the General Bureau's Investigation Section, specifically assisting Lin Mo.
Lin Mo glanced at the two men and nodded at the director.
It means there is nothing wrong with these two people.
The investigation began in this office, which is the safest and most confidential place.
The two new members, the male one is called Gong Shu, who saluted Lin Mo and others as soon as he came in; the female one is called Wang Zhen, who is actually a tech geek, wearing black-framed glasses and is taciturn, but she is one of the youngest doctors in the General Administration.
After sorting, a list was drawn up.
The above is a list of people who may have known about the General Administration’s action against the 4th Branch after Lin Mo’s report. Including commandos and members of the expert group, there are more than 50 people.
There are also senior leaders here, but not many, less than ten. This is the list excluding the director and Professor Xie.
And quite a few of them have already been identified by Lin Mo before.
But if we follow the director's meaning, even if it is proved through identification that it is not a fake person, the suspicion cannot be ruled out.
"The collusion between the living and fake people is a more serious matter."
After all, the mannequins have obvious markings, so Lin Mo can tell them apart. But if it were a normal person, he wouldn't be able to tell them apart.
Investigating living people is the job of Gong Shu and Wang Zhen. Lin Mo must first make sure that he actually meets all the people on the list, at least to rule out any possible fake people.
"Check them one by one. Thank you for your hard work, Xiaolin." The director patted Lin Mo on the shoulder.
Lin Mo said that since the leader trusted him so much, it wouldn't be hard and he would ensure to complete the task.
At this time, Lin Mo's cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that I didn't recognize the number. But after I answered the call, the voice sounded very familiar.
"Expert Lin, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm calling to thank you. This time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, my sister would be in danger. I will definitely treat you to a meal some other day." This was the call from the person in charge of the detention center.
The other party’s sister is Liang Bingbing, one of the survivors of the 4th Precinct incident.
"By the way, my sister said she has very important information to report to you." The other party added, guessing that the reason he called was because this was the key point.
Soon, a female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Expert Lin?" Lin Mo had also heard this female voice.
Lin Mo said it was me.
Liang Bingbing on the other end of the phone was very happy. She wanted to meet and thank him in person.
Lin Mo said no need, it was his duty, no need to be polite.
Liang Bingbing hesitated for a long time, and Lin Mo asked her if she had anything to say.
Liang Bingbing said yes.
After she was rescued, she was also asked to keep a statement, but she said that she was afraid that other departments and systems might also have those "weird" things, so she didn't say everything.
"Expert Lin, I only trust you." Liang Bingbing said in a firm tone.
Since the other party has some other clues, Lin Mo must meet him.
Now Liang Bingbing is paranoid and doesn't believe anyone.
He didn't dare to meet me in the headquarters, so he said he would meet me outside.
Lin Mo consulted the director and after getting his consent, he went out to meet Liang Bingbing.
Lin Mo met the other person in a roadside fast food restaurant in Qianlong City.
Liang Bingbing changed into casual clothes, put on a hat and sunglasses, and looked around as she walked, obviously looking very nervous.
She was followed by her brother.
Seeing Lin Mo, he quickly greeted him.
The three of them sat down, and Liang Bingbing's brother said, "I'll buy you something to drink."
Liang Bingbing shook her head.
Lin Mo said coffee without sugar.
Now only Lin Mo and Liang Bingbing were left.
Seeing that the other party was so nervous, Lin Mo said, "It's okay, don't be too nervous, just relax."
"I'm sorry, Expert Lin, I always feel like there are people like them around me. You don't know, they are just like normal people and you can't tell them apart at all. When you think everything is normal, they will suddenly show their ferocious faces to you." Liang Bingbing said this with rich expression and gesticulations.
"Don't worry, there aren't too many of those things. It's impossible to encounter them everywhere you go."
Lin Mo's words are still applicable now.
But if bronze door No. 7 continues to be opened, or if other bronze doors are also opened, it is hard to say what strange things will happen at that time.
Anyway, there is no worst, only worse.
Lin Mo asked Liang Bingbing to talk about business.
Liang Bingbing nodded and began to recount the entire story of what she had seen and heard. It was obvious that she was frightened and in a state of excitement, so it was inevitable that she was a little long-winded when she spoke.
Mainly because I was afraid that Lin Mo wouldn’t understand.
But the rules throughout the narrative are still clear.
Halfway through her talk, her brother came back with coffee, put it on the table, then said he was going to smoke a cigarette at the door and left again.
Obviously, he knew that it was best not to listen to this kind of conversation.
"You asked me to give them the phone, and I gave it to Director Liu, the director of our 4th Branch. Then they took me to the office next to the conference room. This office is separated from the conference room by a layer of wood, and it is not soundproof..."
Speaking of this, Lin Mo was obviously concerned.
He also knew that the real critical point happened three minutes after his call was hung up.
Because three minutes later, he arrived at the 4th Precinct.
The dummy over there abandoned its body and escaped within these three minutes.
Liang Bingbing continued to tell the story.
"I heard them discussing what to do next and whether they were exposed. At that time, I was completely sure that they were not living people, but some kind of monsters."
"Soon, I heard Liu Hengqiang seemed to answer a phone call."
"What did he say when he answered the phone?" Lin Mo knew that this call was the key.
"I didn't hear the details clearly, but I heard him say at the end, 'Thank you, No. 1!'"
Thank you, No. 1? Lin Mo frowned.
No. 1.
This is obviously not a normal name, but a code name.
Lin Mo asked Liang Bingbing to continue. She said that after answering the phone, the conference room was terribly quiet. She seemed to hear someone whispering, but she couldn't hear it clearly.
After that, some strange noises were heard.
"Later I learned that Liu Hengqiang killed all the monsters with a sharp weapon and committed suicide, but I knew they were just trying to escape and would come back again."
Liang Bingbing finished her speech.
Lin Mo nodded and began to ponder.
No matter who No. 1 is, the news must have been leaked by the other party.
What we can do now is to investigate Liu Hengqiang’s mobile phone first. The telecommunications operator has his call records, so at least we can know which number called him.
The investigation into this matter has actually already begun.
Investigating communication records is a step required by the charter.
However, Lin Mo still called Gong Shu and Wang Zhen and asked them to investigate this matter first.
In less than two minutes, the call was returned.
"We found out that the last person who called Liu Hengqiang was Han Feng from the General Administration's expert group. The call was made from his cell phone."
Upon hearing the news, Lin Mo was stunned.
The traitor was found? So quickly? The reason for this idea was that the other party's identity met the conditions of a traitor. Han Feng Lin Mo remembered that this Han Feng seemed to be a member of the combat team participating in this operation, which means that the other party had the conditions to know about the operation against the 4th Branch in advance.
In addition, the other party's identity also confirmed that a traitor hidden in the General Administration had surfaced just like that?
Lin Mo's first feeling was not happiness, but surprise.
It feels too easy.
Besides, Lin Mo had already confirmed at that time that there were no dummies among the personnel participating in the operation. He would not be wrong in this judgment. He could distinguish the mental fluctuations of the dummies.
"So, it's the ordinary humans who made the deal with the fake people?"
Lin Mo speculated at this moment.
Gong Shu and Wang Zhen have already reported the progress, and it is estimated that the director has already started making arrangements to arrest the person.
Who knows, the person may have been controlled now.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo asked Liang Bingbing if she had any other clues.
The latter shook his head.
"Expert Lin, do you think those things have already infiltrated our group?" Liang Bingbing was seeing things beyond belief, so Lin Mo advised her not to overthink it.
"I told you, there aren't many of those weird things. If you can come across one, it's like winning the lottery. If you want to come across it a second time, you'd be so lucky."
Liang Bingbing was also amused by Lin Mo.
"Thank you, Expert Lin. If there is nothing else, I will go back."
"Go ahead, I'm leaving too."
Lin Mo finished his coffee in one gulp, then stood up and went out with Liang Bingbing.
The guy at the door was still waiting, and when he saw Lin Mo coming out, he hurried forward.
"Okay, I've asked all the questions I need to ask. Go back. Everything is fine now."
Lin Mo waved and got in the car.
In the car, he received another call from Wang Zhen. Her position was a logistics support staff, responsible for maintaining communications, contacting various parties, and collecting and analyzing data from all parties.
"Team Leader Lin, the latest news is that Han Feng is missing!"
"Run away?" Lin Mo parked the car on the side of the road.
"It seems like this now. He can't be found at work or at home. His phone was left in the office, but he is nowhere to be found. Gong Shu is now checking the surveillance video to see if he can find any clues."
Arresting people is a technical job.
Lin Mo is not good at this, so just leave it to Gong Shu and Wang Zhen.
After he hung up the phone, he thought about it and roughly deduced a possibility.
"It should be because my action against the 4th Branch was also very sudden, catching them off guard. At that time, Han Feng, the traitor, did not have time to notify them by other means, so he chose to sacrifice himself and let the dummies in the 4th Branch escape first."
This is Lin Mo's inference.
If you think about it carefully, it makes sense. After all, exchanging one traitor for nearly thirty dummies is a very cost-effective deal. Moreover, these dummies are integrated with human memory and will have greater destructive capabilities in the future.
When Lin Mo rushed back to the General Administration, he went straight to see the director.
The chief said the person hasn’t been found yet.
"But it doesn't matter. As long as we know who did it, it's only a matter of time before we catch the person." The director's voice was steady, with the air of a big leader.
It can be seen that the director cares a lot about the dummy.
In other words, the upper echelons are very concerned about the matter of the dummies.
After all, these weird things are different from the nightmares encountered in the past. Nightmares can only exist in the nightmare world. Compared with the real world, it is an unreachable area for them.
But dummies are different.
After these strange creatures completely imitate a person and replace him, they can complete the complete replacement by killing the other person's existence in the nightmare reality.
Can replace the replaced person and return to the real world.
That's really scary.
In other words, the real world is no longer safe.
If Lin Mo were a senior leader, he would also treat this matter as a major event.
In the real world, there are professionals who catch people, but several hours have passed from dawn to dusk, and still no good news has been reported.
Lin Mo asked Wang Zhen to retrieve Han Feng's information and study it.
Han Feng, like Lin Mo, joined the Security Bureau halfway through his career. In fact, he joined the Security Bureau a few months earlier than Lin Mo.
It's considered as seniority.
At that time, the Security Bureau went through a period of rapid expansion, but there was no other way because of the shortage of manpower.
The nightmare world was everywhere at that time, and the Security Bureau was in urgent need of manpower to deal with it, so the threshold for entering the Security Bureau was very low at that time. Just like Lin Mo, according to normal procedures and regulations, he would not have been able to climb to his current position.
Head of the Special Affairs Handling Group of the General Administration.
It is equivalent to being at the same level as the head of the expert group.
This was only possible because Lin Mo had made great contributions and had good relationships with senior officials such as Professor Xie. Otherwise, he would be just like Han Feng, at most a member of an ordinary expert group.
Let’s continue talking about Han Feng.
The other party is very low-key.
Very low-key.
He is so low-key that he has hardly ever made any achievements. Basically, he just does whatever his superiors tell him to do.
However, this situation is also the situation of most people.
Very ordinary.
But it is because it is ordinary that it will not be discovered.
The information describes the other party's abilities in the nightmare world. This guy has a weird ghost radio through which he can hear some special sounds.
After training, it is possible to hear sound fluctuations within a fixed area.
Especially suitable for monitoring.
In addition, the other party has a code name in the expert group.
Of course, it's not called 'Radio', it's called Scorpion.
This Han Feng has another ability, combat ability, otherwise he would not have been incorporated into the combat team.
Lin Mo had seen it before and was deeply impressed, mainly because there was a big scorpion lying on its head.
This scorpion looks a lot like the facehugger from horror movies, except that it has a very long tail.
It must be two meters.
Hang down and drag on the ground.
The opponent's means of attack is this two-meter-long scorpion tail. The spikes are sharp and can easily pierce through wooden boards and iron sheets, but the real destructive power is the venom on the scorpion tail.
No matter whether it is a human or a nightmare, if stung by the scorpion's tail, it will at least lose a layer of skin if not die.
It is said that this guy had the scorpion on his head by chance, and the scorpion was attacked by another nightmare at that time and could only survive with the help of Han Feng.
So, a certain degree of symbiosis was formed.
Han Feng can also use this scorpion tail to attack the enemy, and its combat effectiveness is ranked B+ in the rating given by the General Administration.
In terms of attack power alone, it is very strong.
There is not much else in the information, just some basic review content, such as background, education, family situation, and relatives' situation.
What tasks have been completed so far and how are the tasks evaluated?
We have all of these.
Anyway, from this information, it is impossible to tell that this guy is a spy.
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Mo touched his chin and pondered at this time.
"This Han Feng is very strong. Speaking of his combat capability in the nightmare world, he is definitely in the first echelon of the expert group. Logically speaking, if the dummy wanted to threaten him, he might have killed him first. In other words, their cooperation may be voluntary and each party gets what they need?"
"Also, why did Liu Hengqiang call this Han Feng No. 1?"
Lin Mo knew that the number 1 could be simply interpreted as a code name, but it could also have a deeper meaning.
These are all unsolved mysteries at present.
It's late at night now.
Gong Shu followed the arrest team outside to look for people, but they couldn't find them.
No findings were found when monitoring information was retrieved.
The other party did not use identity recognition to check in at the hotel. Of course, anyone with a little common sense would know that if he used his own ID card to check in, he would be discovered immediately.
The director over there gave a strict order that Han Feng must be found.
Not only in the real world, but also in the safe zones of the nightmare world, they began to check.
Lin Mo looked at the people around him busying themselves, and he couldn't help much, so he planned to go to the toilet.
As a result, when he came out, a man flashed out from the utility room next door and pointed a gun at the back of Lin Mo.
