My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 77 Chen Zhenghai's Plan

A cat appears in a private room at a hotel, and there is an investigator in the special operations team named "Catwoman".

These two points combined made Li Jiuhe suddenly understand why Chen Zhenghai wanted to end the topic.

Although he wasn't sure, he knew that the cat's appearance might be related to the catwoman.

Even if it's unrelated, it's clearly inappropriate to continue discussing the topic from earlier in this setting.

He had only recently joined the Bureau of Investigation and was unaware of the relationship between the Special Operations Group and the regular Investigation Group, but now it seemed that the relationship was clearly not so friendly.

Recalling Liu Qian's furious state at the bureau today, he realized that it wasn't just one group and the special group that had this kind of relationship; unfriendly relations seemed to be a common occurrence.

However, the special task force is subordinate to the bureau chief, which is higher than the regular investigation team, so there's nothing that can be done even if they don't get along.

The meal was finished quickly, and the people at the table talked about other things during the meal.

However, since the most important and concerning topics could not be discussed, there was no need for them to linger after the meal.

Soon everyone dispersed. Xu Wei was driving home and happened to pass by the road leading to Li Jiuhe's neighborhood, so she asked Li Jiuhe to get in her car and give him a ride.

More than ten minutes after the car drove away, Xu Wei said, "When we left the restaurant just now, I saw at least three cats."

It's normal to see cats and dogs near a hotel, but Li Jiuhe knew that this seemingly normal scene was definitely unusual coming from Xu Wei's mouth, especially since he knew that an investigator in the special team was called "Catwoman".

"What are this catwoman's abilities?" he asked.

"All I know is that she can control cats, lots of cats, and can transfer those cats' abilities to herself. I've also heard that she can stack those abilities." Xu Wei said with a serious expression.

Li Jiuhe nodded: "So, just now, Team Leader Chen suspected that Catwoman might be using her ability to control cats to eavesdrop on our conversation?"

"Yes, although we may be being paranoid, we still have to be careful." Xu Wei's expression was serious.

Li Jiuhe was puzzled: "We're all from the Investigation Bureau, is it necessary to be so guarded? Or is there some reason I don't know about?"

Xu Wei shrugged: "Team Leader Chen must have his reasons for doing this; his ability is to uncover secrets. As for the specifics of why he did it, I don't really know. Didn't he tell you to go to his office first thing tomorrow morning? You can ask him then."

Li Jiuhe nodded; it seemed this was the only option now.

Everyone's sequence ability has its own focus, and he can't possibly match Chen Zhenghai's insight, so some questions can only be answered by communicating with Chen Zhenghai.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the residential compound, Xu Wei dropped Li Jiuhe off on the street and quickly left.

Li Jiuhe bought some daily necessities at the supermarket next to the community, took a shower when he got home, and threw the dirty clothes he had changed into over the past few days into the washing machine.

After it was dried, the phone was fully charged.

Having slept enough during the day, he wasn't sleepy anymore and was preparing to use his phone to check the geography of the Dragon Ridge Mountains.

The daughter is now facing two possible outcomes, and according to her tracker Luo Shuo, both outcomes are possible.

Such an inexplicable and bizarre outcome made Li Jiuhe wonder if the outcome of survival might be in a delicate state of stability.

As long as the mastermind doesn't make any further moves, their survival status should continue.

Moreover, even if he were to panic and cause a major disaster, it would be useless. On the contrary, if he were to act rashly and handle the situation haphazardly, he might ruin the outcome and bring about an irreparable catastrophe.

For Li Jiuhe, his daughter's life was more important than his own!

During the search, Li Jiuhe carefully looked through the entire house again. Strangely enough, there was not a single item or trace of her daughter left in the house.

In my memory, Li Yi's bedroom, which used to be very cozy, now looks like a room that has been abandoned for many years and no one has slept in it. The dust, the piled-up quilts and clothes, and the messy items all give the impression that they have been left untouched for several years.

"Why didn't that person change my perception, but instead painstakingly erased Li Yi's traces and then changed the perceptions of so many other people?"

The doubts in my mind have resurfaced these past two days, but so far there are still no answers.

Li Jiuhe sat on the sofa, thinking as he scrolled through the information about the Dragon Ridge Mountains on his phone.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

"Who is it?" He got up and went to the door.

"I am Chen Zhenghai." A familiar voice rang out.

Li Jiuhe was taken aback, and subconsciously he immediately created a new task.

The task was simple: contact Chen Zhenghai outside, find out what happened, and make sure you were not in danger.

This task itself does not involve any anomalies, so it is just a regular task and there are no rewards.

Li Jiuhe was mainly surprised because Chen Zhenghai had just said he would come to his office early the next morning, but now he was suddenly visiting late at night.

Something is suspicious.

Just as Li Jiuhe finished setting up the task and was about to open the door, his expression suddenly changed, and he carefully examined the task information.

After a moment, he quickly calmed his emotions and opened the door with a composed expression.

Chen Zhenghai stood outside the door with a smile on his face, his cheeks slightly flushed from drinking beer during dinner.

It was clear that he hadn't gone home, but had instead wandered around outside before coming to Li Jiuhe's place.

"I've come uninvited," Chen Zhenghai said with a smile.

Li Jiuhe quickly invited him into the house.

Although he was surprised, he was assured that the mission reset was a safeguard.

Even if the Chen Zhenghai in front of him is someone else in disguise, or has other motives, he can still observe the situation calmly.

"Team Leader Chen, what brings you here?"

Chen Zhenghai took the glass of warm water that Li Jiuhe handed him, drank half of it in one gulp, and then said, "I deliberately asked you to come see me tomorrow when we were at the restaurant. If we talk again tomorrow, they won't be on guard today, or at least their guard will be reduced by half. Hmm, I already confirmed before I came here that I wasn't being followed."

Li Jiuhe frowned deeply: "What exactly is going on? Why are you so wary of... your colleagues from the special task force?"

"Because it's unusual," Chen Zhenghai replied. "There's always something fishy going on when things are unusual! The special task force used to just make people feel disgusted and unwilling to have contact with them, but now it's more than just being disgusting. Today I've figured out that they're hiding something from us, including from the director."

"Why would you say that?" Li Jiuhe was even more puzzled.

Chen Zhenghai explained, "The case of apprehending the tracker was originally quite ordinary, but because it involved the robbery of the command vehicle, it was upgraded by the special task force, which makes sense. But why was your daughter's case also upgraded? Is it simply because Yu Minmin knows the Ghost Eye and the Invisible Man, and they serve the same mastermind? But you are clearly more crucial in this case; you're not only an insider but also possess a lot of information. Why won't they let you join?"

"So...they're deliberately avoiding me?" Li Jiuhe asked, puzzled.

"I don't know what these guys are doing," Chen Zhenghai shook his head, "but they've clearly discovered some crucial issue, we just don't know it yet. And there might only be one way to uncover this crucial issue."

"What method?"

"Tonight, we'll head straight to the regional containment facility on the outskirts of the city!" Chen Zhenghai said. "The person the Ghost Eyes are planning to rescue from the containment facility using the command vehicle should be the key!"

Li Jiuhe said, moved, "You mean, the person detained in the detention center... might be the mastermind!?"
