Chapter 382 Development

Could it be that we were really being manipulated by the perpetrator behind the scenes without knowing it? Are all the abnormalities in He Wei caused by manipulation?

In our own speculation, the perpetrator behind the scenes manipulated Hu Shan, Wang Yong and other key figures, all in order to lead the development of the incident to the ending shown on the old piece of paper in Hu Shan's dream. In this case, what is the purpose of the perpetrator behind the scenes manipulating He Wei?

In other words, according to common sense analysis, what kind of results can the anomalies encountered by He Wei lead to?

Lu Ming's heart was filled with coldness. He thought quickly, but couldn't figure it out for a long time. Finally, he took out his mobile phone and quietly sent a message to Zhang Dingshan.

"Captain, He Wei has been acting strangely these past few days. I suspect that she has been manipulated by the perpetrators behind the scenes. I'm with her now, so don't make phone calls."

Zhang Dingshan responded quickly.

"What are the abnormalities?"

Lu Ming sorted out his thoughts and sent Zhang Dingshan one by one the abnormalities he felt these days.

It seemed that playing with the phone all the time caught He Wei's attention. He Wei was a little dissatisfied: "Watching a movie, what are you doing playing with the phone all the time?"

Lu Ming stiffened and forced a smile on his face, trying his best not to reveal any flaws: "There is something small at home."

"snort."

"He Wei is starting to doubt me, let's talk about it later."

"Just wait and see what happens, don't jump into the grass and scare the snake."

Lu Ming glanced at Zhang Dingshan's latest instructions, turned off his phone, and started pretending to watch a movie while secretly continuing to observe He Wei.

The movie ended and the two finally left. After returning to the hotel and saying goodbye, Lu Ming quickly took out his cell phone and continued the previous conversation.

He was filled with worries. At this stage, we do not know what this manipulation actually means.

Could it be that the perpetrators behind the scenes have noticed their own actions and are planning to take action against them? Or... is the manipulation at this moment just a warning?

All the information currently available was told to Zhang Dingshan, and finally, Zhang Dingshan made a decision.

"The investigation into Wang Yong will end tomorrow. After that, don't cause any trouble and come back to Dajiang City base immediately. I will handle it."

"yes."

Full of doubts, Lu Ming tossed and turned for a long time before finally falling asleep.

Early the next morning, He Wei woke up Lu Ming. They bit the bullet and had breakfast with He Wei, and conducted some follow-up screenings on Wang Yong's case. After confirming that they could not obtain any valuable information, the two finally decided to leave the city and return to Dajiang City.

He Wei's behavior on this day was quite normal, which made Lu Ming relax a little.

After returning to the base, before he had time to rest, Zhang Dingshan said to He Wei: "Come to the conference room."

"Okay, what time?"

"Now."

"Let's go, Lu Ming."

He Wei called Lu Ming casually, put down the things in her hands, and followed Zhang Dingshan to the conference room. But Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "Lu Ming doesn't need to go, you can come by yourself."

"Myself?"

He Wei was a little surprised. She looked at Lu Ming, then at Zhang Dingshan, and said angrily: "Okay."

After arriving at the conference room and closing the door, He Wei immediately asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Dingshan looked at He Wei steadily until He Wei felt a little frightened and then placed a questionnaire in front of her.

"Fill it in."

"Psychological assessment?...Captain, this..."

"I order you in the name of the captain of the Second Action Team to fill it out carefully. Don't ask any questions about the rest."

He Wei became more and more suspicious, but faced Zhang Dingshan's order, she could only obey: "Yes."

After finally filling out the questionnaire, he handed it to Zhang Dingshan. Zhang Dingshan looked at it, as if to confirm something, and put the questionnaire aside: "He Wei, where have you been during this vacation?"

"Holiday? I went to a lot of places. I climbed snow-capped mountains and went hiking..."

He Wei answered suspiciously, and Zhang Dingshan seemed to be just chatting, asking about He Wei's daily life.

"You climbed to the top by yourself? The scenery on the top of the snow-capped mountains should be good. And saw the sunrise? Not bad, what was it like at that time?"

"You also found a job as a cashier in a supermarket? This is not like your character. Well, it's also time to experience the daily life of ordinary people."

He Wei couldn't bear it anymore: "Captain, what's going on? You came to me just to chat?"

The solemnity on Zhang Dingshan's face has long since disappeared, and there is even a little smile at this moment: "It is my duty as a captain to care about the lives of my comrades. There is nothing wrong with knowing about your daily life, right?"

He Wei scratched her head: "There is nothing wrong. But you were so solemn at the beginning, I thought there was something big..."

"It's nothing serious." Zhang Dingshan shook his head: "It's just a regular exchange. Not only you, but also Lu Ming and Qing Liang. Okay, you can go out. Remember to continue the meeting in the evening to discuss the next step of the investigation."

"yes."

"Call Lu Ming over."

He Wei was still full of doubts. She always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure it out clearly, so she had to agree and left here.

"Lu Ming, the captain is looking for you. By the way, Lu Ming, have we made any new regulations in our operations department? The captain must have regular heart-to-heart talks with the team members to understand their ideological trends?"

"Huh? Ah... No, no? I didn't hear about it."

Lu Ming realized something.

He Wei became more and more confused, but she couldn't figure it out anyway, so she had to give up temporarily.

Lu Ming arrived at the conference room, sat down, and listened to Zhang Dingshan say: "I have confirmed that He Wei has not been manipulated and there is nothing abnormal. You can rest assured."

Lu Ming suddenly raised his head, a little anxiously: "But Captain, she's been really weird these days. She, she actually calls me to eat every morning! She even invites me to watch a movie, Captain! She even wears perfume! Captain, you don’t know, I was so scared that my legs were a little weak, I knew I couldn’t beat her, if she tried to attack me then I would be finished!”

A smile appeared on Zhang Dingshan's face: "I said, I have confirmed that there is nothing abnormal about her."

"But……"

"No buts."

"Then why..."

"Think about it yourself." Zhang Dingshan interrupted Lu Ming directly before he could ask him: "You can figure it out yourself."

Lu Ming was full of suspicion. But in the face of Zhang Dingshan's decisiveness, he could only say dullly: "Okay, I'll leave first."

"Stay here for ten minutes. Watch the time and leave in ten minutes."

"Why?"

"This is an order."

"All right."

Lu Ming felt uncomfortable all over at this moment, as if there was a nail board on his seat. After finally getting through ten minutes, he got up and left.

"One by one, it's inexplicable." He muttered: "But the captain said there is no abnormality, that means there is no abnormality. I think the captain was able to hold on to himself and spit out some information despite the temptation of the God of Destiny. , even if there is a manipulator behind the scenes this time, no matter how powerful he is, he will not be able to control the captain."

He tried to think about what Zhang Dingshan meant when he said "you can figure it out yourself", why Zhang Dingshan was so sure that He Wei was not abnormal, and why He Wei's behavior was so weird even though there was no abnormality, but he still couldn't figure it out clearly.

Fortunately, after returning to the base in Dajiang City, He Wei's behavior seemed to be much normal, and Lu Ming slowly let go of his doubts.

In the evening, the team meeting was held again. At this time, He Wei seemed more normal. She had fully entered the role of an investigator and began to calmly and rationally analyze recent developments and information. The last doubt in Lu Ming's heart disappeared.

"Hu Shan's situation has been normal in the past few days. There are no small-probability incidents involving Hu Shan within the base."

"How is Hu Shan's mood?"

"Hu Shan is a cautious and timid person. He has made it clear that he will fully cooperate with our arrangements. He also asked Cheng Lan to bring his laptop over and start working remotely in the base. It seems that he is doing Now that Lai is here, he won’t leave until the matter is cleared up.”

"Cheng Lan also supports this and thinks he should stay here. By the way, given that the current situation is relatively stable, I have decided to give Hu Shan two hours of alone time from 8 to 10 pm every night. Here For a period of time, we will stop all surveillance of him. He can have some private conversations with Cheng Lan. Of course, relevant security measures will continue to operate. Once an accident occurs, personnel will arrive within thirty seconds."

Zhang Dingshan reported the recent developments, and Lu Ming also said: "He Wei and I have comprehensively reviewed the Wang Yong case in the past few days. The following are the details. We have investigated in detail the behavior of several key figures before the case. As of So far, no suspicion has been found.”

Lu Qingliang muttered: "Hu Shan dreamed of more than 20 people in total. All those who had reached the deadline died, and they died in the way shown on the old piece of paper in the dream. However, since neither Hu Shan nor Wang Yong could find out, Abnormal, so I don’t think there is any need to investigate the deaths of those people.”

"Indeed." Lu Ming nodded: "The other party should not leave any loopholes for us to find. Our attention should be on the cases that have not happened."

"The other party can lay a trap and quietly lead to the death of the person involved. After knowing who the next person involved is, we can also lay a trap."

He Wei pondered: "Yes. This is the best plan. The only limitation is that we don't know when Hu Shan will dream again. When he dreams about the death date of the new person involved, we can only wait. "

"Hu Shan hasn't had any dreams in the past few days, right? But according to past rules, he should have dreams again in the near future."

"Then let's wait and see."

"If you have to wait, waiting is not an option. It's better to take advantage of this time to screen past cases first."

"That's fine."

"Then, Lu Ming, should the two of us go?"

He Wei looked at Lu Ming with a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Lu Ming felt inexplicably guilty and did not dare to look directly at He Wei. He said bravely: "This investigation is not very troublesome or difficult. Considering efficiency, we should separate and each be responsible for a case."

Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment and said: "Separate, each is responsible for one."

Lu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, while He Wei was a little disappointed. However, considering that Zhang Dingshan’s arrangement does make sense, I can only accept it.

The two of them went to different cities and began to further sort out and investigate the past cases, trying to find some clues about the most likely manipulator hidden behind the scenes.

The investigation of the two people is ongoing. In the Dajiang City base, Hu Shan has been living in the room under strict surveillance, but he does not seem to feel restrained, but is enjoying himself.

Except that he missed being unable to be with his wife Cheng Lan, everything else was fine. There is no need to worry about food, housing and safety. In terms of work, after the local Public Security Bureau came forward to coordinate, the company leaders also took better care of themselves and gave special permission to work remotely.

Even missing my wife can be relieved by two hours of video a day.

Overall, it's nice to live here.

On this day, I ended the video with my wife as usual, dealt with the work matters, and then it was time to go to bed.

"I wonder if I will have that strange dream today." Hu Shan thought in his mind: "It has been seven or eight days since the last dream, right? According to the rules, it should be soon."

After dreaming about his own death, he dreamed about another person. However, that person's death was in his sleep, and the date was more than thirty years later. This is obviously of little value.

Only those with a recent death date have value.

In his sleep, a strange feeling came over him in a daze. Drowsily, he saw the old paper again.

The old paper appears for a while and then disappears. He was still in a deep sleep. After a long time, he finally woke up at around seven o'clock in the morning.

After recovering a little, his heart suddenly tightened.

Dreaming again! I had that weird dream again!

He tried to remember, and gradually recalled the information on the old piece of paper in his dream.

"Zhao Zonghai, his birth address is the Sixth Hospital of Haiyuan City. His date of birth is May 25, 1986. His life span is May 1952 and 10 days. His manner of death is that he slipped and fell into the water. Calculating this way, his death date is , it was November 4, 1938, that is... five days later, five days later at one o'clock in the morning."

Hu Shan suddenly sat up and looked to the side, where the two guards were sitting upright in their seats with serious expressions on their faces.

"Comrade Security Officer, I, I had that weird dream again."

Hu Shan's words were very urgent.

The two guards immediately stood up.

"We will report immediately."

A moment later, Zhang Dingshan came in a hurry. At this time, Hu Shan had already written the information he saw in the dream on the paper.

Zhang Dingshan took it and took a look.

"Very good. We will deal with it. Don't worry about it, just continue your work."

"Yes Yes."

After leaving Hu Shan's room, Zhang Dingshan took out his mobile phone.

"Gather at Haiyuan City immediately."
