My daughter has been possessed.

Chapter 73 Chess Pieces

"I hope you're not lying." Xu Wei said this and turned to leave the detention cell.

It is obvious that they need to verify whether Yu Minmin's words are true.

During the interrogation, Chen Zhenghai's keen insight was evident around Yu Minmin.

He discovered that the woman didn't seem to be lying; she was indeed not a time traveler from the future.

But Li Jiuhe had told him before that this woman knew a lot about Li Jiuhe, including his ability to define tasks.

Even that rune pattern was obtained by Li Jiuhe through this woman.

Among the seized items, they discovered another silver-plated dagger in Yu Minmin's possession, which was almost identical to the one that Li Jiuhe had given to the Investigation Bureau earlier.

The rune pattern is still complete and clear, and its quality is much higher than the rune that the Investigation Bureau has.

To deal with the Sequencers, one must use these rune patterns. It should be noted that even Lu Guan's pistol and the surface of every bullet he fires are engraved with runes.

However, the runes on it were provided by the Bureau of Investigation, and the patterns and lines were rough. If they were replaced with the current runes, the effect of killing the invisible man would be even stronger.

"Not a time traveler from the future."

Li Jiuhe wondered to himself, if Yu Minmin wasn't from the future, why would she know so much about him and Li Yi?

But it's no use asking him now, because Yu Minmin doesn't remember any of it.

She will only find out about two weeks later, once her causal connection to the plan is restored.

The initial idea behind having Gao Jingting sever the causal link between these people's plans was to prevent them from continuing to carry out the plan, so as to avoid them hiding in the shadows and posing a threat to him, and to ensure his daughter's safety to the greatest extent possible.

Even Chen Zhenghai didn't expect that this operation would now turn around and prevent them from getting more information for the time being.

However, if we wait about two weeks, more secrets will be revealed.

While Xu Wei was verifying the truth of Yu Minmin's words, the shelter was not idle.

Li Jiuhe continued, "Do you know the invisible man in the car?"

Yu Minmin nodded: "I know him. His name is Lan Linsheng. He's... a member of the Lingjue Party."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiuhe and Chen Zhenghai immediately exchanged a glance.

They knew perfectly well that the invisible man who had escaped during the last capture of the pursuers was this guy named Lan Linsheng.

Because one group only captured the person with the "mysterious eyes" at the time, and through the "mysterious eyes" person's confession, the name of the invisible person was Lan Linsheng.

"So you're also a member of the Spiritual Awakening Party?" Chen Zhenghai asked.

Yu Minmin immediately shook her head vigorously: "No, no, I have nothing to do with the Lingjue Party! Those people are enemies of your Investigation Bureau, but I am not."

"So how did you two meet?"

"After the Spiritual Awakening Party was defeated by you, most of its members were either arrested or fled, and many went on to do other shady things. We just happened to run into them, and we were all working for the same person."

"For whom?"

"I've never seen this person before, I only accepted his mission, and this mission is... is..."

At this point, Yu Minmin looked confused, as if she was trying hard to remember.

However, she quickly gave up, muttering to herself, "Things have been going on strangely since yesterday. I can't remember anything about it. I suspect my perception might have been altered."

Li Jiuhe and Chen Zhenghai knew why she couldn't remember, but it had nothing to do with a change in cognition, so neither of them pressed her for an answer.

Just then, Xu Wei called from upstairs. Chen Zhenghai answered, nodded, and then hung up.

He looked at Li Jiuhe and lowered his voice, saying, "Xu Wei just confirmed that Yu Minmin is indeed from Hezhou City. Her Sequence Awakening happened about two years ago, which is relatively late. She was also registered with the Hezhou City Investigation Bureau, but hasn't reported there for nearly a year."

Chen Zhenghai then looked at Yu Minmin: "You said you've never seen that person before, so how did he assign you tasks?"

"We go to sleep, and when we wake up, he has already arranged everything for us in our dreams," Yu Minmin replied.

These words inexplicably reminded Li Jiuhe and Chen Zhenghai of the "Nightmare" they had just captured.

The two suddenly had a strange guess: could it be that even the Nightmare Man was related to the person behind the scenes?

"Can you see this person in your dreams, or...?"

Before Chen Zhenghai could finish asking, Yu Minmin shook her head. "No, he has to contact me first, otherwise I can't find him."

She then looked puzzled, and while recalling and thinking, she said, "I remember he told me a lot of things in the dream, including how to make the Silver Etched Dagger, how to engrave the runes on it, and a mission, a very important mission..."

Li Jiuhe simply looked at her without saying a word.

At this moment, he believed that his family's source of information was related to the mastermind, and that Yu Minmin was just a pawn doing things for someone else.

Of course, the chess piece's memory has been severed, but if it remembers in a few days, it should be able to provide them with more clues.

After a moment of silence, Li Jiuhe stood up and said, "You just stay here for the next few days and don't worry about anything. The Investigation Bureau will provide you with plenty of food and drink. If you remember anything, just press this button and tell us."

He then pointed to a red button near the door, which was the external communication line.

Gao Jingting had just told Li Jiuhe that if he wanted Yu Minmin to quickly restore her causal connection, he couldn't rush her, because rushing wouldn't help.

The only way is to let her relax, stop overthinking, eat and sleep as usual, and maybe the connection will be restored sooner.

As Chen Zhenghai and I emerged from the shelter and returned to the office floor, Liu Qian and Gao Jingting also returned from outside.

The two groups met in the corridor, and by then the sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten.

Chen Zhenghai said, "After interrogating Yu Minmin, we have confirmed that the invisible man lurking in the car trying to kill her is Lan Linsheng."

Liu Qian nodded: "We just found out that Lan Linsheng is in very good physical condition, so we interrogated him immediately after the surgery."

At this point, Liu Qian took a few steps closer: "Lan Linsheng also told us that someone ordered him to kill Yu Minmin and Wang Feng."

Chen Zhenghai countered, "Is he someone in a dream?"

Liu Qian was taken aback, then nodded: "You already know."

"I don't know who it is either." Chen Zhenghai waved his hand. "But Lan Linsheng and Yu Minmin's boss are the same person. It seems that Yu Minmin has been discarded by this person."

"Why did you abandon her? Was it because I discovered her, her identity was exposed, and she was almost caught?" Li Jiuhe was also puzzled.

As Liu Qian pondered, she nodded and said, "We should add one more thing: that person may have already discovered that they want to leave Wangchuan City."

Chen Zhenghai's expression turned serious: "Team Leader Liu, the case where the Ghost Eye Man and the Invisible Man tried to steal the command vehicle last time also seemed to have a mastermind behind it. Now, both of our cases point to the same person behind the scenes. There might be a much bigger secret hidden behind this!"

"In dreams, it's all just dreams."

Liu Qian nodded, seemingly having thought of something, and said to Chen Zhenghai, "I'm getting more and more apprehensive. Why don't you just hand over that Nightmare user you captured to me for interrogation? With my interrogation methods, I can find out where the Nightmare user's ancestors are buried, provided she knows."

Originally, Liu Qian and others were just curious about Li Jiuhe's daughter's case, feeling like bystanders, but now she suddenly finds it hard to stay out of it.
