The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

Chapter 63 You are the bait
Jiang Chuan rushed to Chen Xingyang's office in the Antisocial Personality Investigation Team.

I encountered some trouble on the way in; they wouldn't let me in until they verified my identity.

However, these minor incidents did not cause Jiang Chuan any unnecessary emotional reaction.

He had to tell Chen Xingyang everything that came to mind as quickly as possible.

When they pushed open the door, they saw that Chen Xingyang had just finished his meeting.

Several members of the inspection team filed out of the office, while Chen Xingyang looked at Jiang Chuan with some confusion: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chuan said anxiously, "Captain Chen, I just thought of something else."

"I felt like something was off, but I'm only realizing it now..."

"us……"

He paused abruptly, then asked, "Captain Chen, is there anyone else in your office who can hear you?"

Chen Xingyang was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "You underestimate me too much."

"It's okay, just tell me."

Jiang Chuan nodded and spoke very quickly:
"I suspect many of my neighbors have already taken that drug!"

"Team Leader Chen, your operation tomorrow will be extremely dangerous!"

"I immediately sensed something was wrong. Their daughter had just passed away, and these elderly couple were still in the mood to deliver pastries to their neighbors?"

"There's definitely something wrong here!"

Chen Xingyang remained calm and said, "Hmm."

"I know."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback by these words.

Then Chen Xingyang continued:
"Our operation will take place tonight, not tomorrow."

"Don't worry."

"In addition, I will also keep a record of what you said."

"You've added another achievement to your list."

Just tonight?

Jiang Chuan was stunned for a moment.

Didn't you just say you wanted to take things slowly? Didn't you say you wanted to plan things out? So it was all a joke?
Despite his inner grumbling, it seems that Captain Chen has already realized what happened... I was just too slow to react.

But I've added another achievement to my list? Captain Chen, don't you need a promotion?

Chen Xingyang looked at Jiang Chuan for a moment, then smiled and said, "If that's all, then go back. I have a lot of things to prepare for tonight's operation."

Jiang Chuan snapped out of his daze and immediately nodded, saying:
"There are still some..."

This time, it was Chen Xingyang's turn to be stunned.

besides?

Is there anything else that I haven't noticed?

Jiang Chuan's voice came through: "Captain Chen, I remember you said that the investigators who went to Qin Dahai's house a few times before didn't notice some details in their statements."

"It's about the timeline issue you mentioned..."

"If the elderly couple's neighbors were also infected, does that mean... those statements from them that failed to detect the problem were actually intentionally fabricated?"

"This very likely indicates that there are problems within the inspection team as well!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xingyang's pupils contracted slightly.

He instinctively wanted to retort, how could his own people possibly have problems?
But such rebuttals were meaningless; Chen Xingyang's rationality told him that Jiang Chuan was right.

He opened his mouth, then nodded silently before saying, "That is indeed possible."

Jiang Chuan continued:
"I think it's not just a possibility..."

He recalled what happened at Qin Dahai's house, saying:

"Do you remember what Qin Dahai and his wife said before we left?"

He told us to eat before we left!

"This is not just a case of them wanting to turn their backs on us and leave us here; it's not just a harbinger of conflict!"

"They really want us to eat something!"

Why are you masking the smell of the food!?

Why mask the aroma of the tea!?

"If Brother Yue hadn't been knocking on the door, they might have already started a fight!"

"The most likely outcome is that we've both been infected by now!"

Jiang Chuan spoke quickly and in a strong, clear voice:

"It's not possible!"

"Captain Chen, those members of the inspection team who were previously visited should have already been infected!"

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, Chen Xingyang felt a tingling sensation in the back of his head.

He couldn't help but feel a lingering fear, but not of what happened in apartment 1404 of the Happiness Home community; rather, he was terrified of tonight's operation! If the team members sent to investigate earlier had fallen into a trap, then tonight's operation was very likely a trap to lure them in!
Chen Xingyang: "Jiang Chuan..."

Jiang Chuan: "Huh?"

Chen Xingyang: "You're something else!"

He gave Jiang Chuan a thumbs up: "I will report this matter truthfully as well. It's another great achievement!"

Zhao Yongxuan's case is an isolated one, and the specific efficacy of the drug remains a mystery. Moreover, no one has ever said that there is only one type of drug.

However, even if we don't know what kind of changes the drug will bring to the user, we can still discern something from the written record. Perhaps it is some kind of hypnosis, or perhaps it is more blatant manipulation. In any case, since the awakening of memories began, there are fewer and fewer things that can be judged by common sense.

Regardless of the drug's effectiveness, if someone within the monitoring team has indeed been manipulated, then tonight's operation is very likely to be leaked...

Even with thorough preparations, if someone within the operation team betrays them, it will be an even greater disaster!
Moreover, they will not be facing ordinary people, but most likely people with combat power similar to Zhao Yongxuan!
If the situation Jiang Chuan mentioned actually occurs, the consequences... are simply unimaginable!
Chen Xingyang hadn't thought of this before.

But this is only human nature. No matter how meticulous one is, one is not a god and will inevitably make mistakes.

Especially when it comes to people we're in constant contact with, blind spots naturally appear. As the saying goes, a fortress is always breached from within, and that's certainly true.

But Jiangchuan doesn't have this kind of obstacle.

However, if it weren't for the bloodshed that forced Jiang Chuan to think things through, this matter would most likely have just passed by...

Fortunately, Shen Jing provided the source of the suspicion.

At this moment, Jiang Chuan frowned and continued:

"Let's put aside the question of merit or not..."

"Captain Chen, what are you planning to do?"

Chen Xingyang's expression softened, and he said in a more relaxed tone:

"Now that we are on guard, victory should be assured."

"But this matter..."

"I need your cooperation."

"I can roughly guess what they're going to do..."

"Tonight, we'll use a clever trick to lure the snake out of its hole."

Jiang Chuan was taken aback. Me, cooperate?
He has no intention of cooperating.

In Jiang Chuan's mind, he felt that if he cooperated at this moment, it would be exactly what he was meant to do, bringing about a bloody disaster.

He is now in a dilemma. According to what he learned from Shen Jing, divination is something that will come true no matter what choice you make.

However, Jiang Chuan quickly gritted his teeth and agreed to Chen Xingyang's suggestion:

"How to cooperate?"

Since you're going to get stabbed whether you stick your neck out or not, you might as well take control of the situation.

This is much better than waiting idly for danger to strike.

Chen Xingyang said, "You just need to do this and that..."

……

……

The crescent moon is like a hook.

Jiang Chuan's room 4301 was dark. He sat listlessly on the edge of the bed, looking at the time on his phone, and could hear his heart pounding.

He had already run 200 laps today and was still exhausted, but in order to save his life and avoid losing any limbs, he insisted on completing tonight's task.

The words Chen Xingyang had spoken that evening were still echoing in his ears.

"The people the Public Security Bureau is interviewing and questioning should be ignored for the time being."

"However, at least four people within our monitoring team are suspected of being infiltrated."

"It is worth noting, however, whether these four individuals have infiltrated others, which remains unknown."

"Your job is to act as bait."

"Whoever comes to our door tonight is the wolf."

"But the other side isn't stupid either. Tonight's situation is likely to be quite complicated, so be flexible and adaptable."

The phrase "flexible and adaptable" is incredibly crucial.

The time is 21:00.

Chen Xingyang's monitoring team had already set off for their evening operation, while Jiang Chuan closed his eyes and activated his perception domain.

Although the range that can be sensed is only ten meters in diameter...

But it's better than nothing, right?

I don't know if the preparations I've made will be enough to avert this bloodshed.

Regardless, I have done my best.

All that's left to do is wait.

Let's see who comes out on top in the end.
