In the future chat group, I'll become the richest man by just eating gossip.

Chapter 42 Business Trip to Yueyang

[Shangguan Yingji: @Meicai Kourou, author, I have a shocking case from five years ago. Although it was solved quickly, it's still a topic of conversation even now. I wonder if you'd be interested?]

[Jing Xiaoqi: Wow, is the person upstairs talking about that butcher?]

[Shangguan Yingji: @Jing Xiaoqi, yes, it's that case.]

Seeing the chat between Shangguan Yingji and Jing Xiaoqi in the group, Feng Nan was tempted.

[Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: @Shangguan Yingji, I'm interested. Your chat has successfully hooked me. Tell me what case it is.]

Feng Nan was really curious about what kind of case it was that would still be brought up frequently even five years later.

[Shangguan Yingji: @Meicai Kourou, this case is a bit disgusting. I suggest you don't watch it while eating. The news link is below, take a look yourself.]

Along with this message came a news link.

[Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: @Shangguan Yingji, thank you, friend. This is just a small token of my appreciation.]

Feng Nan thanked her and sent Shangguan Yingji a 100-yuan red envelope.

After sending the red envelope, Feng Nan clicked on the link.

I began to carefully read this extremely disgusting news article, as described by Shangguan Yingji.

The headline of the news is...

[Case 803: Corpse Theft!]

"A case of stolen corpses?"

Upon seeing the title, Feng Nan was taken aback.

She couldn't understand what kind of major case this was.

They even added a date number to it.

After reading the news reports about the case, Feng Nan felt that her worldview had been shattered into pieces.

"This installation is amazing..."

Feng Nan exclaimed.

"My God, no wonder this case is still frequently mentioned even five years later. It's absolutely outrageous and shatters one's worldview."

Feng Nan was completely convinced.

"However, this case is not in this city, which makes it difficult to handle. How can I get involved?"

After being shocked, Feng Nan started to have a headache again.

Right now!

Quack, quack, quack——

Feng Nan's phone rang.

The caller ID shows Yueyang.

Feng Nan was taken aback, then pressed the answer button.

[Feng Nan: Brother Yue, is something wrong?]

Feng Nan asked in confusion.

[Yueyang: How is the injury?]

Yueyang neither said anything was wrong nor that nothing was wrong.

Instead, he inquired about her injuries first.

Feng Nan squinted, her instincts telling her that Yue Yang had something he wanted her to handle.

[Feng Nan: My injury is nothing serious. Brother Yue, just say what you need to say. Is there another tricky case coming up?]

Feng Nan didn't want to beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

[Yueyang: Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you. There really is a case. The higher-ups have organized a special task force, and they need to second two of our best detectives to the task force. My old captain's idea is for me to go with you.]

[Yueyang: We're going on a business trip to a neighboring city. The start date is unknown. If you can go, pack your things; we'll leave at dawn. If you can't, I'll talk to the old captain.]

Feng Nan squinted and pondered for a moment.

I suddenly remembered the 803 corpse theft case that I had just seen on the news.

"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"

Feng Nan was somewhat surprised.

He immediately decided to agree.

Even if it's not the 803 corpse theft case, it must be a major case, and there might be a reward.

Even if she hadn't, she had just become an unofficial member of the Major Crimes Unit, holding the title of consultant, and it wouldn't be good for her to mess up on her first case.

[Feng Nan: No problem, I don't need to pack anything, I can buy it when I get there. Brother Yue, come pick me up at dawn.]

[Yueyang: OK, see you at dawn.]

After saying that, Yueyang hung up the phone. Feng Nan glanced at the time; there were still several hours until dawn. So she charged her phone, set an alarm, and went to sleep.

Time slips away quietly in sleep.

Quack, quack, quack...

8 month 7 day.

07:00 AM.

Feng Nan's alarm clock rang on time.

Feng Nan turned off the alarm clock, closed her eyes for a few minutes, and then opened them again.

After getting out of bed, Feng Nan went to the bathroom to wash up, grabbed her phone and wallet, and left the ward.

"Xiao Feng, what are you doing so early?"

Li Biao, who hadn't slept all night while dealing with the killer case with Ye Wanwan, saw Feng Nan walk out of the ward and asked her in confusion.

"Brother Yue said he's taking me on a business trip to some special task force. I'll go buy some clothes to change into; I can't go on a business trip wearing a hospital gown, can I?"

Feng Nan said helplessly.

"Task force?"

Li Biao was taken aback.

"Go quickly, it must be a big case."

Coming to his senses, Li Biao laughed.

Feng Nan nodded: "Goodbye, Brother Li."

Waving to Li Biao, Feng Nan walked through the corridor, entered the elevator, and headed downstairs.

I walked out of the inpatient department and glanced at the time.

Fang Xiaocao

07: 35!

"It's a bit early!"

Feng Nan muttered to herself and walked towards the breakfast shop near the hospital entrance.

Entering the breakfast shop, Feng Nan ordered breakfast for several people, packed it up, and called a deliveryman to send it to Li Biao and the others in the inpatient department. She then ordered a bowl of porridge and sat in the shop to eat slowly.

When Feng Nan walked out of the breakfast shop, it was already eight o'clock in the morning. Seeing that it was almost time, Feng Nan slowly walked towards the commercial street across the road.

Some individual clothing stores had already opened by this time. Feng Nan wasn't picky about the brands of the clothes; she always just wanted something comfortable and that fit well. So she quickly bought some clothes.

By the time Feng Nan returned to the hospital, it was already 8:30 in the morning.

beep-

Just as Feng Nan was about to enter the hospital, she heard a loudspeaker behind her.

Feng Nan turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice, and saw Yue Yang waving at her: "Little Feng, over here."

Feng Nan smiled slightly, walked over quickly, and sat in the back seat: "Brother Yue, did you drive your own car today?"

Yueyang nodded: "It's alright, the old team leader will reimburse the gas money."

"Is there anything else you need to bring?"

"If there's nothing else, we'll just set off."

Yueyang turned to look at Feng Nan.

"That's all, let's go."

Feng Nan said with a smile.

Yueyang nodded and turned onto the main road.

"Brother Yue, can you tell me about the case?"

While looking at the news about the 803 corpse theft case in the future chat group, Feng Nan asked a question.

Feng Nan's intuition told her that the case she and Yue Yang were about to face was the 803 case.

Yueyang shook his head: "There are regulations, and it needs to be explained when you get to the local area. I don't know the details."

Hearing Yueyang say this, Feng Nan nodded and, being sensible, didn't ask any further questions.

I focused intently on the news in my hand.

If my hunch is right, then instead of wasting time overthinking, I'd rather spend more time remembering the details of Case 803.

Once you're in the task force, you can't just casually look through your phone like you do now.

With so many people around, and everyone being a master detective, if someone with ulterior motives were to spot the phone and discover its secrets, Feng Nan would have nowhere to turn.

As Feng Nan drove onto the highway in Yueyang, getting closer and closer to the mysterious task force and the mysterious case, his anticipation grew.
