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

Chapter 44: Did you fall for it?
Seeing that it was almost done, Feng Nan immediately called a halt in the group chat, stopping the group members from posting anymore.

[Braised Pork Belly with Preserved Mustard Greens: @Everyone: Friends, that's enough! Don't be discouraged if you weren't selected. If my selections aren't enough, I'll select again. But please don't post common or repetitive news. If anyone has any exclusive reports or even exclusive news, feel free to @ me to discuss it in detail.]

After sending the message, Feng Nan stopped paying attention to what was being said in the group chat, took out her notebook and pen, and began to look through the selected news articles.

When Feng Nan sees something useful, he will copy it down so that he can refer to it at any time when handling cases.

[Sacrifice Murder Case: Recently, a bizarre murder case has occurred in this city. The murderer's methods are extremely cruel, and he sets up an altar at the scene, using the victim's body as a sacrifice, placing it on the altar to offer to the god he believes in...]

As Feng Nan read about the sacrificial murder case, she felt waves of physical discomfort.

The murderer's methods were more than just cruel.

That's absolutely inhumane.

Outrageous!

Moreover, these lunatics chose students as their targets.

Both high school students and university students are included.

None of the male victims were over 24 years old, and none of the female victims were over 22 years old.

Those who were arrested ten years ago, when interrogated, shamelessly claimed that sacrificial offerings older than a certain age would have meat that was too old and wouldn't taste good.

The accompanying photos from the scene in the news were even more terrifying, comparable to hell.

Bleeding, skinning, pulling out tendons, dismembering...

This is the torture that almost every victim in the sacrificial murder case will inevitably suffer.

In two of the cases, the forensic autopsies concluded that the victims had been tortured to death.

Just thinking about that kind of painful torment, helplessness, and despair sent chills down Feng Nan's spine.

Humans can be so cruel to their own kind.

Does this murderer even deserve to be called a human being?

dong dong dong...

Just as Feng Nan was concentrating on sorting through the clues from the future news, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Completely absorbed in the case, Feng Nan was startled by a sudden knock on the door.

I glanced at the time on my phone.

It's already 11:30.

Feng Nan put down her phone and walked towards the door.

"Who is it?"

Feng Nan asked in a deep voice.

"The food delivery guy!"

A woman's voice came from outside the door.

Feng Nan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself that she had scared herself, and quickly opened the door.

"Thank you!"

Feng Nan thanked him and accepted the boxed lunch.

"You're welcome!"

Feng Nan closed the door.

I glanced at the boxed lunch.

Four dishes and one bowl of rice, a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.

"The food for the task force is pretty good."

Feng Nan smiled.

Feng Nan opened the lunchbox, ate a few bites, and put down her chopsticks in disappointment.

The food in the boxed lunch looked very tempting, but it tasted a bit strange.

This made Feng Nan lose her desire to eat more.

Not feeling hungry, Feng Nan decided not to eat and continued taking notes.

Half an hour later!
Feng Nan wearily pinched the bridge of her nose.

Yawned.

"Very sleepy."

Feng Nan muttered something to himself and glanced at the notes that were filled with writing.

I stretched, closed my laptop, and prepared to take a nap.

There is still an hour and a half until we meet up.

Feng Nan set her alarm for 1 p.m. and went straight to bed.

Afternoon: 1:00!

Quack, quack, quack——

Feng Nan's alarm clock rang on time.

But Feng Nan, who was lying in bed, did not wake up.

Still fast asleep.

No matter how hard the alarm clock worked, Feng Nan on the bed remained unresponsive.

He didn't even frown.

time flies!
In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Afternoon: 1:30!

It was time to gather.

Feng Nan was still fast asleep on the bed. There was no indication that she was about to wake up.

1: 40!

Feng Nan was still fast asleep.

What's even stranger is that even though she was already ten minutes late, no one came to call Feng Nan.

Even Yueyang didn't come knocking.

They didn't even make a single phone call.

It seems everyone has forgotten about Feng Nan.

14:00 PM!

Half an hour had passed since the meeting time, and Feng Nan was still asleep in bed.

No one came looking for Feng Nan.

Half an hour later!
14: 30!

Feng Nan on the bed frowned.

"hiss……"

"My head hurts..."

Feng Nan groaned and slowly opened her eyes. Instead of feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep, her expression showed even more fatigue.

Rubbing her throbbing head, Feng Nan got out of bed, grabbed her phone from the bedside table, and glanced at the time.

14: 35!

Feng Nan exclaimed in surprise, "You overslept!"

I didn't have time to think about why I had a headache.

Feng Nan dragged her aching body out of bed. As soon as she got out of bed, she felt dizzy and almost fell.

"strangeness?"

Feng Nan frowned.

I held onto the TV cabinet and it took me a while to feel less dizzy.

Feng Nan could clearly sense that something was wrong with her physical condition.

This is not the normal reaction one should have upon waking up.

It's just like……

I was drugged!

Feng Nan was suddenly startled.

He glanced to the side, at the half-eaten boxed lunch, and his expression turned horrified.

"No way?"

"Who's so audacious as to drug the food of a group of criminal investigators?"

"Could it be that Qin Han instructed them to do this?"

"Testing our vigilance?"

"It doesn't make sense..."

Feng Nan was filled with questions.

After frowning and pondering for a moment, Feng Nan carefully sealed the lunchbox packaging and put it in the bedside table drawer. After hiding the lunchbox, Feng Nan sat back on the bed, drank water to speed up her metabolism, and dialed Yueyang's number.

beep-

The phone rang repeatedly, but no one answered.

Feng Nan frowned even more deeply.

Continue making the call.

Under normal circumstances, Yueyang would not ignore her calls.

Feng Nan drank three bottles of water in a row, but Yue Yang still didn't answer the phone.

Unable to drink any more, Feng Nan put down the water bottle, a possibility popping into her mind: "Could it be that Brother Yue has also been infected?"

Feng Nan thought it was very likely.

If the food had been tampered with, it wouldn't be acceptable to only treat her.

It's highly likely that the poisoning was targeted at everyone.

"No, I have to go out and take a look."

Feng Nan stood up, holding her phone.

Perhaps because she had drunk enough water, which neutralized the remaining effects of the medicine in her body, Feng Nan felt much better. Her head was not so dizzy anymore, and her weak and sore body regained some strength.

Feng Nan strode towards the door, but as soon as her hand touched the lock, she froze.

"Is someone trying to open the door from the outside?"

Feng Nan was startled.

She clearly remembered that after picking up the food...

Not only was the security chain installed, but the door was also locked from the inside. The lock is indeed open now, and the security chain has been bent to a crooked position, but the person couldn't pry it open and didn't manage to get in.

"What are you trying to do?"

"Who exactly is this person?"

"It doesn't seem like the work of the Qin and Han dynasties."

"If he wanted to test everyone, drugging them would have been enough; there was no need for him to come in..."
