I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 238 Partner

"Hello, my name is Shang Wuhe and I'm a member of the Weird Case Team. Your superiors have transferred you to the Weird Case Team. We will be new colleagues from now on."

Shang Wuhe introduced himself to Chang Ningchen. Chang Ningchen was a little confused when he looked at his new colleague.

Seeing his new colleague's clumsy look, Shang Wuhe asked, "Where are your family members? I've been here several times and only saw you alone."

Chang Ningchen replied very calmly: "I am the only one at home."

Shang Wuhe's eyes lit up when he heard Chang Ningchen's answer. He said a little embarrassedly, "Oh, I've just been transferred to this city and don't have a place to live yet. Now that you're injured, it's dangerous for you to live alone. Can I come and help take care of you?"

Chang Ningchen thought about it and felt that the place he lived in was quite big, so he nodded in agreement.

The next day, Chang Ningchen was discharged from the hospital. His car crashed into a truck, but because he had downshifted and braked, the collision was not particularly serious. It was mainly because the airbag on the driver's seat popped out and knocked Chang Ningchen unconscious. In addition, he did not sleep well that day and was unconscious for two days.

Everyone thought that Chang Ningchen was too tired from work and accidentally stepped on the accelerator and rushed out. Fortunately, he reacted and took measures to avoid a big mistake.

The higher-ups felt that although it was not Chang Ningchen's fault, the danger was caused by his fatigue driving, so they transferred him from his post to the strange case team as a punishment.

Wei Chen's friend drove his car to have it repaired. Shang Wuhe didn't know how to drive, so he sat in the passenger seat. The two chatted about random things along the way and soon arrived at Chang Ningchen's residence.

It was a neither-big-nor-small single apartment, about 60 square meters, with two rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and a balcony. It was small but complete.

Chang Ningchen was quite satisfied with Wei Chen's house. The house was not too messy, simple and clean. If Chang Ningchen had his own house, it would probably look like this.

Shang Wuhe looked at the small apartment, which was obviously the style most favored by single men and women. He asked, "Don't you have a girlfriend?"

Chang Ningchen packed his things and said, "No, you don't look young anymore. You don't chat on the phone with your girlfriend every night, do you?" He didn't want to eat dog food!

Shang Wuhe shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I don't have a girlfriend either."

Chang Ningchen opened the guest room door, but found that it was filled with things and had become a warehouse. It seemed that Wei Chen didn't have many friends and there were no guest rooms left for people to stay overnight.

Shang Wuhe looked at the crowded room and said, "I can just sleep on the sofa."

Chang Ningchen thought that the sofa was big enough for one person to sleep on, so he nodded and went to the kitchen to cook. After making a few simple dishes, the two of them started to eat dinner.

Shang Wuhe tasted the food, then he looked at Chang Ningchen with a somewhat conflicted expression, causing Chang Ningchen to taste the dishes he had cooked carefully. He wondered if his dishes were too bland or too salty?

Shang Wuhe remained silent until Chang Ningchen came out of the shower. He then ran out half-naked to the kitchen to get a drink.

Shang Wuhe said helplessly, "Can't you just take a shower and get dressed? I don't know how many times I've said this!"

Shang Wuhe's words startled Chang Ningchen. He suddenly looked at Shang Wuhe and asked, "Dongfang He?"

Shang Wuhe looked left and right but didn't dare to look at Chang Ningchen, which meant that Dongfang He must be hiding something from him!

So Chang Ningchen grabbed him and asked, "You guessed it was me, why didn't you just say it directly? Are you hiding something from me?!"

Dongfang He immediately shook his head and said, "No, no! It's just that Shang Wuhe has no money, no house, and no car. I'm afraid you'll dislike him."

Chang Ningchen was very unhappy. Did Dongfang He really think he was a snob? He said, "Even if I were to support you, I wouldn't despise you."

Dongfang He nodded very touchedly, then hugged Chang Ningchen and kissed him. Chang Ningchen blushed and was taken back to the bedroom by the man.

Wait, I've already started supporting you, so why am I the one being eaten?! Chang Ningchen wanted to resist, but he had just been discharged from the hospital and wasn't in good health, so he surrendered in no time.

The next day, Chang Ningchen reported to the Strange Case Team. Most of the people in this team were veteran police officers. It was called the Strange Case Investigation Team, but in fact it was the archives of old cases, the retirement department for veteran police officers, and the exile area for careless police officers.

Many of the cases here became unsolved cases because the technology was not mature at the time, there were too few clues or the source of the bodies was unknown. These cases are tracked by responsible police officers, but the police officers also have other work to deal with on a daily basis, and many of them progress very slowly due to the lack of clues.

The police officers transferred here become the best people to help find clues and sort out cases. Although they were transferred from their original positions because of mistakes, they will definitely not be idle. In this way, someone will do these more troublesome and time-consuming tasks!

Chang Ningchen was given a very old case by his superiors, which was about the disappearance of a family of three. The case happened twenty years ago. The family was a wealthy family named Chen Ji. They lived in Town B and were religious.

That Christmas, the Chen family drove to the home of another friend named Zhao, Zhao Wenwu, to celebrate the holiday together. They drove back in the early morning of the next day, but encountered heavy fog on the road. From then on, the Chen family disappeared in the fog.

The report was made by Chen's family. They said that when the neighbors went out the next day, they did not see the Chen family come out, and they also did not see anyone at Da Chen's workplace, so the neighbors helped contact the family.

The family immediately called the police, but the police thought that they might have gone on vacation. After all, many people went out to play at the end of the year, and contact information was not so convenient at that time. So the police station just registered and asked them to go back and wait.

Zhao Wenwu's family said that Chen Ji's family went home at one o'clock in the morning. They had to go back to the glass factory to work the next day. He was also wondering why Chen Ji didn't come to work.

But later, when school started and the family members did not return, the police began to take it seriously. However, more than half a month had passed since they disappeared.

According to the investigation records of that year, the family's belongings were all in order, the doors and windows were locked, and there were some food in the kitchen refrigerator. They did not look like they were in danger at home or intended to leave.

So something might have happened on their way home, but there hadn't been any serious traffic accidents in Town B in those months, and the Chen and Zhao families weren't far from each other, only a twenty-minute drive away. However, they had to cross a bridge on the way home, and the police officers who were investigating at the time speculated that the male owner of the Chen family might have fallen into the river while driving drunk.

But that year the police sent many people into the river to fish, but still found nothing. The family disappeared without a trace that night.

Looking at the case file, Chang Ningchen was also full of questions. Has this family never come out again in all these years?

Dongfang He moved a stool and sat next to Chang Ningchen to look at the case file with him, then said, "I'll be your partner. Let's go to the scene and take a look! Maybe we can find out something."
