I'm full of rebellion against fate

Chapter 243 Punishment for Failure

Watching his car being taken for repair, Chang Ningchen was disheartened that he still couldn't keep his car! Dongfang He comforted him and said, "If the old one doesn't go, the new one will come. Let's see if the original owner has enough money to buy a new one!"

Chang Ningchen's face darkened. The original owner's money didn't come from the wind! Then he took the bus to Zhao's house.

After so many years, the Zhao family didn't want to face what happened back then. When Chang Ningchen came to question him, he didn't want to cooperate. Zhao Wenwu said, "We have already told the police everything we can about what happened back then. After so many years, I can't remember many details. I'm sorry about what happened to Chen Ji's family, but we have all started a new life. Please don't disturb us anymore."

Zhao Wenwu didn't want to talk about this matter for many years. When he saw Chang Ningchen say that he was a policeman, he was particularly resistant and didn't even let him in.

Chang Ningchen was a little annoyed, but he really had no evidence, and he couldn't force his way into someone else's house to search. Was the matter just going to come to a standstill?

Dongfang He pointed to the glass factory in Town B and said, "Back then, Zhao Wenwu and Chen Ji were both employees of the glass factory. The furnaces in the glass factory had to run 24 hours a day without stopping. Glass production requires melting raw materials at high temperatures, usually reaching 1550-1600 degrees Celsius. Only at these temperatures can silica be completely melted. Once the furnace stops heating, the liquid glass will quickly solidify, causing the equipment to become clogged. Cleaning up this solidified glass requires a lot of time and resources.

而熔炉温度要达到1550-1600摄氏度，而火葬场焚烧炉的温度通常在800c至1000c之间?。火化炉的最高温度可以达到1200c以上，这种高温可以将尸体完全烧毁。?”

Chang Ningchen was shocked. If there was a conflict between Chen Ji and Zhao Wenwu, the furnace in the glass factory would be the best tool to deal with it. Unfortunately, so many years have passed and even if the fire in the glass factory was stopped, nothing could be found.

Even if we could guess where they were buried, the fire that had been burning for more than 20 years would leave no evidence.

Without any new clues, Chang Ningchen walked in Town B for a long time. He didn't know what the family experienced that night 20 years ago. Sometimes Chang Ningchen also felt the insignificance of his own abilities and the helplessness of this world.

"Ding! Main quest: The missing family! Mission failed: 500 points deducted!"

Huh?! Chang Ningchen jumped up when he heard the system prompt. He had completed so many side quests, but all of them were deducted for failing the main quest, and he still owed 200 points?!

The abuse system immediately intervened to appease him: "Dear! Don't get excited! This mission is inherently difficult. Just deducting 500 abuse points is already great. Otherwise, there's also a penalty for mission failure: an encounter with a perverted serial killer! Are you willing to accept it?"

Chang Ningchen, who was furious, put his hands on his hips and said, "Then come on! I'll see if I can't beat him to death!"

"Ding! Main quest failed: 100 points deducted. Failure penalty: encounter with a perverted serial killer!"

Huh?! I was just saying that! Chang Ningchen was panicking inside, but he managed to hold himself together on the surface!

Dongfang He saw Chang Ningchen's trembling legs and asked, "Achen, do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Chang Ningchen replied in a trembling voice: "No! Hold on to me, I might run into a perverted serial killer later!"

Dongfang He comforted him and said, "Even if this unsolved case can't be solved, maybe someone in the future will be able to solve it. Don't blame yourself so much and relax! Otherwise, you can lean on my shoulder and cry for a while!"

Chang Ningchen's face was red, but he was observing all the way. However, he didn't see any suspicious people after a week. Chang Ningchen, who was a little depressed, told Dongfang He about the failure of his mission.

Dongfang He hugged the person and said, "Maybe you have encountered this yourself. After all, even a perverted serial killer wouldn't write the words 'I am the murderer' on his forehead!"

Chang Ningchen immediately felt that it made sense! So he thought that this person must have encountered it before, but he just didn't know it!

In the following days, Chang Ningchen and Dongfang He took the bus to and from work together. He had to work overtime every night and go home to sleep in the morning, so his day and night were reversed.

There is no way that bad guys come out more often at night, and if they want to catch someone, they will definitely act at night. When the criminals are still dreaming, the righteous police officers will personally come to their homes to wake up their sleeping souls.

Because Chang Ningchen left home too early to catch the last bus, sometimes he had to take a taxi to go home. One night, when Chang Ningchen was going home from get off work and was hungry, he went to a nearby stall for a midnight snack. Dongfang He had been acting very strangely recently, always being a mysterious and elusive presence.

It feels like he is a lazy old hand in the bureau, always disappearing when he turns his head, but he will appear from the toilet, door or balcony at the appropriate time.

Chang Ningchen, who was a little tired, walked back after having his midnight snack. The street lights were broken on the way back. He always felt as if someone was following him, but when he turned around, there was no one behind him.

Dongfang He said vigilantly: "Achen, remember to lock the door when you go home."

Chang Ningchen said tiredly, "Aren't you still at the back? Lock the door."

Dongfang He said embarrassedly: "You lock it, I'll go to the bathroom first!"

Chang Ningchen was very unhappy and wanted to lock the door, but before his hand touched the door handle, the door was opened and a young man met Chang Ningchen.

Chang Ningchen asked curiously, "Who are you?"

The man said embarrassedly, "Sorry, I entered the wrong door..." But the next second, the man took advantage of Chang Ningchen's unpreparedness and knocked him down with a punch!

Chang Ningchen was punched but quickly realized the man's ill intentions and kicked him in the leg! After seeing the man fall, he took the opportunity to pull out his phone, call the police, and ran into the room!

The man also knew that if he let Chang Ningchen run away, he would be in trouble. He hugged Chang Ningchen's feet and made him lose balance and fall to the ground, then tried to snatch the mobile phone from Chang Ningchen's hand.

"Ah!" Why didn't that bastard Dongfang He come out to help?! Chang Ningchen found that this man was very strong and he couldn't grab him for a while. Fortunately, he was not alone!

When the man heard Chang Ningchen calling for help, he smiled, snatched the phone and smashed it, saying, "Don't bluff. Don't think I don't know that you've always lived alone!"

Huh?! Chang Ningchen looked at the closed toilet door, but he found that the light in the toilet seemed to be off.

The man took advantage of Chang Ningchen's daze and tied his hands and feet with a rope.

Chang Ningchen, feeling that something was wrong, angrily asked the man, "Who are you? Do we have a grudge against each other?!"

The man pinched Chang Ningchen's face and said, "I hate ducks like you the most! You only know how to sell your body to deceive men!"

Chang Ningchen was furious when he heard the man's words. Even though he was gay, that didn't mean he was a duck, right?!
