Detectives have their own website where they share the strange cases they encounter.
Most cases are very popular among detectives, who eagerly contribute their wisdom to help solve mysteries.
However, there is a type of case that most detectives are reluctant to handle, even forming an unwritten rule within the industry to never mention it.
This refers to cases related to supernatural phenomena. These cases are referred to as "hidden cases" on the website and are sealed away at the bottom, rarely brought to light.
The vampire incident earlier was a relatively easier target that Wen Wen had selected from a pile of hidden cases.
Now, he was looking for another manageable case to enrich his supernatural abilities.
In his rented room, Wen Wen continuously moved the mouse, his eyes quickly scanning.
"Hmm, this place seems quite promising."
...
At ten o'clock in the evening, the moonlight could not penetrate the overcast sky, and the fog of night enveloped the entire city.
From the outside, a faint orange glow emanated from a dormitory room at the end of the second floor of Building No. 2 at Lvyuan Middle School.
The school had already turned off the lights, so students should have been asleep. This particular room should not have been lit.
Inside the dormitory, three students sat around a table playing cards, with a candle placed between them.
"Haha, a bomb! I win!" a slightly chubby student exclaimed, clenching his fist.
A thin, dark-skinned student beside him was startled and quickly covered his mouth.
"Pan Dapeng, speak softer! Do you want to attract that old man?"
Upon hearing the word "old man," the chubby Pan Dapeng immediately fell silent. The dormitory supervisor in this building was a terrifying figure in their eyes, always appearing and disappearing, very stern and uncompromising.
Afterward, the three students deliberately lowered their voices and continued their card game. Despite their fear of the supervisor, the card game had to go on. They were only thirteen or fourteen years old, at an age when playing was a favorite pastime.
Lost in their game, they lost track of time, and it quickly became midnight. They were lucky, as they hadn't been discovered by the supervisor yet.
"Alright, no more playing. We have to get up early for class tomorrow," the thin, dark-skinned student, Li Xiaoliang, yawned and stood up, intending to go to the restroom.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw an old man with a face full of wrinkles standing at the doorway, his face ashen, staring directly at him. His urge to urinate immediately vanished from the shock.
It was none other than the dormitory supervisor of this building!
Li Xiaoliang gave an awkward smile and closed the dormitory door. To his surprise, the supervisor simply watched him close the door, not stopping him, not even blinking his eyes!
He walked back, his face wearing a strange expression, intending to describe the situation outside to his roommates.
However, he found his roommates staring at him with expressions of terror.
"Strange, how did you know the supervisor was outside our dorm?" Li Xiaoliang asked in surprise.
But soon, he realized they weren't afraid of the supervisor.
Two somewhat blackened hands were placed on Li Xiaoliang's shoulders, and a head with no eyeballs emerged from his side, staring at him expressionlessly!
It turned out they were afraid of this figure!
A strange chill and an irresistible fear washed over Li Xiaoliang. Compared to the entity behind him, the supervisor now seemed almost amiable...
...
"Ah... achoo..."
Inside the train station, Wen Wen, carrying a large travel suitcase, couldn't help but sneeze. The air was filled with too many complex smells, and he found it a bit overwhelming.
After acquiring the basic abilities of a vampire, his sense of smell had greatly improved, like a dog's nose, capable of distinguishing all sorts of odors.
He could clearly smell sweat, body odor, and even the smell of stale underwear.
"This is Furong River City, a city with millions of people. It seems I'll need to stay here for a while."
As a large city, Furong River City had many unusual cases. These cases were generally unknown to the public. Wen Wen learned from an insider on the detective website that Furong River City was the city with the most "hidden cases" occurring nearby.
And he intended to solve these cases one by one. After all, capturing monsters was a strict requirement of the Disaster Containment Facility. Only by capturing more monsters could he unlock more abilities within the facility.
Finding a clean hotel to stay in, Wen Wen opened his laptop.
He had solved many difficult and complex cases before, earning a considerable amount of prize money from police departments across various regions, so he was never short of money.
"To be safe, I should try a simpler case first. Let me see..."
After searching for a while, Wen Wen locked onto a case.
'Shocking! Three middle school students playing cards late at night, and a major accident occurred! The reason is actually so simple!'
"Another title like this, looks like it has no substance... but I can't help but click on it..." Su Dan Novel Network
Wen Wen commented as he browsed the case details.
"Hmm, these three middle school students were later rushed to the hospital. One suffered frostbite and a complete mental breakdown. The supervisor stood guard at the door all night and his legs were almost useless from standing, so he's also recuperating in the hospital..."
Wen Wen stroked his chin and murmured, "This really does seem like a supernatural case, and it doesn't appear to be very dangerous. No ordinary people died, so I shouldn't be in any trouble at my current level."
Then, Wen Wen searched for more information related to this case online, but found nothing, which further confirmed his thoughts.
Generally, true supernatural cases cannot be found on public platforms for ordinary people. Those strange events that are widely discussed online are either too big to be concealed or are staged by people pretending to be supernatural. They hold no meaning for Wen Wen.
The fact that this case couldn't be found online further indicated that it was the type he was interested in.
Subsequently, Wen Wen called a friend in the police department to obtain some internal information. After reviewing it, he made up his mind.
"Excellent, this will be Detective Wen's first 'hidden case' handled... perhaps the second, whatever."
...
At noon the next day, the doorbell rang at Pan Dapeng's house.
A middle-aged woman wearing a cashmere sweater, looking haggard, opened the door. She paused when she saw the person standing outside.
"May I ask what you need?"
"Hello, I am an insurance verifier from the Federal Flower Bud Insurance Company. I heard that your son was frightened in the school dormitory a few days ago, and I'm here to discuss the specifics of the insurance claim."
Wen Wen, dressed in an inexpensive black suit and wearing black-rimmed glasses, spoke politely, holding a briefcase.
