Chapter 0308.
”There’s still time to draw, it seems that the two children weren’t injured, they should have sensed the danger and left of their own accord.” Chen Ge had never treated Fan Yu and Jiang Ling as ordinary children.
”What are you looking at?” Old Wei and the nurse also came over, and they both saw the words on the painting, “Going home? What does this child mean?”
”Before becoming orphans, they also have their own homes.” When he saw the word home, Chen Ge’s first thought was of Lin Guan Village, where Jiang Ling grew up, “You report the situation here to Team Yan, in addition, we may have to go to a very remote place tonight.”
”Good.”
After explaining the situation, Chen Ge looked at the fourth painting pressed at the bottom, which was a broken house outlined with black lines, with a coffin-like object erected on the left side of the house.
”The third drawing is into a door, and this last drawing is a house, is Fan Yu telling me where the ‘door’ is?”
He folded the last drawing and put it into his pocket, according to his guess, the ‘door’ that Fan Yu and Jiang Ling entered was most likely hidden in this old mansion with a coffin erected next to it.
”I entered the Lin Guan Village last time, and I didn’t see any family put the coffin outside the door, this house that Fan Yu drew is likely to be in the village of living coffins deep in the mountains.”
The person had already disappeared, the only way to verify this speculation was to personally visit the Lin Guan Village, Chen Ge took a deep breath, “We must find them as soon as possible, once we enter the world behind the door, it will be difficult to come out again!”
”Mr. Chen, nothing will happen to Jiang Ling and the others, right?” The female nurse had a worried look on her face.
Chen Ge glanced at the female nurse and put down the painting in his hand, there was still a question in his mind – none of Fan Yu’s four paintings mentioned Dr. Chen!
What role did he play in this disappearance case?
If Dr. Chen was a member of the Weird Tales Society, then why was the monster with the long, thin body in Fan Yu’s painting sticking in through the window, not out of Dr. Chen’s back?
With Chen Ge’s knowledge of the Weird Tales Association, after a ghost or monster parasitized on the body was torn apart, the parasitized person would have their memory impaired and fall into a coma, but there was no sign of Dr. Chen at the scene.
”This guy is not simple, we need to pay more attention to it.”
Comforting the female nurse, Chen Ge and Lao Wei left the Jiujiang Orphanage.
”I’ve already reported the situation here to Team Yan, where are we going now?”
”Go back to New Century Paradise first, I’m going to get some tools.” The Weird Tales Association had been reduced by three-quarters in a week, and was now doggedly determined to fight to the death, so Chen Ge naturally wouldn’t be careless.
Old Wei didn’t ask in detail, the order Team Yan gave him tonight was only to protect Chen Ge.
When he arrived at New Century Land, Chen Ge hoofed it into the haunted house, stuffed the skull-crushing hammer, repeater, pen fairy, and tiny all into his backpack, and then took the comic book to the middle of the Xicheng Private College scene, using Yan Dainian’s ability to fit the boy who reeked of stench and the student who stood and hung himself into the painting.
”If Zhang Ya was there, we wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble.” Chen Ge looked at the bulging backpack and was also a bit helpless, “Still very insecure!”
His gaze swept over to the white cat lying on the table and biting its tail, and thought about picking it up as well, “There seems to be a saying in the countryside that corpses are afraid of cats.”
Under the white cat’s uncertain gaze, Chen Ge put it into another carry bag, “Raise a cat for a thousand days, use it for a while, please do it tonight.”
Without waiting for the white cat to react, Chen Ge rushed out of the House of Horrors with the two large bags.
Only after returning to the police car did Chen Ge open the package containing the white cat, “Old Wei, drive, let’s go to Lin Guan Village at the junction of the western suburb and the mountainous area.”
Watching Chen Ge carrying the two large packages into the car, Old Wei’s face was odd, feeling that Chen Ge was making a bit of a fuss.
After all, from an ordinary person’s point of view, compared to searching for a missing child and tracking down the murderer of the eye gouge on the front line, it was obvious that tracking down the murderer was a bit more dangerous.
”What are you packing here? Why do I still hear cats purring?” Old Wei started the car, he had tracked down the poisoning case with Team Yan and knew the location of that village.
”This cat of mine can ward off evil spirits.”
”OK.”
……
More than ten o’clock in the evening, Lao Wei brought Chen Ge to Lin Guan Village, as soon as he got off the car, Chen Ge ran into the middle of the village with his bag on his back, and a white cat followed behind him.
”Wait for me!” Old Wei parked the car and when he looked out, the person was already gone.
Chen Ge took out Fan Yu’s painting and compared the buildings in the village one by one.
There was a highway outside Lin Guan Village, but unfortunately it was only a facade project, and the road broke just after it was built into the village.
The surrounding buildings had also become dilapidated, with large locks hanging on the doors of the homes, looking deserted for a long time.
”It’s only a little after ten o’clock and the village is completely dark.”
Just like the last time he came, Chen Ge did not see a single living person in the village.
”Don’t trespass, it’s easy to cause people to misunderstand.” Old Wei could not allow himself to see Chen Ge and ran over in a hurry, dragging him to the outskirts of the village.
”Then what do you say?”
”Find someone to ask first.” Lao Wei knocked on the door of a villager’s house, and the man had a bad attitude at first, but after Lao Wei flashed his papers and his voice became stern, he obediently turned on the lights in the house and invited Chen Ge and Lao Wei into his home.
”Did you see a middle-aged man around thirty years old leading two children into Lin Guan Village today?” Old Wei opened the door and directly interrogated.
”Kidnapping and selling children?” The owner of the house was an honest cropper.
”Just answer whatever you’re asked.”
”Didn’t see it, we rarely have outsiders come here.”
While the two were talking, Chen Ge casually looked around the house, there was an offering table in the inner room, and on the table was a black and white photo of an old lady.
Other than that, there was nothing out of the ordinary, it was just a very ordinary residential house.
”Take a look at this painting, are there any similar buildings in your village?” Chen Ge placed Fan Yu’s painting in front of the house owner.
He scratched his head, “What can you tell from this? Is that a cabinet next to the house?”
”That’s a coffin.” As soon as Chen Ge spoke, the other two people in the house stopped talking.
”Who would stand a coffin at the door, this is really unseen.” The master of the house looked at Chen Ge, he couldn’t tell, he just felt that the man in front of him was a bit scary.
”Let me ask you another question, do you know the Coffin Village deep in the mountains?”
When Chen Ge said the three words Coffin Village, the cropper’s eyelids jumped and he hurriedly picked up a glass of water to cover his panic: “Why are you guys asking this? That village had a plague, and those who didn’t escape died, we don’t even mention that name here for fear of catching bad luck.”
”It seems that you are clear about the existence of this village, then do you know where this village is?” Chen Ge’s voice was calm, and his gaze was a bit frightening, “I want to go over and take a look now.”
