Chapter 0372: If Beauty is a Sin
Han Bao’er suffered from body deformity phobia and couldn’t tolerate the slightest bit of deformity on her body, but at this moment, those baby handprints kept surfacing on her body like a patch of birthmarks.
She desperately scratched, hissed in pain, and hysterically tried to dig the baby handprints off.
Unfortunately, those baby handprints didn’t disappear until she passed out.
Blood slid down her flawless skin, and the scaly Han Bao’er collapsed in the center of the room, looking a little scary as she was covered in wounds.
After Han Bao’er fainted, Li Zheng, who had been mesmerized by her with the little ghost, also fainted after her.
At the same time, the black cell phone gently vibrated, but Chen Ge didn’t bother to look at it for the time being, he wanted to take care of the other person present before the police came.
Qiu Mang, whose arms were hammered off, seemed to be a lamb to be slaughtered, his strength was much greater than Chen Ge’s, but in terms of actual combat experience, he was far inferior to Chen Ge.
”Do you have anything else to say?” Chen Ge looked at Qiu Mang with a bit of a headache, if only Zhang Ya was there, he could take out Qiu Mang’s soul silently and without worrying about exposing his cards.
With the big picture settled, Qiu Mang collapsed to the ground and looked at Han Bao’er in the distance with complicated eyes.
”The one who was hurt first was her, if you know her previous experiences, you will definitely agree with every word she said.”
”Then tell me, what exactly did she go through before?” Chen Ge was still curious about Han Bao’er as a person.
”She grew up following her own mother, and she was like one of those little ghosts lying on the ground, clinging to that vicious woman.”
”She was a living, breathing human being, but others other than her always treated her as a commodity.”
”Beauty became a sin, it was indescribable despair, the fault was with the world, she was merely desperate and trying to fight back.”
Footsteps sounded outside the corridor, the police were arriving.
Chen Ge no longer delayed, he tried to communicate with Xu Yin, asking if there was any method that could make Qiu Mang forget about the events of this night while preserving his life.
Xu Yin obviously misunderstood Chen Ge’s meaning, her hands pressed down on Qiu Mang’s head, the wounds on her arms split open, and bright red blood penetrated into Qiu Mang’s body.
The eyes were densely bloodied and red, just as Chen Ge was worried that Qiu Mang’s eyes were about to burst, his eyes lost color and he fainted.
Xu Yin seemed to have plundered away a certain thing from Qiu Mang’s mind, and his missing heart area gained a lighter shade of blood.
”The key to becoming a Redcoat has something to do with living people still? What exactly is missing from Xu Yin’s heart there?”
The security door was slammed, and Chen Ge knew in his heart that the police had arrived.
He put away all the ghosts and monsters, picked a comfortable position to “pass out” on the ground, and began to ponder in his mind how to deal with the next interrogation.
”Quick! Someone’s been injured! Call an ambulance!”
The police’s voices rang in his ears, Chen Ge felt his body being moved, he squinted his eyes and looked at it, a group of police officers from the city precinct’s criminal investigation team had all rushed over, which gave him a sense of security that he hadn’t felt in a long time.
Han Bao’er and Qiu Mang had all fainted, and Li Zheng didn’t know when he would wake up, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Ge also decisively began to pretend to be dizzy.
Having not rested properly for several consecutive days, Chen Ge fell asleep directly after being sent to the ambulance.
Entering the hospital, the doctor checked his and Li Zheng’s bodies and found that there was no abnormality in the two of them, instead, Han Bao’er and Qiu Mang were sent to the emergency room.
Lying on the bed, Chen Ge also didn’t forget to secretly set an alarm clock for himself, which led to a deep sleep.
At seven in the morning, the alarm clock went off, Chen Ge stretched, he hadn’t slept so comfortably in a long time.
Lifting the covers and looking towards the sides, Li Zheng had already left, he was the only one in the ward.
”Li Zheng was mesmerized by Han Bao’er last night, he shouldn’t be aware of what happened behind him.” Chen Ge stood up and checked his backpack on the nightstand, the repeater and comic book were there, but the skull crushing hammer was gone.
He scrambled to get dressed and carried his bag out of the hospital room.
”You’re awake?” The one who guarded the door of the ward was none other than Old Wei who had accompanied him to the Living Coffin Village, “The identity of the murderer has been determined, Li Zheng has put the credit on you alone, and I’m afraid you’ll be on TV again in a few days.”
”The credit is all on me?” Chen Ge revealed a smile, “How embarrassing then, please ask, is there a bounty on this case?”
”You are at least a boss yourself, thinking about the bounty every day, can honor be measured in money?” Old Wei felt that Chen Ge’s thoughts were problematic, “Come with me, Team Yan and the others are downstairs there in the intensive care ward, it just so happens that he has something to look for you as well.”
Chen Ge followed Old Wei downstairs and saw from afar that there were police guards outside a certain ward.
After asking for permission, Old Wei let Chen Ge go in alone.
The atmosphere was a bit off, but in broad daylight, Chen Ge didn’t think he would encounter any danger.
Pushing the door, there was only one bed in the hospital room, Qiu Mang was lying on the bed with a ventilator, the doctor was beside him explaining the situation to Yan team, they had tried their best, but there was still no way to wake up Qiu Mang.
Seeing Chen Ge come in, Yan team first let the doctor out, then closed the door of the ward.
”Team Yan, Old Wei said you were looking for me?” Chen Ge swept a glance at Qiu Mang on the hospital bed, his head, arms and one leg were all wrapped in gauze and plaster, looking very miserable.
”This thing is yours, right?” Team Yan dragged out a horribly hideous-looking sledgehammer from a nearby cabinet with both hands, with a seal still attached to the head.
”It may look scary, but it’s actually just a small prop in my haunted house.”
”A small prop?” Team Yan exerted both hands before holding the hammer handle steady, “We identified the injuries on Qiu Mang’s body, torn muscles, multiple comminuted fractures, without timely treatment, he’ll have to live the rest of his life in bed.”
”He was the one who moved first, you can ask Li Zheng about this, I merely acted in self-defense.” Chen Ge looked like he was not afraid of a crooked shadow, looking at Yan team was also helpless.
”I know you didn’t do anything wrong, but there are times when I wish you would take a more sensible approach, such as calling me immediately when you have a clue and waiting for us to go over for support.” Team Yan tore off the seal on the skull crushing hammer, “Now that the accomplices and the main culprit are all seriously injured, none of the evidence can be taken, and if it’s used by someone with an axe to grind, it’ll have a bad effect on you.”
He returned the skull crushing hammer to Chen Ge and whispered again, “Put it in your backpack and don’t let anyone find it again when you go out, this thing of yours belongs to controlled items no matter which way you look at it, so it’s best to take it outside less in the future.”
”Understood.”
”Alright, you go find Lao Wei and Li Zheng, that side still needs your cooperation to make a statement.”
After coming out of the hospital room, Chen Ge recalled every word that Team Yan had said, and he really couldn’t connect Team Yan with the president of the Weird Talk Association.
”Perhaps, I guessed wrong.”
