Chapter 0586 – Salvaging Alone
”Two days ago, why do I remember like it was yesterday?” Xiao Qing looked at Chen Ge, who had his hands raised above his head with an innocent face, and also had a bit of a headache, he didn’t even know how to report this matter to the captain.
”Was it yesterday? It doesn’t matter, as you can see, I was tracking down the murderer of the child trafficking case.”
”Tracking down the killer, so you broke into a house and burst a water pipe with a hammer? Can you tell me what’s the inevitable connection between these?” Xiao Qing and the other police officer next to him relaxed their guard after seeing Chen Ge, they were clear that Chen Ge was not a madman, even if his way of thinking differed somewhat from that of a normal person, then he still belonged to the chaotic justice camp.
”It’s hard for me to explain this matter to you guys, if Yan team from the city precinct is here, he should be able to understand.” Chen Ge first brought out Team Yan as a shield, then his tone changed, changing from his previous toughness, “But it’s definitely wrong to break something in someone else’s house, I’ll compensate according to the original price.”
He revealed an apologetic smile towards the obese middle-aged man, looking at the other party in a daze, the person in front of him had changed too much compared to just now.
The other few people present had no way to understand Chen Ge’s mood at this time, only a few hundred dollars could be exchanged for a water ghost, this business was a sure thing.
After communicating with the obese middle-aged man, Chen Ge was brought downstairs by two police officers.
”You just said you were tracking down the murderer of the child trafficking case?” Qing was determined to work on big cases, but unfortunately, their captain always didn’t let him go to the front line with the group, and always put him in charge of some ordinary cases, which made him a bit upset.
”Yeah, that rehabilitation school next to the neighborhood lost a child today, after I investigated, I found out that there were other people present in the compound besides the teachers and students, and after tracking them all the way, the trail finally broke off in this building.” Chen Ge naturally wouldn’t tell the police about the existence of the water ghost, and casually made up a reason, trying to put it off.
”Has the child been found?”
”Found it, but the kid suffers from a genetic disease and has intellectual deficiencies, plus he’s been in some shock, so I guess I can’t ask anything.” Chen Ge carried his bag and walked between the two policemen: “You seem to be very interested in this case?”
”I’m more interested in you than the case.” Qing asked for Chen Ge’s phone number, he felt that if he followed Chen Ge, he wouldn’t worry about not solving any big cases in the future.
Back at the rehabilitation school, Chen Ge happened to see two teachers being picked up by an ambulance.
They were found in the toilet cubicle, both of them had wet clothes and distorted faces, as if they had seen something very scary.
What’s even stranger is that the doctor examined their bodies and found that there was a lot of water in their lungs and throats, and he didn’t know what had happened to them before they went into a coma.
Wen’s aunt was also at the school, the female principal and another female teacher were apologizing to her, the school was definitely responsible for the mixing of bad people in the school.
”This female teacher and the little girl’s aunt can both prove that I am a good person.” Chen Ge naturally stood with them, putting herself in the position of the victim’s family.
The police asked about what happened, and the female teacher with glasses testified for Chen Ge, saying that there were indeed other people present in the school at the time, and that it was Chen Ge who broke the window and saved her and the little girl.
But surprisingly, when the police were about to question Wen’s aunt, the woman acted extremely uncooperative, she kept scratching her wrists and the backs of her hands with her fingernails, as if the slight pain could help her overcome her fear and calm her down.
”What are you afraid of? Revenge from the murderer? We police are right here, and I assure you that the culprit will be brought to justice.” Xiao Qing didn’t understand the situation at all, and after he had comforted Wen Wen’s aunt, he walked over to the little girl again.
This child didn’t cry, didn’t say a word, stood alone in the shadows by the wall, no matter who went to hug her, she would attack that person like crazy.
”Comrade police, please, we don’t want to investigate this any further.” After half a day, Wen’s aunt voluntarily gave up on tracking down the murderer, her face was pale and she kept looking back into the depths of the rehabilitation school, as if there were man-eating devils hiding in that gloomy long corridor.
”You’re just willing to watch the culprit who hurt the child go free?” Qing was very puzzled by Aunt Wen’s approach, “If we don’t catch the culprit, he might attack other children in the future, it’s not something you’re alone in, so please cooperate with our investigation.”
”No need, really no need! Shizuku, let’s go.” Wen’s aunt said as she went to take the little girl’s hand, but to everyone’s surprise, the little girl was like a frightened wildcat, her hands flailing and her nails digging streaks of blood into the woman’s arm.
Unwilling to let anyone get close, she cowered in the shadows, her originally cute face turning into a scowl, her eyes dancing and her chest heaving, she was so insecure right now.
”Raven? I’m Auntie!” The woman still wanted to go over, but was stopped by the police.
”Is this child sick? Do you have medicine on you?” Qing felt that this case wasn’t as simple as it appeared, he smelled a hint of something unusual.
”The medicine is at home, I’ll take her back now!” Wen’s aunt wanted to forcibly take the little girl, but how could the police release her before asking questions. Seeing that both sides were about to lose control of their emotions, Chen Ge removed his backpack and walked over.
He walked around Xiao Qing and Wen Wen’s aunt and took out a bottle of shampoo from his backpack.
”What are you doing?” This bizarre move caught the attention of the teacher and another police officer.
Chen Ge didn’t bother with them, squatting a meter away from the little girl, he whispered at the child, “Your sister is in the bottle, no one is hurting her, I know that she must have had a hard time doing all those things, she’s just as kind as you are, you guys are actually the victims.”
Holding the shampoo bottle, Chen Ge slowly approached the girl, “You are both born as one, there should be a special connection between you and her, try to call out to her, you can get a response from her.”
The little girl half-heartedly raised her hand and touched the end of the shampoo bottle, Chen Ge didn’t know if the girl had sensed her sister’s presence or not, he just saw the girl slowly calming down.
”No matter what happens, I will help you, stand in your shoes and help you.” Chen Ge gently picked the little girl up, “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
Wenwen’s expression returned to normal, her small hands grasping the end of the shampoo bottle, she seemed to be afraid of meeting strangers, her head buried in Chen Ge’s shoulder.
As Chen Ge picked up Wen Wen, the black cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
Chen Ge casually took the phone out, swiped the screen, and tapped on the message.
”Different choices, the results will be completely different, the special visitors have left, during this time you made your own choices, congratulations on lowering the hostility of the twin water ghosts.”
”Two star trial quest – Twin-born Water Ghost triggered!”
”Please arrive at the Donggang Reservoir in the eastern suburb before midnight this evening! Mission requirement: salvage the body of ‘Sister’ alone!”
