Chapter 0587 – Home
”Fishing for corpses?” Chen Ge’s eyelids fluttered lightly when he saw the mission information on his black cell phone, this trial mission was not quite what he had imagined.
”The mission requires going to Donggang Reservoir alone to salvage the corpse of ‘sister’, this is too difficult, isn’t it?” Going to the reservoir to salvage the body would take a few hours to do even if a professional team did it, and Chen Ge only had one night to do it.
Without the help of other people, without salvage tools and boats, he didn’t even know what the ‘person’ he was going to salvage looked like.
”All sorts of things happened before Wen Wen was born, how old was Wen Wen’s sister at that time? And why was her body sunk into the Donggang Reservoir?” Many questions popped up in the middle of her mind, and the only person who could answer them was Shizuku’s aunt.
Wen’s father also suffered from a genetic disease, and it could be seen that he loved his daughter very much, but he was intellectually deficient and probably had no way of recalling what happened back then, and Wen’s aunt was the only person in their family who had experienced that event and was intellectually normal and could communicate.
”That woman seems to have been avoiding what happened a few years ago, asking directly definitely won’t get us anything, we have to think of a way.” The Twin Life Water Ghost mission was triggered, and according to the convention of the black cell phone, if the mission failed, the scene would never be unlocked, Chen Ge didn’t want to lose this special underwater horror scene.
Silently putting away the black cell phone, Chen Ge turned around with the little girl in his arms, he suddenly realized that everyone’s eyes were focused on him, “What are you all looking at me for?”
”That bone in your backpack is showing.” Xiao Qing coughed dryly and kindly reminded.
Being told by him, Chen Ge hurriedly turned back to look, and the handle of the Cranium Crushing Hammer was exposed from the backpack zipper slit.
This prop hammer gifted by the black cell phone was not this big at first, but probably because it followed Chen Ge and hammered too many severe ghosts and red clothes, it drew something from it, becoming more and more hideous in appearance and increasing in weight and length.
”Don’t be nervous, this is a haunted house prop, I often walk alone at night, and I carry it purely to scare the bad guys.” Chen Ge clumsily explained.
”I just can’t figure out how someone like you could be liked by a child?” Xiao Qing didn’t bother to check Chen Ge’s backpack, he looked at Chen Ge’s sunny and kind expression, his pure and sincere gaze, and Wen Wen who seemed like a little angel in Chen Ge’s arms, all of which contrasted sharply with the hideous vertebrae hammer handle in the backpack.
”Actually, I’m very good with children, many small children are willing to be with me.” Chen Ge thought of Fan Yu, Boo, and Men Nan, all of these children were on good terms with him.
”If you say so.” Xiao Qing and another police officer opened the door of the police car, “The murderer entered the school and abducted the children, this is quite a serious matter, all of you should come with me.”
……
At ten minutes past ten in the evening, Chen Ge walked out of the police station holding the little girl, Wen Wen grabbed the shampoo bottle, she only let Chen Ge hold her, she looked very clingy to Chen Ge.
This situation was not expected by Wen Wen’s aunt, who followed next to Chen Ge, looking at Chen Ge and Wen Wen with complicated eyes.
The three of them were side by side, and those who didn’t know probably thought they were a family of three shopping.
”I did my best to help you cover up when the police questioned you just now.” Walking to a place where no one was around, Chen Ge suddenly stopped, “Actually, the one who injured the teacher of the rehabilitation school was Wen Wen’s sister, there is no child abduction murderer at all, am I right?”
”I don’t know what you’re talking about?”
”I’ve seen Wen’s sister, her body is still sunk in the Donggang Reservoir, she died miserably, full of resentment, wanting to come back ……”
”Stop it!” Wen’s aunt suddenly lost control of her emotions and her voice became shrill, startling passersby in the distance.
”Running away won’t solve anything, maybe she isn’t hurting you guys right now, but that doesn’t mean you’re safe.” He turned his head to stare at Raven’s aunt, “What has happened to this child? Perhaps I can help you all.”
Standing at the edge of the bridge, the woman looked at the river that flowed silently in the night before speaking after a long time, “Do you know the kinds of things? It’s about trading one child’s life for another to grow up healthy, I’m not too sure of the specifics, all I know is that my parents took Wen’s sister away from her when she was about to be born. They left in the wee hours of midnight and came back near dawn.”
”Raven’s sister didn’t come back with them?”
The woman shook her head, “My parents only brought back a small bowl full of impurities, they woke up Raven’s mom and forced her to drink it.”
”Water full of impurities?”
”Yes, it was cloudy and there was blood on the rim of the bowl.”
”And Raven’s mom didn’t resist? Let them have their way?” Chen Ge realized that there was very little about Wen’s mother in that home.
”Her mother used to be from the same village as us, and had been in a car accident and lost her leg. My parents took her in on the condition that she give my brother a healthy child.” The woman’s words trailed off, “The matter of using Wen’s sister as a seed was a private decision by my parents, they didn’t say anything to anyone, and Wen’s mom didn’t even know that the bowl of water she drank had her own child’s blood in it.”
”What happened afterward?” Chen Ge was a bit unable to bear to listen, he didn’t know how to evaluate this family.
”Wen Wen’s sister didn’t come back, so my parents excused themselves and said that the child had been sent to their hometown and asked someone to take care of it for them. Within a few days, Wen was born, the family had been to the hospital before and the baby was a boy, so everyone was happy until the moment before the baby was born.” The woman smiled miserably, “But soon retribution came, the child was born, not only was it a girl, but the head had a slight deformity, as if there was a face growing on the back of the head. The doctors examined the child and found that the child had a genetic disease, my parents couldn’t take the excitement and left the house one rainy night.”
”They didn’t tell Raven’s mother about the first child?”
”My father wasn’t quite right in the head, he was physically deformed and had a short temper, and my mother was physically handicapped in some way, they were usually fed up with the cold stares and ridicule, and lived a very tiring and difficult life, so they didn’t want to let something like that happen again to the next generation. But the end result proved that they were deceived, and all the so-called things were of no use at all. I don’t know where they went after they left that night, I haven’t seen them since that day anyway.” The woman showed a lot of pain at first, but as she spoke she calmed down, as if she was already numb, “My parents and Wen Wen’s sister are gone, her husband is a fool, her second child is also a fool, Wen Wen’s mother couldn’t take the pressure and left with all the money in the house, and that day happened to be my twentieth birthday.”
Chen Ge wanted to comfort the woman, but he didn’t know how to speak.
”Now that I’m almost thirty, I don’t need anyone else’s sympathy or help, I just want Wen Wen to grow up healthy, that’s all.” The woman walked over to Chen Ge and reached out to hug Wen Wen, “Give her to me, I’m taking her home.”
