This was not the first time Chen Ge had heard the name of Linjiang New Schistosomiasis Control Station, but he did not have the time to check it out.
"The time of death was last night as well?" What Chen Ge predicted had happened. The Society of Strange Tales seemed to be obsessed with the number 'three'.
"The coroner deduced that the time of death was between 3 am and 4 am, but the cause of death is still unconfirmed. The victim was a worker at Linjiang New Schistosomiasis Control Station. He returned home at 6 pm yesterday, but he sneaked back to the station at 11: 30 pm. There was no surveillance in the room, so no one knows what happened after that. We only know that he didn't come out after he entered the station.
"The madmen from the Third Sick Hall have a very ritualistic way of killing. Since they chose this worker, it means that he has done something wrong. We can investigate this from that angle."
"We've already investigated. This man is the only one who is innocent. He has no criminal record, and the nearby villagers say that he is a good person. He is honest and has no bad habits."
Captain Yan's words confused Chen Ge. In his impression, the Society of Strange Tales placed a lot of emphasis on ritualism, and they rarely made mistakes.
"Is it possible that the loyalty shown by that staff member was just an act? Perhaps he's actually a twisted person? "
"We haven't investigated further, so we can't come to a conclusion yet, but one thing is for sure — this victim is different from the previous two. His eyes were gouged out, and there was a painting carved on his back. "
"Can I take a look at the painting?" Chen Ge's heart skipped a beat. The key to the case should be the painting.
"We have a rule that all crime scene photos are not to be leaked. If you want to see it, come find me at the station."
Captain Yan did not agree to Chen Ge's request. The reason he told Chen Ge all that was because Chen Ge had interacted with the madmen from the Third Sick Hall before. In a way, other than the police, he was the person who understood them the most.
"Okay, I'll be there in a minute."
After hanging up, Chen Ge sat at the entrance of the Haunted House with the phone in his hand. When I completed the first Nightmare Mission, the mirror monster wanted to kill three people, and the mirror that reflected the blood door showed the corresponding number. Could the Society of Strange Tales's actions be related to the blood door as well?
He took a taxi and rushed to the Linjiang Schistosomiasis Control Station. This was a very remote place, and very few people came here.
After getting out of the car, Chen Ge found the policeman who stayed behind and explained the purpose of his visit.
The other party did not let him enter the crime scene, but led him to a nearby building.
"Captain Yan, Chen Ge is here." Without an introduction, the police officer immediately called out Chen Ge's name.
"You can leave first." Captain Yan signaled for Chen Ge to come over. He placed the pictures that he had prepared on the table. "You can only look at them from here."
Chen Ge's gaze swept through all the photos and finally stopped at a somewhat bloody photo of a back.
The skin on the victim's back had been torn off, and a half-open door had been carved out using the flesh and blood.
Different from the blood door that Chen Ge had seen on the Society of Strange Tales's flyer, there was a girl drawn in the middle of this half-open door.
Half of her head was poking out from the door, and she was smiling happily.
"Did you find anything?" Captain Yan had agreed to let Chen Ge come over because he believed he could get some information from Chen Ge.
"I feel like I've seen this girl somewhere before." Chen Ge was not joking at all. He stared at the gory picture.
"The blood stains haven't even been cleaned up. What can we tell from these simple lines?" Captain Yan had studied every single picture on the table for a long time.
"It's very familiar." Chen Ge picked up the picture on the table. When he slowly moved closer, a sense of familiarity appeared in his mind like he had seen this scene before.
He tried it several times before he finally remembered. "Isn't this Jiang Ling?"
As the picture zoomed in, the girl with the bloody face moved closer. This reminded Chen Ge of the day at the Children's Home, when Jiang Ling had run over to give him the spider.
"The girl who survived the Lin Guan Village poisoning case?" Captain Yan had investigated the Lin Guan Village poisoning case before, so he knew the girl's new name at the Children's Home.
"Yes, that's her." Chen Ge passed the picture to Captain Yan. "Compare the faces of the two children. Even though the drawing isn't very detailed, the outline is the same."
Captain Yan studied the picture for a long time. Initially, he did not think it was Jiang Ling, but after hearing what Chen Ge said, he agreed.
"We've investigated Jiang Ling and her family, and they have no connection to the mental patients at the Third Sick Hall."
"This time, our opponents are a bunch of madmen. They will do anything, and they don't need a reason." Before Captain Yan could stop him, Chen Ge took out his phone to call the nurse. He wanted to confirm whether Fan Yu and Jiang Ling were safe or not.
The picture on the victims' backs was probably a sign that they had locked onto Jiang Ling.
The girl was the only seed from Coffin Village who had wandered outside. Perhaps like Meng Nan, she had once pushed open a door!
The phone rang twice before it was picked up. A rather nervous voice came from the other end. "Mr. Chen? How can I help you? "
"Can you put Fan Yu on the phone? I have something to say to him."
"They're receiving counselling in Doctor Chen's room. If you're not in a hurry, can you wait for a few minutes?"
"As long as they're fine. Have Fan Yu call me later."
Chen Ge put his phone away and looked at the picture on the table. He was considering whether to ambush around Jiujiang's Children's Home that night.
"Captain Yan, I feel like the three murders last night were just a prelude. Most of the mental patients have been captured, and the remaining patients are preparing for their final madness."
"Tonight might be a messy night." Captain Yan's fingers tapped on the table. He then turned to Chen Ge. "Why don't you stay with us tonight?"
"Me?"
"The person those patients want to kill the most is you."
Chen Ge thought about it and felt like Captain Yan had a point. After all, for him, it was just a change of place to sleep.
If he could help capture the other members of the Society of Strange Tales, it would be a win-win situation.
Seeing that Chen Ge had agreed, Captain Yan nodded.
The two talked for another twenty minutes and discussed some details, but at that moment, Chen Ge's phone vibrated. He realized it was the nurse, but he did not mind it and answered it.
"Mr. Chen! Fan Yu and Jiang Ling have disappeared! I saw them in the room this afternoon! " The nurse's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. "I've already notified the director. Everyone is looking for them!"
"They're gone?" Chen Ge's eyes turned serious. "Aren't they with that Doctor Chen? Get him on the phone! "
"Doctor Chen has also disappeared. Everything in the room is arranged neatly, but he's gone!"
