Chen Ge had guessed that the Society of Strange Tales would make their move, but he did not expect it to be so soon!
"There's something wrong with that Doctor Chen. I saw that name in the old director's letter from the Third Sick Hall, but the letter was sent to Linjiang's New Schistosomiasis Control Station."
There were many doctors with the surname Chen in the world, so when Chen Ge first met Doctor Chen, he did not think about this. After all, the letter was sent to the Schistosomiasis Control Station, and this Doctor Chen worked at a children's home.
"Jiang Ling is missing?" Captain Yan looked at the picture on the table, and he was more curious about Chen Ge. This man was not just an observant person; he felt like Chen Ge had a special talent and instinct, and this was something that Chen Ge probably did not realize himself.
"There are three missing people — Fan Yu, Jiang Ling, and a doctor who took care of them."
"The doctor who took care of them is also a madman from the Third Sick Hall?" Captain Yan found this hard to believe. A patient had become a doctor several years after leaving the hospital.
"We still can't confirm the doctor's identity." After hanging up, Chen Ge forced himself to calm down.
Based on his speculation, of the remaining three members of the Society of Strange Tales, two were mental patients from the Third Sick Hall, and one was someone he had met in real life, and that person was the chairperson!
This was the first time he had met Doctor Chen when he visited Jiujiang's Children's Home, so the chance of him being the chairperson was not high.
"Captain Yan, look into the information of all the employees at the station from five years ago. There might be information about the killer."
The letter from the Third Sick Hall was sent to the station, so the person who wrote the letter to the old director should have worked there.
"Okay, I'll arrange for Ol 'Wei to go with you to Jiujiang's Children's Home. You guys go take a look, and I'll handle the investigation here." Captain Yan took out the walkie-talkie to call Ol 'Wei. When they went to save Gu Feiyu, it was Ol' Wei who drove Chen Ge.
Chen Ge did not reject Captain Yan's kindness. He might have to run around that night, and getting a cab was too much trouble. It was more convenient to stay with Ol 'Wei.
"Captain Yan, you're looking for me?" Ol 'Wei was about to retire. Normally, Captain Yan did not allow him to be on the frontline. He wanted to ensure that he could spend the last few months safely.
"Tonight, you and Chen Ge will move together and protect him."
"Understood!"
When Ol 'Wei and Captain Yan were conversing, Chen Ge was still thinking. There had to be some connection between the Schistosomiasis Control Station, the Society of Strange Tales, and Jiang Ling, but he could not figure it out.
"The Society of Strange Tales chose the last victim at the schistosomiasis control station, and the person who communicated with the Third Sick Hall's old director was here as well. The key question is, what is the connection between the station and the little girl from Coffin Village?" Chen Ge gripped the edge of the table, and veins popped on the back of his hands.
"Chen Ge, don't waste any more time. The two of you must leave immediately." Captain Yan patted Chen Ge on his shoulder. He thought that Chen Ge was worried about Fan Yu and Jiang Ling's safety. "God will help those two. They will be fine."
"I'm thinking about something else." Chen Ge did not move. He suddenly turned to look at Captain Yan. "You told me before that the person who took care of Jiang Ling was found dead inside one of the old homes in Lin Guan Village."
"Yes." Captain Yan had no idea what Chen Ge was getting at.
"The person used his position to buy blood when he was alive!" Chen Ge's eyes lit up. "There has to be a connection between Jiang Ling, the station, and the patients at the Third Sick Hall. It should be related to blood."
"You've misunderstood. The station does not mean that there is human blood." Captain Yan shook his head. "This place's main purpose is to prevent diseases caused by schistosomiasis and other parasitic infections. It can be considered a specialized hospital."
"Then is there another possibility? There's a special parasite that needs human blood to survive here? Or it's not a parasite, but something that needs blood to survive. The patients at the Third Sick Hall need this, and Jiang Ling has it! "
Chen Ge gave his opinion, and both Captain Yan and Ol 'Wei did not know how to react.
Actually, Chen Ge did not say the other half. Jiang Ling was the last seed of Coffin Village. Most of the villagers in that isolated village had physical abnormalities, and the chance of that was much higher than marriage. Chen Ge suspected that the abnormality was caused by this thing.
"Go to the Children's Home first. I'll send people to search the station. I'll inform you if there's any progress." Captain Yan was thinking about what Chen Ge had said, and the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
"Be careful. It's best if you move in groups." Chen Ge was worried. The thing that the Society of Strange Tales wanted might not be a worm with a physical body; it could be a curse or a very special kind of ghost.
It was already dark when they left the station. Ol 'Wei drove Chen Ge to the Children's Home.
When they arrived, the guard and the nurse came to greet them.
"We didn't find them, and the camera didn't catch them. They probably escaped through another door." The guard felt guilty.
"Bring me to the room that Fan Yu and Jiang Ling stayed in."
If it was really the Society of Strange Tales, it was normal that normal people did not notice them.
"Follow me."
The nurse led Chen Ge into the rehabilitation room. The room was brightly lit, and the decoration was warm. Once they entered, they felt much better.
"The two children were playing inside at 4 pm, but when I went to check, they were gone." The nurse stood in the room, and she was panicking.
"Calm down." Chen Ge did not touch anything in the room. He looked around first. "There's no sign of fighting, and everything is arranged normally. The two children probably left voluntarily."
"Could it really be Doctor Chen who led them away? That's impossible! Doctor Chen is a good man. He has cured many children here and given them the courage to live again. "The nurse's voice rose. She did not want to face this.
"It's hard to define a good person and a bad person." Chen Ge walked to the table and saw several strange paintings.
The first painting had two small black people sitting in the middle, and a red person with a long body reached in through the window.
"This should be Fan Yu's work. He's giving me a hint." Chen Ge looked at the painting in his hand. "The black ones are people, and the red ones are ghosts. Looks like the Society of Strange Tales did make a move on Jiang Ling."
He flipped to the second painting. In it, a red woman who looked like a spider was tearing apart the ghost that crawled in through the window. She seemed to be feeding on it.
"Jiang Ling's sister saved them. That makes sense. With Jiang Ling's sister around, unless the Society of Strange Tales goes all out, they won't be able to hurt them."
