This was the first time that Chen Ge had heard this woman's voice. The person should be around the same age as Gao Ru Xue. There was a trace of impatience and resentment in her voice.
"I'm Gao Ru Xue's friend. I want to ask her out for dinner tonight," Chen Ge said casually. "Where is she?"
"She went to wash her hair. I'll have her call you later."
"Okay."
After the call ended, Chen Ge sat on the bed in the breakroom with his backpack. If this was a normal date, Gao Ru Xue wouldn't mind washing her hair or showering, but she's clearly in a state of panic. The reason she asked me out was to solve the problem of her roommate. In a situation like this, with her personality, she wouldn't purposely dress up.
Chen Ge felt like something had happened to Gao Ru Xue.
Five minutes later, Gao Ru Xue called. He picked it up, and Gao Ru Xue's voice came from the other end. "I'm going to leave now."
The door opened and closed. Gao Ru Xue seemed to be walking down the corridor alone, and the static on the phone lessened. "Where shall we meet tonight?"
"Tell me a place, and I'll be there now." Hearing that it was Gao Ru Xue, Chen Ge sighed in relief. As long as she was fine.
"Then come to our school. Come through the western gate; there are fewer people there. We'll meet behind the education block at the old campus." Gao Ru Xue seemed to hide in the bathroom alone. "You'd better come quickly. I feel like something is wrong with my roommates."
"Did something happen again?"
"During the afternoon class, Liu Xianxian slept the whole afternoon on the table."
"She went to the underground warehouse at night, so it's normal for her to sleep in the morning." Chen Ge did not think there was anything wrong with that.
"If she was really sleeping, I wouldn't have told you." Gao Ru Xue's voice was low. She was feeling very insecure. "In the middle of the second class, my pen fell to the ground. When I bent down to pick it up, I realized by accident that Liu Xianxian had not been sleeping. Her eyes were wide open, staring at the mirror inside the drawer."
"Mirror?"
"Yes, to be more precise, she was looking at herself in the mirror." Gao Ru Xue reconstructed the situation for Chen Ge. "Her eyes were bloodshot, and it felt like she was filled with hatred toward the person in the mirror, but wasn't the person in the mirror herself?"
"Your roommates seem to be possessed. Don't stay in the dormitory tonight. They might attack you at night."
"Okay, let's meet at school first. I still have a lot of things to tell you."
After hanging up, Chen Ge was about to leave when his phone rang again. This time, it was Captain Yan.
"Isn't this too much of a coincidence? Of all times. "
Pressing the answer button, before Chen Ge could say anything, he heard Captain Yan's voice. "I need you to come to the station immediately. I have something important to tell you."
"Now?"
"Yes! Very important! "
Captain Yan's tone was serious. Chen Ge thought about it and agreed. "I'll be there in a minute, but I have something else to do tonight, so I can't stay too long."
"It won't take up too much of your time."
The call soon ended. Chen Ge took a taxi to the station. On the way, he called Gao Ru Xue again, but this time, there was no answer.
When it was almost 8 pm, Chen Ge arrived at the station. Once he entered, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right.
The officer at the door recognized Chen Ge and led him to Captain Yan's office.
He pushed the door open, and other than Captain Yan, there were two other people — Ol 'Wei and Master Bai.
"Yes!"
The door closed, and Captain Yan signaled for Chen Ge to sit down. "Last night, the three of you entered the mountain and found the two children, but I sent people into the mountain this morning to follow the route that you said. They searched for six hours, but they couldn't find the village."
"It was Master Bai who led the way last night. You'll have to ask Master Bai about these things." Coffin Village had been unlocked, and Chen Ge temporarily did not want to return to that ghost village.
"The route I said was correct." Master Bai leaned against the chair. He had slept for a whole day. "I looked at the pictures that your team took after they returned. The route is correct. After crossing the valley, we'll reach Coffin Village."
"But the problem is, after crossing the valley, we didn't see the village." Captain Yan sat at the table. "What happened to the three of you last night?"
"I can't remember, but I do remember seeing a village." Ol 'Wei had his head lowered. He had done a good deed, but he looked so down.
"The children have been saved. We can take our time to look for the village. There's no need to rush." Chen Ge stood to the side. He did not even sit down; he was ready to leave at any moment.
"If it was just child trafficking, we can take our time to investigate, but the problem now is …" Captain Yan took out an evidence bag from the drawer. There was a gun inside. "Ol 'Wei's gun is missing a bullet. After the technician's inspection, they found that the gun was used last night, but Ol' Wei has no memory of that. Do you know what this means?"
Chen Ge shook his head. He knew that it was Ol 'Wei who fired the gun, but Chen Ge had no idea why Ol' Wei fired the gun and what he encountered.
"Ol 'Wei has been a police officer for many years. To be able to force him to fire the gun, it means that the situation had reached a point where he had to fire the gun to solve it! Did you run into any danger like that last night? "Captain Yan stared at Chen Ge, waiting for Chen Ge to answer.
Chen Ge glanced at Master Bai and answered casually, "No."
Hearing that, Master Bai's hands slowly loosened.
"Then, do you have any memory of Ol 'Wei firing the gun?"
"I heard the gunshot in the village, but at the time, I wasn't with Ol 'Wei and Master Bai."
"The gun is the most important thing to a police officer, and it cannot be touched by an outsider. Now that we can confirm that the gun was used, whether it was Ol 'Wei who fired the gun or not, this is very serious. If you have any clues, you have to tell me as soon as possible." Captain Yan looked at Ol 'Wei, who had his head lowered, and sighed. "The doctor said that Ol' Wei's condition is temporary memory loss caused by strong stimulation. No matter what, I will get to the bottom of this."
"Understood." Chen Ge nodded and hesitated. "Captain Yan, Doctor Chen from Jiujiang's Children's Home was also in the village at the time. He has been following us. Ol 'Wei's shooting might have something to do with him."
"We are currently searching for this man in the city, so we should have a result soon." Then Captain Yan rummaged through the drawer. Moments later, he took out a map with pictures. "There's another reason why I called you here today."
He pointed at the pictures on the map. "Take a look for yourself. Each picture is the scene of an eye-gouging murder."
Chen Ge looked at the pictures on the map, and his pupils narrowed. Over the past two days, there had been five eye-gouging murders in Jiujiang. If he drew the locations of the five murders into a circle, he would realize that the center of the circle was New Century Park!
