Han Bao 'er suffered from body dysmorphia, and she could not tolerate the slightest abnormality on her body. However, the baby handprints kept appearing on her body like birthmarks.
She scratched with all her might and screamed in pain, hysterically trying to dig out the baby's handprint.
Unfortunately, even after she fainted, the baby handprints did not disappear.
Blood slid down her flawless skin, and Han Bao 'er collapsed in the middle of the room. Her body was covered in wounds, and it looked quite scary.
After Han Bao 'er fainted, Lee Zheng, who had been hypnotized by her Little Ghost, also fainted.
At the same time, the black phone vibrated, but Chen Ge did not look at it. He needed to deal with the other person before the police arrived.
Qiu Meng, whose arms had been broken, was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. He was much stronger than Chen Ge, but in terms of actual combat experience, he was not as good as Chen Ge.
"Do you have anything else to say?" Chen Ge looked at Qiu Meng, and his head started to hurt. If only Zhang Ya was there. She would be able to extract Qiu Meng's soul silently, and he would not have to worry about exposing his trump card.
Qiu Meng collapsed to the ground, and looking at Han Bao 'er, his eyes were complicated.
"She was the one who was hurt first. If you knew about her past, you would agree with everything she said."
"Then tell me, what has she been through?" Chen Ge was quite curious about Han Bao 'er.
"She lived with her mother since she was young. She was like those little ghosts lying on the ground, attached to that evil woman.
"She is a living person, but other than her, she is always treated as a commodity."
"Beauty became a sin, and that was an indescribable despair. The world was wrong. She was just desperate, and she wanted to fight back."
Footsteps came from the corridor; the police had arrived.
Chen Ge did not waste any more time. He tried to communicate with Xu Yin, asking if there was a way to make Qiu Meng forget what had happened that night while keeping him alive.
Xu Yin clearly misunderstood Chen Ge's meaning. He pressed Qiu Meng's head with both hands. The wound on his arm split open, and bright red blood seeped into Qiu Meng's body.
Just when Chen Ge was worried that Qiu Meng's eyes were about to burst, his eyes lost their color and he fainted.
Xu Yin seemed to have stolen something from Qiu Meng's mind. The missing part of his heart now had a faint reddish hue.
"The key to becoming a Red Specter is related to living humans? What exactly is missing in Xu Yin's heart? "
The anti-theft door was slammed, and Chen Ge knew that the police had arrived.
He recalled all the ghosts and chose a comfortable position to 'faint' on the ground. He began to think about how to deal with the upcoming interrogation.
"Quick! Someone was injured! Call an ambulance! "
The police's voice echoed in his ears. Chen Ge felt like his body was being moved. He narrowed his eyes to look. All the officers from the city's investigation team had arrived, and this gave him a sense of security that he had not felt for a long time.
Han Bao 'er and Qiu Meng had both fainted, and Lee Zheng had no idea when he would wake up. To avoid unnecessary trouble, Chen Ge decided to act like he had fainted.
Having not had a good rest for a few days, after Chen Ge was sent to the ambulance, he fell asleep immediately.
After entering the hospital, the doctor examined him and Lee Zheng's bodies. They did not find anything wrong with them, but Han Bao 'er and Qiu Meng were sent to the emergency room.
Lying in bed, Chen Ge did not forget to set an alarm clock for himself before he drifted off to sleep.
At 7 am, the alarm rang. Chen Ge stretched lazily. He had not slept so well in a long time.
He pulled back the cover and looked around. Lee Zheng had already left, and he was alone in the room.
Lee Zheng was bewitched by Han Bao 'er last night, so he probably doesn't know what happened next. Chen Ge stood up and checked the backpack on the bedside table. The recorder and comic were still there, but the hammer was gone.
He put on his clothes in a hurry and carried the backpack out of the room.
"You're awake?" The person guarding the door was Ol 'Wei, who had accompanied him to Coffin Village. "The killer's identity has been confirmed, and Lee Zheng has pushed all the credit to you. I'm afraid you'll be on TV in a few days."
"All the credit is on me?" Chen Ge smiled. "That's so embarrassing, but do you mind if I ask if there's a reward for this case?"
"You're a boss yourself. You're always thinking about the bounty. Can honor be measured by money?" Ol 'Wei felt like there was something wrong with Chen Ge's thinking. "Come with me. Captain Yan is downstairs in the ICU. He has something to tell you."
Chen Ge followed Ol 'Wei down the stairs, and from afar, he saw a room guarded by police officers.
After getting permission, Ol 'Wei had Chen Ge enter alone.
The atmosphere was not right, but in broad daylight, Chen Ge did not think he would run into any danger.
He pushed the door open, and there was only one bed. Qiu Meng was lying in bed with the ventilator attached. The doctor was explaining the situation to Captain Yan. They had tried their best, but they were unable to wake Qiu Meng up.
Seeing Chen Ge enter, Captain Yan had the doctor leave and closed the door.
"Captain Yan, Ol 'Wei said you're looking for me?" Chen Ge glanced at Qiu Meng in bed. His head, arms, and one leg were all wrapped in bandages and plaster. He looked like he was in a terrible condition.
"This is yours, isn't it?" Captain Yan pulled out a ghastly looking hammer from the cupboard next to him. There was a seal on the head of the hammer.
"Even though it looks scary, it's just a small prop at my Haunted House."
"Small prop?" Captain Yan gripped the hammer with both hands. "We've examined Qiu Meng's injuries. His muscles are torn, and he has multiple fractures. If he doesn't receive treatment in time, he'll be bedridden for the rest of his life."
"He was the one who attacked first. You can ask Lee Zheng about that. I was merely defending myself." Chen Ge acted like he was not afraid of the accusation, and that made Captain Yan feel helpless.
"I know you didn't do anything wrong, but sometimes, I hope you can use a more rational approach, like calling me when you have a clue and waiting for us to come to your aid." Captain Yan tore off the seal on the hammer. "Now that both the main culprit and the accomplice are heavily injured, we can't get any evidence. If someone uses this against you, it'll have a negative impact on you."
He returned the hammer to Chen Ge and whispered, "Put it in your backpack and don't let anyone discover it when you leave. No matter how you look at it, this is a controlled item, so don't take it out."
"Understood."
"Okay, go and find Ol 'Wei and Lee Zheng. They still need your help to make a statement."
After exiting the sickroom, Chen Ge thought back to everything that Captain Yan had said. He really could not connect Captain Yan to the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales.
