After obtaining the black phone, Chen Ge had mastered many skills that had nothing to do with Haunted Houses, like tracking and anti-surveillance.
He held the fishing rod in his hand and followed the fisherman while maintaining a distance from him.
The fisher was scared out of his wits. He jogged all the way, but he did not notice Chen Ge.
Not far from the reservoir, there were a few low-rise houses that looked very shabby.
The fisher stopped next to one of the houses. He took out the key, and seeing that there was no one around, he slid into the house.
"He sure is fast." Chen Ge waited until the man entered the house. He leaned against the door and looked in. The house was much bigger than he expected, and it came with its own courtyard.
"Should I knock and enter under the guise of returning the fishing rod, or should I climb over it?" When Chen Ge was thinking, a commotion came from inside the house.
His pupils narrowed, and he continued to look through the gap.
The fisher was kneeling before his fridge. His hands were pressed to the ground, and his lips kept screaming like he was begging for someone's forgiveness.
"What kind of trauma did he suffer at the dam? Why is he crying at the fridge? Is there a victim hiding inside the fridge? "
What happened next indirectly proved Chen Ge's suspicion.
The fisher kowtowed at the fridge. His face was covered in dust and tears.
This continued for about ten minutes before the fisher calmed down. He used his sleeve to wipe his face and went to find a shovel from inside the house.
"What is he doing?"
Chen Ge could see everything clearly from outside the door. The fisher did not even have time to rest. Gasping for air, he dug a large hole in the yard.
"Digging hole? Hiding body parts? "
Once again, Chen Ge was right. The fisher opened the fridge door and took out several large black bags from inside.
His arms were shaking. He kowtowed several more times at the bags before tossing them into the hole.
"I'm not fishing anymore. I'll burn paper money for you every year, no matter how much you want."
Mumbling the strange words, the man picked up the shovel and prepared to fill the hole.
Chen Ge felt like he could not wait any longer. Otherwise, he would have to personally dig the hole that the man had filled.
"Is anyone there?" Chen Ge knocked on the door of the house. His sudden shout scared the fisher so much that he fell into the hole that he had dug. Cold sweat broke out on his face.
"I am the one who was fishing with you at the dam earlier. You forgot to take your fishing rod, so the manager asked me to bring it to you." Chen Ge stared at the man through the gap in the door. "Brother, how is your recovery? Do you need me to call 120 for you? "
Hearing that Chen Ge wanted to call 120, the man could no longer sit still. He staggered to his feet and said, "No need, no need. You can just leave your fishing rod at the door. I'll go get it myself."
"Brother, your voice doesn't sound right! Is there something wrong with you? "
"I'm fine! I'm fine! Put down the fishing rod and leave! "The fisher was sweating profusely. As he yelled, he pushed the soil around him into the hole.
"I can't leave. You're not in a good condition! Open the door and let me take a look. If you're really fine, I'll leave immediately. "Chen Ge refused to leave. The fisher felt like cursing.
Why did I run into someone like this?
He hurriedly used the soil to cover the black bag and then opened the door a sliver while panting. "I'm fine. Give me the fishing rod."
"But you don't look well."
"Give me the fishing rod! Give it to me! " The fisher was almost driven mad. He roared. Perhaps he was too agitated, but when his body swayed, the bobber in his pocket fell out.
The special luminous bobber fell to the ground. Chen Ge did not tighten it earlier, and the little finger fell out.
The fisher reacted faster than Chen Ge, and he used his body to block Chen Ge's sight.
"What is that?"
"You saw it? It's just a ham sausage. That's my exclusive bait. " The fisher replaced the bobber, and he suddenly calmed down. His earlier irritation disappeared, and he even smiled at Chen Ge.
However, this forced smile, combined with his dead fish eyes, made Chen Ge feel very uncomfortable.
"My fishing rod is also specially made, and it's very expensive. Thank you for bringing it back to me. Why don't you come in? "The man was adjusting his breathing, and his tone sounded strange.
"Okay." Chen Ge looked like an honest man. He silently pressed the play button on the recorder in his backpack and entered the house.
The hole in the yard had not been filled, and there was yellow soil everywhere.
"I plan to plant some vegetables here, and I've just dug up the ground." The man suddenly became friendly. "Come in and have a seat. I caught a few river fish this morning. I'll let you taste my cooking later."
Chen Ge walked ahead without any warning. When he entered the house, the man behind him silently locked the door and then raised the shovel in his hand.
The smile on his face disappeared, and the fisher's eyes were filled with venom and hatred. He stared at the back of Chen Ge's head, looking for a chance to ambush Chen Ge from behind.
However, before he found the chance, the man before him suddenly removed the backpack, and then without any warning, without any reason, he slammed the backpack at the fisher's face.
This was too sudden; it was completely different from what he had planned.
The backpack hit his nose, and the man's vision was blocked. Before he recovered, pain came from his stomach like he had been kicked.
His body slammed into the door, and the shovel fell to the side. Before he knew what had happened, pain came from all over his body.
The thought that someone was beating him up flashed through his mind. He felt that it was inexplicable and even a little wronged.
"Stop! Stop hitting me! F * ck! " He used his hands to protect his head. The shovel had already fallen somewhere. He writhed on the ground, but the man did not seem like he was going to stop.
After being beaten for several minutes, it was not until the man felt tired that the pain on his body lessened.
With a swollen face and a bloody nose, the fisher collapsed in the corner of the living room. He looked at Chen Ge with fear. "Are you crazy? Why are you beating me up? "
"Because you want to kill me." Chen Ge picked up the shovel from the ground and sat down on the sofa.
"Which eye of yours saw that I want to kill you?"
"I saw that intention in your eyes." Chen Ge was too lazy to waste time with the fisher. "Next, I will ask you a few questions. Answer them honestly."
"You followed me here just to ask me a few questions?"
"First, what did you see in the dam earlier?" Chen Ge cut to the chase. He did not want to waste time.
The man hesitated before saying, "There was no King Fish in the water. I saw a human."
"A human?"
"Yes, with limbs and hair." The fear in the man's eyes was overflowing. "There was more than one. When I tossed the bait into the water, there were many similar things rising to the surface."
"There were many of them." Chen Ge nodded. "Second question, I already know what your bait is. Tell me, why did you choose to use it as bait, and how did you know they like this kind of bait?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." The fisher was still trying to deny it.
"It's fine if you don't want to answer that question. The police will ask more questions than I will. Third question, have you been to Li Wan City? Have you taken the last bus on Route 104?" Sheng Xiang was related to the ghost fetus, and the water ghosts at Eastern Jiujiang's dam were monsters born from Sheng Xiang. Chen Ge wanted to confirm whether the fisher was fishing for water ghosts out of personal preference or for something else.
"Li Wan City?" The man was confused. It did not look like he was faking it, so he probably had nothing to do with the culprit in Eastern Jiujiang.
After asking a few more questions, Chen Ge called the police. "You can tell the police the rest."
Twenty minutes later, Eastern Jiujiang's police arrived.
"Why don't you come with us?"
"There's no need for that. I suggest you learn from Western Jiujiang's police station. Keep things simple, and we'll have many chances to meet in the future."
After a simple statement, Chen Ge found out about the fisher's crime from the police.
The dead body in his yard came from Ming Yang Residence. The man had a twisted personality. Some time ago, on his way home, he had gotten into a conflict with a homeless man.
He had accidentally injured the man, and the homeless man had threatened to take revenge.
After many conflicts, the fisher had followed the homeless man to confirm the man's residence. Then, he had come to the abandoned Ming Yang Residence to kill the man.
When he was dumping the body that night, the man had discovered a one-meter-long shadow in the dam. That was the first time he knew about the 'King Fish' at Eastern Jiujiang's dam.
After leaving the fisher's home, Chen Ge had found out what he wanted to know. He hailed a cab and returned to New Century Park.
The mission related to the girl on the black phone still hasn't been triggered, but I can confirm that she is related to the water ghost. Her big sister is probably one of the 'King Fish' at the dam.
This two-star mission was harder than Chen Ge had expected. The water ghost was hiding inside the dam, and if he was not careful, he could be dragged into it. It was different from being on land.
I wonder if Xu Yin's power will be affected underwater. Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked to the park's water project. He pressed the play button on the recorder.
There was a faded scent of blood in the night wind. Xu Yin, in a red shirt, appeared next to Chen Ge.
"Still haven't found your heart?" Chen Ge could see the sadness on Xu Yin's face. Sometimes, he had no idea what Xu Yin was after. All he could do was hope that Xu Yin could be happier.
After driving Xu Yin into the pool, Chen Ge realized that the connection between him and Xu Yin had weakened. It felt like the latter's senses were affected as well.
"This is just a pool, and it's already this bad. If I jump into the dam, it'll be even more troublesome. Xu Yin, stay by my side and don't wander off. I need a ghost that can dive underwater."
Entering the Haunted House, Chen Ge took out the comic and thought about the ghosts that he could use.
Yan Danian, the Foul Odor boy, Bai Qiulin … After eliminating the ghosts one by one, Chen Ge was suddenly reminded of a ghost that had no presence at all.
He rushed into the Coffin Village scenario and pushed open the door of one of the old houses.
There were two locust trees inside the house, and there was a large water tank next to one of them.
"My Haunted House also has a ghost that lives in the water!" Chen Ge walked toward the water tank, and he saw a ball-shaped object floating above the tank. When Chen Ge got close, the ball-shaped object slowly sank into the tank, leaving a trail of bubbles on the surface.
This ghost was brought out by Chen Ge from Coffin Village. It was called the Vat Ghost. It had been hiding inside the water tank and had brought many surprises to the visitors.
"The Haunted House has been kind to you. Today, it's time for you to contribute to the Haunted House."
Chen Ge and Xu Yin stood on either side of the tank. They looked at the ghost that hugged its knees and kept blowing bubbles at the bottom of the tank. They shook their heads.
"You're going to face a dangerous water ghost. You can't be so cowardly." Chen Ge had Xu Yin fish the Vat Ghost out from the water. He summoned the other ghosts and had them give the Vat Ghost an emergency training.
"I don't need you to fight one hundred ghosts, but at least you have to run fast. After you finish your investigation, bring me the information."
