"Two days ago? How come it feels like it was yesterday?" Xiao Qing looked at the innocent Chen Ge, who had his arms raised above his head, and he felt a headache coming on. He did not know how to report this to the captain.
"Was it yesterday? It doesn't matter. As you can see, I'm looking for the culprit of the child trafficking case. "
"You're looking for the culprit, so you trespassed into a private house and used a hammer to break the water pipe? Can you tell me what's the connection between these two things? " Xiao Qing and the other officer lowered their guard when they saw Chen Ge. They knew that Chen Ge was not crazy. Even if his way of thinking was different from a normal person, he belonged to the chaotic justice camp.
"This is difficult for me to explain to you. If Captain Yan from the police station is here, he should be able to understand." Chen Ge first used Captain Yan as an excuse, and then his tone changed. "But breaking other people's things is not right. I will compensate you according to the original price."
He smiled apologetically at the middle-aged man, and the man was stunned. Compared to earlier, the man before him had changed so much.
The rest of the people there could not understand Chen Ge's feelings. Using only a few hundred RMB to trade for a water ghost, this was definitely a profitable business.
After communicating with the middle-aged man, Chen Ge was led downstairs by the two officers.
"You said you're looking for the culprit of the child trafficking case?" Xiao Qing wanted to solve a big case, but his captain refused to let him go to the frontline. He was always assigned to normal cases, and that made him quite annoyed.
"Yes, the rehabilitation school next to this area lost a child today. After my investigation, I realized that other than the teachers and students, there were other people at the school. I followed the trail, but the trail ended at this building." Chen Ge naturally would not tell the police about the water ghost, so he came up with a random excuse.
"Have you found the child?"
"Yes, but the child suffers from a hereditary disease, and he has mental retardation. Combined with the trauma, I doubt we'll get anything out of him." Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked between the two officers. "You seem to be very interested in this case."
"I'm more interested in you than this case." Little Qing asked for Chen Ge's number. He felt that if he followed Chen Ge, he would not have to worry about not having a big case to solve in the future.
When he returned to the rehabilitation school, Chen Ge saw the two teachers being taken away by ambulance.
They were found in a toilet cubicle. Their clothes were soaked, and their faces were twisted as if they had seen something horrifying.
What was even stranger was that when the doctor examined their bodies, he found that there was a large amount of water in their lungs and throats. He didn't know what happened to them before they fell unconscious.
Wen Wen's aunt was also at the school. The headmistress and another female teacher were apologizing to her, saying that the school had to be responsible for the bad guys sneaking into the school.
"This female teacher and the girl's aunt can both prove that I am a good person." Chen Ge very naturally stood with them, putting himself in the shoes of the victim's family.
The police asked about the incident, and the bespectacled female teacher testified for Chen Ge. She said that there were indeed other people at the school at the time, and it was Chen Ge who broke the window to save her and the girl.
However, to their surprise, when the police prepared to question Wen Wen's aunt, the woman was extremely uncooperative. She kept scratching her wrists and the back of her hands as if the slight pain could help her overcome her fear and calm her down.
"What are you afraid of? The killer's revenge? The police are right here. I promise you, we will definitely bring the culprit to justice. " Little Qing had no idea what was going on. After comforting Wen Wen's aunt, he walked to the girl.
The girl did not make a fuss or cry. She stood alone in the shadow by the wall. No matter who tried to hug her, she would attack that person like a madwoman.
"Officer, thank you so much. We do not wish to investigate this anymore." After a long time, Wen Wen's aunt voluntarily gave up on the investigation. Her face was pale, and she kept turning back to look at the deeper part of the rehabilitation school like there was a man-eating demon hiding in the dark corridor.
"You are willing to watch the culprit get away with harming a child?" Little Qing did not understand what Wen Wen's aunt was doing. "If we don't catch the culprit, he might attack other children in the future. This is not your problem alone, so please cooperate with our investigation."
"There's no need, there's really no need! Wen Wen, let's go. " Wen Wen's aunt reached out to hold the little girl's hand, but to everyone's surprise, the little girl was like a startled wild cat. She waved her hands, and her nails dug into the aunt's arm, leaving bloody marks on it.
She did not want anyone to get close to her. She curled up in the shadow, and the originally cute face twisted. Her eyes danced, and her chest rose and fell. She felt very unsafe.
"Wen Wen? I'm your aunt! "The woman wanted to go over, but she was stopped by the police.
"Is the child acting up? Do you have any medicine with you? "Little Qing felt like this case was not as simple as it appeared. He smelled something unusual.
"The medicine is at home. I'll take her back now!" Wen Wen's aunt wanted to take the girl away by force, but the police would not let her go before they got to the bottom of the matter. Seeing that both sides were about to lose control, Chen Ge removed his backpack and walked over.
He walked around Little Qing and Wen Wen's aunt to take out a bottle of shampoo from his backpack.
"What are you doing?" This strange action attracted the attention of the teacher and the other police officer.
Chen Ge ignored them. He squatted down one meter away from the girl and whispered to the child, "Your sister is inside the bottle. No one has harmed her. I know she has her reasons for doing those things. She is as kind as you are, but you are the real victims."
Holding the bottle of shampoo, Chen Ge slowly approached the girl. "You are born as twins, so there should be a special connection between you and her. Try to call her, and you'll be able to get her response."
The girl raised her hand suspiciously and touched the end of the shampoo bottle. Chen Ge had no idea whether the girl could sense her sister's presence or not, but he saw the girl slowly calm down.
"No matter what happens, I will help you. I will stand on your side to help you." Chen Ge picked up the girl lightly. "It's fine now, it's fine now."
Wen Wen's expression returned to normal. Her small hands gripped the end of the shampoo bottle. She seemed to be afraid of meeting strangers, and she buried her head in Chen Ge's shoulder.
When Chen Ge picked up Wen Wen, the black phone in his pocket vibrated.
Chen Ge took out the phone, swiped the screen, and clicked open the message.
"Different choices will result in different results. The special visitor has left, and you've made your choice. Congratulations for lowering the hostility of Twin Water Ghost.
