Chen Ge explained for a long time before Zhen Zhen understood what he meant. However, Zhen Zhen didn't seem to want to talk about this topic and hid behind the female police officer again.
"Chen Ge, he is still a child and is undergoing psychological trauma treatment. Don't let him recall those bad things." It was the first time that the female police officer Chen Ge met him, but she called him by his name directly, as if they had known each other for a long time.
"If we want to stop the tragedy at its source, we can only look for the answer from Zhen Zhen. I am also forced to do so." Chen Ge squatted in front of Zhen Zhen: "Zhen Zhen, if you sense the location of other children, you must tell me. Uncle wants to protect that child."
The cursed hospital is also looking for the child chosen by the ghost fetus. If they find it first, the child will most likely be killed by them directly.
After more than ten minutes, Zhen Zhen finally spoke. He hid behind the policewoman, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said timidly, "That weird uncle always said some strange things to me before I fell asleep. After hearing those words, I always had dreams that had nothing to do with me. It was like experiencing a strange life from someone else's perspective."
Zhen Zhen didn't express it clearly, but Chen Ge could understand what he meant.
This child is of the same origin as the ghost fetus and has the scent of the ghost fetus on his body. With the help of Jia Ming, he dreams of other children chosen by the ghost fetus.
Jia Ming and Bei Ye had previously relied on Zhen Zhen’s ability to find Liu Wen.
"In addition to Liu Wen and Nie Xin, I also had a dream. It was pitch black in that dream and I couldn't see anything." Zhen Zhen recalled with great effort.
"It was pitch black in the dream? I couldn't see anything?"
"Well, that feeling is very uncomfortable. It's completely dark all around, and my body is very itchy. I want to scratch my skin."
Chen Ge felt a little uncomfortable just by listening to Zhen Zhen's description: "Even if you can't see with your eyes, your sense of smell and hearing should be fine. Did you smell any strange smells? Did you hear any special sounds?"
Chen Ge was slowly guiding Zhen Zhen. The child thought for a long time before speaking: "I can smell a fishy smell and hear cats' cries. Yes! It seems that there are many cats in my room."
"A lot of cats? A blind man who adopts stray cats?" The first image that came to Chen Ge's mind was: "Only the sound of cats? No sound of people talking?"
"There seemed to be another man's voice. He seemed to call me brother and said something else, but I felt that he was very far away from me and I couldn't hear it clearly." Zhen Zhen told Chen Ge everything he knew.
"I think I understand." Chen Ge walked out of the duty room, took out his mobile phone, and wrote down the useful information: "Two men appeared in Zhen Zhen's dream. They should be brothers. The younger brother is blind and there are many cats around him. Judging from the fishy smell, the environment should be very bad. The elder brother was standing far away from the younger brother and talking..."
Li Zheng stood beside Chen Ge, watching him talking to himself, sorting out information and recording it. He unconsciously put on a bitter smile and said, "You are wasting your talent if you don't become a police officer."
"Brother Zheng, can you do me another favor?" Chen Ge looked at Li Zheng after sorting out the information: "If we don't find the blind man as soon as possible, his life may be in danger."
He was chatting with a child one moment, and the topic was about a murder the next. The topic changed so quickly that even an experienced detective like Li Zheng couldn't react. "Life is in danger? How did you deduce a murder case from a child's dream? I don't mean to question you, I just think it's a little unbelievable."
"Intuition." Chen Ge was not in a position to elaborate: "My intuition has always been very accurate."
"I don't deny that, but our police force is limited right now, and I'm afraid we can't provide you with much help." Although Li Zheng said that it was difficult to help, after returning to the office, he still opened the database that only the police could access.
"See if there are any pet shops run by two brothers in our area, or organizations that adopt stray cats. The younger brother must be blind, and something bad must have happened in their family..."
There are a lot of clues, but it is still very difficult to screen all the information within a day.
It was not until around two o'clock in the afternoon that good news came from Li Zheng that they had found someone who met the requirements.
"Ying Chen, 22 years old, is the person in charge of the local loving cat rescue website in Hanjiang. He is a cat lover and has participated in various volunteer activities in Hanjiang many times. He has excellent academic performance during his school years and has no bad habits." Li Zheng pointed at the computer screen: "This is all public information on the Internet. I shouldn't be violating the rules."
Chen Ge looked at the website called Love Cat. The homepage of the website was filled with cute cats and communication posts from cat lovers. The most popular thing on this website was a stray cat rescue plan, which called on everyone not to abandon their pets casually.
There is an introduction of Yingchen and his photo on the website. He has a gentle appearance and fair skin, and gives a very good first impression.
"He's quite capable. His parents died early, and he and his brother lived with relatives. But the relatives adopted them just to occupy their house, and they were always very bad to him. He didn't make a fuss about it, and studied hard. Finally, when he was able to take care of his brother, he drove the relatives out. All in all, he is a very sunny and inspiring young man."
Li Zheng held up the survey report he compiled: "Website users also have very good comments on him. They think he is like a child with a heart full of light. There are even many unmarried female users who want to pursue him, but he refuses politely because he has to take care of his younger brother and is afraid of dragging the women down."
"According to what you said, he is really a good person." Chen Ge first looked through the entire website and found nothing unusual, then he clicked on Yingchen's own homepage.
The homepage contains videos and photos shot by Yingchen, as well as articles he wrote himself, most of which record his life with his brother and stray cats.
All his videos and articles have a high number of views. He has also opened his own accounts on some video websites. The number of his fans is not too many, but not too few either.
"My brother is a loving person. Although my brother has eye problems, he will definitely be well taken care of." Chen Ge clicked on the videos one by one and watched them silently.
"Yes, having a brother like this is a blessing in disguise for my younger brother."
"Brother Zheng, you don't understand what I mean." Chen Ge looked back at Li Zheng and said, "Do you still remember the dream that Zhen Zhen described? It was pitch black all around, and I could smell a fishy odor. I couldn't see anything, and my body was extremely itchy. If the elder brother was really taking good care of his younger brother, this would never happen."
"But it was just a dream of Zhen Zhen after all." For Li Zheng, any suspicion must be supported by evidence, and dreams certainly cannot be used as evidence.
"Dreams are a reaction of the human subconscious. Most people will choose to escape when they encounter terrible things in their dreams, while some people will pick up a knife in their dreams. Different choices can actually reflect a person's mental state and psychological problems to some extent." Chen Ge continued to watch the video without raising his head.
"Do you guys who run haunted houses need to know so many things now?" Li Zheng saw Chen Ge still checking the videos one by one: "Are you trying to find evidence from the videos to prove that Yingchen is hypocritical?"
"There seems to be nothing wrong with his videos, but..." Chen Ge took out his mobile phone and entered the official website of Hanjiang's local weather forecast, which contained weather data for the entire year.
He compared the meteorological data, and his expression gradually became solemn: "Brother Zheng, I found evidence."
"How did you find it?" Li Zheng himself is a senior criminal policeman. He has watched some videos himself and did not find any major problems.
"When I clicked on Yingchen's homepage, I found that many of his videos were about rescuing stray cats. Those cats looked very miserable and were extremely afraid of people. But after Yingchen's treatment and raising, those cats became healthy and beautiful, and were not so afraid of strangers anymore."
"This shows that his treatment is very effective and does not deviate from the purpose of their website."
"But have you noticed that most of the stray cats Yingchen rescued are adult cats with a fixed body size?"
"What do you want to say?" Years of criminal investigation experience gave Li Zheng a bad feeling.
"I suspect that some of his videos may have been shot backwards." Chen Ge stood in front of the computer and whispered, "He first filmed healthy and normal cats, and when he had enough footage, he began to torture the cats. The miserable look of the cat at the beginning of the video is actually the cat's final appearance. Isn't it scary to think about it this way?"
"I think it's scary that you can think of these things." Li Zheng found that Chen Ge was considering the problem completely from the perspective of a criminal. He was very glad that Chen Ge did not go astray, otherwise he would be an extremely difficult opponent.
"After I had my suspicion, I tried to find a way to prove it, but most of his videos were shot in the same scene. There was no calendar or clock in the room, thick curtains were drawn, and the light changes were not obvious. This guy was very thoughtful and blocked all the loopholes." Chen Ge clicked on a video he had just watched, "But he gave himself away in this video. If you listen carefully, you can vaguely hear the sound of rain and thunder outside at the beginning of the video. At this time, the cat looked very miserable. One leg was unstable, the wound was infected, and there was also a problem with the eye."
"The video was posted on the 26th of last month. He said in the video that he picked up the cat at the beginning of last month. He was also shocked by the cat's miserable appearance when he first picked it up. He also condemned those who abandon pets at will at the beginning of the video."
"But I just checked the official Hanjiang weather website and found that it only rained heavily on the 24th of last month."
"That is to say, he filmed the cat's miserable appearance on the 24th, and when he posted the video on the 26th, the cat in the video had recovered to normal, with no visible external injuries. Do you think this is possible?"
Yingchen is thoughtful, but he is far inferior to Chen Ge.
"Then why did he do this? Not only did he abuse the cat, but he also posted the video for so many cat lovers to see?"
"I feel like this is just like some murderers who go back to the scene after committing the crime. They are enjoying that perverted pleasure." Chen Ge continued to watch the video. To be honest, if it hadn't been for the coincidence of the rain, it would have been difficult to catch Ying Chen. "Brother Zheng, this guy is probably a pervert with an extremely dark mind. He is good at disguise and is very smart. If left alone, sooner or later he will do something even more terrible."
"Indeed, but I'm more worried about his brother now." Li Zheng's expression became serious: "Living with a brother like this, he will probably get hurt too. That's why you said his life would be in danger, right?"
"That's about right. Anyway, we have to find them as soon as possible." Chen Ge looked at the introduction about Ying Chen on the computer screen. This person also has a blind younger brother named Ying Tong.
…
Chen Ge found Ying Chen's contact number on the web, and he and Li Zheng agreed to visit Ying Chen's home early the next morning.
After leaving the city branch, Chen Ge thought again and again. Li Zheng was already so busy, it would be better for him not to cause them any trouble.
After getting in a taxi, Chen Ge directly dialed the number on the web page.
The phone rang three times before someone answered it. A man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, I'm Yingchen."
The phone number left on the website is used to discuss business cooperation, so Yingchen's attitude was very good.
"Mr. Ying, I'm the owner of a haunted house in New Century Park. I want to place long-term advertisements on your website. Are you interested?" Chen Ge spoke like a seasoned man: "We can discuss the price in person. I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."
"Okay, I've always thought that theme parks and cute pets go well together. Besides, our website's user base is relatively young, and many of them like to go to theme parks during holidays."
The two parties hit it off immediately. In order to let Yingchen relax his vigilance, Chen Ge did not directly ask Yingchen to go to his home, but asked Yingchen to choose a restaurant that was very close to his home.
Half an hour later, Chen Ge rushed to the restaurant and called Ying Chen again.
"Boss Chen! I have booked a private room!" A young man walked out of the restaurant. He was dressed simply and fashionably, giving people a very clean and sunny feeling.
"Yingchen?" Chen Ge held up his backpack and asked, "Do you know me?"
"As soon as I heard about the haunted house in New Century Park, I knew it was you. I just didn't expect you to come in person." Ying Chen kept being polite, saying that he was a fan of Chen Ge, and then praising Chen Ge for his promising young age. He was so smooth that he didn't look like a 22-year-old young man.
Chen Ge had no intention of placing advertisements on his website, so he appeared to be "very sincere" and offered a price that was 30% higher than the market price.
The two sides had a very pleasant conversation. If you didn't know them, you might think they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
The relationship between the two quickly became closer. As they drank glass after glass of wine, when the waiter was about to serve the last dish, Chen Ge accidentally bumped into the other person and the juice spilled on his shoulder.
Ying Chen quickly came over with a napkin, and Chen Ge's face darkened instantly: "I have to meet a client later, what should I do?"
The waiter kept apologizing, and Chen Ge finally had no choice but to ask Ying Chen: "Brother, can I go to your house to borrow some clothes? The next customer has already made an appointment, so it's not appropriate for me to go there now."
Yingchen hesitated for a moment before agreeing: "No problem."
The two paid the bill and entered the nearby residential area. This place was very close to the old city but also quite remote, so there were basically no people in the area.
