Arriving at Hanjiang Forensic Medical College, Chen Ge called Gao Ruxue, but no one answered.
After asking the school teacher, he found out that Gao Ruxue had taken a long vacation and had not come to school for a long time.
"Gao Ruxue must be suffering because her mother was killed by that hospital and her father disappeared after committing an unforgivable crime."
Gao Ruxue didn't answer the phone, so Chen Ge had to go to her house in person.
After knocking on the door for several minutes, Gao Ruxue finally opened it. She looked very haggard and had lost a lot of weight.
"Chen Ge?"
"Would it be convenient for me to come in and chat for a while?" Chen Ge was carrying a backpack. He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes were full of bloodshot. He looked a little tired. "I have something to say to your father, but if I want to find him, I need your help."
Nodding slightly, Gao Ruxue let Chen Ge enter the house.
The room was covered in dust and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time, but it didn't look particularly messy.
"I want to see him too, but I don't know where he is now." Gao Ruxue sat on the sofa. Even after a long time, her expression would still change when she mentioned her father.
"I need some of your blood." Chen Ge didn't want to explain any more and said straight to the point.
"Blood?" Gao Ruxue slowly raised her head. She looked at Chen Ge in confusion, then stretched out her arm to Chen Ge: "With my blood, can you find out where my father is?"
"It may not succeed, I'm just giving it a try."
After hearing Chen Ge's words, Gao Ruxue's eyes dimmed, but she still did not withdraw her arm: "If you succeed in meeting him, remember to tell him that I miss him very much."
"Okay." Chen Ge asked Gao Ruxue to close her eyes, and then summoned the red high heels.
The black curse, like a steel needle, entered Gao Ruxue's body and extracted a drop of Gao Ruxue's blood.
"You can open your eyes now." Chen Ge looked at Gao Ruxue, whose face was pale, and promised seriously: "I will convey your words to Dr. Gao, and I will also help your family to the best of my ability."
After leaving Gao Ruxue's house, Chen Ge received good news before he had gone far.
The red high-heeled shoes successfully sensed an extremely terrifying existence by cursing the blood in the white cat's body and Gao Ruxue's heart blood. According to Chen Ge's speculation, the monster emitting a terrifying aura should be Doctor Gao.
"It's a good thing that I can sense it. Perhaps when I enter the world behind the door, this feeling will become even stronger."
After leaving the community, Chen Ge ran to the Hanjiang Welfare Home and took a drop of Fan Yu's blood.
After everything was done, he quietly returned to New Century Park and woke up Old Wu before the tourists came to visit.
"Wu Angkor, wake up, we should go back to Xinhai."
The sleeping Old Wu was shaken awake. He looked at Chen Ge with sleepy eyes, looking confused as to who he was and where he was.
"Yesterday I asked you to go back to Hanjiang with me to get something. Did you forget?"
"Yes, I have some impression." Old Wu rubbed his head.
"Get ready to go, I've finished my work." Chen Ge put the white cat on the back seat of the car. He had made all the necessary preparations. The next step was to focus on that hospital and find out the whereabouts of his parents.
The car drove out of New Century Park and they returned to Xinhai City at noon when the sunlight was at its strongest.
"Brother Wu, please don't drive this car on the road recently. Also, tell Teacher Wang not to go out casually at night. It's best for both of you to live in crowded places." Chen Ge was worried that this car would be targeted by the cursed hospital, so he gave a reminder.
"good."
Old Wu sent Chen Ge to the Nightmare Academy and then left in a hurry.
Chen Ge, carrying his backpack and holding the white cat, pushed open the door of Nightmare Academy. As soon as he entered the house, he felt something was wrong.
Because it was not open for business, the central air conditioning of the haunted house was not turned on, but it was unusually cold in the haunted house.
"Xiao Die? Zhang is toasting?"
With a very bad premonition in his heart, Chen Ge directly opened the comic book and released several red-clothed employees.
"Search the entire building!"
Chen Ge's tone was serious. He did not go into the scene but stood at the door. If anything went wrong, he would run away immediately.
Half a minute later, Men Nan appeared in front of Chen Ge: "There is no one in the haunted house."
"Did anything come here last night?" Chen Ge was very worried about the safety of the haunted house employees.
"We didn't sense any signs of other evil spirits, but something did come in last night." Men Nan pointed to the entrance of the scene and said, "Look here."
Protected by several people in red, Chen Ge walked to the entrance of the scene. The wooden door leading to the interior of the scene was covered with notes, and each piece of paper had a sentence written on it.
"This is a sick world, why haven't you discovered it yet? I must cure you!"
The wooden door was covered with densely packed notes, which looked very creepy.
"It was that hospital that did it." Chen Ge recalled a detail. When he hunted down Red Clothes yesterday morning and returned to Nightmare Academy, he felt that there was a pair of eyes watching him in the Shilixiang Delicatessen.
Perhaps he had been targeted since that time.
"Go to Shilixiang Delicatessen."
It was just past dinner time, and there were few people at the door of the delicatessen. Chen Ge brought a few people in red clothes directly to the door of the store.
"What would you like to order?" The clerk came over enthusiastically, but Chen Ge ignored him, opened the door of the counter and went in.
"Hey!" It was the first time that the clerk encountered such a rude person. Just as he was about to say a few harsh words, he lost his strength and fell on the chair.
There was no time to lose. Chen Ge didn't want to waste time on meaningless things. He entered the kitchen and saw the owner pouring something into a large jar of sauce - eating dragon heads.
"Zhang Yi!"
Without saying a word, when the dragon head eater saw Chen Ge, Zhang Yi had already entered his body.
Ten seconds later, Zhang Yi emerged from behind the dragon head, looking very unhappy: "The other party seems to know that I can look through memories. His memory has been tampered with, and I can't find any useful information."
The Cursed Hospital realized that there was a ghost who could read memories on Chen Ge's side, so they tampered with Chi Longtou's memory. Chen Ge had also guessed that the evil spirit Chi could read the memories of living people, so he did not tell any living employee that Chi Ren was hiding in the haunted house. He kept Chi Ren in the principal's office.
When masters fight, it’s all about details.
"Even if the Cursed Hospital takes my employees away, they won't be able to get useful information from the memories of living employees. However, given the character of the Cursed Hospital, if I can't find Zhang Jingjiu and Xiaodie as soon as possible, their lives might be in danger."
Regardless of whether they are living employees or evil spirit employees, Chen Ge treats them as family members. Now that his family members have been kidnapped, he will definitely not be able to sit still.
Back at Nightmare Academy, Chen Ge summoned all the red-clothed ghosts in the comic book and conducted a carpet search without missing a single place.
About half an hour later, Chen Ge actually made a new discovery.
He found a curse letter in Xiaodie's room. The content of the letter was made up of words cut out from newspapers.
The words of different sizes pasted on the letter paper looked extremely strange.
"This seems to be some kind of curse game?"
"I came to the hospital holding the hands of seven friends. My mother said that the patients were among us. Whoever didn't smile was a patient."
"Good friends, bad friends, all laughed."
"I came to the hospital holding the hands of seven friends. My father said my mother was sick and asked me to wait outside the ward."
"Good friends, bad friends, all looked at mom, and they said no one would leave alive tonight."
"I held the hands of seven friends and went to the hospital. The doctor said our father and mother died in the hospital."
"Good friends and bad friends all heard what the doctor said. They said they would never come to the hospital to play with me after midnight again."
After reading the letter in his hand, Chen Ge did not fully understand what the letter wanted to express: "Are you staying here without laughing?"
Turning the letter to the other side, Chen Ge found a blurry face on the back of the paper. If he looked closely, he could see a few words faintly written on the face - You are my seventh friend.
"I am the seventh friend? Seven people in total received this letter last night? Is this an invitation to some kind of curse game?"
Chen Ge put away the curse letter. After making sure that there was nothing else to find, he took out his cell phone and called the police.
"Captain Cai! I was attacked by criminals! Three of my employees disappeared last night!"
After receiving Chen Ge's call, the police did not react at all. From their perspective, no matter how arrogant the murderer was, it was impossible for him to commit the crime in Xinhai's largest business district, and three people disappeared in one night.
"We'll be there soon! Be careful!"
After only a dozen minutes, two police cars stopped in front of the gate of Nightmare Academy.
"Captain Cai! Come and look at this door!" Chen Ge grabbed Captain Cai's arm and ran to the entrance of the haunted house scene. The densely packed notes on the door shocked the police.
"When did you discover that the employee was missing?"
"I returned to the haunted house at noon today. As soon as I entered the door, I found that the employees on duty were not at work because they usually live in the haunted house. Later, I called them again, but no one answered. Then I saw this door!" Chen Ge said anxiously: "These employees followed me from Hanjiang to make money. Now they haven't made any money and are being targeted by the murderer. I am the one who dragged them down! The murderer must have known that I was investigating him, so he wanted to retaliate against me in this way!"
"You don't have to blame yourself too much. Weren't you in the haunted house last night?" Captain Cai felt that there was something fishy about this case.
"I was originally planning to open the business in three days. Last night I went back to Hanjiang to get some props. Old Wu from the Hanjiang City Branch can testify that he was the one who drove me away. The surveillance cameras along the way should have captured me as well." Chen Ge was very sad: "The murderer's real target was me! If I hadn't gotten involved in this case, they wouldn't have been killed!"
"Mr. Chen, you must not think like that. It is already remarkable that you have the courage to stand up and expose the murderer's evil deeds. Now that your employees are missing, strictly speaking, this is our dereliction of duty." Captain Cai wanted to comfort Chen Ge, but he didn't know where to start.
"Captain Cai, there must be more than one murderer. They were able to make three of my employees disappear at the same time. They must be a gang!"
"Well, we are also investigating in this direction."
"I'm afraid more than three of my employees disappeared last night. They must have been planning this for a long time." Chen Ge made this inference because of the curse letter. The letter said that he was the seventh friend, which means that there may be seven curse letters in total: "Captain Cai, the murderer has taken the initiative to find me. He must have investigated me. Now I can only rely on you."
"Don't worry, I will arrange people around your haunted house. If he dares to come over again, we will definitely catch him."
"After causing such a big commotion, they will definitely not come to my door again in the short term. This case concerns the lives of three of my employees. Can I investigate it with you?" The Cursed Hospital has existed in Xinhai for more than 20 years. The police must have a backlog of cases related to the hospital. Chen Ge wanted to use the police's information to understand the hospital from all aspects.
He knows the truth about certain things, so he looks at things differently from the Xinhai police, and they will come to different conclusions on the same case.
"I can't make the decision on this matter." Captain Cai refused tactfully.
"It's okay." Chen Ge did not force it: "The murderer kidnapped three living people, so it must be very inconvenient for them to move. They will definitely make the next move tonight. You must be careful tonight."
Captain Cai always felt uncomfortable listening to Chen Ge talking. A normal person would beg the police to catch the criminal as soon as possible when faced with such a situation, but Chen Ge seemed to be constantly reminding the police to protect themselves.
The two sides talked for an hour, and Chen Ge connected all the clues of the case. These clues more or less pointed to an abandoned hospital in the far suburbs of Xinhai.
Xinhai has always been a city with very good public security, and the cases in recent days are considered extremely rare serious cases.
A strict order was issued from above, and all police forces in the city were mobilized to investigate several cases at the same time. While setting up surveillance throughout the city, they were also preparing to conduct in-depth investigations into hospitals in the far suburbs.
The tranquility of Xinhai was completely broken, and undercurrents were surging beneath the sea surface.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, just after Chen Ge sent the police away, he received a call from Lao Wu, who brought Chen Ge another bad news - Teacher Wang was missing.
Chen Ge didn't even have time to eat as he rushed to Teacher Wang's residence. However, he didn't see Teacher Wang but Zuo Han instead.
"Why are you here?"
"I called the teacher last night to ask something. Halfway through the conversation, the teacher said that it seemed like someone else had entered his room." Zuo Han's eyes were solemn: "The teacher hung up the phone, and I never got through to him again. I was worried that something had happened to him, so I took the first bus to Xinhai early this morning."
"Did you find anything special in Teacher Wang's room? For example, notes and letters..." Before Chen Ge finished speaking, he saw Zuo Han pick up a letter from the coffee table.
The letter paper was the same as the one Chen Ge found in Xiaodie's room. The only difference was on the back of the letter paper. On the face of the person on the back of the letter paper was written: You are my first friend.
