"They are indeed different from ordinary criminals. They are more purposeful and more cruel." Chen Ge remembered a story he heard in the Ghost Story Association: "This group of lunatics once drowned a middle-aged man in a water tank. The reason they did this was to cure a companion's illness."
"Killing people for the purpose of curing illness?" Captain Yan thought it was ridiculous.
"The patient had been abused since childhood. His father had pushed him into the pool many times, insulted and threatened him, and even threatened to drown him. This left him with an indelible psychological trauma."
"When he grew up, he would be afraid of water. He even felt like his soul was drowning every time he drank water. He had an indescribable feeling of suffocation."
"The treatment plan that other patients developed for him was to eliminate the source of his fear. In their opinion, the patient was not afraid of water, but of his father."
This story was told by one of the association members when the female radio host was questioning them, and Chen Ge secretly wrote it down.
"Ward 3 is full of lunatics. They know they are abnormal and have a disease, but they don't agree with the general public's treatment methods and want to use their own methods to heal themselves."
Chen Ge's words made Captain Yan fall into deep thought: "Citizens' personal rights are protected by law, and no one may illegally deprive others of their lives. No matter what the motives of those lunatics are, they will not be able to escape legal sanctions."
"I won't excuse those lunatics. I'm just stating the facts to you." Chen Ge walked around the room with the phone in his hand. "The victims this time are all guilty. Their eyes were gouged out. The similarities between the two murders are very obvious. It's very likely that the lunatics are giving their companions special treatment again."
"What kind of mental illness is linked to eyes and crime?" Captain Yan was also thinking, and he felt that what Chen Ge said made sense.
"I don't know about that, but you have to hurry up. You have found two victims now. But from what I know about those lunatics, their favorite number is 'three'."
"You mean there will be new victims?"
"No matter what those crazy people do, they will try to link it to the three. I don't know the specific reason for this."
Chen Ge told almost everything he knew. The Ghost Story Association was also his enemy, and assisting the police was helping himself.
"Okay, we will step up our vigilance."
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge couldn't fall asleep.
"There are only three people left in the Ghost Story Association now. Xiong Qing has been arrested, but he should not be a member of the Ghost Story Association. Otherwise, given his personality, he would have definitely identified me at the party on Wednesday."
"Of the mentally ill people who escaped from Ward 3, only three are confirmed alive - Wang Shenglong, Han Baoer from Ward 6, and Wu Fei from Ward 9."
"Wang Shenglong was at home on Wednesday, the day of the party. This has been confirmed by the police. He is not a member of the Ghost Story Association, and the evil spirit in his body also sneaked out from behind the door."
"Then there is a problem now. Among the three people left in the Ghost Story Association, at most only two are the mentally ill people in the third ward."
Chen Ge has obtained a lot of information about the Ghost Story Association. For example, he is very familiar with the president's voice, he has met him before. Another example is that No. 10 knows him, but his attitude towards him is very vague and his position is unclear.
"When the investigator jumped off the building, the last two words he uttered were Men Nan. Could it be that the remaining three members of the Ghost Story Association are Wu Fei, Han Baoer, and Men Nan?"
After thinking about it, Chen Ge rejected this guess. The enemy's words could not be trusted. The investigator was controlled by the Ghost Story Association at the time, and the information he left behind was probably intended to confuse the public.
"No matter whether what the investigator said is true or false, at least I can get a very important message from his words. The person who manipulated the investigator knew Men Nan's situation. If he didn't know Men Nan inside and out, he wouldn't have mentioned the word Men Nan at the last minute."
"Wu Fei's whereabouts are unknown and he hides in the darkest places in the city. Men Nan is just the opposite. He lives a life like an ordinary person and can be found at any time. These two people are not the best breakthrough points." Chen Ge thought for a moment and set Han Baoer as his next target.
"Come one by one, send them all to jail, then there's no need to guess who the president is."
Covering himself with the quilt, Chen Ge emptied his mind and slowly fell asleep.
At half past eight in the morning, Chen Ge stretched and got up from the bed. He took a cold shower, and when he passed the door of the toilet cubicle on the first floor, his heart skipped a beat.
Very thin cracks appeared on the door panel of the toilet cubicle, like squinting eyes, spying on the world outside the door with malicious intent.
"At twelve o'clock in the evening, something appeared behind the door again. These cracks should be caused by it."
Chen Ge nailed the door of the toilet cubicle on the first floor shut with wooden boards. Nothing had happened for many days, so he gradually put his mind at ease and stopped caring about it.
After accidentally discovering the gap on the door, Chen Ge felt a sense of urgency: "The gaps on the door are very evenly distributed and the surface is smooth. This should be a kind of ghost that I have never seen before."
The world behind the door was still too mysterious to Chen Ge, and he didn't want to provoke those things now: "The Ghost Story Association knows how to close the door, and Men Nan's main personality should also know some secrets. Now the door of my haunted house has changed again. It seems that the task of the third ward can't be delayed any longer."
After walking out of the bathroom, Chen Ge already had his own plans.
The park opened at nine o'clock, and the lounge at the entrance of the haunted house was packed with people in just twenty minutes. There were several familiar faces among them. They seemed very excited and talked to their friends from time to time, their words full of anticipation.
"This should be what every haunted house owner wants to see, that their work is recognized and attracts more and more people to visit."
Chen Ge put on the skull crusher mask and his expression slowly changed. It was not easy for the horror house to reach this day, and they could not let a door ruin the reputation they had built up before.
"Before the three-star horror scene Living Coffin Village trial mission disappears, we must wipe out the Ghost Story Association and find a way to shut it down from them."
Boss Chen, who was full of evil spirit, brought tourists a better experience. The screams in the haunted house continued one after another and did not stop for the whole day.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Captain Yan called Chen Ge several more times. Chen Ge was so absorbed in chasing tourists in the haunted house that he did not hear any of the calls.
Chen Ge didn't see it until the end of business when he was about to remove his makeup. He quickly called Team Yan.
"Captain Yan, has the murderer been caught?" Chen Ge wiped off the makeup on his face and let Xu Wan go off work first.
Captain Yan didn't say anything for a long time before replying, "The third victim has appeared. He is a worker at the Linjiang Blood Prevention Station. His cause of death is the same as the first two victims."
