"Recovering corpses?" Chen Ge's eyelids twitched slightly when he saw the mission information on the black phone. This trial mission was not quite what he had imagined.
"The mission requires me to go to Donggang Reservoir alone to salvage my 'sister's' body. Isn't this too difficult?" It would take several hours to salvage the body from the reservoir even for a professional team, and Chen Ge only had one night.
Without help from others, without salvaging tools or boats, he didn't even know what the 'person' he was trying to salvage looked like.
"All this happened before Wenwen was born. How old was Wenwen's sister at that time? Why did her body sink into the Donggang Reservoir?" Many questions popped up in my mind, and only Wenwen's aunt could answer these questions.
Wenwen's father also suffers from a genetic disease. It can be seen that he loves his daughter very much, but he has an intellectual disability and may not be able to recall what happened. Wenwen's aunt is the only person in their family who has experienced that incident and has normal intelligence and can communicate.
"That woman seems to have been avoiding talking about what happened a few years ago. I won't get anything out of her if I ask her directly. I have to think of a way." The Twin Water Ghosts mission was triggered. According to the convention of the black phone, if the mission fails, the scene will never be unlocked. Chen Ge doesn't want to lose this special underwater horror scene.
Silently putting away the black phone, Chen Ge turned around holding the little girl. He suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him: "Why are you all looking at me?"
"The bone in your backpack is exposed." Xiaoqing coughed dryly and kindly reminded.
After hearing what he said, Chen Ge quickly turned around and saw the handle of the skull crusher sticking out from the gap in the backpack's zipper.
This prop hammer given by the black mobile phone was not so big at the beginning, but it might be because it followed Chen Ge and hammered too many evil spirits and red-clothed people, so it absorbed something from them and its appearance became more and more ferocious, and its weight and length also increased.
"Don't be nervous, this is a prop from the haunted house. I often walk alone at night, and I carry it just to scare the bad guys." Chen Ge explained awkwardly.
"I just can't understand how a child could like someone like you?" Xiao Qing didn't check Chen Ge's backpack. He looked at Chen Ge's sunny and kind expression, his pure and sincere eyes, and Wenwen, who looked like a little angel in Chen Ge's arms. All of this formed a sharp contrast with the hideous spinal hammer handle in the backpack.
"In fact, I am very popular with children. Many children like to be with me." Chen Ge thought of Fan Yu, Xiao Bu and Men Nan. These children had a good relationship with him.
"If you say so, then so be it." Xiao Qing and another police officer opened the door of the police car. "The murderer entered the school and abducted the children. This is a serious matter. All of you should come with me."
…
At 10:10 in the evening, Chen Ge walked out of the police station holding the little girl. Wenwen grabbed the shampoo bottle and only let Chen Ge hold her. She looked very clingy to Chen Ge.
Wenwen's aunt did not expect this situation. She followed Chen Ge and looked at Chen Ge and Wenwen with complicated eyes.
The three of them were walking side by side, and if you didn't know, you would probably think they were a family of three shopping.
"When the police questioned me just now, I tried my best to cover up for you." When they reached a deserted place, Chen Ge suddenly stopped and said, "In fact, it was Wenwen's sister who injured the teacher of the rehabilitation school. There was no child trafficking criminal at all. Am I right?"
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
"I have met Wenwen's sister. Her body is still sinking in the Donggang Reservoir. She died tragically and was full of resentment. She wanted to come back..."
"Stop talking!" Wenwen's aunt suddenly lost control of her emotions, her voice became sharp, and scared passers-by in the distance.
"Escape won't solve any problems. Maybe she hasn't hurt you now, but that doesn't mean you are safe." He turned his head and stared at Wenwen's aunt: "What happened to this child? Maybe I can help you."
Standing by the bridge, the woman looked at the river flowing quietly under the night sky. After a long while, she spoke: "Do you know what happened? It means using one child's life to exchange for the healthy growth of another child. I don't know the details. I only know that my parents took Wenwen's sister away when Wenwen was about to be born. They left at midnight and came back at dawn."
"Didn't Wenwen's sister come back with them?"
The woman shook her head. "My parents only brought back half a bowl of water full of impurities. They woke up Wenwen's mother and forced her to drink it."
"Water full of impurities?"
"Yes, it was very cloudy, and there was blood on the rim of the bowl."
"Didn't Wenwen's mother resist? Did she just let them control her?" Chen Ge discovered that there were very few things about Wenwen's mother in that house.
"Her mother used to be from the same village as us. She was in a car accident and lost a leg. My parents took her in on the condition that she give birth to a healthy child for my brother." The woman paused and said, "My parents decided privately to use Wenwen's sister as a seed. They didn't tell anyone. Wenwen's mother didn't even know that the bowl of water she drank contained her child's blood."
"What happened next?" Chen Ge couldn't bear to listen any further. He didn't know how to evaluate this family.
"Wenwen's sister didn't come back, so my parents used the excuse that the child was sent back to their hometown and asked someone to take care of her. A few days later, Wenwen was born. My family went to the hospital and found out that the child was a boy, so everyone was very happy until the moment before the child was born." The woman laughed miserably, "But retribution soon came. The child was born, not only a girl, but also with a slight deformity in the head, as if there was a face behind the head. After the doctor examined her, he found that the child had a genetic disease. My parents couldn't stand the shock and left home on a rainy night."
"Didn't they tell Wenwen's mother about the first child?"
"My father was mentally ill, physically deformed, and had a bad temper. My mother was also physically disabled. They had had enough of the cold stares and ridicule. Their lives were very tiring and difficult, so they didn't want such things to happen to the next generation. But the final result proved that they were deceived, and all the so-called things were useless. I don't know where they went after they left that night. Anyway, I never saw them again from that day on." The woman acted very painful at first, but she calmed down as she spoke, as if she had become numb: "My parents and Wenwen's sister are gone, my husband is a fool, and the second child is also a fool. Wenwen's mother couldn't bear the pressure and left with all the money in the family. That day happened to be my twentieth birthday."
Chen Ge wanted to comfort the woman, but he didn't know how to start.
"I'm almost 30 now. I don't need anyone's sympathy or help. I just hope Wenwen can grow up healthy, that's all." The woman walked to Chen Ge and hugged Wenwen: "Give her to me. I want to take her home."
