Chapter 593: The Drowned Man's Coat



Chen Ge has not recovered from the breath-holding for too long.

His head was dizzy, but even in this state, he still held tightly to the coffin lid and the rope that pierced the doll's heart.

After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Ge finally adjusted his state and looked at the screen of his mobile phone.

"Twin Water Ghosts (difficulty level 2), 100% mission completion, obtain the hidden item reward Drowned Man's Coat."

“Drowning Man’s Coat (Grudge Value 17): There are things under the water. They slowly crawled into my clothes and dragged me into the deep water.”

"The mission is 100% complete. It seems that the hole under the reservoir was not included in the Twin Water Ghosts mission by the black phone." Chen Ge put away the black phone, and there were still many questions in his mind: "The coffin is stuck in the middle of the hole. Is it to block the hole?"

Chen Ge had previously discovered that Xu Yin did not dare to approach the rear of the coffin lid, and he thought the secret of the coffin might be hidden on the lid.

After putting on his clothes, Chen Ge placed the coffin lid across the boat: "I definitely can't carry this thing back, and the taxi probably won't let me get in with the coffin lid. I have to think of a way."

The coffin lid that Chen Ge fished out from the water was much smaller than a normal coffin lid. The surface was already rotten and had some red spots on it. It was unclear whether they were the corpses of insects or some withered aquatic plants.

After removing the things on the surface of the coffin lid, Chen Ge made a surprising discovery at the tail of the coffin lid.

There was an evil ghost carved on the rotten wooden board. The ghost was wrapped in chains and had six eyes. It was almost the same as the evil ghost carved by the Ghost Story Association on the door of the haunted house.

"The Ghost Story Association held a ceremony, killing people and digging out their eyes, and finally made something like this on the door of my haunted house. They wanted to occupy the door of my haunted house at that time, so this evil ghost pattern should have the effect of guarding the 'door'." Chen Ge took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the evil ghost pattern: "The coffin is stuck in the cave entrance, and the evil ghost is engraved on the coffin lid. Could this arrangement be to guard the cave under the reservoir? To prevent the things inside from escaping?"

Using a coffin to guard the cave, this idea was probably only possible for Chen Ge.

"The black phone tasked me with recovering the body, which means it should have considered that I would take the coffin with me. So even if there is something terrible hidden in the cave, it will not pose a threat to me." It would be impossible for Chen Ge to return the coffin lid after taking it out. Chen Ge just found an excuse for himself: "The coffin is likely to be placed by Dongjiao's mastermind. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. It doesn't want the monster in the cave to come out, but I have to let it out."

Chen Ge had no idea what was in the cave, nor did he know which direction the cave led to.

To be honest, he was not curious at all at the moment. He just wanted to get away from this place first, in case something really ran out and vented its imprisoned anger on him.

When Chen Ge was about to row away, a dark shadow appeared on the calm water.

"I almost forgot about her."

The shadow stuck to the edge of the boat, and wisps of black hair floated out of the water, spreading toward the inside of the boat as if it had life, and finally crawled into a doll.

Picking up the doll casually, Chen Ge discovered that this doll was different from the other dolls. She was wearing a bloodstained skirt, her hair was real human hair, and the name carved on her back was also blood red.

"Zhao Shuang'er? This doll is Wenwen's sister?" The twin water ghosts' mission has been successful, but there are still many puppets on the boat.

"All the dolls have names engraved on their backs. Each of them represents a life." When underwater, Chen Ge could feel the children's fear and anxiety. They were still young, and most of them had not seen the world properly.

"There are too many things involved in this matter. I'm afraid I can't handle it alone. I'd better tell Captain Yan and the others." Ninety percent of the missing people in Jiujiang every year are in the eastern suburbs. If they all died because of Shadow's plan, then the number would be very terrifying.

I took out the doll that Sister Wenwen was hiding. I found that there was a strange thing on the doll: its clothes were always wet.

Chen Ge was worried that she would get the comic book wet, so he stuffed it into his pocket.

After calling back all the ghosts, Chen Ge rowed the boat back to the shore.

Zhang Dapo was relieved to see Chen Ge return safely. He was really getting anxious on the shore.

The man in front of him not only ran to the reservoir alone in the middle of the night to retrieve the body, but also jumped into the deep end of the reservoir without any safety measures. He felt terrified just watching from the shore, and was afraid that the fish king would suddenly appear and attack Chen Ge.

"Brother, give me a hand." The boat reached the shore, and Chen Ge pushed the coffin toward the river bank.

"What is this?" Zhang Daopo was a down-to-earth man. He grabbed the coffin lid and dragged it toward the shore with all his strength.

"The coffin lid. I found it under the reservoir."

"Coffin?" Zhang Dapo lost his balance when he heard Chen Ge's words and almost fell to the ground. "Didn't you go to retrieve the body? Why are you dragging the coffin lid up here?"

"There are four bodies under the reservoir. I can't handle it by myself. I'd better call the police and let professionals handle it."

"Four, four?" Zhang Dapo couldn't believe that there were so many bodies hidden in the reservoir he usually guarded.

Chen Ge moved all the things on the boat to the river bank, and his cell phone happened to ring at this time.

"Should we call the police now?" Zhang Daopo looked at the coffin lid with dull eyes and a little panicked.

"No hurry, I'll take a call first." The person who called Chen Ge was Li Zheng. Before, when Chen Ge saw Huang Ling's husband, he sent messages to Captain Yan and Li Zheng, but maybe it was too late, so they did not reply immediately.

After pressing the answer button, Chen Ge heard Li Zheng's voice before he could even speak.

"Chen Ge, you said Huang Ling's husband is a murder suspect? How sure are you?"

"100%. I suggest you catch him as soon as possible. He is very dangerous. The longer you delay, the worse it will be." Chen Ge said with certainty, "There is one more thing. I found four female corpses at Donggang Reservoir."

"Donggang?"

"Yes, under the water. When I went down to investigate, Huang Ling's husband was also nearby."

Li Zheng did not ask Chen Ge why he went to the reservoir in the middle of the night to look for bodies. He directly replied to Chen Ge: "Wait there, our people will be here soon."

"Thank you for your hard work." After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge glanced at Zhang Dapo who was in a daze next to him and said, "Brother, the police will be here soon. I may trouble you again later."

"It's not a problem. Just let me know if there's anything I can help you with." After what happened just now, Zhang Daopo looked at Chen Ge with a different look in his eyes.

At 3:10 in the morning, the duty personnel from the Dongjiao Police Station and the police from the Municipal Branch arrived at the same time.

At the same time, Chen Ge received another call from Li Zheng.

"Chen Ge, something is not right. I went to Huang Ling's house and found that she was mentally ill and her husband was not at home."

"You should be able to determine his route by following the surveillance cameras near the Donggang Reservoir. This person is very important and dangerous. You must be careful when looking for him."
