Every child chosen by the ghost fetus has defects, and Chen Ge should be no exception, but the things he lost may be different from those of other children.
Memories, shadows, and even parents, Chen Ge had lost too much, and he himself couldn't be sure.
"There are seven more nights, and the truth is getting closer and closer to me."
After leaving Xijiao Special Needs College, Chen Ge returned to New Century Park. Things had been dealt with, and he now needed to have a good rest.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Chen Ge's phone suddenly vibrated. "Jiang Ming" sent him a message.
"I'm home already."
This was the signal agreed upon by the mobile phone ghost, Men Nan and Chen Ge. After Chen Ge received it, he stuffed all the employees he could bring with him into his backpack and ran out of the haunted house.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Ge arrived at the city center. He did not go directly to the residential area where Jiang Ming lived, but ate at a nearby restaurant.
At half past ten, Chen Ge received the second message from "Jiang Ming".
Only then did he set off and slowly walked towards the neighborhood where Jiang Ming lived.
He had already marked the spots yesterday and knew where the blind spots of surveillance were.
At 11:20 pm, Chen Ge received the third message from "Jiang Ming". He immediately took action and directly climbed over the fence into the community. The whole set of actions was completed in one go and only took a few seconds.
Chen Ge walked towards a building with his backpack. At the same time, Jiang Ming ran out of the corridor in a hurry and headed for the underground parking lot of the community.
After Jiang Ming drove away, Chen Ge walked to the entrance of the residential building. The anti-theft door installed in the corridor was opened from the inside. Men Nan stuck his head out: "The plan went smoothly. Jiang Ming has been completely fooled by the mobile phone ghost."
"Is the child asleep?"
"Well, take me upstairs."
Chen Ge's entire plan was very simple. After the child in Jiang Ming's family fell asleep, the mobile phone ghost would imitate Jiang Jiu and give him various instructions through Jiang Ming's mobile phone, making him run around tonight.
"The locks in the corridor and his home are all password locked. I had memorized the password when he opened the door." Men Nan led Chen Ge to the fourth floor and opened the door.
"Wait a moment." Chen Ge took out the prepared shoe covers and gloves from his backpack and put them on before entering the house.
Although this is one of the most high-end residential areas in Hanjiang, the decoration of Jiang Ming's house is very ordinary. Many of the furniture are broken and old, which does not match the overall style. It feels like they deliberately placed those old furniture in the most conspicuous place.
"Jiang Jiu didn't contact Jiang Ming all day today. He behaved very normally, just like an ordinary park employee."
"Does Jiang Ming have any information about the child in his phone? For example, who the child's mother is, and when did the child start to have problems with his ears?" Chen Ge whispered.
"The phone is clean. There are no clues or photos related to the child."
"That means the existence of that child is a secret. If Jiang Ming's ex-girlfriend hadn't seen it by accident, no one would have known that Jiang Ming had a child with the same name as him."
“That’s understandable.”
There was no information about the child, so Chen Ge could only search the house for clues. In order to save time, he also released the three brothers.
There was no light in the room, and dark shadows were flickering.
A few minutes later, Chen Ge actually made a discovery. He found a crumpled letter in the trash can in the study.
The content of the letter was roughly that the sender needed more money, and if he didn't give it, he would take the child away and not let the child live here anymore.
"Using the child as a bargaining chip?" Chen Ge looked at the letter: "The child lives with Jiang Ming, but there is no information about the child's mother. Could the person who sent this letter be the child's mother? Is this child Jiang Ming's biological child?"
Chen Ge and his employees were all standing in the study. They had gained nothing else except this letter.
"Whether the child is a biological one or not, there must be something in this family that can prove the child's identity. Did Jiang Ming put these things with Jiang Jiu? Or is there a secret room in the house?"
After searching again, Lao Zhou finally found a hidden safe behind the bookshelf.
For Chen Ge, he didn't need to open the safe to take out the things inside, he just needed to let the employees enter the safe to check.
Ten seconds later, Lao Zhou crawled out from the gap in the safe: "This child has no blood relationship with Jiang Ming and Jiang Jiu. Someone is fostering him in their home. There is a foster care agreement in the safe. As long as the couple agrees to let the child live here, Jiang Jiu will pay them 5,000 yuan a month. Looking at the signature, the child's biological father is called Jiang Dawu."
"Any other findings?"
"There is a clay sculpture in the safe with the words Jiang Ming written on it. It is certain that Jiang Ming is one of the children chosen by the ghost fetus. In addition, there is the child's identity certificate in the insurance. His real name is Jiang Ming, but it was the employee of Virtual Future Park who changed his name." Old Zhou sorted out his thoughts: "Jiang Jiu's godson was originally named Jiang Wei, and he changed his name to Jiang Ming when Jiang Ming was fostered in his home."
"Why did the adult change his name to be the same as the child's? Does he want to take away something that belongs to Jiang Ming? There is nothing to take away from the child, except the evil fetus." There is no love without reason in the world. Jiang Jiu must want to get something from the child, so he raises it in his own home.
"Maybe Jiang Jiu wants to plot against the ghost fetus. He wants to be the father of the ghost fetus." Lao Zhou analyzed.
"The evil souls in Jiang Jiu and Jia Ming were left behind by the ghost fetus. He should not have the courage to disrupt the layout of the ghost fetus." Chen Ge thought from his own perspective. As long as he was a normal person, he would not choose to have anything to do with the ghost fetus.
"That's not necessarily true. What if Jiang Jiu underestimates the horror of the ghost fetus, and the ghost fetus underestimates the greed of the living."
"That makes sense." Chen Ge nodded to Lao Zhou with great appreciation. He felt that Lao Zhou had a promising future. "The mobile phone ghost's trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain can only be used once. When Jiang Ming and Jiang Jiu meet and communicate in the morning, they will definitely find the problem. So we only have this one chance tonight."
There were no other clues in the house, so Chen Ge decided to go and see the child himself.
Chen Ge gently pushed open the bedroom door and looked into the room. The little boy had fallen asleep. He didn't even notice that there were several more "people" in the room.
In order to prevent Jiang Ming from waking up suddenly and being frightened, Chen Ge put Lao Zhou and the others into the comic book and only went into the cabin with Men Nan.
On the surface, this child looked very ordinary, no different from other children, and could not be associated with the terrifying ghost fetus in any way.
Chen Ge and Men Nan walked to the window and waited until midnight.
Things slowly changed in the room, and a door appeared silently beside the boy's bed.
