Chapter 285: 285
"Now is not the time to speculate who the killer is . That is the police's job . " The nurse sighed . "I'm more worried about Jiang Ling's therapy . "
"I'll handle that, but you have to give me some time . " Chen Ge had a brief understanding of the story . The case described by the nurse had many inconsistencies, and they demanded a closer look .
"You'll handle it? You'll bring Fan Yu away with you?"
"I mean, I'll cure Jiang Ling's sickness . " Chen Ge was the one who was most familiar with Fan Yu . He knew that the boy had not lied .
The nurse was baffled . "How are you going to cure her? You're not a doctor . "
"Letting me try is no skin off your back anyway . " Chen Ge ignored the nurse and walked back into the bedroom . He had a wealth of experience dealing with baleful specters and knew how to gain their goodwill .
The death of their parents should be the source of the problem within Jiang Ling and her sister . Finding the murderer and bringing them to justice should gain me the affection of the sisters .
From Fan Yu's painting, Jiang Ling's sister did not seem to be that weak, she might even be a Red Specter . If he could build a good relationship with her or even invite her to join the Haunted House, Chen Ge would not be so worried during this period when Zhang Ya was in her slumber .
Chen Ge tried to communicate with Jiang Ling, but the little girl ignored him other than occasionally using a fearful gaze to look at him .
"What do you want to know? I'll ask . " Fan Yu walked to the girl and pointed at Chen Ge . "He's a good guy; he can also see your big sister . "
"Really?" The little girl turned to Chen Ge with innocence, and Chen Ge nodded quickly . Using this chance, Chen Ge asked the girl several questions and promised that he would help her find her sister . Jiang Ling was very happy when she heard Chen Ge say that . She even gifted the flattened spider to Chen Ge, saying that was what her sister looked like .
Chen Ge did not reject the child's kindness . Carefully, he slid the spider's body into a plastic bottle and kept it on him . After their relationship got close, Chen Ge tried to get more information from the girl .
However, the more he asked, the more confused he became . Perhaps due to her young age, she could not remember much, and most of the things that she said did not make sense . In the end, Chen Ge only managed to get the girl's former address and her sister's name—Zhu Xingrou .
Chen Ge left the Children's Home with the accompaniment of the nurse at 9 pm . After retuning to New Century Park, Chen Ge packed his backpack with the hammer and Xiao Xiao . He planned to visit the address that Jiang Ling had given him that night .
I should bring this with me—perhaps it might be useful . Chen Ge shoved the plastic bottle with the spider into the backpack as well . Then he called a taxi to head for Lin Guan Village, which sat at the edge of Western Jiujiang's district limit .
While he was inside the taxi, Chen Ge tried to give Inspector Lee a call to see whether he could get some information on the case, but to his surprise, his phone was not on .
Is he on a mission? Chen Ge looked at his watch . Being a cop these days is not easy .
Chen Ge finally arrived at Lin Guan Village at around 11:30 pm . The place was so isolated . It was carved into the mountains, and the roads leading there had only been repaired a few years ago . The winds in the mountain were cold . There was no light even though it was just 11 pm . The people there either had a habit of sleeping early or the place was completely deserted .
There's not even a streetlight or a convenience store; how am I supposed to ask for directions? The place the girl mentioned should be further inside the mountain, but it will be easy for me to get lost if I wander into the mountain alone . Chen Ge realized how complicated things were when he arrived at the destination . He walked into the village using the recently repaired asphalt road .
