About half an hour later, Captain Yan’s people also arrived at the scene. They were the ones who were tasked to follow up on the Third Sick Hall’s case.
“You’re Chen Ge?” The one leading was a large young man.
“Yes.” Chen Ge had not seen this man before, so he likely was not a normal police officer at the station.
“Come with us. Before the victim is conscious, we’ll be responsible for your safety.” The content was polite, but the tone was not. Chen Ge saw the surreptitious signal that Inspector Lee gave him, and he relaxed enough to follow this group of people to the hospital.
At 11:30 pm, Gu Feiyu awoke and told the police everything that happened. When Chen Ge tackled the mad woman, he still had half a wisp of consciousness left to remember seeing Chen Ge.
He had thought that he was going to die. This experience was something Gu Feiyu would never forget for life. Under his fervent demand, the police found Chen Ge and arranged for the two to meet. Meeting Chen Ge again, Gu Feiyu’s expression and tone were completely different from the first time they met. The young man was a man of simple beliefs. Holding Chen Ge’s hand, he thanked Chen Ge sincerely.
Seeing this, the police’s suspicion toward Chen Ge slowly dissipated. The leading young officer even praised him so much that Chen Ge felt rather embarrassed. At around midnight, Chen Ge exited the hospital. Standing at the empty junction, he looked at the city that was shrouded in darkness.
“I should tell them.” Holding the half-torn flyer, Chen Ge called Captain Yan.
“Xiao Chen?”
“Captain Yan, I have something to tell you.”
“Is it about Patient No. 2? Don’t worry, I got the report already. You’ve saved a human life, well done.” But Captain Yan’s tone turned serious. “But I still don’t agree with your ways of private investigation. You’re toying with your life.”
“Don’t worry, the discovery of Patient No. 2 today was pure coincidence. It won’t happen again.” Chen Ge’s voice sounded raw. “I’m calling for another purpose. When I was eavesdropping on Patient No. 2, I overheard her mention a special organization; it’s called the ghost story society.”
“Ghost story society?”
“Yes, listening to the name, it sounds like a gathering for horror story aficionados, but instead of making up stories, they only tell actual stories.”
“When you overheard this? Who was Patient No. 2 talking to? Will we be able to find the record on her phone?” Captain Yan was suspicious.
“She wasn’t talking on the phone. There was a big sister persona hiding inside this woman, so you can understand why she was talking to herself.” Chen Ge kept the half-torn flyer. “I suspect that this society is formed by the mental patients who escaped from the third sick hall, and the woman is probably one of the members.”
“A ghost story society founded by a bunch of mental patients?” Captain Yan thought about it and told Chen Ge seriously, “I will have my people follow up on this. If you have any more information, please remember to call me.”
“Of course.”
