Chapter 308 - I Want to Go Take a Look (2/2)

“What are you carrying? Why do I hear a cat meowing?” Ol’ Wei started the car. He had been on the same team as Captain Yan for the poisoning case, so he knew the village’s location.

“My cat can protect us from curses.”

“Whatever you say.”

…

At 10 pm, they finally arrived at Lin Guan Village. As the car stopped, Chen Ge jumped out of the car and raced into the village with the white cat trailing behind him.

“Wait for me!” Ol’ Wei parked the car, and when he looked out, Chen Ge had already disappeared. Chen Ge took out Fan Yu’s drawing and compared it to the buildings inside the village.

There was a road leading to Lin Guan Village, but it was a halted project. It ended at the entrance to the village. The surrounding buildings were abandoned, and all the houses were locked.

It’s only just gone ten, but the village is already completely dark.

Similar to his last visit, Chen Ge could not see another living person inside the village.

“Don’t wander around like this; you’re going to cause unnecessary misunderstanding.” Ol’ Wei finally caught up to Chen Ge and quickly rushed over to drag him out of the village.

“Then what do you suggest we do?”

“How about we find someone to ask?” Ol’ Wei knocked on one of the doors. Initially, the man had a bad attitude, but after Ol’ Wei showed his badge, the villager obediently opened the door and welcomed them in.

“Did you see a middle-aged man around thirty leading two kids into Lin Guan Village today?” Ol’ Wei asked directly.

“A child-kidnapper?” Their host was an honest farmer.

“Just answer the question.”

“No, people rarely come to this place anymore.” When they were talking, Chen Ge looked around the room. There was a small shrine, and on top of it was a black-and-white picture of an old day. Other than that, the place was a normal farmer’s home.

“Look at this drawing, does this village have something similar?” Chen Ge placed Fan Yu’s drawing before the farmer.

He scratched his head. “What is this? Is that a shelf beside the house?”

“That’s a coffin.” Chen Ge said and this caused the other two to go silent.

“Who would leave a coffin by the door. We don’t have that here.” The farmer sneaked a look at Chen Ge. For some reason, he felt afraid of the man.

“I’ll ask you another question, do you know Coffin Village inside the mountain?”

When Chen Ge said Coffin Village, the farmer’s eyes twitched, and he grabbed the water to hide his panic. “Why are you asking that? The place was cursed by an epidemic. Those who didn’t die escaped. None of the villagers here dare bring up that name lest we too get cursed.”

“Looks like you do know about the village. Do you know where it is?” Chen Ge spoke calmly, but his gaze was scary. “I want to go to take a look.”
