“That’s not impossible. We have procedures to follow.” Captain Yan picked up the record that Lee Zheng had made. “On the way here, I logged into the case file on the server, and the case you mentioned did have many loopholes.”

“There are many things hinging on this case, and I fear it is related to a large child kidnapping ring. That is why I’m so worried.” Chen Ge rushed through his words, but he did not reveal everything that he knew.

“It is because this case is so big that we have to be careful.” Captain Yan looked at the record, and his fingers tapped the table absent-mindedly. “The situation in the case is similar to what you described, but there is something that confuses me. When the killer was dropped at the door of the station, he was fully unconscious, and the doctor said that he suffered from great mental trauma…”

Chen Ge realized what Captain Yan was getting at, and he stressed firmly, “Perhaps that came from all the times he has kidnapped children, and the guilt has been eating at him.”

“Sounds like he was already half-mad when you caught him,” Captain Yan added this observation to the record.

“No matter who asks, that is my answer because that is the truth.” Chen Ge’s reaction was fact, and he knew what Captain Yan meant.

Nodding, Captain Yan put away Chen Ge’s written record and passed it to Lee Zheng. “Bring this along. I’ll go make a few more calls.”

Taking out his phone, Captain Yan left the office to make some calls.

“The old ginger is the spiciest.” Chen Ge looked at Captain Yan, and he realized something. When he was dealing with other officers like Lee Sanbao or Lee Zheng, when they came into a problem that they were not certain with, they would say that they had to wait for orders from above, but Captain Yan had never said something like that.

Three minutes later, Captain Yan pushed the door open. “Lee Zheng, go and get the car. We’ll go with Chen Ge.”

“Okay.” Things went smoother than Chen Ge expected. At 8:30pm, they reached Eastern Jiujiang’s prison. After showing the necessary documents, they were led by an officer to a prison cell.

“Ma Fu is temporarily in isolated quarantine. He’s half dumb and half mad, probably knowing he is going to get the chair.” The officer also knew why Ma Fu had been sent there, so he had no pity for freaks like that. “Be careful of your safety during interrogation. People on death row have nothing to lose.”

The few shared some words outside the cell. Ma Fu probably heard them because there were footsteps from the room and then loud banging sound on the door. “Help me! Let me out! They have returned! Ghosts! There are ghosts in this room!”

It was a middle-aged man’s voice, and the parts of his sentence did not add up.

“You’ll get used to it. When the man was first sent here, he did not even dare to use the covers and wear the clothes. Every night, he would lean against the wall and fall asleep buck naked.” The officer frowned at the memory.

“Didn’t dare to use the covers, afraid of wearing clothes?” This was the first time that Lee Zheng had heard something like that, and he turned to Chen Ge subconsciously. Chen Ge shook his head silently even though he knew what had really happened to Ma Fu. That night, after Chen Ge found Ma Fu, the phone spirit had used his power on Ma Fu to amplify the deepest fear in Ma Fu’s heart.

At midnight, Ma Fu, who was asleep in bed, had felt something moved under the cover. In his half-asleep state, he had looked under the cover seen an ashy child staring at him. He had woken up immediately and pulled the cover back. His bed had been surrounded by children, all of them his previous victims.
