Chapter 588 - Using the City as a Womb (2/2)

“Is someone there?” He knocked lightly on the manager’s door. Ten seconds later, the light inside came on.

“Who is it?” With an alarmed voice, the man inside got out of bed but did not open the door.

“Brother Zhang, we met each other earlier. There was someone fishing for the King Fish, yes? It was me who returned the man’s fishing rod.”

“I think I remember you, why did you come back so late at night?” Probably thinking that Chen Ge sounded familiar, his alertness went down.

“I want to borrow a boat.” Just as Chen Ge finished, the door opened.

The manager was wearing a large coat, and he looked shocked. “Borrow a boat?”

“Yes, I have something to confirm and need to salvage something from the water.” Chen Ge’s eyes were firm and his tone unshakeable.

“I can’t help it if you’re on your personal mission, but I can’t allow you to risk your life like that. There is a King Fish in the dam, and you want to conduct a salvage around midnight. What if there’s an accident?” Zhang Dabo shook his head.

“Zhang Brother, when I went to return the rod, I found a dead body buried at the fisher’s home. The police will probably come to find you soon.”

“They already came this morning.” Zhang Dabo looked at Chen Ge with a bitter smile. “It gave me quite the shock. After all, I’d spent so long in the company of a murderer.”

“Actually, I’ve been working with the police. You can go online and search for Western Jiujiang’s Haunted House boss. I’ve helped the police solve many big cases. I’m borrowing your boat this time to investigate some things.” Chen Ge took out his phone and opened his phone record. In his small contact list, the names with inspector, officer, and captain took up half of it.

After some more persuading, Zhang Dabo finally agreed. “I can borrow you the boat, but I don’t think I’ll be coming with you.”

“That’s fine.”

“By the way, what is it that you’re trying to salvage?” Zhang Dabo was curious.

“A dead body, a little girl’s body to be precise.”

Zhang Dabo definitely did not anticipate that answer. He rubbed his hands and didn’t know what to say.

Opening the warehouse’s door, Zhang Dabo pulled out the paddles, fish spear, and rope. “Wait here for a moment.”

He turned into the manager’s room to take out a flashlight. “This might look old, but its light can penetrate far into the darkness. If there’s any danger, wave it several times at the bank, and I… I will call the police for you.”

“Thank you.” Chen Ge threw everything into the boat, then activated the recorder and jumped into the boat as well.

“Several teams normally work together to salvage a body, are you sure that you can do this alone?” Zhang Dabo thought that Chen Ge was messing with him.

“Don’t worry, I’m not working alone either.” Finding his balance on the boat, Chen Ge opened the comic and released the vat ghost into the water.
