Chapter 0024 – I caught the murderer!
Chen Ge checked the sending dates of all the text messages, all of them were after midnight in the early hours of the morning, which matched exactly with what Wang Qi had said, but this was also what Chen Ge found the most frightening.
How did a corpse that was built into a wall send text messages every night?
A psychic phenomenon? If it was really haunted by a severe ghost, then how could the few people who dug up the corpse still be alive and well now?
”Someone must be playing tricks.” Chen Ge had already connected all the clues, and it was very clear in his mind, “This person who used the dead man’s cell phone to send text messages to Wang Qi every day is the murderer of his fiancée, and at the same time, the real culprit of the extermination case five years ago.”
”I think I already know who the murderer is.” Chen Ge stood inside the house with his cell phone, “Wang Qi was treated as a lunatic by the tenants in the apartment building, and the landlord even had to drive him out every time he saw him, and this person is the only person I’ve seen this night who doesn’t live in an apartment building but always appears near the apartments, so his landing point must be very close to the apartment building.”
”But the crux of the matter is that when I had a disagreement with the landlord over the price of the room, he told me that there wasn’t any place to stay within a few thousand meters of here, which means that it’s unlikely that Wang Qi is staying in any other apartments or hotels. Thinking about it this way, there’s a high probability that he’s usually hiding in this wooden house.”
”If he is the owner of the wooden house, then everything can be explained. This poor man who holds a missing person notice and searches for his missing wife every day is actually the murderer who killed his fiancée with his own hands!”
Chen Ge couldn’t believe that he had actually talked to a murderer and tried to open the other person’s heart to communicate.
The knots in his throat rolled, and he was only a little bit scared now; “This madman must have been stimulated by something, collecting the dead man’s clothes from his life, using the dead man’s cell phone to send messages to himself, and perhaps there is a second personality hidden in his body that takes over whenever he falls asleep afterward.”
The more he thought about it, the more} human, Chen Ge slid his cell phone, trying to find out more clues, “The peach-colored cell phone should have retained his fingerprints on it, this is evidence, it must be put away.”
He looked at the screen, and he didn’t know whether it was due to excessive nervousness that caused his eyes to glaze over, or because of other reasons. Surprisingly, he saw a blurry reflection of a girl’s figure on the screen, the kid looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and was still wearing a blood-stained school uniform.
Rubbing his eyes, he was about to take a closer look when a sudden coldness came from the back of his neck, as if he had been stroked by something, and this instantaneous irritation made Chen Ge jerk his head!
The air in the cabin seemed to freeze, and looking behind himself, Chen Ge felt that his heart was about to jump out.
The door to the room had been opened at some point, silently, and more than two meters away from him, Wang Qi stared with bloodshot eyes and was slowly raising the axe in his hand!
Time seemed to stop, the two stood on both sides of the house, no one moved.
”Just a little bit ah ……” Wang Qi’s voice was completely different from before, it was a kind of suppressed madness, like a wild beast that was uncontrollable.
Chen Ge did not say anything, he gripped the tool hammer tightly, and in his heart, he held a trace of gratitude to the ghostly shadow that appeared on the screen, if it wasn’t for the stern ghost showing up and reminding him of it, maybe Wang Qi would have already hacked him up at this moment.
”What a pity.” Wang Qi took a step forward, and Chen Ge immediately shielded his hammer in front of him, “Take it easy, you saw everything in the cell phone?”
Chen Ge didn’t know what this madman had planned and was on high alert.
”It’s actually no big deal.” The fatigue on Wang Qi’s face was swept away, and he was very excited, a far cry from the very beginning, “From the first time you entered the apartment building and had a conversation with me, I said that my wife was definitely hiding inside the apartment building, how about it? I didn’t lie to you, did I?”
He picked up the clothes his fiancée had once worn with his axe, “After all, it was me who personally built her into the wall.”
Speaking Wang Qi’s tone suddenly changed, he had great mood swings, as if he had thought of something painful, he grabbed the axe and chopped hard on the dress, “I’m not at fault, what’s at fault is her, she had to leave, I just wanted to do my best to leave her behind.”
Wang Qi blocked the doorway, carrying the axe, gazing at the chopped clothes on the ground, “I didn’t want to do this, you know? I don’t want this either ……”
No matter what Wang Qi said, it couldn’t change the fact that he had killed someone, so Chen Ge didn’t take what he said to heart at all.
Grabbing the tool hammer, Chen Ge secretly put the dead man’s cell phone into his pocket, his eyes staring at the door of the cabin room, he was looking for an opportunity to escape at any time.
”I’m a very obnoxious guy, almost everyone around me says so, no, even if they don’t say it, I feel it.” Wang Qi, this person was not simply a psychopath, he also had serious mental problems, every time he opened his mouth to speak, it was as if he was talking to himself, he seemed to have walked into a strange circle, and couldn’t climb out of it.
While Wang Qi was talking, Chen Ge slowly adjusted his angle, he simulated three or four escape scenarios in his mind, such as diverting the other party’s attention, or luring them closer, etc., but because the space in the cabin was too small, the feasibility of these scenarios was extremely low.
Wang Qi’s voice was getting sharper and sharper, and his state was very unstable.
The longer he stayed, Chen Ge felt that he would be more and more dangerous, he decided not to wait any longer or think of any messy schemes, his whole body muscles were tensed, when Wang Qi was about to lose control of his emotions and unconsciously wielded his axe, he stomped on the ground with his calves, and like a cannonball, he took the initiative to crash into Wang Qi!
Rabbits stomp on eagles when they are anxious, this should be the boldest decision Chen Ge had ever made in the first twenty years of his life, and he was even crazier than the murderer when confronted with the real murderer of the serial murder case!
The distance of two or three meters was instantaneous, in the darkness Wang Qi’s reaction was a beat slower than Chen Ge’s, with a mind to count, as early as a few minutes ago, Chen Ge had already aimed well at Wang Qi’s head.
”Boom!”
Tool hammer smashed down hard, a trace of warmth was felt on his wrist, Chen Ge kicked at Wang Qi’s abdomen again and escaped through the door!
After rushing out of the wooden house Chen Ge ran towards the dense forest, this time he found the right direction, the trees gradually thinned out and the view opened up. But the danger was still there, he could feel that someone was following him in the woods, the shaking flashlight light and the sound of tree branches constantly colliding and breaking were the best indication.
Not daring to stop for even a moment, Chen Ge played hard to get in front of him, and it was only when he saw the concrete road near the village and town that the sound behind him slowly disappeared.
”Those people should have left.” Along the cement road, Chen Ge ran for a few hundred meters more, a siren suddenly sounded in his ears, and when he looked into the distance, police lights were lit up at the end of the highway, and a few police cars came whistling.
”Saved!” He stood in the middle of the road as if he had met a long lost relative, “I’m the one who called the police! I caught the murderer of the five year old extermination case!”
