  ”Banging your head against the wall? It seems like something ran into your head?”

  Chen Ge pondered over the middle-aged man’s words and felt that Wang Haiming’s symptoms were kinda similar to Zhang Peng’s.

  It was possible that both of them had been possessed by something dirty, only that Zhang Peng had voluntarily teamed up with the dirty thing, while Wang Haiming had chosen to struggle against it.

  Midnight is the heaviest time of the day for yin qi, and it is also the time when the filth is most active, so this also explains why he would always fall ill in the middle of the night.

  Chen Ge decided to follow this line of questioning, “Older brother, besides going crazy at night, does Wang Haiming have any other abnormal behaviors?”

  ”He looked quite normal when he was first picked up from the mental hospital, just not talkative. After spending some time together, we realized that there are many things wrong with this person. During the day it wasn’t a big deal, sometimes he would even greet people, but at night his whole personality was different. Banging his head against the wall, cursing at the mirror and the wall, choking himself, his face is suffocating purple just won’t let go.”

  Through the middle-aged man’s account, Chen Ge learned about Wang Haiming’s past.

  Wang Haiming’s second wife had cheated him out of his money and got him into a mental hospital, if this was a bureau designed in advance, then there was a high probability that Wang Haiming was normal before entering the mental hospital.

  A normal person’s entered the mental hospital, and after receiving a period of treatment, he had problems instead.

  ”The dirty things on his body should have been brought out from the mental hospital.” Chen Ge had an answer in his heart and asked another question, “Can you elaborate on Wang Haiming’s cause of death?”

  The scruffy middle-aged man raised the bottle in his hand and took a big hard gulp, “I don’t know why you are curious about a dead man, but I advise you not to investigate too deeply, be careful of getting yourself trapped, that house is a bit evil.”

  ”Thanks for the reminder, but I have a plan in mind.”

  Under Chen Ge’s repeated insistence, the middle-aged man finally told the truth: “In the past, when Wang Haiming tossed around the house, we could hear him hissing, and the neighbors would go to help, or call the police for help. But on the day of his accident, no one in the whole building heard him. It was only during the day the next day when the landlord went to bring him food that he realized the body was cold.”

  ”What was the death scene like?” Chen Ge asked one more question, which was crucial for him to restore the cause and effect of the incident.

  The middle-aged man gave Chen Ge an odd look, he couldn’t figure out why the young man in front of him would be interested in these things, “I was there at the time, Wang Haiming had a big hole knocked in his head, and the wall in the middle of room 303 and room 304 was stained with blood. His face was blue and purple, he looked like he had suffocated, and there were fingerprints left on his neck, but later the police compared them and realized that the fingerprints were left by Wang Haiming himself.”

  ”According to you, he strangled himself?”

  ”He was alone at the crime scene, the doors and windows were intact, it seems like this is the only possibility.” The middle-aged man finished the last sip of wine and casually stuffed the bottle into the shoe cabinet, “Are you done with your questioning, I’m going downstairs to buy wine while it’s still early.”

  ”While it’s still early?” Chen Ge glanced at the completely dark sky outside the window and didn’t care about the middle-aged man’s words, “One last question, after Wang Haiming’s accident, did anything strange happen in your place?”

  As soon as this question was asked, the scruffy middle-aged man’s face immediately underwent a slight change, he looked at the hundred dollars clutched in his hand and whispered towards Chen Ge, “Many of the old tenants in the building had seen that Wang Haiming had returned.”

  ”Isn’t Wang Haiming no longer around?” Without waiting for Chen Ge to finish, the middle-aged man pushed him out of the room, “Hey! Speak clearly!”

  He looked at the low, dark hallway and thought about the middle-aged man’s words in his mind, “Wang Haiming came back?”

  After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ge went back towards the first floor where the landlord was.

  Wang Haiming was most likely the person who came out from the third sick building, from him, he should be able to obtain some information about the third sick building, and based on this alone, Chen Ge would pursue it to the end. After all, there might be clues left behind by his parents hidden in the third sick building.

  Knocking on the landlord’s door, Chen Ge explained his intentions, and the landlord reacted violently.

  She warned Chen Ge that she would have to call the police if he stayed in the apartment building without leaving again.

  The iron door closed and Chen Ge stood at the entrance to the building, feeling a little helpless.

  The landlord didn’t want to recall those things, and no matter what Chen Ge said, she just wouldn’t cooperate.

  ”If I use a hammer to knock off the lock of the door of 303, with this big sister’s violent temper I guess it’s really possible to call the police.”

  Back on the third floor, Chen Ge was thinking of going inside to discuss with Dr. Gao, but he suddenly stopped when he reached the door.

  ”Why is the person in room 302 still on the phone?” A young man’s voice kept coming out of the rental house, repeating the most words – are you guys trying to force me to die?

  ”Half an hour has passed since I entered Mennan’s room, and the young man hasn’t hung up the phone in such a long time?” It was normal for the call to be long, what was perverse was that he kept repeating a few sentences with basically the same meaning for such a long time.

  ”Who is he arguing with? I’ve heard him alone for such a long time, but it doesn’t sound like he’s on the phone even by the tone of his voice?” Chen Ge leaned over the door and eavesdropped for a while, he remembered what the middle-aged man had just said, that Wang Haiming would also argue with himself when he was sick.

  ”This person has a problem.”

  He knocked on the door of the room, the quarrels in the room immediately stopped, after ten seconds or so, the door staggered open a thin slit, and a young man’s voice came out from behind the door, “Is there something wrong?”

  ”About this room 303 next to ……”

  ”I don’t know.”

  Before Chen Ge could finish his sentence, the young man closed the door to the room.

  Having asked everyone he could, Chen Ge couldn’t think of a better method for the time being, he returned to the middle of room 304, greeted Dr. Gao, and stood alone by the wall.

  ”The mission site shown on the black cell phone is room 303, I’m going to enter it before midnight to check it out.” Chen Ge rubbed his temples as he walked to the window and pushed open the window of room 304.

  Room 304 and Room 303 were right next to each other, and the windows of the two rooms were just a meter away from each other.

  ”Should be able to flip over.” He moved a chair and tried it by stepping on the edge of the window first, the window of 303 was not locked and could be opened directly.

  ”It’s not a problem to go over, but I’m afraid that if I encounter something after entering room 303, it might be too late to flip back.” Chen Ge looked down, the third floor was not too high to say high, not too low to say low, and unlike Ping An Apartment, the bottom of Haiming Apartment was not a grassy field, but a hard concrete road.
