Chapter 0202 – Three Buildings and Thirteen Floors
Old Wang nodded, and only after half a day did he slow down, “The moment the elevator opened, I was really scared, my mind went blank.”
”What happened afterward? Did that white shadow attack you?”
”She ran away directly after seeing me, what still puzzles me is that there was no footsteps at all when she ran!” Old Wang’s gaze flicked to Chen Ge’s cell phone from time to time, these things were the last thing he wanted to recall.
”Could you have been too nervous so you didn’t pay attention to the footsteps? Normally a person would definitely make noise while running even if they are barefoot.” Chen Ge was afraid of bringing a deeper psychological shadow to Old Wang and didn’t dare to say what he really thought inside.
”Maybe.” Old Wang himself didn’t have a whole lot of understanding, “The white shadow turned around and ran when she saw me, and I looked at her and didn’t know why she wasn’t afraid anymore, so I chased after her.”
”Ran not much far, finally witnessed her drilled into the woman’s house. When I went over, the door to her house was locked.”
”The harassed homeowner called the police, but when the police pried open the door to the woman’s house they found that there was no one in the house at all.”
”The police later found me, this is something I can not say at all, since the white shadow drilled into the woman’s house, I have been guarding the door of her house, and did not see her come out.”
”The woman only came back the next day, she gave the police that she had recently been staying at a friend’s house and hadn’t come back at all.”
Old Wang’s voice was a bit bitter: “Because of this I was even brought into the station and locked up for a night, what I said was the truth, but just no one believed it.”
Chen Ge can also understand the old king, normal people encountered such a thing will certainly be busy, his first encounter with the mirror ghost also a little panic, and then may be to see more, slowly get used to it.
”Did you see the white shadow’s face? And are there any more conspicuous features on her physical side?” Old Wang was Chen Ge’s breakthrough point, and he had just arrived at the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood, so he was lucky this time.
”I was scared silly, how could I pay attention to her looks?” The wrinkles on Old Wang’s face were squeezed together, looking much older.
”Fang Hua Yuan is also a good neighborhood in Jiujiang, your surveillance here hasn’t captured White Shadow’s body?” Chen Ge was eager to take a look at the neighborhood surveillance, maybe he could make an unexpected discovery in the surveillance camera after midnight.
”When that building first started to be haunted, the property owners communicated with the owners that they wanted to install surveillance at the corners of the various staircases, but the two sides disagreed because of the cost of installing the surveillance, the property owners wanted to let the owners share the cost of the surveillance equally, the owners reprimanded the property owners for being irresponsible, the two sides were tugging at each other, and finally only one surveillance probe was installed in the floor where the woman was located. ”
”One is enough, did this surveillance camera capture any strange images?” Chen Ge was getting curious.
”I don’t know if it’s a technical reason, or some other problem, this surveillance often inexplicably goes black at night, and then recovers on its own after ten minutes or so, and no one can say why now.” Old Wang looked at his cell phone, “What I told you is the truth, I said the same thing yesterday when the police came, it’s getting late, I’ll go back first.”
Anyone could see that Old Wang was being perfunctory, he didn’t want to continue this topic.
”Wait a moment, can you tell me which room that woman used to live in?” Chen Ge stopped in front of Old Wang.
”I’m really not joking with you, that place we don’t even go over there much on our nightly patrols now, and the owners of the entire floor have basically moved out.” Old Wang advised in a serious tone, “The police have already come to ask about it yesterday, before people investigate the results, you’d better not run to make trouble.”
After he finished speaking, he walked out towards the outside, only his footsteps were a bit unnatural.
When he was almost at the door, Old Wang beckoned Xiao Gu over again and whispered a few words in Gu Feiyu’s ear before he left at ease.
”Got it, don’t worry.”
Gu Feiyu sent Old Wang away and returned to the security booth alone, he saw Chen Ge still standing next to him and rolled his eyes, “Our captain said that we can’t let those from unknown sources in.”
”Do I look like someone of unknown origin?” Chen Ge came over to the security booth, “Is everything Old Wang said true? Has your neighborhood been haunted?”
”I don’t know, I’m new here.” Gu Feiyu was honest, it was much easier to communicate with him than with Old Wang.
”New here?” Chen Ge’s eyes rolled, “They recruited you as a night guard, so did they tell you the reason why the last night guard resigned? Do you think it could be related to the haunting?”
Gu Feiyu was originally filling out the records in the security booth, when he heard Chen Ge’s words, he stopped the pen in his hand, “What do you mean?”
”When did you know about the haunting?”
”Yesterday the police came over for questioning, and I was there when Old Wang told the police.”
”It seems you’ve been kept in the dark before, this neighborhood property is also too pitiful, you’re the only one on the night shift security, and they’re not afraid of an accident?” Chen Ge felt like a person with a sense of justice inside, the kind of person who pulls out his sword when he sees injustice: “Let’s put it this way, I won’t make it difficult for you if you have rules, this is my cell phone number, if you encounter any abnormality or danger when you are patrolling the night shift tonight you can give me a call. I’ll cooperate with your work, and I also hope you won’t reject my goodwill.”
”Goodwill? Why didn’t I see that.” Gu Feiyu muttered a few words before exchanging calls with Chen Ge.
”Remember to call me if you run into danger tonight.”
After Chen Ge finished speaking, he carried his bag around to the back door of Fang Hua Yuan and walked in like no one was watching.
”The old security guard is a bit afraid of things and refused to tell me the crazy woman’s address, so it looks like I have to trouble Wang Xin’s mother for that.”
Chen Ge walked to the side of the three newly built high buildings, he hadn’t paid attention to it the first time he came, but this time when he took another look, he actually made a special discovery.
The three residential buildings were built in finished characters, and the layout was the same as the three sick buildings in the rehabilitation center.
Chen Ge came to the entrance of building three, he didn’t specifically want to investigate building three, but Wang Xin’s family lived here.
”Building three, fourteenth floor.”
It was already dark, Chen Ge entered the residential building, and he didn’t know if it was an illusion, the temperature in this building was much lower than outside.
The first floor was cold and quiet without even a single silhouette, Chen Ge stood next to the elevator and looked at the ever-changing numbers on the elevator display.
The whole building had a total of twenty-three floors, but there were twenty-four numbers on the elevator, and Chen Ge didn’t quite understand what the extra number meant.
After the red numbers on the display changed to thirteen, it paused for ten seconds or so, then continued to decrease, as if someone had entered the elevator on the thirteenth floor.
It wasn’t long before the elevator doors opened and a woman in red high heels walked out.
She was dressed stylishly, with a tall figure, as if she were a star, and was wearing a mask and hat.
