Chapter 0384 – It was still here just now

　　The two girls huddled together, their backs pressed tightly against the wall, nodding their heads repeatedly after hearing what Chen Ge said.

　　”There’s no need to be nervous, you guys answer whatever I ask, just tell the truth.” Chen Ge shook the skull crushing hammer in his hand, “I won’t hurt you guys, unless you deliberately lie to deceive me.”

　　”Just ask, we will definitely tell you everything we know.” Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian’s faces were pale, their bodies trembled gently, and their speech was a little sloppy.

　　”What are your names? Which dormitory do you live in? Who is the counselor?” Chen Ge wanted to test the other party first based on his known information.

　　The two girls honestly told Chen Ge their information, all of it, whether Chen Ge asked or not.

　　”It seems like just ordinary students, so why did you guys run to this place late at night?”

　　”There’s a legend about the sculpture on campus, if you find it after midnight early morning, you can ask it a question.” Ma Ying told Chen Ge the reason why she and Liu Xianxian came here, and in order to prove that what she said was true, she even took her phone out to show Chen Ge the video.

　　It was the first time Chen Ge had seen the video that Ma Ying’s sister had left behind before she disappeared, the victim was hiding under the bed and secretly filming, it seemed that a vicious case had just happened in the house, and there were bloodstains left everywhere.

　　The entire video was only thirteen seconds long, and in the last second, the image was fixed on the woman on the windowsill.

　　”My sister’s disappearance should be related to that woman with the skin disease.” Ma Ying whispered.

　　”Don’t be so arbitrary, with the victim hiding under the bed to film, the quilt hanging down, and the blood-stained sheets peeking out from the gap in the cabinet door, it’s clear that a murder has just occurred in this room. That means there are other victims besides the video shooter.” Chen Ge rewatched the video again, “There is a rope hanging in the middle of the house, giving the impression that someone is trying to hang himself, but there are no chairs or other cushioning things on the floor, is the murderer trying to create the illusion that the victim committed suicide? The house is messy, but strangely those artifacts on the bookcase are neatly arranged, and the sculpture next to it doesn’t have any damage, this bedroom shouldn’t be the first crime scene.”

　　A guy who looked like a psychopathic murderer, holding a cell phone and parsing the case in a serious manner, which made both Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian a little bit uncomfortable, and they didn’t know whether they should be scared or show other emotions.

　　”The woman on the edge of the windowsill is indeed suspicious, from her muscle lines, the point of force can be seen, her feet should be stepping on something. If there are no raised places for people to stomp on outside of this room, then it means that this room is on the first floor of a certain building.” Chen Ge locked eyes with the woman’s face in the video, “Of course, the premise on which all of this is built is that the woman is not a ghost.”

　　The previous analysis was so well thought out that Ma Ying was on the verge of changing her mind about Chen Ge, when he suddenly popped out another sentence that was incomprehensible.

　　”Ghost?”

　　”Do you look at a woman’s skin color like a normal person?” Chen Ge returned the cell phone to Ma Ying.

　　”Then according to you, the murderer must be her!” Ma Ying’s body regained a little strength.

　　”Do you have some misunderstanding about ghosts? Ghosts and monsters don’t always harm people, look closely at this woman’s eyes, there is no malice in them. Besides if she was the real culprit, why didn’t she leave immediately after the murder and had to lie down at the window to peek?”

　　Ma Ying didn’t know how to refute Chen Ge, it was the first time she had seen someone who excused a ghost.

　　Squeezing a sweat in her hand, she guessed in her mind, could this man in front of her also be a ghost?

　　Chen Ge realized that Ma Ying seemed to be even more scared, and he didn’t know which of his words had poked the other person’s heart, “Alright, there are no more questions, take me to see that sculpture.”

　　”The sculpture is in the warehouse, it’s not too clean in there.” Ma Ying stammered, “It seems to be haunted.”

　　”What types of ghosts are there?” Chen Ge subconsciously asked, but his question stunned Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian again.

　　How was this going to be answered?

　　Cold sweat oozed from Ma Ying’s forehead, when a normal person heard that it was haunted, even if they weren’t scared, they should have questioned it, why would this person directly ask what types of ghosts there were? Were there even types of ghosts?

　　”I don’t really understand.” Voice trembling, Ma Ying felt tears welling up in her eyes.

　　”Take me over to take a look.”

　　Chen Ge’s voice made it impossible to refuse, and Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian didn’t even think of resisting, as the two of them helped each other and limped to a stop at the entrance of the underground warehouse.

　　”Paradise?” Chen Ge saw the two crooked words on the door, “Why would you name an abandoned warehouse Paradise? Are there many entertainment facilities inside?”

　　Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian both shook their heads, they weren’t sure.

　　”This place is a bit interesting.” Chen Ge squatted his body down and stroked the fine engravings on the wooden door, he probed his fingernails into the engravings at just the right depth, “These engravings should all have been dug out by hand.”

　　The engravings on the wooden door were so densely packed that it was uncomfortable to look at.

　　”The number of those monsters is going to be more than what I thought before.” Chen Ge pushed the door open and took a big step forward, “Where is the sculpture you guys are talking about?”

　　”Behind the row of shelves at the innermost part of the warehouse.” Ma Ying reminded in a low voice, “There seems to be strange things in the copiers and computers, and the desks, chairs, and benches moved on their own when we went in just now.”

　　”In the copier?” Ma Ying’s words managed to arouse Chen Ge’s curiosity, and he went straight to the copier.

　　The tables, chairs, and benches blocked the way, and there were white papers all over the floor, each with a man’s ghostly face printed on it.

　　”It’s so ugly looking, but hiding in the copier is a great idea.”

　　Chen Ge looked at the copier that had long stopped working, inserted the plug, and opened the computer display.

　　But strangely enough, the computer in front of him looked like it had been scrapped for a long time, and it didn’t respond even after pressing it for half a day.

　　”What’s going on?”

　　Next to the two girls were also frightened, crying out, “We really didn’t lie to you, there is indeed a ghost in this copier, I even saw it!”

　　Ma Ying lifted the cover of the copier, there was nothing inside: “Where did it go? Was it here just now?”

　　”I know you guys aren’t lying, it probably escaped early.” Chen Ge moved away the tables and chairs blocking the road, some stuck together, directly smashed them, and soon cleared the road.

　　The two girls followed behind, looking at the hammer-swinging Chen Ge, the idea of wanting to escape at all was gone from their hearts.

　　The three of them walked together to the end of the shelf, and Chen Ge finally saw the ugly sculpture.

　　”Is this the sculpture that sheds tears?”

　　”En, it can verify the truth of a sentence, if the sentence states the truth, it will shed tears of blood, the two of us have just tried it and it’s true.”

　　Chen Ge nodded, he didn’t quite understand the principle of this sculpture, but it wasn’t a problem, if you don’t understand, just ask.
