Chapter 0387 – I, Chen Ge, Enthusiastic Citizen
”When did an extra one come out?” Chen Ge was slightly stunned and immediately ran towards the girls’ dormitory.
The woman following Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying seemed to have noticed him as well, turning her head to look at Chen Ge.
Her grayish-white skin was flushed with death, and complex emotions were implied in her gaze.
”This face?” Chen Ge could see clearly that the woman following Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying was the woman who appeared outside the windowsill at the end of Ma Ying’s cell phone video!
The features and eyes were exactly the same, Chen Ge couldn’t think too much and directly rushed over.
”Be careful!”
He shouted loudly, but Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying acted as if they couldn’t hear him.
The woman with gray skin put her hands on Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying’s shoulders and leaned over their ears, whispering something to them.
The distance was too far, Chen Ge could not hear the woman’s voice clearly, he could only see Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying’s bodies gradually becoming stiff, their gazes were disoriented as if they were sleepwalking, and they walked forward with their eyes closed.
”Ma Ying! Liu Xianxian!”
It seemed like Chen Ge’s shouting had worked, the two girls slowed down, and subtle changes appeared on their face expressions, as if they were having a nightmare.
They were also struggling, but the result was different from what Chen Ge thought, the two girls ultimately didn’t wake up and fainted on the ground after taking a few steps.
The woman following them looked deeply at Chen Ge, pointed to the location of her heart, and made a strange gesture before turning around and running towards the girls’ dormitory.
The woman disappeared in the twinkling of an eye, and Chen Ge only saw a hole in her clothes at her shoulder, as if she had been pierced by a bullet.
”Why is she pointing at her heart? Is it a threat?”
Chen Ge ran to the entrance of the girls’ dormitory and tapped on the dormitory manager’s window, his earlier voice had actually woken up the dormitory manager.
”Someone fainted! Right in front of the dormitory building!”
At three or four in the morning, a man tapped on the window of the hostel manager of the girls’ apartment, and the hostel manager’s aunt was too scared to come out, so she directly took her cell phone to notify the security guards and people from the school.
……
There was a cup of water on the table that had long since cooled, Chen Ge glanced at the watch on the wall, it was now five forty in the morning.
The light shone on his body, he propped his hands on the table and calmly looked at the seven or eight people across from him.
Among them were police, security guards, and school teachers.
”I’ve said it over and over again many times, I’m not a pervert, and I didn’t knock those two girls out. You guys can question me, but please remember what you’re saying right now, and when those two girls wake up, I want you to personally apologize to me.”
”Chen Ge, we believe that you don’t have a problem, otherwise Team Yan wouldn’t have personally arranged for me to come over.” Li Zheng was wearing dark circles under his eyes, the two had just parted ways ten hours ago, and ten hours later, they had changed venues to meet again. When he saw Chen Ge now, he already had the feeling that he had met a coworker at work.
”Those two girls came to my haunted house to play during the day yesterday, I could tell that they both had something on their mind, and after inquiring about it, I realized that one of the taller girls’ sister had disappeared, and this was a piece of her mind.” Chen Ge covered his chest, “Maybe you guys think that my behavior is strange, non-relative, why should I help? But I want to tell you guys, my parents also disappeared strangely half a year ago, and sometimes you can only empathize if you’ve experienced it, so I want to help her!”
Chen Ge’s voice echoed in the office, infectious.
”More than three in the morning, two girls fainted at the entrance of the girls’ dormitory, we checked the CCTV, at that time, you were the only one following them on campus, the murderer wasn’t you, so who could it be?” The one who spoke was a man in his thirties, dressed with good taste, he usually lived among the faculty dormitories, so he immediately rushed over as soon as something happened over here.
”I didn’t see it, it could be anyone, including you.” Chen Ge had no intention of backing down at all, disliking whoever he saw, “Two girls fainted, this case doesn’t seem to be much more serious, but in fact there’s a bigger case hidden behind it.”
Chen Ge’s gaze contained a cold intent, and other than a few police officers, a few others were a bit hairy.
”As I said before, those two girls came to the haunted house to look for me, and one of them, called Ma Ying, had her sister disappear. The reason why she got into the Jiujiang Forensic Medicine University was to look for her missing sister, because her sister used to be a student here ……”
Chen Ge also told the story about Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying going out in the early hours of the morning every day to look for the sculptures in the school’s weird stories.
”Most of the urban weird stories are fictionalized, but there are also a very small number of them that have story archetypes, only to be gradually exaggerated as people continue to spread them.” Chen Ge took a sip of the water in his cup, his voice was calm, but his brain was racing, thinking of how to distract everyone’s attention.
”You mean that the strange story of the statue shedding blood and tears has a real story prototype?” Li Zheng was more familiar with Chen Ge and knew that Chen Ge wouldn’t just say anything.
”There is a video in Ma Ying’s cell phone that was sent to her before her sister disappeared, the statue in the underground warehouse that sheds tears had appeared in the video, as long as we find the owner of that statue, we can follow the trail to catch her sister’s murderer!” Chen Ge gripped the cup with both hands, veins surfacing on the back of his hands.
Everyone in the room was a bit unable to accept it, they originally thought that this was just a case of a pervert tailing a schoolgirl, but they didn’t expect that a murder would be involved.
”We’ve already found that video you mentioned.” Li Zheng’s face was odd: “The video was not shot using Ma Ying’s cell phone, when Ma Ying’s sister disappeared a few years ago, her parents specifically ran to Jiujiang to request our assistance in searching for her, and at that time, they had provided that video, but after the relevant technicians authenticated it, the video was not sent by Ma Ying’s sister at all, but was shot by Ma Ying herself. ”
”Ma Ying shot it herself?” Things were not quite the same as what Chen Ge had thought.
”That’s right, to be precise, on the day Ma Ying’s sister disappeared, Ma Ying was with her, but Ma Ying couldn’t recall anything from that day.” Li Zheng flipped through his cell phone, “We have the case file on our side, and her parents often came over to inquire about it in the first few years, until recently they gave up.”
Li Zheng sighed softly, “When Ma Ying’s sister disappeared, Ma Ying wasn’t even in college yet, and now she’s about to graduate herself.”
”No wonder she’s been in a hurry to find her sister recently.” Chen Ge felt a trace of discomfort in his heart after hearing Li Zheng’s words, he turned the cup in his hand and suddenly remembered something, “The video was shot from the first viewpoint, a murder had obviously occurred in the house, I had already concluded that there were other victims in the house at the first moment I saw the video.”
”It’s now certain that the video wasn’t transmitted to her by her sister, but that she shot it herself.”
”That means it was her who was hiding under the bed and filming at the time! And the victim in the house at the time was her sister!”
”The murderer was in the house, how did she manage to escape?”
”In the last second of the video, she saw the woman on the windowsill, so is it possible that the strange woman saved her?”
”She lost a day’s worth of memories, it’s very likely that the strange woman did it intentionally as well, that woman didn’t want Ma Ying to recall these things.”
Thinking of this, Chen Ge stood up at once: “Have Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian woken up yet? Go and take a look at the two of them, I suspect that the two of them might have forgotten what happened last night!”
The one who followed Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying into the girls’ dormitory tonight was the woman who was lying on the window sill a few years ago, a few years ago she was able to make Ma Ying lose her memory, then a few years later today she can still make Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian forget the past for a short period of time.
”Don’t worry, I’ll call the doctor right away.” Li Zheng dialed a certain number, “Dr. Zhang, are those two girls awake? Is it convenient for us to go over there now?”
The doctor’s not too optimistic voice came out from the other side of the phone, “The people have woken up and there’s nothing serious, it’s just that the two of them seem to have suffered some kind of stimulation and are not too mentally stable.”
”Good, then we’ll go over right away.” Li Zheng and another police officer led the way in front, the security guards of the School of Forensic Medicine and the male teacher who was very clean surrounded Chen Ge in the center, still seeming to be uneasy about Chen Ge.
Several people came to the infirmary together, Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying were lying on the hospital beds, their faces a little pale.
”Feeling better? Regarding what happened last night, I have a few questions I want to ask you guys.” Li Zheng moved a chair and just sat next to the hospital bed when he saw Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying shaking their heads at the same time.
”Last night, we stayed in the dormitory room, and we don’t know how we ran out into the corridor, we don’t have any impression.”
”You two think about it again, last night the three of us went inside the underground warehouse together, and in the end it was me who sacrificed my life to save you!” Chen Ge squeezed his way to the front of the hospital bed, he was tugged by the security guards and doctors next to him, those people seemed to be worried that Chen Ge would scare the two girls.
Strangely enough, Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying, who were originally pale, were much calmer after seeing Chen Ge, as if the man in front of them could make them feel at ease.
”I don’t remember what happened last night, but I don’t feel any malice from him.” Ma Ying held her head, “It seems like I really forgot something very important.”
Liu Xianxian’s impression of Chen Ge was deeper than Ma Ying’s, probably because she was carried all the way by Chen Ge, and now even though part of her memory was missing, when she looked at Chen Ge, she still felt that Chen Ge was a very good and reliable person.
”He helped Ma Ying and I last night, I can’t recall exactly what happened, I only know that if it wasn’t for him, both Ma Ying and I might have been in danger of losing our lives.” Liu Xianxian’s tone was very certain, she even smiled at Chen Ge when she finished and added a small thank you.
”You already said that last night.”
Chen Ge’s eyes gently narrowed, the two girls’ lack of memory was definitely related to the woman with gray skin.
He clearly saw last night that the woman leaned over and said something in Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying’s ears, and then the two girls seemed to have started sleepwalking.
”Being able to hide a certain part of your memory, this is the first time I’ve seen this kind of ability.” Chen Ge pondered silently in his heart as he looked at Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian and thought of another person – Old Wei, a police officer who was about to retire.
That policeman had entered the Living Coffin Village with Chen Ge and seemed to have encountered No. 10 of the Weird Tales Association at the last minute, and further on, a part of his memory was missing.
”Old Wei has the same symptoms as Liu Xianxian and Ma Ying! Does this mean that he also met that gray-skinned woman at that time? The woman surnamed Zhu said that Number 10 was carrying a corpse on his back, could it be that gray-skinned woman that Number 10 of the Weird Tales Association was carrying!”
When Chen Ge asked the sculpture about the Weird Talk Association in the underground warehouse, the spirit in the sculpture directly disappeared and was able to tell that the underground corpse warehouse seemed to be related to the Weird Talk Association as well.
”The Weird Talk Association holds more than one door in their hands, one of them is the blood door of the third sickbay, is it possible that the other one is the door to the underground corpse vault?”
Chen Ge was surprised by his own thoughts, and he felt that he was getting closer to the true identity of the president of the Weird Talk Association!
”Number ten should be very familiar with the Jiujiang Medical College.”
Knowing the Jiujiang Medical College well, having seen the mask of his own skull crushing doctor, and having participated in the investigation of individual cases, Chen Ge suddenly remembered someone in his mind when he thought of this.
”He Feng!”
When the Midnight Escape Scene first opened, several students from Heshan and Jiujiang Forensic Medicine Schools came to visit, and the tallest and oldest one among them was He Feng.
At that time, Chen Ge saw that this person was calm and collected and didn’t panic when things went wrong, and exchanged phone numbers with him with each other, preparing to develop into a teammate for his own Spirit Detection Live broadcast.
”It can’t really be him, right?”
Chen Ge was thinking about it when Liu Xianxian’s eyes on the hospital bed suddenly turned red as she looked at a certain direction of the crowd.
Following her gaze, Chen Ge realized that the cleanly dressed man was averting his gaze and pretending to be calm.
”So this is the person Liu Xianxian likes.”
Maybe it was because of the lover’s eyes, the perfect man in Liu Xianxian’s eyes was nothing but a good dresser in Chen Ge’s opinion.
”The one-star mission for the black cell phone is not yet completed, this man needs to be paid more attention to.”
Ma Ying and Liu Xianxian personally proved for Chen Ge, they both said that Chen Ge did not have any malicious intent, plus Li Zheng stepped in, this matter was finally put to rest.
At dawn, Li Zheng led the security guards from the School of Forensic Sciences into the underground warehouse and took out the sculpture.
Then they contacted the people in the new campus of the Medical University and started to investigate who actually put the sculpture into the underground warehouse.
At this point there was nothing left for Chen Ge to do, and he took advantage of the fact that no one else was paying attention and slipped out of the School of Forensic Medicine with his bag on his back.
As he was about to take a taxi to leave, he suddenly realized that the man Liu Xianxian liked had also snuck out.
”It’s the busiest time for the Forensic Science Institute, where is he rushing off to if he’s not helping out in the school?” Chen Ge hid in the middle of the convenience store and waited for the man to get into the car before stopping a car himself to follow the man.
The cab drove for ten minutes and finally stopped at the entrance of the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood.
”I heard Li Zheng say, hasn’t this person always lived in the faculty dormitory? What’s he doing in Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood?”
Chen Ge didn’t have too good an impression of Fang Hua Yuan, he got out of the car and quietly followed behind the man.
