Chapter 0388 – Three Brothers Not on Fire
The man that Liu Xianxian adored was very vigilant, and it was fortunate that Chen Ge was quite skilled in tracking, which prevented him from being discovered.
”Is his home in the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood? It’s not that far from the Jiujiang Academy of Forensic Sciences, and there’s a bus, so why does he have to live at the school?”
Chen Ge didn’t dare to follow too close as he watched the man enter building number three.
”Building number three again, this doesn’t quite seem like a coincidence.”
The twenty-fourth floor of Building Three in the Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood was the headquarters of the Weird Tales Association, and it felt abnormal for this man to sneak here.
Pinpointing the time, Chen Ge also entered the third building, he knew the layout of the building very well, and after going in and pretending to be a resident here, he skillfully turned to the safe passage next to him.
He was halfway there before he realized that there was no one at the elevator door of building three.
”That man didn’t take the elevator?” Chen Ge held his breath as he entered the safe passage and didn’t hear any footsteps, just then, the sound of a door opening came from a certain direction on the first floor.
”He lives on the first floor.” Chen Ge stood sideways in the safe passage and looked in the direction where the sound of the door opening came from: “No. 3004.”
He memorized the door number and slowly walked to the door of that room, his ear pressed against the door.
The voice of a man on the phone came from inside the room, “Brother-in-law? The school side is not safe lately, there are always accidents at night, is it okay if I stay here on your side for a while first?”
”Don’t worry, won’t mess this place up, I won’t touch any of your and my sister’s things, I know how important this house is to you.”
”Okay, got it, I promise I won’t go into your study! Not touch a single thing of yours!”
The phone hung up and the man immediately changed his tone, “You think I’m willing to come? Still acting like it’s a big favor to me.”
Outside the house, the sound of the man fiercely flinging his clothes could be heard, he was mature and confident on the surface, but inside he actually hid a soul that was completely different from the outside.
With a few grumbles on his lips, the man seemed to rummage around the house for something, his movements were rough, the sound of cabinet doors and drawers being opened constantly resounded inside the house.
”That room has been redecorated and the layout is different from before, no one should be able to tell, it’s better if I check again.”
The man was walking around the house, he didn’t realize that what he had inadvertently said had already been heard by Chen Ge outside the door.
”One of the rooms in this house has been redecorated? Why would he run back to check at this juncture?”
The man’s demeanor was so abnormal that Chen Ge had initially followed the man only thinking that he was a bit strange and hadn’t associated him with murder, but now every word the man said was adding to Chen Ge’s suspicions about him.
After about a few minutes had passed, the man seemed to have found all his tools and entered another room.
The distance was too far away for Chen Ge to hear anything in the hallway.
He memorized the room number, left the third building, and circled around to the outside of the building.
Cat-hanging under the window of room 3004, Chen Ge looked toward the house.
The man was carrying a toolbox in his hand, and he was looking at the bed in the bedroom, his face green and a bit scary.
”I felt cold as soon as I came in this room, it’s been so many years, and I still can’t completely forget about it.”
While the man was surveying the bed in the middle of the bedroom, Chen Ge tapped on his cell phone video and quietly captured the bedroom layout.
This room had a lot of partitions added, so it looked cramped.
”There’s no bookcase or table, and the bed is different from the one in Ma Ying’s video, but the position of the bed hasn’t changed, and lying here on the window sill, you can just see under the bed.”
The furniture in the room had all been changed, and the internal space had also changed due to the addition of the partition, at first glance it looked completely different from what was captured in the video.
But he had overlooked a very important place, which was the window.
The man hadn’t seen Ma Ying’s video and only knew that Ma Ying had filmed the room, not knowing the specifics.
Just from the layout of the room and what the man had just said, Chen Ge was fifty percent sure that this man Liu Xianxian adored had something to do with Ma Ying’s sister’s disappearance.
He felt the skull crushing hammer in his backpack and had a feeling of stupidity.
”No, it’s still dark, it’s a bit inappropriate to do this in broad daylight.”
It was now the peak time for work, there were a lot of people in the neighborhood, and people were constantly walking out of the third building.
If Chen Ge hurt the man at this time, the other party would definitely yell and scream, and if he attracted a large group of people over, then he really couldn’t justify it.
”He works at the Jiujiang Academy of Forensic Sciences, and after the vicious incident on campus last night, he definitely has a ton of things to do today. He definitely doesn’t dare to stay at home for too long, so I guess it won’t be long before he comes out, and I’ll look for an opportunity to strike then.”
Chen Ge took out his comic book and tried to communicate with the ghosts and monsters in it, but probably because of the daylight, none of the stern ghosts responded to him.
”So desperate?”
In the end, it was Yan Danian who helped Chen Ge and personally persuaded the other three ghosts.
Looking at the hardworking Yan Dainian, Chen Ge felt that his encouragement last night was very effective, he felt a hint of vigor from Yan Dainian, which he had never felt before.
After waking up the gambler, Lao Zhou and the English teacher, Chen Ge told them the plan in his mind and asked them to “accidentally” get the man’s key into his pocket.
It was the first time for the three ghosts to do such a thing, and it was a challenge for them.
A few minutes later, just as Chen Ge expected, the man walked out of room 3004, his confident smile back on, his clothes without a single crease, and his leather shoes polished.
”Prepare to strike.”
Probably because of the stronger light in the building, the three stern ghosts could only exist for a few tens of seconds, so Chen Ge only had one chance to try.
When the man was still a few meters away from the safe passage, Chen Ge released the three stern ghosts.
On his side, he had just released the stern ghosts, and before he could react, Old Zhou had already slammed his fist on Bai Qiulin’s face.
”Dare to cuckold me! Shameless!”
He then fought with Bai Qiulin and ran out of the safe passage, directly crashing into the man outside.
”You two stop fighting!” Duan Yue hissed and ran out to persuade the fight.
This scene appeared too suddenly, not to mention the man outside, even Chen Ge himself was confused.
The three stern ghosts were pulling and tugging, the man was squeezed by the wall, both sides were arguing fiercely, he didn’t dare to speak, it was better to hurry and leave at this time.
It took about fifteen seconds for Bai Qiulin to break away from Old Zhou’s hands at once and run back to the safe passage.
”I’m going to kill you today!”
Old Zhou and Duan Yue chased after him, and it only took twenty-three seconds before and after for the three stern ghosts to go out and come back.
Chen Ge looked at the key in his hand and had a particularly unreal feeling.
”This is too powerful, isn’t it?”
