Chapter 0497 – Strange Husband

　　”What kind of joke are you making? Whether he’s my husband or not, I definitely know better than you!” Huang Ling drove, unimpressed.

　　”I looked at his cell phone, he called you seven times tonight.” Chen Ge lowered his head, his hand stretched amongst his backpack.

　　”Doesn’t that just show that he loves me?” Huang Ling felt that Chen Ge was a strange person in every sense of the word.

　　”However, none of the seven calls got through, the call you received on bus 104 was from another person.”

　　”Another person?” Huang Ling turned her head directly to Chen Ge because she was too surprised, “Impossible!”

　　”Drive properly.” Chen Ge pointed to the road in front of her and spoke in a calm tone, “I don’t have the need to deceive you, reminding you is merely out of good intentions, believe it or not.”

　　After Chen Ge finished speaking, the cab was quiet, and no one opened their mouths.

　　Huang Ling pursed her lips and drove seriously, but her hands gripping the steering wheel were getting harder and harder, and after about a few minutes, Huang Ling slammed on the brakes without warning.

　　The cab was parked in the middle of a rainstorm, and the atmosphere inside the car was a little weird.

　　Huang Ling stared at the steering wheel for a long time, and then slowly looked at Chen Ge: “Jia Ming is indeed not quite the same as before, since the accident, he has become silent and autistic, seldom communicates with me, and sleepless nights, the doctor said that he should be suffering from depression.”

　　”That means the point in time when your husband changed before and after was that car accident right?” Chen Ge did not bother to look at Huang Ling, still keeping his head down.

　　”Are you paying attention to the point of what I’m saying or not? Jia Ming got depressed because of that car accident, he got sick.” Huang Ling gripped the steering wheel and smiled very hard: “He took the initiative to give up the psychological counseling considering the difficult situation of our family, and the medication was stopped after maintaining it for a period of time because four or five hundred a month in medical expenses was a considerable burden for us, and at that time the family relied on me alone, I know he felt bad in his heart, so all these changes that happened to him I can understand all of them.”

　　”Think back more carefully, did he have any unusual behavior other than being depressed? I mean the kind of special behavior that has nothing to do with the disease.” Chen Ge casually cited a few examples, “For example, you woke up late at night to find him standing beside the bed with his eyes open and looking at you; suddenly another person’s voice came out of his mouth; he killed some small animals behind your back and hid the body in the room, etc.”

　　After hearing Chen Ge’s words, Huang Ling twisted her head with difficulty and glanced at Xiao Gu who was sitting in the back row, she was already a bit scared of Chen Ge in her heart, “No, all of these situations you mentioned have never happened.”

　　”You can take a look at the call records on your cell phone and think about it carefully, this matter could be about your own life.” Chen Ge had little interest in the man in Huang Ling’s house, what really caught his attention was the man who had called Huang Ling in the car.

　　”Call records?” Huang Ling took out her cell phone and looked at it; there were only seven missed calls on the call log, and it didn’t show those calls between herself and her husband in the hearse.

　　”You can suspect me of lying, but your own cell phone won’t.” Chen Ge looked out the window at the torrential rain, “I advise you that you’d better not hide anything, the one in your family might have already noticed too, and when you’re alone with him next time, maybe he’ll do something strange to you.”

　　Huang Ling gripped her phone and spoke after a long time, “After Jia Ming’s accident, he became particularly annoyed with children, and muppets and things like that.”

　　”Tell me in detail.” A hint of brightness flashed in Chen Ge’s eyes.

　　”A long time ago he gave me some muppets, even though I’m older, but those things are at least memories between me and him, so I haven’t thrown them away, and I put them in a cabinet, and occasionally take them out to look at them.”

　　”And I forget what day it started when I realized that one of the Muppets was missing from the cabinet.”

　　”At first I didn’t care, who knew that after a few days another one was missing.”

　　”I questioned Jamin and he said he didn’t see it.”

　　”About a month later, one time I left work early because of a fever, and when I came home, I realized that the door to my room was left open.”

　　”I thought to myself that it could be that the house had been burglarized, and when I went in gently, I saw that the fire in the kitchen was open, and that there was an iron pot for soup on it.”

　　”Thieves do not make soup in other people’s homes, I shouted a few times Jia Ming’s name, no one answered, so I ran to the kitchen to see what kind of soup Jia Ming is making.”

　　”But when I opened the lid of the pot, my mind was completely confused.”

　　”There was a cut-up rag doll in the pot, when the doll’s plastic face was floating up and down in the broth.”

　　”I hurriedly turned off the fire, and at that moment the door to the room was pushed, and I saw Jiaming walk in from outside the house with a kitchen knife in one hand and a big black bag in the other.”

　　”I can’t forget that scene till now.”

　　”I remember asking him at the time why he had to cut up all the rag dolls and put them in a pot to cook. He divinely told me that there was a person living in the rag dolls and that was the only way to get rid of it.”

　　”There are many other things like that related to children and rag dolls.”

　　”A few months ago, when the neighbor’s child was just born, he would cry every night, as if there was something scary in the house.”

　　”Jia Ming’s condition worsened as soon as he heard the child’s cries, and he often fought with the neighbor’s family over it, and in the end, it was the neighbor’s family that couldn’t take it first and moved to the western suburbs.”

　　Huang Ling put her cell phone away after she finished speaking, “I didn’t want a child with him before because I couldn’t afford it, now it’s purely because he’s sick of children.”

　　”After the car accident, your husband suddenly became afraid of muppets and children, this is not a sign of depression.” Chen Ge signaled Huang Ling to continue driving, “Tell me about the scene on the day of Jia Ming’s car accident.”

　　”Jia Ming and I work very close to each other, usually it’s Jia Ming who rides an electric bike to pick me up, that day I was made to work late by a client, and I didn’t come out of the company until almost nine o’clock.”

　　”It was raining heavily outside, just like tonight, I waited for a long time and didn’t see Jia Ming, and then it was the traffic police who called me and said that Jia Ming had a car accident.”

　　”The surveillance showed that he was crossing the road when he collided with the last bus on route 104, at that time it was as if he didn’t see the car at all, his eyes were staring straight in a certain direction as he drove past.”

　　Huang Ling remembered the scene at that time felt a burst of fear: “I received this call was terrified, directly ran to the hospital, Jia Ming leg was crushed, people also somehow fell into a deep coma in the middle of the next day before waking up.”

　　”You said that Jia Ming was hit by the 104 bus in the first place?” Chen Ge interrupted Huang Ling’s words, he had already figured out what he wanted to know, “That means that this guy who occupied your husband’s body was most likely from the last bus on route 104.”

　　Both Huang Ling and Xiao Gu didn’t react when they heard Chen Ge’s words, and it was only after a long time that they felt a chill down their spine.
