Chapter 0547 – One Floor of Building One
After saying that, Chen Ge let Xu Yin hand the middle-aged woman over to Red Raincoat.
”I’ll wait for your news.”
He didn’t stop at the station and brought Xu Yin back to the No. 104 hearse.
The woman’s wailing came from the station, and blood oozed out from underneath the red raincoat, as if a thread had strangled into the middle-aged woman’s flesh.
Listening to the middle-aged woman’s pleas for mercy, the red raincoat didn’t feel very happy, her scarlet eyes looked at Chen Ge on the hearse, and a trace of complexity drifted through them.
Chen Ge did not use the middle-aged woman as a bargaining chip to blackmail or force her to do certain things, but decisively handed the middle-aged woman over to Red Raincoat, a move that made Red Raincoat’s favorable impression of him increase slightly.
The 104 road hearse drove out of the station and went straight to the family home where Fan Cong lives.
As the rain outside abated, Chen Ge moved the electric car off the bus and pushed it into the neighborhood.
After tossing and turning for so long, it was already one or two o’clock in the morning, Chen Ge was worried about disturbing Fan Cong’s sleep and sent a message to the other party first.
Not long after, Chen Ge’s cell phone vibrated, and after Fan Cong saw the message, he directly called him.
”Boss Chen, you’re downstairs now?”
”Yeah, didn’t disturb you, did I? I guess you’re probably still awake.”
”It’s raining outside! I’ll go down to pick you up right away.”
”No need, I came over today mainly to ask you something.”
The phone hung up, Chen Ge put the battery car back in its original position, then took the key and entered the middle of the building.
Coming to the top floor, the door to Fan Cong’s room was open.
”My brother is sleeping in the other house, he has to work tomorrow.” Fan Cong showed excitement after seeing Chen Ge, “Boss Chen, I played out several endings again, there are hidden eggs in that game.”
”I didn’t come over for the game this time.” Chen Ge hadn’t forgotten about what happened in the Jiujiang Mental Hospital, and he wanted to check out Jiang Long’s house in the eastern suburbs.
After Boo opened the door behind the closet of his classmate’s house in the game, the whole picture of the game started to change, so if Boo’s game was mapping reality, then the out-of-control “door” in Liwan Town was probably in Jiang Long’s house.
Chen Ge was eager to see the difference between a runaway door and an ordinary door.
”Not for the game? You ran this far at night just to return the car?” Fan Cong was dumbfounded.
”Returning the car is just one aspect, go, go in and talk.” Chen Ge stood in the hallway with his bag on his back, always feeling that the stairs were eerie, and there seemed to be something eavesdropping on the bottom floor.
After the door to the room was closed, Fan Cong brought Chen Ge a towel, “You’re almost soaked, why don’t you change my clothes first?”
”No need.” Chen Ge went straight to the topic, “Fan Cong, you’ve played that game of Boo’s, have you noticed that the building where Boo’s classmate’s house is located is very much like the number one building in your neighborhood.”
At first, Fan Cong didn’t think it was very similar, but when Chen Ge said so, his eyes slowly widened, “It’s true, the neighborhood where Boo’s classmate’s house is located is pretty much the same as the overall layout of our entire neighborhood.”
”I’m going to go to Xiao Bu’s classmate’s house tonight to take a look.” Chen Ge stood inside the house, his clothes were wet so he didn’t just sit around.
”Going to Boo’s classmate’s house? In reality?” Fan Cong still couldn’t keep up with Chen Ge’s thoughts and couldn’t figure out what Chen Ge wanted to do.
”I’ve already contacted the people from the police, that classmate of Boo’s is now living in a mental hospital, and I’ve figured out the exact location of his house.”
Chen Ge said something that made Fan Cong even more confused, “Boss Chen, aren’t you running a haunted house? How come you’re still connected to the police?”
”Don’t worry, I didn’t disclose a single bit of information about the game, and contacted the police because of a split body case.”
”A body-splitting case?” Fan Cong’s face went white for a moment.
”Yes, it’s in the Ming Yang neighborhood not far from your place.”
”Right in our neighborhood?”
”Yes. The murderer hasn’t been caught so far, but I already have a target of suspicion.” Chen Ge didn’t consider Fan Cong’s feelings while he was talking, he ignored the impact of words like murder and body-splitting on ordinary people.
Hearing that Chen Ge was going to go for such a big job, Fan Cong also got nervous, “Then how am I going to cooperate?”
”After my visit and investigation, I have determined that Xiao Bu’s classmate’s house is on the first floor of the first unit of the first building in your neighborhood, you and your brother have lived here for so long, have you ever found anything unusual.”
Building One was just across the street from the building where Fan Cong lived, and he could usually see it just by pulling back the curtains.
”I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the opposite side either, you’re making me feel gross inside.” Fan Cong smiled bitterly and said back.
”There’s no rush, think slowly, when your brother gets up tomorrow, you can also ask him, or ask other old residents in the neighborhood.” Chen Ge hadn’t expected to make a discovery as soon as he arrived, “This is the battery car key, I’ve put it on the table for you, tonight you’re getting a lot of credit for this car.”
Fan Cong didn’t know what Chen Ge was talking about, he pondered for a while and beckoned towards Chen Ge, “You come with me, I thought carefully, that building across the street is indeed a bit strange.”
The two entered the bedroom, and Fan Cong pulled open the curtains.
”Liwan Town is in the easternmost part of the eastern suburb, the transportation is inconvenient, a lot of people have moved away, two thirds of the houses in the neighborhood we live in are empty.” Fan Cong pointed to the building across the street: “My brother and I just moved here when I was ready to choose the first building, the rent of that building is much cheaper than the other three buildings, but we are now living in this house the head of the house told me that the first building is not peaceful, live in it will be in trouble, in the past few years, there are a lot of people unexplained on the missing.”
”Disappeared?” Chen Ge immediately thought of the out-of-control “door”, and he suspected that those people probably entered the “door”.
”Yes, it’s just watching people move in, but from a certain day onwards, I never saw that family come out. I don’t know if they moved out or what.”
”Didn’t any of you call the police?”
”It’s useless to call the police, the eastern suburbs are close to the county, and the vast majority of people who live here are from out of town, so there’s a lot of mobility. The police usually come over to make sure it’s not a vicious case like murder, and after realizing that there are no signs of struggle in the residents’ homes and that everything is normal, they leave. Over time, people don’t think it’s anything, and they get used to it anyway.”
”Other than that, what else has happened?” Chen Ge stared at the first floor of Building One, the windows on that floor were all labeled with seals, “Were those seals put up by the police?”
”En, there used to be someone living on the first floor of Building One, an old lady who lived alone. She often told people that she would see a child standing outside her window at night, and when the people in the district saw that she didn’t seem to be lying, they even organized a special squatting team to try to catch the child.”
”What was the result?” Chen Ge was a little curious, mentioning the child, he would now associate it towards that mission of the Underworld Fetus.
Fan Cong shook his head, “Actually, where is there any child, it should be that the old man is old and confused. The people in the neighborhood guarded the whole night without seeing the child, and finally after entering the old man’s room and checking it, they realized that the outside of that window of the old man’s house was full of grease stains and mud, and they couldn’t see out of the window at all when standing in the room.”
”Couldn’t see out of the window clearly?” Chen Ge thought for a while, “Could it be that the child had been standing inside the room?”
