Chapter 1077 – Who is the murderer?
Wen Qing looked at the two people in the room, she was very headstrong.
Such a weird and scary place, yet neither Chen Ge nor Grandpa Huang had any abnormal behavior, and she didn’t know if she had never seen the market and was making too much of a fuss, or if the cognitive level of those two people had completely surpassed the realm of normal people.
After hesitating for a long time, Wen Qing finally walked into the house, she did not dare to sit down, just stood behind Chen Ge.
Grandpa Huang sat paralyzed on the sofa, he looked like he didn’t care about Chen Ge at all, and slowly closed his eyes, his body seemed to grow together with the sofa, it was growing together in the true sense of the word.
No one disturbed, Chen Ge also took this rare opportunity to survey the surroundings.
The architectural layout of this room was different from the other rooms, it was much smaller than normal, the kitchen and bathroom were together, and there was only a bedroom and living room.
”Compared to Wen Qing’s house, this room has one less bedroom and kitchen area.”
Chen Ge suspected that the source of the stench was from the missing room, and he sat on the sofa for a while, taking the time to study the blood on the sofa in the meantime.
Strangely enough, when Chen Ge sat on the sofa, those blood filaments were just decorations, but when Mr. Huang sat on the sofa, those blood filaments came to life as if they were small snakes, crawling on the sofa skin that was covered in stains, looking extremely} human.
”The blood filaments hidden underneath the stains in the house are able to recognize moncler outlet online Huang, and they only show their other appearance in front of him.”
Chen Ge didn’t understand too much about the relationship between the blood filaments and Grand Master Huang, he wanted to try to ask Grand Master Huang, but it was as if he had fallen asleep, the wrinkles on his face were tightly wrinkled together, he didn’t say a word, and his body was deeply sunk into the sofa.
”Chen Ge, moncler outlet online Huang is probably not in a position to help us with this appearance.” Wen Qing was a bit downhearted, she had great hopes for Grandpa Huang before she came, but unfortunately the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
”You told me before that the house where moncler outlet online Huang lives is rented to him by his boss, right?”
”En, why?”
”Then who moved into this neighborhood first, you or him?” Chen Ge asked the next question.
”When Xiang Nuan and I moved here, Mr. Huang had already been living here for a while. His boss was quite nice, and knowing that moncler outlet store Huang had no place to go, he rented this house to him at a very low price.”
”Master Huang had suffered a work injury, do you know how much money his boss compensated him at that time?”
”I’m not too sure about that, after all, it’s moncler outlet online Huang’s personal matter.” Wen Qing did not understand why Chen Ge was asking this.
”So in the rooms, only this room has a different layout from the others, missing a kitchen and bedroom area ……” Chen Ge walked around the house, his hand sliding on the wallpaper, finally stopping next to the wall next to the master bedroom: “According to the architectural layout of your house, there should be a door here that leads to another bedroom.”
The fingertips snapped the wall skin, and some black and red stains remained in the fingernails, “The surface was painted with a layer of white paint, and it’s all filled with this black and red filth.”
The main reason Chen Ge was able to find this place was still because of the stench, the stench that only he seemed to be able to smell.
From the moment he entered Master Huang’s room, he had been searching for the source of the stench, but hadn’t found it, and after carefully distinguishing it, he came to the place where the stench was the strongest.
”The stench is seeping in from the wall side.”
Chen Ge glanced back, Master Huang was still cowering in the sofa, and it seemed that no matter what he did, Master Huang would not wake up.
”There is a hidden room here, and the stench in the moncler outlet store room originates from here.” Fingers kept snapping, the wall skin was damp and flimsy, there were no bricks or cement inside the walls, just that black and red unknown substance.
Half of Chen Ge’s fingers had already disappeared into the wall skin, and the touch from his fingertips gradually changed, as if he had touched the thin wall of a blood vessel.
Retracting his finger, Chen Ge used his Yin pupil and looked towards the small hole.
In the middle of the wall were intricate blood vessel-like things, and in between the gaps of those “blood vessels”, Chen Ge also saw an eye.
”Over there on the wall is a corpse?” Opening his backpack, Chen Ge silently took out the Skull Crushing Hammer from the bag.
”What do you want?!”
”Smash through it.”
”We just came in less than five minutes ago, and the owner of the house is still sleeping.”
”So now is the perfect time to do it.”
”Are you sure you want to do this?” Wen Qing felt that Chen Ge was too irrational, doing so would definitely offend Master Huang and create an additional enemy for no reason.
While the two of them were talking, moncler outlet store Huang, who was stuck in the middle of the sofa, seemed to have regained some strength, and he struggled to turn his head to look at, “You guys haven’t left yet?”
Seeing that Mr. Huang woke up, Chen Ge stuffed the skull-crushing hammer into his backpack without a trace, “Mr. Huang, this house is rented, right?”
”En, the owner’s family doesn’t live here, so I stayed here to help them look after the house, which just happens to be a place for me to settle down.” The tone of moncler huang’s speech hadn’t changed any more than before, he seemed to speak in the same way no matter what he encountered, it never changed.
”Understood.” Chen Ge nodded.
”If there’s nothing else, I won’t keep you guys, I want to go to my bedroom to rest.” Grandpa Huang slowly stood up, and all those veins on the sofa returned to normal, and everything bizarre was as if it had never happened.
Trembling his body, moncler yellow walked to the side of the bedroom, he coughed a few times, seemingly because his body was too weak, his hand held onto the doorframe, and one of his fingers gently tapped on the wallpaper next to the bedroom door a few times.
”When you guys leave, bring the door for me, I’ve been getting more and more tired lately, if you guys need anything you can ask the landlord, he lives on the top floor. But the landlord doesn’t have a good temper, so be careful when ye ask.” Speaking in a tone that had never changed, moncler huang’s voice slightly intensified as he said the last, he seemed to be emphasizing the word careful.
”We won’t bother you then, if you have any clues, or if you see that child, you can contact us at any time, we are within this building.”
Chen Ge dragged Wen Qing away from Grandpa Huang’s house, and helped Grandpa Huang close the door as he left.
”I realized that you’re really a person who thinks one thing and does another, just now you were ready to smash the wall, now you’re just saying leave, it’s so hard for us to find Master Huang, we should at least pester him to ask for something.” Wen Qing said sadly, “He’s been living here all his life, he knows more about certain hidden secrets of the neighborhood than I do, such a good opportunity was wasted by you, that said, why did you suddenly want to smash the wall ah? I have a feeling that Mr. Huang was scared by you.”
”You only saw the first layer.” Chen Ge didn’t go into details, he swept back at Granny Li, just now he and Wen Qing entered Master Huang’s house, but Granny Li who had been following them didn’t dare to go in, she just stood guard outside the door.
”Why don’t we go and ask Master Huang properly again?”
”No need.” There were some things Chen Ge couldn’t say directly, and he realized that it wasn’t that Master Huang didn’t want to help them, but that he didn’t dare to help them directly.
When they first met Grandpa Huang, Chen Ge and Wen Qing were both shocked by Grandpa Huang’s appearance, frankly speaking, Grandpa Huang was very scary looking, his face was covered in bite marks all over, making people not want to get close when they looked at him.
At that time, Chen Ge began to wonder if the moncler huang inside the door was different from the one outside the door, and that this old man actually had a dark and scary side.
The horrible looks, coupled with the pungent stench inside the house, it was normal that Chen Ge would make such an inference, but then he gradually realized that things were not like that.
When he proposed that he wanted to enter Master Huang’s house to check it out, Master Huang decisively agreed, and although he spoke slowly, he couldn’t hear the slightest bit of rejection from his tone of voice, as if Master Huang also wished for someone to be able to enter his house as a guest.
What was there to visit in an old man’s home that reeked of a foul odor, weird and dirty living alone?
After entering the house, moncler huang’s behavior was normal to say the least, but it always made Chen Ge feel a little strange.
Grandpa Huang paralyzed on the sofa and directly closed his eyes, he didn’t care what the two strangers in the house would go and do.
This was something that Chen Ge didn’t quite understand, he felt like moncler huang was deliberately indulging them in observing his home.
Chen Ge also did see the problem, he realized that the floor area of the house was not right, and that there might be two more hidden rooms in the house.
In the back when Chen Ge was about to smash the wall to verify, moncler outlet online Huang “just happened” to wake up, although he did not say a word, but it can be seen as he stopped Chen Ge.
If he hadn’t woken up, Chen Ge might have smashed the wall.
On the surface, moncler outlet store Huang was probably worried that the secret of the house would be exposed, but if you think about it more deeply, he was not protecting Chen Ge and Wen Qing, preventing them from breaking up with the building’s tenants too soon.
Later on, a small detail of moncler outlet store uk Chen Ge also more sure of his own speculation, moncler outlet store uk when he walked to the bedroom door, his finger gently knocked a few times next to the wall, his finger and Chen Ge snapped out of the hole in the same level.
moncler outlet online Huang probably wanted to tell Chen Ge in this way that Chen Ge’s guess was right, there was indeed something inside the wall.
He couldn’t say it and didn’t dare to say it, so he could only remind Chen Ge in this way.
”Master Huang should be a good person, but how does a good person survive inside the door? What did he rely on to survive?”
Chen Ge suddenly remembered a remark Wen Qing had made earlier, that after Master Huang had gotten injured at work, he had found himself another job going to the morgue to look at corpses and clean up after them.
”Will there be all corpses behind that wall? Is moncler outlet store Huang a corpse watcher?”
The last sentence of moncler outlet online Huang’s sentence mentioned the landlord, and also emphatically told them to be careful, thinking about the connection, Chen Ge’s eyes slowly widened.
”Has Grandpa Huang been helping the landlord guard the corpse?”
Chen Ge himself was shocked by this conclusion he had come to, he didn’t dare to tell anyone about this and silently kept it in his mind.
”According to this, the most dangerous person in this building is the landlord, maybe the tragedy of the whole building is related to the landlord.”
So many terrible things had happened in his own residential building, the landlord must have been one of the people who knew about it, but he didn’t come out to stop it.
”Perhaps the real landlord is already dead, and the landlord’s family is among the corpses buried behind the wall.”
Grabbing his backpack, Chen Ge had a plan in his mind, “Wen Qing, let’s go find the landlord now, he possesses the key to go out, and he should know best if Xiang Nuan has left the building.”
”Okay.”
Wen Qing didn’t know Chen Ge’s true thoughts, in fact, Chen Ge was now ready to make a move on the landlord, the landlord didn’t know about his and Wen Qing’s existence yet, so he could stage a surprise attack with the highest success rate.
After discussing the matter, Chen Ge and Wen Qing were about to enter the building when a scream suddenly came from upstairs.
”What happened?”
”Don’t be in a hurry, we need to ensure our own safety first.”
Chen Ge and Wen Qing were not the only ones in the building who heard that sound, many tenants also heard the sound.
After the screams rang out, the sound of security doors being opened kept coming out from the small building, and it seemed that a lot of people were walking out from their homes.
”That sound seems to be coming from the fifth floor.”
Chen Ge, Wen Qing, and Granny Li slowly walked towards the upper floors, and when they reached the third floor, they happened to see the middle-aged man who had hidden female underwear in his house also walk out of the house.
After a brief greeting, the few people walked up the stairs together.
”Why did he come out of the house as well? He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who is enthusiastic.”
Arriving on the fifth floor, Chen Ge found that many people had already arrived in the corridor, including college student Xiao Sun and Aunt Ding.
Five or six people were gathered around the door of room 504, whispering and not knowing what they were discussing.
”What happened?” Chen Ge softly asked Xiao Sun.
”Someone was killed! Right in 504!”Xiao Sun’s face was pale, he seemed to have encountered such a thing for the first time.
”Murdered?” Chen Ge looked towards 504, the living room was full of flowing blood, and the walls were filled with horrifying patterns outlined in blood.
All the furniture was splattered with blood, and a girl was sitting in the middle of a pool of blood, holding the body of a middle-aged man and crying.
”The screams were from that girl?”
”I just came over too.” Xiao Sun held his hand in front of his face and watched through his fingers.
Wen Qing also wanted to go over to look, but was stopped by Chen Ge, “Someone died, there’s blood everywhere, be prepared before you look.”
Just listening to Chen Ge’s description, Wen Qing could not stand it a bit, “It has nothing to do with Xiang Nuan, right?”
”No, the deceased is a middle-aged male.”
”Then I won’t watch it.”
”Don’t talk nonsense later, the situation is very wrong now.” Chen Ge lowered his voice: “The iron door of the building is locked, the key is in the landlord’s hand, the murderer, if he is not the landlord, then he should still be in the building, probably right next to us.”
Wen Qing understood what Chen Ge meant and stood very carefully with Chen Ge.
”The tenants in the building have their own rules, this middle-aged man’s death has alerted all the neighbors, it’s not quite like the tenants in the building did it. If the building tenants are ruled out, then the person who dared to blatantly violate the rules of the building, besides the landlord, should be other outsiders.”
Thinking of this, Chen Ge looked at the patterns drawn in blood inside the house, and he realized that most of these patterns were related to curses, and he had seen similar paintings in Liwan Town and the Old Town.
