Chapter 1082 – Whose turn will be next?

　　Standing beside Chen Ge, Wen Qing didn’t dare to ask why, she was worried that the walls would have ears and let others hear any important information.

　　”You and Granny Li go and stay in the living room first.”

　　Chen Ge stayed alone in the bedroom, he closed the bedroom door, squatted beside the bed, and examined the boy’s body.

　　Scorch marks from the electric shock, bruises left over from the beating, Chen Ge’s gaze finally rested on the boy’s neck: “He was strangled by the electric wire, there are wood shavings left in his fingernails, and the boy’s arms were tied to the bedpan before he died ……”

　　Chen Ge untied the ropes on the body and covered the boy with a clean bed sheet, “On the surface, the electrician appeared to be a silent and harmless bottom worker, but in reality, he had a more violent personality than an ordinary person, except that he had all of his anger pent up in his heart, and then vented his dissatisfaction by bullying the weaker people, he was a thug at heart. ”

　　The electrician’s situation is not an isolated case in the building, and Chen Ge begins to think toward a deeper place: “Under the constraints of morality and law, their nature is hidden, but in the world behind the door toward the warmth of the house, the worst part of their character is completely exposed. The door seems to amplify the malice in human nature, making everyone twisted and horrible.”

　　Chen Ge tried to guess what the Underworld Tire was thinking, but unfortunately, the clues were so few that he was clueless.

　　Flipping through his backpack, Chen Ge realized that blood had begun to surface on the comic book, and he tried calling out to the staff, but he still received no response.

　　”Chen Ge!”

　　Wen Qing’s voice came from outside the bedroom, followed by the bedroom door being pushed open, “Something seems to have happened downstairs!”

　　The sounds of running, shouting, and cries of pain were intertwined in the hallway, it was very chaotic.

　　”Don’t be in a hurry, let them mess around for a little while longer.”

　　Chen Ge slowly walked out of the room, the faces of those neighbors flashed in his mind, “Whose turn will it be next?”

　　Several people came to the second floor, a faint smell of blood wafted in the air, and fresh blood could still be seen on the stairs.

　　”What’s going on?” Chen Ge heard Aunt Ding’s cries before she even got close, and the other neighbors were all gathered on the hallway, blocking the road tightly.

　　”The electrician died.” Xiao Sun leaned on the steps, his face pale.

　　”Dead?!” Chen Ge looked very surprised as he accelerated his steps through the crowd, “Get out of the way!”

　　Standing at the corner between the second floor and the first floor, Chen Ge seemed to be frozen in place as he saw Aunt Ding lying on the ground, her mouth constantly crying Jiaqi’s name, her hands and upper body covered in blood.

　　Aunt Ding seemed to have lost her mind due to excessive grief, and no one else could get close to her, or no one was even willing to get close to her right now.

　　”Did you …… kill him?” Chen Ge’s pupils were trembling, “He was our only clue!”

　　”Jiaqi was the first child I adopted, and he disappeared in this neighborhood! I’ve been looking for him all along!” Auntie Ting was cloaked, her hands pressed against the blood on the ground, “That’s my child, can you understand how I feel as a mother? You know when I saw that child’s face ……”

　　Aunt Ding sobbed uncontrollably, as if she had lost all her strength, and collapsed in a pool of blood.

　　”It’s true that I can’t say that Sister Ding killed him, I saw with my own eyes that Sister Ding and the electrician had a confrontation, and they both fell down the stairs, and that fruit knife just happened to be stabbed into the electrician’s neck, so it’s kind of like what goes around comes around.” The one who opened his mouth to speak was a tenant on the fifth floor, very tall, he always stood with Auntie Ding, and this was the first time he had interacted with Chen Ge.

　　”Accident?” Chen Ge’s eyes skipped Aunt Ding to look at the first floor corridor.

　　The electrician had already run out of the building, and his body was at the entrance to the hallway, where bloody handprints could still be seen on the large locked iron door.

　　”With a knife stuck in his neck, even if he doesn’t die, there’s no way to talk, unfortunately, the clues that were so hard to find are just broken.” Chen Ge’s tone was quite helpless, he swept a glance at the tall man, “What do you call yourself?”

　　”My surname is Li.”

　　”Why do you have a medicinal odor on you?”

　　”I am a pediatrician.”

　　”Is the odor of the medicine given to the children that strong?” Chen Ge changed the subject without waiting for the other party to reply, “I wasn’t present when the electrician died, did you hear what he said at the end?”

　　”He called out Aunt Ding s full name …….”

　　Xiao Sun still wanted to say something, but was directly interrupted by Dr. Li: “The electrician is now dead, we must confirm as soon as possible if he is Qu Gui’s murderer.”

　　”But ……” Xiao Sun insisted on opening his mouth, only to be interrupted by Chen Ge again, “That’s right, the priority is to catch the murderer first, if the electrician is Qu Gui’s murderer then naturally all is happy, I’m now worried that the electrician is just the I’m worried that the electrician is just an accomplice, and the real murderer is still hidden in this building.”

　　The atmosphere in the building became more and more depressing as living people were killed right in front of their eyes.

　　”I’ll send Auntie Ding back to her room first, she saw her adopted son’s body and was too stimulated today.” Dr. Lai tried to help Aunt Ding up in the pool of blood, but after several unsuccessful attempts, he looked to the crowd and beckoned his hand towards one of the short men, “Big Head, come and help me.”

　　The short man had no hair, his face was largely swollen, and he looked a bit deformed.

　　Big Head and Dr. Li helped Aunt Ding to the fourth floor, while Chen Ge silently watched their backs.

　　”Dr. Lai is tall and looks very strong, it’s impossible that he can’t help Auntie Ting, he’s just looking for an excuse, he wants to call Big Head to leave with him, the three of them should know each other and be a group.”

　　Dr. Lai, Big Head, Aunt Ding, and the electrician, Chen Ge suspected that it was the four of them who teamed up to kill the landlord and steal the keys to all the rooms.

　　As for their reason for killing the landlord, Chen Ge also probably guessed that the landlord had spied on their secrets, so the landlord had to die.

　　”What about that …… electrician’s body?” Qu Win’s head was now big, Qu Gui’s body was still lying in the living room, and now there was another body in the building, their intention was to track down the murderer, but things somehow started to get out of control, it was as if someone was secretly messing around and wanted to take out all the tenants in the building.

　　”Forget about the electrician’s body for now, I just made a horrible discovery.” Xiao Sun saw Dr. Lai and the others walk away before he dared to speak, “The electrician was pushed down the stairs, and the person who did it wasn’t Auntie Ting, it was Dr. Lai, and the two of them were running at the front at the time.”

　　”Jiaqi is Aunt Ding’s adopted son, why was Dr. Li so impulsive? Looking at his appearance, he doesn’t look like someone with a strong sense of justice.” Chen Ge was slowly guiding the neighbors in the direction of their thinking, he couldn’t be too blunt like Xiao Sun because he also didn’t know how many other people within the building were involved in the murder of the landlord matter.

　　However, one thing was certain, there shouldn’t be too many people involved in the murder of the landlord, otherwise there was no need for them to be afraid of Chen Ge at all, much less to sacrifice an electrician.

　　”I also find it strange.” The middle-aged man who hid women’s underwear in the house stood alone in the corner, right now he didn’t trust anyone, “The woman surnamed Ding isn’t quite right today, she usually treats her foster son very poorly, it’s more like raising a pet than raising a child, and if she gets a little bit upset, she’ll just beat and scold him again.”

　　”So you think that Auntie Ting didn’t kill the electrician to avenge her foster son? Rather, she was worried about something else?”

　　”I didn’t say that!” The middle-aged man looked at Chen Ge and waved his hands back and forth, he was an old tenant here and knew that talking nonsense could sometimes lead to murder.

　　”Why don’t we go ask Wu You? That’s the kid who lives in 301, the neighbors in the building all say that the kid is especially a liar, but I think that kid is actually quite good, except that he may have some heart problems because he hasn’t had anyone to keep him company for a long time, don’t we happen to have a psychiatrist here? We can help him take a look by the way.” Xiao Sun suddenly opened his mouth, scaring the middle-aged man out of a cold sweat.

　　”That kid Wu You is full of lies, not a single word that comes out of his mouth can be believed, besides he is just a little kid, what does he know? You let him see the corpse, don’t scare him directly.” The middle-aged man pretended to be calm and shook his head.

　　”Well, I’m just offering an opinion, after all, that kid is always running around the building like crazy, he might know something.” Xiao Sun was rationalizing and analyzing, he didn’t even realize that he had become a thorn in the side of most people.

　　Chen Ge also wiped the sweat from his forehead, as an ordinary person after being involved in a murder case, the first thing to do was not to learn from a detective to solve the case, but to protect himself.

　　For Xiao Sun’s repeated horizontal jumps on the edge of death, he understood but did not agree.

　　”I also don’t think it’s necessary to question a child, but the murderer is hiding in the building, so it’s too dangerous to leave Wu You at home alone, it’s better to let him stay with us.” The middle-aged man nodded when Chen Ge said the first half of his sentence, but when he heard the second half of Chen Ge’s sentence, his head directly froze.

　　”Will it be less convenient to bring a child with you?”

　　”It’s fine, I’ll protect him, let’s go to 301 to pick up Wu You now.” Chen Ge directly walked towards the third floor, he had just entered the third floor corridor when he saw a boy’s face poking out of the room at the innermost part of the long corridor, it was still a bit scary in the middle of the night.

　　”Wu You, there is a murderer mixed in this building, it’s not safe for you to be alone, follow us first.” Chen Ge wanted to go and hold Wu You’s hand, but Wu You dodged it at once.

　　”A murderous devil?” Wu You looked at Chen Ge and those tenants and said in that very childish voice, “Aren’t you all murderous demons?”

　　”You see, this child can lie.” The middle-aged man spread his hands with a hopeless look.

　　”You know that we are all murderous demons, so why are you still here? Aren’t you afraid?” Chen Ge looked at the child in front of him.

　　”I’m waiting for mom and dad.”

　　”If you’re killed, your mom and dad won’t be able to find you, so it’s better for you to obediently follow me.” Chen Ge’s way of reasoning with children was extremely hardcore.

　　Grabbing Wu You’s hand, Chen Ge let him follow him.

　　Realizing that Chen Ge had a firm attitude, the middle-aged man suddenly said that he wasn’t feeling too well and wanted to go home, so Chen Ge didn’t stop him and let him leave.

　　In fact, Chen Ge was very clear in his heart, the middle-aged man left at this time, must be in fear that Wu You said leakage, so he rushed back to destroy those unseemly things.

　　After the middle-aged man left, the rest of them walked together towards Aunt Ding’s room on the fourth floor.

　　Dr. Lai had called up Big Head and Aunt Ding, they must be discussing something, Chen Ge didn’t want to give them too much time.

　　Arriving on the fourth floor, Chen Ge saw Big Head guarding the doorway of Aunt Ding’s room before he even passed.

　　”Is Sister Ding feeling better?”

　　”With Dr. Li here, there should be no problem.” Big Head looked strange, but spoke very kindly, giving the impression that he was the kind of honest person who was particularly good at bullying.

　　”Something happened just now after you guys left, I want to ask Auntie Ding about it in person.”

　　”She still has to rest.”

　　”You better get out of the way, this matter is very serious.” Chen Ge was followed by Qu Win, Xiao Sun, Wen Qing, and Granny Li, and had the advantage in numbers, “I’ll go in alone, I won’t disturb Auntie Ding’s rest.”

　　”Alright.” Big Head knocked on the door, and only after ten seconds or so did the security door open, Chen Ge walked in alone.

　　Although Aunt Ding wasn’t young anymore, the interior of the house was decorated in a very girly way, with the main color being pink.

　　Chen Ge smelled a strong perfume and air freshener smell as soon as he entered the house, he coughed gently and took the initiative to close the security door.

　　Aunt Ding was lying on the sofa and Dr. Li was standing next to her, both of them did not look too good when they saw Chen Ge come in.

　　”Do you have something to do?”

　　”You guys have an impression of that lewd middle-aged uncle on the third floor, right?”

　　”What’s wrong?”

　　”Just now he said that the electrician didn’t fall down the stairs by himself, he was pushed down by someone, and then he very subtly prompted us to go find Wu You and ask about it.” Chen Ge had a cold face.

　　”Did you ask anything?” Aunt Ding’s face was pale, and her voice couldn’t help but tremble.

　　”That child has been stimulated, and he says things we can’t understand at all, like what Aunt Ding always carries the child up and down the stairs, and that a child appears around him like a ghost, and so on.” Chen Ge acted as if she couldn’t see Aunt Ding’s increasingly pale face, and said to herself, “The focus isn’t on this child, but on that uncle on the third floor, who is door-to-door with Wu You, and I very much doubt that he taught Wu You to say these words. After all, even if a child loves to lie, he won’t always go on about these things.”

　　”Makes sense.” Dr. Li and Auntie Ding nodded at the same time.

　　”In addition, I also found out one thing, that uncle always seems to be interfering with our search for the truth, I suspect ……” Chen Ge raised his head, his eyes bright: “Could he be the murderer of the landlord? ”

　　”Very likely, there are very many oddities in that person.” Aunt Ding’s face became a little rosier, and her speech became sharper, “There are a lot of women’s underwear in his house, and I don’t know where he got them, in short, that person is very disgusting.”

　　”You guys suspect him, and he also wants to draw things towards you guys.” Chen Ge was torn for a while, “I don’t know who to trust either, how about this, later on, we’ll pretend to check out a certain room on the third floor, and then we’ll directly turn around to his home and do a surprise inspection to see if we can find any evidence. If there are items in his house that are related to the landlord’s murder, then we can be sure that he is the murderer of the landlord.”

　　Chen Ge was very bold, the real purpose of him doing this was that he wanted to make the murderer bring out the evidence himself, it was a chain of events.
