Chapter 1081: Killing Each Other 4000



"I'm scared? What do I have to be afraid of?" The middle-aged man's expression became a little unnatural. He didn't understand where Chen Ge's confidence came from.

"I'm helping everyone track down the murderer, but you keep trying to change the subject. Do you know something but you didn't tell us?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes. "The murderer had just left from the sixth-floor window. He couldn't run far, so he should have been hiding on the fifth, sixth, and seventh floors. If we had started searching from these three floors, there would have been a great chance of catching the murderer, but you asked everyone to look for the landlord first."

Chen Ge used a speaking skill here. The middle-aged man only suggested going to find the landlord, but Chen Ge directly characterized him as the middle-aged man who asked everyone to go together.

"The landlord lives on the ninth floor, far away from the crime scene. I wonder if you are deliberately leading us away to buy time for the murderer?"

"You're talking nonsense! Don't believe his lies!"

"You led us to the ninth floor, and you seemed to know that the landlord had been killed, so no one would open the door for us. It took nearly half an hour for everyone to open the security door, which was enough time for the real murderer to get rid of the blood on his body." Every word of Chen Ge stabbed into the middle-aged man's body like a knife: "I don't want to doubt you, but all this is too coincidental. It's so coincidental that you seem to be deliberately helping the real murderer to buy time."

The neighbors' eyes towards the middle-aged man gradually became unfriendly.

"Listen to me! I didn't even know the landlord had been murdered! If I knew, I would never say it out now!" The middle-aged man tried his best to refute. Chen Ge stood by and watched. He didn't care what the middle-aged man said at all. He just wanted to find a reason, a reason to enter the middle-aged man's house.

None of these perverts are clean. As long as Chen Ge is allowed into their rooms, even if there is no evidence, Chen Ge will do his best to "find" it.

"I have known Brother Man for many years and I know his character. I believe he would never do something like murder." Aunt Ding suddenly spoke up. Just when the middle-aged man thought that Aunt Ding was speaking for him, Aunt Ding changed the subject: "But this is really too much of a coincidence. How about we go to Brother Man's home first? I firmly believe that Brother Man is innocent, and this will also help resolve unnecessary misunderstandings."

Aunt Ding seemed to be speaking for the middle-aged man, saying that she believed he was not the murderer, but she actually wanted to kill him. As an old tenant in the building, she should know something about the middle-aged man's secrets and knew that he had something that must not be exposed.

After hearing what Aunt Ding said, the middle-aged man's face turned very bad. He didn't expect that it would be Aunt Ding who stabbed him at the critical moment.

With a gloomy look, the middle-aged man stared at Aunt Ding and clenched his fists.

Chen Ge did not express his opinion, his eyes wandering between Aunt Ding and the middle-aged man.

Aunt Ding was the first to discover that the spare key in the closet was stolen, and her reaction was extremely abnormal. In Chen Ge's opinion, Aunt Ding was very likely related to the landlord's death, and she was probably one of the murderers of the landlord.

This also explains why she spoke at this time and wanted to put the blame for killing the landlord on the middle-aged man.

Of course, the middle-aged man deserved it. If he hadn't mentioned the landlord, nothing would have happened. Now everyone knows about the landlord's death. The murderers who killed the landlord will naturally not let him go. The best way to deal with it is to make the middle-aged man the murderer who killed the landlord.

Chen Ge also understood this point, and he took advantage of the situation to push the middle-aged man into the position of the murderer.

He only needs to push the middle-aged man to the position of the murderer, and someone will definitely stand up and hold the middle-aged man down so that he cannot turn over.

There was a split between the tenants who had been cleared of suspicion of murder and those who had not been cleared of suspicion, and there was also a split among the tenants who had been cleared of suspicion. As the split continued step by step, Chen Ge was getting closer and closer to his goal without having to do anything.

"We must not split up internally. The most urgent task is to find the murderer who killed Qu Gui!" Chen Ge was very happy when he saw the split among the neighbors in the building, but he kept emphasizing that everyone should unite: "Calm down! Let's go back to the original inference. Xiao Sun said that the electrician on the eighth floor had quarreled with Qu Gui and threatened him. That electrician had a motive to kill. Let's start the investigation with him."

Chen Ge did not let Aunt Ding lead everyone to target the middle-aged man. He wanted to keep the middle-aged man to create greater divisions.

Walking out of room 901, Chen Ge stood at the front of the corridor with a smile on his face, followed by the residents of the building. This scene was incredible.

"Anyone there?"

Led by Xiao Sun, everyone came to the door of the electrician's room.

There was a knock on the door, breaking the silence on the eighth floor, and everyone stared at the security door in front of them.

The tenants in the building were also curious about the electrician's secret. The feeling of spying on others is hard to describe.

After knocking more than ten times, footsteps were finally heard in the room and the security door slowly opened a crack.

"Are you guys okay?" A bearded man appeared at the door. He wasn't much of a talker, his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed like he hadn't slept well for a long time.

"There's been a homicide in the building, and we want to give you a heads up."

"Got it." The electrician said and was about to close the door, but Chen Ge grabbed the door panel.

"What do you want to do?"

"It's not what I want to do. This is a unanimous decision." Chen Ge pointed to the tenant behind him: "For everyone's safety."

"We now suspect that the murderer is related to you. If you have nothing to hide, please let us go. We will never touch your things. We just want to confirm some things." Xiao Sun didn't have so many tricks and directly told Chen Ge and his team's purpose.

"Am I related to the murder case in the building?" The electrician raised his head slowly, and his bloodshot eyes swept to the left and back of Chen Ge, as if he was communicating with someone through eye contact.

Chen Ge knew that Aunt Ding was standing behind him on the left, and he found it more and more interesting.

When the electrician encountered trouble, he looked at Aunt Ding first, which means that he and Aunt Ding were hiding something together.

Combined with the previous speculation, Aunt Ding is related to the landlord's death, so doesn't that indirectly mean that the electrician is also related to the landlord's death?

When Chen Ge saw the complicated circuits in Room 901, he suspected that the murderer was an electrician, because the electrician would most likely be the first person to discover the landlord's secret.

Chen Ge had his back to Aunt Ding. He didn't know what hints Aunt Ding gave to the electrician. He only saw that the electrician's expression became even worse after he exchanged glances with Aunt Ding.

"I stayed in my room the whole time tonight and didn't go anywhere. You got the wrong person." The electrician refused to move, and everyone was fighting in the corridor. Chen Ge felt that this couldn't go on. If he gave in to the electrician, the subsequent plans would be even more difficult to implement.

These tenants are more shrewd than each other. Except for Xiao Sun, no one is willing to take the lead. Chen Ge has no choice but to do it himself.

"The murderer has threatened everyone's safety. If you don't let us in, it means you must be hiding something." Chen Ge gradually became tougher: "We are not asking for your opinion, but notifying you."

"Notify me? We are all tenants. Why did you break into my house? It's inexplicable!"

"We have patiently helped you reconstruct what happened, but you still won't give in. It seems that you are indeed related to Qu Gui's death, and you are deliberately hiding it!" Chen Ge's patience has been worn out. He kept grabbing the door with force: "Everyone, go in together. There must be something wrong in this room!"

Chen Ge stepped forward, and the neighbors who usually didn't get along well with the electrician also started to help. With so many people working together, the electrician couldn't close the door at all.

"you!"

The security door was finally opened, and Chen Ge was the first to rush in.

Chen Ge smelled a burnt odor when he peeped out of his nose: "What's burnt?"

The room was a mess, with all kinds of sundries piled up, and there was no place to stand.

The neighbors crowded into the room and broke some items on the floor, but the electrician seemed not to see anything. He leaned against the security door with his head down, not wanting anyone to see his expression.

"Qu Gui was stabbed, and the murderer was covered in a lot of blood. Another thing to note is that the murderer acted carefully, and he may have been planning it a long time ago, so his notebook may contain content related to the murder."

The tenant following Chen Ge began to search the house. During the whole process, the electrician stood at the door with his head down and said nothing.

"His muscles were tense and he was scared."

The tenant searched for a long time but could not find any clues related to the murder. Aunt Ding walked up to Chen Ge and said, "Have we wronged him? Although the room is very dirty and messy, there is no blood. He doesn't seem to read much. There are no books or notes in the room."

"It seems that the murderer is not him." Xiao Sun walked out of the bedroom with a frown. He was a very innocent child who had not experienced the harsh treatment of society. After realizing that he was wrong, he ran directly to the electrician and said, "I'm sorry, we are also trying to catch the murderer as soon as possible. I will treat you to a meal when I have the chance in the future as an apology."

"Can you leave the house now?" The electrician's voice was low and you could tell that he was very angry.

"No problem." Aunt Ding agreed on her own initiative, and the others slowly walked towards the door of the living room.

"Wait a minute." Chen Ge stood in the house and suddenly said, "Do you smell a bad smell?"

"His room is so messy, maybe something is moldy?" Aunt Ding was obviously speaking for the electrician: "Let's go to other rooms and check. Don't waste time."

"Moldy things don't emit a burnt smell." Chen Ge followed the smell to the bedroom on the right: "Do you live alone?"

The electrician looked up at Chen Ge and said in a hoarse voice: "Yes, I live alone."

"You live alone, and both bedrooms have double beds. You are quite extravagant."

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

"I'm just curious." Chen Ge looked at the newly changed sex supplies: "Which room do you usually sleep in?"

"This is my house. I can sleep in whichever room I want. Do I need to tell you? Does this have anything to do with the murder case you were talking about?" The electrician stared with bloodshot eyes. He had been suppressing the anger in his heart. This man had a personality problem. He got angry easily and couldn't control his emotions.

"I guess you usually sleep in the bedroom on the left, where various daily necessities are placed. The bedroom on the right is very simple. It doesn't look like a place to live, but more like your workshop." Chen Ge kicked some wires on the ground, among which there were several hidden wires connected to the bottom of the bed.

"What kind of workroom needs a queen-sized bed?"

Chen Ge grabbed the newly changed bed sheet, tore it off without warning, and threw it to the ground.

The electrician's face turned pale instantly and he subconsciously took a small step back.

Under the sheets was a thick Simmons mattress with many burnt marks on it. The burnt smell came from there.

"Let's go to other rooms. There's nothing unusual in this room." Aunt Ding glanced at the mattress and looked away.

"This mattress has great sound insulation and is shockproof." Chen Ge said as he grabbed the mattress and lifted it up. A pungent burnt smell instantly came out and everyone present could smell it.

There was a hardwood bed board under the mattress. Chen Ge did not hesitate and pushed the bed board aside.

The scene before them made everyone feel uncomfortable. There was a dead body of a boy hidden under the bed. He had multiple electrodes connected to his body and his skin was severely damaged, but the real fatal injury was on his neck.

He was strangled to death, and the marks were still very clear.

"Jiaqi!" Seeing the boy, Aunt Ding knelt down on the ground. She crawled to the bed and wanted to hug the child's body.

Aunt Ding screamed at the top of her lungs, but Chen Ge could see clearly that the woman did not shed a single tear.

"Catch that electrician!" Xiao Sun shouted loudly. When Chen Ge lifted the mattress, the electrician had already sneaked out of the room.

"He was the one who killed Jiaqi! He actually tortured a child like this! I'm going to kill him! Kill him!" Aunt Ding seemed to have been severely stimulated and entered a hysterical state. She grabbed the fruit knife on the coffee table and rushed out.

She is very strong, not much weaker than men, and very fast.

"Quick! We've found the murderer! Let's go too!" Xiao Sun ran out excitedly, and the other neighbors followed him. Only Chen Ge was still standing in the living room.

"Aren't we going over there?" Wen Qing asked in a low voice.

"The electrician won't live long. Aunt Ding will do everything she can to kill him."

"That's right. Aunt Ding was just speaking for the electrician. Now she has been betrayed by someone she trusted. She must be in great pain."

"She wanted to kill the electrician not because of pain, but because of fear. This boy should be a 'gift' from Aunt Ding to the electrician. They are all murderers who killed the landlord. The electrician knows a lot of Aunt Ding's secrets. Aunt Ding is afraid that the electrician will reveal her secrets, so she will definitely kill the electrician." Chen Ge looked at the boy under the wooden board, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he clenched his teeth: "What a bunch of beasts."

Wen Qing thought over and over again about Chen Ge's words. She had been following Chen Ge and had experienced the same things, but she had no idea how Chen Ge had figured out so many things.
