Chapter 119 He Came Back



"Bang your head against the wall? Something seems to have run into your head?"

Chen Ge pondered the middle-aged man's words and felt that Wang Haiming's symptoms were somewhat similar to Zhang Peng's.

It is possible that both of them were possessed by evil spirits, but Zhang Peng voluntarily joined forces with the evil spirits, while Wang Haiming chose to struggle and resist.

Midnight is the time of the day when yin energy is the heaviest and when dirty things are most active. This also explains why he always gets sick in the middle of the night.

Chen Ge decided to continue to ask along this line, "Brother, besides going crazy at night, does Wang Haiming have any other abnormal behavior?"

"When he was first taken out of the mental hospital, he looked quite normal, except that he didn't like to talk. After spending some time with him, we discovered that there were many things wrong with him. There was no big problem during the day, and sometimes he would take the initiative to say hello to others, but at night he was a completely different person. He banged his head against the wall, cursed at the mirror and the wall, and pinched his own neck until his face turned purple, but he just wouldn't let go."

Through the middle-aged man's narration, Chen Ge learned about Wang Haiming's past.

Wang Haiming's second wife cheated him of his money and put him in a mental hospital. If this was a pre-planned conspiracy, then there is a high probability that Wang Haiming was normal before entering the mental hospital.

A normal person enters a mental hospital, and after receiving treatment for a period of time, problems arise.

"The dirt on him must have been brought out from the mental hospital." Chen Ge had the answer in his mind and asked another question, "Can you tell me in detail the cause of Wang Haiming's death?"

The sloppy middle-aged man raised the bottle in his hand and took a big gulp. "I don't know why you are curious about a dead person, but I advise you not to investigate too deeply. Be careful not to get yourself into trouble. That house is a bit evil."

"Thanks for the reminder, but I have an idea in mind."

After Chen Ge's repeated insistence, the middle-aged man finally told the truth. "When Wang Haiming was making trouble in the house before, we could hear his roars, and the neighbors would go to help or call the police for help. But on the day he had the accident, no one in the entire building heard his voice. The next day, when the landlord went to bring him food, he found that his body was already cold."

"What was the death scene like?" Chen Ge asked. This was crucial for him to reconstruct the cause and effect of the incident.

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Ge strangely. He couldn't understand why the young man in front of him would be interested in these things. "I was there at the time. Wang Haiming had a big hole on his head. The wall between Room 303 and Room 304 was covered in blood. His face was blue and purple, and he looked like he died of suffocation. There were fingerprints on his neck, but the police later compared them and found that the fingerprints were left by Wang Haiming himself."

"So, he strangled himself?"

"He was the only one at the crime scene, and the doors and windows were intact. This seems to be the only possibility." The middle-aged man drank the last sip of wine and stuffed the bottle into the shoe cabinet. "Are you done asking? I'm going downstairs to buy some wine while it's still early."

"While it's still early?" Chen Ge glanced at the completely dark sky outside the window and ignored the middle-aged man's words. "One last question. After Wang Haiming's accident, did anything strange happen here?"

As soon as this question was asked, the scruffy middle-aged man's expression changed slightly. He looked at the hundred yuan in his hand and whispered to Chen Ge, "Many old tenants in the building have seen Wang Haiming come back."

"Isn't Wang Haiming gone?" Before Chen Ge could finish, the middle-aged man pushed him out of the door. "Hey! Explain yourself!"

He looked at the low, dark corridor, thinking about the middle-aged man's words, "Wang Haiming has been back?"

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Ge walked towards the first floor where the landlord was.

Wang Haiming is likely to be someone who came out of the third ward, and some information about the third ward should be obtained from him. Based on this alone, Chen Ge will track it down to the end. After all, the third ward may contain clues left by his parents.

After knocking on the landlord's door and explaining his purpose, Chen Ge reacted violently.

She warned Chen Ge that if he continued to act recklessly and stayed in the apartment building, she would call the police.

The iron gate closed, and Chen Ge stood at the entrance of the corridor, feeling helpless.

The landlord didn't want to recall those things and refused to cooperate no matter what Chen Ge said.

"If I use a hammer to knock off the door lock of Room 303, given her violent temper, she might really call the police."

Back on the third floor, Chen Ge wanted to go into the house to discuss things with Dr. Gao, but he suddenly stopped at the door.

"Why is the person in room 302 still on the phone?" A young man's voice kept coming from the rental house, and the words he repeated most often were: "Are you trying to force me to death?"

"Half an hour has passed since I entered Men Nan's room. Why hasn't the young man hung up the phone in such a long time?" It is normal for a call to last a long time. What is abnormal is that he has been repeating a few sentences with basically the same meaning for such a long time.

"Who is he arguing with? I've only heard his voice for such a long time, but his tone doesn't sound like he's on the phone." Chen Ge leaned against the door and eavesdropped for a while. He remembered what the middle-aged man had said just now, that Wang Haiming would also quarrel with himself when he was ill.

“There’s something wrong with this person.”

He knocked on the door, and the quarrel in the room stopped immediately. Ten seconds later, the door opened a crack, and a young man's voice came from behind the door, "What's the matter?"

"Regarding Room 303 next door..."

"have no idea."

Before Chen Ge could finish his words, the young man closed the door.

After asking everyone he could, Chen Ge couldn't think of a better way for the time being. He returned to room 304, greeted Dr. Gao, and stood by the wall alone.

"The mission site shown on the black phone is Room 303. I need to go in and check it out before midnight." Chen Ge rubbed his temples. He walked to the window and pushed open the window of Room 304.

Room 304 and Room 303 are adjacent to each other, and the windows of the two rooms are only one meter apart.

"How about turning over?" He moved a chair and stepped on the window sill to try it out. The window of 303 was not locked and could be opened directly.

"It's no problem to go over there, but I'm afraid I'll encounter something after entering Room 303. By then, it might be too late to get back." Chen Ge looked down. The third floor was neither high nor low. And unlike Ping'an Apartment, there was no grass under Haiming Apartment, but a hard concrete road.
