"It should be fine if you're careful." Chen Ge opened his backpack, stuffed Xiao Xiao into his arms, and then took out a tool hammer and a flashlight.
"What are you doing?" Doctor Gao heard the noise and walked out of the bedroom. He looked at Chen Ge's unusual look and felt a headache.
"You've come just in time." Chen Ge pulled Doctor Gao to the window. "Let's keep talking for a while. You stay in room 304. I'll go to room 303 to take a look."
"What are you doing in 303?" Doctor Gao's eyes swept across the hammer in Chen Ge's hand, and finally stopped at the doll in his arms, his eyelids twitching wildly.
"The cause of Men Nan's illness should be in Room 303. I plan to go in and check it out before dawn."
"You're just going to go there like this with a rag doll."
"If I were alone, I might still hesitate for a while, but it's different with you." Chen Ge dialed Dr. Gao's number and put the phone in his chest pocket. "Keep talking."
Dr. Gao nodded instinctively. Holding up his cell phone, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy as he was responsible for the safety of two "patients" at the same time.
"Be careful"
Chen Ge stood on the windowsill on a chair. He put the tool hammer into his trouser pocket, clung to the wall, stood on the windowsill of 304 and pushed open the window of 303 with his foot.
"Doctor Gao, don't hang up the phone, be ready to pick me up at any time." After Chen Ge finished speaking, he held the window of 304 tightly with his left hand, leaned out of the window, and stretched his legs onto the windowsill of 303.
At this time, his body's center of gravity was still on 304. After his outstretched leg was firmly planted, he slowly loosened his hand holding the window and his body tilted toward the window next to him.
When it was two-thirds tilted, he aimed at the window frame of 303, released his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to grab the window frame.
Using his right hand, Chen Ge moved his body over.
"In order to treat patients, I climbed over the windows of my neighbors' houses"
Watching Chen Ge disappear from the 304 window, it was too late for Dr. Gao to stop him. He had been in the profession for more than ten years, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation while treating patients.
Grasping the window frame with his right hand, Chen Ge slowly squatted down, opened the window completely, and jumped in.
"Finally I'm in."
Room 303 has never been rented out since the incident. The interior furnishings have been basically kept as they were. The room is covered with dust and spots of stains can be vaguely seen on the walls.
The room was dark and the cement floor was uneven. Chen Ge turned on the flashlight and found that there was a worn and smelly carpet in the middle of the room.
"Several other rental houses, including the landlord's room, have no carpets, but this room has carpets."
Something must be wrong when things are abnormal. Chen Ge grabbed the edge of the carpet and lifted it up.
A strong stench emanated. Chen Ge covered his mouth and nose and threw the carpet aside.
It wasn't as cruel a scene as one might imagine. There were just some old clothes thrown under the carpet.
All the clothes are men's and are of the same size, so they should belong to the same person.
"The smell of moldy clothes can't be so pungent." Chen Ge used a hammer to push aside the clothes and soon made a surprising discovery: there were several dead sparrows thrown under the clothes.
"The body is intact, and the time of death should be within a week." When Chen Ge mastered the talent of concealing his appearance, he also gained some basic knowledge about thanatology in his mind. "This room has never been rented out since the incident, but someone came in within a week and buried these things under his clothes."
Chen Ge felt that the problem had become somewhat tricky, which was slightly different from his previous speculation.
"Wang Haiming died in this house. It's a pity that I don't know the exact location, but it doesn't matter much. If I search the whole house, I will always find something." Chen Ge didn't find anything valuable in the living room. He jumped over the clothes on the ground and entered the bedroom.
A steel bed was placed against the wall, and near the head of the bed was an old bookshelf with a few books placed crookedly on it.
The pages of the book were damp and moldy, and also gave off a faint smell.
Chen Ge checked all the drawers and cabinets but found nothing. Finally, he went into the bathroom with the mentality of giving it a try.
The internal structures of all the rooms in the apartment building are similar. As soon as Chen Ge opened the bathroom door, he saw the mirror placed opposite the door.
Under the light of the flashlight, Chen Ge in the mirror always looked a little weird compared to the real person.
He didn't go in, but just took a look from outside.
"There doesn't seem to be any clues in this room." The rental house was not big, and Chen Ge searched almost every corner.
Standing in the middle of the living room, Chen Ge looked at the clothes hidden under the carpet. "It's strange. These clothes seem to be all stained with blood. It's impossible for the blood of a few sparrows to stain so many clothes."
He has Yin pupils and his vision is much better than that of ordinary people. He gradually realized that something was wrong.
"There's something wrong with the clothes."
Holding a tool hammer, he checked every piece of clothing and finally found a very ordinary gray coat in the middle.
There were black bloodstains on the shoulders and back of the clothes. Wang Haiming might have hit his head against the wall while wearing this clothes.
Only when there is a head injury will the bloodstains show such distribution.
"What is this?" Chen Ge shook his clothes and found something else in his pocket for the first time.
He took something out of his coat pocket. It was cold to the touch. He held it in front of his eyes and saw that it was a rusty iron key.
"I have seen keys to apartment building doors. They are flat copper keys, much larger than apartment keys." Chen Ge couldn't understand why a useless patient who was taken from a mental hospital would have a key that was not his own door.
"He picked this up outside, but if he had picked it up casually, he would definitely not have kept it so solemnly." Chen Ge didn't know the use of the key for the time being, so he could only put it away first. He was about to leave when the flashlight swept across the window.
A figure was reflected on the open window glass. The tenant living in room 302 was leaning his upper body out of the window, trying to peek at what was going on here.
"I entered Room 303, why is he so concerned?" Chen Ge pretended not to notice and put his clothes back in place, but his brain was working fast, "Only people in Rooms 302 and 304 can enter Room 303 without going through the door. Men Nan in Room 304 is the victim. So, the sparrow in Room 303 is likely to have been killed by the young man in Room 302."
"But why did he do this? Has he been possessed by the monster in 303?" Chen Ge thought of the various abnormalities exhibited by the young man in 302, talking to himself, arguing with himself. All of this was so similar to Wang Haiming back then.
