Chapter 22 Midnight Escape!



Chen Ge gritted his teeth and tried not to make any sound. The moment he saw the body, he immediately sent a message to Heshan: "Call the police, call the police quickly!"

The light was too dim and there was a door between them, so the viewers in the live broadcast room had no idea what was happening. At this moment, Chen Ge could not care about them and pressed himself close to the crack in the door, not daring to blink.

"There's a body hidden in the building. So this is what they want to dig out." Chen Ge hid behind the wall. He didn't dare to make any unusual movements. Now was the most dangerous and tense moment. The tenants were only a few steps away from him. As long as they turned around and entered the room, they would find Chen Ge.

"Stop wasting time, dig!" the landlord cursed and walked over with tools. He spread the sack on the ground and began to clean the cement around the female corpse.

Perhaps they were afraid of waking up the residents downstairs, so they moved very quietly and did not make too much noise.

The wall was chiseled open and cement blocks kept falling off. Several people were sweating, not knowing whether it was because of the heat or fear.

They divided the work and cooperated with each other, but after all, it was the first time they had done something like this, and they were very scared and panicked, so the progress was very slow.

More than ten minutes later, they finally peeled the female corpse out of the wall and put it into a sack.

"Fatty, you stay and clean the walls. The rest of you come with me to the back mountain, and we'll find a place to bury her." The landlord was directing from the side, holding a pickaxe.

"I'll go with you!" the short and fat man said without thinking. After digging out the female corpse, he was almost exhausted. How could he dare to stay here alone?

"Look at what you have accomplished! Juan'er, you stay here with him to clean up, and we will meet at the old place in the back hill later." The landlord gave a few instructions to the only woman, and then he and the tattooed man carried the sacks and walked downstairs.

He walked with a limp, his footsteps sometimes light and sometimes heavy, and when he passed the room where Chen Ge was hiding, he suddenly paused.

"Why are there so many cotton wools on the ground?"

Chen Ge's heart almost jumped into his throat when he heard the landlord's voice. The puppet was torn apart, and some cotton wool and scraps of paper fell to the ground. The voice-activated light came on, but he had no time to pick them up when he found someone coming.

"Don't worry about it for now. This thing is really heavy. Just bury it first." The tattooed man urged from behind. The landlord did not investigate further. The two men passed by the door where Chen Ge was hiding and seemed to be walking away.

"Fatty, don't just stand there, get to work." The woman and the short and fat middle-aged man began to clean up the garbage and wipe the blood stains on the tools. A few minutes later, they came downstairs carrying a big bag.

The footsteps gradually faded away. When the third floor became quiet again, Chen Ge dared to breathe deeply. He was very cautious and looked out through the crack in the door.

The corridor was dark, and the tenants had all left.

"Fuck! I was scared to death."

After waiting for another three minutes, there was still nothing unusual outside, so Chen Ge slowly opened the door and walked out with his back hunched.

To avoid being discovered, he did not turn on the flashlight on his mobile phone, but held on to the wall with one hand and moved forward slowly.

"Listening to the conversation between these people, although they are not good people, the female corpse in the wall has nothing to do with them." To be honest, this group of people is unlucky enough. After occupying the elderly's apartment, who would have thought that they would find a body in the wall on the roof. Normal people's first reaction after finding a body would definitely be to call the police, but these people are not clean. On the one hand, they are afraid that if they call the police, they will find out their criminal records. On the other hand, they think it is creepy to live in the same building with the corpse. They have no choice but to choose to help the real murderer take the blame and take the initiative to dig up the body and bury it.

"No wonder the landlord repeatedly told me not to go out after midnight." Chen Ge's eyes had adapted to the darkness. He quickened his pace, preparing to leave the apartment building as soon as possible.

Chen Ge walked quietly along the way, not even planning to take back his backpack. He went straight to the first floor.

"It's broken." The security door of the apartment building was locked and he was trapped in the building.

"Those people went to bury the bodies, and they didn't forget to lock the door before leaving?" Chen Ge felt something was wrong. "The windows in the corridor on the first floor are equipped with anti-theft nets, and the windows on the third floor are sealed with wooden boards. The only way for me to leave the apartment building now is through the window of the room on the second floor."

The atmosphere in the apartment was very strange. Chen Ge didn't want to stay, so he returned to the second floor with a tool hammer.

The corridor in the darkness is long and deep, like the open mouth of a ferocious beast. Once you enter, you will be bitten to pieces.

"It's so quiet." Chen Ge's room was on the far left side of the corridor, right next to the landlord's house. He was on high alert, fearing that the door of a room would suddenly open.

Slowing down his pace and keeping his breath, it took Chen Ge more than a minute to reach the door of his room.

"Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. I'll tie the sheets to the window frame later. It should be no problem going down from the second floor." Chen Ge took out the key and used the dim light from the mobile phone screen to find the keyhole. When he was about to insert the key, his arm suddenly froze in mid-air.

"How come the half of my hair that I put in the keyhole is gone?"

His hair stood on end, fear came like a tide from all directions, and Chen Ge felt his hands and feet were cold.

"Someone came into my room! They knew I wasn't in my room!"

My breathing became rapid, as if a piece of ice was stuffed in my lungs.

"When did they go in? After digging up the body? Or when they found the cotton wool on the ground?" Actually, it was meaningless to think about this now. Chen Ge stepped back. He looked at the room he had lived in and quickly calmed down: "I can't go back. Those people are probably in my room now! Maybe they are hiding behind the door with a steel chisel!"

Chen Ge's strong psychological quality allowed him to quickly adjust his state. He had to escape in the shortest possible time. The longer he delayed, the more dangerous it would be.

Chen Ge retreated step by step without making any sound. He knew very well that the only way to leave the apartment building was through the window on the second floor. All other roads were blocked.

In the dark and silent corridor, Chen Ge quietly retreated to the far right side of the corridor without making any sound. This was the place on the second floor farthest from his room.

"Those tenants are more dangerous than I thought. Whether I can save my life tonight depends on this chance!" Chen Ge gritted his teeth, raised the tool hammer, and smashed it heavily on the door lock of the rightmost room.

“Bang!”

The dead silence that enveloped Ping An Apartment was broken. Chen Ge pounded on the door lock like a madman. With each loud bang, the thing he least wanted to see happened.

On the far left side of the corridor, the door of Room 208, where Chen Ge originally rented, was pushed open! Hearing the noise, the tattooed man and the landlord rushed out with steel chisels and kitchen knives in hand, their faces grim!

"Open it quickly!"

"Bang!"

After continuous hammering, the padlock finally fell off, and Chen Ge kicked the door open without hesitation!
