Zhang Li moved slowly. He did not dare to turn his back to Chen Ge. After seeing Chen Ge enter the room, he added in a gloomy voice: "Don't close the door. Let's get some fresh air."
“Bang!”
Chen Ge locked the door and entered the house with the skull crusher in hand. He looked around.
The room was very simple, with a few ordinary pieces of furniture and a pungent smell of cheap cigarettes.
There was an iron plate piled with cigarette butts on the coffee table, and next to the sofa there were a lot of cigarette ashes and small holes that were accidentally burned.
"Do you like smoking?" Chen Ge moved a chair to sit in the living room near the door as if he was back home.
"Is this the first question?" Zhang Li stood beside the coffee table with a droopy face, looking quite restrained.
"Just answer whatever I ask. This is for your own good." Chen Ge looked at the cigarette butts on the iron plate. There were many kinds, but they were all very cheap.
"For my own good?" Zhang Li took a few steps back and leaned against the edge of the windowsill: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Chen Ge took out the security card from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table, then put away the skull crusher. "Who was the woman who went to the haunted house with you this morning?"
"My sister just resigned recently and is not in a good mood, so I asked for leave to accompany her to the park."
"When you two entered the haunted house, why did you intentionally avoid the students from Jiujiang Forensic Medicine? Were you worried about being recognized?" Chen Ge wove a big net for Zhang Li, waiting for Zhang Li to enter before slowly tightening it.
"Those students don't like me. If they recognize me, it might be troublesome." Zhang Li took a breath: "Besides, my sister and I have gotten used to it."
"Get used to what?" Chen Ge found that Zhang Li's words were full of meaning, as if he was hiding something.
"My sister used to study at Jiujiang Forensic Medical College. She had a conflict with another girl in the school because of something, and coincidentally, the girl disappeared the next day." Zhang Li clenched his fingers slowly: "Since then, some people in the school started to spread rumors that the girl's disappearance was related to my sister."
This is indeed a coincidence, otherwise Li Zheng would not have listed Zhang Shihan and Zhang Li as suspects.
Chen Ge nodded: "What did those students say?"
"At first, those bastards discussed it behind my sister's back, but later they just talked loudly in front of my sister. They said that the girl committed suicide because of the quarrel with my sister, which made her depression worse. Some even said that my sister was the murderer and that my sister hid the girl." Zhang Li said this, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it.
As the smoke rose, Zhang Li finally felt better. "Many students who used to get along well with my sister left her. My sister was about to collapse during that time. She even went to various places in the school to look for the missing girl, but unfortunately she never found her."
"No wonder you are so cold to the students of Jiujiang Forensic Medicine. I didn't expect such things to happen." Chen Ge looked at Zhang Li. He spoke after a long while: "The police have contacted me. In the case of the missing girl's murder, you and your sister are the key suspects. Their suspicion is not unreasonable. Considering the motive, time and ability of the crime, you are indeed the most suspicious."
"We didn't kill anyone! The girl's disappearance has nothing to do with us!" Zhang Li was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to show it. He could only bite the cigarette butt in his mouth and vent his anger on it.
"I know you didn't kill anyone. The real murderer is not you. You were just used." Chen Ge now heard Zhang Li recounting what happened that year. He finally understood how meticulous the person who set up this trap was. Not only did he deal with all the clues, he also used those students who did not know the truth to come up with two scapegoats and lead the police in the wrong direction.
When Zhang Li heard Chen Ge say in a very affirmative tone that they were not the real murderer, this man with a very bad personality looked at Chen Ge in surprise. He suddenly felt that the man in front of him was not so hateful.
"You are on leave at home today, so it is still unclear. The body of the missing girl has been found, and her murderer has surrendered himself." Chen Ge did not hide anything.
"Who is the murderer?" Zhang Li put out his cigarette and walked in front of Chen Ge.
"He's the well-dressed staff member in your school. His name seems to be Liu Zhe."
"Liu Zhe!" Zhang Li stood there, seemingly unable to accept this fact.
"Liu Zhe is only one of the murderers. Another one has not been found yet. We only know that the other murderer is related to the underground corpse storage."
"You guys?" Zhang Li noticed that Chen Ge's choice of words was rather strange.
Chen Ge's expression instantly became serious. He pointed at the locked door and said, "Don't tell anyone what I'm going to say to you next."
Zhang Li nodded nervously: "I'm the only one living on this floor, so there's no need to worry about anyone hearing it. I will definitely not tell anyone else."
"That's fine." Chen Ge took out his phone and showed the frequent call records between himself and Captain Yan of the Municipal Branch, Li Sanbao of the Xicheng Police Station, and Li Zheng of the Criminal Investigation Team 1, and then slowly said: "Actually, I am an informant arranged by the police, and I have cooperated in investigating many cases."
Zhang Li seemed to understand, but he didn't know why, but he gradually felt that Chen Ge could still be trusted.
"You and your sister are in a bad situation right now." Chen Ge then threw out another bombshell: "There is still a murderer who has not been caught. The situation is still very dangerous. He is very familiar with the Jiujiang Forensic Medical College and should be hiding near you. We are not sure who it is yet. In order not to cause panic, I came here to find you to learn more about the situation."
"I will tell you everything I know." Zhang Li's voice was no longer so suppressed. He sat next to Chen Ge, and his attitude was completely different from before.
"We need information about the underground morgue. The more detailed the better." Chen Ge spoke directly without any hesitation.
"Didn't the school provide you with a copy last time you came here?" Zhang Li was a little confused, but he still chose to believe Chen Ge: "There are old architectural drawings of the morgue in the library archives. If you need, I can take some photos for you."
"Architectural drawings are only one aspect." Chen Ge was not satisfied: "You have been a security guard in the school for so many years. Have you ever found any strange things running out of the underground morgue? Or have you encountered any bizarre incidents?"
