After hearing Chen Ge's analysis, several policemen were surprised. Chen Ge's usual performance was far from being quick-witted, but once he arrived at the crime scene, he could always find something. It was as if this guy was born to solve murders.
"Let's go and check out the tenth floors of the other buildings." Captain Yan held the arm, and several people hurried downstairs and rushed to Building No. 2.
Just as Chen Ge guessed, they also found an arm in a room on the 10th floor of Building 2.
"Take photos first, don't destroy the scene. The murderer should have left something behind after burying the body."
After Li Zheng took the photos, several people entered Building No. 3 again.
This building is only half built, and there is not even a railing in the corridor. If you are not careful, you will fall down.
“Be careful!”
Several people walked along the wall and it took them a long time to reach the tenth floor, but something they didn't expect happened.
After searching all the rooms on the tenth floor, they did not find any body. They only saw a large piece of the wall that had been dug out in one of the rooms.
"Has someone been here before us?" Chen Ge touched the edge of the wall and remembered the electric bike he had seen in Building No. 1 before: "Captain Yan! Do you remember what I told you just now, that someone rode an electric bike past the police car? That person might be the murderer! He was the one who took away the female corpse's legs!"
"Go to Building 4 immediately!"
Several people rushed to Building No. 4 without stopping, but they were still a step too late. The murderer's purpose was very clear and he knew how to make choices. After taking away the legs of the female corpse, he evacuated decisively and directly abandoned the female corpse's hands.
"Even if we risk being exposed, we have to come back and take away the legs of the female corpse. It seems that there should be crucial evidence left on those legs." Tian Lei analyzed on the side, while Captain Yan stood in the middle of the room with a gloomy face.
"The murderer is so bold that he stole the legs of the female corpse right under the noses of the police." Chen Ge picked up the fragments on the ground and tried to piece them together: "The other party brought professional tools, such as hammers and iron spikes. What makes me curious is how the murderer knew we were coming? Did he leave spies in Mingyang Community? Or did he receive the news in advance? Or is the murderer someone we met tonight?"
Chen Ge was 90% sure that the man who had stolen the legs of the female corpse in advance was Jia Ming. Jia Ming was the only one who knew that the police were coming tonight. Another detail was that Jia Ming had an electric bike at home, and he had the accident while riding an electric bike.
Captain Yan understood what Chen Ge meant, but he had his own thoughts: "Eye gouging case, dismemberment case, these two cases in the western and eastern suburbs have one thing in common, they are full of ritual sense. Could there be some kind of connection between the murderers?"
"There shouldn't be any connection, right? The methods of committing the crime are different." Chen Ge was surprised at Captain Yan's intuition. The door in Liwan Town got out of control and it was related to the Ghost Story Association. Strictly speaking, the changes in Mingyang Community were due to Liwan Town, so if you really want to talk about it, the case hidden in Mingyang Community might really be related to the Ghost Story Association.
Twenty-five minutes later, people from the Dongcheng Police Station arrived.
Four police cars were parked in the Mingyang community. The Dongcheng Police Station, which had received its first homicide case in nearly half a year, made a large presence of the police and mobilized almost all the police officers they could contact.
"Captain Tian! We're here!"
"Stay where you are and follow Captain Yan's instructions." Tian Lei walked over to Captain Yan and said, "Captain Yan, our people have arrived. There are three groups in total."
"Group one, check the nearby surveillance cameras and look for a person riding an electric bike; Group two, stay at the scene and collect evidence; Group three, help me monitor a few people." Yan drew up a list, including the names Jia Ming and Huang Ling.
Chen Ge was standing nearby. He was originally planning to kill Jia Ming with a surprise attack, but when he saw Captain Yan's arrangements, he didn't dare to attack Jia Ming: "Captain Yan, what do you think I need to do?"
"I'll let you know the result tomorrow. After all, it's our job as police officers to handle cases. You've done a good job." Captain Yan turned to Tian Lei and said, "Find someone to take Chen Ge back. There's no taxi service here. He's worked hard tonight."
"Xiaoqing! Come here, I'll assign you a task."
"Here!" Xiaoqing was a little nervous as it was her first time to participate in a serious case investigation.
"Did you see that man? Drive him home." After saying this, Tian Lei left with Captain Yan, leaving the young policeman standing there alone.
"Nice to meet you again." Chen Ge smiled and greeted the young policeman: "You may have to start being busy from now on."
Xiao Qing always felt that Chen Ge’s smile was a little scary: “Stop talking nonsense, where is your home? The captain asked me to take you home.”
Chen Ge looked at the time. For him, nightlife had just begun at twelve o'clock in the evening, and he might not be able to sleep when he went back. "Wait a minute, I'll make a call."
According to Chen Ge's original plan, he was going to go directly to Fan Cong after meeting Ma Fu to experience the strange game, but who knew so many things would happen in the middle.
Taking out his cell phone, Chen Ge sent a message to Fan Cong.
What he didn't expect was that Fan Cong was still awake. A few seconds later, he replied to Chen Ge, saying that playing the game after midnight would reveal the problem more clearly. As long as Chen Ge was not afraid, he could go over now.
After getting Fan Cong's consent, Chen Ge asked Xiaoqing to drive him to Fan Cong's home, and he told Xiaoqing the address Fan Cong left.
"The first family compound on West Street in Liwan Town, East Suburb? There is such a place in Liwan Town? Don't you know the name of the family compound?" Xiao Qing searched for a long time on the Internet, and finally confirmed it. She drove the police car to send Chen Ge to Liwan Town.
This place is close to the county and is very desolate. The only advantage is that the air is fresh.
The police car drove into Liwan Town and saw a group of old buildings at the end of the road.
"Do you live here?" Xiaoqing looked at the deserted Liwan Town and felt inexplicably scared.
"This is my friend's house. I happened to be in the eastern suburbs, so I might as well go and take a look."
"Going to visit someone at twelve o'clock in the morning? Won't your friends beat you up?"
"Okay, go back first and be careful on the road."
After Xiaoqing left, Chen Ge stood alone on the West Street of Liwan Town: "Now think about it, Fan Cong's family lives in Liwan Town. This is something worth thinking about."
After making the call, Chen Ge entered Building No. 1 under the command of Fan Cong.
"Boss Chen, you really came. Come upstairs quickly." Fan Dade went downstairs in a vest to pick up Chen Ge. "My brother played all day again today. He seems to be possessed. You have to help me persuade him today."
"Yeah, don't worry."
The two came to the top floor. There was a mirror on the door of the house on the right, and the door of the house on the left was half open.
Fan Dade led Chen Ge into the house on the left and shouted into the bedroom, "Fan Cong, Boss Chen is here!"
When he heard his voice, there was a "crash" sound in the bedroom, as if something fell. Then the bedroom door opened, and Fan Cong, who had dark circles under his eyes and looked extremely haggard, poked his head out.
Chen Ge closed the door to the living room. He looked up at the mirror hanging on the door of the room across the street, took a picture, and then went into the room: "Fan Cong, how is the progress of the game? Have you made any new discoveries?"
"The plot is stuck. This game is not meant for people to play. I feel like I'm about to get depression." Fan Cong dragged Chen Ge into the bedroom and picked up a can of Coke that had been opened on the table at some point and took a few gulps.
"Stuck?" Chen Ge pondered for a moment: "How about I give it a try? I am also a professional designer of horror real-life games. If I can guide you from a designer's perspective, I might be able to give you a surprise."
