Chapter 547: Building 1, 1st Floor



After saying that, Chen Ge asked Xu Yin to hand the middle-aged woman over to Hong Yuyi.

"I'll wait for your news."

He did not stop at the station and took Xu Yin back to the No. 104 hearse.

The woman's wailing could be heard from the station. Blood was seeping out from under the red raincoat, like strands of silk threads cutting into the middle-aged woman's flesh.

Listening to the middle-aged woman's plea for mercy, Red Raincoat did not feel very happy. Her scarlet eyes looked at Chen Ge on the hearse, with a hint of complicated emotions in them.

Chen Ge did not use the middle-aged woman as a bargaining chip to threaten or force her to do something. Instead, he decisively handed the middle-aged woman over to Hong Yuyi. This move slightly increased Hong Yuyi's favorability towards him.

The No. 104 hearse drove out of the station and headed straight for the family compound where Fan Cong lived.

The rain outside subsided. Chen Ge took the electric bike off the bus and pushed it into the community.

After such a long time, it was already one or two in the morning. Chen Ge was worried about disturbing Fan Cong's sleep, so he sent him a message first.

Not long after, Chen Ge's phone vibrated. After seeing the message, Fan Cong called him directly.

"Boss Chen, are you downstairs now?"

"Yeah, I didn't disturb you, did I? I guess you might not be asleep yet."

"It's raining outside! I'll pick you up right away."

"No, I came here today mainly to ask you something."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge put the electric bike back to its original place, then took the key and entered the corridor.

When we arrived at the top floor, the door of Fan Cong's room was open.

"My brother is sleeping in the other room. He has to go to work tomorrow." Fan Cong was very excited when he saw Chen Ge: "Boss Chen, I have played several endings again. There are hidden Easter eggs in the game."

"I'm not here for the game this time." Chen Ge has not forgotten what happened in Jiujiang Mental Hospital. He wants to go to Jiang Long's house in the eastern suburbs to take a look.

In the game, after Xiaobu opened the door behind the closet in his classmate's house, the entire game style began to change. If Xiaobu's game is reflecting reality, then the out-of-control "door" in Liwan Town is likely to be in Jiang Long's house.

Chen Ge really wanted to see the difference between an out-of-control "door" and an ordinary door.

"It's not for the game? You ran so far at night just to return the car?" Fan Cong was dumbfounded.

"Returning the car is only one aspect. Let's go inside and talk." Chen Ge stood in the corridor with his bag on his back. He always felt that the stairs were eerie, as if something was eavesdropping on him from the ground floor.

After the door was closed, Fan Cong brought a towel to Chen Ge: "You're almost soaked, why don't you change into my clothes first?"

"No need." Chen Ge got straight to the point: "Fan Cong, you've also played Xiaobu's game. Have you noticed that the building where Xiaobu lives is very similar to Building No. 1 in your community?"

At first, Fan Cong didn't think they were very similar, but after hearing what Chen Ge said, his eyes gradually widened: "It's true. The community where Xiaobu lives is similar to the overall layout of our community."

"I plan to visit Xiaobu's classmate's house tonight." Chen Ge stood in the house. His clothes were wet, so he didn't sit anywhere.

"Go to classmate Xiaobu's house? In real life?" Fan Cong still couldn't keep up with Chen Ge's train of thought and couldn't figure out what Chen Ge wanted to do.

"I have already contacted the police. Xiaobu's classmate is now living in a mental hospital. I have also found out the exact location of his home."

Chen Ge's words made Fan Cong even more confused: "Boss Chen, don't you run a haunted house? How did you get in touch with the police?"

"Don't worry, I didn't reveal any information about the game. I contacted the police because of a dismemberment case."

"Dismemberment case?" Fan Cong's face turned pale.

"Yes, it's in Mingyang Community, not far from you."

"Near us?"

"Yes, the murderer has not been caught yet, but I already have a suspect." Chen Ge did not consider Fan Cong's feelings during the conversation. He ignored the impact of words like murder and dismemberment on ordinary people.

Hearing that Chen Ge was going to do such a big thing, Fan Cong also became nervous: "Then how can I cooperate?"

"After my investigation, I determined that Xiaobu's home is on the first floor of Unit 1, Building 1 in your community. You and your brother have lived here for so long. Have you noticed anything unusual?"

Building No. 1 is just opposite the building where Fan Cong lives, and he can see it just by opening the curtains.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with the other side. What you said makes me feel uneasy." Fan Cong replied with a wry smile.

"Don't worry, take your time to think about it. When your brother gets up tomorrow, you can ask him, or ask other old residents in the community." Chen Ge didn't expect to find anything right away: "Here are the keys to the electric bike. I put them on the table for you. Your bike has done a great job tonight."

Fan Cong didn't know what Chen Ge was talking about. He thought for a while and waved to Chen Ge: "Come with me. I've thought about it carefully. The building opposite is indeed a bit strange."

The two entered the bedroom and Fan Cong opened the curtains.

"Liwan Town is at the easternmost part of the eastern suburbs, with inconvenient transportation. Many people have moved away, and two-thirds of the houses in our community are empty." Fan Cong pointed to the building opposite: "When my brother and I first moved here, we were going to choose Building No. 1. The rent there is much cheaper than the other three buildings. But the owner of the house we live in now told me that Building No. 1 is not safe and that something bad will happen if you move in. In recent years, many people have disappeared inexplicably."

"Missing?" Chen Ge immediately thought of the out-of-control "door". He suspected that those people might have entered the "door".

"Yes, I saw someone move in, but from one day on, I never saw that family come out again. I don't know if they moved away or what happened."

"Didn't anyone of you call the police?"

"It's no use calling the police. East Suburbs is close to the county, and most of the people living here are from other places, with a high turnover rate. The police usually come to determine whether it is a serious case such as homicide. After finding no signs of struggle in the resident's home and everything is normal, they leave. Over time, no one thinks it is a big deal, and they are used to it anyway."

"Besides this, what else happened?" Chen Ge stared at the first floor of Building No. 1. All the windows on that floor were sealed. "Were those seals put up by the police?"

"Yes, there used to be someone living on the first floor of Building No. 1. She was an old lady who lived alone. She often told people that she saw a child standing outside the window at night. People in the community saw that she didn't seem to be lying, so they organized people to stake out and try to catch the child."

"What's the result?" Chen Ge was a little curious. When he mentioned the child, he would think of the ghost fetus mission.

Fan Cong shook his head. "In fact, there is no child. The old man must be old and confused. The people in the community watched all night but didn't see any children. Finally, after entering the old man's room to check, they found that the outside of the old man's window was full of oil and mud. Standing in the room, you can't see outside the window at all."

"I can't see clearly outside the window?" Chen Ge thought for a while: "Could it be that the child has been standing in the house?"
