Chen Ge was glad that he had not said anything bad about Zhang Ya behind her back. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I just felt that the dance studio was too stuffy, so I wanted to come out and get some fresh air."
Red blood flowed from the collar, soaking the body again and again. Zhang Ya stared at Chen Ge for a long time, then raised her pale and slender arm and pointed in the direction of the campus office building.
"Where do you want me to go?" Before Chen Ge could continue asking, Zhang Ya disappeared.
Chen Ge was now only a few meters away from the school gate. He was a little conflicted. If he went to check, he might run into danger again. But if he just left, he would feel reluctant.
"Zhang Ya's attitude towards me seems to have softened a bit. Her hint should be related to the case four years ago. However, there seems to be more than one terrifying person similar to Zhang Ya in this school. It would be safer for me to wait for the police to arrive before going in."
After climbing out of the campus, Chen Ge stood guard outside the door holding a tool hammer. He was not sure whether Zhang Peng was still alive, so he was on high alert, ready to rush out and finish him off at any time.
Fifteen minutes later, dazzling headlights pierced the darkness as two police cars drove in from the end of the road.
Chen Ge came out from the roadside and waved the flashlight on his mobile phone: "I'm here!"
The police car stopped in front of the gate of Xicheng Private School, and Captain Li and another completely unfamiliar policeman walked out.
"Uncle Li, you guys are pretty quick." According to Chen Ge's estimation, it would take at least half an hour for the police to arrive.
"We received a report from a taxi driver who said he had encountered robbers and was originally planning to come to Xicheng Private College." Captain Li had dark circles under his eyes. He had been working intensively for several days in a row.
"Thank you for your hard work. Come in quickly. Zhang Peng should still be in school!" Chen Ge pointed at the abandoned school gate, and his look was as if he was welcoming someone to his home.
"Dayong." Captain Li waved to the back, and a sturdy, 1.9-meter-tall policeman took out hydraulic pliers from the trunk and opened the school gate. "Follow the rules and regulations after entering the campus. The suspect is very cunning. Don't separate your twos."
He turned around and glanced at Chen Ge: "Where was the last time you saw the suspect?"
"I don't know the suspect's location right now, but I have another thing to report to you." Chen Ge walked to Captain Li and looked at the office building Zhang Ya pointed to: "Captain Li, I'll take you to a place."
"Dayong stays, and the rest of you proceed according to the plan." Captain Li called the 1.9-meter-tall policeman, and the two followed Chen Ge into the office building together.
This building has only three floors, but its decoration is much better than other buildings outside.
"Why did you bring us here? The suspect has been here before?" Captain Li held a flashlight, his eyes sharp, the fatigue on his body had dissipated. As soon as he entered the crime scene, he seemed like a different person.
"Zhang Peng should not have entered the office building." Chen Ge walked in front, recalling the specific location of Zhang Ya's finger: "The place I took you to is related to the girl's suicide four years ago.
"Didn't I tell you that I would help you investigate after Zhang Peng is arrested? Let's put things in perspective. The most urgent task now is to catch Zhang Peng."
"We're here. This is the room." Chen Ge did not answer Captain Li. The reason why he waited until the police arrived before entering the office building was just to minimize the risk.
There was a sign on the door saying "Sports Equipment Room". After tearing off the seal and kicking the door open, Chen Ge and Captain Li went in.
Various balls were piled up randomly in the house, and badminton rackets, table tennis rackets and other sports equipment were placed on the cabinets against the wall.
"You brought us in just to see these?" Captain Li swept his flashlight around every corner of the room. "What can they prove?"
"Sports equipment management..." Chen Ge walked to the middle of the room, rummaging through the drawers and finally stopped next to a single bed behind the drawers.
There is also a single bed like this in the dance room. It is much narrower than a normal bed and must be specially made.
"Is there someone on duty in the Sports Management Office?" Chen Ge lifted the bed board with doubt, and a shocking scene appeared.
Under the worn and moldy bed, there were more than a dozen ballet shoes of different sizes, one pair of which was stained black and red with blood!
"So many?" Looking at the dancing shoes under the bed that seemed to be specially collected by someone, Chen Ge couldn't tell whether he was angry or shocked. The case of West City Private College might be even more heinous than he imagined.
"There is more than one victim." Chen Ge said loudly to Captain Li, "Why did the dancing shoes of the girl who jumped from the building appear here? Didn't your report mention the girl's shoes?"
"There is no record of shoes." Captain Li frowned. "Under the bed in the closed room, the dancing shoes are still covered with dust. It seems that these shoes have been here for a long time. All the shoes are neatly arranged, as if someone is collecting them. This person must have a special hobby."
"Uncle Li, you are a policeman, you have to stand up for the victim." Chen Ge threw the bed board aside: "The murderer who forced the girl to death was able to freely enter and exit the dance studio and sports equipment management room. His identity is likely to be an administrator or something like that."
"If it's really as you said, the scope of investigation is indeed much smaller." Captain Li was attracted by the pair of black and red dancing shoes, and he was also somewhat moved: "Don't worry, I will definitely investigate this case to the end. No matter who the murderer is, he will be brought to justice!"
After Captain Li said this, Chen Ge's black cell phone vibrated. He took it out and glanced at it.
New information appeared on the phone screen:
"Successfully found Zhang Ya's red dancing shoes before dawn. The mission to improve Zhang Ya's favorability has been completed. The mission completion rate is 50%."
"You are the one! Zhang Ya's affection for you has increased! You can write down one thing you want her to do on Zhang Ya's exclusive page (note: you cannot go against Zhang Ya's wishes)."
Chen Ge looked at his phone and quietly retreated to the door of the house: "Although tonight's experience was full of twists and turns, the result was still good."
He clicked on Zhang Ya's exclusive page and looked at the screen that instantly turned blood red. "As long as my request does not violate Zhang Ya's wishes, it's fine."
After thinking for a moment, Chen Ge wrote a sentence at the bottom of the screen: "I hope Zhang Ya will always listen to me."
"I'm sorry, you went against Zhang Ya's wishes. Please change your request."
"I hope Zhang Ya can protect me from getting hurt."
"I'm sorry, you went against Zhang Ya's wishes. Please change your request."
"I hope Zhang Ya won't hurt me, and won't have the thought of killing me! Is that okay?"
"I'm sorry, you've seriously violated Zhang Ya's wishes. Please change your request."
