"It should be fine as long as I'm careful." Chen Ge opened his backpack and shoved Xiaoxiao into his pocket. Then he took out the mallet and flashlight.
"What are you doing?" Dr. Gao heard the commotion and walked out from his bedroom. Looking at Chen Ge's strange appearance, he felt a headache coming on.
"Perfect timing." Chen Ge dragged Dr. Gao to the window. "Stay on the phone later. You stay in Room 304, and I'll go take a look at Room 303."
"Why are you going to Room 303?" Dr. Gao's eyes scanned the mallet in Chen Ge's hand before stopping on the doll in his arms, and his eyelids twitched.
"The cause of Meng Nan's illness should be in Room 303. I plan to go in to take a look before dawn."
"You plan to go there just like that? You even brought a doll with you? "
"If I'm alone, I might hesitate, but with your help, things will be different." Chen Ge called Dr. Gao and then placed the phone inside his chest pocket. "Stay on the phone."
Dr. Gao nodded instinctively. Holding the phone, he suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders, responsible for the safety of two 'patients' at the same time.
"Be careful!"
Chen Ge stood on the windowsill with his feet on the chair. He shoved the mallet into his pants pocket and leaned against the wall. Standing on the windowsill of Room 304, he used his feet to push open the window of Room 303.
"Dr. Gao, don't hang up. Be ready to help me." After saying that, Chen Ge's left hand gripped the window of Room 304. He leaned his body out of the window and extended his leg to stand on the windowsill of Room 303.
His center of gravity was still on Room 304. After his leg landed on the window, his hand that gripped the window loosened, and his body leaned toward the window next to him.
When he was two-thirds over, he aimed at the window frame of Room 303. He let go of his left hand and reached out with his right hand to grab the frame.
His right hand pulled, and Chen Ge used the momentum to move his body over.
"In order to treat a patient, he went to open a neighbor's window?"
Seeing Chen Ge disappear behind Window 304, Dr. Gao could not stop him even if he wanted to. In his more than ten years of practice, this was the first time he encountered such a situation while treating a patient.
Grabbing the window frame with his right hand, Chen Ge slowly squatted down, opened the window completely, and jumped in.
"I'm finally in."
Room 303 had not been rented out since the incident. The interior was basically the same. The room was covered in dust, and there were mottled stains on the walls.
The room was dark, and the cement floor was uneven. Chen Ge turned on the flashlight and found that there was an old and smelly carpet in the middle of the room.
"The other rentals, including the landlord's room, don't have carpets, but this room has carpets."
Chen Ge grabbed the edge of the carpet and lifted it.
A strong stench wafted out. Chen Ge covered his mouth and nose and threw the carpet aside.
It was not as cruel as he expected. There were only some old clothes lying under the carpet.
All the clothes were male, and they were of the same size, so they probably belonged to the same person.
"The smell of moldy clothes can't be so strong." Chen Ge used the hammer to move the clothes away, and he soon made a shocking discovery. There were several dead sparrows lying under the clothes.
"The bodies are intact, so the time of death should be within a week." When Chen Ge mastered the disguise talent, some basic knowledge about death had been added to his mind. "This room has not been rented out since the incident, but someone has moved in within a week and buried these things under the clothes."
Chen Ge felt like things were getting tricky, and this was slightly different from his previous speculation.
"Wang Haiming died in this room. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact location, but it shouldn't matter much. I'll search the whole room, and I'll find something." Chen Ge did not find anything valuable in the living room. He jumped over the clothes on the ground and entered the bedroom.
A steel bed was placed against the wall, and there was an old bookshelf near the headboard. There were several books on the shelf.
The pages were moldy from the dampness, and they gave off a faded stench.
Chen Ge checked all the drawers and cupboards, but he came up with nothing. In the end, he entered the bathroom with the mentality of giving it a try.
All the rooms in the apartment were similar. Once he opened the bathroom door, Chen Ge saw the mirror that was placed opposite the door.
With the flashlight shining on him, the reflection of Chen Ge in the mirror felt awkward compared to the real person.
He did not enter the room but merely looked around from the outside.
"There doesn't appear to be any clues left in this room." The room was not big, and Chen Ge had searched almost every corner of the room.
Standing in the middle of the living room, Chen Ge looked at the clothes that were hidden under the carpet. "This is weird. These clothes are all stained with blood. The blood of a few sparrows shouldn't be able to soak so many clothes."
With Yin Yang Vision, his vision was better than normal, and he slowly realized that something was wrong.
"There's something wrong with the clothes."
Holding the mallet in his hand, he inspected every piece of clothing. Finally, he found a plain grey jacket in the middle of the pile.
There were dark blood stains on the shoulders and back of the jacket. Wang Haiming had probably used this jacket to knock into the wall and injure his head.
Only a head injury would have such a distribution of blood.
"What is this?" Chen Ge shook the jacket, and for the first time, he found something else in the pocket.
He took something out of his coat pocket. It was cold to the touch. When he put it in front of him, he saw that it was a rusty iron key.
"I've seen this apartment's key before. It's a flat copper key, and this key is much bigger than the apartment key." Chen Ge could not understand why a useless patient who had been rescued from the mental hospital would have a key that did not belong to his own apartment.
"Did he pick this up from outside? But if he picked it up randomly, he wouldn't have kept it so carefully. " Chen Ge had no idea what the key could be used for, so he put it away. He was about to leave when the flashlight shone on the window.
The open window reflected a shadow. It was the tenant of Room 302, and he was leaning his upper body out of the window, trying to see what was going on.
"Why is he so concerned about me entering Room 303?" Chen Ge pretended not to notice. He focused on picking up the clothes, but his brain was racing. "Only the people from Room 302 and 304 can enter Room 303 without going through the door. Meng Nan from Room 304 is the victim, so the sparrows in Room 303 probably came from the young man in Room 302. "
