Chen Ge gritted his teeth and tried not to make a sound. When he saw the body, he immediately messaged Heshan, "Call the police, call the police!"
The light was too dim, and there was a door between them. The viewers had no idea what was happening. Chen Ge did not have time to care about them. He leaned closer to the door and did not dare blink.
"So, this is what they're trying to dig up." Chen Ge hid behind the wall. He did not dare make any sudden movements. This was the most dangerous and tense moment. The tenants were only a few steps away from him. If they turned to enter the room, they would discover Chen Ge.
"Stop wasting time, dig!" The landlord cursed and walked over with the tools. He placed the sack on the ground and started to clean up the cement around the body.
Perhaps afraid of waking up the tenants downstairs, their movements were light, and they did not make too much noise.
The wall was cut open, and the cement kept falling. Perhaps it was from the heat or fear, but they were all sweating profusely.
They worked together, but this was the first time they had done something like this. They were afraid, and their progress was slow.
About ten minutes later, they finally pulled the body out from the wall and placed it inside the sack.
"Fatty, you stay here to clean up the wall. The rest of you, follow me to the back mountain. We'll find a place to bury her." The landlord held the drill and ordered.
"I'll go with you!" The chunky man said without thinking. After digging out the female body, he was almost exhausted. How could he dare to stay in this place alone?
"Look at you! Juan Er, stay here with him. We'll meet up at the back mountain. " The landlord said a few words to the only woman in the room, and then he and the tattooed man carried the sack downstairs.
He limped as he walked, and his footsteps were light and heavy. When he passed the room that Chen Ge was hiding in, he suddenly stopped.
"Why is there so much cotton on the ground?"
Hearing the landlord's voice, Chen Ge's heart rose to his throat. The doll was torn open, and some of the cotton and paper fell to the ground. The voice-activated light came on, and he did not have time to pick them up.
"Let's not think too much about it. This thing is so heavy. Let's bury it first." The tattooed man urged them from behind, and the landlord did not pursue the matter. The two of them walked past the door that Chen Ge was hiding in, and they seemed to have gone far away.
"Fatty, don't just stand there. Get to work." The woman and the stout middle-aged man began to clean up the trash and wipe the bloodstains off the tools. A few minutes later, the two of them carried a large bag downstairs.
The footsteps gradually faded away. When the third floor became quiet again, Chen Ge finally dared to take a deep breath. He was very cautious and looked out through the crack of the door.
The corridor was dark. The tenants had all left.
"F * ck! You scared me to death. "
After waiting for another three minutes and seeing that there was still nothing out of the ordinary, Chen Ge slowly pushed open the door and walked out.
To avoid being discovered, he did not turn on his phone's flashlight. With one hand on the wall, he slowly moved forward.
"Based on their conversation, even though they are not good people, the female body inside the wall has nothing to do with them." Speaking of which, these people were quite unlucky. After they occupied the old man's apartment, they found a dead body inside the wall. A normal person's first reaction when they found a dead body would be to call the police, but these people were not innocent. On one hand, they were afraid that the police would investigate their criminal record, and on the other hand, they were afraid that the person who lived in the same building as the dead body would be a nuisance. Left with no choice, they chose to help the real killer by digging up the body and burying it.
"No wonder the landlord has told me not to go out after midnight." Chen Ge's eyes had gotten used to the darkness. He picked up his pace and prepared to leave the apartment as soon as possible.
He moved as softly as he could. Chen Ge did not plan to take his backpack and went straight to the first floor.
"This is bad." The front door of the apartment was locked, and he was trapped inside the building.
"Those people went to bury the body, but they didn't forget to lock the door before they left?" Chen Ge had a bad feeling about this. "The windows on the first floor corridor are installed with anti-theft netting, and the windows on the third floor are boarded up. The only way out of this building is through the window on the second floor."
The atmosphere inside the apartment was strange. Chen Ge did not want to stay any longer. He grabbed the mallet and returned to the second floor.
The corridor in the dark was long and deep, like the open maw of a beast. Once he entered, he would be bitten into pieces.
"It's so quiet." Chen Ge's own room was on the left side of the corridor, right next to the landlord's room. He was on high alert, afraid that one of the doors would suddenly open.
Slowing down his footsteps and maintaining his breathing, Chen Ge used more than a minute to reach the door of his room.
"Thankfully, there was no accident. I'll tie the bedsheet to the window frame and go down from the second floor." Chen Ge took out the key and used the dim light from his phone to find the keyhole. He was about to insert the key when his arm froze in midair.
"Where did the strand of hair that I placed in the keyhole disappear?"
His hair stood on end, and fear rushed at him from all directions. Chen Ge felt his limbs go cold.
"Someone has been inside my room! They know that I'm not in my room! "
His breathing became shallow, and it felt like there was a block of ice stuck in his lungs.
"When did they get in? Was it after they dug up the body? Or when they found the cotton on the ground? " Actually, it was pointless to think about that now. Chen Ge retreated. He looked at the room that he had stayed in before, and he soon calmed down. "I can't go back. Those people are probably inside my room now! Perhaps they're hiding behind the door with the drill! "
His strong mental fortitude allowed Chen Ge to adjust his mental state. He had to escape as soon as possible. The longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would be.
Retreating step by step, Chen Ge did not make a sound. He knew very well that the only way to leave the building was through the window on the second floor. All other routes were blocked.
Inside the dark and silent corridor, Chen Ge silently retreated to the rightmost side of the corridor. This was the place that was furthest from his room on the second floor.
"Those tenants are more dangerous than I thought. Whether I can survive tonight or not depends on this!" Chen Ge gritted his teeth. He raised the mallet and slammed it heavily on the door lock of the rightmost room.
"Bang!"
The silence that enveloped Ping An Apartment was shattered. Chen Ge hammered on the door like a madman. Following the loud bangs, the thing that he did not want to see the most happened.
On the leftmost side of the corridor, Chen Ge's original room, Room 208, was pushed open! Hearing the commotion, the tattooed man and the landlord rushed out with the drill and cleaver in their hands!
"Open the door!"
"Bang!"
