Chen Ge checked the date of all the messages, and they were all sent after midnight. This matched Wang Qi's description perfectly, but it was also the part that scared Chen Ge the most.
How did a dead body that was buried inside a wall manage to send messages every night?
A supernatural phenomenon? If this was really the work of a ghost, then how could the people who dug up the body still be alive and well?
"Someone must be behind this." Chen Ge had connected all the clues together, and he was certain of one thing. "The person who uses the dead woman's phone to send messages to Wang Qi every night is his fiancée's killer, and at the same time, the real culprit behind the case from five years ago."
"I think I know who the killer is." Chen Ge held the phone in his hand. "Wang Qi is treated as a madman by the tenants of the apartment, and the landlord chases him out every time they see him. This is the only person I've seen tonight who doesn't live in the apartment but keeps appearing around the apartment, so his place of residence must be very close to the apartment.
"But the key problem is, when I had a disagreement with the landlord about the price of the house, he told me that there is no place to stay within several thousand meters of this place, which means that Wang Qi can't be staying at another apartment or hotel. If that's the case, then there's a high chance that he's hiding inside this wooden house.
"If he is the owner of this wooden house, then everything makes sense. This poor man who has been searching for his missing wife every day with the missing person's notice is actually his fiancée's killer! "
Chen Ge could not believe that he had chatted with a murderer and even tried to open the man's mind to communicate with him.
His Adam's apple moved, and it was only now that he was afraid. "This madman must have been traumatized by something. He collected the dead woman's clothes and used the dead woman's phone to send me messages. Perhaps there's a second personality hidden inside his body, and whenever he falls asleep, it will take over his body."
The more he thought about it, the more scared Chen Ge became. He swiped the phone, trying to find more clues. "His fingerprints should be on the pink phone. This is evidence, so I have to keep it safe."
He looked at the screen. He didn't know if it was because he was too nervous that his eyes were blurred, or if it was because of some other reason. He saw a blurry reflection of a girl's figure on the screen. The child looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old and was wearing a blood-stained school uniform.
Chen Ge rubbed his eyes and was about to take a closer look when he suddenly felt a cold sensation on the back of his neck, as if something had touched it. This momentary stimulation made Chen Ge turn his head abruptly!
The air in the wooden hut seemed to freeze. Looking behind him, Chen Ge felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest.
The door had been opened without him noticing. Two meters away from him, Wang Qi's eyes were bloodshot as he slowly raised the axe in his hand!
Time seemed to stop. The two of them stood on opposite sides of the room, neither of them moving.
"Just a little bit more …" Wang Qi's voice was completely different from before. It was a suppressed madness, like an uncontrollable beast.
Chen Ge did not say anything. He gripped the mallet tightly, and his heart was filled with gratitude toward the ghost that had appeared on screen. If not for the ghost's warning, Wang Qi would have injured him already.
"Such a shame." Wang Qi took a step forward, and Chen Ge immediately held the mallet in front of him. "Calm down, you've seen everything on the phone, right?"
Chen Ge had no idea what this madman was planning, so he was on high alert.
"Actually, it's not that big of a deal." The tiredness on Wang Qi's face disappeared, and he was very excited. He was like a different person from before. "When you first entered the apartment and spoke to me, I told you that my wife must be hiding in the apartment. What do you think? I didn't lie to you, did I? "
He used the axe to pick up the clothes that his fiancée once wore. "After all, I was the one who pushed her into the wall."
As he spoke, Wang Qi's tone suddenly changed. His emotions fluctuated greatly like he was reminded of something painful. He grabbed the axe and slashed at the clothes. "I'm not wrong. She's the one who's wrong. She insisted on leaving, and I just wanted to do my best to keep her here."
Wang Qi blocked the door with the axe in his hand. He stared at the torn clothes on the ground. "I didn't want to do this, you know? I didn't want to do this either … "
No matter what Wang Qi said, it would not change the fact that he had killed someone, so Chen Ge did not take him seriously.
Gripping the mallet, Chen Ge sneakily pocketed the dead woman's phone. He stared at the door, waiting for a chance to escape.
"I'm a very annoying person. Everyone around me says that. No, even if they don't say it, I can feel it." Not only was Wang Qi a psychopath, but he also had a serious mental problem. Every time he spoke, it sounded like he was talking to himself. It was as if he had walked into a strange circle that he couldn't get out of.
When Wang Qi spoke, Chen Ge slowly adjusted his angle of view. He simulated three or four escape plans in his mind, like diverting the enemy's attention or luring them closer. However, due to the small space inside the wooden hut, the feasibility of these plans was low.
Wang Qi's voice became shriller and shriller. His mental state was very unstable.
The longer he stayed, the more dangerous it would be for Chen Ge. He decided not to wait any longer and stop thinking about random plans. His muscles tensed, and just as Wang Qi was about to lose control and swing the axe, Chen Ge kicked off the ground and charged at Wang Qi like a cannonball!
This was probably the boldest decision that Chen Ge had made in his life in the past twenty years. When facing a serial killer, he was even crazier than the killer!
The distance of two to three meters was closed in an instant. In the dark, Wang Qi's reaction was slower than Chen Ge's. Several minutes ago, Chen Ge had already aimed at Wang Qi's head.
"Bang!"
The mallet landed heavily on Wang Qi's head. Feeling the warmth on his wrist, Chen Ge kicked Wang Qi's lower abdomen and ran out the door!
After rushing out of the wooden house, Chen Ge ran into the forest. This time, he found the right direction. The trees thinned, and his vision widened. However, the danger was still there. He could feel that someone was following him from the forest. The flickering flashlight and the sound of branches breaking were the best proof.
Not daring to stop for even a second, Chen Ge ran like his life depended on it. It was not until he saw the cement road near the village that the sound behind him slowly disappeared.
"Those people should have left already." Following the cement road, Chen Ge ran another few hundred meters before he heard the sound of sirens. He looked down and saw lights coming from the end of the road, and a few police cars were approaching.
