"I was really spooked. I ran all the way home in such a panic that I didn't even close the front door." Gao Ru Xue still felt unsettled when she thought back to what had happened.
"Your choice was not wrong. The person who followed you at the time did not have good intentions."
The phone spirit had triggered Gao Ru Xue's fear to the maximum, causing her to have all kinds of illusions. No matter what happened, she would think the worst, but that had unintentionally saved her life.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ge received a call from Dr. Gao, who told him to go to the surveillance room.
He helped Gao Ru Xue up. The situation had not stabilized yet, and he was worried about leaving Gao Ru Xue alone.
The two went downstairs and entered the surveillance room. Dr. Gao and two security guards were gathered before the computer.
"Did you find anything?"
"Come and take a look." Dr. Gao had the security guard replay the footage, and a chilling scene appeared.
Not long after Gao Ru Xue entered the corridor, a person wearing an extra-large raincoat followed her into the corridor.
He followed closely behind Gao Ru Xue like a ghost.
Switching to the next camera, Gao Ru Xue had already reached the thirteenth floor. She ran to her door, and with shaking hands, she searched for the key to open the door. Even through the screen, one could sense her nervousness.
The person in the raincoat slowly approached. When he appeared on the thirteenth floor, Gao Ru Xue had not entered the door yet.
He picked up his speed, and as he ran, the raincoat's sleeves fluttered in the wind. From the camera, one could clearly see that he was holding a special metal tool that was covered in blood.
The distance between them closed, and when they were less than ten meters apart, Gao Ru Xue finally opened the inner door and hid inside the room.
The door closed, and the corridor returned to normal.
However, the person in the raincoat did not leave. He stopped before Gao Ru Xue's door, slowly squatted down, and hid in a blind spot that the peephole could not see.
At that moment, if Gao Ru Xue thought that the person had left and opened the door, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The time on the camera was changing, but the image appeared to be frozen. The culprit in the raincoat hid at the door.
"Could this person be the culprit of the eye-gouging case? The sharp object in his sleeve was the weapon that gouged out the eyes? "
While they were watching the surveillance video, the door of the security room was pushed open and two policemen walked in.
"We're from the Municipal Criminal Investigation Unit. Where's Dr. Gao?"
Chen Ge knew the person leading the group. It was Lee Zheng, who he had met at Fang Hwa Apartments. He was Captain Yan's right-hand man.
When Chen Ge recognized Lee Zheng, Lee Zheng also saw Chen Ge. He almost lost control and blurted out, "There was a murder in the neighborhood?"
"Almost." Chen Ge did not expect to meet Lee Zheng here. He also did not expect that Lee Zheng seemed to be familiar with Dr. Gao.
"If it wasn't for Chen Ge who discovered the culprit, my daughter would have died already." Dr. Gao was emotionally unstable. His daughter had almost been killed. It was hard for anyone to calm down in a short period of time.
Lee Zheng walked to the computer, and when he saw the person in the video, his expression changed. He took out his phone to call a number. "Captain Yan! Eyegouging suspect found in Xixia Lake district! Similar to the footage from earlier, the culprit is wearing a dark-colored raincoat! "
After giving the report, Lee Zheng requested for the people at the scene to cooperate and temporarily stay put.
About ten minutes later, Captain Yan arrived with his men. After a brief interrogation, he immediately set up surveillance on all the surrounding streets.
"Don't worry, we've already locked down the general location of the culprit. He won't be able to escape tonight!"
The commotion was much bigger than Chen Ge expected. Police cars, police dogs, and the streets were all blocked off. It was clear that the police had made up their mind this time.
"According to the surveillance, the culprit left the third building less than twenty minutes ago. If there is no vehicle to pick him up, then his activity range should be around this area." Captain Yan marked out a few spots on the map on his phone and sent it to their platform. "Everyone, listen up. Search from the outside to the inside, inch by inch! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find her! "
With Captain Yan's command, the investigation unit started to move like a precise machine.
After Captain Yan gave all the orders, Chen Ge leaned over. "Captain Yan, the culprit is covered in a raincoat, and none of you have seen his real face. Is there a chance that he might have fooled us?"
"Just because we haven't seen the culprit's face doesn't mean we can't recognize her." Captain Yan paid close attention to the movements of the other teams and told Chen Ge casually, "This culprit is cruel and cunning. She kills randomly, and there is no pattern to her crimes. This makes it very difficult to solve the case. However, no matter how cunning a fox is, it's no match for a good hunter. She thought her crime was flawless, but in our eyes, it was full of holes because she was too impatient. "
"We checked nearly a hundred surveillance cameras at five crime scenes. Through image comparison, as well as evidence such as hair and dander extracted from the crime scenes, we finally had professionals conduct a criminal psychological portrait and draw this picture."
Captain Yan pointed at his phone. On the screen was a beautiful woman with a perfect body.
"The culprit is a woman?" Chen Ge was surprised.
"Not only a woman, but a woman so beautiful that she doesn't look real." The walkie-talkie rang out. Captain Yan did not waste any more time with Chen Ge and started the second round of deployment.
Chen Ge thought about what Captain Yan said, and he had a vague idea of the real identity of this serial eye-gouging killer.
She was related to the Society of Strange Tales, had a beautiful face, and had mental problems. There was only one woman who fit all these criteria — Third Sick Hall's Room 6 patient, Han Bao 'er!
There was a sentence under this madwoman's case. Just how much did God want to destroy a person to give her such beauty?
Other than Wang Shenglong, this woman was the last patient at the Third Sick Hall.
If they could eliminate her, the completion rate of the Third Sick Hall's Trial Mission would exceed ninety percent, and they would get the hidden item as a reward!
"That should be her." Chen Ge retreated silently. "The real motive should be the door at my Haunted House. In other words, Han Bao 'er is also a member of the Society of Strange Tales. If I can capture or eliminate her, the Society of Strange Tales will only have one member left."
After confirming Han Bao 'er's identity as a member of the Society of Strange Tales, another thing was confirmed.
"No. 10 is much taller than Han Bao 'er, and he's a man, so I can confirm that Han Bao' er is not No. 10! If that's the case, the No. 10 that I'm familiar with is the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales! "
In less than a week, Chen Ge used the elimination method to find the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales.
