The two girls were squeezed together with their backs pressed against the wall. They nodded when they heard what Chen Ge said.
"Don't be nervous. Answer my questions. Just tell me the truth." Chen Ge swung the hammer in his hand. "I won't hurt you unless you're lying to me."
"Ask away. We'll tell you everything we know." Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian's faces were pale, and their bodies were shaking. They stuttered.
"What are your names? Which dormitory do you live in? Who's the counselor? "Chen Ge wanted to use the information that he already knew to test the man.
The two girls told Chen Ge everything they knew. Even if Chen Ge did not ask, they told him everything.
"Looks like you're just normal students. Then why would you come to this place so late at night?"
"There's a legend around the school about a statue. If you can find it after midnight, you can ask it a question." Ma Yin told Chen Ge why she and Liu Xianxian were there. To prove that she was telling the truth, she even took out her phone to show Chen Ge the video.
This was the first time that Chen Ge had seen the video left behind by Ma Yin's sister before she disappeared. The victim hid under the bed to record it. There were blood stains everywhere, and it appeared like a crime had just happened in the room.
The video was only thirteen seconds long, and at the last second, the video paused on the woman at the window.
"My sister's disappearance should be related to the woman with the skin disease," Ma Yin said softly.
"Don't be so quick to jump to conclusions. The victim hid under the bed to record the video. The cover was dangling, and the blood-stained bedsheet peeked out from the gap of the cupboard. Obviously, a murder had just happened in this room. In other words, other than the person who recorded the video, there were other victims. " Chen Ge rewatched the video. There was a rope hanging from the middle of the room, giving the impression that someone was trying to hang themselves, but there was no chair on the ground. Did the killer want to create the illusion that the victim had committed suicide? Even though the room was a mess, the weird thing was that the artworks on the bookshelves were neatly arranged, and the sculptures next to them were undamaged. This bedroom shouldn't be the first crime scene. "
A man who looked like a madman was analyzing the case seriously on his phone. Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian were not used to this. They did not know whether they should be afraid or show other emotions.
"The woman on the edge of the windowsill is indeed very suspicious. From the lines of her muscles and the point of force she exerts, I can tell that her feet are stepping on something. If there are no protrusions outside the room for people to step on, it means that this room is on the first floor of a building. " Chen Ge's eyes met the woman's face in the video. "Of course, the premise of all this is that the woman is not a ghost."
Just as Ma Yin was about to change her opinion of Chen Ge, he suddenly said something that she could not understand.
"Ghost?"
"Look at the woman's skin color. Does she look normal?" Chen Ge returned the phone to Ma Yin.
"Then, based on what you've said, she has to be the killer!" Ma Yin recovered some energy.
"Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about ghosts? Not all ghosts will harm people. Look at the woman's eyes; there is no malice in them. Furthermore, if she's the real killer, why didn't she leave immediately after the murder? Why did she stay at the window to watch? "
Ma Yin did not know how to argue with Chen Ge. This was the first time she had met someone who was willing to help a ghost.
Her palms were sweating, and she wondered, Could this man be a ghost as well?
Chen Ge realized that Ma Yin seemed to be even more afraid. He had no idea which of his words had touched the woman's heart. "Alright, there are no other questions. Bring me to the sculpture."
"The sculpture is inside the storeroom. It's not that clean," Ma Yin stammered. "I think it's haunted."
"What kind of ghost?" Chen Ge asked subconsciously, but his question stunned Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian.
How was she supposed to answer that?
Ma Yin's forehead was covered in cold sweat. When a normal person heard that it was haunted, even if they were not afraid, they would be suspicious. Why would this man ask directly what kind of ghost there was? Were there different types of ghosts?
"I don't really understand." Her voice was shaking, and Ma Yin felt tears welling up in her eyes.
"Bring me to it."
Chen Ge's voice was firm. Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian did not even think about resisting. They supported each other and limped to the entrance of the underground storeroom.
"Theme park?" Chen Ge saw the crooked name on the door. "Why would they name this abandoned storeroom 'theme park'? Are there many entertainment facilities inside? "
Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian shook their heads. They had no idea.
"This place is quite interesting." Chen Ge squatted down and touched the small scratches on the wooden door. He poked his fingernail into the scratches, and the depth was just right. "These scratches were probably carved out by hand."
The scratches on the wooden door were so dense that it was uncomfortable to look at them.
"The number of monsters is more than I expected." Chen Ge pushed the door open and strode ahead. "Where is the statue you mentioned?"
"Behind the racks at the back of the storeroom," Ma Yin reminded softly. "There seems to be something weird inside the photocopier and computer. When we entered earlier, the chairs and tables moved on their own."
"Inside the photocopier?" Ma Yin's words successfully piqued Chen Ge's curiosity, and he rushed toward the photocopier.
The chairs and tables blocked the way, and the floor was littered with white papers. Each one of them had a man's face printed on it.
"It's so ugly, but hiding inside the photocopier is a good idea."
Chen Ge looked at the photocopier that had stopped working. He plugged it in and turned on the computer screen.
But strangely enough, the computer before him seemed to have been abandoned for a long time. He pressed on it for a long time, but there was no response.
"What's going on?"
The two girls were spooked as well, and they started to cry. "We're not lying to you. There's a ghost inside the photocopier, and I saw it!"
Ma Yin opened the cover of the photocopier, but there was nothing inside. "Where did it go? Was it here earlier? "
"I know you're not lying. It probably escaped earlier." Chen Ge moved the chairs and tables away. Those that were stuck together were smashed apart, and soon, the path was cleared.
The two girls followed behind him. Seeing Chen Ge swing the hammer, the thought of escaping disappeared from their hearts.
The three walked to the end of the shelf, and Chen Ge finally saw the ugly statue.
"This is the statue that can cry?"
"Yes, it can verify the authenticity of a statement. If the statement is the truth, it will cry tears of blood. We've already tested it, and it's real."
Chen Ge nodded. He did not really understand the theory behind the statue, but that was not a problem. If he did not understand, he could just ask.
