"Since when was there another one?" Chen Ge was startled and immediately ran toward the female dormitory.
The woman behind Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin seemed to have noticed him as well, and she turned to look at Chen Ge.
Her gray skin was suffused with death, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"This face?" Chen Ge could see clearly that the woman behind Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin was the woman who appeared outside the window at the end of the video on Ma Yin's phone!
The facial features and gaze were the same. Without thinking, Chen Ge rushed forward.
"Be careful!"
He shouted, but Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin did not seem to hear him.
The gray-skinned woman placed her hands on Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin's shoulders. She leaned close to their ears and whispered something to them.
Due to the distance, Chen Ge could not hear the woman's voice clearly. He could only see Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin's bodies stiffen, and their eyes glazed over like they were sleepwalking. They walked forward with their eyes closed.
"Ma Yin! Liu Xianxian! "
As if Chen Ge's shout had an effect, the two girls slowed down, and their expressions changed slightly like they were having a nightmare.
They were struggling, but the result was different from Chen Ge's expectation. The two girls did not wake up, and they collapsed to the ground after a few steps.
The woman behind them looked at Chen Ge deeply. She pointed at her heart and made a strange gesture before turning to run back into the female dormitory.
The woman disappeared in the blink of an eye. Chen Ge saw a hole on her shoulder like it had been shot through by a bullet.
"Why would she point at her heart? Is she threatening me? "
Chen Ge ran to the female dormitory and knocked on the dormitory manager's window. His earlier shout had already woken the manager up.
"Someone has fainted! He's at the entrance of the dormitory! "
At three or four in the morning, a man knocked on the window of the female dormitory. The manager was so scared that she did not dare come out. She used her phone to call the security and the school.
…
There was a glass of cold water on the table. Chen Ge glanced at the clock on the wall; it was 5: 40 am.
The light fell on him. He held the table with both hands and looked at the eight people across from him calmly.
There were police, security, and teachers.
"I've told you many times, I'm not a pervert, and I didn't knock the two girls out. You can question me, but remember what you're saying. When the two girls wake up, I want you to apologize to me personally. "
"Chen Ge, we trust you, or else Captain Yan wouldn't have arranged for me to come here personally." Lee Zheng had dark circles under his eyes. More than ten hours ago, the two of them had just parted ways. More than ten hours later, the two of them met again in a different venue. When he saw Chen Ge now, he felt like he had run into a colleague at work.
"The two girls came to my Haunted House in the morning yesterday. I could tell they had something on their minds, and after some questioning, I found out that the taller girl's older sister has gone missing. This has been her biggest worry." Chen Ge held his chest. "Perhaps you think my actions are weird. I'm not related to them, so why would I help them? But I want to tell you, my parents disappeared half a year ago as well. Sometimes, only those who have experienced it can empathize, so I want to help them! "
Chen Ge's voice echoed in the office, and it was very infectious.
"The two girls fainted at the entrance of the female dormitory at 3 am. We've checked the surveillance, and you were the only one following behind them. If you're not the killer, then who could it be?" The person who spoke was a man in his thirties. He had a good sense of fashion. He usually stayed in the staff dormitory, so when he heard the incident, he rushed over immediately.
"I didn't see anything. It could have been anyone, including you." Chen Ge had no intention of backing down. "The fainting of the two girls might not look that serious, but there's a bigger case behind it."
Chen Ge's eyes were cold. Other than the few officers, the others felt chills run down their spines.
"As I said earlier, the two girls came to my Haunted House to find me. One of them is called Ma Yin, and her older sister has gone missing. The reason she got into Western Jiujiang Medical University is to find her missing sister because her sister used to be a student here … "
Chen Ge told them about Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin going out every morning to look for the statue in the school's ghost story.
"Most urban ghost stories are made up, but there are a few that are based on the real story. However, as people continue to spread the story, it gets exaggerated." Chen Ge took a sip of the water in his cup. His voice was calm, but his brain was moving fast, trying to figure out how to divert everyone's attention.
"You mean, the ghost story of the crying statue is based on a real story?" Lee Zheng was familiar with Chen Ge, so he knew that Chen Ge would not lie to anyone.
"There is a video on Ma Yin's phone. It was sent to her by her sister before she disappeared. The crying statue appeared in the video. If we can find the owner of the statue, we'll be able to find her sister's killer!" Chen Ge gripped the cup with both hands, and veins popped on the back of his hands.
The people in the room could not accept this. They had thought this was just a case of a pervert stalking a female student, but it turned out to be a murder.
"We've found the video you mentioned," Lee Zheng said with a strange expression. "The video was not taken using Ma Yin's phone. Several years ago, when Ma Yin's sister disappeared, her parents came to Jiujiang to ask for our help. At the time, they provided us with the video, but according to the technician's analysis, the video was not sent by Ma Yin's sister; it was filmed by Ma Yin herself."
"Ma Yin filmed it herself?" Things were not as Chen Ge expected.
"Yes. To be precise, on the day Ma Yin's sister disappeared, Ma Yin was with her, but Ma Yin could not remember what happened that day." Lee Zheng looked at his phone. "We have the case file. A few years ago, her parents came to ask about it, but they only gave up recently."
Lee Zheng sighed. "When Ma Yin's sister disappeared, Ma Yin had not even started university, but now she's about to graduate."
"No wonder she's been in such a hurry to find her sister." After hearing what Lee Zheng had to say, Chen Ge felt uncomfortable. He turned the cup in his hand and was suddenly reminded of something. "The video was taken from a first-person perspective, so obviously, a murder case has happened inside the house. When I saw the video, I was certain that there were other victims inside the house."
"Now we can confirm that the video was not sent to her by her sister; it was filmed by her."
"In other words, it was her who was filming under the bed! And the victim inside the room was her sister! "
"The killer was inside the room, so how did she manage to escape?"
"At the last second of the video, she saw the woman leaning on the windowsill. Is it possible that it was the strange woman who saved her?"
"The fact that she lost a day's memory might have been the strange woman's intention as well. The woman did not want Ma Yin to remember these things."
With that thought in mind, Chen Ge stood up. "Have Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian woken up? Hurry up and check on the two of them. I suspect that the two of them might have forgotten what happened last night! "
The woman who had followed Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin into the female dormitory that night was the woman who had been leaning on the windowsill several years ago. Several years ago, she could cause Ma Yin to lose her memory, and now, she could still temporarily make Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian forget their past.
"Don't worry, I'll call the doctor now." Lee Zheng called a number. "Doctor Zhang, have the two girls woken up? Is it convenient for us to go over now? "
The doctor's voice did not sound too optimistic. "They've woken up, and they're fine. However, they seem to have been traumatized, and their mental state is not that stable."
"Okay, then we'll go over now." Lee Zheng and another police officer led the way. The security from the medical school and the male teacher who loved cleanliness surrounded Chen Ge in the middle. They did not seem to trust Chen Ge.
The group arrived at the nurse's office. Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin were lying in bed, and their faces were pale.
"Are you feeling better? Regarding what happened last night, I have a few questions to ask you. "Lee Zheng moved a chair over, and as he sat down beside the bed, he saw Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin shake their heads in unison.
"Last night, we stayed in the bedroom. We don't know how we ended up in the corridor, but we don't have any recollection of it."
"Try to think about it. Last night, the three of us entered the underground storeroom together, and it was me who risked my life to save you!" Chen Ge squeezed his way to the bed, but he was stopped by the security and the doctor. They seemed to be worried that Chen Ge might scare the two girls.
Strangely enough, Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin, who had pale faces, calmed down when they saw Chen Ge, like the man before them could calm them down.
"I don't remember what happened last night, but I don't sense any malice from him." Ma Yin hugged her head. "I really feel like I've forgotten something important."
Liu Xianxian's impression of Chen Ge was deeper than Ma Yin's. Perhaps because Chen Ge had carried her all the way, even though she had lost part of her memory, when she looked at Chen Ge, she still felt like Chen Ge was a good and reliable person.
"He helped me and Ma Yin last night, but I can't remember the details. I only know that without him, Ma Yin and I would have been in danger." Liu Xianxian's tone was firm. Then, she smiled at Chen Ge and added, "Thank you."
"You already said that last night."
Chen Ge narrowed his eyes. The two girls' memory loss had to be related to the woman with gray skin.
Last night, he clearly saw the woman whisper something into Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin's ears, and then the two girls started to sleepwalk.
Being able to hide part of one's memory, this is the first time I've encountered such a power. Chen Ge thought to himself. Looking at Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian, he was reminded of another person — the police officer who was about to retire, Ol 'Wei.
The police officer had entered Coffin Village with Chen Ge, and at the last moment, he seemed to have run into No. 10 from the Society of Strange Tales. After that, he also lost part of his memory.
Ol 'Wei's symptoms are similar to Liu Xianxian and Ma Yin! Did this mean that he had also met the gray-skinned woman at that time? The Zhu woman said that No. 10 was carrying a dead body on his back. Could it be that No. 10 from the Society of Strange Tales was carrying the woman with gray skin?
When Chen Ge asked the statue about the Society of Strange Tales, the spirit inside the statue had disappeared. This showed that the underground morgue was related to the Society of Strange Tales as well.
The Society of Strange Tales has more than one door. One of them is the blood door at the Third Sick Hall, so could the other be the door to the underground morgue?
Chen Ge was shocked by his own thought. He felt like he was getting closer and closer to the real identity of the chairperson of the Society of Strange Tales!
No. 10 should be very familiar with Western Jiujiang Medical University.
He was familiar with Western Jiujiang Medical University, had seen his own Doctor Skull-cracker's mask, and had participated in a few cases. Suddenly, a person appeared in Chen Ge's mind.
"He Feng!"
When the Murder by Midnight scenario first opened, Heshan and a few students from Western Jiujiang Medical University had come to visit, and the tallest and oldest among them was He Feng.
At the time, Chen Ge had noticed how calm and collected the man was. He had even exchanged phone numbers with him and planned to become a teammate for his livestream.
"It can't be him, right?"
While Chen Ge was thinking, Liu Xianxian's eyes suddenly reddened, and she looked at a certain direction in the crowd.
Following her gaze, Chen Ge realized that the clean-looking man was avoiding his gaze, pretending to be calm.
"So, this is the person that Liu Xianxian likes."
Perhaps because beauty was in the eye of the beholder, the perfect man in Liu Xianxian's eyes was useless in Chen Ge's eyes other than being good at dressing up.
"The one-star mission given by the black phone hasn't been completed. I need to pay more attention to this man."
Ma Yin and Liu Xianxian personally vouched for Chen Ge. They both said that Chen Ge meant no harm, and with Lee Zheng's help, the incident finally calmed down.
When the sun rose, Lee Zheng led the university's security into the underground storeroom to retrieve the statue.
Then they contacted the people at the new campus and started to investigate the culprit who had placed the statue in the underground storeroom.
By then, there was nothing else for Chen Ge to do. When no one was paying attention, he grabbed his backpack and slipped out of the university.
Just as he was about to hail a cab and leave, he noticed that the man that Liu Xianxian liked had also sneaked out.
"This is the busiest time for the university. Where is he going in such a hurry?" Chen Ge hid inside the convenience store. After the man got into his car, he flagged down a cab and followed behind the man.
The cab drove for about ten minutes before stopping at the entrance to Fang Hwa Apartments.
"I heard from Lee Zheng that this man has been staying at the staff dormitory, right? Why is he here? "
Chen Ge did not have a good impression of Fang Hwa Apartments. He got out of the car and silently followed behind the man.
