Being stared at by Tian Lei, Chen Ge was silent for a while, and then he said something that shocked everyone.
"Last night, when one of my employees and I sent Huang Ling home, she told us that her husband is a psychopath with a strong desire for control."
"It's not her who's crazy? It's her husband? "Tian Lei put down the phone." What evidence do you have? "
"Huang Ling has been working outside to support her family. Her husband, Jia Ming, locks himself up at home and does not interact with others. In terms of attitude, Jia Ming is more likely to be the patient." Chen Ge turned to Captain Yan. "I've asked Captain Yan to investigate Jia Ming. You can ask Captain Yan for more details."
"You haven't met him in person, and you're only investigating him from the outside. How can you come to this conclusion so easily? I've interacted with both Jia Ming and Huang Ling. Even Huang Ling thinks she's sick, but you say it's her husband who's sick. Do you know the patient better than the patient herself? " Because Tian Lei was worried about an accident, after receiving the driver's report, he personally went to Huang Ling's home early in the morning. He did not see the alleged murder, and there was no sign of domestic violence. There were no wounds on Huang Ling.
"I still insist on my own opinion. I feel like you've all been lied to by Huang Ling's husband. He used to be a kind and innocent person, but people change. Perhaps after experiencing the torture of life, there's a demon living inside his body." Things had developed differently from what he had expected. Before Huang Ling could get any information, she was already controlled. This gave Chen Ge a sense of danger. "This time, our opponent is very cunning. We can't let our guard down."
Chen Ge and Tian Lei argued back and forth, and the taxi driver was dumbfounded. The question of who was the psychopath and who was lying had never crossed his mind, but one thing was for sure — he would never drive to Eastern Jiujiang at night again.
"Both of you, quiet down." Captain Yan signaled for Chen Ge and Tian Lei to stop arguing. "Do you have the records of Huang Ling and her husband?"
"Only Huang Ling's husband. Huang Ling had a relapse last night, and we were worried that we might agitate her again, so we only asked a few simple questions." The Dongcheng Police Station that Tian Lei was in was more humane than the Xicheng Police Station. However, sometimes, being humane would affect one's subjective judgment.
"Your direction is wrong. Last night, it was Huang Ling who was with Chen Ge. She was the one who gave the driver her phone number and drove the car away. This woman is the key to this whole case." Captain Yan tossed the notes that the police station had prepared on the table. "Come, we'll go to Huang Ling's home now. I wish to meet them anyway."
"Are you going too? There's no need for that, just leave it to us. " Tian Lei did not realize the hidden danger behind this case and felt that their police station was completely competent.
"Since we've run into them, we'll go take a look. Ignoring the consequences is not something a police officer should do." Captain Yan opened the door and walked out. Lee Zheng and Chen Ge followed closely behind him. Soon, only Tian Lei and the driver were left in the room.
"Officer, what's the situation now? Can I go now? "The driver did not expect to get more compensation.
"Let's go together. You're the victim, so you have to be there." Tian Lei put on his cap and walked out of the office. "Xiao Qing, Ah Wen, you two stay here to watch the house. Call me if you need anything."
"Captain Tian, where are you going?" Xiao Qing had just finished cleaning the floor, but the drunkard vomited again.
"I'm working a case." Tian Lei waved and led the driver out of the station.
At around 9 pm, two police cars arrived at Huang Ling's home.
"Captain Yan, it's not a good idea for us to go there without notifying them, right?" Tian Lei jogged over after he got out of the car.
"Didn't you notify them in the morning?"
"That's against the rules …"
The group came to the fourth floor. They knocked for a long time before they heard footsteps coming from inside the house.
"Who is it?" The man was very alert and did not open the door.
"Officer, please open the door now."
"Officer Tian?" The front door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with a haggard expression poked his head out. "Why are you here? Didn't you ask everything in the morning? "
"Let's go in and talk." The group entered the house. Chen Ge followed at the back, keeping a low profile.
The house was not big, and it looked simple. The sofa was old, probably second-hand. There was a stain on the coffee table, and there was a bag of fruit candy on it.
"Have a seat." The middle-aged man looked much older than his actual age. He ran to the kitchen to pour a few glasses of water.
"Where's your wife? Is she feeling better? We have a few questions to ask her. " On the surface, Captain Yan was asking about Huang Ling, but in reality, his eyes were glued to the middle-aged man's face, watching for the change in his expression.
"She's much better. I'll go get her now." The middle-aged man walked to the bedroom door and knocked lightly on it. "Huang Ling, the police want to ask you some questions."
A moment later, a listless woman with a sallow complexion walked out.
"You're Huang Ling?" Captain Yan studied the woman before him for a long time. She looked very different from the picture. "Where did you run into Chen Ge last night? Why did you set up his phone to dial with one button? "
"I don't remember. I can't remember anything that happened last night." The woman sat on the sofa. She did not even look at Chen Ge.
"You have no memory at all?"
"No, no, no!" Huang Ling's voice suddenly rose, and she slammed her head with both hands.
Gu Ming, who was closest to her, did not go over immediately. Instead, it was Chen Ge and Tian Lei who went over to grab Huang Ling's arms. "Calm down!"
"I didn't see anything! I didn't see anything last night! "Huang Ling was very agitated.
"It's the same as when we came this morning. Once we ask about what happened last night, her illness will act up." After Tian Lei restrained Huang Ling, he turned to Captain Yan. "She's already sick, and she was probably traumatized last night, causing her condition to worsen."
"There has to be a trigger for this change." Captain Yan turned to Gu Ming, who stood to the side. "What were you doing last night?"
"I've been home the whole time. When Huang Ling came back, she was acting strangely. It was like she was being coerced by someone. It was the same symptoms she showed earlier. Whenever I asked her what she saw, she would hit her head like crazy." After Gu Ming said that, he sneaked a glance at them. "What happened to them last night? You should ask the driver and the man called Chen Ge. They were together last night."
Gu Ming was familiar with his wife's illness. After Huang Ling stopped struggling, he picked up a candy from the coffee table and placed it in Huang Ling's mouth.
Strangely enough, after the candy entered her mouth, Huang Ling soon calmed down.
"She likes candy?" Captain Yan and Chen Ge noticed this detail, and at the same time, they were reminded of Ma Fu, who they had met at the detention center.
When Ma Fu acted up, he could only calm down by eating candy.
"Candy isn't medicine. How come it has such an effect? "Captain Yan did not understand, but Chen Ge had an idea.
Ma Fu could only calm down after eating the candy because the souls of several children had crawled into his body. The children seemed to be very interested in the candy. Thinking about it, there was a high chance that there was one or more children inside Huang Ling's body.
"This is just a normal candy. If you don't believe me, you can take some with you." Gu Ming handed the bag of candy to Captain Yan.
Captain Yan did not accept it but took one away. "That's enough."
Huang Ling finally calmed down. Captain Yan did not ask her any more questions. He had Lee Zheng help her back to the bedroom. He and Tian Lei asked Gu Ming a few more questions.
They didn't leave until eleven o 'clock at night.
"Thank you for your cooperation. We will definitely find out the truth." Captain Yan walked at the front. After the few officers left the room, Chen Ge pulled his gaze away from the bedroom.
Only Gu Ming and Chen Ge were left in the room, and the temperature was slowly dropping.
"Friend, do you have any other questions?"
"It's nothing. It must have been hard for you to take care of a crazy woman." Chen Ge patted Gu Ming's shoulder lightly. He did not say anything else and walked out the door.
Downstairs, Lee Zheng took out his phone and sidled up to Captain Yan. "Earlier, Huang Ling and I went into the bedroom to take a look. We took a few pictures of the interior, and we didn't find anything wrong. This Gu Ming shouldn't be a suspect."
"The reason why Huang Ling went crazy must have something to do with Gu Ming," Captain Yan said with certainty. Captain Yan said with certainty, "When Huang Ling acted up, Jia Ming was closest to her, but he did not do anything. There are many small details like this."
"But based on Tian Lei's investigation, the neighbors all sympathized with Gu Ming. They thought he was a good person. Haven't we seen this man's work history? No matter how you look at it, he is a good person. How could someone like that torture his wife to the point of insanity? " Lee Zheng had studied criminal psychology before. There were signs and a process for one's personality to change. Gu Ming's behavior was different from what was described in the books.
"So, a good person will always be a good person?" Captain Yan looked at the candy in his hand and peeled the wrapper away.
"But a good person still has some basic morality in their heart, and they won't do things that are too ridiculous."
"You're wrong. When a good person turns into a bad person, it will only make them worse." Captain Yan popped the candy into his mouth and seemed to be talking about something completely unrelated. "Because they know that the candy is no longer sweet."
Opening the door, Captain Yan gave Lee Zheng one last order. "Thank you for your hard work on the eye-gouging case. Temporarily, Team 2 will take over the case in Western Jiujiang. Temporarily, you guys will continue to investigate Gu Ming and Huang Ling's case."
"Captain Yan, can't the Eastern Jiujiang Police Station take over this case? It's not a good idea for us to do that, right? "Lee Zheng said that because he was worried that the Eastern Jiujiang Police Station would object.
"That's why I asked you guys to investigate in secret." Captain Yan's fingers tapped on the edge of the window, and his expression turned serious. "Pay more attention. I have a feeling that there might be a big case behind this."
"I don't think so. Eastern Jiujiang has always been quiet." Lee Zheng also turned serious. He knew that Captain Yan would not say something like that.
"It was indeed quiet before, but now …"
Before Captain Yan finished, the door opened, and Chen Ge, who had just come downstairs, crawled into the police car. "I'm sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay, Lee Zheng. We'll go to New Century Park first and send Chen Ge back." Captain Yan and Lee Zheng did not continue the conversation.
"Thank you, but please drive faster," Chen Ge said casually. He had other things to do that night.
After the police left, he had touched Jia Ming's body. He had wanted to use the ghosts on his body to test the man, but after touching him, he realized that other than Zhang Ya, who was in his shadow, he did not carry any other ghosts with him. His backpack was still left at the Haunted House.
Zhang Ya could not be controlled by Chen Ge, and he was worried that his actions would alert Jia Ming, so he planned to return to New Century Park to grab all the props and turn back to test the man in a more direct way.
Before the police car started, an old lady suddenly walked out from the corridor.
The old lady walked shakily to the side of the police car and knocked on the window.
"How can I help you?" Captain Yan opened the door and walked out.
"Officer, my son bought a house for me in Ming Yang District. It's been a few years, and I haven't moved in yet. Can you help me ask when the house will be completed?" The old man sounded very pitiful. It was hard to reject him. "That's right.
"Ming Yang Residence? Okay, I'll help you ask. Go back, it's windy outside. "
Captain Yan sent the old lady away and returned to the car. "Go get Tian Lei. He should be more familiar with the place."
Lee Zheng called. Tian Lei stopped the police car and ran to Captain Yan's car. "Captain Yan, you're looking for me?"
"How much do you know about Ming Yang Residence?"
Tian Lei shook his head. "Ming Yang Residence has been closed for many years. The tenants complain every year. We've sent officers to talk to them, and we sympathize with their situation. We know that many of them have spent half their life's savings to buy a house, but there's nothing that can be done about it."
"There's nothing that can be done about it?" Captain Yan raised his head.
"There were three investors in total. The first died of illness, the second got into a car accident halfway through the construction, and the third jumped off the building in the middle of the night in the middle of the unfinished Ming Yang Residence. Many people say that place is inauspicious, so no one dares to take over the project."
"All three investors died, so it shouldn't be a coincidence." Captain Yan thought about it and told Lee Zheng, "Go back and organize the information on Ming Yang Residence."
"Okay." Lee Zheng signaled that he had no problem with it.
"Captain Yan, you'd better stay out of this. That Ming Yang Residence is a mess, and whoever touches it will be unlucky." Tian Lei seemed to agree with that.
"And you, go back and organize a document for me as well." Captain Yan rolled up the window and ignored Tian Lei, who stood next to the car with a bitter face.
The police car started, and after it left the area, Captain Yan suddenly turned to Chen Ge and asked a question out of the blue, "Chen Ge, did you know Jia Ming before this?"
"No, I didn't," Chen Ge answered subconsciously.
Captain Yan nodded, and his expression softened. "You'd better be careful. I feel like that Jia Ming is strangely hostile toward you. When I was interrogating him, he kept trying to push the blame onto you."
