"Stay close to the wall and stay away from the railing. Be careful not to fall." Captain Yan found Room 104 and entered it.
The biggest difference between this room and the other rooms was that there were all kinds of broken furniture in the room, and there were many children's graffiti on the mottled walls.
"It feels like a family of three once lived here." Chen Ge followed behind Captain Yan. With Yin Yang Vision, he did not need the flashlight, so he wandered around the room. "What is this?"
There were many dried apples next to the wooden table that was missing a leg, and underneath the table were bitten apples.
"The people who lived here probably loved apples." Chen Ge picked one up with a piece of paper. It was rotten, and there was mold growing on it. When he saw this, he was suddenly reminded of the apples he had seen in the underground morgue. "For cadavers, apples seem to have a special meaning. When there's time, I should ask the doctors."
"Look at this!" Tian Lei, who had a weak presence, suddenly spoke. He shone the flashlight on the left wall of the living room.
On the cracked wall, there was a slightly strange painting. Two adults and a girl were gathered together and talking. Not far away, there was a little boy drawing.
"These two adults should be the child's parents, the girl is their daughter, and the one drawing on the wall is the boy." Lee Zheng tried to analyze. "So, it's a family of four."
"When we asked Jia Ming earlier, didn't he say that due to Huang Ling's condition, they did not have a child?" Tian Lei raised his brows. "Could it be that this man has a mistress? Or has he lied to us? "
"He definitely lied to us, but he shouldn't be lying about the child." Captain Yan walked out from the kitchen. "The house is not finished yet, and it is not Jia Ming or Huang Ling who live here. The child who is drawing probably has nothing to do with them."
"Are they street children?" Lee Zheng stood beside the window and looked out. "But why would they stay in this room? The building doesn't have an elevator, so wouldn't it be easier to stay on the ground floor? "
"The answer is probably hidden in this room." Chen Ge looked at the ceiling and could not move his eyes away.
The other three officers saw this and also looked up.
On the ceiling of Room 104, someone had used sharp rocks to carve out four human faces.
The four faces were facing north, south, east, and west. In the middle was a little girl, and the four faces were biting the little girl's limbs.
"What is this painting trying to express? It doesn't look like something a child could draw. "
Jiang Long and Zhang Chuyu were written on the faces of the two adults, while Jiang Bai and Jiang Xiaohu were written on the faces of the two children.
"Jiang Long? Isn't that the name of the investor who committed suicide? How did it end up here? "
"That seems to be the name of his family of four." Tian Lei thought for a moment. "The owners probably vented their anger on Jiang Long. After all, he's the developer."
"No matter how irrational the owner is, he wouldn't vent his anger on a dead person. Furthermore, the painting is about Jiang Long biting someone else." Captain Yan looked at the painting above his head. "The handwriting is too young. It looks like it was written by a child, but a child would not be able to reach the ceiling. There is no place in this room that one can step on."
The three officers considered the possibilities, but at that moment, Chen Ge entered the bedroom alone. He had to control his expression.
Of all the people there, only he knew that Jia Ming had been possessed by Jiang Long. The appearance of Jiang Long's family of four confirmed Chen Ge's suspicion. Jiang Long had probably taken over Jia Ming's body for this Room 104.
"Is there something different about this room?"
Chen Ge looked around for a long time but found nothing. He stood up and looked out the window. From his position, he could see the large cluster of dark buildings in the distance.
"Li Wan City?"
There was not a single light in Li Wan City in the middle of the night. It was like a ghost town.
"I still don't get it. What is Jiang Long trying to do? If not for Captain Yan insisting on coming, I would have captured Jiang Long already."
Chen Ge looked at the few buildings next to him, and as he looked, he noticed a problem.
The four buildings were located in the north, south, east, and west. They were all nineteen floors, and the tenth floor was in the middle. There were four rooms on each floor, and Room 104 was at the westernmost position.
"The layout of the four buildings is similar to the location of the four faces. Jiang Long's face is at the westernmost position, so it matches the location of the first building." Chen Ge went out to look at the painting again. "Why would they bite the girl? If each face corresponds to a building … "
Chen Ge could not figure it out, so he subconsciously moved to the westernmost side of Room 104.
After moving away the trash on the ground, Chen Ge realized that the color of the ground there was different. He found some heavy objects inside the room and swung them at that area. Under the confused gaze of the police officer, he cracked the thin layer of cement on the surface.
"It's empty." Chen Ge reached his hand into it and felt like he was touching something. It was not soft, but it was not hard either. He pulled it out completely.
When he raised his arm, all the officers in the room, including himself, were stunned.
The shadow morphed into the shape of a woman, but at that moment, Chen Ge did not notice it. He looked at the thin, pale arm that he had pulled out. With difficulty, he turned his head to look at the few officers.
Honestly, he did not expect it to be an arm that was hidden inside the bag.
"Don't move! Put it down slowly! " Captain Yan was the first to speak. He slowly approached with the flashlight and picked up the arm that was wrapped tightly. After a few glances, Captain Yan seemed to confirm something. "Tian Lei, have your people get here in twenty minutes! Lee Zheng, inform the officers on duty to come to Eastern Jiujiang's Ming Yang Residence immediately! Prepare to take over the dismemberment case! "
"Yes, sir!"
After giving the order, Captain Yan's expression softened. He asked Lee Zheng for a cigarette and passed it to Chen Ge. "You must be scared, right? Go outside and have a smoke to calm down. "
"There's no need." Chen Ge did not accept the cigarette. His face was pale. "Captain Yan, do you still remember when we first arrived at Ming Yang Residence, I asked Captain Tian a question?"
"What question?"
"Why is the room number on the tenth floor of the first building 104? If that's the arrangement, how are the numbers of the other buildings arranged? "
"Yes, I remember. What's wrong?" Captain Yan did not quite understand what Chen Ge was getting at.
"Four buildings, each building has nineteen floors, and each floor has four rooms. Normally, the numbers should have four digits. For example, the number for Room 1 on the eleventh floor of the first building is 1111. But at the time, Captain Tian said that the four buildings were a whole, and the builder planned to build a corridor in the sky to connect the four buildings together, so the number that represented the building was omitted. "Chen Ge tried his best to express what he was trying to say.
"What are you trying to say?"
"Look up." Chen Ge pointed at the painting on the ceiling. "We found the left arm of the body in this building on the west side. It matches the painting perfectly. If the four buildings are a whole, then does Ming Yang Residence represent the girl who was bitten by the human face in the painting? And the other parts, are they hidden in the rooms on the corresponding floors? "
