Hearing Chen Ge's analysis, the few officers were shocked. Chen Ge's normal behavior was far from being a quick-witted person, but once he arrived at a crime scene, he would always be able to discover something. It was as if the man was born to solve crimes.
"Come, let's go to the tenth floor of the other buildings." Captain Yan held the arm, and the few hurried down to the second building.
Just as Chen Ge predicted, they found an arm inside one of the rooms on the tenth floor of the second building.
"Let's take some pictures first. Don't ruin the scene. The killer should have left something behind when he buried the body."
After Lee Zheng finished taking the pictures, the few entered the third building.
The building was only half-built, and there was no railing on the staircase. If they were not careful, they would fall down.
"Be careful!"
The few walked along the wall, and it took them quite some time to reach the tenth floor, but something unexpected happened.
They searched all the rooms on the tenth floor, but they did not find the body. However, they did see a large hole in the wall of one of the rooms.
"Someone was here before us?" Chen Ge touched the edge of the wall, and he was reminded of the e-bike that he had seen inside the first building. "Captain Yan! Do you remember what I told you earlier? Someone rode an e-bike past the police cars? That person might be the killer! It was him who took the woman's legs! "
"Let's go to the fourth building now!"
The few rushed to the fourth building, but they were one step too late. The killer's goal was clear, and he knew when to give up. After he took the woman's legs, he retreated without hesitation and abandoned the woman's arms.
"Risking exposure, he came back to take the woman's legs. Looks like there should be key evidence left on the legs." Tian Lei analyzed, and Captain Yan stood in the middle of the room with a dark face.
"To steal the woman's legs right under the eyes of the police, this killer is not a normal person." Chen Ge picked up the broken pieces on the ground and tried to piece them back together. "The person came with professional tools, like a hammer and iron awl. What I'm curious about is, how did the killer know we were coming? Did he leave a spy at Ming Yang Residence? Or did he get wind of this beforehand? Or is the murderer someone we've met tonight? "
Chen Ge was ninety percent sure that Jia Ming was the one who stole the woman's legs from the police. Jia Ming was the only one who knew that the police were there tonight. Another detail was that Jia Ming had an electric scooter at home. He had gotten into a car accident while riding it.
Captain Yan understood Chen Ge's meaning, but he had his own considerations. The eye-gouging case, the dismemberment case, the two cases in Western Jiujiang and Eastern Jiujiang have something in common. They are filled with a sense of ritual. Could there be some kind of connection between the killers?
"There shouldn't be any connection, right? Their modus operandi is different. " Chen Ge was surprised by Captain Yan's intuition. The door going out of control in Li Wan City had something to do with the Society of Strange Tales, and technically speaking, the change at Ming Yang Residence was due to Li Wan City. Therefore, if one was to be honest, the case at Ming Yang Residence might really be related to the Society of Strange Tales.
Twenty-five minutes later, the people from Dongcheng Police Station arrived.
Four police cars were parked in the middle of Ming Yang Residential Area. This was the first murder case in the past six months, so the Dongcheng Police Station was very busy. Almost all the police officers that they could contact were called over.
"Captain Tian! We're here! "
"Stay where you are and listen to Captain Yan's orders." Tian Lei walked to Captain Yan's side. "Captain Yan, our men are here. There are three teams in total."
"Team 1, go and look through the nearby surveillance to find a person riding a scooter. Team 2, stay at the scene to collect evidence. Team 3, help me keep an eye on a few people." Captain Yan wrote down a list, and Jia Ming and Huang Ling's names were on it.
Chen Ge stood to the side. He had planned to ambush Jia Ming, but after seeing Captain Yan's arrangement, he did not dare do that. "Captain Yan, what do you think I need to do?"
"We'll inform you tomorrow when we have the result. After all, this is our job, and you've done a good job." Captain Yan turned to tell Tian Lei, "Find someone to send Chen Ge back. There's no way to get a taxi here. He's worked hard tonight."
"Xiao Qing! Come here, I'll give you a mission. "
"Yes!" This was Xiao Qing's first time participating in a serious crime case, so he was quite nervous.
"Do you see that man? I'll drive him home. "Tian Lei then left with Captain Yan, leaving the young officer standing there alone.
"We meet again." Chen Ge greeted the young officer with a smile. "You'll be very busy in the future."
Xiao Qing felt like Chen Ge's smile was quite scary. "Don't waste my time. Where is your home? The captain told me to send you home. "
Chen Ge looked at the time. For him, his nightlife had just begun at midnight, and he might not be able to sleep even if he went home. "Wait a minute, I need to make a call."
Based on Chen Ge's original plan, he planned to go find Fan Cong after meeting Ma Fu to experience that strange game, but who knew so many things would happen in the middle of it.
Taking out his phone, Chen Ge sent a message to Fan Cong.
To his surprise, Fan Cong was still awake. Several seconds later, he replied to Chen Ge, saying that playing the game after midnight would make it easier to see the problem. As long as Chen Ge was not afraid, he could go there now.
After getting Fan Cong's permission, Chen Ge had Xiao Qing drive him to Fan Cong's home. He gave Xiao Qing the address that Fan Cong had left for him.
"The first residential area in Eastern Jiujiang's Li Wan City? There's such a place in Li Wan City? Don't you know the name of the residential area? "Xiao Qing searched online for a long time before he confirmed it. He drove the police car to send Chen Ge to Li Wan City.
The place was close to the county, and it was deserted. The only good thing about it was the fresh air.
The police car drove into Li Wan City, and at the end of the road, they saw an old building.
"You live here?" Xiao Qing looked at the empty Li Wan City, and his heart felt strangely unsettled.
"This is my friend's home. Since I'm in Eastern Jiujiang, I might as well pay him a visit."
"A visit at midnight? Won't your friend beat you up? "
"Fine, you should go back first. Be careful on the road."
After Xiao Qing left, Chen Ge stood alone on Li Wan City's West Street. "Now that I think about it, Fan Cong's home is in Li Wan City, that in itself is something worth thinking about."
After making the call, Chen Ge entered the first building with Fan Cong's guidance.
"Boss Chen, you really came. Hurry up and go upstairs." Fan Dade purposely went downstairs to fetch Chen Ge in his tank top. "My little brother has been playing for a whole day today. It feels like he's possessed. You have to help me talk to him today."
"Okay, don't worry."
The two came to the top floor. The door of the family on the right had a mirror the size of a palm stuck on it, and the door of the family on the left was half-open.
Fan Dade led Chen Ge into the family on the left and yelled into the bedroom, "Fan Cong, Mr. Chen is here!"
Hearing his voice, there was a clatter from inside the bedroom like something had fallen. Then the bedroom door opened, and Fan Cong, who looked extremely haggard and had dark circles under his eyes, poked his head out.
Chen Ge closed the living room door. He raised his head to look at the mirror hanging on the door of the family opposite. He snapped a random picture before entering the room. "Fan Cong, how's the progress? Did you find anything new? "
"The plot is stuck. This game is really not meant for humans. I feel like I'm going to suffer from depression soon." Fan Cong dragged Chen Ge into the bedroom. He picked up the bottle of coke that had been opened at some point and took several gulps.
"Stuck?" Chen Ge was silent for a moment. "How about I try? I can be considered a professional horror game designer. From a designer's perspective, perhaps I can give you a surprise. "
