Then, Chen Ge had Xu Yin hand the middle-aged woman over to the woman in the red raincoat.
"I'll wait for your news."
He did not stop at the bus stop and returned to the bus with Xu Yin.
The woman's wail came from the bus stop. Blood leaked out from under the red raincoat, and it felt like threads were cutting into the middle-aged woman's flesh.
Hearing the middle-aged woman's pleas, the woman in the red raincoat did not feel happy. Her red eyes stared at Chen Ge, and a complicated emotion floated across them.
Chen Ge did not use the middle-aged woman as a bargaining chip to force her to do certain things. Instead, he handed the middle-aged woman over to the woman in the red raincoat. This action made the woman in the red raincoat's impression of him improve slightly.
The bus left the bus stop and headed straight for Fan Cong's home.
The rain outside lessened. Chen Ge removed the e-bike from the bus and pushed it into the residential area.
After so long, it was already 2 am. Chen Ge was worried that he would disturb Fan Cong's sleep, so he sent a message to the man first.
Not long after that, Chen Ge's phone vibrated. When Fan Cong saw the message, he called him directly.
"Mr. Chen, are you downstairs now?"
"Yes, I hope I'm not disturbing you. I'm guessing you're still awake. "
"It's raining outside! I'll go get you in a minute. "
"There's no need. I'm here to ask you something."
After hanging up, Chen Ge placed the e-bike back where it was and entered the stairwell with the key.
When he reached the top floor, the door to Fan Cong's home was open.
"My brother is sleeping in the other room. He still has work tomorrow." When Fan Cong saw Chen Ge, he was very excited. "Mr. Chen, I've played several more endings. There are hidden Easter eggs in the game."
"This time, I'm not here for the game." Chen Ge had not forgotten what had happened at Jiujiang's mental hospital. He wanted to visit Jiang Long's house in Eastern Jiujiang.
In the game, after Xiao Bu opened the door behind his classmate's closet, the style of the game started to change. If Xiao Bu's game was mirroring real life, then the 'door' that had gone out of control in Li Wan City was probably at Jiang Long's home.
Chen Ge really wanted to see the difference between a "door" that had gone out of control and a normal door.
"Not for the game? You ran so far at night just to return the car? "Fan Cong was dumbfounded.
"Returning the car is just one aspect. Come, let's talk inside." Chen Ge stood in the stairwell with his backpack. He had a feeling that the stairwell was eerie, as if something was eavesdropping on him from the bottom.
After the door was closed, Fan Cong brought Chen Ge a towel. "You're soaking wet. Why don't you change into my clothes first?"
"There's no need." Chen Ge cut to the chase. "Fan Cong, you've played Xiao Bu's game before. Do you realize that the building where Xiao Bu's classmate lives is very similar to the one in your residential area?"
Initially, Fan Cong did not think so, but when Chen Ge pointed it out, his eyes slowly widened. "That's true. The residential area that Xiao Bu's classmate lives in is similar to our residential area."
"I plan to visit Xiao Bu's classmate's home tonight." Chen Ge stood inside the room. His clothes were wet, so he did not sit down.
"Visit Xiao Bu's classmate's home? In real life? "Fan Cong still could not keep up with Chen Ge's train of thought. He had no idea what Chen Ge was up to.
"I've already contacted the police. Xiao Bu's classmate is currently staying at the mental hospital. I've also found out the exact location of his home."
Chen Ge's words confused Fan Cong even more. "Mr Chen, aren't you the owner of a Haunted House? How come you've contacted the police? "
"Don't worry, I did not reveal any information about the game. The reason I contacted the police is because of a dismemberment case."
"Dismemberment case?" Fan Cong's face blanched.
"Yes, it's not far from here, at Ming Yang Residence."
"Not far from here?"
"Yes, the killer has not been caught, but I have a suspect." When Chen Ge was conversing, he did not consider Fan Cong's feelings. He ignored the impact that words like murder and dismemberment would have on a normal person.
Hearing that Chen Ge was going to do something so big, Fan Cong became nervous. "Then how should I cooperate?"
"Based on my investigation, I can confirm that Xiao Bu's classmate's home is on the first floor of the first building. You and your brother have stayed here for so long, have you noticed anything strange?"
The first building was opposite the building that Fan Cong lived in. Normally, he only needed to pull back the curtains to see it.
"I don't think there's anything wrong with the building, but you're giving me the creeps," Fan Cong replied with a bitter smile.
"There's no rush. Take your time to think about it. When your brother wakes up tomorrow, you can ask him or the other old tenants here." Chen Ge did not expect to find anything the moment he arrived. "This is the key to the electric bike. I've left it on the table. Your bike has done a great job tonight."
Fan Cong did not know what Chen Ge was talking about. He thought about it and waved at Chen Ge. "Come with me. I've thought about it, and the building opposite us is a bit strange."
The two entered the bedroom, and Fan Cong pulled back the curtains.
"Li Wan City is at the easternmost part of Eastern Jiujiang. Many people have moved away. Two-thirds of the buildings here are empty." Fan Chong pointed at the building across from them. "When my brother and I first moved here, we planned to move into Apartment One. The rent for that building is much cheaper than the other three buildings, but the owner of the building that we are currently living in told me that Apartment One is not a safe place. Something bad will happen if you move in there. Over the past few years, many people have mysteriously disappeared."
"Disappeared?" Chen Ge was instantly reminded of the 'door' that had gone out of control. He suspected that those people had entered the 'door'.
"Yes, I saw them move in, but one day, they never came out again. I don't know if they have moved away or something else. "
"Didn't any of you call the police?"
"There's no point in calling the police. Eastern Jiujiang is close to the county, and most of the people here are from other places. The police usually come to confirm whether it's a murder case or not. After confirming that there are no signs of struggle and everything is normal, they will leave. After some time, people don't think it's a big deal anymore. After all, we've gotten used to it. "
"Other than that, what else happened?" Chen Ge stared at the first floor of the first building. The windows there were all sealed. "Were those sealed by the police?"
"Yes, there used to be someone living on the first floor of the building. It was an old lady who lived alone. She often told people that she would see a child standing outside the window at night. The people in the residential area saw that she did not seem to be lying, so they purposely sent people to wait for the child. "
"And the result?" Chen Ge was curious. The mention of a child would link him to the ghost fetus' mission.
Fan Cong shook his head. "Actually, there's no such thing as a child. The old lady is probably old and confused. The people waited for a whole night, but they did not see the child. In the end, when they entered the old lady's room, they realized that the window was covered in oil and mud. It was impossible to see outside the window from inside the room. "
"Impossible to see outside the window?" Chen Ge thought about it. "Could it be that the child has been standing inside the room?"
