"Meng Changan? You're telling me he's the killer? " Before Han Fei could ask any more questions, the 7 victims' bodies were torn apart. They slowly pieced back together to form that horrible monster.
There was no rationality, no hope, no kindness, the monster only wanted to destroy everything before it.
"Do these seven victims have to experience the pain of being dismembered every night?" Han Fei exited the bedroom. He glanced at the electronic clock on the wall, it was almost 4 am. This was the time of death for the 8th victim. 'They've been fighting back …'
The monster was about to appear. Han Fei silently closed the door.
The haunted house was no longer safe, the monster would attack everyone indiscriminately.
'The 7 victims are individual but they've been pieced together. What should I do to save them?'
Han Fei was exhausted. He walked to the corner of the living room and chose to quit the game.
Removing the gaming helmet, Han Fei grabbed the glass of water from the table and gulped down several mouthfuls.
He sat on the edge of the bed. His eyes scanned the wall that was filled with crime pictures. Finally, his gaze settled on a particular picture.
"Meng Changan."
Exhaustion and drowsiness washed over Han Fei like a tidal wave. He collapsed into bed and fell asleep.
…
At 10 am, Han Fei was woken up by his phone ringing. He glanced at the caller ID and quickly answered, "Li Xue? What's going on? "
"I'm at your door, do you have time to meet me?"
"At my door?" Han Fei hung up. He quickly got up and put on his clothes. Then he hurried over to open the door. "Why are you here so early in the morning? Don't you need to go to work? "
"I'm at work now. Let's talk inside." Li Xue's expression was serious like something big had happened.
Closing the door and pulling the curtains, Li Xue pulled Han Fei to sit on the chair. "Last night, the city's police mobilized the police force. Before the sun rose, they did a carpet search of the Xin Lu Nature Reserve Forest. One hour into the search, they found a black wooden house."
"They found it so easily?"
"They checked the inside and outside of the wooden house. They even dug up the surrounding soil for technical inspection. They didn't find any corpses or traces of human activity."
"That's impossible!"
"Don't worry." Li Xue signaled for Han Fei to continue. "This black house appeared to be purposely used to interfere with the police's judgment. Under my teacher's insistence, the police expanded the search area. It took them 4 hours. One of the officers was lucky enough to fall into a swamp. Then the police found another black wooden house at the deepest part of the swamp."
"I remember now, Wei Youfu has entered Xin Lu forest twice before. The first time, he returned empty-handed and the second time, he found the child's clothes." Noticing Li Xue's pale expression, he whispered, "Did you find anything inside the house?"
"There are no modern communication devices in the deepest black house. It's very primitive. The house was not big, and it was divided into two levels, one above ground and one below ground. The floor above ground is very ordinary, just like a small house built by a forest ranger. But if you go underground through the secret tunnel, you will discover another world. " Li Xue's face paled. "The basement was filled with many daily necessities and children's clothes. They were very clean but the police found a room that was dug out. The room was called the House of Eden by the killer."
The Garden of Eden had the meaning of paradise. According to legend, it was a paradise created by God. There were beautiful flowers, trees, birds and beasts. People lived a peaceful and happy life there.
"What is inside the house?" A bad feeling rose in Han Fei's heart.
"After the experienced officers entered the house, they couldn't stop themselves from vomiting." Li Xue took out her phone to show Han Fei a few pictures. "The room was completely dominated by blood and strange symbols. Many children's bodies were dug out from the soil underneath the room. According to the coroner's analysis, the earliest death date was 20 years ago. "
"Can we find out the children's identities?"
"They are all abandoned babies and orphans. Most of the information is incomplete but we did manage to find out the identity of the earliest dead body." Li Xue scrolled through her phone and found another picture. "He Yuhuai, he donated his kidney when he was 6. His father is the director of Xin Lu's Northern Street Children's Home, He Shouye."
"Wait a minute, I'm confused. The director of the Children's Home is He Shouye? His own child's body is inside this black house? "Han Fei asked the question that had been bothering him.
"Following our investigation, the director of Northern Street Children's Home, He Shouye, is a major suspect. The black house inside the forest is related to him. His child's kidney donation was not entirely voluntary. There was some kind of private trade. He Shouye's first earnings were from his child's kidney. "
"Then he's a scumbag!"
"But he disguised himself well. Everyone who met him thought he was a good person. After his child died of illness, he even funded the renovation of Northern Street Children's Home to commemorate his child. "
"What a noble excuse." Han Fei's eyes chilled. "Where is this man now? Have you got him under control? "
Li Xue shook her head. "He Shouye is indeed a major suspect but when Wei Youfu, Ah Mei and Gu Ye died, he has a clear alibi. Other than that, He Shouye died in a car accident a few years after the human jigsaw case."
"Dead?"
"Yes, Jiang Jiang and He Shouye, the two people who are directly related to the case are both dead. It feels like there's another hand controlling the entire human jigsaw case." Noticing the deep frown on Han Fei's face, Li Xue consoled softly, "Even though we haven't caught the killer, we've made a big breakthrough. We now believe there is more than one killer. In fact, there is a case of 'mutual aid' in this case. "
"Mutual aid?"
"He Shouye is closely related to the deaths of Xiao Qing, Cui Caiyi and Cui Tianci from the human jigsaw case. Now that the police have more and more clues and technological advancements, it won't be long before the truth comes to light!" Li Xue's expression turned serious. "I'm here today because there's another thing I need to tell you. The killer is cruel and vengeful. He might come after you. "
"Me?"
"That's right. The movie you're filming will also attract his attention. You have to be careful."
Li Xue prepared to leave but Han Fei stopped her. "Li Xue, actually, I've been thinking for the past few days. There's someone that the police should pay close attention to!"
"Who?"
