Wang Qi has been trying to persuade Chen Ge to leave. From a stranger's perspective, he is too enthusiastic.
Chen Ge didn't agree immediately. After hearing Wang Qi's story, he vaguely felt that the other party seemed to be hiding something.
"I've told you everything I can say. It's still too late to leave now. After midnight and early morning, the apartment building will look completely different." After saying this, Wang Qi patted the dust on his body, turned around and walked out.
apartment.
It wasn't until Wang Qi's back disappeared into the night that Chen Ge realized. He initially planned to find the tenants in the apartment building to find out about the situation, but now his doubts have not diminished, but have increased.
"This man has a big problem. Is he a lunatic?" Recalling Wang Qi's cloudy eyes, Chen Ge felt a little uncomfortable. The man's eyes were full of fatigue and pain, which could not be disguised: "It seems,
He must love his wife very much."
Chen Ge walked back. When he passed the woman's room on the first floor, he hesitated and tried to knock on the door.
"Hey, new guy." The door to the woman's room didn't move at all. Instead, the door behind Chen Ge opened halfway, and there was a tall, thin man leaning against the door.
He looked to be in his thirties, unkempt, with his hair and beard almost connected together, and a peony tattooed on the back of his exposed hand.
"Who are you?" Chen Ge turned around warily.
"The guy who posted the missing person notice just now is not a tenant in our building. He has some problems here." The tall and thin man tapped his temple: "Don't believe anything he says. If you get too close to him,
Something will happen."
This was the first time Chen Ge met a tall and thin man. Although he looked slovenly, his tone of voice was the most normal among the people he had met: "That man's behavior is indeed strange, but he may be because
"Did he also say that this was what the police told him, so he kept coming here to look for it?"
"That's right."
"Haha." The tall and thin man smiled and said, "I have lived here for nine months and I have never seen the police come. That lunatic is lying to you. What he said about ghosts and ghosts is simply nonsense."
He took out a low-quality cigarette from his pocket and held it in his mouth: "How can there be ghosts in this world? At most, someone is pretending to be a ghost. Okay, it's getting late. You should go back to your room quickly."
Chen Ge thanked the man and turned to leave.
As he walked on the stairs, he couldn't make up his mind: "One of them must be lying. Who could that person be?"
Maybe he was too immersed in thinking. When Chen Ge came to his senses, he had already reached the third floor.
Numbers with peeling paint were printed on the corners of the floor. The voice-activated lights above his head emitted dim light. Chen Ge looked to both sides. This floor had not been renovated. The floor was dirty. There were traces of burning everywhere. The walls were severely peeled off.
, like intertwined scars.
"Why is only the third floor not renovated? Is it because of insufficient funds or other reasons?"
The voice-activated lights quickly went out, and the entire apartment building suddenly plunged into darkness.
Chen Ge has been working in haunted houses all year round and is relatively accustomed to darkness. He did not panic. He took out his mobile phone and was about to turn on the flashlight when he suddenly saw a figure walking quickly in the dark corridor.
"Who's there?" The light of the mobile phone's flashlight illuminated the third floor, but the figure was nowhere to be seen.
Chen Ge wanted to go in and search, but unfortunately, footsteps came from downstairs.
"Is it the landlord?" If the grumpy lame landlord saw him wandering around on the third floor, he would inevitably be scolded. Chen Ge thought for a moment, put away his phone, and quietly retreated to the second floor.
Coming down from the corner of the stairs, Chen Ge saw a short, fat, middle-aged man carrying a washbasin walking out of a room on the second floor. The man was originally in a good mood while humming a little tune, but after seeing Chen Ge, his face immediately became tense.
, bowed his head and walked quickly.
"What do you mean? I look so scary?" Back in his room, Chen Ge lay on the bed holding his backpack: "There is no normal person in this apartment building. Everyone looks like a murderer..."
Thinking of this, Chen Ge sat up suddenly: "The task posted on the mobile phone only asked me to find the murderer, but it did not tell me how many murderers there were. If you think about it, there may really be more than one murderer! After all, it is involved
In the family extermination case, the possibility of a gang committing the crime is very high. No, I need to quickly investigate the case from that year."
Chen Ge took out his mobile phone. His conversation with Wang Qi was not completely fruitless. At least he understood something. Ping An Apartment was called Fu'an Apartment a long time ago.
After typing the words Jiujiang Fu'an Apartment in the search bar and scrolling down a few pages, Chen Ge's eyes were filled with shocking words one after another.
"A family of four was brutally wiped out! The murderer disappeared out of thin air?!"
"Is it an accident? Or murder! What caused the fire in Phu Yen Apartment?"
"The corpse is hidden in the building, and the case within the case is revealed!"
Chen Ge looked through all the information related to Fu'an Apartment and felt a little cold in his body. Reality is often more terrifying than fiction, because this is what really happened, and it may even happen to him one day.
Five years ago, some villagers saw a fire in Phu Yen Apartment and called the fire alarm.
After the fire brigade extinguished the fire, they began to investigate the cause of the fire and assess the fire damage.
It was originally a routine matter, but as the investigation progressed, more and more strange things began to emerge.
The concrete is cracked, the window glass fragments are small, and the cracks have faint traces of smoke. This shows that the fire is not only intense but also very hot and spreads quickly.
There are multiple fire points at the fire scene, which are not related to each other. This is a typical feature of intentional arson.
The nature of the case suddenly changed. The local public security department intervened and subsequently found four bodies among the building debris, which happened to be the family of four who ran the apartment.
This case caused quite a stir at the time, and the police went all out, but because the fire destroyed the scene, they searched everywhere but could not find any trace of the fifth person, let alone catch the murderer.
When the apartment building was sealed for a whole year, it was later transferred to the father of the original owner in accordance with relevant laws. From that time, Fu An Apartment was renamed Ping An Apartment.
"A family of four was burned to death, and the murderer is still at large. No wonder there are haunting legends here." After figuring out the case that year, Chen Ge had some idea. He looked at the webpage on his phone and suddenly noticed something.
Details: "The report said that the original owner of the apartment building was forty-one when he died. The apartment building was later transferred to the original owner's father. Calculating his age, the real owner of the apartment building should be six or seventy years old now."
