At 11:34 pm, Chen Ge received a call from Captain Yan in the police car.
"The situation is not good. The other party is very vigilant and seems to have discovered us." Team Yan then sent another photo to Chen Ge: "After our investigators entered the elevator, they saw a mobile phone thrown inside.
There is a piece of information that is being edited above."
The photo is Xiao Gu’s mobile phone, and there is a very strange sentence in the WeChat input field:
"Dad found us and put us on the stairs."
"Brother, lie behind me."
"My brother lies in front of me."
"Can you find us?"
"What do you mean?" Chen Ge was a little confused after seeing the message on Xiao Gu's phone, not quite understanding the meaning of this sentence.
"I suspect that those crazy people have discovered us, so they deliberately left such a message in the elevator."
"Have you entered Building 3?" Chen Ge had warned Captain Yan and the others before, asking them not to alert others.
"Both action teams were all wearing casual clothes and had not yet entered Fanghuayuan Community. The vehicle was parked at an intersection 150 meters away from the community where the incident occurred. There were dedicated personnel on standby in the vehicle."
"How could that be discovered? Is there something wrong with your investigators?"
"Impossible, the person who entered Building 3 to investigate is a veteran of ours. He has seven years of criminal investigation experience and has assisted us in solving many vicious cases." Captain Yan did not think that his men would have problems: "Besides, he just opened the door
I saw this mobile phone in the elevator. It would take at least three minutes to arrange this mobile phone in advance without being seen by others. During these three minutes, our investigators have not yet entered the Fanghuayuan Community.
.”
"I understand what you mean, which means that the criminal suspect had already arranged this mobile phone before you arrived." After Chen Ge figured this out, his expression changed: "The investigator who found the mobile phone is now
where?"
"He is still in Building 3. He took the photo and sent it back."
"Oops! Get him back quickly!" Chen Ge knew very well that the fundamental purpose of the Ghost Story Association to trick Xiao Gu into taking the bait was to deal with himself! The cell phone with the weird information left on it should have been prepared for him!
After coming into contact with many ghosts, Chen Ge has figured out some rules. Including Hongyi, most ghosts need a medium to harm people.
For example, I received a love letter from Zhang Ya, played Xu Yin's tape, used a ballpoint pen to play the pen fairy game, etc.
Ordinary people need a "special thing" to become a switch before they can access another world.
The message remaining on Xiao Gu's cell phone is actually a switch. Seeing the message is equivalent to being targeted by one or several unknown ghosts.
"Okay." Captain Yan did not ask the reason in detail. He used the internal communication device to give the investigation team members a temporary evacuation order. But to his surprise, only a few minutes passed before the investigator disappeared.
connect!
"Something happened?" Captain Yan did not hang up the phone. Chen Ge heard clearly from here: "I may have three or four minutes to arrive. You must not send anyone in again!"
Several police officers on the other side of the phone were discussing countermeasures. After more than ten seconds, Chen Ge heard the sound of a car door opening on the phone, as if someone had found Captain Yan.
After the two parties talked, Captain Yan asked him to stay in the car, then picked up his mobile phone and said to Chen Ge: "The apprentice led by the investigator just now found me, and his master sent him a WeChat message."
"When you contacted the investigator just now, didn't he give you a response?" Chen Ge became more and more confused: "What did the investigator send to his apprentice?"
"Just three words - are you here or not?"
"Are you here?"
"This information is definitely not sent by our investigators." Team Yan's voice became serious: "It is absolutely impossible for an experienced investigator to send meaningless text messages to his apprentice during the execution of a mission. If he has anything
If there is a need, or if there is danger, the first person who comes to mind should be the on-site commander."
"It seems that the investigator may be in danger." Chen Ge didn't say this, he just thought about it in his heart.
"Whether he is killed or not, we must prepare for the worst." The investigators are in danger. In this case, Captain Yan will naturally not squat outside the community anymore: "Inform the first and second groups and take action immediately.
!Enter Building 3!”
"Captain Yan, don't be impulsive! The mental patients in the building are very dangerous!"
"The situation has changed. Now we can only adopt other plans. Give Lao Wu the phone number and ask him to drive the car to my side first and meet me."
People's lives were at stake. Chen Ge knew he couldn't persuade Captain Yan, so he could only give in: "The others are fine. Please be careful not to let the policeman who received the information enter the building. He may have been targeted."
The investigators saw the messages being compiled on Xiao Gu's cell phone, and then something happened.
After the incident, he immediately sent a message to his apprentice. Chen Ge vaguely felt that there was something wrong in it.
He also thought of the first words Xiao Gu said when he called him, which seemed to be related to Lao Wang.
To deduct it again, Xiao Gu has confirmed that he will work in the haunted house, and the probability of running into the Fanghuayuan community to patrol at night is low, so why does he appear in Building 3?
"When Xiao Gu was in danger, it was probably Lao Wang who sent him a message first!"
Chen Ge wanted to say something more to Team Yan, but Team Yan had already started to deploy and hung up the phone.
Three minutes later, Chen Ge arrived at Fanghuayuan Community.
"Has the missing investigator been found?"
"He has been found at the corner of the stairs on the second floor. He is healthy, but fell into a coma. According to the on-site personnel, his pupils were dilated and his face looked very bad." Team Yan stood beside the car, holding their internal communication device in his hand, frowning.
Bu Zhan: "What I'm curious about now is how the murderer put a strong adult with fighting skills into a coma in just a few minutes."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While the two were talking, the investigator had been carried out and someone was taking care of him.
Chen Ge took a look at the investigator's attire. He looked like an ordinary person. As long as he didn't lift his coat and couldn't see the police walkie-talkie, his identity could not be discovered at all.
"The Ghost Stories Association probably regarded this plainclothesman as an accidental passer-by. They regard life as trivial and will show no mercy even to innocent people. But this time they have succeeded."
When Chen Ge went to the 24th floor for the first time, Zhu Xiu made a request to the Weird Tales Association, hoping that the Weird Tales Association could take action to help him escape the wanted police, but the Weird Tales Association clearly rejected him."
This small detail proves one thing. The Ghost Story Association does not dare to have a head-on conflict with the police. They are like rats living in the shadows of this city, producing garbage and tearing away carrion, but they never dare to see the light of day.
.
"Team Yan, have your people found the mobile phone in the elevator?" Chen Ge asked another very critical question. The unedited message on Xiao Gu's mobile phone was a trap deliberately left by the Ghost Story Association. Look,
It is very likely to trigger bad luck in the future.
"It has been found by a group and put into an evidence bag."
Chen Ge did not dare to waste any more time: "Captain Yan, what those mentally ill people really want to deal with is me. I can't escape from this."
He said and walked towards Fanghuayuan Community.
"Wait a minute." If another victim came over, Captain Yan would definitely stop him, but Chen Ge was different.
He took out a walkie-talkie from the car and stuffed it into Chen Ge: "Can you use it?"
"Yes, when my haunted house used to have a lot of employees, each person would have one."
"That's fine." Captain Yan was still a little worried, and waved to Old Wu who was driving: "You two go in together, so I can take care of you."
Chen Ge did not refuse Captain Yan's kindness, and he and Lao Wu entered Fanghuayuan Community together.
In order to prevent unnecessary panic, Team Yan did not notify the residents in the building, and Building No. 3 remained eerily quiet.
The dim lights illuminated the pale walls, and Chen Ge and Lao Wu walked to the elevator.
"Captain Yan asked us to follow the second group. Let's go to the fifth floor now." Old Wu Gang determined the positions of the two action groups through the intercom: "You will be behind me later, don't run around."
It was rare for the victim to participate in the arrest, but after considering a series of things that happened to Chen Ge, Old Wu quickly felt relieved.
The man next to me filled up a row of filing cabinets in the major crime file room in just three weeks.
Thinking of this, Old Wu moved a step to the side, keeping a distance of almost two meters from Chen Ge.
"Old Wu, let's go find one group first! There's something wrong with that cell phone, and now one group is in danger!" Chen Ge's voice was urgent. The longer the delay, the more likely it is that one group would be in danger.
"No, Captain Yan has told you to follow the second team."
"Let's take a look first. If nothing happens to the first group, we will then join the second group."
"Okay." Old Wu hesitated for a long time before entering the elevator with Chen Ge and pressing the button leading to the eighth floor: "The first group and the second group are responsible for the stairs on the left and right respectively. The progress of the group is faster, so when encountering
The possibility of being in danger is also greater than that of the second group.”
"It's okay." Chen Ge replied casually. He watched the numbers on the display screen change little by little, but his eyes stopped on the extra number - 24.
The two quickly reached the eighth floor. At this time, a group had already reached the ninth floor. They searched floor by floor and the progress was very fast.
Lao Wu got in touch with a group leader on the walkie-talkie, and the two got into the safety passage next to them and reached the ninth floor.
After standing at the entrance of the corridor and waiting for a while, a group leader followed by two people ran out of the corridor: "Why did you bring him too?"
The leader of one group was very strong. When Chen Ge was being interrogated at the city branch, this man was sitting across the table. Team Yan called his name once, and it seemed that he was Li Zheng.
"Captain Yan told me, I'm just obeying the order." Old Wu looked at the two people around Li Zheng and said, "Why are there only three people left in your group?"
"I asked Xiao Jia and Acheng to respond in the corridor to prevent the criminals from escaping when we enter the floor to search." Li Zheng looked into the corridor: "Didn't you meet them?"
When he said this, Chen Ge suddenly had a bad premonition: "Is the mobile phone you picked up in the elevator on them?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Li Zheng also admired Chen Ge's name for a long time. He seemed to have thought of something, frowned, took a flashlight, and stood directly in the dark corridor and shouted: "Xiao Jia! Acheng!"
The sound in the corridor came very far, and not long after, a response came from Li Zheng's walkie-talkie: "Brother Zheng, Xiao Jia doesn't know what's going on, he keeps running upstairs!"
The sound on the walkie-talkie suddenly became chaotic, and then the sound of heavy objects falling was heard.
"Acheng?" Li Zheng held the walkie-talkie, shouted behind him, and led several other team members to rush upstairs.
Chen Ge and Lao Wu also hurriedly chased after them. They rushed to the fourteenth floor. Acheng held a strange white paper and said: "Brother Zheng, Xiao Wu seems to have made a particularly important discovery. Go find him quickly!"
Li Zheng took the white paper in Acheng's hand and glanced at it. There was nothing on it.
"Hallucination?"
"Is that mobile phone on Xiao Jia's possession?" Among everyone, Chen Ge's mood was relatively stable: "Did you two read the messages on the mobile phone?"
"I didn't look at it. Xiao Jia looked at it twice when he put the mobile phone into the evidence bag." Acheng answered truthfully.
"Sure enough, it has something to do with that message." Chen Ge recalled the content of the message. It was very strange. He thought in his mind: "Dad found us and put us on the stairs. The first two sentences of the message should be hinting at the stairs.
But what does the older brother and younger brother in the back mean? And why do we need to look for them in the end?"
While Chen Ge was thinking, Li Zheng had already led people to the fifteenth floor.
"Old Wu, you stay here and guard Xiao Jia. I'll go up and take a look." Chen Ge ran up directly without giving Old Wu a chance to speak.
"The first investigator who saw the information fell into a coma, and the second investigator who saw the information had hallucinations. Why are the symptoms different?"
Li Zheng and the others did not dare to separate, and were afraid of missing Xiao Jia's floor, so they chased up the stairs. Chen Ge had no such worries. He ran to the fifteenth floor and walked to the elevator.
After waiting for the elevator door to open, he directly pressed the button for the 23rd floor. He was going to take a look at the most dangerous 23rd floor. After all, Xiao Gu mentioned this floor on the phone.
"I hope Xiao Gu will be fine."
The elevator door slowly closed, and Chen Singer put his finger on the switch of the repeater.
If he had come alone, he might have been tricked by the unknown methods of the Kaidan Association. Unfortunately, this time, he came with the police, so he had an advantage in numbers.
The numbers on the display screen kept changing. When the elevator reached the twenty-first floor, Chen Ge's phone suddenly vibrated.
He swiped the screen and didn't expect it to be a message from Xiao Gu's cell phone.
"Are you here?"
The first time he saw the message, Chen Ge replied to him.
