1080 Are You Afraid of Something? (4000)
The emotions of the neighbors are all mobilized, everyone is worried about whether their secret will be discovered, and everyone wants to catch the murderer through the window as soon as possible.
Chen Ge was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, and he was about to say something more, when the middle-aged man who had hidden women's underwear at home suddenly spoke again.
"Wait a minute, I'm not opposed to us going room by room to search for the murderer, but I think it's better to ask the landlord first to be on the safe side." The middle-aged man had seen Chen Ge before, and he knew that Chen Ge had spoken to Wu You, and he had never trusted Chen Ge too much.
"No problem, we'll go to the landlord now." Chen Ge directly blocked the middle-aged man's mouth, he didn't want to dwell on meaningless issues, so as not to have an accident: "Everyone hurry up, let's catch that murderer earlier, maybe we can save one more life." ”
The incident happened suddenly, Chen Ge didn't give the neighbors more time to think, and directly dragged Wen Qing and Qu Ying into the corridor.
Although he is now in the driver's seat, his situation will still be very dangerous as long as the neighbors calm down.
Only by making good use of this period of time and dividing the residents of the entire building as soon as possible can he ensure his own safety.
"Qu Ying, why do you say the murderer is targeting your family? Who has your family been at odds with lately? Why does he want to destroy all of you? In order to guide the neighbors' thinking direction, Chen Ge took the initiative to ask Qu Ying, of course, the questions he asked were all related to the murder case, and at first glance they were very critical, pointing to the core of the case.
Where does Qu Ying know why the "murderer" will kill himself, but in order not to expose himself as a murderer, he must cooperate with Chen Ge at this time.
After pondering hard, Qu Ying shook his head: "I don't know why the murderer wants to kill my family, our family is very low-key, and we have never offended anyone?" ”
"Think about it carefully, do you usually have any conflicts with the residents in the building?" Chen Ge did not give up, obviously in order to protect himself, he threw all the problems to Qu Ying.
He's forcing a murderer to think about why he killed himself.
If Qu Ying can't think of an answer, or just name a person, then the other party will become the focus of suspicion.
In other neighborhoods, even if you become the focus of suspicion, it is nothing, but here it is completely different.
Almost no one in this neighborhood is "clean", and everyone has a secret behind them.
In other words, everyone here can't stand up to investigation and exposure, and it doesn't matter what they want to do when they close the door, but at such times, the secret hidden in their hearts will become a noose to kill them.
"I can't really think of it." Qu Ying didn't want to be used by Chen Ge, and the neighbors around him who hid secrets in their hearts were also very knowledgeable and didn't speak.
They all know very well that the wisest choice at this time is to keep their mouths shut, because talking nonsense is likely to lead to fire.
"I remember the other night, when you were arguing with your father, many neighbors disliked you for being loud, and then an uncle on the fifth floor went to warn you. By the way, the electrician on the eighth floor seems to have had a conflict with your dad, it seems that because of the wiring problem, they also had a fight in the corridor, and the electrician threatened your dad at that time...... "Xiao Sun really wanted to catch the murderer, and he casually said a few names: "What's wrong?" What are you all looking at me for? Am I not right? ”
Xiao Sun didn't know what these neighbors looked like in private, he just said some things he saw, which also proved from the side that he should be one of the rare "normal people", and he was not afraid of being investigated.
"These clues you are talking about are too important! After we have found the landlord, we will immediately go to the homes of these people! Chen Ge praised Xiao Sun very much, it didn't matter if Qu Ying refused to cooperate, Xiao Sun helped Chen Ge tear a gap among the residents in the building.
The tenants mentioned by Xiao Sun will be the first to fall victims, and Xiao Sun is doing well, but his own situation has become very dangerous because of this.
The residential building has a total of 10 floors, the landlord lives alone on the 9th floor, the 10th floor is unoccupied, and all rooms are locked.
Everyone came to room 901 together, and Qu Ying knocked on the door several times but no one answered.
"The landlord may not be in the house, let's go somewhere else first."
"Wait!" Chen Ge grabbed Qu Ying's arm: "There is a tenant in the building who was killed, and there was such a big commotion, and the landlord didn't react at all, do you think this is normal?" ”
"It's not normal, I guess the landlord is probably not in the building, he may have gone to another part of the community. The landlords of these buildings have a regular meeting, and maybe the landlords are now in other buildings. ”
"Meeting?" Chen Ge found another very important piece of information from Qu Ying's words.
"They'll get together and talk about rent, neighborhood and so on."
"You have a point, but you're missing a very important point." Chen Ge slowed down: "I went to the first floor and saw that the door of the corridor was locked, and the lock was locked from inside the corridor!" ”
"But what does that mean?"
"The key to the hallway lock is only available to the landlord, and the lock is locked from inside the hallway, which means that the landlord must still be in this building!" Chen Ge's logic was impeccable, and his words made all the neighbors suddenly realize a very serious problem!
"The landlord is still in the building, but he didn't react at all when there was a murder in the building, and I suspect he has been killed."
The killing of the landlord is completely different from the killing of Qu Gui, as the landlord may have had spare keys to all the doors in the building.
At this time, even Qu Ying's face became very ugly, and the development of things had exceeded his imagination.
"It's okay if you don't believe it, let's break the door lock and go in and see." Chen Ge carried his backpack and glanced at the security door, he didn't want to take out the skull crusher hammer at this time: "Do you have any tools at home?" Again, human life is at stake, and we are forced to do this helplessly. If nothing had happened to the landlord, he would have understood us. ”
"My house is being renovated, and I have a complete set of tools, you wait a minute, I'll go get it." Aunt Ding was the first to speak, her tone was hurried, she sounded like she was going back to get the tools, in fact, she probably wanted to go back to do other things, it was just an excuse.
"I also have the tools to pick the lock, I'll go home and look for it." A few more tenants left, and Chen Ge knew what they wanted to do, but he didn't stop them.
It is not difficult to dispose of the "secrets" of your room in a very short time, and it is rare to leave no clues.
A few minutes later, the neighbors returned, with various tools in their hands.
It took nearly half an hour for everyone to open the security door of 901.
"It's a real nuisance, if only it were all wooden doors." Chen Ge pushed Qu Ying into the house first, but Qu Ying dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.
"The house is very neat, there are no traces of fighting, and there is no blood, it seems that we have thought too much." Qu Ying walked in the front, he should have entered the landlord's house for the first time, and he seemed a little restrained, not daring to tamper with the things in the house.
"You seem to be scared of the landlord?" Chen Ge followed Qu Ying like a ghost, and his voice drifted into Qu Ying's ears.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Really?" Chen Ge looked at Qu Ying, and he found that the landlord had a very high status in the hearts of the tenants in the building, and Qu Ying's current abnormal performance was a good proof.
Instead of dwelling on this issue, Chen Ge and his neighbors searched the room, they pushed open the door inside the house, and finally everyone stopped in the bathroom.
When the shower curtain was opened, there was no shower or bathtub inside, but a small TV.
Chen Ge tried to press the switch on the TV, and the TV started normally, but there were only black and white snowflakes on the screen.
"How can there be a TV in the bathroom?" Qu Ying couldn't figure it out.
"This TV is supposed to be playing something that doesn't see the light of day." Chen Ge took a look at the surrounding environment, there were no windows in the bathroom, close the bathroom door, close the shower curtain, this is a completely enclosed space, and the people outside don't know what the landlord is doing inside.
Moving the TV, Chen Ge found that there was a large map of lines behind the TV, he followed the line and found that all the lines led upstairs.
The lines of rooms 901 and 1001 are interconnected, and the landlord's secret should be room 1001 hidden on the tenth floor.
Chen Ge didn't tell anyone about his discovery, he saw the problem from those lines, normal household appliances don't need to go through such complicated lines at all, Chen Ge suspected that the landlord had installed a monitor in the building.
The landlord was hiding in the bathroom, frantically snooping on other people's lives.
Chen Ge probably guessed the landlord's secret, the question is where did the landlord go?
If the landlord had seen the monster of the cursed hospital from the surveillance, he would have been prepared.
Is it the monster of the cursed hospital that killed the landlord?
But if they did, after killing the landlord, they would probably have already obtained the key, and there was no need to make a deal with Qu Ying at all.
The crux of the problem is here, the monster of the cursed hospital probably also went to the landlord, but they didn't find it, so they retreated and found Qu Ying, ready to unite with the residents of the building step by step.
Chen Ge slowly sorted out everything, there should be someone in the building who knew that the landlord was peeping, and in order not to reveal his secret, one of them, or several people, killed the landlord together.
People who can know that there is a problem with the line and are good at wiring it......
Chen Ge suddenly thought of the electrician mentioned by Xiao Sun just now, the electrician lived on the eighth floor, very close to the ninth floor where the landlord lived, and he was very suspicious.
"Look here!" Aunt Ding opened the wardrobe in the landlord's bedroom, and when she took the clothes away, she found that there were many nails on the inner wall of the cabinet, and a room number was written on each nail, from room 101 to room 1006.
"The nail should be hung with the keys to each room, and the landlord has hidden the keys to all the rooms!" Aunt Ding seemed to be telling someone else on purpose, her expression was very surprised, but this surprised expression was too contrived in Chen Ge's opinion.
With wide eyes and open mouths, they are completely superficial and not at all flexible.
After seeing the key, Chen Ge also subconsciously showed surprise.
Chen Ge's surprise almost mobilized his five senses to deduce, and he moved his whole body with a single hair, and his emotions were free to retract.
What is surprise, this is surprise.
"It looks like the killer has taken the keys to all the rooms, which is not good news for us." Chen Ge quickly regained his composure, he knew that Aunt Ding was hiding some secrets, but he didn't debunk the other party.
"So what do we do now? The murderer was lawless, killed my family, and it was related to the disappearance of the landlord...... "Qu Ying really didn't expect things to develop like this, he felt that he was dragged into a big pit by Chen Ge.
The other tenants were also a little panicked, and they didn't have much sense of crisis when Qu Gui was killed, but now that the landlord may have been poisoned, most of them began to feel uneasy, and a strange mood spread among the tenants in the building.
"Let's go to the electrician's house on the eighth floor first, didn't your father quarrel with him before?" Chen Ge and Qu Ying were about to walk out of room 901 when the middle-aged man with women's underwear hidden in his house suddenly stood up.
He blocked the door of the living room and stared at Chen Ge with both eyes.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Chen Ge's expression did not change at all, his heart was too strong, he was obviously standing in the midst of a group of perverted madmen, but he behaved in a way that made people unable to find the slightest fault.
"Although the tenants in the building are very mobile, there are often new people moving in, and there are also old people who leave quietly, but ......" The middle-aged man walked in front of Chen Ge: "I don't seem to have seen you before, are you new to move in?" If you're new to moving in, you should have met with your landlord, and you should be the last one to see your landlord. ”
"The last person to see the landlord was the murderer, not me." Chen Ge pulled Wen Qing to his side: "There is a child named Xiang Nuan living in 401, you should know, right?" ”
When Chen Ge was talking, his brain was running rapidly, and he went through all the sets of words he had thought of before in his mind.
"You know, the kid lives alone in 401. His dad died, his mom was a vixen, he was maintained by other men, he didn't live here, and he occasionally left the neighborhood to find his mom. The middle-aged man's words made Wen Qing tremble.
"My sister and I were hired by Xiang Nuan's mother to take care of Xiang Nuan, the child was sick and had some brain problems, I was the psychiatrist responsible for treating him, and my sister was responsible for taking care of his daily life." Chen Ge said a lot of things about Xiang Nuan again, and the middle-aged man slowly let go.
"It seems that the child's mother has found him a good father, and he doesn't have to worry about spending money." The middle-aged man's gaze stayed on Wen Qing for a long time.
Chen Ge stood between the middle-aged man and Wen Qing, still with a smile on his face: "You've been looking for my stubble since just now, are you afraid of something?" ”
