Chapter 1080 Are You Afraid of Something? (Four Thousand)
The emotions of the neighbors were all aroused. Everyone was worried whether their secret would be discovered. Everyone wanted to catch the murderer who killed through the window earlier.
Chen Ge was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. Just as he was about to say something more, the middle-aged man who had hidden women's underwear at home suddenly spoke again.
"Wait a minute, I don't object to our searching for the murderer room by room, but I think it's better to ask the landlord first to be on the safe side." The middle-aged man had met Chen Ge before. Chen Ge is not too trusting.
"No problem, let's go to the landlord now." Chen Ge directly blocked the mouth of the middle-aged man, he didn't want to get entangled in meaningless questions to avoid accidents: "Hurry up, everyone, let's catch the murderer earlier." Demon, maybe one more life can be saved."
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 taking the initiative now, as long as the neighbors calm down, his situation will still become very dangerous.
Only by making good use of this period of time to divide the residents in the entire building as soon as possible can he ensure his own safety.
"Qu Ying, why do you think the murderer is targeting your family? Who did your family have feud with recently? Why did he want to destroy your entire family?" In order to guide the thinking direction of the neighbors, Chen Ge took the initiative to ask Qu Ying, of course he The questions asked were all related to the murder case, and at first glance they sounded very critical, pointing directly to the core of the case.
Qu Ying didn't know why the "murderer" would kill him all over the house, but in order not to expose himself as a murderer, he had to cooperate with Chen Ge to continue acting at this time.
After thinking 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 has never offended anyone?"
"Think about it carefully, do you have any conflicts with the residents in the building at ordinary times?" Chen Ge was stubborn, obviously in order to protect himself, and threw all the problems to Qu Ying.
He was forcing a murderer to think about his own reasons for killing himself.
If Qu Ying can't think of an answer, or casually mentions a person's name, the other party will become the main object of suspicion.
If it was in other districts, it would be okay to be the main suspect, but it is completely different here.
Almost no one in this community is "clean", and everyone has dark secrets.
in other words,
Everyone here can't stand investigation and exposure, and it doesn't matter what they want to do after closing the door, but at this time, the secret hidden in their hearts will become a rope to kill them.
"I really can't figure it out." Qu Ying didn't want to be used by Chen Ge, and the neighbors who were hiding secrets in their hearts were very interesting and didn't speak.
They all know that the wisest choice at this time is to shut up, because talking nonsense is likely to get burned.
"I remember a few nights ago, when you quarreled 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 happened to your father too. The conflict seems to be due to a wiring problem. They had a fight in the corridor, and the electrician threatened your father at that time..." Xiao Sun really wanted to catch the murderer, so he said a few names casually: " What's wrong? What are you all looking at me for? Am I wrong?"
Xiao Sun didn't know what these neighbors looked like in private, he just told some things he saw, which also proved from the side that he should be one of the few "normal people", and he was not afraid of being investigated.
"The clues you mentioned are too important! After we find the landlord, we will go to these people's homes immediately!" Chen Ge admired Xiao Sun very much. It doesn't matter if Qu Ying refuses to cooperate. Xiao Sun helped Chen Ge upstairs A gap was torn among the inner dwellers.
The few tenants mentioned by Xiao Sun just now will become the first batch of victims. Xiao Sun has done a good job, but his own situation has become very dangerous because of this.
The residential building has ten floors. The landlord lives alone on the ninth floor. There is no one on the tenth floor. All the rooms are locked.
Everyone came to Room 901 together, Qu Ying knocked on the door several times but no one responded.
"The landlord may not be in the house, let's go elsewhere first."
"Wait!" Chen Ge grabbed Qu Ying's arm: "A tenant was killed in the building. There was such a commotion, and the landlord didn't respond at all. Do you think this is normal?"
"It's not normal. I guess the landlord is not in the building. He may have gone to other places in the community. The landlords of these buildings hold regular meetings. Maybe the landlord is in other buildings now."
"Meeting meeting?" Chen Ge discovered another very important message from Qu Ying's words.
"They would get together and talk about rent, the environment of the neighborhood and so on."
"What you said makes sense, but you overlooked a very important point." Chen Ge slowed down: "I went to the first floor and saw that the corridor door was locked, and that lock was locked from the inside of the corridor!"
"But what does this mean?"
"Only the landlord has the key to the corridor lock, and the lock is locked from the inside of the corridor, 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 important thing. serious problem!
"The landlord is still in the building, but he didn't react at all when there was a murder in the building. I suspect he has been killed."
The nature of the killing of the landlord is completely different from that of Qu Gui, because the landlord may have spare keys for all the doors in the building.
Now even Qu Ying's face became very ugly, the development of the matter has exceeded his imagination.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, let's break the door lock and go in and have a look." Chen Ge held the backpack and glanced at the anti-theft door, he didn't want to take out the skull hammer at this time: "Do you have any tools at home? It’s still the same sentence, human life is at stake, and we are forced to do this. If nothing happens to the landlord, he will definitely understand us.”
"My house is being renovated, and I have a whole set of tools. Wait a minute, I'll go get them." Aunt Ding was the first to speak. Her tone was hurried, and it sounded like she was going back to get the tools. In fact, she might want to go back to do other things. Thing, it's just an excuse.
"I also have the tools to unlock the lock. I'll look for it when I go home." Several tenants left again. Chen Ge knew what they wanted to do, but he didn't stop them.
It is not difficult to get rid of the "secret" of one's own room in a very short period of time, but it is rare to leave no clues.
A few minutes later, the neighbors came back one after another, holding various tools in their hands.
Everyone worked together and it took nearly half an hour to open the anti-theft door of 901.
"It's really troublesome. It would be nice if they were all wooden doors." Chen Ge pushed Qu Ying into the room first, but Qu Ying dared not speak out.
"The house is very tidy. There are no traces of fighting or blood. It seems that we are overthinking." Qu Ying walked in the front. It should be the first time he entered the landlord's house. He seemed a little cautious and did not dare to disturb the house thing.
"You seem to be very afraid of the landlord?" Chen Ge followed Qu Ying like a ghost, and his voice drifted into Qu Ying's ears.
"Nothing, don't talk nonsense."
"Really?" Chen Ge looked at Qu Ying. He found that the landlord has a very high status in the hearts of the tenants in the building. Qu Ying's abnormal behavior is a good proof.
Without further entanglement on this issue, Chen Ge searched the room with his neighbors. They pushed open the door of the house, and finally everyone stopped in the bathroom.
Open the shower curtain, there is no shower and bathtub installed inside, but a small TV set.
Chen Ge tried to press the TV switch, and the TV started normally, but there were only black and white snowflakes on the screen.
"Why is there a TV in the bathroom?" Qu Ying couldn't figure it out.
"This TV should be playing some shady content." Chen Ge looked at the surrounding environment. There are no windows in the bathroom. Close the bathroom door and draw the shower curtain. This is a completely enclosed space. People have no idea what the landlord is doing in there.
Moving the TV, Chen Ge found a large map of wiring behind the TV. He followed the wiring and found that all the wiring led upstairs.
The lines in rooms 901 and 1001 are connected to each other, and the landlord's secret should be hidden in room 1001 on the tenth floor.
Chen Ge didn't tell others about his discovery. He saw the problem from those lines. Normal home appliances don't need to go through such complicated lines. Chen Ge suspected that the landlord had installed monitoring in the building.
That landlord was hiding in the bathroom, frantically spying on other people's lives.
Chen Ge probably guessed the landlord's secret, the question is where did the landlord go?
If the landlord saw the monster in the cursed hospital from the surveillance, he would definitely be prepared.
Was it a monster from a cursed hospital that killed the landlord?
But if they did, after killing the landlord, they might have already obtained the key, and there is no need to reach a deal with Qu Ying.
The crux of the problem is here. The monsters in the cursed hospital probably also went to the landlord, but they couldn't find it, so they retreated to find Qu Ying, and prepared to unite with the residents in the building step by step.
Chen Ge slowly figured everything out. Someone in the building should know that the landlord was peeping. In order not to reveal his secret, one or several of them killed the landlord together.
People who can know that there is a problem with the line and are good at wiring...
Chen Ge suddenly thought of the electrician Xiao Sun mentioned just now. The electrician lives on the eighth floor, which is very close to the ninth floor where the landlord lives. He is very suspicious.
"Look here!" Aunt Ding opened the wardrobe in the landlord's bedroom. After she removed the clothes, she found that there were many nails on the inner wall of the cabinet. A room number was written on each nail, from room 101 to room 1006.
"The keys to each room should be hung on the nails, and the landlord has hidden the keys to all the rooms!" Auntie Ding seemed to be telling others on purpose. She had a very surprised expression on her face, but Chen Ge saw this surprised It's too contrived.
Eyes wide open, mouth wide open, completely superficial, not agile at all.
After seeing the key, Chen Ge also subconsciously showed surprise.
Chen Ge's astonishment almost mobilized his five sense organs to interpret it, and his whole body was affected by a single hair, and his emotions were freely retracted.
What is surprise, this is surprise.
"It seems that the murderer has already taken all the keys of the rooms. This is not good news for us." Chen Ge quickly recovered his composure. He knew that Auntie Ding was hiding some secrets, but he didn't try to expose her.
"Then what should 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. Qu Gui was killed and they didn't have a great sense of crisis, but now that the landlord may also be murdered, most of them began to feel uneasy, and a strange emotion 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 leave room 901 when the middle-aged man who had hidden women's underwear suddenly stood up.
He blocked the living room door, his eyes fixed on Chen Ge.
"Are you okay?" Chen Ge's expression didn't change at all. His heart was too strong. He was clearly standing among a group of perverted lunatics, but he acted like he couldn't find the slightest fault.
"Although the tenants in the building are very mobile, new people will often move in, and old people will leave quietly, but..." The middle-aged man walked up to Chen Ge: "I don't seem to have seen it before. You, are you new? If you're new, you should have met the landlord, and you should have been the last person to see the landlord."
"The last person who saw 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?"
When Chen Ge was speaking, his brain was running fast, and he went through all the sets of rhetoric he had thought up before.
"Yes, that child lives alone in 401. His father is dead, and his mother is a vixen. She is taken care of by other men and doesn't live here. He will occasionally leave the community to find his mother." The middle-aged man's words made Wen Qing angry. trembling.
"My sister and I were hired by Xiang Nuan's mother to take care of Xiang Nuan. The child is sick and has some brain problems. I am the psychiatrist who treats him, and my sister is responsible for taking care of his daily life." Chen Ge After talking a lot about Xiang Nuan, the middle-aged man slowly moved away.
"It seems that the child's mother has found a good father for him, so he doesn't have to worry about spending money." The middle-aged man's eyes lingered on Wen Qing for a long time.
Standing between the middle-aged man and Wen Qing, Chen Ge still had a smile on his face: "You've been picking on me since just now, what are you afraid of?"
