Standing next to Chen Ge, Wen Qing did not know what to say or ask. She was afraid that she might accidentally expose some important information. After all, by now, she at least understood that there was no one in this building that could truly be trusted. One wrong step and she could put them in extreme danger.
"Why don't you go and accompany Granny Lee in the living room? I will stay to investigate what happened here."
Wen Qing nodded and left.
Chen Ge stayed in the bedroom alone. He closed the bedroom door and knelt by the bed to inspect the boy's dead body. The burning from electrocution, the bruises from heavy beatings, Chen Ge's eyes finally landed around the boy's neck.
"He was strangled to death by electrical wires. There are wooden chips lodged in the boy's fingernails. Before he perished, his arms were tied to the bed frame…"
Chen Ge undid the rope around the body. He placed the clean cover over the boy.
