"It's only 2 am; there's still time." Chen Ge took out his phone to look through the stuff that he had recorded. He was considering how to complete the mission at the underground morgue.
The passenger wanted to go to an abandoned school in the middle of the night, and that caused great pressure on the driver. With sweat running down his face, he kept studying Chen Ge through the rear-view mirror.
Chen Ge felt uncomfortable being scrutinized so closely. He suspected that if he continued to do this, he might be going on the blacklist of the taxi company at Jiujiang.
"Looks like I should consider buying a car, but I don't have a driver's license. Or I should try to find a Specter that knows how to drive." The truck driver that Chen Ge had met in Eastern Jiujiang flashed across his mind; the man was quite suitable. "After completing the mission at the underground morgue, I should pay Eastern Jiujiang a visit. If the truck driver is willing to join the Haunted House, I can save the money on buying a car."
Finding a potential employee, Chen Ge could not help but smile. Chen Ge arrived at Mu Yang High School at 2:40 am. He waded through the brush and soon found the school hiding in the darkness.
"This place is only a two-star scenario, but how could it feel creepier than the Third Sick Hall?" Chen Ge pulled open the backpack. He was there to ask the old principal for his help, so he did not want to make it look like he came with aggression in mind. However, without the hammer in his hands, Chen Ge could not calm down. Holding the hammer, Chen Ge pressed the recorder and entered the school. "The old principal once appeared in the sealed classroom."
The bodies inside the well had been discovered, and after the police left, it had been a long time since a living person returned to this place. The grass had swallowed up the school grounds, and Mu Yang High School had returned to its original state.
Walking down the charred corridor, Chen Ge entered the education block. He pushed open the door to the sealed classroom and looked inside. The tables and chairs were arranged neatly, and like how he did on his first visit, Chen Ge sat in the middle of the room.
There was weird writing on the blackboard, various senseless requests were carved on the table, the windows rattled slightly, and the wind blew into from the cracks on the glass. Nothing had changed, but the questions in Chen Ge's mind were different from the previous time he was there.
"Where could the old principal be hiding?" Chen Ge did not have any bad intention toward the old principal—he just wanted them to have a reunion. After thinking for a while, Chen Ge removed the ballpoint pen from his backpack. Sitting there, Chen Ge started playing the Pen Spirit game.
"Pen Spirit, Pen Spirit, you are my spirit from my previous life, and I am your spirit in this life. Can you tell me where Mu Yang High School's first principal is?"
The ballpoint pen stood perpendicularly on the table, and after some hesitance, she wrote, "Office."
Chen Ge nodded when he saw the word. He felt like the Pen Spirit had found a sense of belonging in the Haunted House and even pride; he felt comforted by that. He stood up and left the sealed classroom. Chen Ge walked to the office block. He looked through every room and found the principal's room at the end of the corridor.
To leave a good impression on the principal, Chen Ge knocked on the door five times, and after hearing no answer, he used the hammer to knock it down. Chen Ge then realized that the room was quite empty. "The old principal built Mu Yang High School from the ground up, so he shouldn't have left this place."
Perhaps the timing was not right, or perhaps he had some reasons to not show up. "In his life, the old principal was a nice person. After death, he came back to take care of the students because he was worried. Now that I'm taking care of the students, could he have moved on before he had no other reason to stay in this world anymore?"
Chen Ge thought about it and realized that the possibility of that was not zero. Chen Ge stepped into the room. The principal's office was tidy; other than the table, chair, and a shelf, there was nothing else.
"The Pen Spirit must have her reasons for telling me to come to this office. Could it be that the old principal knows that I'm looking for him so he left already?" The image of a fat old man appeared in Chen Ge's mind, and he was wrought with uncertainty. He walked to the table to pull the drawers open. The first drawer had several certificates for city-level competitions. Mu Yang High School had few students and teachers, and the students did not really score good marks. Normally, when they were invited to competitions, they were there to take up the last place. The number of certificates that they had won was little, but the old principal had kept every single one of them. "The old principal really did want to build a good school, but he couldn't do it alone."
Chen Ge opened the second drawer. It was filled with appreciation letters. Most of them came from students, and some were for donations of outside parties. "He even kept these things."
After rummaging through those letters, he did not find anything useful.
He pulled open the last drawer. It had a pair of reading glasses and several thick account books. "Contribution and donation statistics?"
Chen Ge flipped through the books, and when he saw the name on the first line, he was stunned.
"Jiujiang Mental Illness Research Center, Doctor Gao?"
To make sure that this was the Doctor Gao whom he knew, Chen Ge went online to search for it. "Indeed, this is Gao Ru Xue's father."
Flipping through the books, Doctor Gao had always been the top donor every month, and this changed Chen Ge's impression of the man again. There were donations from different organizations in the latter half of the book. Chen Ge knew about those because they always made a big deal out of the donations like they could not wait for the whole world to know about their charity. However, in reality, their donations were much lower than Doctor Gao's.
Doctor Gao did not once mention that he was so charitable. "Could someone like this be the chairperson for the society?"
Chen Ge stood next to the table. If Doctor Gao was really the chairperson of the ghost stories society, then he had to be the most complicated person that Chen Ge had ever met. "On one hand, he is supporting charity, helping patients, but on the other, he murders and aids the monsters behind the door. What is his real purpose?"
Chen Ge could not fathom Doctor Gao's thoughts. The best psychologist in Jiujiang had his own thoughts buried deep in his heart. The last account book contained the replies that Doctor Gao had written to the children. These were all kept by the old principal. Chen Ge found a picture that was slid between the pages.
The picture was blurry, but he could recognize it with one glance. Doctor Gao was in the picture. He was standing next to a young man and surrounded by children. Standing not far from them was a shy woman. The woman's face was blurred, but from her frame and size, she seemed similar to the strange woman that Chen Ge had run into at Western Jiujiang Medical University.

"This woman is Doctor Gao's wife?" The woman's face was extremely blurry, and as Chen Ge tried to study the picture, his gaze slowly fell on a different person. The two young men that stood in the middle of the phone—one was Doctor Gao, and the other also looked very familiar. "This person who is standing next to Doctor Gao looks like Doctor Chen from Jiujiang's Children's Home."
On the night that he visited Coffin Village, Jiang Ling and Fan Yu had disappeared alongside Doctor Chen, so at the time, the police had suspected that it was the doctor who kidnapped the two children. "Doctor Chen and Doctor Gao are friends, and it looks like they have both worked at Jiujiang's Mental Illness Research Center before."
Looking at the picture in his hand, Chen Ge sat down in the chair. The old principal had really given him a surprise. The appearance of this picture solved a problem that had been troubling Chen Ge. "At Coffin Village, the Zhu woman said that No. 10 got into a fight with an outsider, and it was because of that outsider that No. 10 did not have time to enter the blood door with Wu Fei."
Chen Ge thought back to how the Zhu woman described the outsider. He was wearing a white coat and looked like a doctor with children surrounding him. That mysterious outsider, Chen Ge believed, was Doctor Chen. "Looks like there is more than meets the eye about this Doctor Chen, but why would he get into a fight with Doctor Gao? From this picture, they should be friends."
Doctor Gao and Doctor Chen seemed to be complete opposites. One was someone mature who could handle everything thrown at him perfectly while the other was a doctor who could not survive in a large hospital and was forced to take up a job at the children's home.
"The old director mentioned a Doctor Chen in his letters, and that Doctor Chen is probably not my father but the Doctor Chen at the Children's Home, but why would the old director address his letters to Linjiang New Schistosomiasis Control Station? Did Doctor Chen once work at Linjiang New Schistosomiasis Control Station? But wasn't he a psychologist?
"The old director started the communication with Doctor Chen, so how did it end up with Doctor Gao liaising with the patients at the Third Sick Hall? Did the conflict between the two doctors started at the Third Sick Hall? Their opinions on how to deal with this issue split?"
Chen Ge wanted to ask the old director, who was now just a head, but the door only opened at midnight. Once he missed it, he would need to wait another twenty-four hours.
"My parents also left some information about Third Sick Hall. Director Luo once mentioned that he overheard them talking about the Third Sick Hall before they disappeared, so what is the role my parents play in this whole situation?"
Chen Ge had been looking for information on his missing parents, and he had a feeling that Doctor Chen and Doctor Gao should know something. Leaving the principal's office, Chen Ge wandered around Mu Yang High School. He wanted to thank the old principal in person, but the man did not seem like he was going to show up. "Where else could he be hiding?"
With some regret, Chen Ge left Mu Yang High School. He arrived at the Haunted House around dawn, and as he stepped through the door, the black phone vibrated. It was to inform him that the set-up for the one-star scenario Wife's Room had been completed.
"One-star scenarios are not that useful for me now."
With the responsibility toward his visitors, Chen Ge entered the underground scenarios with his backpack. With the stairs as the center, to the left was Mu Yang High School, to the right was the Third Sick Hall, straight in front was Coffin Village, and behind the stairs was the new Wife's Room. "The House of Horrors is starting to shape up. After the underground morgue has been completed, it will be about time to expand the place for the third time."
The third expansion was a benchmark. After that, Chen Ge's Haunted House would upgrade to become a Maze of Terror!
As for what kind of reward or functions would be added, Chen Ge had no clue. Based on the introduction on the black phone, he just knew that he would be heavily rewarded after the upgrade.
Standing in the underground tunnel, Chen Ge looked at the new scenario, the isolated room. Opening the door, the room looked similar to Room 3004. However, the walls, the kitchenette, and the coffee table were covered with blood, giving a huge visual impact. "The Wife's Room should be a reconstruction of the crime scene for Ma Yin's sister's death."
Chen Ge did not look uncomfortable. Holding the hammer, he walked around the room and soon discovered something weird about it. The room was decorated with many broken art pieces, and as he entered, the pieces seemed to turn to focus on him.
Chen Ge summoned Ol' Zhou's group to let them get a sense of the place, and the three ghosts' reaction was weird. They were sure that there was a ghost hiding in the room, but they could not tell where the ghost was hiding. They could sense its weak presence like it was still asleep.
When Chen Ge heard that there was a ghost hiding in the room, his eyes lit up. He pushed open the bedroom door, and the expression froze on his face. There was a long noose hanging in the middle of the room, and there was a bloodied bedsheet poking out from the closet. There were some blood stains on the ground, and sitting on the headboard was a very ugly statue. "This room is completely identical to the room in Ma Yin's video."
Chen Ge walked to the bed and studied the statue for a long time. He held the statue's chin and said the sentence that he had uttered several days ago. "You can verify the validity of my every sentence, yes?"
Hearing his voice, something inside the statue seemed to come alive—the presence around it was different from before, like a person had been wakened up from their sleep. The ugly face revealed a shocked expression, and blood tears fell down the statue's eyes.
"This is such a coincidence. We meet again." By then, Chen Ge already knew it was Ma Yin's sister's soul that was trapped inside the statue, so he did not want to torment her. "This will be your new home in the future. Don't worry, I know what happened to you and will treat you like family."
Fingers sliding across the cheek, Chen Ge helped dry the statue's tears. His action was so gentle and soft. "The murderer who killed you has already been captured by the police. If you have any other needs, feel free to tell me."
The blood tears kept falling, but Chen Ge could not tell whether it was due to fear or excitement.
"I feel like there's a small misunderstanding between us. Actually, I'm not the kind of person you think I am." Chen Ge knew that he should not force himself forward, but he had confidence that he could change the ghost's impression of him. Was the Pen Spirit not the perfect example?
"Why don't you three try to persuade her? I'll wait outside." Chen Ge tossed Ol' Zhou's group a look, and then he exited the bedroom. He closed the door and stood beside it, and soon Ol' Zhou's group's voices came from inside.
"In the future, we'll be colleagues, and you might not believe me, but this period when I'm at the Haunted House is the happiest moments of my life."
"Our boss might look scary, but he is a good and kind person. He respects us and understands us."
"You will slowly learn to like this place. We have many different types of ghosts here, and we are all friends. Everyone has their own unique power, but we are all honest and hardworking people."

Even Chen Ge, who stood at the door, was feeling embarrassed. "Should I tell them that the statue can verify the authenticity of their sentences? Oh well, it could be worse."
Leaving the underground scenario, Chen Ge returned to the staff breakroom. He opened the door and crawled into bed. "Ran to three places in one night. I sure have a vibrant night life."
Removing his jacket, Chen Ge fell asleep when it was almost dawn. Chen Ge was woken up by the alarm at around 8 am. He brushed his teeth and washed his face before starting to clean the Haunted House. Xu Wan arrived at the Haunted House with breakfast at 8:30 am. She had a brief conversation with Chen Ge before going to the dressing room. The moment he finished the breakfast brought by Xu Wan, Gu Feiyu arrived. The young man looked spirited and bright. Without make-up, one could not tell that he worked at the Haunted House.
"Good morning, boss!"
"Quick, go and get your make-up done. The visitors will be coming soon." Chen Ge sat on the steps and put the finished breakfast away. When he saw the smile on Gu Feiyu's face, he asked, "Did something good happen to you?"
"No, I just found something interesting." Gu Feiyu squatted down next to Chen Ge and bounced lightly into Chen Ge. Then he asked in a conspiratorial tone, "Boss, do you have a thing with Sister Xu Wan? She brings you breakfast daily, and that one time, I even saw her arguing with the boss that sells breakfast, telling him to skip the spicy stuff cause you always sleep late so you cannot have anything spicy."
"I always sleep late? How does she know that?"
"She cares about you." The smile on Gu Feiyu's face grew bigger. "Actually, I come very early every morning, but I walk very slowly because I don't want to disturb you two."
"That is not an excuse for you to be late. If you don't report to work by 8:30 am next time, I'll reduce your salary." Chen Ge stood up.
"Please have mercy!" Gu Feiyu followed behind Chen Ge. "Boss, I just think you have many admirers, and I wish to be as popular as you."
Xiao Gu followed Chen Ge into the Haunted House, and he sounded sincere in wanting to learn. "When my uncle got discharged from the hospital, he told me to learn from you, but I'm dumb, and I don't know where to start."
"You want to learn how to become a popular person from me?" Chen Ge thought about it for a while, thinking back to the stuff that he had done, and he felt like if he told Gu Feiyu everything, his image would crumble instantly. After some hesitance, Chen Ge patted Xiao Gu's shoulder lightly. "Be calm, hardworking, and fearless; that's all I can tell you."
Gu Feiyu ruminated on Chen Ge's words, thinking that Chen Ge had wisdom.
"You're still young, plenty of things to learn." Chen Ge looked at the young man. "Since you work at the Haunted House during the day, why don't you go attend some classes at night. One day, if the Haunted House closes, at least you'll have a skill you can sell."
Entering the dressing room, Chen Ge helped Gu Feiyu get into the Doctor Skull-cracker's outfit. After sending the man away, he started to do the make-up for Xu Wan. Looking at his employee in the mirror, Chen Ge's lips moved like he wanted to say something.
"Boss, if you want to say something, just say it." Xu Wan knew Chen Ge well. After all, they had been through the Haunted House's hardest times together.
"It's nothing serious. I just feel like it's embarrassing for me as a boss to be taken care of by my employee daily," Chen Ge said as he continued the make-up.
"I saw how tired you were and just wanted to help you, but I don't know how to, so I can do something minor like bringing you food." Xu Wan looked at her reflection in the mirror, and she felt satisfied. "I shall enter the scenario now."
"Okay."
Chen Ge sat on the chair that Xu Wan had just vacated and watched the girl walk away. "How did she know that I was about to talk about the food before I even said anything?"
Shaking his head, Chen Ge stood up. He did not think that Xu Wan would ever harm him—he just got an increased interest in the girl.
Exiting the dressing room, Chen Ge pushed the gate open, and the warm sunlight showered his body. He stretched lazily. The theme park opened at 9 pm.
Due to the new introduction of the horror app, many old visitors returned, and the ranking on the screen kept changing. The theme park's workers handled the lines, and Chen Ge only needed to look after the underground scenarios. Each scenario had visitors, and Chen Ge was under great pressure. Director Luo was worried about Chen Ge, so he set up a special emergency rescue center at the resting tent. Regardless of whether they would need it or not, the fact that several doctors and nurses were standing on duty gave the visitors a different experience.
To facilitate the transportation of fainted customers, Director Luo even had someone design a special trolley, and it was painted with the words 'Specially for Fainted Visitors'.
With Director Luo and Uncle Xu helping him with the admin stuff, Chen Ge was not worried. His focus was on unlocking new scenarios. The day flew by. After sending away the last batch of visitors at 6:30 pm, Chen Ge had Xu Wan and Gu Feiyu, who had been busy as well, get off work, and then he grabbed the tools and started to clean the Haunted House.
He busied himself until 7 pm, and the people at New Century Park had almost all left already. Compared to the rowdiness in the day, the theme park was scarily quiet at night. After cleaning, Chen Ge entered the scenarios to take a spin. Interestingly enough, whenever he entered the scenario, the ghosts would place the stuff that the visitors had left behind at the Haunted House at the entrance.
Chen Ge collected the items and labelled them before sending them to lost and found. This was something that he would do daily, but this time, when he was going to the lost objects, he found something weird. "A security pass?"
Staring at the picture and name, Chen Ge was shocked. "Why would Zhang Li's security pass be here?"
Zhang Li was the security guard who had horrible reputation at Western Jiujiang Medical University; Chen Ge had met him once.
"He came to visit the Haunted House today?" After some contemplation, he pocketed the pass. After sending the stuff to lost and found, Chen Ge entered the surveillance room holding the security pass. He focused on the footage in Minghun and Murder by Midnight. Chen Ge knew everyone who visited the underground scenarios, so if Zhang Li had come to visit, he would have visited a one-star scenario aboveground.
Chen Ge glanced through the video, focusing on the faces. He spent half an hour before he found Zhang Li on screen. This guard who had a bad personality was together with a young girl. They visited Minghun and Murder by Midnight respectively.

From the footage, Chen Ge could clearly see that Zhang Li and the woman next to him stayed away from the students from Western Jiujiang Medical University. They did not seem to not share a good relationship. Zhang Li did not have any close interaction with the woman; they did not look like lovers, more like siblings. "Could this girl be Zhang Shihan?"
Lee Zheng had once mentioned this girl to Chen Ge as well. She had been in an altercation with Ma Yin's sister before her appearance, and that was why she was also on the suspect list. In the video, they looked like normal visitors. They would run when something scary happened and they would scream at the expected spots. However, as time went by, Chen Ge noticed something strange.
Zhang Shihan initially walked in front of Zhang Li. She was a forensic science student, so it was expected she had a stronger heart than Zhang Li, the security guard. However, at the last scene of Minghun when Xu Wan appeared, Zhang Shihan almost collapsed to the ground. When her body fell backward, it was Zhang Li who held her from falling. From the expression, it was also noticeable that when Zhang Shihan was almost dazed from terror, Zhang Li was still very calm.
"How come a forensic doctor who faces dead bodies daily is more scared than a normal security guard?" Then when Zhang Shihan and Zhang Li entered the Murder by Midnight scenario, when they were chased by Xiao Gu, Zhang Shihan showed nervousness and terror, but Zhang Li was very calm. "It feels like this security guard has been through something big."
The two visitors left the Haunted House after Murder by Midnight. Chen Ge pulled out the surveillance by the door. Zhang Shihan and Zhang Li stood by the corner of the resting tent. Even though Zhang Shihan's face was white, she was excited. Her hands waved animatedly while she told Zhang Li something. Zhang Li also showed a rare smile; it was as if whenever his sister was happy, he too would be happy.
It sounded like Zhang Shihan wanted to try out the two-star scenario. She pulled Zhang Li along to the back of the line, but Zhang Li resisted. No matter what, he refused to move. "Why wouldn't Zhang Li visit the two-star scenario? Could he tell that there are real ghosts inside the two-star scenarios?"
The pair of siblings stayed inside the tent for a long time before they moved onto other attractions. "Zhang Shihan is acting normally, but this Zhang Li sure is suspicious."
Chen Ge thought about it. He shoved the pass into his pocket and left the Haunted House with his backpack. "Before Lee Zheng calls, I need to collect as much information on the underground morgue as I can."
When he arrived at Western Jiujiang Medical University, Chen Ge ran to the security stop. He glanced into the place, but Zhang Li was not there. "I'm sorry, but I'm looking for Zhang Li. I work at New Century Park. When he visited us this morning, he left his stuff there."
"You personally came to return the item?" The one who spoke was a rotund guard. He looked friendly, and his stomach was huge; his guard outfit could barely fit his large body.
"It's what we should do." Chen Ge glanced at the fat guard's security pass; his name was Wang Erbao. "Do you mind telling me where he stays? I wish to hand him his stuff personally to make sure there is no mistake."
"With his strange personality, Ol' Zhang cannot mix with the rest of us. He moved out on his own. You can find him at Hai Ming Apartments."
"Hai Ming Apartments?" Chen Ge was startled. That was where Men Nan's side persona had once stayed.
"It's normal if you have not heard of it. The building is old and dirty. Other than the low rent, there's nothing good about it."
"What room is he staying in?"
"Room 403." Then, Wang Erbao added with concern, "Ol' Zhang is a weird character. If he is rude toward you, please don't take offense, he was just born that way."
"Okay, thank you." Chen Ge called a cab to rush to Hai Ming Apartments. Inside the car, Chen Ge was considering one question—was it a coincidence that Zhang Li was staying at Hai Ming Apartments, or was there a deeper reason?
"Men Nan said that he saw the rental message on the school forum. Could that person who spread the news be Zhang Li? If it's him, why would he do that?" Chen Ge arrived at Hai Ming Apartments with the question unsolved.
Knocking on the door to Room 403, Chen Ge waited for a long time before a suppressed voice said, "Who are you looking for?"
The door did not open, and there were no footsteps. The owner seemed to have moved to stand beside the door carefully and glance at the guest outside before he answered the knocks.
Is he afraid of something?
Chen Ge tried to make himself sound friendly. "I'm from New Century Park. Your security pass was left inside the park. I asked about you from your colleague before I found this place."
There was no reply. Several seconds later, the door opened. "Give me the pass."
The door was only opened a sliver, and Zhang Li's body was hiding behind the door. Chen Ge was even more suspicious upon seeing how cautious the man was.
"Fine, but you at least need to let see what you look like, right? I don't want to get scolded for giving the pass to the wrong person." Chen Ge took out the pass to show the man behind the door. The man hesitated before he opened the door.
Tall and thin, with sunken eyes, Zhang Li was wearing a pair of sports shoes. He wore a pair of normal gray jacket, and his pockets were full. He looked like he was about to go out. "Now can you give me the pass?"
"Not yet." Chen Ge looked at Zhang Li's expression. The man should have recognized him by now. Anymore deception would have been pointless. "Other than to return the pass, I still have a few questions to ask you."
Zhang Li's face fell, and without warning, he closed the door. Chen Ge reacted fast to block him. "I don't have bad intentions; these few questions are crucial to you and me!"
Zhang Li glared at Chen Ge and warned, "Let go!"
"I know there is a problem in your heart. Think about it. Perhaps I can help you."
"I told you to let go!" Zhang Li raised his voice, and his face twisted. "I don't need your help, let go!"
Seeing the insistence on Zhang Li's face, Chen Ge did not force the man. He dropped his backpack to the ground and pulled out the half-meter-long hammer. When the hammer showed itself, the stench of blood flooded the corridor, and one could even hear the sound of wailing souls.
"It is my intention to help you, but whether you want my help or not, that is not my concern."
Staring at the weapon in Chen Ge's arms, Zhang Li's eyelids twitched. After a long time, with a straight face, he forced out, "Come in."

Zhang Li moved his steps slowly; he did not dare expose his back to Chen Ge. When Chen Ge entered the room, he added in that dark and suppressed voice of his, "Keep the door open for air ventilation."
BANG!
Chen Ge locked the door and dragged the hammer into the room. He looked around. The room was simple with little furniture, and there was a pungent smell of subpar cigarette smoke in the air. There was a metal plate on the coffee table, which was filled with cigarette butts, and there were holes on the couch that were probably cigarette burns.
"You're a heavy smoker?" Chen Ge acted like he had returned to his own home. He grabbed a chair and sat in the living room close to the door.
"Does that count as a question?" Zhang Li crossed his arms and stood beside the coffee table. He looked very guarded.
"Just answer the questions that I ask. This is for your own good." Chen Ge glanced at the cigarette butts; they came from various brands, but they were all cheap brands.
"For my own good?" Zhang Li retreated several steps to lean against the window. "What do you want?"
Chen Ge placed the security pass on the table and put the hammer away. "Who is the girl that came to the Haunted House with you this morning?"
"My little sister. She just got fired from her job. She wasn't feeling great, so I asked for a day off to accompany her to the theme park."
"When the two of you entered the Haunted House, why did you purposely evade the students from Western Jiujiang Medical University? Were you afraid of being recognized?" Chen Ge kept his questions broad. When Zhang Li fell into the trap, he would then tighten the scope.
"The students don't like me. If they recognized me, it might be troublesome." Zhang Li took a deep breath. "But my sister and I have gotten used to it already."
Realizing that there were words left unsaid, Chen Ge asked, "Gotten used to what?"
"My sister used to study at the university, but she got into an argument with another girl at the school due to some conflict. Coincidentally, the girl disappeared the next day." Zhang Li's fingers tightened. "Then someone created a rumor at the school, saying that the girl's disappearance had something to do with my little sister."
The thing was indeed quite a coincidence, or else Lee Zheng would not have listed Zhang Shihan and Zhang Li as suspects. Chen Ge nodded. "What did the rumor say?"
"Initially, those jerks would at least gossip behind my sister's back then, but then they came to confront my sister, saying the girl committed suicide because her depression triggered after she had a falling out with my sister. Some even called my sister a murderer, and it was her who hid the body." Zhang Li paused to grab a cigarette from his pocket and light it. After a puff, Zhang Li felt better. "Many of my sister's friends left her, and my sister was at her lowest point of her life then. She even walked around the school personally to find that missing girl, but unfortunately, she couldn't find her."
"No wonder you're so cold to the students at the university." Chen Ge looked at Zhang Li and after a while, he said, "The police once contacted me, saying in that missing girl's case, you and your sister were both serious suspects, and their suspicions were not unfounded. From motive, time, and ability, you two were the biggest suspects."
"We did not kill anymore! The girl's disappearance had nothing to do with us!" Zhang Li was annoyed, but he did not dare show it. He could only chew on the cigarette to vent his anger.
"I know you two didn't kill anyone, and you're not the real killer; you've just been used." When Chen Ge heard the details from Zhang Li, he understood how careful the mastermind was. He not only dealt with all the clues, he even made use of these students and came up with two scapegoats to confuse the police. When Zhang Li heard Chen Ge use a confident tone to say that they were not the killers, the man looked at Chen Ge with surprise, and he realized that perhaps this man was not so bad.
"You took a day off from work today, so you might not have heard the news. The body of the missing girl has been found, and her killer has turned himself in." Chen Ge did not hide anything from the man.
"Who is the killer‽" Zhang Li squeezed the cigarette out and walked to Chen Ge.
"It's the staff from your university who always dresses smartly. I think his name is Liu Zhe."
"Liu Zhe‽" Zhang Li stood there stunned like he could not accept this reality.
"Liu Zhe is just one of the killers. There is still another one that is missing. We only know that he is related to the underground morgue."
"We?" Zhang Li felt Chen Ge's term was curious.
Chen Ge's face turned serious. He pointed at the door. "Do not tell anyone what I'm going to say."
Zhang Li nodded quickly. "I'm the only tenant on this floor, so there's no need to worry about eavesdropping, and I will not tell a third person."
"Okay." Chen Ge told out his phone to show his conversation with Captain Yan, Inspector Lee, and Lee Zheng, then he added, "Actually I'm an informant planted by the police. I've helped them with many cases before."
Zhang Li nodded dumbly. For some reason, he was slowly convinced by Chen Ge.
"The condition of you and your sister is still dangerous." Chen Ge then dropped another bomb. "The other killer is still out there, and things are still dangerous. He is very familiar with Western Jiujiang Medical University and should be hiding in plain sight. Temporarily, we have no idea who he is, and to stop people from panicking, I came to see you privately to find out some information."
"I will tell you everything I know." Zhang Li no longer sounded that guarded. He sat down next to Chen Ge, his attitude completely different from before.
"We need information on the underground morgue, the more detailed the better." Chen Ge voiced his need.
"Didn't the school provide some to the police already when you came last time?" Zhang Li was suspicious, but he still chose to believe Chen Ge. "There is a blueprint for the morgue inside the library's database. If you need it, I can snap a few pictures for you."
"That's a good start." Chen Ge was not satisfied. "You've been working at the school for so many years already, have you discovered anything weird at the underground morgue or run into something not explainable by science?"
