Chapter 296 - You Want to Scare Me? (1/2)

If it was just a suicide, it would not have been so scary, but the dead man’s detached arm still had not been found. No one dared move in—what if an arm poked out at them when they were cleaning the place?

“I still want to take a look,” Chen Ge said calmly, like this was nothing serious to him.

“Okay.” There was a patch on the back of the man’s shirt that was wet, drenched by cold sweat. “Actually this place is not bad. The same model at Electrical Plant’s residence is four times the price.”

After the door opened, a weird stench flew out—it smelled like mildew. The man tried the light in the living room, but perhaps because it had not been used for a long time, he had to work for it for some time before the light came on. The light banished the darkness and seeped into the room. Chen Ge walked into the room. He did not want to do anything extra; his purpose was to look for that drawer.

The black phone provided a description of the drawer. It sounds like it belongs to the desk in the bedroom.

Before the man standing at the door could stop him, Chen Ge had already entered the bedroom. However, he searched both bedrooms, but there was no table, only a large dresser.

The description is different to what’s described by the phone.

Chen Ge walked out from the bedroom and glanced at the agent with confusion. “Brother, are you sure this is Room 304?”

“That is what it says on the key; it can’t be mistaken.” The man showed Chen Ge the key. There was no desk in the bedroom, but there were tables in the other areas of the place. It’ll take time for me to go through them. Will I really need to stay here tonight?

“What do you think of the room? We can still discuss the price.” The man was afraid; he stood at the door and did not dare enter.

“I like this room a lot. Can you let me stay here for a night?” Chen Ge reached into his backpack to search for something.

“A stayover? We don’t provide that service. If you’re not satisfied, how about we look at the room next door?”

“There’s no need; I want this one.” Chen Ge interrupted the man. He took out his ID and 500 from his bag. “500 for one night, and this is my ID. I will not destroy anything in the house. If nothing weird happens tonight, I’ll take this place.”

The agent had not seen this kind of customer before. “I’m sorry, but the company has rules that I need to follow.”

“Are many people asking for this place? If you don’t sell it to me, this room will remain vacant for who knows how long.” Chen Ge finally managed to persuade the man to give him the key.

“There are security cameras around the residential area. If you need help, just run out. I’ll be back tomorrow morning at 8 am.”

“You’d better come sooner because I have something else to do in the morning.” Chen Ge sent the agent out. Looking at the key in his hand, he felt something was off. The key itself was old, but the tape was new.

This is weird.

A sound in the kitchen interrupted his thought. He took out the hammer from his backpack. Chen Ge walked into the kitchen and saw that the cleaver on the chopping block had fallen into the sink.

Where was this cleaver earlier?
