Chapter 388 - The Three Actors (1/2)

Translator: Lonelytree  Editor: Millman97

The man that Liu Xianxian had a crush on was very alert. Thankfully, this was not the first time Chen Ge had needed to tail someone, and it was due to his experience that he was not exposed. His apartment is in Fang Hwa? This place is not that far from Jiujiang Medical University, and the bus comes pretty often. In that case, why did he ask for a staff residence at the school?

Chen Ge did not dare get too close. He watched as the man entered the third building. It’s the third building again. This cannot be a coincidence.

After enough time had passed, Chen Ge also entered the building. He was familiar with the building’s layout. He pretended to be a tenant and very naturally head for the safety door. He was halfway through and realized that there was no one waiting for the elevator.

The man didn’t take the elevator? Chen Ge held his breath as he entered the safety passage. There were no footsteps echoing down the stairs either. Right then, there was the sound of door opening on the first floor.

He’s living on the first floor itself. Chen Ge stood in the half-open door and leaned out to look down the corridor.

Room 3004.

He remembered the room number before slinking over it to stick his ear to the door.

The man’s voice on the phone filtered out from inside the room. “Brother-in-law? The school has not been safe recently. Things keep happening at night. Do you mind if I stay at your place for a while? Don’t worry, I will not mess up the place. I will not touch a thing of yours or sister’s. I know how important this place is to you. I know, I understand. I promise to not enter your study! Will not touch anything!”

After the call ended, the man’s tone changed immediately. “Do you really think I want to be here? Such a pretender. Do you think I really want your charity‽”

Outside the room, one could hear the man rummaging through the room. He appeared mature and confident, but a completely different soul was occupying his body. After a bit more grumbling, the man continued to ransack the room. The sound of doors and drawers being pulled open echoed endlessly.

“That room has been rearranged, so the layout is different from before. No one should be able to tell the difference. I need to check it again.” The man moved inside the room, and he had no idea his monologue was audible to Chen Ge.

One of the rooms has been rearranged? Why would he conduct an investigation at a time like this?

The man’s actions were weird. Chen Ge initially thought that he was a weirdo and did not relate him to the murder, but with every sentence that escaped the man’s lips, his suspicion of the man continued to grow.

After a few more minutes, the man seemed to have gotten all the necessary tools and entered the room. Due to the distance, Chen Ge could not hear anything. He remembered the room number and exited the building to walk to the window. He squatted down and crawled to the window of room 3004. Chen Ge glanced into the room. The man had a toolbox in his hands, and the look on his face as he stared at the bed in the room was quite scary.

“When I first stepped into this room, I felt it was cold. Even after so many years, I still cannot forget about it.” When the man focused on the bed, Chen Ge clicked open the camera on his phone and silently recorded the layout of the room. The room had many partitions, making it feel smaller and more cramped than it was.

There is no table or bookshelf, and the mattress is also different from the one in Ma Yin’s video, but the location of the bed hasn’t changed. Peeking through this window allows me to have a clear view of stuff under the bed.

The furniture inside the room had been changed, and the interior had been transformed due to the partitions. On first glance, it was indeed different from the room in Ma Yin’s video. However, he missed a very important element—the window.

The man had not seen Ma Yin’s video. He only knew that Ma Yin had captured a video from inside the room, but he had no idea about its exact content. Based on the layout of the room and the man’s words, Chen Ge was fifty percent certain that this man, who Liu Xianxian had a crush on, was related to Ma Yin’s sister’s disappearance. His hand went to the hammer inside the backpack, and he was itching for action.
