Chapter 979 - My Name Your Name (1/2)

“Of course, I understand.” Chen Ge was appreciative of the law enforcement at Jiujiang. The police might not represent justice one hundred percent, but Chen Ge knew that at least Captain Yan and Inspector Lee had been trying their best to uphold the principle of justice, and they had lent Chen Ge a lot of help in the past.

“You say that, but you will repeat the same mistake next time.” Lee Zheng shook his head helplessly. He was sincerely trying to persuade Chen Ge. Compared to him, who had the support from his family and his other colleagues, all Chen Ge had was himself.

“Let’s not talk about that anymore. Brother Zheng, how did you find the body?”

“Based on what you told us, the investigation was not that difficult to do. There was no tenant living on the twelfth floor, but the monthly electric bill is suspiciously high. We naturally targeted this place. After opening the door, as expected, we found the dead body inside the freezer.”

“Then, has the culprit been captured?”

“The suspect should be the tenant. The victim is the tenant’s girlfriend, who suffered from anorexia. We’ve already got news on the tenant’s whereabouts and have sent people after him. If there’s no accident, we should be able to capture him and bring him to the station by tonight.” The police of Jiujiang was efficient in their work. In a way, that had to do with Chen Ge as well.

“That would be great. At least I will be able to give her some justice.”

“Justice?”

“Can I go in to take a look? This is probably not the first crime scene, so you don’t need to be afraid of me messing up the evidence.”

After he got the permission from Lee Zheng, Chen Ge entered the room. The room was not that big, and the girl’s last moments were spent in this dingy place. Walking past the living room, Chen Ge entered the kitchen, and he saw the fridge and the freezer that were placed next to each other. He was reminded of the words that the girl had told him that night, and his heart felt sad and uncomfortable.

“The person that hurt you will be punished by law soon. He will not be able to escape.”

Once Chen Ge said that, there was a light knocking inside the room. Lee Zheng turned to look behind him subconsciously, but with the help from the Ghost Ear, Chen Ge immediately turned to the freezer. Opening the lid, Chen Ge saw a thin girl curl inside the shadows of the freezer. She hugged her shoulders with both hands. Her head was slightly lifted upward, and her pale face was stained with tear. The sun hit her face, and her body turned fuzzy. But she did not seem to mind it. She appeared to want to spend the last moment of her ‘life’ bathing in the sunlight.

“Don’t cry. You deserve a better life.” Chen Ge reached into the freezer, wanting to help her wipe away her tears, but he could not touch anything. The sun shone between them like a gap that could not be crossed no matter what.

“Everything is fine now. I will take you home.” Before the girl dissolved in the sun, Chen Ge took out the comic and pulled her into it. Looking at the empty freezer, Chen Ge stood there quietly for a while.

“What are you looking at? The dead body was discovered inside there, but everything has already been moved away.” Lee Zheng walked over.

“It’s nothing.” Chen Ge picked up his backpack and waved at Lee Zheng, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now.”

“Do you think I called you here for a chat! Now, tell me in detail what you came here to do last night! After leaving your statement, when I decide that there is nothing else, you can go back and wait for the next summon!”
