Chapter 54: House of Eden
"Meng Changan? You want to tell me that he is the murderer?" Han Fei didn't have time to ask more questions. The bodies of the seven victims were all torn apart, and they slowly pieced together to form that horrible monster.
Without reason, without hope, without kindness, the monster only wanted to destroy everything in sight.
"Do these seven victims have to go through the same pain of dismemberment every night?" Han Fei left the bedroom. He glanced at the electronic clock on the wall. It was almost four o'clock in the morning, the time when victim No. 8 died. "They have been resisting..."
The monster was about to appear, and Han Fei silently closed the door.
The haunted house is no longer safe. The monster will attack everyone indiscriminately.
"The seven victims were separate individuals, but they were spliced together artificially. What can I do to save them?"
Han Fei was also very tired now. He came to the corner of the living room and chose to quit the game.
Taking off his gaming helmet, Han Fei picked up the water cup on the table and took a few gulps.
He sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the wall covered with murder photos, and finally his eyes stopped on a certain photo.
"Meng Changan."
Sleepiness and fatigue came over Han Fei like a tide, and he could no longer hold on and fell asleep on the bed.
…
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Han Fei was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. He took out his phone, took a look, and quickly answered: "Li Xue? What happened?"
"I'm at your door. Is it convenient for us to meet now?"
"At the door?" Han Fei hung up the phone, got up quickly, put on his clothes, and then hurried over to open the door: "Why are you here so early in the morning? Don't you have to go to work?"
"I'm at work now, let's talk inside." Li Xue's expression was very serious, as if something big had happened.
After closing the door and drawing the curtains, Li Xue pulled Han Fei to sit on the chair. "Last night, the Municipal Public Security Bureau mobilized police forces to conduct a carpet search of the Xinhu Ecological Nature Reserve before daybreak. They found a black wooden house within an hour of the start of the search."
"It was so easy to find?"
"They checked the cabin inside and out, even digging up the surrounding land for technical testing, but found no bodies or signs of human activity."
"impossible!"
"Don't worry." Li Xue signaled Han Fei to continue listening to her. "This black house seems to be deliberately used to interfere with the police's judgment. Under my teacher's insistence, the police expanded the search area. It took four hours . A police officer was very lucky and fell into a depression. Later, the police found another black wooden house next to the depression in the deepest part of the ecological protection forest."
"I remember that Wei Youfu had entered the Xinhu Ecological Forest twice. He returned empty-handed the first time, and only found the child's clothing fragments the second time." Han Fei saw that Li Xue's face was not very good, so he asked in a low voice: "Did you find anything in that house?"
"The black house at the deepest part doesn't have any modern communication tools. It's very primitive. The house is not big, and is divided into two floors, above ground and underground. The above ground floor is very ordinary, like a hut built by a forest ranger for himself, but after entering the underground through the secret passage, you will find another world." Li Xue's face became worse and worse: "There are a lot of daily necessities and children's clothes piled up in the underground floor, and it is also very clean. However, the police found a separate room in the underground floor. The murderer called that room the House of Eden."
The Garden of Eden means paradise. Legend has it that it is a paradise created by God. There are beautiful flowers, trees, and all kinds of birds and beasts. People live a carefree, harmonious and happy life there.
"What's in that room?" Han Fei had an ominous premonition.
"After entering the room, the experienced criminal police officer couldn't help but vomit." Li Xue took out her phone and showed Han Fei a few pictures. "The room was completely filled with blood and strange symbols. Several children's bodies were dug out from the soil under the room . The earliest body died 20 years ago, according to forensic identification."
"Can the identities of those children be found out?"
"They are all abandoned babies and orphans. Most of their information is incomplete, but the identity of the body that died first was found out." Li Xue flipped through her phone and found another picture: "He Yuhuai donated his kidney when he was six years old. His father is the director of the Xinhu North Street Private Welfare Institute - He Shouye."
"Wait, I'm a little confused. Is the director of the welfare home that takes in homeless people He Shouye? The body of his own child is also in this dark room?" Han Fei asked the doubts in his heart.
"As our investigation deepened, He Shouye, the director of the Beijie Welfare Home, was suspected of committing the crime. The black house in the ecological forest was related to him. His child's kidney donation was not completely voluntary, but was a private transaction. The first money He Shouye earned was exchanged for his child's kidney."
"Then he is simply a scumbag!"
"But he disguised himself very well. Almost everyone who met him thought he was a good person. After his child died of illness, he even used his own money to renovate the North Street Welfare House in memory of his child."
"What a high-sounding excuse." Han Fei's eyes were full of coldness: "Where is this person now? Have you controlled him?"
Li Xue shook her head: "He Shouye is indeed a major suspect, but he had a clear alibi when Wei Youfu, Amei and Gu Ye died. In addition, He Shouye died in a car accident a few years after the human body puzzle incident."
"died?"
"Yes, Jiang Jiang and He Shouye, the two people most directly related to the case, are all dead. It seems that there is another hand controlling the whole human puzzle." Li Xue saw Han Fei frowning all the time and comforted him softly: "Although the murderer has not been caught yet, we have made a major breakthrough. We now believe that there is more than one murderer, and there is even a case of 'mutual assistance' killing in this case."
"Mutual assistance in killing?"
"He Shouye has a lot to do with the deaths of Xiao Qing, Cui Caiyi, and Cui Tianci in the human puzzle. Now the police have more and more clues, and the technological investigation methods have improved a lot compared to before. It is estimated that it won't be long before the case will be solved!" Li Xue's expression became more serious: "I came to you today mainly because I have another thing to tell you. The murderer is cruel and cunning, and has a strong desire for revenge. He is likely to find you."
"Find me?"
"Yes, the drama you're filming recently will also attract his attention. You must be careful."
After Li Xue finished her explanation, she was about to leave, but Han Fei stopped her again: "Li Xue, I've actually been thinking about this for a long time at home these past few days. There's someone you police officers must pay special attention to!"
"who?"
"Meng Chang'an, the youngest son adopted by the old lady in the refrigerator corpse case." Han Fei turned on his computer. "I know that he has received very good reviews online, and people around him also think he is excellent, but he may actually be a lunatic with a seriously twisted mind."
