54 -54: Eden House

“Meng Chang’an?

You want to tell me he is the murderer?” Han Fei barely had time to ask more when the bodies of the seven victims were all torn apart, slowly piecing together into that horrific monster.

Without reason, without hope, without good intentions, that monster only wanted to destroy everything in front of it.

“Do these seven victims have to go through that dismemberment-like agony every night?” Han Fei stepped out of the bedroom, glanced at the electronic clock on the wall, it was almost four in the morning, the time the eighth victim had died, “They have been resisting all along…”

The monster was about to appear, Han Fei silently closed the bedroom door.

It was no longer safe in the haunted house now, as the monster would attack everyone indiscriminately.

“The seven victims are separate individuals, but they were artificially pieced together, what should I do to save them?”

Han Fei was also very tired by now, he went to a corner of the living room and chose to exit the game.

Taking off the gaming helmet, Han Fei grabbed the water cup beside the desk and gulped down several mouthfuls.

He sat on the edge of the bed, his gaze fixated on the wall covered in crime scene photos, finally resting on one particular photo.

“Meng Chang’an.”

Sleepiness and exhaustion came like a tide, Han Fei could no longer hold up, and laid down on the bed to sleep.

…

Around 10 a.m., Han Fei was woken up by his phone’s ringtone, he took out his phone and quickly answered, “Li Xue?

What happened?”

“I’m at your doorstep, can we meet now?”

“At the doorstep?” Han Fei hung up the phone, hurriedly got out of bed and dressed, then rushed to open the door, “Why are you here so early in the morning?

Don’t you have work?”

“I am at work right now, let’s talk inside.” Li Xue looked very serious, as if something serious had happened.

Closing the door and drawing the curtains, Li Xue pulled Han Fei to sit in a chair, “Last night, the City Public Security Bureau rallied its forces, and just before dawn, they launched a carpet search of Xinhu Ecological Nature Protection Forest.

An hour into the search, they found a black wooden house.”

“They found it that easily?”

“They checked the wooden house inside and out, even digging up the surrounding land for technical tests, but found no trace of bodies or human activity.”

“That’s impossible!”

“Don’t panic.” Li Xue signaled Han Fei to keep listening, “The black house seemed deliberately set up to mislead the police.

At my teacher’s insistence, the police expanded the search area.

After four hours, a police officer was quite fortunate to fall into a hollow, and later, near the hollow in the deepest part of the Ecological Protection Forest, they discovered another black wooden house.”

“I remember now, Wei Youfu also entered the Xinhu Ecological Forest twice.

The first time he returned empty-handed, and it was on the second occasion that he found the fragment of that child’s clothing.” Han Fei saw that Li Xue’s expression was not too good, he softly inquired, “Did you find anything in that house?”

“The black house deepest in had no modern communication devices, very primitive.

The house wasn’t big, divided into two levels, ground and underground.

The ground level was very ordinary, similar to a cabin built by a forester, but entering the underground through a secret passage revealed another world.” Li Xue’s complexion grew worse, “The underground level was filled with many household items and children’s clothing, all neatly organized.

However, in that underground level, the police found a separate room dug out, which the murderer called Eden House.”

Eden Garden implies a paradise, a legendary haven created by God, filled with beautiful flowers, trees, and various birds and animals, where people live carefree, harmonious, and fulfilling lives.

“What was in that room?” Han Fei had a bad premonition.

“Even the most experienced detectives, upon entering that room, couldn’t help but start to vomit.” Li Xue took out her mobile phone and showed Han Fei a few pictures, “The room was completely overtaken by blood and bizarre symbols, and multiple children’s bodies were dug up from the soil beneath.

The body that had died the earliest, after forensic identification, was from twenty years ago.”

“Can the identities of those children be determined?”

“All were abandoned infants and orphans, mostly with incomplete information.

However, the identity of the child who died the earliest was indeed discovered.” Li Xue scrolled through her phone and found another picture, “He Yuhuai, who had donated his kidney when he was six years old.

His father was He Shouye, the director of the private Xinhu North Street Welfare Home.”

“Wait, I’m a bit confused.

You mean He Shouye, the director of the Welfare Home that took in homeless people?

Was his own child’s body also in that black room?” Han Fei voiced his confusion.

“As we dug deeper into our investigation, it became clear He Shouye, the director of North Street Welfare Home, was a prime suspect in major crimes.

The black house in the ecological forest was related to him.

His child’s kidney donation was not entirely voluntary but was part of an underhanded deal, and the first money He Shouye made was by trading his own child’s kidney.”

“So, he’s nothing but scum!”

“But he disguised himself very well; almost everyone who met him thought he was a good person.

After his child’s death, he even funded the renovation of the North Street Welfare Home in memory of his child.”

“What a sanctimonious reason.” Han Fei’s eyes filled with coldness, “Where is this man now?

Have you apprehended him?”

Li Xue shook her head, “He Shouye indeed has a major suspect status, but during the deaths of Wei Youfu, Amay, and Gu Ye, he had a concrete alibi.

Moreover, He Shouye died in a car accident a few years after the Human-body Puzzle case.”

“Dead?”

“Yes, Jiang Jiang, He Shouye, those two most directly related to the case, are both dead.

It seems like there’s another hand manipulating everything behind the scenes of the Human-body Puzzle case.” Seeing Han Fei frowning, Li Xue quietly comforted, “Although the murderer hasn’t been caught yet, we have made significant breakthroughs.

We now believe there’s more than one murderer, and the case even involves ‘mutual aiding’ in murder.”

“Mutual aiding in murder?”

“He Shouye and diabolical connections in their deaths to Xiao Qing, Cui Caixi, and Cui Tianci in the Human-body Puzzle case.

The police now have more and more clues, and with technological investigative methods much advanced than before, it won’t be long before this case is solved!” Li Xue’s expression grew more severe, “I came to see you today mainly to warn you about another matter.

That murderer, cunning and vengeful, is likely to target you.”

“Target me?”

“Exactly, the show you’ve recently filmed might also catch his attention; you must be careful about your safety.”

After briefing, Li Xue prepared to leave, but Han Fei stopped her again, “Li Xue, actually, I’ve been thinking a lot at home these past few days.

There’s someone the police should definitely keep an eye on!”

“Who?”

“Meng Chang’an, the youngest son adopted by the old lady in the refrigerator corpse case.” Han Fei opened his computer, “I know his reputation online is very good, and people around him think he’s outstanding, but he could actually be a severely twisted madman.”
