Wang Qi's Missing Person Notice

Wang Qi's Missing Person Notice is notable because it serves the following role: a hidden reward that lets Chen Ge establish his role in capturing Wang Qi to the Ping An victim spirits. Its importance comes from demonstrated use and custody rather than an assumed artifact rank.

History

The black phone awards the notice after Chen reaches a high completion rate in Murder by Midnight. Its importance is not the printed missing-person information alone: presenting it lets the murdered Ping An family understand that Chen has identified and helped capture Wang Qi. (Chapters 25–26, 33–34)

Abilities and properties

  • Communicates proof of Wang Qi’s capture to the victim spirits and allows a hostile encounter to become an alliance. (Chapters 25–34)
  • Functions as a cursed hidden item tied to one solved scenario rather than a universal warrant or tracking spell.
  • No independent offensive ability, recharge cycle, or later transformation is stated.

Ownership and custody

The notice is awarded directly to Chen Ge and remains among the House of Horrors’ supernatural items after its decisive use with Yin Xiaoxiao’s family. (Chapters 25–34, 77, 92)
