Chapter 0025 – Scene Opening
Several used cotton swabs were placed on the wooden table, along with a bottle of mineral water and an unopened loaf of bread.
The young policeman sitting at the other end of the table put down his recorder, took out his cell phone, and opened a certain folder, “Can you see if it’s this guy?”
Chen Ge saw a glance at the photo of several men hooking up and walking out of the restaurant, the tallest of which had a peony tattooed on the back of his hand.
”Yes, that’s him!”
”When peonies bloom, riches come. This man is called Zhang Peng, a gambler who owes hundreds of thousands of dollars to loan sharks and is suspected of burglary and robbery.” The policeman continued to flip back the photos, “Look at this one again.”
The photo in the back was intercepted from a certain surveillance video, and only after zooming in multiple times did Chen Ge see clearly that there was a panicked fat man sitting in the main driver’s seat of the van, and his looks were eight or nine percent similar to the short, fat man in the apartment building.
”Looks familiar.”
”Based on your description, we compared the public security database, the driver in the picture is called Feng Chunlei, a foreigner from a foreign province, drunk driving and hit-and-run with an extremely bad complex.” The young policeman put away his cell phone, organizing the information in his hands, “My side of the statement has been done, but you can’t go for the time being, later the people from the criminal investigation team of the city precinct are going to come over to do a more detailed interrogation on you, I hope that you can cooperate with the investigation of the case, after all, you’re the only eyewitness.”
”I should.” Chen Ge sat on the bed, and only now did his mood slowly calm down.
A few hours ago, the Xicheng Police Station received a report that a murder was suspected to have occurred in Ping An Apartment in the western suburb, the police immediately took action and met Chen Ge on the highway near Ping An Apartment, after conducting a basic interrogation, the Xicheng Police Station split into two teams.
One team followed Chen Ge to the wooden house in the back of the mountain to hunt down Wang Qi; the other team entered the woods to search for the tenants of Ping An Apartment.
Through the dense forest, when Chen Ge came to the wooden house again, only a streak of blood on the ground, but Wang Qi disappeared.
It was only after the police of Xicheng Police Station found fresh bloodstains and a large amount of the dead man’s clothes in the wooden house that they finally believed Chen Ge’s words, and immediately asked for help from the city precinct, mobilizing more police forces to close the mountain for searching all night long.
As a key witness, Chen Ge was closely protected, and originally the police decided to send him directly to the precinct, but Chen Ge, in order to complete the task set out by the black cell phone, he told the police that there were more important clues hidden in the Ping An Apartment building, and strongly requested to make a statement right there in the Ping An Apartment.
Then there was the scene above, under the protection of two police officers inside and outside the door, Chen Ge lay peacefully in the middle of the murder house, waiting for the mission time to pass.
By three o’clock in the morning, the door of the room was pushed open, and a middle-aged policeman in his forties walked in, he took off his police cap, grabbed the mineral water on the table and poured a few mouthfuls of it.
”Uncle San Bao, this water is mine.” Chen Ge looked at the man who came in and climbed up from the bed.
The full name of the man who came in was Li Sanbao, the deputy director of the Xicheng Police Station, and coincidentally, he was the one who was responsible for investigating the disappearance of Chen Ge’s parents in the first place. At that time, Chen Ge was desperate and heartbroken, thanks to this uncle running around and helping Chen Ge a lot.
”You guy, is San Bao also something you can call? How many times have I said, either call me Director Li or Captain Li.” Li Sanbao put down his water bottle with a smile on his face that he couldn’t hide, “Forget it, seeing as you’ve made a big achievement this time, I’ll let you off the hook.”
”The person was captured?” Chen Ge stood up at once.
”Those guys from the CID team are not vegetarians, not only did they catch Wang Qi, several other tenants in the apartment building were also caught one after another, and now there is only one Zhang Peng who has not been brought to justice.”
”Great!”
”Wang Qi’s fiancée’s body has also been found and is being handed over to the forensic pathologist to deal with, what do you want to ask hurry up and ask, a moment later I have to go busy with other things.” Team Li came over just to give Chen Ge a piece of mind.
”Zhang Peng, Feng Chunlei are fugitives, are the remaining two also fugitives?” Chen Ge was not polite and directly asked the doubts in his mind.
”The woman is Zhang Peng’s wife, at most it is a harboring crime. The landlord’s situation is a bit complicated, he himself is just a caretaker, but he saw the money, so he teamed up with the rest of the people to take over the old man’s apartment, but he hasn’t mistreated the old man, at least we didn’t see any obvious injuries on the old man’s body.” Team Lee put on his police cap, “Why are you asking this?”
”It’s nothing.” Chen Ge followed Heshan’s example and revealed a naive smile, “Defying the odds and assisting the police in apprehending the fugitive suspect, I heard that there seems to be a bounty.”
”The brocade flag will be sent home to you when the case is over, see you later.”
”Crap, hey!”
Seeing Chen Ge suffer a defeat, the young policeman next to him laughed: “Team Li is teasing you, if Wang Qi is really the murderer of the extermination case five years ago, then the bounty you can get should be above thirty thousand dollars, except that this money is spent by the local financial department. In addition, the old man in the apartment building had issued a bounty in his personal name, anyone who can provide key clues will be rewarded five thousand dollars.”
”There really is a bounty?” Chen Ge’s mouth curled up when he heard that there was a cash reward, “I just casually asked, in fact, my original intention of seeing justice is not for the money, to be able to make my own contribution to the harmonious and stable development of our city is the responsibility that every citizen should fulfill.”
The young policeman laughed and did not refute, dutifully guarding the door of the room.
Later Chen Ge accepted the interrogation of the city branch of the Criminal Investigation Team, after making two sets of statements, the Xicheng police station was going to send him home, but he in order to complete the task to find a variety of reasons, dead in the murder house does not go, a moment to go to the 408 room to get back to their own backpacks, and a moment to take the police to the third floor to see the second scene of the murder. Tossed until six o’clock in the morning, after the black cell phone prompted the completion of the trial task, he sat on the police car to leave.
Looking at the rapidly receding scenery on both sides, Chen Ge didn’t have any drowsiness as he secretly took out his black cell phone and began to check the mission rewards.
”Player arrives at the mission site within the specified time, successfully identifies the murderer, and survives until dawn, Midnight Escape Trial Mission completed! The new horror scene Midnight Escape has been unlocked, players can freely manipulate all the organs within this scene in the scene interface!”
”The completion degree of the trial mission exceeds 90%, obtaining the hidden props of this mission – Wang Qi’s missing person notice.”
”Wang Qi’s Seeker’s Notice (Resentment Value Eleven): Every day I search for the person I killed, I killed her over and over again, but she always seems to find me. Whenever dawn breaks and I open my eyes, something of hers always appears in my bed. I had obviously built her into the wall, but she seemed to burrow into my heart ……”
