Chapter 0046 – Suspect
Staring at the man in the surveillance, Chen Ge linked all of his perverse behavior together and slowly clenched his fingers.
Without saying a word, he stood directly in the Comprehensive Management Office, took out his cell phone and dialed Team Li’s number at the Xicheng Police Station.
”Uncle Sanbao, I want to call the police!”
”First, the police call is 110, it’s useless for you to call me; second, call me Director Li.” The phone was picked up after two rings, and Team Li’s hoarse voice came from the other side of the microphone.
”I found the last person who escaped from Ping An Apartment! He came to New Century Paradise!”
”Are you sure?” Upon hearing this, Team Lee’s voice changed.
”It must be him, you guys mustn’t drive a police car over here to avoid spooking him and alerting him.”
”Be there in fifteen minutes!”
The phone hung up, Chen Ge held the cell phone, his eyes still gazing at the surveillance screen.
The staff next to him sensed the problem and hurriedly called Uncle Xu.
”What’s going on?” Not a moment later, Uncle Xu walked in with a water bottle, “The meal isn’t allowed to be eaten properly either, Little Chen, what are you doing here if you don’t go back to your haunted house?”
He also walked to the side of the monitor, and seeing that Chen was holding a cell phone in his hand, he tentatively asked, “Who were you just talking to on the phone?”
”The police.”
Chen Ge didn’t turn around, his eyes moving between the various surveillance screens, “It’s estimated that they’ll be here in fifteen minutes.”
”The police? Why didn’t you discuss such a big deal with me!” Uncle Xu’s tone rose violently, “The paradise has a perfect program for dealing with natural disasters and vicious incidents ……”
”Uncle Xu.” Chen Ge turned around and interrupted Uncle Xu’s words, his eyes were calm, and his pupils had a hint of an indescribable} feeling, “Someone is trying to kill me!”
As soon as he said this, the integrated control room instantly quieted down, and all the employees looked in the direction he was in.
”Chen Ge, you’ve been staying in the haunted house all this time and are mentally stimulated by something, right?” Uncle Xu didn’t even call Xiao Chen anymore and called him by his name: “What are you talking nonsense in broad daylight!”
”I assisted the police in solving the Ping An Apartment extermination case from five years ago, but the murderer involved in the extermination case from five years ago, there is another one still absconding.”
When Chen Ge said this, Uncle Xu had already understood, “You said that person mixed into the paradise? Preparing to take revenge on you?”
”I had thought that he would flee far away from other provinces and cities, but who knew that he would be bold enough to do this.” Chen Ge pointed at the man in the surveillance screen, “This tourist behaves oddly, wearing long sleeves and a duck-tongued cap, covering his face tightly, the weather isn’t too cold, but his hands are all stretched out in his pockets, even when he smokes or drinks, he has only ever used his right hand, and his left hand has never stretched out of his pocket.”
”What can this mean? Maybe it’s just someone’s personal fetish.” Uncle Xu put down the water bottle and closed the door to the General Management Room.
”The suspect who absconded is called Zhang Peng, his height and build are almost identical to the man in the surveillance, and the most crucial thing is that Zhang Peng has a peony tattooed on the back of his left hand.”
”Peony?”
”Peonies blossom, wealth comes to the man, that man is an outlaw gambler who lost everything.”
”You mean he was afraid of exposing the tattoo, so he kept his left hand in his pocket?” Uncle Xu also got nervous, “Is it possible that he’s just a skin patient?”
”I have other evidence.” Chen Ge switched the surveillance screen, “After he entered the park, he only played the Ferris wheel, and it was repeated three times, do you know what that means?”
”What can this mean?” Uncle Xu was a bit unable to keep up with Chen Ge.
”The Ferris wheel is the highest point of the entire park’s view, he’s looking down on the park and planning an escape route for himself.” Chen Ge slowed down the surveillance, “When Xu Wan and I left the House of Horrors to go to the cafeteria, we found him sneaking close to the House of Horrors. He spent the entire morning wandering around the haunted house but didn’t come over, waiting until the guards left before approaching, this is not something a normal tourist would do at all.”
”That’s right.” Uncle Xu nodded, feeling that what Chen Ge said made sense: “Then why did he approach the haunted house when no one was around?”
Chen Ge tapped his fingers on the desktop, “Thinking differently, if I wanted to kill a haunted house owner in the safest way, I would definitely hide in the middle of the haunted house ahead of time, and when the haunted house was closed for props maintenance, I would surprise him and give him a fatal blow. The haunted house is easy to hide in a complicated environment, and it’s also convenient to hide the body after killing, as long as you deal with the bloodstains, when the body is found, it’s probably the next day.”
Uncle Xu’s back was chilled by Chen Ge’s words, and a rough scene had already emerged in his mind, “This is quite scary.”
”It’s not quite scary, but it’s almost as if this incident would have happened!” Chen Ge retracted his gaze, his clenched fists slowly unclenching, “Luckily, he was too impatient, and also luckily, I’ve encountered a lot of strange and bizarre things lately, and my nerves have been kept on high alert, which is why I found him.”
”So where is he now? Do you need me to evacuate the tourists?” Uncle Xu also realized the seriousness of the matter.
”He left the park after I spotted him, I hadn’t looked at the surveillance at the time and couldn’t be sure of my guess, so I didn’t stop him.”
”You did a good job, if that suspect had gone crazy in Paradise, I’m afraid it would have caused a lot of chaos.” Uncle Xu took a sip of water and said to the staff next to him, “The police will come over later, so everyone cooperate.”
Ten minutes later, the door to the room in the comprehensive management room was pushed open, and three men in plain clothes entered the room, the leader carrying a laptop was none other than Li Sanbao, “Where’s Chen Ge? Let me see the surveillance video you have here.”
With the help of the staff, Team Li compared the man in the surveillance with the photo in the public security database, and eventually determined that both were the same person!
”You kid got credit again.” Team Li hammered Chen Ge’s shoulder, took out his cell phone and contacted the city precinct to report on the situation here, and both sides communicated and decided to split into two, with one part of the team secretly tracking down the man, and the other part of the team laying down controls around the New Century Paradise.
”Zhang Peng this person is very dangerous, you must be careful when you are targeted by him, the probability of him coming back is very high, I suggest that you do not stay in the haunted house for the time being.”
After Team Li finished speaking, the entire staff of the Integrated Management Office was a bit uneasy, on the contrary, Chen Ge, who was the person in question, was very calm: “I’m not here, Xiaowan can’t maintain the haunted house’s normal business on her own, once the haunted house closes down, Zhang Peng will surely discover the anomaly, and he’s so cunning that he probably won’t fall for the bait.”
”Then what you mean is that you are prepared to act as bait in the haunted house yourself?” Team Li frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit risky.
”Don’t worry, as long as he dares to enter my haunted house, I will be able to make him have no return.”
