Chapter 0065 – Captain Yan
”I didn’t do anything! You wait, I’ll go down right away.”
Chen Ge leaned on the window and looked out, the entrance of the haunted house was indeed surrounded by a large group of people, divided into three or four layers inside and outside, and the number of people was still increasing.
”Boss, why don’t you turn yourself in, I feel like this has gotten too big.”
”Turn yourself in, my ass! Wait for me down there.” Hanging up the phone, Chen Ge hurriedly put on his coat, wiped his face and ran to the door of the haunted house.
Lifting up the opaque curtains, he pushed open the protective bar.
The sun shone on his body, and when Chen Ge appeared, the haunted crowd slowly quieted down.
The tourists on the periphery all looked at Chen Ge, their gazes were mixed with curiosity, and there was also a faint hint of disappointment, this man who was being closely squatted by the police was a little too ordinary looking.
It was also the first time that Chen Ge was surrounded by so many people, the atmosphere was awkward, he felt that he should say something: “Can I ask, what is the purpose of your visit?”
”You are Chen Ge?” The police officer in the lead was holding a box, he was slightly chubby, with sharp eyes and a mature temperament, but because he had a baby face, he gave people an inexplicable sense of joy.
”Yes.”
”Can you let me see your ID card?”
Chen Ge rummaged around for half a day and took out his ID card and handed it to the other party, during this time he also secretly observed the police officer in front of him, the uniform on this police officer was not quite the same as that of Team Li and the others.
”Okay, identity confirmed.” A smile appeared on the face of the slightly fat policeman, he waved towards the reporter next to him, opened the box in his hand, and said in very official words, “In the Ping An apartment extermination case, comrade Chen Ge provided key clues, according to the provisional regulations of Jiujiang City on the awarding of honorary medals to the special contribution of the security personnel and law and order activists, the Municipal Public Security Bureau has exceptionally awarded comrade Chen Ge with the third class law and order honorary medals! I hope that Comrade Chen Ge will cherish the honor and make new achievements for maintaining social stability and promoting social harmony!”
This series of words to Chen Ge were dumbfounded, things transformed a little fast, he received the box, the sleepiness has not completely dissipated, looking at the medals in the box, there is only one thought in his mind – where is the prize money?
The slightly chubby policeman stood next to Chen Ge and praised Chen Ge severely to the reporters taking pictures around him, the whole process lasted for fifteen minutes before it ended.
The crowd dispersed, and after the reporters left, Chen Ge quietly found the fat policeman: “Older brother, what’s your name?”
”My surname is Yan, you can call me Team Yan, I’m classmates with Old Li from the Xicheng Police Station, he mentioned you to me.” Team Yan looked very kind and looked at Chen Ge with a hint of appreciation in his gaze, “You handled the Ping An Apartment extermination case in the right way, and in the later process of being hunted by the suspect, your various reactions and insights also surprised me and Old Li.”
Being praised by Team Yan, Chen Ge was embarrassed to inquire about the bounty, “This is at best some small intelligence on my part, without you guys, I probably wouldn’t have been able to escape from Ping An Apartment, the people’s police are for the people, that’s true.”
After the awkward business mutual blowout, Yan team found Chen Ge was still dead set on not leaving by the police car, with a slight smile, he already understood the reason for this, “Xiao Chen, the bounty for the extermination case and the third class honorary medal of law and order bonus need you to take the documents and go to the city bureau to collect them in person, because of the case spanning over a large amount of time, so it has dragged on for a longer period of time, I hope you’ll forgive me.”
”It’s fine, it’s fine.” After knowing that he could go collect the bounty, Chen Ge’s hanging heart finally dropped back into his stomach.
”I came here early today to simply express my gratitude to you, every unsolved case is a stone that presses on the heart of a police officer, and the case file will be handed down from master to apprentice and passed on all the time. I was involved in this case four years ago, it’s sort of a knot in my heart.” Team Yan’s smile was from the bottom of his heart, “By the way, that old man from the Peaceful Apartment also wants to meet you. The old man is paralyzed in a wheelchair, the lower half of his body can’t move, he can’t speak, but his mind isn’t confused. After he realized that you saved him and cracked the case from a few years ago, he wanted to thank you in person.”
”En.”
The extermination case was just a black cell phone mission in Chen Ge’s opinion, but it meant a lot to the victim’s family.
”You’d better go over there as soon as possible, the old man is in the hospital, probably because he has too many emotional ups and downs, or the obsession that was supporting him has dissipated, in short, his current situation is not too optimistic.” After saying this, Team Yan got into the car.
”Alright, I will go over when I have time today.” Chen Ge looked at the somewhat special uniform on this person and always felt that this Yan team’s identity was not ordinary.
Only after the police car left did Xu Wan and the staff of the paradise gather around.
”Boss, are you going to be on TV again!”
”Yes, there’s a medal of honor.”
After casually dealing with a few sentences, Chen Ge found Uncle Xu in the crowd, then dragged him to the corner.
”Uncle, how’s that matter of renting the parking lot under the land I asked you about earlier? The funds will be in place soon!”
As soon as he heard that Chen Ge wanted to rent the parking lot, Uncle Xu immediately frowned: “It’s not a matter of funds, I can’t just watch you jump into the fire pit, now that the overall number of visitors to the park is declining, everyone is thinking of a way back, can’t you be a bit more sensible?”
”I’m sensible, I know what I’m doing.” Chen Ge’s attitude was firm, the House of Horrors might be hiding the key clues to his parents’ disappearance, and only by continuing to evolve would he be qualified and capable of accessing that level of things.
”Really not listening to advice.” Uncle Xu spoke for half a day, but Chen Ge did not budge at all, he had no choice but to nod his head, “You come with me, because of the matter of the wanted criminals mixing into the paradise, Mr. Luo is also here, so you can go and question him personally.”
”Director Luo is also here?” Chen Ge had heard his parents mention him a long time ago, Mr. Luo was the real helmsman of New Century Paradise.
”What did you expect? The city precinct’s criminal investigation team is staking out the perimeter of the Paradise, and will definitely notify the management and ask for full cooperation, Director Luo has been living in the Paradise for the past few days.” Uncle Xu brought Chen Ge to an office building in the northernmost part of the paradise, which was the highest building in the New Century Paradise except for the Ferris wheel, “Don’t talk nonsense when you see Mr. Luo later, less talk is less wrong, no talk is not bad, understand?”
Chen Ge followed Uncle Xu on the elevator to the top floor of the office building, and the two stopped at a certain office door.
The door to the room was unlocked, Uncle Xu knocked on the door panel, and soon a man in his fifties walked out from the inner room.
He wasn’t too tall, his hair was a mixture of black and white, his features looked soft, the suit on his body wasn’t a name brand, but it was clean and neat, without a single crease on the edges.
”This is Mr. Luo? It doesn’t seem quite the same as in the photo.” In Chen Ge’s opinion, the man in front of him looked more like a nearly retired people’s teacher.
