Chapter 0246 – Smoke Scar
Number ten could be an acquaintance who helped Chen Ge, or he could be a psychopath in disguise, and the only way to find the answer was for him to make a personal trip to the Linjiang Blood Defense Station.
After making sure that there was nothing else missing, Chen Ge walked out of the room, walked through the long hallway, and returned to the elevator entrance.
”There must be other secrets hidden behind those closed security doors, perhaps the secret passageway that the association members left is hidden within.” Chen Ge somewhat regretted that he hadn’t brought his skull-crushing hammer over, otherwise, he would have hammered all the room doors open to take a look, “Learn from this lesson, and pay more attention next time.”
Entering the elevator, Chen Ge watched the numbers slowly change as his nerves finally relaxed, he strapped the killing knife to his calf, removed the skull crushing doctor mask and took a deep breath.
The elevator opened on the first floor, and before Chen Ge could walk out, he heard someone outside talking in a harsh voice.
”How did he get in here? I’m asking you how he got in!”
”Supervisor Huang, I really don’t know why he appeared in a residential building.”
”Murderers are blending in! You still don’t know?”
”I’m sorry.”
”I’m paying you to protect the owners! Not to hear you apologize! How many things have gone wrong in the past few days? Do the math yourself!”
Chen Ge glanced outside the elevator, and Zhu Xiu, who he had thrown in the corner, was gone.
”Where is everyone?” Chen Ge looked into the distance, Gu Feiyu was wearing a security uniform, grasping his cell phone and keeping his head down.
Opposite him stood a young man who looked very civilized, but was actually very short-tempered.
”Xiao Gu? What’s going on?” Chen Ge walked over.
”Who are you?” The middle-aged man looked at Chen Ge, “Eyesore, you’re not a resident of our place either, are you?”
He finished and gave Gu Feiyu a hard stare, “Is he your friend?”
The neighborhood did not allow strangers to enter or leave after midnight, there were clear rules, Gu Feiyu knew he had made another mistake, he removed his hat and nodded.
”Supervisor Huang.” A siren sounded outside the building at this time, and a middle-aged man in civilian clothes walked in, “That one is my friend.”
Seeing this person come in, Chen Ge was surprised, “Team Li?”
”You came out of the police station and I realized that you were not quite right, as a result, I didn’t expect that your kid was really capable, this guy was hidden so covertly that he could be pulled out.” Li team pointed to the door of the third building, the sanity of Zhu Xiu lying on the ground on his side.
”You’ve been following me since I came out of the police station?” Chen Ge didn’t notice it in the slightest, he was a bit scared now that he thought about it.
”I’ve been a police officer for almost twenty years, it would be strange if I was discovered by an unsuspecting you.” Team Li added to Supervisor Huang: “You don’t have to blame this young man, he did a good job, the culprit this time was very cunning and possessed a strong sense of counter-surveillance, even our plainclothesmen missed once, it’s normal that he didn’t notice.”
”Plainclothes all missed?” Supervisor Huang looked at Chen Ge and hurriedly apologized, changing his face like turning over a book, “Then this one is also a police officer, right? Tough luck, comrade cop.”
Chen Ge ignored him and looked at Team Li somewhat sheepishly, “You’ve been guarding the outside of the building?”
”Nonsense, I first squatted you for an hour and a half in front of the New Century Paradise, then followed you to Fang Hua Yuan neighborhood, and have been guarding outside the building until now.” Team Li moved his arms, “When I saw you find the suspect just now, I was ready to come over, but who knew that your kid took the elevator up again.”
”Uncle Li, it’s dangerous for you to do so.”
”If it wasn’t for the fear of you doing something stupid on impulse, do you think I would have the leisure to care about you?” Team Li lowered his voice and dragged Chen Ge to the side: “Zhu Xiu seems to have been stimulated by something, was he like this when you saw him?”
Team Li’s tone was a bit strange, Chen Ge looked at Team Li’s expression and snapped out of it, biting out, “He was already like this when I saw him, the reason why I put him in the hallway and went back was to go upstairs to find out why.”
”En.” Team Lee nodded, “This is very fishy.”
Not long after Zhu Xiu was sent to the police car, an ambulance also drove over and similarly stopped outside building number three.
Several people in the room looked at each other.
”Which one of you called the emergency?”
No one acknowledged it, and after a while, the numbers on the elevator display suddenly began to change, finally stopping at the thirteenth floor.
”The occupants of the building rarely use the elevator at night, something should have happened.” Supervisor Huang and Gu Feiyu ran to the elevator door at the same time, and before long, the elevator doors opened towards both sides, and a middle-aged man carrying an old granny hurriedly ran out.
”Doctor! Doctor!”
The middle-aged man’s mother seemed to have fainted due to a sudden illness, and Chen Ge didn’t care at first, but when he looked at the old granny’s face, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
This old granny was the old man who was preparing to take the elevator down on the thirteenth floor!
At that time, she looked into the elevator and muttered – why are there so many people doing the elevator at night, it’s packed.
The old man’s dress was completely different from what Chen Ge had seen, and he wasn’t sure if the one going downstairs was an old man, or the old man’s spirit.
”Not leaving in the elevator, her old man should be able to carry through this.”
When the ambulance left, it was time for Chen Ge to leave, but he had one more thing to do before he left.
”Xiao Gu, how much do they earn in a month when you work as a night shift security guard?”
”A little over three thousand.”
”I see that you’re quite bold and have a good personality, if you don’t want to work as a security guard in the future, or if you don’t have a place to go, you can come to New Century Paradise in the western suburbs and look for me.” Chen Ge raised his cell phone, “Contact me by phone when the time comes.”
Gu Feiyu showed an obvious heartbeat this time, “Okay.”
After saying hello to Team Li, Chen Ge rushed back to New Century Paradise and only completely relaxed after returning to his own haunted house.
”It’s still comfortable here.”
He recorded the things he needed to pay attention to, memorized them again, and then burned them all.
”Tomorrow is another new start, when business is over, if you have time, you can take advantage of the dawn to visit the Linjiang Blood Defense Station.”
It was already very late now, Chen Ge added a handful of cat food to the white cat and fell back to sleep, but who knew that before he could lie down for long, his cell phone rang again.
”Is it Team Li?” Chen Ge thought it was Zhu Xiu who had another problem, and only after he answered the phone did he realize that it was Team Yan calling.
”Excuse me, Chen Ge, we have something we want to confirm with you.”
Team Yan spoke politely, so Chen Ge couldn’t refuse: “Just say something, but it’s best to be quick.”
”I’ve sent you the picture, you can take a look, we found this scene when we checked the surveillance around Haiming Apartment.”
The reception was successful, Chen Ge clicked on the picture and took a look, it was a picture taken from the surveillance and made clear.
There was a man in a sweater in the picture, he was holding a cell phone in his right hand as if he was talking to someone, and in his left hand he was holding a flyer for Chen Ge’s haunted house, and on the back of his hand, he could vaguely see smoke scars and tiny wounds.
”Do you recognize the man in the picture?”
