Chapter 0256 – The President’s Voice
Seemingly thinking of something good, Lychee licked her lips with some excitement.
She couldn’t wait to walk into the rest room, took out her lipstick from her purse, and was just about to touch up one of her makeup when her cell phone rang.
”Strange number?”
Lychee threw her makeup case into her purse, and there was some anger in her heart, the good atmosphere was ruined by this call.
She tried to adjust her emotions, making her voice and tone seem as normal as possible.
”What a bummer.”
Not bothering to continue putting on her makeup, Lychee picked up the phone and walked towards the door of the recording studio.
”Hello, can I help you?” The sweet voice was heard as if one had taken a sip of chilled fruit wine, refreshing and comforting, with a hint of intoxication.
”Number five is dead, I need you to come to the 24th floor of the third building of Fang Hua Yuan.” The person on the other side of the phone was clearly not confused by Lychee’s voice and went straight to the point.
”Dead?” Lychee’s still bleeding fingers slowly clenched, beads of blood dripping onto the pink phone casing.
”No matter what Five said to you, no matter what the relationship between the two of you really is, get over here right now, right now.”
”Now?” Lychee was a little hesitant, she held her cell phone in one hand and opened the wooden door to the studio with the other, the light shone on the dark hallway, it was very quiet outside.
The door of the room opened a crack, Lychee asked one more question somewhat undeterred, “His death has nothing to do with me, why do you want me to go to the 24th floor?”
”If you don’t want to die, come here immediately!” The voice on the phone traveled outside along the open doorway.
”Fine.” The woman opened the wooden door fully, and she had barely taken half a step out of the studio with her bag on her back when she saw a hideous hammerhead coming at her without warning.
She didn’t even have time to scream before her person was slammed back into the middle of the recording studio.
”Ah!”
The pain was delayed for a few seconds before it was conveyed to her brain, and a belated scream rang out from the recording studio.
Without a word, Chen Ge picked up the cell phone on the ground and placed it to his ear.
”Number twelve?” A cold and hoarse voice came from the other side of the microphone, the other party was using a falsetto voice, but even if it was a falsetto voice it still made Chen Ge feel a hint of familiarity.
Chen Ge wanted to continue eavesdropping on the person’s voice, but the other party quickly realized what was going on and hung up the phone decisively.
”Just heard three words, but this is a major gain.” Standing in the middle of the darkened corridor, Chen Ge held Lychee’s cell phone with a hint of a smile on his face.
All the members in the Weird Tales Association were not clear about each other’s identities, but this person who could call Lychee was different, he seemed to be clear about the relationship between Lychee and Number Five, and had even reminded Lychee to leave at a crucial moment.
”The owner of this voice is most likely the hidden president, controlling the whole situation in secret.”
Chen Ge compared all the voices he had heard in the Weird Tales Association and was certain that the owner of this voice was not the man sitting first on the left side of the dining table, nor was it Number Five or Number Ten.
”Narrow it down further, catch him, and the Weird Tales Association should be a piece of cake.”
Putting Lychee’s cell phone on the seat, Chen Ge guarded the doorway and dialed Team Yan’s number.
Team Yan and the others were much faster than the Xicheng Police Station, and it only took ten minutes for a police car to arrive.
Chen Ge put away the skull crushing hammer and suggested that the police search the place where Lychee lived, then told the other party about the murder of her husband.
Several people were taken away for investigation, and at the city precinct, Chen Ge once again met with Team Yan, a slightly chubby policeman who looked much more haggard.
”Team Yan, long time no see.”
”Why do I feel like I can meet you every day?” Yan team looked at Chen Ge with a bit of a headache, he suddenly remembered some of the things that Team Li had said about Chen Ge in private, and suddenly his brain hurt vaguely.
However, he couldn’t blame Chen Ge, the one who said that he wouldn’t let the heart of justice get cold was him, the one who personally gave Chen Ge the Order of Law and Order and encouraged Chen Ge to continue to maintain law and order and stability was also him, he dug his own hole, and now he had to jump into it with tears in his eyes.
”Little Chen, well done!” Yan team’s smile was slightly forced, “But there’s a problem with the way you handled it, it was too impulsive.”
”I understand, mainly because I saw that they were inflicting atrocities on innocents, I couldn’t control myself a bit.” Chen Ge didn’t deny his impulsiveness, but he definitely wouldn’t admit to any injuries that he didn’t cause himself, “Team Yan, the matter of the carjacking man going into a coma after entering the dense forest can’t have anything to do with me at all, and I specifically avoided his vital positions when I laid my hands on him. After he somehow passed out, I still dragged him out from the depths of the forest.”
Team Yan nodded, “I’ve heard it all from those two cab drivers, if you hadn’t shown up in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”
The driver’s gratitude to Chen Ge was from the bottom of his heart, this was something Team Yan could see.
”Then can I leave now?” Chen Ge’s haunted house was going to start massive publicity tomorrow, and he would definitely mess up if he wasn’t present.
”There’s no rush, there’s still a lot of things to ask you, you can’t leave until you’ve made a full statement, that’s the rule.” Yan team and the other two police officers, the three of them asked Chen Ge all kinds of details related to the case at the same time, Chen Ge, who had already thought about what to say, was also considered to be able to cope with it.
What should be said was described in detail, what shouldn’t be said was treated as if it hadn’t happened, in addition, Chen Ge also provided Yan team with an important piece of information.
The surveillance video of Haiming’s apartment may have also captured the looks of accomplice number five.
At 3:30 a.m., Team Yan and the others saw that Chen Ge’s state was too bad, which was why they sent Chen Ge back to New Century Paradise.
Opening the door to the haunted house, the shriveled Chen Ge’s eyes regained their composure.
Ever since he ate Zhang Ya’s candy, he felt like he didn’t need too much sleep to stay energetic.
This was his secret and would not tell anyone.
”It’s better to keep a lower profile in the future, I can carry it off, but I’m afraid Team Yan and the others won’t be able to handle it.”
Lying down in the lounge, Chen Ge carried the white cat to one side and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.
At eight o’clock in the morning, Chen Ge was awakened by a phone call, and after connecting, he realized that it was Gu Feiyu calling.
Yesterday, after Gu followed the tourists to go in and experience a circle, he said he didn’t want to work here, money is important, but there is only one life ah.
Later, he couldn’t resist Chen Ge’s persuasion, and only then did he agree to try again today.
”For the Midnight Escape scene, it happens to be lacking an actor, so I can only let Xiao Gu take the top spot first.”
Chen Ge changed his clothes and after washing up, he ran to the entrance of the paradise and picked up Xiao Gu.
”Brother Chen, I don’t think I have the talent to scare people. I thought about it all night last night, you found a job for me and don’t mind me, but I can’t pit your haunted house’s reputation.” Xiao Gu was a truthful person.
”It’s fine if you don’t scare people, I can teach you.” Chen Ge looked Xiao Gu up and down, “Come in with me and try on your work clothes first.”
He brought Xiao Gu into the dressing room, and when Xiao Gu saw the blood-infested doctor’s uniform and the human skin mask that was a collage of human faces, her whole body went bad.
”Here, and this hammer, swing it a few times so I can see.”
