Chapter 0553: Smoking one last time again!
Being recognized by the duty officer was something Chen Ge hadn’t expected before he arrived.
He coughed dryly and quickly entered the state, “I accidentally crashed a child abduction case on my way to the eastern suburb, you guys know me, I can’t tolerate sand in my eyes, and I have a strong sense of justice, and after a fight to the death, I finally rescued this child.”
”People with a sense of justice don’t hang on to it every day.” The three police officers on duty in the Xicheng police station all came over, one of them had previously worked with Li Sanbao, responsible for the Mureyang Middle School’s hidden corpse case, and had a deep impression of Chen Ge: “I can’t be the master of this matter of yours, our director and director Li have explained that once a certain case involves you, you must ask for instructions from them before you can make a decision.”
”It’s not a murder case this time, so it shouldn’t be that serious, right?” Chen Ge still had things to do, and his original plan was to drop the child off here so that he could leave in peace.
”So in your eyes, only murder cases are considered serious? This is a dangerous thought of yours.” That policeman directly dialed Li Sanbao’s number, leaving two policemen, one to take the child to one side, and the other to stand guard right next to Chen Ge, on high alert.
A few minutes later, the policeman who had spoken to Team Li on the phone came out of the office and looked at Chen Ge with an odd expression.
”What did Team Li say? Can I leave now?” Chen Ge hadn’t slept all night, and with the park opening at nine o’clock, he was anxious to go back and catch up on his sleep.
”Leaving is impossible.” The police officer put the information in his hand on the table, “At nine o’clock last night, a pair of young parents came to report that they lost their child, and the photo they provided of their child was the same as this child you recovered.”
”That’s a good thing! It also saves you time, just return the child directly to the people.” Chen Ge was puzzled: “Could it be that the child’s parents want to thank me in person? There’s no need to go through so much trouble.”
”No, we want to ask you to cooperate.” The policeman flipped open the information, which recorded several children’s information, “These are the children who have gone missing in the western suburbs in the last few months, and all of their cases have one thing in common, which is that they happened on a rainy night. We’ve been following up on this case, and through our visits and investigations, there were witnesses who had seen a middle-aged woman entering and exiting the scene of the crime, and just last night when this boy disappeared, there were people in the neighborhood who saw that woman as well.”
”Many cases in a row?” Chen Ge knew that all of these cases should be related to the mastermind behind the Eastern Suburbs, he just wasn’t sure why the other party needed so many children.
”Yes. The case had a very bad impact, and there was even a story circulating in those areas where the cases were high. It says that whenever it rains, a middle-aged woman with a basket will appear, she was kicked out of the house by her husband because she couldn’t have children, so she loathed men and children, and would use all sorts of methods to bring the children deeper into the streets, and then hide them.”
”Isn’t that just typical urban weirdness? It can’t be true.” Chen Ge did not expect the police to suddenly say this.
”Most of the weird stories and urban legends circulating locally actually have story archetypes, so you can’t believe all of them, and you can’t completely disregard them either.” The policeman finished and looked at Chen Ge: “There have been a total of seven cases of lost children, and this child is the only one who was found, and you are the only one who has dealt with the suspect, so I have to keep you around.”
”Alright, I will fully cooperate with your investigation.” Chen Ge knew that he wouldn’t be able to leave, poured himself a cup of hot water and sat down on the chair, “But then again, cooperation is cooperation, so you guys can’t keep making me cooperate. At the very beginning when I provided key clues for the Ping An Apartment extermination case, you guys even rewarded me with 50,000 dollars, but now, not to mention the money, you don’t even have a medal or notice of commendation, that’s not quite right, is it?”
Seeing Chen Ge acting like a scoundrel, the policeman was exasperated, “Don’t worry, all the credits have been recorded on the side of the city precinct, and in the future, you may be awarded an honorary citizen, one of the ten outstanding youths of Jiujiang, or something like that.”
”There is this good thing? Then am I likely to be on TV?”
”You first cooperate with us to solve the case successfully, those will come.”
”No problem, but when the time comes, you guys must communicate with the reporters, if you have to interview me, please do it at the entrance of my haunted house, it’s kind of a kind of hidden publicity.” Chen Ge replied back very seriously.
Team Li arrived half an hour later, and Chen Ge told him the story he had made up.
He said that he was riding an electric bike to the eastern suburbs, and as he passed a station, he saw a middle-aged woman holding a child as if she was waiting for someone.
He thought how unsafe it was in the dark, so he went over and prepared to send the mother and child home.
Chatting in the process he found the situation is not right, the boy is not asleep, but unconscious, immediately ready to call the police, but coincidentally the phone is out of battery.
Later, the middle-aged woman knew that things were lost and fled, Chen Ge chased for a while, thinking that the safety of the child is still the most important, so he brought the child back.
The abducted child has been in a state of unconsciousness on the last train, Chen Ge is not worried that the child will leak.
After listening to all of them, several police officers felt unbelievable, going out for a walk and running into a suspect in a child abduction case, the man in front of them could no longer be viewed in a normal light in a certain way.
After describing the middle-aged woman’s looks, Team Li agreed to Chen Ge’s departure, and he also knew that Chen Ge’s haunted house would be open during the day.
At seven in the morning, Chen Ge was sent back to the New Century Paradise by the police car, the janitor looked at Chen Ge who was walking towards him, and he forgot that this was the first time he had seen Chen Ge today.
”The park will be opening for business soon, I’d better not sleep.”
After taking a cool shower, Chen Ge changed into clean clothes and simply cleaned the haunted house.
After getting it all done, Chen Ge took his black cell phone and started to study the trial quests on it.
”These newly appeared trial missions are all in the eastern suburb, in order to expand the haunted house, the eastern suburb must be visited.”
”The advice Boo gave me at the time was that something would happen if I went to Liwan Town again, it didn’t say that I couldn’t enter the eastern suburbs. If I think about it this way, the safest way is to not go to Liwan Town for the time being, and then gather all the ‘people’ to go there together after finishing the other few three-star trial missions.”
”Even with Zhang Ya and Xu Yin, Boo still thinks that I’m bound to die, so it seems that there’s still a gap between my strength and the black hand behind the eastern suburbs.”
Chen Ge slid his phone and thought about ways to bridge the gap, “Yan Danian’s special ability must be unlocked as soon as possible, and Bai Qiulin, he swallowed Xiong Qing and possessed a heart dyed red, but his strength growth isn’t too obvious, he still has to swallow more ghosts and monsters to make it work.”
After going through all the members of the haunted house, Chen Ge realized that if he didn’t count Zhang Ya, his side’s strength was far inferior to the original Weird Tales Association.
In the event of danger, once Zhang Ya and Xu Yin were stalled, then he would already be half cold.
”There are still too few employees in the haunted house that can be brought to the table.” Chen Ge thought for a moment and opened his black cell phone, looking at one of the options.
”This Terror Spinning Wheel can draw out Knight Ghosts, but the problem now is that if I draw out two more Knight Ghosts, that Knight Ghost Favored One title of mine will be upgraded.”
”I have Zhang Ya and Xu Yin by my side, ordinary Knight Ghosts aren’t too much of a threat to me, and this title is just right for me right now, so I can get close to them and easily communicate with them.”
”But if this title is upgraded, there’s a good chance that it will attract even more dangerous things over in the future? In case Tia and Xu Yin can’t handle it either, then won’t I have to go back to my old life of fear and trepidation?”
