Chapter 0753 – Who? Say that again?
”I’ve memorized the name of the ward, now I’ll go back and ask the leaders.”
”You’d better hurry up, the patient’s condition is unstable, in addition if he faints for a long period of time, it will cause some damage and impact on the brain.”
”En.”
The lead policeman left one of his team members to guard the scene, and returned to the police station with the others himself.
……
Pushing open the glass door of the police station, a wave of noisy sound rushed towards the lead policeman.
He frowned as he looked at his place of office, which was at the moment crowded with people, each of them with exaggerated expressions, who were complaining about something to the police officer on duty.
”There are no rules at all! Is that what the code teaches you guys?” The lead policeman shouted at the young policeman on duty, his voice a bit stern.
”Team Cai! You’re finally back, it’s not that we don’t follow the code, their situation is really special.” The young policeman handed the organized transcript to Team Cai.
”Red clothes? Weird talk? A silhouette under the building? And playing the piano? What’s all this?” Team Cai threw the transcript hard on the table, “They go crazy and you go crazy with them? Don’t you even have the most basic judgment?”
”We’ve pushed and prodded, even used the lie detector, it doesn’t feel like this group of people are lying.”
”Bullshit, hurry up and give me back that broken machine!” Cai team was a little angry, walked over to personally inquire, after asking half a day he realized that he had wronged the young cop, this group of actors who ran out from the haunted house seemed to be too deep into the drama, immersed in their own world and couldn’t get out.
”Did that haunted house recruit a bunch of crazy people?” Unable to ask anything from the haunted house actors, Team Cai focused on the tourists; the haunted house actors might intentionally hide it for the benefit of the haunted house, but the tourists certainly wouldn’t.
In order to prevent the tourists from being threatened by the haunted house actors, Team Cai also specifically invited the three tourists to another room, “You guys come with me.”
Closing the door of the single room, the always serious Team Cai’s expression eased, “Relax, you guys just tell the truth, don’t have any worries.”
Li Yuan and Xue Li, the couple, were entering the police station for the first time and appeared nervous.
Compared to them Chen Ge was just like returning to his home, he even ran to the water fountain and got himself a glass of water.
”Were you three tourists the only ones in the haunted house when it happened?” Team Cai’s gaze moved away from Chen Ge and looked at Li Yuan and Xue Li.
”There were also three students and a young woman who didn’t talk much.” Li Yuan thought for a moment and spoke.
”We’ve verified the identities of these four people, all of them are extras hired by the haunted house.” Team Cai let the people outside send in the transcripts and casually flipped through them a few times, “Think carefully again, during your visit did you encounter any other tourists, or some people who looked obviously abnormal.”
”Unusual people?” Li Yuan glanced outside through the cubicle window, “Those people don’t even look normal.”
In his heart, he really couldn’t understand, he was just visiting a haunted house, why would he end up being sent to the police station, “Comrade police officer, my girlfriend and I simply went to visit a haunted house, wanting to have an unforgettable date, we didn’t even know that such a big thing had happened in the haunted house, if we knew that we would have definitely run away at the first time, where would we have stayed there to explore? ?”
”I see, that means that you two didn’t encounter the monster in red that the actor mentioned during your visit to the haunted house.” Team Cai was keen to catch the key point, the tourists had no reason to lie, what they said should be the truth: “The red-clothed monsters and the people under the building that the haunted house actors talked about should all be their self-directed farce, this is most likely a new marketing method.”
”Probably.” Li Yuan and Xue Li were also a bit scared, they didn’t realize until now that the three students and the young woman were all haunted house actors. Having actors to impersonate tourists and then scare them after gaining their trust was a move that went too far.
Team Cai asked a few more questions, Li Yuan and Xue Li answered honestly, and in the end, when Team Cai really couldn’t ask anything, they once again shifted their sights to Chen Ge.
”What’s your name?”
”Chen Ge.”
”I heard that you’re from Hanjiang, and you specifically ran to Xinhai this morning just to visit this haunted house?”
”Yes, I run a haunted house myself and wanted to come to see the biggest haunted house in Xinhai.” Chen Ge didn’t hide this information, even if he didn’t say anything, the police could find out.
”So, you’re a peer with those actors out there?” Team Cai narrowed his eyes, his years of experience in handling cases made him feel that there was something suspicious about the young man in front of him.
”I can’t compare to others, we’re a small business, they play too big, all kinds of schemes are simply unintelligible.” Chen Ge had a bitter face.
”Witnesses said that you jumped down from the second floor with the haunted house actors, so did you see the monster in red they said?”
”Frankly speaking, I was baffled by them. There were screams all over the haunted house, the speakers were full of strange noises, and everyone was all running, so I ran with them.”
Watertight, no matter what Team Cai asked, Chen Ge answered seamlessly.
”Alright, you three go out first, after the transcripts are organized, you can leave.” After Team Cai waited for Chen Ge’s three to leave, he stared at the chair Chen Ge had just sat in, “This young man’s thoughts are clear and his answers are smooth, it feels as if he’s already thought of an answer before I even asked the question. He doesn’t look much older, but he’s very calm, during the conversation with me, there wasn’t even a ripple in his eyes, it’s a bit scary. No, I’m going to check it out, how is a complete lack of loopholes not a loophole?”
Team Cai turned on his computer and logged into the police internal database, it was now the era of big data, it was very convenient to screen criminals.
After he entered Chen Ge’s basic information, he looked at the computer page and directly froze.
The other party is not only not a criminal, but also an excellent citizen of Hanjiang, has received the medal of bravery and Hanjiang City Public Security Bureau personally awarded the third-class public order medal of honor, even more horrifying is that the other party to assist the police to handle the case, just the recognition information are full of a whole page!
The corners of his mouth twitched, Team Cai now had some doubts that Chen Ge was an undercover agent of the Hanjiang police, such an exaggerated resume was very rare even in Xinhai.
”There’s a short period of time in between the commendation information, is this guy just wandering around between various murder scenes without doing anything every day?”
Team Cai was somewhat unable to accept this, and after checking all the information, he took out his own cell phone in a responsible manner and dialed a number.
Within a few rings, the call was answered, and an impatient voice came from the other side of the phone, “Old Cai, say something quickly, I’m busy as hell over here.”
”Li Zheng, your kid’s tone of voice has been different from before since he was transferred into the Hanjiang Serious Crimes Unit!”
”I’m tracking a murder here, no time to talk to you, hang up, when you’re done with this period of time to invite you to dinner.”
”Wait, it won’t take much of your time.” Team Cai looked at the information on the webpage, “I’m calling you this time, mainly because I want to ask you about someone.”
”Who?”
”Chen Ge.”
”Who? Say that again?”
”It’s a haunted house owner in Hanyue called Chen Ge, and I saw the recognition message you gave him in our intranet.”
”He ran away to Xinhai?!” Li Zheng’s voice was obviously not quite right.
”Yeah, at noon we received a call to the police that someone had jumped off a building in a haunted house, and it turned out that he was present.”
”He was the one who called the police?”
”No, he was the one who jumped.”
