Chapter 0754 – Unexpected Harvest
”The one who jumped was Chen Ge? It shouldn’t be! Is he okay?” Li Zheng’s voice was a bit puzzled.
”That kid’s physical quality is very good, there were several people who jumped from the second floor of the haunted house at that time, only he didn’t have a single injury on his body.” Team Cai also couldn’t figure it out, he checked the surveillance of the building opposite the haunted house, and among all the jumpers Chen Ge was the most skillful in his movements, cushioning and unloading, as if he had practiced many times even jumping down from high places.
”There is indeed a problem, but I don’t think you need to worry too much, as long as he didn’t report it to the police, it shouldn’t even be a big deal.” Li Zheng had the tone of a man who had been there.
”Several people were injured, and a few more are unconscious and being resuscitated, so it’s not a big deal?”
”I also don’t know why he went to Xinhai, if you have the chance to receive a police call from him later, you’ll understand the meaning of my words now. Old Cai, enjoy the peaceful life you have now, I have something else on my side, so I’ll hang up first.” Li Zheng was ready to hang up the phone after he finished speaking.
”Wait a minute! Why do I feel that there is something in your words, don’t even think about hanging up the phone today until you make things clear.” Team Cai was also stubborn.
”I’m kind of scared of you, what else do you want to know, hurry up and ask.” Li Zheng was really busy, he had just been discharged from the hospital and immediately started working, there were still several serious cases at hand that he needed to cooperate with the investigation.
”I looked at the recognition information you released, the intervals were all very short, there were even cases like providing clues to a murder twice within a week.” Team Cai’s tone was serious: “Is it possible for an ordinary person to crash two consecutive murder cases within a week? Is it possible for so many murders to happen around an ordinary person? Unless the murderer is himself, the probability can be almost as low as negligible.”
”Your skepticism is reasonable, but did I say he was an ordinary person?” Li Zheng knew that the other party had misunderstood.
”Could it be that he is really one of yours?”
”That’s not true, this kid has a lot of talent for being a cop, but it’s a pity that he used this talent to open a haunted house.” Li Zheng also felt a bit sorry, “We investigated all his information as early as the first time we received his call to the police, don’t you see that he is usually cheeky, in fact, the bitterness in his heart is only known to himself.”
”He’s still a man with a story?”
”En, just a year ago, his parents strangely disappeared, not seeing anyone alive, not seeing their bodies, and so far no investigation has been done to find out why. According to the description of an old-timer at the local police station, this kid directly collapsed at that time, muddled for a long time, and only regained his composure after a few months. It was probably from that time that he decided to find his parents’ whereabouts on his own. The surveillance around his place of residence often captured images of him going out late at night, and the fact that he collected local unsolved crimes and various clues, and took the initiative to go to those dangerous places, should have been in order to find his family.”
After hearing Li Zheng’s words, Team Cai didn’t respond immediately, his mind conjured up Chen Ge’s appearance just now, remembering Chen Ge’s calm eyes, “It’s dangerous for him to do this, haven’t you guys persuaded him?”
”We persuaded him more than once, but it was no use at all, in fact, we can understand him if we think about it differently. The whereabouts of his family is unknown, and all the good memories are in the past, such a person is naturally cynical.” Li Zheng’s evaluation of Chen Ge was very high, and he especially appreciated Chen Ge.
Having a bumpy and twisted past, a sense of justice, cynicism, and excellent personal abilities, this was Team Cai’s current impression of Chen Ge.
”Alright, I know, I won’t bother you anymore.” Team Cai hung up the phone and looked at the densely packed recognition messages on the computer page and fumed, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, he took out his cell phone and dialed his leader’s number, asking for instructions from above to see if he should send the Nightmare Academy’s boss to the Hanjiang Intensive Care Ward for treatment first.
After receiving the leader’s consent, Team Cai immediately set off and rushed to the hospital.
It was only at five o’clock in the afternoon that Chen Ge came out of the Xinhai Central Avenue police station.
Compared to the local police station in Hanjiang, the process was a bit more complicated on Xinhai’s side, but of course, it was also possible that because the local police in Hanjiang had all gotten to know Chen Ge, some unnecessary steps were omitted.
”I thought I could go back at noon, but I ended up staying in this place for a whole day.” Walking out of the police station, Chen Ge took a taxi and went back to the Nightmare Academy, where Old Zhou and Xu Yin were still in the haunted house and hadn’t recovered.
Xinhai Central Avenue was crowded with people, and the midday haunting hadn’t had much of an impact on the place.
Keeping his head down, Chen Ge mingled in the crowd and glanced towards the haunted house, the main door was closed and a cordon was placed at the entrance.
”We can’t get in through the main entrance, so we can only go through the mall.” Chen Ge entered the mall through another entrance of the building, and he pressed the repeater switch, wanting to contact Xu Yin.
After wandering around the mall for a few minutes, the repeater suddenly emitted a rustling current sound, and Chen Ge realized that Xu Yin had sensed him.
He turned into the restroom, found an unoccupied cubicle, and began to softly call out Xu Yin’s name in his mind.
The lights in the restroom flickered slightly, the doorway creaked, and at some point, the overhead lights suddenly went out.
The faucet made a ticking sound, and there was an additional faint smell of blood in the air, followed by a line of blood on the door panel of the cubicle – Toilet in the Underground Garage.
”Xu Yin told me to go to this place?”
Chen Ge didn’t think much about it and directly came to the underground garage on the negative floor of the building, but he didn’t find a toilet after searching for half a day, and only saw the utility room with a sign saying that entry was forbidden.
”It should be here, right?”
Opening the door to the room, Chen Ge entered it, the room was indeed a toilet, but it had long since ceased to be used, and all sorts of sundries and garbage were piled up inside.
Calling out to Xu Yin again, this time, Xu Yin, dressed in red, and Old Zhou with a naive smile appeared at the same time.
”Boss, the two of us had an unexpected harvest in this haunted house.” Old Zhou led the way as they opened the door to the last compartment, and the wall inside was opened up, connecting to a dark and deep passageway.
Removing all the wooden boards blocking the way, Chen Ge and the two employees entered.
”This place is connected to the negative floor of the haunted house, leading to a forbidden scene.” Led by Old Zhou, Chen Ge arrived at a scene on the negative floor of the haunted house that was completely sealed up by wooden boards.
Removing the wooden boards, Chen Ge looked inside, the entire scene was empty, it seemed that most of the props had been removed, leaving only a school desk placed in the very center.
A very ordinary desk without any features, Chen Ge looked towards the desk drawer again and found that a diary was placed inside.
”Is this the unexpected discovery you guys were talking about?” Chen Ge took out the diary and casually flipped through it, feeling that it looked familiar, and he took out the diary he had obtained at the Nightmare Academy’s orientation ceremony from his backpack.
After comparing them, he realized that the contents of the two diaries were 80% to 90% similar.
The difference was that the diary in the desk drawer had all the words on it sewn on with thin red thread, which looked very awkward.
”Boss, this diary was written with the blood thread behind the door, and it came from inside a certain door.”
