"Yes, I know."
Chen Ge was thankful for the police in Jiujiang. The police might not represent justice, but Chen Ge knew that Lee Zheng and Captain Yan were trying their best to uphold justice, and they had helped Chen Ge a lot.
"You say you know, but you'll do it again next time." Lee Zheng shook his head helplessly. He was persuading Chen Ge from the bottom of his heart. Compared to him, who had the support of his family and colleagues, Chen Ge was alone.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Brother Zheng, how did you find the body?"
"Based on what you said, it was very easy. There was no one living on the twelfth floor, but the monthly electricity bill was very high. We locked onto this place, and when we opened the door, we found the body inside the freezer."
"Has the culprit been caught?"
"The suspect should be the owner, and the victim is his girlfriend who suffered from anorexia. When we received the news, we have already sent people over. If there are no accidents, we should be able to catch him tonight." The efficiency of the Jiujiang police was very high, and in a way, that had something to do with Chen Ge.
"That's good. At least I can give her an explanation."
"An explanation?"
"Can I go in to take a look? This shouldn't be the primary crime scene, so there is no possibility of the evidence being destroyed. " With Lee Zheng's permission, Chen Ge entered the room. The room was not big, and it was where the girl spent the last moments of her life.
Walking through the living room, Chen Ge entered the kitchen and saw the freezer and fridge that were placed side by side.
He was reminded of the words that the girl had told him that night, and his heart was pained. "The person who harmed you will soon be punished by the law. He won't be able to escape."
Just as Chen Ge said that, there was a very light knock on the door.
Lee Zheng subconsciously turned to look behind him. Because of his Ghost Ear, Chen Ge turned to look at the freezer first.
Opening the door, Chen Ge saw a thin girl curled up in the shadow of the freezer. Her arms were wrapped around her shoulders, and her head was slowly raised. Her pale face was covered in tears.
The sun shone on her face, and her body became transparent, but she did not seem to mind it. It was as if she wanted to bathe her last moments in the light.
"Don't cry, you deserve a better life."
Chen Ge put his hand into the freezer, trying to help her wipe her tears, but he didn't touch anything.
The sunlight shone between them like a ravine that could never be crossed.
"It's okay, I'll take you home."
Before the girl disappeared, Chen Ge took out the comic and put her inside.
Looking at the empty freezer, Chen Ge spaced out for a while.
"What are you looking at? The corpses were indeed found here, but they have already been transported away. "Lee Zheng walked over.
"It's nothing," Chen Ge picked up his backpack and waved at Lee Zheng. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
"Do you think I called you over just to chat with you? I want you to tell me clearly what you did last night in full detail! After you're done with your statement and there's no problem, you can go back and wait for the next summons! "
…
When Chen Ge returned to New Century Park, it was already afternoon. After running between Eastern Jiujiang and Western Jiujiang, coupled with the fact that he had not slept for a whole night, he was very tired.
"My own Haunted House is still the most comfortable."
Lying in the staff breakroom, Chen Ge fell asleep before he knew it.
No one disturbed him, and when Chen Ge opened his eyes again, the sky was already dark.
"It's already 8 pm? I have to remember to set the alarm next time. " Chen Ge pulled back the thin blanket that covered him and glanced at the door. The room was quiet, and the employees appeared to have left for work.
He placed the white cat that was lying on him to the side and noticed a note left on the table. The handwriting was left behind by Xu Wan. 'We've already cleaned up the place. Have a good rest and remember to eat.'
Putting down the note, Chen Ge carried his backpack and walked out of the staff breakroom. He looked around every scenario.
After confirming that there were no problems, he went to the Prop Room and found the picture that he had drawn during the day inside the wooden box in the corner.
It was a normal picture, and there was no bad vibe attached to it.
The date was written on the back of the picture, December 21st. The front of the picture was of a teenage boy. He was wearing a white shirt, and his face was blurred out. However, he gave off a very clean and sunny feeling.
"How am I supposed to find him? There isn't even an address? "Chen Ge memorized the date and then stared at the picture.
"A fountain of light? This place looks like a park downtown! "Without any other clues, Chen Ge decided to go downtown to take a look.
Ever since he obtained the black phone, he rarely went to the city, and he usually went to the more secluded places.
Before he could take out the things inside his backpack, Chen Ge put the picture away and ran out of the Haunted House.
He took a taxi to the city. The park in Chen Ge's memory was already fenced off like it was under construction, and only a small path was left open.
"Brother, why is this park fenced off? Can I still go in? "Chen Ge found a man wearing a hard hat next to the fence.
"Why would I go in? This park is going to be demolished soon. Didn't you see the trees that are decades old have been moved away? "The man looked like he was easy to talk to.
"It's going to be demolished?" Chen Ge had found this place through the picture. If the park was demolished, the scenery in the picture would disappear, and his last clue would disappear.
"I heard they're going to build a supermarket, but I'm not too sure about the details." The man waved at Chen Ge. "We're in the middle of construction, so you'd better not go in there."
"I have a friend who left me a picture of the park. He hasn't been feeling well recently, and he wants me to go to the park to help him take some pictures." Chen Ge walked down the empty path. "I'll be out in a minute."
The park was filled with large holes. The tiles had been turned over, and the valuable old trees had been dug away. Only weeds remained in the garden.
Holding the picture, Chen Ge walked through the park based on the impression he had when he was young.
He had been to this park before, but because it was too far from Western Jiujiang, he had not been there that often.
After walking around for a long time, Chen Ge finally found the place in the picture.
However, the fountain had run out of water, and the lights around it had been removed, leaving behind rusted metal frames.
Weeds grew out from the gaps between the tiles, and the ice cream and cotton candy shop in the picture had disappeared. The only thing that was similar to the picture was the bench next to the fountain.
"It's indeed the same place."
Chen Ge walked past the fountain and looked around before sitting down on the bench. "How am I supposed to find it now?"
He stared at the picture in his hand, and he was lost in it when a woman's voice came into his ears.
"I'm sorry, but do you know Fang Yu?"
Chen Ge turned to look, and he saw a quiet woman standing behind him.
The woman was about the same age as Chen Ge. Her skin was very white, and her face, neck, and arms were covered in tattoos, but they only had one name — Fang Yu.
