The cheapest one costs 3,000?
Chen Ge coughed and touched the 20,000 RMB in his bag. His expression was calm. "Money is not a problem, but the Haunted House's new scenario needs to be opened the day after tomorrow at the latest. We can't drag it out for that long. If you don't have enough manpower, do you have all the materials in your warehouse? "
"I have all the materials." The boss did not know why Chen Ge would suddenly ask that. "As long as you give me a few more days, I promise you'll be satisfied with this order."
"The Haunted House's new scenario opens the day after tomorrow, that's not negotiable."
"Our situation is not that good. Didn't you see the transfer sign outside? Before this, I only did the design and left the rest to the workers, but there was no work for several weeks. To save money, I had no choice but to fire all the workers. " The boss did not want to give up on Chen Ge's order. "How about this, I call the workers tonight and have them work overtime for a week?"
"A week is still too long. I need it the day after tomorrow."
"Even if I work as hard as I can, I can only make three or four pieces the day after tomorrow." The boss sighed.
"You have the materials but not the manpower." Chen Ge put down his backpack. "How about this, you lend me this workshop for twenty-four hours and just prepare the materials for me."
"Hmm?"
As they chatted, things started to develop in a strange direction. The boss did not know how to react. "Then what should I do?"
"Just stand to the side and watch." Chen Ge moved his fingers and looked around the room. "After all, you don't have many people here. After the shop is transferred, the materials inside the warehouse will be sold at a low price or thrown away. Why don't you rent it to me for a day? Don't worry, I'll buy the materials according to the market price. "
That was the theory, but something did not feel right!
The boss thought about it for a long time. He did not seem to be losing anything. Looking at the eager Chen Ge, he nodded with difficulty. "Okay, but you need to give me a deposit of 10,000 first. I'll deduct the amount of materials used and return the rest to you."
"It's a deal."
Chen Ge paid the money and entered the workshop with the man. The place was large, and there were various tools on the ground.
"Are you sure you want to do it yourself?" The boss was still suspicious of Chen Ge. "I can help you if you need it. I have nothing better to do anyway."
"Then I'll thank you first." Chen Ge had seen similar things in a toy factory during his internship in university, so he was very clear about the uses of various tools. He took out his phone and dialed Inspector Lee's number once he had a rough idea of what was going on.
"Uncle Lee, I have a favor to ask. It's about Mu Yang High School."
"The police station has already closed the case, so why are you still hanging on to Mu Yang High School?" Every time Inspector Lee picked up Chen Ge's call, he would feel nervous, afraid that he would hear some bad news.
"It has nothing to do with the hidden corpse case. I just want to …"
"Don't get involved with this school anymore." Inspector Lee's voice turned serious. "Based on the investigation from the local police station, before the school was built, there might have been other cases hidden there."
"Another case?" Chen Ge did not press the issue. "Inspector Lee, you misunderstand. I have no intention of interfering with your business. Didn't you tell me something happened to one of the classes at Mu Yang High School? I just want to ask, do you have the pictures of the twenty-four children who died? "
"Have you lost your mind? Why are you looking for these things? "
"It's very important. I can't tell you the reason, but I'm sure I mean no harm." Chen Ge had created bodies for the twenty-four lingering spirits so that they would not wander. In a way, he was doing a good deed.
There was a long pause on the other end of the phone before Inspector Lee's voice said, "Kid, don't mess around! If you find anything, remember to inform me immediately. Fine, I'll help you take a look later. "
After the call ended, Chen Ge did not think much of it, but the fat boss was so scared that he did not dare say anything. After half a minute of hesitation, he leaned toward Chen Ge to ask, "Are you a police officer?"
"Don't overthink it. Do you have all the materials?"
"Yes." The fat boss looked at Chen Ge, and even his voice had lowered.
"Okay, we'll get to work now." Chen Ge and the fat boss went to prepare the clay. Ten minutes later, Inspector Lee sent Chen Ge a picture of the twenty-six students. According to him, it was the only picture in the file.
In the middle of the picture sat a bespectacled old man, and behind him were twenty-five students.
"It'll be much easier to compare them with the pictures." Chen Ge had the fat boss stay away while he pasted the clay onto the wooden board. After forming the shape of a human head, the Basic Talent Doll was fully activated.
Using more than ten different carving knives, he used only a few minutes to carve out a human head that looked exactly like the one in the picture.
His nimble hands moved like butterflies, and he skillfully switched between more than twenty different carving knives. The fat boss was stunned by the scene, as if he was watching an art documentary at three times the speed of sound.
"What is this man's job?"
After the carving was complete, Chen Ge used a wet sponge to clean the human head. His fingers were imbued with a special force, and after the cleaning, the clay revealed the texture of human skin.
After a while, the clay hardened, and he poured a thick layer of plaster over it. All that was left was to wait.
The plaster needed about an hour to solidify, and during this time, Chen Ge started to work on the other human heads.
One and a half hours later, Chen Ge finished making all the human skulls. He removed the first few human skulls from the plaster and poured a layer of latex into them. This latex was the mannequin's skin.
After applying the latex evenly, Chen Ge placed a bendable patch into it to act as the mannequin's spine. Then he started to pour in the filler.
Everything was done in one go. Minus the time needed for the plaster to solidify, Chen Ge only needed ten minutes to make a human head.
"It's getting late. Take the 10,000 RMB deposit and don't touch anything in this area. I'll come back tomorrow." Chen Ge washed his hands and prepared to head to Hai Ming Apartments.
"Don't worry, I won't touch anything." Looking at the twenty-four human heads on the table, the fat boss shivered. He had seen many mannequins, but the mannequins made by Chen Ge gave him a different feeling. They were very real, like the human heads were not clay dolls that could blink at any moment.
Carrying his backpack, Chen Ge walked out from the underground workshop and hailed a taxi to Hai Ming Apartments. It was time to meet with Dr. Gao.
Passing through the bustling city, Chen Ge arrived at the old city. The buildings here were not tall.
