"But I didn't do anything! Wait a minute, I'll be down in a minute. "
Chen Ge leaned against the window and looked out. There was indeed a huge crowd surrounding the Haunted House. It was split into four layers, and the number was still growing.
"Boss, why don't you surrender yourself? I feel like this is getting out of hand."
"Surrender my ass! Wait for me downstairs. "After hanging up, Chen Ge put on his jacket, wiped his face, and ran to the Haunted House entrance.
He pulled back the opaque curtain and pushed the gate open.
The sun shone on his body. When Chen Ge appeared, the rowdy crowd slowly quieted down.
The visitors turned to look at Chen Ge. Their gazes were mixed with curiosity and a trace of disappointment. This man who was heavily guarded by the police looked too normal.
This was the first time that Chen Ge had been surrounded by so many people. The atmosphere was awkward, and he felt like he should say something. "Do you mind if I ask the purpose of your visit?"
"You're Chen Ge?" The leading officer was holding a box. He was slightly rotund, had sharp eyes, and a mature presence. However, due to his baby face, he gave off an inexplicable sense of humor.
"Yes."
"Do you mind if I take a look at your ID?"
Chen Ge rummaged through the box for a long time before handing it to the man. In the meantime, he secretly observed the officer before him. The officer's uniform was different from Inspector Lee's.
"Okay, identity confirmed." The rotund officer smiled. He waved at the reporter next to him, opened the box, and said in a very official tone, "In the case of Ping An Apartments, Comrade Chen Ge has provided a crucial clue. Based on Jiujiang City's temporary rule of awarding medals to those who have made special contributions, the Jiujiang City Public Security Bureau has specially awarded Comrade Chen Ge a third-class medal of honor! We hope that Comrade Chen Ge will cherish the honor and make new contributions to society's stability and harmony! "
This series of words confused Chen Ge. Things had changed too quickly. He accepted the box, and his drowsiness had not completely dissipated. Looking at the medal inside the box, there was only one thought in his mind — Where is the bonus?
The chubby policeman stood next to Chen Ge and praised Chen Ge to the surrounding reporters. The whole process lasted for 15 minutes.
The crowd dispersed. After the reporters left, Chen Ge quietly found the fat policeman. "Brother, how should I address you?"
"My surname is Yan, you can call me Captain Yan. I'm a classmate of Ol 'Lee from Western Jiujiang Police Station, and he has mentioned you to me before." Captain Yan looked kind, and there was a trace of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Chen Ge. "The way you handled the case at Ping An Apartments was correct. When you were being chased by the suspect, your reaction and observation skills surprised both me and Ol 'Lee."
After being showered with praise from Captain Yan, Chen Ge was too embarrassed to ask about the reward money. "At most, this can only be considered as a small trick. If not for you guys, I probably wouldn't have been able to escape from Ping An Apartments. The people's police work for the people, that saying is true."
After the awkward exchange of compliments, Captain Yan noticed that Chen Ge was still lingering next to the police car. He smiled, and he understood the reason. "Xiao Chen, the reward for the case of Ping An Apartments and the Third-Class Honor Medal will require you to bring your ID with you and personally go to the city station to claim it. Due to the long time span of the case, it took quite some time. I hope you understand."
"It's fine, it's fine." After knowing that he could claim the reward, Chen Ge's heart that had been hanging in the air finally returned to normal.
"I came here early today purely to express my gratitude to you. Every cold case is like a stone that weighs on the police's heart. The case will be passed from master to disciple, and it will continue to be passed on. I was involved in this case four years ago, so I guess it's a knot in my heart. " Captain Yan's smile came from the bottom of his heart. "By the way, the elder from Ping An Apartments also wishes to meet you. The old man is paralyzed in the wheelchair, unable to move his lower body, unable to speak, but his mind is not muddled. He knows that it was you who saved him and solved the case from several years ago, so he wishes to thank you in person. "
"Okay."
The case of Ping An Apartments, for Chen Ge, was just a mission for the black phone, but for the victims' family, it meant a lot.
"You'd better go there as soon as possible. The elder is still at the hospital. Perhaps it is because of the emotional turmoil, or perhaps the obsession that kept him going has dissipated. In any case, his condition is not that optimistic." After saying that, Captain Yan got into the car.
"Okay, I'll go there when I'm free." Chen Ge looked at the unique uniform that the man was wearing, and he had a feeling that this Captain Yan was not a normal person.
After the police car left, Xu Wan and the park workers came to surround him.
"Boss, are you going to be on TV again?"
"Of course, there's even an honor medal."
After a few words, Chen Ge found Xu Shu in the crowd and dragged him to a corner.
"Uncle, I asked you about the underground parking lot earlier. How is it going? The money is coming soon! "
When he heard that Chen Ge wanted to rent the underground parking lot, Xu Shu frowned immediately. "This is not a problem of money. I can't just watch you jump into a fire pit. Currently, the number of visitors at the park is dropping, and everyone is looking for a way out. Can't you be a little more rational?"
"I'm rational; I know what I'm doing." Chen Ge's attitude was firm. The key to his parents' disappearance might be hidden inside the Haunted House. Only by continuing to develop would he have the right and the ability to come into contact with things on that level.
"You sure won't listen." Uncle Xu had been persuading Chen Ge for a long time, but Chen Ge did not budge at all. With no other choice, he nodded. "Come with me. Mr. Luo is also here because of the wanted criminal. You can go and ask him personally."
"Director Luo is here as well?" Chen Ge had heard about him from his parents a long time ago. Mr. Luo was the real leader of New Century Park.
"What do you think? The city's criminal investigation unit is stationed around the park. They will definitely inform the management and ask for full cooperation. Director Luo will be staying at the park for the next few days. " Xu Shu led Chen Ge to the northernmost office building. This was the tallest building in New Century Park other than the Ferris wheel. "When you meet Mr. Luo later, don't say anything. The less you say, the less you'll make a mistake. Do you understand?"
Chen Ge followed Xu Shu into the elevator, and they reached the top floor of the building. The two stopped in front of an office door.
The door was not locked. Xu Shu knocked on the door, and a man in his fifties soon walked out from inside.
He was not tall, and his hair was a mix of black and white. His facial features looked soft, and the suit he wore was not branded, but it was clean and tidy.
