"I've memorized the name of the sickroom. I'll go back to ask my superior."
"You'd better hurry. The patient's condition is unstable, and if he faints for too long, it will cause damage to his brain."
"Okay."
The lead officer left one of his men to guard the scene and led the rest back to the station.
…
Pushing open the glass door, a wave of noise rushed at the lead officer.
He frowned as he looked at his office. The place was filled with people, and they all had exaggerated expressions on their faces. They were telling the officers on duty something.
"Where are the rules? Is that what you were taught? "the lead officer yelled at the young officer on duty. His voice was harsh.
"Captain Cai! You're finally back. It's not that we're not following the rules, but their situation is very unique. "The young officer handed the written statement to Captain Cai.
"Red Specter? Ghost story? The shadow under the building? Can play the piano? What the hell is this? "Captain Cai slammed the statement on the table." They're crazy, and you're going crazy with them? Do you not even have the most basic judgment? "
"We've looked into it and even used a lie detector. It doesn't look like they're lying."
"Bullsh * t, return that stupid machine to me!" Captain Cai was rather angry. He walked over to question the young officer, but after a long time, he realized that he had wronged the young officer. This group of actors who had escaped from the Haunted House seemed to be too immersed in their own world to come out.
"Did the Haunted House hire a bunch of madmen?" Since he could not get anything out of the actors, Captain Cai focused on the visitors. The actors might hide things for the Haunted House's benefit, but the visitors would not.
To prevent the visitors from being threatened by the actors, Captain Cai even led the three visitors to another room. "Come with me."
After closing the door, the serious Captain Cai's expression softened. "Relax, just tell us the truth. There's no need to hold back."
This was the first time that Lee Yuan and Xue Li had been to the police station, so they were nervous.
Compared to them, Chen Ge felt like he had returned home. He even ran to the water dispenser to get himself a glass of water.
"When this happened, were the three of you the only visitors inside the Haunted House?" Captain Cai's eyes moved away from Chen Ge to look at Lee Yuan and Xue Li.
"There are also three students and a young woman who doesn't like to talk," Li Yuan said after thinking for a moment.
"We've verified the identities of these four people. They are all temporary actors hired by the haunted house." Captain Cai had the people outside bring in the notes, and he flipped through them. "Think about it carefully. During the tour, did you run into any other visitors or people who looked obviously abnormal?"
"Abnormal people?" Lee Yuan glanced outside through the cubicle window. "Those people don't look normal."
He really could not understand why he would end up at the police station when he was merely visiting a Haunted House. "Officer, my girlfriend and I just wanted to visit a Haunted House and have an unforgettable date. We had no idea that something so big had happened inside the Haunted House. If we had known, we would have left immediately. Why would we have stayed there to explore?"
"Understood. In other words, when you visited the Haunted House, you did not run into the Red Specter mentioned by the actors." Captain Cai acutely grasped the key point. The visitors had no reason to lie, so they should be telling the truth. "The Red Specter mentioned by the actors and the people at the bottom of the building should be a self-directed farce. This is probably a new marketing strategy."
"Probably." Lee Yuan and Xue Li were also quite afraid. It was not until then that they found out that the three students and the young woman were all actors. To have an actor pretend to be a visitor and then scare the visitors after gaining their trust, that was too much.
Captain Cai asked a few more questions, and Lee Yuan and Xue Li answered honestly. In the end, when Captain Cai could not get anything out of them, he moved his attention back to Chen Ge.
"What's your name?"
"Chen Ge."
"I hear you're from Jiujiang, and you purposely came to Xin Hai this morning to visit this Haunted House?"
"Yes, I own a Haunted House, and I wanted to see the biggest Haunted House in Xin Hai for myself." Chen Ge did not hide this information. Even if he did not say it, the police would be able to find out.
"In other words, you're in the same business as the actors outside?" Captain Cai narrowed his eyes. His years of experience made him feel that this young man was rather suspicious.
"I'm not as good as them. This is a small business, and they're playing too big. I don't understand their tricks at all." Chen Ge had a bitter expression on his face.
"The witnesses said that you jumped down from the second floor with the actors, so did you see the Red Specter that they mentioned?"
"Honestly, I was confused by them. At the time, there were screams everywhere inside the Haunted House, and there were strange noises coming from the speakers. Everyone was running, so I ran with them. "
No matter what Captain Cai asked, Chen Ge's answers were flawless.
"Alright, the three of you can leave for now. After I'm done with the recording, you can leave." After Chen Ge's group left, Captain Cai stared at the chair that Chen Ge had been sitting on. "This young man's mind is clear, and his answers are smooth. It feels like before I even ask the question, he already has the answer in mind. He doesn't look that old, but he's very calm. When he was talking to me, there was not even a ripple in his eyes. That's quite scary. No, I need to investigate this. There are no loopholes at all, so isn't that a loophole as well? "
Captain Cai opened the computer and logged into the police's internal database. This was the era of big data, so it was very easy to search for criminals.
After he entered Chen Ge's information, he was stunned when he saw the page.
The man was not only not a criminal, he was an outstanding citizen of Jiujiang. He had received the Good Samaritan Medal and the third-class Honor Medal from the Jiujiang Public Security Bureau. The scariest thing was that he had assisted the police in solving the case. Just the information about him alone was a whole page!
With his lips twitching, Captain Cai started to suspect whether Chen Ge was an undercover agent for the Jiujiang police. Such a ridiculous resume was rare even in Xin Hai.
"The interval between the information is very short. Does this man do nothing but wander around the different crime scenes every day?"
Captain Cai found this hard to accept. After looking through all the information, he took out his phone to make a call.
After a few rings, the call was picked up. An impatient voice came from the other end of the phone. "Ol 'Cai, if you have something to say, just say it. I'm so busy right now."
"Lee Zheng, ever since you were transferred to the Jiujiang Key Case Investigation Unit, your tone has changed!"
"I'm currently investigating a murder case, so I don't have time to argue with you. I'm hanging up. After I'm done, I'll treat you to a meal."
"Wait, it won't take up too much of your time." Captain Cai looked at the information on the webpage. "This time, I'm calling you because I want to ask you about someone."
"Who?"
"Chen Ge."
"Who? Say that again. "
"It's the boss of a haunted house in Jiujiang. His name is Chen Ge. I saw the information about the award that you gave him on our internal network."
"He went to Xin Hai?" Lee Zheng's voice did not sound right.
"Yes, we received a call at noon saying that someone jumped off the building at a haunted house, and we discovered that he was there."
"He was the one who called the police?"
"No, he was the one who jumped."
