There were several used cotton swabs, a bottle of mineral water and an unopened bread on the wooden table.
The young policeman sitting at the other end of the table put down his recorder, took out his mobile phone, and opened a folder: "Can you see if it's this person?"
Chen Ge took a look at the photo. Several men walked out of the hotel arm in arm. The tallest man among them had a peony tattoo on the back of his hand.
"Yes, that's him!"
"When the peony blossoms, wealth and honor will come naturally. This man is called Zhang Peng, a gambler who owes hundreds of thousands of dollars in loan sharking and is suspected of burglary and robbery." The police continued to flip through the photos: "Take a look at this photo again."
The following photos were taken from a surveillance video. After zooming in several times, Chen Ge could see clearly that there was a fat man with a panicked look sitting in the driver's seat of the van. He looked about 80% similar to the short and fat man in the apartment building.
"Looks familiar."
"Based on your description, we compared it with the public security database. The driver in the picture is Feng Chunlei, from another province. He drove under the influence and fled the scene. His complex is extremely bad." The young policeman put away his phone and sorted out the information in his hand: "I have finished taking the statement here, but you can't leave for the time being. The criminal investigation team of the city branch will come over to interrogate you in more detail. I hope you can cooperate with the investigation of the case. After all, you are the only eyewitness."
"It's my duty." Chen Ge sat in the bed. Only now did his mood slowly calm down.
A few hours ago, the Xicheng Police Station received a report that a suspected murder had occurred in Xijiao Ping'an Apartment. The police took immediate action and met Chen Ge on the road near Ping'an Apartment. After conducting a basic interrogation, the Xicheng Police Station split into two groups.
One team followed Chen Ge to the wooden house in the back mountain to hunt down Wang Qi; the other team went into the woods to search for the tenants of Ping An Apartment.
After passing through the dense forest, when Chen Ge came to the wooden house again, there was only a pool of blood on the ground, but Wang Qi was nowhere to be seen.
After the police from Xicheng Police Station discovered fresh bloodstains and found a large amount of the deceased's clothes in the wooden house, they finally believed what Chen Ge said. They immediately asked for help from the Municipal Branch, mobilized more police forces, and closed the mountain for a search overnight.
As a key witness, Chen Ge was closely protected. The police originally decided to send him directly to the police station. However, in order to complete the task of arranging the black phone, Chen Ge told the police that there were more important clues hidden in the Ping'an Apartment building and strongly requested that the statement be taken in the Ping'an Apartment.
Then the scene above happened. Under the protection of two policemen inside and outside the door, Chen Ge lay peacefully in the haunted house, waiting for the mission time to pass.
At around three o'clock in the morning, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged policeman in his forties walked in. He took off his police hat, grabbed the bottle of mineral water on the table and took a few gulps.
"Uncle Sanbao, this water is mine." Chen Ge looked at the man who came in and climbed up from the bed.
The man's full name is Li Sanbao, he is the deputy director of Xicheng Police Station. Coincidentally, he was the one who was responsible for investigating the disappearance of Chen Ge's parents. At that time, Chen Ge was desperate and anxious, thanks to this uncle who ran around and helped Chen Ge a lot.
"You bastard, do you think you can call me Sanbao? I've told you so many times, either call me Director Li or Captain Li." Li Sanbao put down the water bottle with an unconcealable smile on his face: "Forget it, since you have made a great contribution this time, I won't bother with you."
"Has the person been caught?" Chen Ge stood up suddenly.
"The guys in the criminal investigation team are no pushovers. Not only did they arrest Wang Qi, but they also arrested several other tenants in the apartment building. Now only Zhang Peng has not been brought to justice."
"Very good!"
"The body of Wang Qi's fiancee has been found and is being handled by the forensic doctor. If you have any questions, please ask them now. I have other things to do later." Captain Li came here just to reassure Chen Ge.
"Zhang Peng and Feng Chunlei are both fugitives. Are the remaining two also fugitives?" Chen Ge was not polite and asked directly what he was wondering.
"The woman is Zhang Peng's wife. At most, it's a crime of harboring someone. The landlord's situation is a bit complicated. He is just a caregiver, but he was tempted by the money, so he teamed up with a few others to occupy the old man's apartment. However, he did not abuse the old man. At least we didn't see any obvious scars on the old man." Captain Li put on his police hat: "Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing." Chen Ge imitated Heshan's simple smile and said, "He risked his life to help the police catch the fugitive suspect. I heard there is a reward for it."
"I'll send the banner to your home once the case is concluded. See you later."
"Fuck, hey!"
Seeing Chen Ge's frustration, the young policeman next to him laughed: "Captain Li, you are just kidding. If Wang Qi is really the murderer of the murder case five years ago, then the reward you can get should be more than 30,000 yuan, but this money will be paid by the local financial department. In addition, the old man in the apartment building once issued a reward in his own name, and anyone who can provide key clues will be rewarded 5,000 yuan."
"There really is a bounty?" Chen Ge's lips curled up when he heard there was a cash reward. "I was just asking casually. Actually, my original intention of doing this brave act was not for money. It is the responsibility of every citizen to make my own contribution to the harmonious and stable development of our city."
The young policeman smiled and did not refute, standing guard at the door diligently.
Later, Chen Ge was interrogated by the city branch criminal investigation team. After two sets of records, the Xicheng police station wanted to send him home, but he made up all kinds of excuses to complete the task and stayed in the haunted house. Sometimes he wanted to go to room 408 to get his backpack back, and sometimes he wanted to take the police to the third floor to see the second murder scene. It was not until six o'clock in the morning that he got on the police car and left after the black phone prompted that the trial task was completed.
Looking at the scenery rapidly receding on both sides, Chen Ge did not feel sleepy at all. He secretly took out his black mobile phone and began to check the mission rewards.
"If the player arrives at the mission site within the specified time, successfully finds the murderer, and survives until dawn, the Midnight Escape Trial mission will be completed! The new horror scene Midnight Escape has been unlocked, and players can freely control all the mechanisms in this scene in the scene interface!"
"The completion of the trial mission exceeds 90%, and you will receive the hidden item of this mission - Wang Qi's missing person notice."
"Wang Qi's missing person notice (grudge value 11): Every day I look for the person I killed. I killed her over and over again, but she always seems to find me. Every morning when I open my eyes, her things always appear in my mind. I clearly built her into the wall, but she seems to have entered my heart..."
