As if thinking of something good, Lizhi licked his lips, a little excited.
She couldn't wait to walk into the lounge, took out her lipstick from her purse, and was about to touch up her makeup when her cell phone rang.
"Strange number?"
Lizhi threw the makeup box into her bag, feeling a little angry. The good atmosphere was ruined by this phone call.
She tried hard to adjust her emotions and make her voice and tone sound as normal as possible.
"What a bummer."
Too lazy to continue putting on makeup, Lizhi answered the phone and walked towards the door of the recording studio.
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" The sweet voice makes people feel like they have drunk a sip of iced fruit wine, refreshing and comfortable, with a hint of drunkenness.
"Number five is dead. I need you to come to the 24th floor of Building 3 in Fanghuayuan." The person on the other end of the phone was obviously not confused by Lizhi's voice and went straight to the point.
"Dead?" Lizhi's still bleeding fingers slowly clenched, and blood dripped onto the pink case of the phone.
"No matter what Number Five said to you, no matter what the relationship between you two is, come here immediately."
"Now?" Lizhi hesitated. She held the phone in one hand and opened the wooden door of the recording studio with the other. The light shone into the dark corridor and it was very quiet outside.
The door opened a crack, and Lizhi asked one more question, "His death has nothing to do with me, why do you want me to go to the 24th floor?"
"If you don't want to die, come here immediately!" The voice on the phone came outside through the gap in the open door.
"Okay." The woman opened the wooden door completely. She had just taken half a step out of the recording studio with her bag on her back when she saw a ferocious hammer coming towards her without warning.
She didn't even have time to scream before she was knocked back into the recording studio.
"ah!"
The pain took a few seconds to reach the brain, and a belated scream was heard in the recording studio.
Chen Ge said nothing, picked up the phone from the ground and put it to his ear.
"Number 12?" A cold and hoarse voice came from the other end of the microphone. The other party used a falsetto, but even though it was a falsetto, Chen Ge still felt a little familiar.
Chen Ge wanted to continue eavesdropping on that person's voice, but the other party soon realized something and decisively hung up the phone.
"I only heard three words, but this is also a major gain." Standing in the middle of the dark corridor, Chen Ge held Lizhi's mobile phone with a smile on his face.
All members of the Ghost Story Association are unaware of each other's identities, but the person who can call Lizhi is different. He seems to know the relationship between Lizhi and No. 5, and reminds Lizhi to leave at the critical moment.
"The owner of this voice is most likely the hidden president who is secretly controlling the overall situation."
Chen Ge compared all the voices he had heard in the Ghost Story Association and was sure that the owner of this voice was not the first man sitting on the left side of the table, nor was it number five or ten.
"If we narrow the scope further and catch him, the Ghost Story Association will probably be in disarray."
Putting Lizhi's phone on the seat, Chen Ge stood guard at the door and called Captain Yan.
Captain Yan and his team responded much faster than the Xicheng Police Station. It only took a dozen minutes for a police car to arrive.
Chen Ge put away the skull crusher and suggested that the police search where Lizhi lived, and then told her about the murder of her husband.
Several people were taken away for investigation. At the Municipal Branch, Chen Ge met Captain Yan again. This slightly plump policeman looked much more haggard.
"Captain Yan, long time no see."
"Why do I feel like I see you every day?" Captain Yan looked at Chen Ge with a headache. He suddenly remembered some of the things Captain Li said about Chen Ge in private, and his head suddenly ached.
But he couldn't blame Chen Ge. He was the one who said that he would not let justice be disappointed. He was also the one who personally gave the Security Medal to Chen Ge and encouraged Chen Ge to continue to maintain public security and stability. He dug the hole himself and now he had to jump into it with tears in his eyes.
"Xiao Chen, you did a good job!" Captain Yan's smile was a little forced: "But there was something wrong with the way you handled it. You were too impulsive."
"I understand. It was mainly because I saw them committing atrocities against innocent people that I couldn't control myself." Chen Ge did not deny his impulse, but he would never admit that the damage was not caused by himself: "Captain Yan, the fact that the carjacker fell into a coma after entering the dense forest had nothing to do with me. I deliberately avoided his vital parts when I attacked him. After he fell into a coma for unknown reasons, I was the one who dragged him out from the depths of the woods."
Captain Yan nodded and said, "I heard from those two taxi drivers. If you hadn't shown up in time, the consequences would have been disastrous."
The driver's gratitude to Chen Ge was genuine, and Captain Yan could see that.
"Then can I leave now?" Chen Ge's haunted house will begin a large-scale promotion tomorrow, and there will definitely be trouble if he is not there.
"Don't worry, there are still many things we need to ask you. You can only leave after completing the entire transcript. This is the rule." Captain Yan and the other two policemen asked Chen Ge all kinds of details related to the case at the same time. Chen Ge, who had already thought about what to say, was able to handle it with ease.
What should be said was described in detail, and what should not be said was treated as if it never happened. In addition, Chen Ge also provided Captain Yan with an important piece of information.
The surveillance video of Haiming’s apartment may also have captured the appearance of accomplice No. 5.
At 3:30 in the morning, Captain Yan and his team saw that Chen Ge's condition was too bad, so they sent Chen Ge back to New Century Park.
After opening the door of the haunted house, Chen Ge's depressed look regained its composure.
Ever since he ate Zhang Ya's candy, he felt that he didn't need to sleep for too long and could still maintain high energy.
This is his secret and he won't tell anyone.
"It's better to keep a low profile in the future. I can handle it, but Captain Yan and the others may not be able to handle it."
Lying in the lounge, Chen Ge held the white cat aside, and fell asleep without taking off his clothes.
At eight o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge was awakened by a phone call. After answering the call, he found that it was from Gu Feiyu.
Yesterday, after Xiao Gu followed the tourists in to experience it, he said he didn't want to work here at all. Money is important, but you only have one life.
Later, he couldn't resist Chen Ge's persuasion and agreed to try again today.
"We are short of an actor for the midnight escape scene, so we can only let Xiao Gu take over."
After changing his clothes and washing up, Chen Ge ran to the entrance of the park to bring Xiao Gu in.
"Brother Chen, I don't think I have a talent for scaring people. I thought about it all night last night. You found a job for me and you don't look down on me, but I can't ruin the reputation of your haunted house." Xiao Gu is a down-to-earth person.
"It's okay if it's not scary. I can teach you." Chen Ge looked Xiao Gu up and down: "Come in with me and try on your work clothes first."
He brought Xiao Gu into the dressing room. When Xiao Gu saw the blood-stained doctor's uniform and the human skin mask made of a human face, he felt sick.
"Here, there's this hammer. Show me how to swing it a few times."
