Staring at the man in the surveillance video, Chen Ge connected all his abnormal behaviors together and slowly clenched his fingers.
Without saying a word, he stood in the Comprehensive Management Office, took out his cell phone and called Captain Li of the Xicheng Police Station.
"Uncle Sanbao, I want to call the police!"
"First, the police phone number is 110, it's no use calling me; second, call me Director Li." The phone was connected after two rings, and Captain Li's hoarse voice came from the other end of the receiver.
"I found the last person who escaped from Ping An Apartment! He came to New Century Park!"
"Are you sure?" Upon hearing this, Captain Li's voice changed.
"It must be him. You must not drive the police car over here, so as not to alert him."
"I'll be there in fifteen minutes!"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ge held the phone, his eyes still fixed on the surveillance screen.
The staff nearby noticed something was wrong and quickly called Uncle Xu over.
"What's going on?" After a while, Uncle Xu came in with a water bottle and said, "You can't even eat properly, Xiao Chen, why are you running here instead of going back to your haunted house?"
He also walked over to the surveillance camera and saw Chen Ge holding a cell phone in his hand, so he asked tentatively: "Who were you talking to just now?"
"police."
Chen Ge didn't look back, his eyes moved between the surveillance screens: "I estimate they will be here within fifteen minutes."
"Police?! Why didn't you discuss this with me?" Uncle Xu's voice suddenly rose: "The park has a complete plan to deal with natural disasters and malicious incidents..."
"Uncle Xu." Chen Ge turned around and interrupted Uncle Xu. His eyes were calm, but there was an indescribable creepy feeling in his pupils: "Someone wants to kill me!"
As soon as he said this, the integrated control room fell silent instantly, and all employees looked in his direction.
"Chen Ge, you've been staying in the haunted house for the whole time. Are you mentally stimulated by something?" Uncle Xu stopped calling him Xiao Chen and called him by his name: "What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight!"
"I assisted the police in solving the Ping An Apartment murder case five years ago, but there is still one murderer involved in the murder case five years ago who is still at large."
When Chen Ge said this, Uncle Xu understood: "You said that person sneaked into the paradise? Is he planning to take revenge on you?"
"I thought he would flee to another province, but who knew he would be so bold." Chen Ge pointed at the man on the surveillance screen. "This tourist behaved strangely. He wore long sleeves and a cap, covering his face tightly. The weather was not cold, but he kept both hands in his pockets. Even when he was smoking or drinking, he only used his right hand. His left hand never came out of his pocket."
"What does this prove? Maybe it's just someone's personal quirk." Uncle Xu put down the bottle and closed the door of the comprehensive management office.
"The suspect who is on the run is called Zhang Peng. His height and build are almost identical to the man in the surveillance video. The most important thing is that there is a peony tattooed on the back of Zhang Peng's left hand."
"peony?"
"When the peony blossoms, wealth and honor will come naturally. That man is a desperate gambler who has lost everything."
"You mean he's afraid of exposing his tattoo, so he keeps his left hand in his pocket?" Uncle Xu also became nervous: "Is it possible that he just has a skin disease?"
"I have other evidence." Chen Ge switched the surveillance footage. "After entering the park, he only played the Ferris wheel, and he played it three times. Do you know what this means?"
"What does this prove?" Uncle Xu couldn't keep up with Chen Ge's pace.
"The Ferris wheel is the highest point in the entire park. He was looking down at the park and planning his escape route." Chen Ge slowed down the surveillance: "When Xu Wan and I left the horror house and went to the cafeteria, we found him sneaking up on the horror house. He was wandering around the haunted house all morning, but he didn't come over. He waited until the guards left before approaching. This is not what a normal tourist would do."
"That's right." Uncle Xu nodded, feeling that what Chen Ge said made sense: "Then why did he approach the haunted house when no one was around?"
Chen Ge tapped the table with his fingers. "Put yourself in his shoes. If I want to kill a haunted house owner in the safest way, I will hide in the haunted house in advance, and when the haunted house stops operating for prop maintenance, I will surprise him and give him a fatal blow. The environment in the haunted house is complicated and easy to hide. It is also convenient to hide the body after killing someone. As long as the bloodstains are dealt with, it will probably be the next day when the body is discovered."
Uncle Xu felt a chill down his spine after hearing what Chen Ge said. A rough scenario had already emerged in his mind: "This is really scary."
"It's not that scary, but it almost happened!" Chen Ge retracted his gaze and slowly loosened his clenched fists: "Fortunately he was too impatient, and fortunately I have encountered many strange things recently, and my nerves have been highly tense, so I found him."
"Where is he now? Do I need to evacuate the tourists?" Uncle Xu also realized the seriousness of the matter.
"He left the park after I found him. I hadn't watched the surveillance video at the time and couldn't confirm my guess, so I didn't stop him."
"You did a great job. If the suspect went crazy in the park, it would probably cause a lot of chaos." Uncle Xu took a sip of water and said to the staff next to him, "The police will be here soon, so everyone cooperate."
Ten minutes later, the door of the general management office was pushed open, and three men in plain clothes entered the room. The leader was Li Sanbao, holding a notebook. "Where's Chen Ge? Let me see your surveillance video."
With the help of the staff, Captain Li compared the man in the surveillance video with the photos in the public security database, and finally determined that the two were the same person!
"You've done a great job again." Captain Li hit Chen Ge on the shoulder, took out his cell phone to contact the city branch and report the situation. After communicating, the two sides decided to split into two groups, one to track down the suspect secretly, and the other to set up surveillance around the New Century Park.
"Zhang Peng is a very dangerous person. If he spots you, you must be careful. There is a high chance that he will come back. I suggest that you do not stay in the haunted house for the time being."
After Captain Li finished speaking, the entire General Management Office staff felt a little uneasy. On the contrary, Chen Ge, the person involved, was very calm: "When I'm not here, Xiaowan can't keep the haunted house open. Once the haunted house is closed, Zhang Peng will definitely find something wrong. He is so cunning that he probably won't take the bait."
"So what you mean is that you plan to act as bait in the haunted house?" Captain Li frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit risky.
"Don't worry, if he dares to enter my haunted house, I can make sure he never comes back."
