This actor is full of tricks.

Lin Jue had lunch at the welfare home again. Liao Fan made some new friends during this time, but this time he didn't sit at the same table with Lin Jue. Instead, he ate with the other children.

Lin Jue was naturally eager to see this scene. He took his plate and sat down at Teacher Zhang's table. During the meal, he casually asked, "Sister Zhang, besides telling you he went on a trip, did Bi Zheng tell you anything else?"

"We just chatted about everyday things, nothing else. Haven't you been in contact with him recently?" Teacher Zhang answered while eating.

Lin Jue picked up a piece of broccoli and put it in his mouth: "I've been extremely busy with work lately, and I've had so many patients coming to see me that I've completely forgotten about it."

"Have any strange things happened at the welfare home recently? For example, do you always feel like there's something moving around you, or when you're sleeping at night, do you suddenly see a dark shadow flash past the window?"

Hearing Lin Jue's words, Teacher Zhang shuddered: "Dr. Zhou, I'm old and can't take a scare. Do you want to add another heart patient to your list? Besides, what does this have to do with Bi Zheng?"

"It's alright, it's alright, let's eat." Lin Jue ended the conversation and buried himself in his food.

After lunch, Lin Jue and Liao Fan agreed on a time to visit his mother's grave the day after tomorrow. After leaving the orphanage, he headed straight for Happy Paradise Amusement Park.

The amusement park's business is getting worse every day. Perhaps due to the impact of the last New World attack, the number of visitors has plummeted. The ticket sellers and security guards at the entrance are all asleep in their chairs, which shows just how bad the amusement park's business has been lately.

Lin Jue put the ticket money at the ticket counter and then walked directly into the amusement park.

There were fewer than ten people in the amusement park, and some of the rides that were open before had stopped operating. Fortunately, the circus was still open, but there was no longer a clown soliciting customers at the entrance.

Lin Jue easily found his way to the backstage dressing room of the circus, where he met the host, Brother Wang, who was smoking with a worried look on his face.

"Brother Wang," Lin Jue greeted him.

“Mr. Zhou.” Brother Wang stood up, wiped his hands, and took out a crumpled pack of Double Happiness cigarettes: “Here, have a smoke. The business at the park hasn’t been good lately, and we can barely afford cigarettes.”

"It's nothing." Lin Jue took the cigarette but didn't light it. He chatted with the other person for a few minutes before getting down to business. He handed over the pocket watch he had gotten from He Wen: "Brother Wang, have you seen the person in this photo?"

Brother Wang stared at the old photo in the pocket watch, frowning as he thought for a long time: "I don't remember it, but judging from the photo, it must be quite old. The amusement park must have been doing pretty well at that time, with so many people coming and going, I really can't remember."

This answer was within Lin Jue's expectations. Looking at the photo, it was taken at least ten years ago. Unless there were some special circumstances, who would bother to photograph a tourist's face?

He was inevitably a little disappointed, since this was the simplest way he could get clues about the hospital director; otherwise, he would have had to go to that mental hospital.

"Xiao Wang." Just then, the door to the waiting room was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with graying hair walked in. When he saw Lin Jue, the man's expression froze: "A guest has arrived?"

"Director, this is Mr. Zhou from the Inspection Department whom I told you about. Last time, when the circus was attacked by a group of strange people, it was Mr. Zhou and Captain Chen Fu who helped resolve the situation."

Brother Wang hurriedly went to greet him and introduced him to Lin Jue, saying, "This is our park director, Director Dong Jian. He's been managing the amusement park since Sun Jiankang's father passed away." Upon hearing Lin Jue's identity, Dong Jian immediately smiled and approached, extending his right hand: "Hello, hello, Mr. Zhou. I've heard about you from Xiao Wang before. You saved the lives of all our circus employees. I've always wanted to thank you in person, but I've never had the chance."

He spoke very enthusiastically, but to put it bluntly, it was because he believed that Lin Jue was a member of the Investigation Department. At this time, being able to establish a relationship with the Investigation Department was something everyone dreamed of.

Lin Jue extended his hand and shook hands with the other person: "President Dong, you're too kind. These are just things that our Inspection Department should do. There's no need to say thank you."

The filming location for that four-star script, "The Joker," might be this amusement park. We might need Dong Jian's help then. There's no need for him to put on airs. Since the other party was enthusiastic, he responded very positively.

"Haha, that won't do. How about this, let's exchange contact information, and I'll treat you and Captain Chen to dinner in a while." Dong Jian has the personality of a businessman; he's very goal-oriented.

“Okay.” Lin Jue gave Fang Hao’s phone number to him and replied, “There’s no need for dinner. If President Dong has time, I’ll take you to my house for dinner. I have a new chef at home whose cooking is top-notch.”

In his previous life in the entertainment industry, Lin Jue had already honed his eloquence. His specialty was speaking to people in a way that suited them, and he could keep the conversation flowing smoothly no matter who he was talking to.

Brother Wang waited quietly until the two finished their conversation before handing the pocket watch to Dong Jian: "Director, do you recognize the person in this photo?"

Dong Jian stared at the photo for a long time, a subtle change in his expression: "Where did you get this photo?"

This guy's reaction... it seems Dong Jian definitely knows something.

Lin Jue immediately replied, "I brought him here. The person in the photo may be related to something our Inspection Department is currently investigating. The background of the photo is your amusement park, so I came to ask about it."

"Is this what the Inspection Department wants to ask?" Dong Jian's expression was somewhat complicated. He asked again, and seeing Lin Jue nod, he stammered, "I know this person. His name is Qin Lang. According to him, he is a documentary director. I remember he came to our amusement park on December 5th, 2013 to film a documentary. This photo should have been taken at that time."

Wait a moment.

Was the director of the psychiatric hospital a documentary director? Was that a side job? Or did he later become a psychiatrist? But going from director to psychiatric hospital director, that's quite a career leap, isn't it?
Qin Lang

January 5, 13

Lin Jue opened his phone's memo app and wrote down two messages: "President Dong remembers the date so clearly? It's been almost eleven years already."

After so many years, Dong Jian still remembers the date so clearly, and he can even remember the dean's appearance and name. It seems that the dean must have left a very deep impression on Dong Jian.

Dong Jian gave a wry smile: "Because that was the seventh day after the fog descended. I counted down the days one by one during the early stages of the fog, which is why I remember it so clearly."
