As the sky grew brighter, the crisis was temporarily relieved.

But the psychological shadow left on the three of them last night also lingers on a few people.

Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Wang felt that he had saved a small life, but when he thought about it, a few people just came here to find Zhou Xiaotong's whereabouts, how could they get themselves killed?

"No, we can't just let this matter go. We need to think about it in the long term." Officer Wang couldn't swallow this breath.

Lu Weiwei said indifferently: "No matter how angry you, Mr. Wang, are, you have to leave this forest, right?"

"Okay, I don't want to stay in this place for a minute anymore." Officer Wang stood up and twisted his whole body habitually. Suddenly, he found a pain in many places, and he complained again and again:

"After staying here all night, I feel like my bones are about to fall apart."

"You also said that the two of us slept soundly last night, but Junior Brother Gu didn't sleep all night and stayed with us to protect our safety. That's all, Junior Brother Gu didn't even say he was tired, but you, Old Wang, did

Called first." Lu Weiwei sneered at Officer Wang's complaints.

Gu Chen also interrupted: "Don't say anything now. I want to see the guy's evacuation route last night, and then we leave here."

"What did you say? Gu Chen, are you kidding?" Hearing that Gu Chen was still going to track that person, Officer Wang's heart skipped a beat.

But Gu Chen had a determined look on his face: "We must find out about that guy. Now that the sky is getting brighter, it's just right that we can look for clues about him."

"With better luck, we may be able to find some important breakthroughs. In this way, when we return, we may be able to use these clues to find out the identity of that person."

Although Gu Chen's words are a bit idealistic, this is also the best solution at present.

If he hadn't been worried about the safety of his colleagues last night, with Gu Chen's courage, Gu Chen would have followed him to find out what happened no matter what.

It can be said that Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang indirectly became Gu Chen's scapegoats.

Of course, a drag bottle can sometimes be a strong support.

If we met a gang last night, then the other party would never evacuate so easily when they knew that Gu Chen was alone. Instead, they would choose to deal with Gu Chen in the dense forest.

But when the three of them formed a team, they didn't dare to act rashly.

So, sometimes it's so subtle.

Gu Chen missed the opportunity to chase the suspicious person last night, so when daytime comes, Gu Chen will not let go of this opportunity.

After a while of discussion, the three of them put on their equipment and prepared to follow Gu Chen to search for clues.

Gu Chen first arrived at the place six meters away from him based on the direction he judged last night.

At this moment, many surrounding plants have been severely trampled. It can be seen that someone stayed here for a long time last night, causing many weeds to fail to stand up.

This is just like the area where everyone rested last night. There are already many weeds that cannot stand upright.

Gu Chen then searched all the way according to the opponent's evacuation route.

Due to the dark sky and heavy fog last night, visibility was extremely low.

And the other party didn't dare to turn on the strong light rashly.

Perhaps at a certain moment, the other party turned on a weak light source to illuminate his feet, but this would definitely bring a lot of inconvenience to his actions.

Therefore, there will not be too many scruples along the way, and there will be many signs of over-trampling of vegetation.

Because Gu Chen's team formed a vertical queue last night, that is, Gu Chen was in front, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were behind, but everyone was stepping on each other's footsteps and moving forward step by step.

Therefore, during walking, a relatively narrow trace will be formed.

The other party also followed this trace to find it. They may have followed the footprints when they came, but when they retreated, they did not dare to use the light source to illuminate themselves excessively, which resulted in many traces that deviated from the footprints of Gu Chen's team.

"This guy really evacuated from here." Gu Chen confirmed his judgment after squatting down and carefully checking the relevant area.

Lu Weiwei thought for a while and was horrified: "Could it be that that guy last night was really standing six meters away from us, motionless for nearly an hour?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly and said with relief: "This guy is indeed a good hand compared to his endurance."

"We are sitting cross-legged in the haystack, and we all feel exhausted, but this guy has been standing here for more than an hour, which consumes a lot of energy."

"But in order not to be discovered by us, this guy held on for more than an hour, until strong winds began to blow around, causing the surrounding weeds to rub against each other and make more noise."

"Then he escaped with the help of friction."

"It's so abominable." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang gritted his teeth with hatred and couldn't help but say:

"Gu Chen, don't say anything. Hurry up and chase him. Even if you can't find him, at least you need to know where the guy is escaping from."

"I'll try my best." Gu Chen was not sure whether he could find the other party's evacuation traces.

So, after a short rest on the spot, the three of them continued to form a column formation and began to search with Gu Chen.

Since the line of sight was blocked last night, the walking traces left by the other party were also quite obvious.

Gu Chen searched all the way without spending much energy.

It wasn't until Gu Chen came under a big tree that he involuntarily stopped and started looking around.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing Gu Chen's nervous expression, Lu Weiwei also asked quickly.

"It's terrible." Gu Chen said.

"Is it... scary?" Lu Weiwei looked around and asked with confusion: "What's wrong? Have you found any traces of the other party?"

"No, Senior Sister Lu, what range can you see from this angle?" Gu Chen asked a question.

"What areas can you see?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused, but she still followed Gu Chen's prompts and continued to observe her surroundings.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After a while, Lu Weiwei’s eyes stopped at a wide area, and she couldn’t help but be surprised:

"Isn't that the place where we found the empty mineral water bottles last night?"

"Yes, that's where we found the mineral water bottle." Upon seeing this, Officer Wang quickly agreed.

Gu Chen nodded silently and said slowly: "It can be seen that when we gathered in that area to study the empty mineral water bottles, the guy on the other side stayed in our current area and secretly observed us."

"He can see almost everything here, but he can use this big tree as cover."

"Oh my god." She felt more and more evil the more she heard it, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but shrink her neck and said in fear:

"Isn't this guy too much of a thief? He has been following us, but we didn't notice him."

"It seems that I was right not to provoke him last night. If I provoke him, I might suffer a loss." Officer Wang couldn't help but be surprised when he thought of this.

You know, what everyone is facing is definitely a jungle master.

Now that I think about it, I am really grateful for the darkness and fog last night.

"Stop talking about this, come with me." Gu Chen continued searching based on the traces.

Since the current walking traces were too obvious, it was not difficult for Gu Chen to find them. However, in order not to get lost along the way, Gu Chen still marked them along the way.

But with last night's experience, Gu Chen did not use vines to tie them up, but directly took out a police dagger and carved walking marks on the relevant branches.

The three of them didn't know how long they had been walking, but they felt that the sun began to shine through the gaps in the woods, and the fog gradually dissipated.

When Gu Chen and the others walked around according to each other's traces and came to a spacious path, Gu Chen discovered that the jungle cabin was not far from him.

"It seems we are back to where we started." Gu Chen said as he looked at the jungle hut.

Lu Weiwei looked at the marks on the ground, then looked at the direction of the jungle hut, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said:

"The other party may have been monitoring us from the beginning. Moreover, I remember very clearly where we entered the jungle hut. There was a cedar forest over there."

"And this guy entered the dense forest, less than a few dozen meters away from us. He may have been hiding in the woods and observed us secretly."

"Then he watched us come out of the jungle hut and continued to follow us, destroying our markers along the way, and finally arrived at the location of our confrontation."

"It seems that this guy is not simple." After listening to Lu Weiwei's analysis, Officer Wang was frightened and said:

"This guy is a dangerous person, but at least he is following us late at night and obviously knows our movements."

After a pause, Officer Wang looked up at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and continued:

"I suspect that guy is one of these people we came into contact with."

"What do you mean?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"The one-eyed boss of the fast food restaurant, and that brother Zhang Da, as well as his sworn enemy Zhuang Qiang, and Zhuang Qiang's apprentice, that young man."

"Except for a few of them who are serious suspects, I can't think of anyone else for the time being."

Just as Officer Wang was speaking, Gu Chen also took out his cell phone.

Because he was afraid of exposing his target last night, Gu Chen muted his cell phone.

Only then did I realize that there were several missed calls, and the caller was Yuan Shasha.

So Gu Chen quickly called back. After a while, the call was connected, and Yuan Shasha also said hello quickly:

"Senior Brother Gu, did you finally answer the phone?"

"What's wrong, Xiao Yuan?" Gu Chen also asked curiously.

"Nothing." Yuan Shasha on the other end of the phone also smiled habitually and explained:

"You arranged for me to send Zhou Xiaotong's father away. I have completed the task. When I came back, I found that you were not there, so I called you to get back to you. I found that your phone number was connected, but no one answered."

"I don't know what's going on at your end. I know that it might be inconvenient for you to answer the phone and you have muted the phone. So, it took me a long time until dawn before I called you again. But

Still no one got through.”
