"Where is this cat going? Is this its den?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously as she watched the white cat in front of her move away from her according to Gu Chen's gaze.

Gu Chen frowned and said softly: "This white cat may live somewhere in the village, but it must have other places to live."

"What we are looking for now is the source of the blood on its thigh."

"Okay." Lu Weiwei still doesn't know why this perfectly white wild cat is covered in bloodstains.

But the most important thing right now is to find traces of Zhang Quan, so any suspicious clue here is worth investigating.

Since Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha were watching from the other side of the village, Gu Chen didn't need to worry too much.

So Gu Chen decided to take Lu Weiwei towards the mountains and forests.

Since this place is close to the mountains, the jungle is overgrown with weeds and it is very inconvenient to walk.

But wild cats don't have to worry about size and can walk freely among these weeds.

Therefore, it didn't take long for Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei to lose the direction of the white cat.

"Junior Brother Gu, I think we have lost track." Lu Weiwei stood there and looked back. She was already some distance away from the village.

Seeing that if he walked further in, he might get lost in the forest, so Lu Weiwei quickly reminded Gu Chen.

Gu Chen looked around and couldn't see the direction of the white cat due to his blocked vision.

But Gu Chen had a master's level of observation, and soon he could vaguely smell a rotten smell through his sensitive sense of smell.

"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen sniffing non-stop, Lu Weiwei asked him out of curiosity:

"What do you smell?"

"The smell of rot." Gu Chen thought for a moment, then continued to add: "There is also the smell of blood."

"The taste of blood?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up and she quickly said:

"Could it be that this is the blood that stained the white wildcat red? Could it be that Zhou... huh!"

Before Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen suddenly covered her lips.

Afterwards, Gu Chen quickly lowered Lu Weiwei's body and squatted in the grass to observe secretly.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei seemed to understand what Gu Chen meant. There might be some movement around her.

So Lu Weiwei quickly followed the guidance of Gu Chen's eyes and began to observe the situation ahead.

Not long after, I heard the cry of a wild cat, but the wild cat just meowed a few times and then walked directly into the distance.

Seeing that there was no other movement around, Gu Chen let go of Lu Weiwei's mouth.

Lu Weiwei also leaned into Gu Chen's ear and whispered, "Are there any wild animals around?"

"Probably not." Gu Chen was not very sure and could only analyze and say:

"Logically speaking, this place also belongs to the Jiangnan Lake Scenic Area. However, I heard from people before that some nationally protected birds are found in this mountain forest from time to time."

"But no one has ever heard of a large beast like that."

"If it's not a ferocious beast, then what on earth died there? Otherwise, how could the wild cat be contaminated with these things?" Lu Weiwei didn't quite understand.

But an ominous premonition has already come to mind.

Gu Chen took a deep breath, pulled out the mechanical baton from his waist, slowly stood up straight, and groped forward.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei could only draw out her mechanical baton and follow closely behind Gu Chen to provide protection for Gu Chen's rear.

The two of them moved forward slowly, and soon Gu Chen stopped.

Because Lu Weiwei was staring at Gu Chen's back and flanks, she didn't see Gu Chen's movements clearly, so her body directly hit Gu Chen's back.

"Shush!" Gu Chen did not remind Lu Weiwei, but Lu Weiwei made a shushing movement with her right index finger deep inside her body.

When he saw Gu Chen standing there blankly, staring straight ahead.

Only then did Lu Weiwei realize that there seemed to be no threat around her, so she stood up slowly and poked her head out from the side of Gu Chen's body.

"this……"

When Lu Weiwei saw this scene in front of her, her whole heart couldn't help but tremble.

A pair of human legs were exposed among a pile of weeds.

Obviously, this person was deliberately hidden here by the weeds.

Seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei hurriedly walked to the position next to Gu Chen, and soon smelled a bloody and rotten smell.

"It turns out that the blood on the white cat's thigh was stained from here?" Lu Weiwei said weakly, not sure.

Gu Chen didn't say anything, but he seemed to have an answer in his heart.

Gu Chen took two steps forward and used the mechanical baton in his hand to push away the weeds above.

The image of Zhang Quan lying there soon appeared in front of the two of them.

"Is it...is it Zhang Quan?" Seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei also exclaimed.

It feels like Zhang Quan, whom everyone has been searching for, died in the woods behind the uninhabited village.

This surprised Lu Weiwei, and she quickly took two steps forward to confirm the identity of the deceased.

"That's right, it's Zhang Quan. How could he die here?"

"Take photos of the scene first." Gu Chen took a deep breath and reminded him.

"Oh." Lu Weiwei reacted, quickly took out her mobile phone, and began to take pictures of the body from various angles.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, took out his mobile phone and dialed Officer Wang's phone number directly.

After a while, the call was connected, and Gu Chen said bluntly: "Brother Wang, we have found Zhang Quan, it's just a corpse. We are currently at the back of the uninhabited village."

"I will send you a specific location. Well, that's it."

After the words fell, Gu Chen hung up the phone directly.

Lu Weiwei also took photos of the scene from various angles.

At this moment, Gu Chen began to conduct a detailed inspection based on the situation around Zhang Quan.

Soon Gu Chen discovered that there was a place ahead, and the weeds on both sides seemed to have been squeezed.

Gu Chen pointed to the area ahead and said, "This is where the murderer came to Zhang Quan's death."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Upon seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly took photos of the walking route using Zhang Quan’s corpse as the subject.

Gu Chen squatted in front of Zhang Quan's body, put on gloves and a mask, and began to conduct an on-site inspection of Zhang Quan's body.

After some operations, Gu Chen took a step back, stood up, and expressed his opinion:

"There are not many abnormal objects in the gaps between Zhang Quan's fingers, and there are no traces of fighting."

"But the fatal part of Zhang Quan's death was his neck. Someone cut his neck open with a sharp knife and he died of excessive blood loss."

"Besides, maybe Zhang Quan himself knows this person." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also made her own judgment based on the situation at the scene:

"Junior Brother Gu, look, Zhang Quan's state of death does not look like there were signs of a fight, but this knife was almost fatal."

"Judging from the knife edge, the opponent should be standing directly in front of Zhang Quan, and directly cut Zhang Quan's throat while Zhang Quan was not paying attention."

"That's right." Seeing that Lu Weiwei had clearly seen the core of the problem, Gu Chen could only agree:

"This murderer may be someone Zhang Quan knew, and judging from the state of Zhang Quan's body, the time of death should be the night before yesterday."

"Moreover, the two were communicating face to face, and Zhang Quan was attacked without any precautions."

"Who is so cruel? Is it because he wants to kill people and silence them?" Seeing the scene in front of her, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but complain:

"Could it be that Shangguan Wu? This guy doesn't look like a good guy at first glance. He has always been at odds with Hu Zhe, who plays in the band."

"Perhaps he was the one who had Hu Zhe killed, but he felt that he was getting into trouble, so he asked Zhang Quan to go out and hide."

"But I was afraid that Zhang Quan would reveal the secret, so I just didn't do anything and killed Zhang Quan directly."

Looking up at Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei said again: "What do you think, Junior Brother Gu?"

"It's hard to say now." Gu Chen shook his head and denied it, and then said:

"If the murderer is Shangguan Wu, what about the other person? According to the driver of the garbage truck, when we met on Wutong Road, there were obviously two people."

"This shows that if one of them is Zhang Quan, then the other must be his accomplice."

"Gu Chen." While Gu Chen was analyzing the case, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also traced the location based on the address sent by Gu Chen.

The two people quickly arrived at the scene and looked at Zhang Quan's body in front of them.

Officer Wang frowned and looked horrified: "Why is this Zhang Quan dead? I wanted to catch him here, but it was too late."

"Did Zhang Quan's accomplices do it? Didn't the garbage truck driver say that two people appeared at that time, one stopped him and asked him to keep his distance from the garbage truck, while the other went to rummage through the garbage truck."

Yuan Shasha also expressed her opinion.

Gu Chen nodded silently and analyzed: "From the current point of view, Zhang Quan's death time was the night before yesterday."

"Moreover, Zhang Quan was scratched on the front of his neck by a sharp blade, resulting in excessive blood loss and death."

"Being able to communicate with Zhang Quan at close range and kill him by surprise can only be accomplished by acquaintances around Zhang Quan."
