Following the woman's guidance, Gu Chen made a rough observation of the surrounding environment.
To escape to Meishan, you can take the trails on both sides of the road, but the young woman pointed out a gravel trail on the left.
Gu Chen didn't quite understand, so he hurriedly asked her: "Are you so convinced? What is your basis?"
"The basis? The basis is that this Mei Shiqiang often hides in the mountains with others and plays cards. Especially during that time when your police were the strictest in catching gamblers, they often did this. This is also the case with the workers who heard that they were playing cards at my house.
Said."
After all, the young woman's family owns a supermarket, and the supermarket is a place with a dense flow of people.
It's not surprising that all kinds of gossip gather here.
Gu Chen still agreed with the young woman's opinion. It was a good choice to at least let the people who were most familiar with the surrounding environment make the judgment.
So Gu Chen asked again: "I still don't know what your name is?"
"My name is Xu Xiaotong, you can call me Xiaotong."
"You just graduated, right?" Officer Wang also said jokingly, after all, Xu Xiaotong looks like a baby face.
Xu Xiaotong nodded and said, "I just graduated a year ago and am currently unemployed at home, helping my dad with the supermarket business."
"So that's it?" After hearing what Xu Xiaotong said, I felt that Xu Xiaotong was still a chic girl. Officer Wang stopped saying anything and directly suggested: "If you don't have any objections, how about following Xu Xiaotong's opinions?"
"Okay." Gu Chen didn't mind, he had exactly what he wanted.
Lu Weiwei also said indifferently: "The main thing is to find Mei Shiqiang, it doesn't matter which way we take."
"Then we have to go to the supermarket to buy some water and food. After all, we may still be in the mountains at noon." Yuan Shasha was thoughtful.
The main reason is that it is not good to be hungry in the mountains at noon, and everyone eats breakfast very early, which means that it is easy to get hungry quickly at noon.
When Xu Xiaotong heard this, he immediately turned his backpack to his chest, patted it and said, "No, my dad has prepared dry food for me, which is enough for the few of us to eat from noon to evening."
"Are there any snacks?" Lu Weiwei asked: "It would be best to have shrimp-flavored potato chips. I can buy them from you."
"Haha." Xu Xiaotong shook his head: "There are no shrimp-flavored potato chips, but I brought a lot of chocolate."
"Isn't chocolate the favorite of Junior Brother Gu?" Thinking that Gu Chen likes to eat chocolate the most, Lu Weiwei doesn't care: "That's okay, as long as you can eat it anyway."
"Those who are away from home, especially on missions, are not here for vacation after all."
Lu Weiwei's ideological consciousness is still quite high and she knows what she is doing here.
But there are no shrimp-flavored potato chips, which is a bit uncomfortable.
At this moment, Gu Chen used his mobile phone to check the satellite map of Meishan and asked Xu Xiaotong beside him: "Where are we starting from? How to get there? Do you have a plan?"
"Let me take a look." Xu Xiaotong took Gu Chen's phone and accidentally touched Gu Chen with her little hand. Her face turned red immediately, she lowered her head and pursed her lips as she said:
"We enter Meishan from here, and may go around here along this trail, and then at the fork in the road, we can first go to the left to take a look, and then go to the right..."
Judging from the explanation of how to cross Meishan, Xu Xiaotong grew up in Meishan Town and knows the basic route distribution of Meishan very well.
Gu Chen was also listening carefully, and soon had a rough impression of the search route.
After Xu Xiaotong finished speaking, Gu Chen directly took the phone and said: "Then follow this planned route."
"Let me lead the way." Xu Xiaotong glanced at Gu Chen, quickly lowered her head, and led her German Shepherd ahead.
But after taking a few steps, Gu Chen stopped her: "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?" Xu Xiaotong was stunned and turned to ask Gu Chen.
Gu Chen walked directly to her, took off Xu Xiaotong's backpack, and said, "I will carry it for you, and you are responsible for leading the way."
"Okay." Xu Xiaotong nodded silently, feeling that this handsome policeman was quite considerate.
Everyone quickly walked into Meishan according to the established route.
Along the way, Xu Xiaotong turned back three times every step of the way, looking at Gu Chen behind him from time to time.
Gu Chen and other colleagues searched every corner of Meishan.
Because the road entering Meishan changes from a gravel road to a dirt road after a certain distance.
Due to the rain some time ago, there are various traces on the dirt road that are intricate, including human and animal footprints.
There are even many wheel marks.
Gu Chen curiously asked Xu Xiaotong: "Do you usually ride up the mountain?"
"Sometimes." Holding the German Shepherd hand, Xu Xiaotong turned around and replied: "Although the mountain road here is narrow, you can ride a motorcycle."
"There are even many off-road motorcycle enthusiasts who like to travel through this mountain forest."
Looking at Gu Chen's frozen expression, Xu Xiaotong asked him: "What's wrong, Officer Gu? What are you thinking about?"
"I'm thinking, if Mei Shiqiang is really in Meishan, what does he eat every day? He can't eat wild fruits, right?"
"You will definitely not be full of wild fruits." Xu Xiaotong denied and said: "In this season in Meishan, there are some wild fruits, but the quantity is still too small. If a person can eat wild fruits in the mountains for more than half a month, then it will be
It’s a bit awesome.”
"Not to mention diarrhea, I will get tired of just eating this wild fruit."
Following Xu Xiaotong, Gu Chen also thought about it and said, "If Mei Shiqiang just stabbed your father, then it would be better to come back and surrender than to escape, right?"
"If you stay alone in the mountains, don't you suffer the consequences? And if you escape, you will be charged more, so why should Mei Shiqiang do it?"
"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang also expressed his opinion: "Do you think this Mei Shiqiang is stupid? It's obviously a very simple thing, but it has to be so complicated."
"If those other fellow villagers hadn't died one after another, we wouldn't have gone to such trouble to find him."
"How many other fellow villagers?" After hearing what Officer Wang said, Xu Xiaotong immediately hesitated and asked: "What happened to his other fellow villagers?"
"Three fell to death, another was strangled to death, and there was another man who fell from the building. We are still confirming his identity." Officer Wang also said casually.
But Xu Xiaotong's hair stood on end after hearing this, feeling that things were not that simple.
At least the police suddenly came back and actively searched for the whereabouts of Mei Shiqiang, which is very intriguing.
"Are several other deceased persons implicated in the co-authorship of Mei Shiqiang?" Xu Xiaotong asked uncertainly.
"That's not true." Lu Weiwei walked up to her and explained to her: "The deaths of several other people were either suspected accidents or strangled to death by the murderer."
"We are still looking for the whereabouts of the murderer, but we have found that there is a certain connection between these deceased people, that is, they all came from the same village in Haidong City."
"Now several other people in the photo have died one after another, and only Mei Shiqiang is still active."
"But if he hadn't chosen to escape after accidentally injuring someone some time ago, I guess this Mei Shiqiang would have been in trouble."
"So scary?" Listening to Lu Weiwei's words, Xu Xiaotong suddenly felt a little regretful.
I regret that I brought everyone to Meishan. I feel like I am also involved in this.
After all, no one knows what secrets Mei Shiqiang hides.
It seems that as long as Mei Shiqiang is found, everything will be solved.
Seeing that Xu Xiaotong was a little nervous, Officer Wang quickly changed the subject and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Mei Shiqiang may have a criminal record, but as long as he is caught by us, he will not be able to harm your family."
"Well, that's what the police said back then." Xu Xiaotong seemed to be used to such remarks.
Gu Chen continued to change the subject: "What did you major in college?"
"Computer." Xu Xiaotong tried to calm down and then said slowly.
"So are you resigning now?" Gu Chen asked again.
Xu Xiaotong nodded silently: "I fired my boss, and I feel like a pervert."
"It's harmful. It's too painful to look back on the past, so it's okay not to mention it." Xu Xiaotong seemed to be very taboo about this matter, and also complained:
"Anyway, I'm not happy at work, and I feel like there are a lot of trivial matters. Originally, I wanted to be a female coder, but my boss suddenly asked me to participate in various social events, and turned me into a public relations officer."
"But I don't like doing public relations anyway. You guys don't know how annoying it is to eat with those greasy clients every day."
After a pause, Xu Xiaotong said angrily: "Those people always like to take advantage of you by being drunk, and there's nothing you can do against them."
"So that's it?" Hearing what Xu Xiaotong said, Gu Chen probably had a good idea and could understand why Xu Xiaotong chose to resign.
"So." Xu Xiaotong also shrugged and said somewhat helplessly: "So I can only fire the boss."
"When I resigned, I directly said I didn't want to work anymore. Some time ago, I even wrote a resignation letter to my boss."
"Anyway, that's what the letter said to him: Boss, boss, don't be so conceited. I will stop flattering you. The meager salary is so stingy. Put your resignation letter in your drawer. You don't even need to beg me to stay. Don't forget this month's salary. I will come back.
Find an accountant."
"Pfft." After hearing Xu Xiaotong's words, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but laugh and said: "I can't tell, you are quite talented in cross talk."
"These are all influenced by them. Those customers all talk in the same way, and it feels like they are full of routines."
"I was like a blank piece of paper in front of them. Anyway, I didn't want to sink any further, so I just chose to resign. I was thinking of resting at home for a month before looking for a job. But what happened was that my dad was stabbed.
It’s such a bad thing, don’t worry too much.”
When talking about her own troubles, Xu Xiaotong also looked sad and angry.
It feels like people are getting unlucky, and bad things happen one after another.
I feel like you can’t just single out one family to trick people, right?
It was me before, and now I am my father.
If he hadn't been worried about Mei Shiqiang returning to Meishan Town for revenge, he wouldn't have worked so hard and led the police to search the mountain.
Everyone also continued to walk into the mountains with ridicule.
…
…
At 12 noon, everyone rested on the spot beside a trail, preparing to have something to eat before heading on the road.
While everyone was resting, a middle-aged man carrying a travel backpack happened to come from the other side of the mountain road.
When seeing everyone, they couldn't help but be stunned.
Mainly because the police uniforms of Gu Chen and others were too dazzling.
But Xu Xiaotong seemed to know the person, so he asked casually: "Aren't you the boss of the drugstore? What? You go up the mountain to collect medicine by yourself?"
"Yes." Seeing that Xu Xiaotong took the initiative to communicate with him, Zhang, the herbal collector, also put his backpack on one side, took out his water bottle and filled it with two mouthfuls of water, and chose to sit across from everyone and rest for a while.
Officer Wang stepped forward vigilantly, pointed at Lao Zhang's backpack and asked him curiously: "What kind of medicine did you collect on the mountain?"
"They are all common yams, and they need to be taken back for processing." Zhang, the herb collector, said casually.
Officer Wang asked again: "Can you show it to me?"
"Okay." Taboo, Officer Wang's identity as a police officer, Cai Yao Lao Zhang nodded in acquiescence.
Of course, seeing these policemen coming to the mountains, and Xu Xiaotong with his German Shepherd, Lao Zhang knew that the situation was not simple.
Officer Wang was not idle and started a routine inspection directly.
But after some searching, it was discovered that among the various plastic bags in the backpack were actually some herbs from the mountains.
There are many herbs that Officer Wang has never seen before.
Gu Chen looked at Lao Zhang's nervous expression and asked him out of curiosity: "You often come to the mountains to collect medicine, right?"
"Not necessarily." He took a sip of tea and said truthfully: "Sometimes, I come five or six times a month, and sometimes I come once or twice a month. It mainly depends on the weather and the herbs.
growth opportunities.”
"Because there are many medicinal herbs in Meishan, not only me, but also many people from our Meishan Town come here to pick weeds."
"Then have you seen Mei Shiqiang in the mountains who hurt someone in the town half a month ago?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Chen opened his phone and showed Mei Shiqiang's photo in front of him.
Zhang, the medicine collector, glanced at it and shook his head in denial: "I haven't seen it, but during that time, I heard people in the town say that this Mei Shiqiang committed a murder in the supermarket and escaped, and his whereabouts are still unknown."
After a pause, Lao Zhang glanced at Xu Xiaotong and said, "Isn't it Xu Xiaotong's father?"
"That's right." Xu Xiaotong also looked angry and complained: "My dad is really unlucky. I gave him seven or eight thousand yuan on credit, and in the end he stabbed my dad. He is simply a wolf."
"But now we don't know where he has gone. We suspect that he is hiding in the mountains. No, we will bring the police here to search."
"Isn't the time span too long? After all, more than half a month has passed." Zhang, the herbal collector, felt a little regretful when he heard what Xu Xiaotong said.
But Xu Xiaotong shook his head and said jokingly: "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Not to mention that it has only been more than half a month, even in the past year, I have to capture him and give my father an explanation."
"Yes." Lao Zhang nodded silently and understood the reason why these policemen went to the mountain.
Looking down at his watch, he saw that the time was almost up, and Officer Wang over there didn't find anything suspicious.
So Lao Zhang picked up his backpack and said, "Then I have to go down the mountain."
"Walk slowly." Xu Xiaotong stood up and watched the old medicine collector gradually leave.
But just after taking more than ten steps, Mr. Zhang, the medicine collector, suddenly turned around again, pointed in a direction and reminded, "Have you done any searches over there?"
"Not yet." Lu Weiwei stood up and said.
Zhang, the herbal collector, walked back a few steps and said: "Half a month ago, I found signs that someone had lived in the hut on the hill over there. Calculating the time, it might have been the two days when your father was stabbed.
."
"Because I didn't pay attention at the time, I just happened to pass by, so I didn't go there."
"What is that hut for?" Officer Wang asked him curiously.
Zhang, the herbal collector, replied with a faint smile: "In the past, some travel friends from the industrial zone often came to Meishan to hike through it. This is a temporary foothold."
"But later it seemed that most of that group of people left the Meishan Town Industrial Park, so the organization that hiked through the jungle disbanded."
"And the temporary hut that was built is just sitting there."
"Those of us who go up the mountain to collect herbs, occasionally pass by there and stop to rest and take shelter from the rain."
"Anyway, I feel that if that Mei Shiqiang really wants to hide in the mountains, he might use that place as his foothold."
After a pause, Mr. Zhang, the herbal collector, said again: "Of course, this is just my guess. You can use it as a reference."
"Thank you." After receiving the information from the herb collector Zhang, Gu Chen felt like he had found a treasure, and quickly asked: "Then how can we get to that hut from here?"
"You go from here." Zhang, the medicine collector, pointed to a trail in the mountain and said: "After passing this trail and climbing over a small hillside, you can see a slightly wider road, and then walk along the road into the mountain.
, you can get there in about an hour.”
"Thank you, thank you very much." I felt that the clues provided by the medicine collector Zhang were very timely, and Gu Chen was also grateful in every possible way.
Zhang, the herbal collector, twisted his body, lifted his backpack up, and waved goodbye: "Then I wish you good luck."
Seeing Lao Zhang's figure fading away, Gu Chen quickly put his backpack back on his back and said, "Time is running out, we'll set off immediately."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Lu Weiwei was also a little impatient.
Everyone organized their equipment on the spot, and then followed the German Shepherd and ran towards the cabin together.
…
…
Sure enough, after walking for nearly an hour, a small wooden house suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain.
Lu Weiwei even looked at her watch and felt that the time calculation was very accurate. She couldn't help but sigh: "That old herb collector is indeed experienced. He can even calculate walking time so accurately."
"Then the hut on the top of the mountain should be the place he mentioned."
"Yeah." Xu Xiaotong nodded silently, but also said a little confused: "But I have never been here before, it feels quite mysterious."
Looking back at the direction down the mountain, the buildings in Meishan Town were also blocked by various undulating hills. It felt like everyone was in the deep mountains.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone at this moment and used the satellite map to locate everyone's specific location.
"Judging from the location on the mobile phone, we should have arrived at the hinterland of Meishan, the central location. Everyone, please pay attention to the situation around you and be careful."
After he finished speaking, he saw Yuan Shasha walking to the roadside alone. Gu Chen quickly reminded: "Xiao Yuan, what are you doing?"
