179, lead snakes out of the hole [five thousand words monthly ticket]
The next morning.
Gu Chen got up very early. In order to avoid being too conspicuous, Gu Chen changed into casual clothes and prepared to return to Xinghua Village.
To be more precise, after another incident of men in black hurting people in Xinghua Village, Gu Chen has been treating this vicious incident with a cautious attitude.
Although Gu Chen has some achievements so far and has handled many cases, and he has been recognized by all the colleagues at the police station in just a few months, this is already considered a good thing in the eyes of ordinary people.
But this does not mean that I can slack off...
Gu Chen knew a truth: the higher you praise someone, the harder you fall.
This time, Hu Mengyao, a failed candidate from Jiangbei, was found in Xinghua Village. The media follow-up reports can come to an end. It can also be said that the task assigned by Zhao Guozhi to the third group has been successfully completed.
But as for Liu Xiaobao's injury last night, it happened under the eyes of Jiangnan TV and many crew members. It's hard to say whether this matter can be handled well.
Gu Chen could only try his best to investigate more.
Although I have used my entry-level imagination to deduce that the murderer is likely to be hiding in Xinghua Village.
But Gu Chen clearly knew that the murderer's repeated injuries were probably random. Is this a warning to Xinghua Village or revenge? This gave Gu Chen many new ideas.
Gu Chen only hoped that during the investigation of Xinghua Village, he could find this evil murderer so that the crew and the villagers of Xinghua Village could feel safe.
For this reason, after using his entry-level imagination to deduce clues last night, Gu Chen started preparing early in the morning.
By the time Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and others got up, Gu Chen had already bought breakfast for everyone.
And using the three-dimensional map of the mobile phone, the road structure of Xinghua Village was recorded in detail, so that Xinghua Village was well understood.
By the time Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and others finished breakfast, Gu Chen had already made a lot of notes and arrangements in the notebook.
Officer Wang yawned and said, "Gu Chen, you are such a workaholic. You were busy all day yesterday, but you can still get up early today."
Gu Chen put away the compiled information book, put it on the table, and said: "We still have to make careful preparations. I think the murderer is probably hiding in Xinghua Village, and his understanding of the surrounding terrain is obviously
They want to be stronger than us."
"You mean...the murderer is in Xinghua Village?" Lu Weiwei took a breath and said thoughtfully: "I actually thought about this yesterday."
"That's why we understand the terrain better than him." Gu Chen had already put the information into his bag.
"What Gu Chen said makes sense." Officer Wang stuffed the meat buns into his mouth, clapped his hands and said, "We can go.
Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun were also very energetic today, both of them worked very hard.
Last night, Bai Xiaolan wrote the news Hu Mengyao found into a newsletter and published it on the public account she ran. When she woke up today, the number of reads had exceeded 100,000.
Wu Jun also used computer software to edit and post-process the captured videos in the hotel in Panlong Town.
This is the most fulfilling feeling he has had in a while.
The task was completed very well, and Hu Mengyao's statement also made subsequent reports possible.
Now the people of Jiangnan City are looking forward to Hu Mengyao and Wu Qi meeting in the hospital, which will also trigger a lot of discussion.
But what excites Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun at the same time is that the wounding incident in Xinghua Village allowed them to capture the news again.
I feel that if we can follow the police and bring the murderer of the Xinghua Village to justice, then this will be another breaking news incident, enough to make the front page headlines.
When the two gangs arrived at Xinghua Village together, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Xu Lang had already changed into casual clothes like Gu Chen.
Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun have also arrived at the filming site of the column.
It's been a busy day today...
"Everyone saw the scene behind me. This is the filming scene of the online variety show "The Transformation of the Boss"." Bai Xiaolan faced the camera with a microphone in her hand. She couldn't help but take a few steps back, then turned and pointed to a chair at the entrance of the village.
"Have you seen that? Yesterday, we treated a villager who was stabbed more than 20 times here. You can take a look."
Bai Xiaolan gave up her position, and Wu Jun carried the camera and pointed it at the bloody seat.
"Okay, then what you see now is the bloody chair. Take a look."
Bai Xiaolan pointed to the chair and said: "It can be seen how serious the injured person was at that time. However, after the village doctor briefly treated the wound, the injured person was picked up by Panlong Town Central Hospital and transferred to the Municipal People's Hospital for further treatment. At present,
The injured person is emotionally stable."
"Okay." Wu Jun gave a thumbs up, indicating that the video was finished.
A villager from Xinghua Village came over and said, "Brother, can this chair be moved?"
"Okay." Wu Jun nodded, put the camera on his shoulder in his hand, took out a twenty-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to him.
"Thank you. If you want to take pictures of this chair next time, remember to contact me again." The villager put the banknotes in his pocket, smoked a cigarette, picked up the chair, and left with satisfaction.
"Teacher Wu, how is the effect?" Bai Xiaolan came over curiously to see the shooting situation.
"Very good, these materials are very real." Wu Jun looked around, his eyes stopped on Gu Chen, who was wearing casual clothes, and said: "Let's go and take pictures of these policemen, and take pictures of their solemn expressions.
When paired with some compact BGM, the sense of immersion will come.”
Bai Xiaolan gave a thumbs up: "Teacher Wu is really professional."
On the other side, Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were still questioning the film crew Liu Xiaobao was on yesterday and wanted to know whether what Liu Xiaobao said was true.
I also want to know from a side perspective what other people think of the man in black.
"That's what happened, comrade police, the man in black escaped so fast that we had no time to react and he disappeared without a trace." said a photographer wearing a vest.
"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation." Officer Wang patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave.
As soon as he turned around, he found that Wu Jun's camera was pointed at him.
"Officer Wang, how is the current investigation situation? Can you tell us about it?" Bai Xiaolan handed over the microphone.
"Ahem." Officer Wang coughed twice, then straightened his collar and said, "The first thing we need to do now is to grasp the basic characteristics of the criminals as soon as possible, which will help us conduct further investigations."
"So what progress have you made so far?" Bai Xiaolan handed over the microphone again.
"At present, it can be determined that the murderer is very familiar with the terrain in the Xinghua Village area and is good at using knives. He should be a strong man, because he can quickly evacuate the scene after committing a crime." After a pause, Officer Wang continued:
"And the murderer... is very likely to be in Xinghua Village."
After saying this, Officer Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
These are the clues that Officer Wang learned from Gu Chen on the way to Xinghua Village today.
Thinking that the media today would definitely ask about the progress of some cases, I simply prepared some.
"Okay, very good." Wu Jun took the camera off his shoulder again and held it in his hand.
"Thank you, Officer Wang." Bai Xiaolan was very satisfied with this.
Officer Wang said: "These videos will be released after the murderer is found. In addition, the news that the murderer may be in Xinghua Village should not be released yet."
"Don't worry, Officer Wang." Bai Xiaolan has a high emotional intelligence and immediately expressed her understanding of Officer Wang's concerns: "If we announce it now, it will not only cause panic to the crew, but also to the villagers of Xinghua Village, right?"
"Yes, before you catch the murderer, our materials will not be released. This is also the professional quality of us media people." Photographer Wu Jun also expressed understanding.
After all, we have to cooperate with the police from Furong Police Station for a long time, and one of them is not to interfere with the police's handling of the case.
However, it is very rare for Wu Jun and Bai Xiaolan to be able to obtain and record some real materials from here.
"Senior Brother Xu, if you want to go to the orchard in the village, is there the only way through the forest?" Gu Chen knew that Xu Lang knew a lot about this area, so he went to him specifically to ask.
"That's right, but it's not absolute." Xu Lang took Gu Chen's notebook, which contained topographic maps of Xinghua Village and its surroundings. Xu Lang's eyes lit up: "Gu Chen, these are all your drawings.
of?"
"Yes." Gu Chen said.
"The painting is really good." Xu Lang couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said in surprise: "You can paint Xinghua Village in such detail. It seems that you put a lot of effort into it last night."
"It didn't take long, only fifteen minutes."
"Well, it's basically very close." Xu Lang pointed to the forest on the drawing and said: "This forest is located at the foot of the mountain and is divided horizontally, naturally separating the orchard on the mountain from Xinghua Village.
If you want to go around the forest, you will have to take a lot of unnecessary steps."
"In other words, this is the only way to go. The villagers of Xinghua Village cannot avoid this road no matter what, so the murderer can wait here." Gu Chen said.
"That's right, the forest road between the orchard and Xinghua Village is only about one kilometer away." Xu Lang paused and then said: "And I heard that if you want to bypass this road, it will take more time.
It’s more than ten kilometers of mountain road, so if you still expect them to take a detour, it’s simply impossible.”
"Then can we just go this way tonight?" Gu Chen looked at Xu Lang persistently.
Xu Lang was stunned by the question, but stood aside. Lu Weiwei, who had been observing for a long time, coughed twice and said: "Because it is very difficult and unrealistic to find out the murderer through investigation."
"The crew is mixed with the villagers of Xinghua Village. The composition of the crew is complicated. In addition to the co-production crew of Jiangnan TV, the crew also has a program production crew."
"The people here are not very familiar with each other, so it will be difficult to investigate. So what Gu Chen means is that the murderer is waiting for him, and we will lure the snake out of the hole."
"Leading the snake out of its hole? Is this a good word? Senior Sister Lu understands me." Gu Chen smiled slightly.
Xu Lang looked up at Gu Chen's expression and couldn't help but said: "Young people are so brave."
He thought that Gu Chen would use investigation and questioning to find out the whereabouts of the man in black, but he never thought that Gu Chen would use the trick of luring a snake out of its hole.
Although it seems risky and has little effect, it seems to be the most likely way to find traces of the man in black.
In fact, before coming to Xinghua Village, Gu Chen communicated the situation he had speculated to several people, including Xu Lang.
But Xu Lang still thinks it's quite risky...
However, this time it is a collective action of four people, so the chance of winning may be higher.
During the day, the four of them entered the forest and conducted an on-the-spot investigation of the location where Liu Xiaobao was attacked yesterday.
By using the creases of some vegetation in the forest, we can conduct trace inference and basically determine the approximate route of action of the murderer.
"This guy is hiding very secretly. If there was an ambush, I would definitely hide here." Gu Chen couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the traces of the fight between Liu Xiaobao and the murderer last night.
It was the same place as the last time the second son of the Liu family was attacked. It was also at the same place.
Officer Wang held his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then do you think that if the murderer comes out to commit crimes again, will he set the ambush location here again?"
"Probably not." Gu Chen shook his head: "It only takes three things. He succeeded here twice. He must know that the villagers and crew will be alert. If he comes here again, he will definitely be more vigilant and want to do it again.
The success rate of committing a crime will not be very high."
Officer Wang was used to Gu Chen's rebuttal, and Lu Weiwei also expressed her understanding.
"Then are you sure you want to lure the snake out of its hole here tonight?" Xu Lang tried his best to open his eyes wide and said: "Then it can't be later than ten o'clock at night. If it is later than that, we will fall asleep directly."
"Haha, listen to Senior Brother Xu." Gu Chen also meant the same thing.
7pm.
After many investigations, Gu Chen and Officer Wang selected an excellent observation location.
Here you can advance, attack, retreat and defend. It can be said that besides the last location, it is another best place for ambush.
However, Gu Chen did not set up his lurking location here. Instead, he chose to give up and instead conduct control around this location.
And the perfect location that was vacated was reserved for the murderer.
In this way, once the murderer enters the ambush site, he will definitely be surrounded by four people.
If the escape route is cut off again, the murderer will be a turtle in the urn and cannot escape.
"Have you brought everything with you?" Officer Wang, who was lying on the slope, needed to warn everyone again.
The three of them patted the "nine small items" on their bodies to indicate that everything was in order.
Then the forest suddenly became quiet...
8pm, 9pm, 10pm.
Until late at night, the entire forest was silent, and there was no movement of the murderer.
"Could it be that the murderer learned that the police were in Xinghua Village last night, so he was too scared to come out?" Lu Weiwei was so sleepy that she also found a reason to ask.
"Maybe he really won't come out this time." Xu Lang also squinted his eyes, his head was pounding, and his eyelids were very heavy.
Officer Wang was quite energetic, but still waiting, gradually consuming his energy.
He moved Gu Chen beside him with his hand and asked, "Gu Chen, why don't we go back today? Maybe the murderer is really afraid of the police and doesn't dare to come out?"
In fact, judging from yesterday's situation, the murderer did not know that the police were coming to the village. If the murderer was really from Xinghua Village, he must have known about it.
Gu Chen wondered: "Okay then, I will listen to Senior Brother Wang in everything."
In fact, Gu Chen was also hesitant. When he thought that the murderer would appear in the forest and attack the passing people with a knife, Gu Chen had countless thoughts.
I thought about all the possibilities in my mind...
Dealing with such a cunning opponent may not be something that can be solved in a day or two.
In the past, in Jiangnan City, some shooting methods could be used to narrow the scope of investigation, but it was completely different here.
Officer Wang finally made a decision and made a sign language gesture for everyone to disperse.
But at this moment, from Xinghua Village in the distance, there was suddenly a rapid barking of dogs.
Not long after, Gu Chen's cell phone, which he had set to silent, suddenly lit up.
The caller was reporter Bai Xiaolan.
"Reporter Bai, what's your concern?" Gu Chen was already at the end of the team, preparing to return the same way.
"Officer Gu, where are you?" Bai Xiaolan's tone was urgent.
"What happened in the forest?" Gu Chen looked curious.
"Then come over quickly. Someone was attacked again. This time it was the crew. Now the crew has blocked the village committee. Many people want to go back to Jiangnan City."
Through the phone, Gu Chen could feel the noise at the scene. Many people were making a fuss.
"We'll be there soon." After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen briefly explained the situation to a few people, and everyone ran towards Xinghua Village.
When we arrived at Xinghua Village, many people had already surrounded the small square in front of the village committee, and many people started shouting loudly.
"We have to go home, we can't stay here any longer."
"Director Guo, what did you promise last night and today?"
"What kind of murderer wouldn't hurt people on the crew? So what's the deal with those who were injured today?"
"Yes, Director Guo, you have to give us an explanation. Either we change the place or we quit. We can't risk our lives just for this little money."
There was a loud cry of conquest...
Director Guo and the old village chief, who were wearing peaked caps, were also standing in front of the village committee at a loss.
Director Guo explained to the audience from time to time,
At this time, he saw four people rushing towards the crowd from behind, and he couldn't help but feel that he had found a savior.
Director Guo immediately pointed to the back of the crowd and shouted: "It's the police, the police are coming."
The scene suddenly became quiet for a short time. Everyone turned around and saw Gu Chen running over first.
In the crowd, Bai Xiaolan didn't know where she came from. She immediately took Gu Chen's hand and walked out of the crowd.
"Gu Chen, neither the director nor the village chief can control them now. Everyone is in a mood. You should be careful and don't take all the trouble on yourself."
Bai Xiaolan was also afraid that Gu Chen would suffer a loss, so she first told him the truth.
"Thank you very much." Gu Chen was full of confidence, pushed Bai Xiaolan's hand away, and immediately walked towards the crowd.
The old village chief and Director Guo immediately walked down quickly and extended their hands to meet Gu Chen.
"Comrade police, you are here, something big has happened again."
