Gu Chen stopped and began to listen quietly. Seeing this, everyone around him began to be alert.
However, a few seconds later, the movement stopped again, and a white stray cat was seen carefully poking its head out from the weeds.
When he saw all the humans looking at him, the stray cat immediately swooped and hid in the weeds again.
"Is it a cat?" Lu Weiwei took a deep breath and patted her tall chest: "I thought it was a human."
"This place may be the home of these stray cats." Yuan Shasha said.
Officer Wang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, humans rarely come to this kind of place, and it is very secretive. Stray cats like to make their nests here, and they are not afraid of being disturbed by humans."
After thinking for a while, Officer Wang added: "But it seems that no one has passed by here for a long time. If there were people passing by here before, it was for the nearby vegetable garden."
"But now the entire area here is within the scope of demolition, and the vegetable fields have long been bulldozed, so there is no way to pass here."
"But I just can't figure it out. Since there are no humans passing by here, what about these newly broken plants? Or has Wan Xiaomin really been here?"
"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing that Officer Wang was still hesitating about the matter slowly, Gu Chen also said decisively: "Did Wan Xiaomin really pass by here? We will wait until we find her. I will explore the way first, and you guys will follow.
"
After the words fell, Gu Chen walked forward again.
The stray cat that had been hiding in the weeds seemed to have heard the noise, and suddenly jumped out of the weeds with a "swish", and then quickly ran away forward.
However, what Gu Chen didn't expect was that cats were meowing all around him, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight kittens jumped out of the weeds.
These small animals first glanced at Gu Chen and the others alertly, and then followed the big cat just now and ran quickly forward.
After a while, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Lu Weiwei, who was standing there, was also dumbfounded and said: "Why are there so many kittens in this place? Have we hit the cat nest?"
"If someone discovers this, and then captures them together and gives them to Wan Xiaomin, I guess her 'hamster house' will really have to be renamed 'Tom and Jerry'."
Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile, and then continued walking forward.
Not long after, as Hu Ming said, he left the weeds and came to the ruins of a damaged wall.
Although the surrounding area is also covered with weeds, it is covered up by the ruins of the wall.
Outside the ruins is a wasteland outside the factory area, an abandoned vegetable garden.
It can be seen from the shape of the soil that it was once a vegetable field. Various long strips still exist, but they are now covered by weeds.
Walking among these wastelands, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that there were two parallel railways not far away.
Looking around again, it seems that we have left the chemical plant area.
The warehouse buildings that originally existed on both sides of the railway were now in ruins and seemed to have been demolished for a long time.
Gu Chen and others carefully passed through the ruins one by one and arrived at the railway track.
At this moment, Gu Chen discovered that one of the rails was already covered in rust, while the other rail seemed to be similar, but had signs of wear and tear.
Apparently, trains still pass through here.
"Hu Ming." Gu Chen looked at the railroad tracks in front of him and couldn't help but call out "Hu Ming".
Hu Ming immediately walked to Gu Chen and asked, "Officer Gu, what's the matter?"
"What's going on with this railway?" Gu Chen didn't know much about this area, so he quickly asked Hu Ming.
Hu Ming looked around and then explained: "Oh, this railway is relatively old and belongs to the freight railway. I only remember that to the right, the railway can lead to a small county town in the sister city."
"And to the left, you can go all the way to Jiangnan City Railway Station."
"Is this railway usually very busy?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Hu Ming hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "In my impression, it's not too busy, right? Because it's a branch line freight railway, and there's only one trip a day."
"That means that Wan Xiaomin most likely left via the railway?" Gu Chen knew that this was a blind spot for surveillance, and that the railway was a cargo transport area, and the equipment around the tracks was also extremely poorly maintained.
Hu Ming looked around, then walked to Gu Chen and confirmed, "It's very possible, because in the past, children like us from the family area often came to the railway to play."
"It's like climbing on a train car and running around on the top of the train car. I used to remember that if you go to the left, there is a small freight station, and there are many freight trains over there."
"It's nerve-wracking." Lu Weiwei looked around and suddenly became confused:
"If Wan Xiaomin leaves from here, where will she go? It's really a mystery."
"Because the mysterious man can take her to any place via freight railway."
"And there is no surveillance in this area, so how can we find it?"
"Don't worry yet." Lu Weiwei felt a little disappointed, but Gu Chen knew very well that since the mysterious man knew this area very well, he must be inextricably linked to the family area of the Chengxi Chemical Plant.
The first person who can know about this secret passage, obviously, the people in the family area should be given priority.
Secondly, if Wan Xiaomin is in danger, she can use the cover of night and her understanding of the terrain to successfully avoid the mysterious man's pursuit.
Gu Chen guessed that it might be difficult for others to retreat unscathed on the territory he was familiar with, but it was not difficult for Wan Xiaomin.
But now that Wan Xiaomin is missing, it is obvious that there is a high probability that she will be kidnapped.
But Wan Xiaomin clearly knew that it would be dangerous for her to come to the family area late at night and meet the mysterious person, so why did she do it?
Thinking of this, Gu Chen's expression suddenly froze: "That's not right."
"Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong?" Seeing Gu Chen standing there in shock, Lu Weiwei also hurriedly came over and asked.
At this moment, everyone was already searching separately. Gu Chen called Lu Weiwei to one side and whispered:
"Senior Sister Lu, is this the case? Was it Wan Xiaomin's own idea to make an appointment with the mysterious person to come to the family area of the Chengxi Chemical Plant?"
"Wan Xiaomin's own idea?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused and questioned: "But Junior Brother Gu, why would she, Wan Xiaomin, arrange the meeting place in such a ruins? And it's late at night, so she's not afraid
Is it dangerous?"
"This is exactly what she wants." Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei was confused again: "She... what she wants? What does she want?"
"Let me put it this way." Seeing that Lu Weiwei still didn't understand what she meant, Gu Chen simply explained:
"Can I understand it this way? First of all, Wan Xiaomin arranged the meeting place between herself and the mysterious person in this kind of ruins, and it was still in the middle of the night."
"This environment seems to be very unfavorable for both parties. First of all, it is the light. It is not difficult for us to find out by searching the nearby family area."
"In fact, there are very few usable street lights on the roads in the whole family area, so the light will definitely be very poor."
"The lighting is poor, and we are still in these ruins, so who is most beneficial?"
Seeing that Gu Chen had already reminded her of this, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized and said hurriedly: "It is best for Wan Xiaomin, because Wan Xiaomin is too familiar with everything here."
"If an accident occurs and Wan Xiaomin wants to escape, then all the terrain here will definitely be an advantage for Wan Xiaomin."
"That's right." Gu Chen snapped his fingers and then said:
"If this possibility exists, then the mysterious man Wan Xiaomin met might not be from the family area of the Chengxi Chemical Plant at all."
"In this way, even if there is danger, Wan Xiaomin can use the terrain to escape. But now Wan Xiaomin has disappeared. Maybe there was an accident during the escape and he was caught by the other party."
After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei's nervousness suddenly rose to her throat, and she said weakly:
"Then...then Wan Xiaomin may have been kidnapped now? Maybe she has been killed? But she still came here despite the risk. Maybe Wan Xiaomin had difficulties, but she had thought of a way out, but in the implementation process
Something unexpected happened?"
"Maybe."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, his cell phone rang.
When he saw that the call was from He Junchao, Gu Chen quickly opened the answer button and asked, "Brother He, how is your investigation going?"
"Gu Chen, the mysterious man you asked me to investigate, based on previous surveillance captures, I found that he once appeared in a tool store."
"Moreover, after he left the tool store, he seemed to have taken away a bag of things. You can go to the tool store to ask about the situation, and you may be able to find some clues."
"Really?" Hearing what He Junchao said, Gu Chen was overjoyed and quickly urged:
"Then now, please send me the location of that store."
"No problem, I'll send it to you right away."
The two exchanged words for a while, then both hung up the phone.
Later, Gu Chen received the store location from He Junchao.
With this, Gu Chen quickly reminded everyone: "Continue to search the area, especially the small station nearby. Ask the staff if there were any suspicious people nearby last night?"
"Gu Chen, what about you and Lu Weiwei?" Officer Wang asked.
"Senior Sister Lu and I will look for some clues." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen leaned into Officer Wang's ear and whispered a reminder: "Senior Brother He found a tool store where the mysterious man had been before and bought a bag of
Something, I want to investigate."
"Okay, you and Lu Weiwei go over there quickly, and I'll take someone with me to look around," Officer Wang said.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei back the same way and headed towards the weeds where they were.
However, what makes people feel weird is that the stray cat that ran away before appears again in the weeds at this moment.
When they saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei passing by, these little stray cats immediately "swooshed" and got into the weeds on both sides to hide.
Due to time constraints, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei didn't care about this. They just felt that these little wild cats seemed to be afraid of strangers.
After driving all the way, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei came to a tool shop near the Chengxi Chemical Factory.
Because it is on a remote road, there are not many stores here. There are many trucks parked around and there are small shops selling hardware tools nearby.
Based on the clues provided by He Junchao, Gu Chen parked the car directly in front of a Xinda hardware store, then got out of the car and came to the front desk.
At this moment, a fat middle-aged woman was looking at her mobile phone. There was a pile of sunflower seeds on the table.
Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in police uniforms walking over, the fat woman raised her head and asked, "What do you want to buy?"
Gu Chen did not reply directly, but after observing the products in the store, he took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, and showed the surveillance screenshot of the mysterious man:
"This man bought something from your store yesterday morning. Do you still have an impression of him?" Gu Chen asked.
The fat middle-aged woman threw away the snacks in her hands, clapped her hands, and then moved closer, squinting to observe.
Then, the fat woman raised her head and thought, and said slowly: "Yesterday morning? There were not many customers who came to the store to buy things? It seems... there weren't many, right?"
"Then do you have any impression of him?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly asked.
The fat woman shook her head: "I seem to have a bit of an impression. He seems to have bought something..."
"What is it?" Before the fat woman could finish speaking, Lu Weiwei asked again.
"Wait a moment." Seeing that the two police officers were anxious, the fat woman quickly opened the cashier drawer, took out one of the receipt books, wetted her fingers with saliva, and started to read through it.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Since the documents have notes on the date and goods sold, the fat woman quickly found the answer and immediately handed the documents to Gu Chen and said:
"It's some nylon ropes, tapes and other items," the woman said.
"What about besides this? Is there anything else?" Gu Chen looked through it and asked one more question to confirm.
The fat woman shook her head: "No more, he just bought these things, and there are records on this receipt."
"Crack!"
While the fat woman was talking, Gu Chen had already taken a photo of the document with his mobile phone, then handed it back to the fat woman and asked again:
"Then do you remember what this person looked like at that time?"
"Hey, comrade policeman, you are putting me in a difficult position. He was wearing a hat, a mask, and a pair of sunglasses. I couldn't see his face clearly at all."
The fat woman also had a point to make, feeling a little powerless.
Gu Chen thought for a while, pointed the law enforcement recorder at the woman, then took out the notebook and asked again:
"What about the physical characteristics? Do you have any impression?"
"Physical characteristics? Um...height is about 175cm, weight...about 70kg, right?"
After thinking for a while, the woman added: "Oh, by the way, this person seems to have a square face, with a more contoured face."
"What about talking? What accent does he have?" Lu Weiwei took advantage of the fat woman's impression and quickly asked again.
"Accent?" The fat woman scratched the back of her head and said thoughtfully: "It seems...it seems to be speaking Mandarin, but with a bit of our local accent, it should be like our locals."
Gu Chen recorded these in the record and asked the fat woman: "Then what else did this person say to you when he bought the goods?"
"What did you say? He just bought something?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, he saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looking serious.
Especially when they asked about the man's situation, they seemed to be very careful. The landlady immediately felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the man the police were looking for.
Thinking of this, the fat woman immediately said: "Oh, I remember. When he entered the store, he asked me if I had any nylon ropes and tapes. I said yes, so I went to find them for him."
"When paying, I teased him and said, what are you buying these things for? Are you going to kidnap him?"
"Then what was his reaction?" After hearing the fat woman's words, Lu Weiwei quickly asked.
"What other reaction could there be? I was also shocked, and then told me that I was joking on him. Of course, I was joking on him. I feel that nylon rope and tape can easily remind people of kidnapping.
."
After looking Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei up and down, the fat woman said: "Moreover, you came to my store today and asked so many questions about that man. Isn't it obvious? That man must have committed something, so you are here today."
I just came to investigate him, am I right? Comrade police?"
"You are very smart." Lu Weiwei complimented her helplessly, and then said, "But now that you can help us find his traces, that would be even better."
"By the way." When Lu Weiwei reminded her, what did the fat woman think of immediately? She quickly added: "I remember that when he was buying these things, he seemed to have received a phone call."
"Phone? Who's calling?" Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly became alert.
The fat woman looked up at the sky, tried hard to think about it for a few seconds, and then said slowly:
"I don't know who called? But I feel like they should be very familiar with each other. What did they say? You come over in the evening and I have arranged everything for you. It seems that you have a date in the evening or something? Anyway, I only heard
These?"
The fat woman didn't seem to remember clearly, but for Gu Chen, each of these was a key clue.
After the record was complete, Gu Chen added: "So, he is confirming with the person on the phone the specific time of the party in the evening, right?"
"Uh... yes, that's about it. What else do you want to know? Then I really don't know. After all, I just open a shop."
"Okay, thank you, thank you for your cooperation." Seeing that it was no longer possible to get useful clues from the fat woman, Gu Chen thanked her and then left the store with Lu Weiwei.
As soon as the two of them got into the police car, Gu Chen immediately reminded Lu Weiwei: "Ask Senior Brother He to investigate this Azhe immediately."
"You mean?" Lu Weiwei seemed to have guessed something?
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Yes, that person may be Azhe."
