2016, The Hanged Man on the Crooked Neck Tree

Listening to Officer Wang's story, Gu Chen felt more and more that this reservoir duty officer was a little weird.

At least the abnormal behavior has aroused everyone's suspicion, but at this time, the gate on duty has been unable to be opened.

Seeing this situation, Gu Chen couldn't care too much.

He looked up at the reservoir gate.

Although it was just an iron gate and only over 3 meters high, it was not difficult for Gu Chen to climb up the iron gate.

The main thing is to prevent the sharp thorns on the iron door from cutting the skin.

Gu Chen turned to look at Officer Wang and said, "Brother Wang, give me some support."

"Ah?" Officer Wang, who reacted slowly, was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.

So he turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, made a supporting gesture with his back to the iron door, and said, "Gu Chen, come on, pay attention to safety."

Gu Chen took a few steps back, then looked at the direction of the iron door, immediately ran quickly with a small step, and then kicked off his left leg.

His right leg rested firmly on Officer Wang's palms.

With the help of Officer Wang's upward lifting movement, Gu Chen kicked off his right leg.

The whole person jumped high like a spring.

In a moment, Gu Chen firmly grasped the two sharp corners on the iron door and quickly climbed up using his body's flexibility.

After carefully climbing over the spikes of the iron gate, Gu Chen climbed in the opposite direction and then jumped lightly.

Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha outside the door only heard a light landing movement, and then heard the door lock begin to twist.

Only a "click" sound was heard, and the door was slowly pushed open.

Gu Chen waved and said, "Follow me."

Everyone didn't stop too much and ran quickly towards the duty room.

It's still the same place just now, but at this moment, the door to the duty room is ajar.

According to what the staff in the duty room said before, because the reservoir is very noisy, the glass and door have been soundproofed.

Therefore, when the duty officer stays in the duty room, he usually closes the door to isolate the noise.

But at this moment, the door is ajar, which shows that the person on duty is not here.

But Gu Chen didn't think much, just opened the door and walked in.

At this moment, the items and furnishings in the room were still intact, and there seemed to be no trace of any movement.

However, the person on duty at this time was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Chen didn't think much, and immediately opened the duty room compartment and came to the small monitoring room.

By controlling the monitoring equipment, Gu Chen discovered that just after Gu Chen and others said goodbye to the watchman, the watchman quickly walked towards the reservoir road.

And all this was captured by surveillance cameras at the intersection.

After that, Gu Chen kept speeding up the progress until he saw himself walking into the duty room and there was no sign of the duty officer.

"Damn it." Seeing this scene, Officer Wang said angrily, "There must be something wrong with this guy."

"As soon as we left, he ran away and hasn't come back yet."

"That's right, this guy is very suspicious. It seems that Junior Brother Gu is absolutely right. This person on duty is the problem." Lu Weiwei now also believes what Gu Chen said before.

Yuan Shasha also said: "Then let's chase him now. Maybe it's still too late. At least we have to find this person on duty."

"As long as we find this person on duty, I think we can find Wang Xinyu. After all, he has bought so many snacks in the past few days. He must be sending supplies to Wang Xinyu."

"Yeah." After listening to everyone's remarks, Gu Chen nodded silently and said quickly:

"Now, everyone, hurry up and chase him. Don't let this guy escape from our sight again."

As Gu Chen gave the order, everyone immediately rushed out of the duty room.

Officer Wang opened the iron gate of the reservoir, while Gu Chen drove into the reservoir area.

The four people got back into the police car and began to search along the reservoir access road.

The reservoir road is built along the mountain. Since there are few passing vehicles, it is a narrow one-way lane.

But if there are vehicles intersecting, then the one-way lane here will have a space for vehicles to meet every other distance.

The space here is relatively loose.

However, the reservoir road is winding and the distance is not long.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the end of the road to the reservoir.

At this moment, no one found the person on duty.

After parking the vehicle in the spacious area where the reservoir road was turned around, Gu Chen and others quickly got out of the car and began to conduct a detailed investigation of the surrounding area.

Gu Chen discovered that there was a narrow path at the end of the reservoir heading towards the mountain.

The muddy path was dug out by humans. Although it is narrow, it is passable.

But so far, no one knows whether the watchman has fled to the mountains?

But the reservoir gate has never been opened.

Lu Weiwei thought about it again and again, and asked Gu Chen: "Junior brother Gu, do you want to go up?"

"Yes." Gu Chen's answer was concise and to the point, but he also said with a lot of heart: "The key point now is to find the reservoir attendant."

"Only by finding the reservoir watchman can he tell us where Wang Xinyu is?"

"Wang Xinyu, who disappeared, was probably taken away and transferred by the reservoir attendant."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen looked at everyone and reminded Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, how about you stay at the gate of the reservoir and report to us immediately if there is any situation."

"I'll take Senior Sister Lu and Xiao Yuan to the mountains to see if we can find any clues."

"Okay." Thinking that the gate of the reservoir cannot be left unattended, Officer Wang hesitated for a moment and immediately agreed.

Afterwards, everyone took off their individual police equipment in the car and started heading up the mountain.

Before going to the mountain, Gu Chen also checked the satellite map on his mobile phone for specific clues.

Since the mobile phone satellite map is a civilian board, if you continue to enlarge the picture, it will be displayed directly and cannot be viewed.

So Gu Chen could only roughly tell that this was a vague path.

As for where it leads? From the map, when the route reaches the mountains, it becomes a dotted line without any guidance.

Therefore, Gu Chen guessed that this was also a dead end.

While searching along the way, Gu Chen also paid attention to the changes under his feet and found that there were many signs of being broken in the surrounding vegetation.

Moreover, the marks on the broken plants seemed to be very new, almost not much time had passed.

Since Gu Chen had trained in jungle search and it was on this single route, it was not difficult to find him.

Along the direction of the broken vegetation, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha kept searching.

The mountain road is getting narrower and steeper.

The climbing rhythm of the three people also slowed down significantly with the emergence of steep slopes.

"Junior Brother Gu, please slow down, I can't keep up with your pace." Lu Weiwei was panting, feeling that she couldn't keep up with Gu Chen's speed.

Yuan Shasha also complained a little: "This hillside is too steep, and I feel that my strength is gradually consuming."

"I obviously still have strength, but I can't exert my strength on such a steep slope."

"No rush." ​​Seeing that the two of them had obviously fallen behind, he was afraid that something might happen to them in the mountains, so Gu Chen quickly stopped and began to investigate the surrounding area.

A minute later, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha came to Gu Chen's side with difficulty.

The two of them were panting and began to search the surrounding area based on Gu Chen's gaze.

Lu Weiwei asked: "Junior Brother Gu, have you discovered anything?"

"There are some new footprints here." Gu Chen pointed to an area ahead.

Yuan Shasha immediately bowed forward and looked carefully.

Not long after, Yuan Shasha also nodded silently, confirmed and said: "Yes, this footprint is indeed the latest, and the vegetation here has obvious creases that have been stepped on."

"And the broken stems and vines are also very fresh. They should have been broken not long ago, which means the person hasn't walked far."

"Are you okay?" Gu Chen turned to look at Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha.

Although she was exhausted, Lu Weiwei still said that she had no problem.

Gu Chen then looked at Yuan Shasha.

Yuan Shasha also nodded silently and said with a wry smile: "I can do it too."

"Let's go then." Gu Chen was now eager to find the reservoir attendant.

To be precise, Gu Chen was eager to find Wang Xinyu.

Because only by finding Wang Xinyu can the mystery of the rotting corpse be finally solved.

But now, everyone who has come into contact with Wang Xinyu seems to have become mysterious.

Especially the reservoir watchman.

Gu Chen could now conclude that the residual body heat everyone felt in the tent under the Rainbow Bridge might have come from the reservoir watchman.

Moreover, the reservoir watchman knows this area very well, so it is very easy to climb the reservoir.

But now, after everyone asked, he hurriedly left the duty room and disappeared inside the reservoir.

This made it impossible for Gu Chen to rule out the suspicion of the reservoir watchman no matter which way he guessed.

"Rustling!"

As the three of them continued to advance deeper into the dense forest, the signs of broken vegetation around them became more and more obvious.

However, just when Gu Chen was about to search for a higher place, Yuan Shasha behind him suddenly screamed, frightening Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen to quickly raise their police equipment and batons in a defensive action.

After a while, Gu Chen quickly asked Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, what's going on?"

"Gu...Senior Brother Gu, look at that!" Yuan Shasha pointed gingerly not far ahead.

Gu Chen also followed Yuan Shasha's guidance and soon discovered that right in front of everyone was a crooked-neck tree.

At this time, there was a figure hanging on the crooked neck tree.

Due to the obstruction of vegetation, the observation line of sight here is not obvious.

Only the rudiment of a human head can be seen.

No wonder Yuan Shasha suddenly screamed just now.

Gu Chen frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Let's go and take a look." Gu Chen had no time to think too much, so he quickened his pace and quickly climbed higher.

Since the trails here are all dirt, climbing up is a bit difficult and can even become slippery.

But Gu Chen still used the shortest time to climb to the mountainside first.

At this moment, the figure under the tree with crooked neck is now clearly visible.

As the breeze blows, a hanging man is spinning in the wind.

Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, who came later, also came to both sides of Gu Chen.

The three of them looked forward, and everyone was stunned.

"Yes...it's the reservoir watchman. It's him." Lu Weiwei exclaimed.

Yuan Shasha also said in disbelief: "But how could he hang himself here?"

"From the surveillance, we can clearly see that he walked towards the mountains here by himself. No one followed him, but what happened to him?"

"Don't worry about this for now. Let's go over and take a look." Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and quickly jumped over several vines blocking the road and walked directly to the crooked neck tree.

When he came to the reservoir attendant, Gu Chen found that the reservoir attendant's hands were not tied, but fell down naturally.

Only his neck was trapped by the rope.

When Gu Chen looked at the feet of the reservoir attendant, he saw some temporarily piled slopes.

There are trees, vines, and stones.

After the reservoir watchman hangs himself, these scattered objects only need to be gently moved with his legs, and they will become scattered, leaving the reservoir watchman with no support below.

Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly hugged the reservoir attendant's legs and lifted him up.

At this time, the reservoir watchman had the rope around his neck tightly.

No matter how hard Gu Chen tried, he could not untie the rope of the reservoir watchman.

Seeing that his efforts were useless, Gu Chen decided to give up.

Then, Gu Chen glanced at the crooked neck tree next to him, then with a few light movements, he climbed to the top of the tree, took out his police dagger, and began to rub the strong rope continuously.

As the last rope was cut, the body of the reservoir attendant fell to the ground with a plop.

Upon seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha quickly put on white gloves and began to examine the deceased.

Gu Chen, who jumped down from the treetop, also came to the deceased.

"Junior Brother Gu, there are no obvious signs of a fight on the deceased's body. It doesn't look like he was hung from a tree after a fight." Lu Weiwei quickly reported the situation to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen frowned: "That means that the reservoir watchman probably committed suicide?"

"Yes, at present, the possibility of suicide is very high." Yuan Shasha pointed to the hands of the deceased and said:

"Senior Brother Gu, look, the deceased's hands are not tied, and there are some strangulation marks in the palms."

"And these strangulation marks are most likely wounds caused by friction when tying these ropes."

"But apart from that, no obvious wounds were found on other parts of the body of the deceased."

"Let me check it out." Feeling that the autopsy needed to be more detailed, Gu Chen began to unbutton the deceased's shirt.

Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha instinctively gave up their positions.

Since from the current point of view, the possibility of suicide by the reservoir watchman is very high, Gu Chen also needs to find enough evidence to prove the possibility of suicide by the reservoir watchman.

Otherwise, homicide will be another form of existence.

As Gu Chen continued to untie the clothes of the deceased and began to examine the front and back of the corpse, Gu Chen was surprised to find that there were almost no wounds on the whole body of the deceased.

Later, Gu Chen checked the expression of the deceased and found that it matched the characteristics of death by suffocation after hanging.

At this moment, Gu Chen was also filled with doubts.

Why would a man who was obviously a good person choose to go to the mountain of the reservoir and end his life by hanging himself after being questioned by the police?

Gu Chen shook his head and asked himself: "Who asked him to do this? Or did he have to die?"
