In the parking lot at the foot of Xiushan Mountain, two police cars from the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City were parked side by side in a corner.
Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha have already put on their equipment and are preparing to go up the mountain from here.
It is indeed a bit difficult to climb mountains at night, but fortunately everyone is prepared with strong flashlights.
In order to ensure sufficient power, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also brought two more from the single police equipment of other colleagues.
Looking at the weak street lights in front of him, Officer Wang was a little scared and said: "Gu Chen, have you really decided to climb up the mountain at night? Instead of choosing to go tomorrow?"
"Just tonight." After checking his equipment, Gu Chen also said seriously:
"We have investigated this only clue. If we have time, we may be able to encounter Wang Xinyu, or the clues left by Wang Xinyu."
"But if we miss it again, maybe we will enter a state of confusion again."
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but echoed:
"Old Wang, think about it, all the clues we are currently investigating were suddenly interrupted midway."
"I didn't expect that Wang Xinyu, who does have two brushes, actually set a puzzle for us on the way out of the police station."
"It seems that he is deliberately playing games with our police."
"Playing games?" Yuan Shasha on the side was a little confused and asked Lu Weiwei:
"But Senior Sister Lu, do you think this game is interesting? Since Wang Xinyu can tell us where the corpse is hidden, she shouldn't be so bored, right?"
"Haha, who knows?" Lu Weiwei also shook her head and said helplessly:
"Perhaps this Wang Xinyu is a lunatic? He caused so many troubles and even made us go hiking at night."
Pointing to the beautiful mountain in front of her, Lu Weiwei said with despair, "Look at such a high mountain. You can climb it with equipment at night."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Weiwei also smiled bitterly and said: "Is this person a sinner in his previous life? He is tormenting us like this."
"Stop talking, I feel like I've been driven crazy by this Wang Xinyu during this period of time." Officer Wang sighed softly, took out his flashlight and couldn't help but sigh:
"I wonder if anyone is in the same situation as me right now? I can't stand it, I can't win, I can't wake up."
"Full of exhaustion and restraint, intermittently complacent, constantly eating and waiting to die."
"Anyway, during this period, I was feeling dizzy." Yuan Shasha also agreed.
Everyone immediately agreed and walked towards the entrance of the mountain together.
To get to the top of Xiushan, there are actually many roads up the mountain.
But the route Gu Chen has chosen so far is the steepest one up the mountain, but also the shortest one.
Since Gu Chen has climbed Xiushan many times since he was a child, he has a little understanding of the situation here.
So, under the leadership of Gu Chen, everyone passed the first checkpoint, which was the iron gate going up the mountain.
There is a duty room next to the iron gate, but now the duty room has long become a room filled with debris.
The iron gate is not locked and visitors can enter and exit at will.
So after crossing the iron gate, everyone continued heading into the mountains.
There are some farmhouse buildings on both sides of the surrounding area, distributed near the iron gate, but no one is currently operating.
However, after walking for a while, at a corner by a small river, there was a small farmhouse with lights on, and there were customers dining inside, chatting about their daily lives in the courtyard.
But Gu Chen and the others did not stop moving forward and continued walking into the mountains.
Seeing Lu Weiwei looking at the mutton soup sign in the farmhouse courtyard, Gu Chen turned around and reminded:
"This is the last farmhouse on the way up the mountain. If you go further in, you will reach the mountain."
"Junior Brother Gu, how about we go buy some water?" Lu Weiwei patted her police kettle and couldn't help but say:
"I'm afraid I didn't bring enough water."
"Don't worry about this." Gu Chen pointed to the road ahead and said, "There are two places ahead where you can get mountain springs."
"Residents here use water pipes to bring spring water from the mountains, and it will flow from top to bottom along the pipes to the roadside."
"We will just install some spring water at two water points on the roadside."
"Is that so?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she immediately said there was no problem.
Sure enough, after walking along the cement road and passing through a bamboo forest, we discovered the movement of flowing water on the right side.
I saw mountain spring flowing continuously from a pipe, and there were many marble blocks on the surrounding ground.
"Is this it?" Yuan Shasha asked.
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, then took off his police kettle.
So everyone followed Gu Chen and filled their own water bottles.
Officer Wang simply washed his face by the spring water to wake himself up.
After completing the operation, everyone continued walking inside and soon came to a gate made of stones.
On top of the stone gate, the three characters "Xiushan Guan" are written in artistic fonts.
Lu Weiwei thought for a moment and asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, is Xiushan Temple a Taoist temple?"
"Yes, it was built a few years ago. It's a pretty good building." Gu Chen said.
"There seems to be a female Taoist priest there." Officer Wang quickly shared what he knew with everyone.
Yuan Shasha's eyes lit up: "Female Taoist priest? Is it related to Wang Xinyu?"
"It's hard to say. We have to go up and take a look at the situation." Gu Chen felt that it was necessary to go up and investigate clearly.
At the very least, Wang Xinyu’s reminder of “the top of a beautiful mountain” must have some kind of hint.
Judging from Wang Xinyu's behavior in tormenting everyone these days, what Gu Chen is most worried about now is that someone will have an accident because of Wang Xinyu.
It was Wang Jiayao who stayed behind to guard the reservoir dam before. Who will he be this time? At present, no one can say for sure.
Therefore, Gu Chen needs to be more vigilant to avoid accidents from happening again.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Thinking that it will take a lot of time to enter the forest from here and climb to the top of the mountain, Gu Chen told everyone to get vaccinated in advance:
"Going in from here is the steps of the forest. There is no lighting on both sides. Everyone needs to save batteries. I will lead the team and only use one flashlight at a time."
"This is no problem." Lu Weiwei said.
Officer Wang gave a wry smile and said, "I'm afraid now that I won't be able to climb to the top of the mountain and will have to lie down on the road from exhaustion."
"Old Wang, can you have some ambition?" Seeing that Officer Wang had not yet gone up the mountain, he began to complain repeatedly, and Lu Weiwei couldn't help but complain.
But Officer Wang said indifferently: "This mountain is difficult to climb. You will know later. It is very steep."
"Some sections of the stone steps are so steep that it feels like your body is being strangled downwards every time you take a step. You will know later."
"Is it really that difficult?" Yuan Shasha has never been here before, so naturally she doesn't know the situation of going up the mountain.
But Officer Wang vowed: "Your sister-in-law and I crawled here once before we were married."
"Good guy, I almost died from exhaustion that time. I originally wanted to go up the mountain to watch the sunrise, but I was so tired that I missed it."
"That's not all. When I went down the mountain, my legs were sore. Every time I took a step, I felt that my legs were not my own. Every time I stepped on the steps, I felt that the flesh of my calves was shaking violently."
"Pfft! Is it such an exaggeration?" Yuan Shasha couldn't help but said teasingly when she saw Officer Wang talking about mountain climbing in such a terrifying way.
When Lu Weiwei heard this, she was immediately frightened, so she asked Gu Chen for confirmation: "Junior Brother Gu, is this road uphill really as scary as Lao Wang said?"
"No." Gu Chen shined his flashlight around the area a few times before replying:
"It feels quite relaxing. It's not as scary as Senior Brother Wang said."
"That's good, that's good." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei was relieved. She couldn't help but patted her towering chest and sighed:
"I was almost scared to death by Lao Wang, and I felt that this place was really so scary."
"If you don't believe me, throw me down." Officer Wang felt that Gu Chen was a master at causing trouble. He wanted to scare Lu Weiwei, but he didn't want to be exposed by Gu Chen.
Yuan Shasha laughed lightly and complained: "Maybe Senior Brother Wang is not strong enough. Maybe Senior Brother Gu won't have such troubles."
"Stop talking about this now." Gu Chen lowered his head and looked at his watch and reminded him, "It's already 8:20 pm."
"If I go at the speed I climb, it may take half an hour, but considering that you need to pay attention to the steps under your feet when climbing at night, I estimate it will take about 40 minutes."
"Half an hour?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yuan Shasha immediately said happily:
"That means it's not that difficult to climb? Co-authored..."
Turning her head and glancing at Officer Wang who was drinking water, Yuan Shasha continued: "Is Senior Brother Wang trying to scare us?"
"Haha, it seems I can't hide it anymore." Seeing that his "conspiracy" was exposed, Officer Wang had no choice but to confess frankly:
"Actually, as Gu Chen said, if you have good physical strength and climb as hard as you can, you can climb to the top of the mountain in maybe half an hour."
"However, the prerequisite is that you have good physical strength or climb frequently. If you don't usually climb mountains, it will be a bit difficult for you to suddenly reach Gu Chen's level."
"And I want to remind you that you have to climb the mountain gradually and don't show off, otherwise your legs may start to feel sore when you go down the mountain after strenuous exercise."
"In order to be able to walk normally the next day, I suggest you slow down."
"Okay, just do what Senior Brother Wang said." Gu Chen also knew that what Officer Wang said was true.
So after everyone sorted out and checked their equipment, they started lining up to go up the mountain.
In order to take care of everyone's vision, Gu Chen adjusted the police's bright flashlight from spotlight mode to astigmatism mode.
In this way, the entire area can be shrouded in strong light.
The entire area where Gu Chen's team was walking suddenly became brighter.
I don’t remember how long we walked. On a steep hillside, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha obviously felt a little strenuous.
Looking at Officer Wang who was walking at the end, he seemed to be able to compete with the elderly.
Looking at the leader, Gu Chen, it seems that he has been deliberately slowing down and waiting for everyone.
Thinking that Gu Chen was going to the mountain to find out the truth now, it was not good to waste time here.
Lu Weiwei thought about it and suggested, "Junior brother Gu, I think this is not the way to go."
"It's our first time climbing Xiushan, and we feel we're not up to par. How about this? You go up first, Xiao Yuan, Lao Wang, and I will follow. We'll meet up at the top of the mountain. What do you think?"
Gu Chen thought for a moment, looked at everyone's exhausted looks, thought for a while, and agreed:
"Okay, how about I leave first, and you remember to follow me at any time."
"Brother Gu, is there any fork in the road on the mountain?" Yuan Shasha asked quickly, fearing that she might have taken the wrong road.
Gu Chen shook his head, pointed to the stone steps in front of him and said, "Just walk straight from here and you can reach the top of the mountain. Just meet me then."
"Okay." Yuan Shasha nodded silently, quickly handed her other spare flashlight to Gu Chen, and reminded:
"Senior Brother Gu, be careful."
Taking Yuan Shasha's flashlight, Gu Chen continued to quicken his pace and soon disappeared around the corner of the stone steps.
Seeing Gu Chen's light source gradually disappearing, Lu Weiwei also looked at Officer Wang down the mountain and couldn't help complaining:
"Old Wang, if you hadn't dragged everyone down, how could we have become the second echelon? It's all your fault!"
"Blame me?" Hearing that Lu Weiwei was obviously blaming the blame, Officer Wang struggled to crawl to Lu Weiwei's side and couldn't help but complain:
"You're quite tired yourself, right? Now pass the blame to me?"
"Anyway, it's you who is holding everyone back." Lu Weiwei doesn't care about this. The main reason is that she can't keep up with Gu Chen and has to find someone to take the blame.
And the last one, Comrade Lao Wang, is undoubtedly the best choice.
On one side, everyone was still making accusations. On the other side, Gu Chen almost accelerated his pace and began to walk towards the top of the mountain.
With the support of functional drinks, Gu Chen didn't feel too tired at all.
I just feel that the road in front of me is getting steeper and steeper, and at the end, the steepness exceeds 45 degrees.
But at this time, Gu Chen also knew very well that he was very close to the top of the mountain.
If an ordinary person climbed here, every step would feel like he was carrying a huge boulder.
This is also a function of the high altitude and steepness.
Only when he saw the neat fir trees on both sides in front of him did Gu Chen know that he had reached the edge of the top of the mountain.
With a sprint, Gu Chen climbed to the top platform.
At this moment, you can have a panoramic view of a different kind of starry sky.
If you stay in an urban area, surrounded by street lights everywhere, it is difficult to see the true appearance of the sky.
At this moment, the top of the mountain is the best place to observe the stars.
On the left is Xiushan Temple, a recently built Taoist temple.
Gu Chen only remembered that it was an earth slope before, but it was later leveled and this Taoist temple was built.
The surrounding Taoist temple flags fluttered in the wind.
In the center of the top of the mountain, there stands a weather radar with a steel structure.
Looking further to the right, there is a TV tower.
Three structures occupy almost the main position on the top of the mountain.
On the other side, there is a landscape pavilion.
Gu Chen was not sure where the clues given by Wang Xinyu were. So he first walked towards the Taoist temple.
Here is Xiushan Temple, a Taoist building that looks somewhat majestic.
But the light inside was extremely weak.
Gu Chen walked around Xiushan Guan and discovered that there was a small world surrounded by fences on the edge of the Xiushan Guan themed building.
Someone planted various flowers and plants inside, as well as a swing pavilion.
An eye-catching bronze plaque hangs on the wall near the fence.
The bronze plaque reads "No Entry".
Gu Chen looked inside again and saw a Yin Yang Bagua painted on the iron door on the side wall.
Inside the iron door, there are some weak lights.
So Gu Chen asked: "Is anyone here?"
After the words fell, the surroundings were as quiet as before, and there seemed to be no reaction at all.
But Gu Chen was not discouraged and continued to call to the door: "Is anyone here?"
However, after the words fell, there was still no answer in the room.
At this moment, Gu Chen didn't want to waste time here.
The surroundings are quite quiet no matter how you look at them.
It can be said that this beautiful mountain view and the TV tower duty room on the opposite side are the only two light spots on the mountain.
Except for the lights in these two buildings, the only thing left is the iron frame radar in the middle.
But this weather radar is just some edge lights, and no one can live on the iron frame.
Thinking that he should find the residents inside immediately, Gu Chen didn't care too much, climbed over the one-meter-high fence, entered the courtyard, walked to the iron door with the Yin and Yang Bagua diagram, and slammed the door with his hand:
"Is anyone here? Excuse me..."
Before he finished speaking this time, Gu Chen suddenly heard a movement coming from inside the house.
Perhaps his knocking on the door and shouting had disturbed the residents inside.
Gu Chen quickly took two steps back and waited to see what happened.
Not long after, there was a sound of pulling out bolts from behind the iron door, and with a "squeaking" sound, a female Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe looked at Gu Chen, who was wearing a police uniform in front of her, and looked at her in the moonlight.
Face surprised.
"Donor, may I ask why you come to visit our beautiful mountain at night?"
The female Taoist priest also seemed to feel that Gu Chen's visit this time might be for something important.
After all, very few people climb to the top of the mountain at night.
Moreover, Gu Chen was wearing a police uniform, so he was obviously here to investigate something.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, quickly took advantage of the moonlight and carefully looked at the female Taoist priest in front of him.
The female Taoist priest is nearly 50 years old, with many silver threads in her long hair.
Moreover, he must be resting at this time, and his robes are somewhat casually worn.
At this moment, the female Taoist priest is fastening the buttons of her Taoist robe.
"Oh, I'm from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. My name is Gu Chen. I'm here at Xingye this time. I want to know something from you."
Looking at the room behind the female Taoist priest, Gu Chen asked again: "Are you the only one who lives here?"
"That's right." The female Taoist priest nodded silently, also inexplicably.
Mainly because I was curious about Gu Chen's overnight visit.
Gu Chen continued: "Is it convenient to go in and talk?"
"Uh, of course." Although there was a brief hesitation, the female Taoist still gave way and invited Gu Chen into the room to talk in detail.
So the two of them walked into the house one after another. The female Taoist priest turned on the lights, and the whole room instantly became much brighter.
So the female Taoist priest came to a wooden table again, opened the drawer, and started to make tea for Gu Chen.
Although life on the top of the mountain has many inconveniences, it has electricity and many electrical appliances.
The side door where Gu Chen entered from the fenced yard was where the female Taoist priest lived.
From the main entrance, you need to walk up the steps to the entrance of the main hall.
But it is obvious that the door of the main hall has been locked at this moment.
Gu Chen naturally had to look for the light all the way.
"Officer Gu, please have some tea." The female Taoist priest handed the tea to Gu Chen.
After Gu Chen took the paper cup with the words "Xiushan Temple" printed on it, he looked around and quickly observed.
"Judging from the layout, only one person lives here, and all daily necessities are also configured for one person."
Gu Chen thought to himself and continued to observe other corners.
"The shoes are only for female Taoists. It seems Wang Xinyu is not here."
"Officer Gu." Seeing Gu Chen inspecting the room, the female Taoist priest also asked.
"Ah?" Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned to look at the female Taoist priest.
"You haven't said yet, why are you here this time?" the female Taoist priest asked.
"Oh, that's it." Gu Chen put down the teacup in his hand and quickly explained to the female Taoist priest:
"We are currently investigating a case, and the person involved left me a letter, and the content of the letter was four large characters written in blood."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Which four?" the female Taoist looked confused.
"The top of the beautiful mountain." Gu Chen said.
"The top of the beautiful mountain?" The female Taoist priest looked hesitant and said inexplicably: "What does this mean?"
"I don't know either." Gu Chen shook his head and said honestly: "This tip seems more like some kind of tip from the person involved in the case."
"She has used these tips before to keep us busy and even found a rotting corpse that had been buried for many years."
"Is there still... something like this?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, the female Taoist priest suddenly became nervous.
Gu Chen was also observing the changes in the female Taoist's expression. Seeing the hesitation on the female Taoist's face, Gu Chen quickly said:
"The person involved in the case will leave us some investigation clues every time, and these days, we have been conducting investigations based on the clues."
"And the clue in the blood book she provided this time is the top of the beautiful mountain, indicating that the next clue is at the top of the beautiful mountain."
Looking up at the female Taoist priest, Gu Chen also said straight to the point: "So, master, have you seen this person?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen quickly took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed Wang Xinyu's photo in front of the female Taoist priest.
The female Taoist priest also squinted under the indoor light, but quickly waved her hand and denied:
"I don't know, I've never seen this woman before."
"Are you sure?" Gu Chen was a little disappointed, but still wanted to persist.
"I'm sure." The female Taoist seemed to want to get rid of this connection, so she explained in a positive tone:
"I have impressions of the people I have come into contact with, but I have never seen this woman before."
"Since you haven't seen it, why did this person use 'the top of the beautiful mountain' as a prompt?" Gu Chen took back his phone and was thoughtful.
Seeing the female Taoist priest standing on one side at the moment, she seemed to feel confused.
So Gu Chen reminded again: "Master, think about it again, or have there been any suspicious people on the mountain during this time?"
"Suspicious person?" The female Taoist priest looked confused.
Gu Chen nodded in affirmation: "Yes, there are some people who behave very suspiciously."
"Perhaps the person who came to the mountain was not this woman, but her accomplice."
"After all, the top of the beautiful mountain literally means the top of the beautiful mountain."
"So, I have to find someone who lives at the top of Xiushan Mountain to find out."
"Then you can ask that old Liu." said the female Taoist priest.
"Old Liu? Who is Old Liu?" Gu Chen looked curious.
The female Taoist priest quickly explained: "Old Liu is a staff member of the duty room of the TV Tower, which is opposite our Xiushan Temple."
"Aside from me staying at the Taoist temple, only Lao Liu lives here."
After hearing what the female Taoist priest said, Gu Chen turned his head and glanced outside, also thinking thoughtfully: "This old Liu, how much do you know about him?"
"Not many." The female Taoist priest sat on a wooden chair and replied calmly:
"Although I live in a Taoist temple, the incense here has always been tepid. The main reason is that there are relatively few people climbing to the top of the mountain."
"If this Taoist temple was built at the foot of a mountain, it might be a different story."
"So, my daily job is to put incense on the statues in the Taoist temple. Then during normal times, I will practice in the mountains and rarely stay in the Taoist temple."
"So I don't have much interaction with Lao Liu on the other side of the mountain. We just don't look up when we see each other, so we always say hello when we meet."
"What else?" Gu Chen adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder and continued to ask.
"What else? Oh, by the way, Lao Liu opened a canteen on the top of the mountain, right in front of his duty room."
"Usually when tourists go up the mountain, they go to his canteen to buy something."
"So, there should be quite a lot of people who have come into contact with him, and he should know best which people are acting suspiciously."
Seeing that Gu Chen listened carefully and even recorded key points with pen and paper, the female Taoist priest also quickly reminded:
"Compared to Lao Liu, I rarely show my face because I usually lock the main hall door in the Taoist temple so that tourists cannot enter."
"And when I return to the Taoist temple, I will stay in the Taoist temple to practice and rarely interact with tourists outside."
"So, I don't know much about these things outside. If you have any questions, you can go to Lao Liu opposite. He must know more than me."
"Okay." The female Taoist priest didn't seem to be lying.
In other words, the female Taoist priest may be hiding something, but at present, it is difficult for Gu Chen to find out.
So Gu Chen continued to ask: "What is your full name? Can you tell me your ID number?"
"Haha, of course." The female Taoist priest didn't seem to object, and took the initiative to explain to Gu Chen:
"My full name is Zhao Limei, and my ID number is..."
After a brief communication with Gu Chen, Zhao Limei personally escorted Gu Chen to the door, pointed to the TV tower in front and said:
"Did you see it? There is the TV tower over there, and there is a duty room below. That's where Old Liu lives."
"It would be more useful for you to go directly to him than to find me here."
"Okay, thank you." Gu Chen pulled out the iron bolt of the fence and walked out openly this time. After saying goodbye to Zhao Limei, he quickly walked towards the TV tower opposite.
The two buildings, Xiushan Temple and the TV Tower Duty Room, are located at the two edges of the top of Xiushan Mountain.
Walking out of Xiushan Temple, you need to go straight for 50 meters.
At this time, outside the TV tower, Gu Chen walked up the steps and came to the iron gate.
A wooden sign with the word "Shop" painted in red paint is placed in a prominent position on the steps.
Through the iron gate, Gu Chen found that like Xiushan Temple, it also had its own small courtyard.
But compared to the fenced courtyard in Xiushanguan, the courtyard here has very high walls, and the TV tower is built in the courtyard.
The flashlight above is like stars in the dark night, twinkling and shining.
In the middle of the bungalow, there was a weak light.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It seems that the duty officer, Old Liu, lives inside.
So Gu Chen knocked on the iron door and shouted into the room: "Master Liu, is Master Liu here?"
Seeing a commotion from the news channel in the house, Gu Chen knocked on the iron door again and continued to ask: "Excuse me, is there anyone inside?"
After a moment of pause, Gu Chen used his master's level of observation and heard the sound of footsteps coming from inside the house.
As the wooden door creaked open, a middle-aged man wearing slippers also looked around with a flashlight.
When the flashlight light shone on Gu Chen, the middle-aged man's eyes were stunned and he took two tentative steps forward.
When he saw Gu Chen wearing a police uniform, the middle-aged man took a step forward, walked to the iron gate and said, "Excuse me, are you..."
"Oh, I'm from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. My name is Gu Chen. I came here late at night to learn more about the situation."
As Gu Chen spoke, he took out his police ID card.
"Gu Chen? Are you Gu Chen? Are you the star police officer in Furong Branch?" The middle-aged man seemed to know Gu Chen.
Gu Chen also smiled and said, "Do you know me?"
"Hey, the star police officer of Furong Branch, Bai Xiaolan on the TV station often mentions you, how could I not know?"
"Bai Xiaolan?" Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Gu Chen also curiously asked him: "Do you know Bai Xiaolan?"
"More than just acquaintance? We are in the same unit, and I am also from the TV station." The middle-aged man said.
At this moment, Gu Chen raised his head and looked at the tall TV tower in front of him, and then suddenly realized:
"Yes, this is the duty room of the TV tower on the top of the mountain, so your workplace should also be a TV station, right?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man was preparing to open the iron door as he spoke.
But he realized that he didn't bring the key, so he immediately said, "Wait a minute, I'll get the key and open the door for you."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man turned around and left.
Not long after, I took another set of keys and quickly opened the door with my slippers on.
After welcoming Gu Chen into the courtyard, the middle-aged man also took the initiative to invite Gu Chen into the house.
Like the female Taoist priest just now, the middle-aged man quickly went to make tea for Gu Chen.
When Gu Chen saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Master Liu, you're welcome. I already drank tea at the Xiushan Temple just now."
"Oh?" After what Gu Chen said, the middle-aged man stopped making tea, turned around and said, "You know my surname is Liu? The female Taoist priest opposite told you, right?"
"That's right." Gu Chen randomly found a wooden chair and sat down.
Master Liu smiled and said: "Bai Xiaolan often promotes you on the TV station, so everyone in our TV station knows about you, Gu Chen."
"Because I have been working on the top of the mountain, I rarely go down the mountain, so I have never seen you in person."
"Haha." After hearing what Master Liu said, Gu Chen also said humbly: "Bai Xiaolan is a good friend of our Furong branch."
"Yes, that's what this girl said." Master Liu nodded slightly and said politely again:
"Oh, I only saw you Gu Chen on promotional posters before, but I didn't expect to see you in person today. Oh, by the way, why did you run to the top of the mountain alone at night?"
"Oh, that's it." He felt that it was necessary to explain it clearly to Master Liu, so Gu Chen quickly explained:
"We went up the mountain together in a small team. Since I climb the mountain quickly, I got there first, and my other three colleagues arrived soon after."
"Well, let me guess." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Master Liu crossed his arms and walked back and forth in front of Gu Chen, also thinking thoughtfully:
"The other three people should be Lu Weiwei, police officer Wang, and... and Yuan Shasha, right?"
Gu Chen was also quite surprised to see Master Liu being able to explain his team members so clearly.
Before Gu Chen could speak, Master Liu smiled and said, "Don't look at me with such strange eyes. I often watch Bai Xiaolan's "Positive Energy in Action" column."
"Basically these are the ones who will be your partners in the show, and Bai Xiaolan will often introduce you in the column."
"So I've been going back and forth for a long time. I don't think it would be difficult for me not to get to know you."
"Haha, so that's it?" It felt like Master Liu couldn't stop talking about these things.
But this time Gu Chen climbed to the top of the mountain not just to chat with Master Liu, so he quickly explained to him:
"By the way, Master Liu, when you come here this time, we are investigating a case and need your help."
"Investigating the case? Want my help?" He and Gu Chen were still smiling before, but when he heard about the case, Master Liu's expression immediately changed and he said curiously:
"By the way, why did Officer Gu ask me to investigate? I have been working in the duty room and rarely go down the mountain. If you want to investigate the case, I may not be able to help you?"
"Master Liu, please don't worry." Seeing that Master Liu seemed a little nervous, Gu Chen, after turning on the law enforcement recorder, also took out the notebook and quickly reassured him:
"It's like this. We are investigating a case, and there is a female suspect who has been providing us with clues to the case before."
"We also found the top of the mountain based on the clues she provided. We came here this time just to find out the specific situation."
"No...I don't understand." As if he didn't quite understand what Gu Chen meant, Master Liu shook his head and continued to ask:
"What does the female suspect you mentioned have to do with me?"
"She provided us with an address, which is the four characters of 'Top of the Beautiful Mountain', and these writings were all written in blood."
"Blood letter?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Master Liu's brows quickly wrinkled into a deep frown.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and continued to explain in a calm tone:
"The top of Xiushan literally means the top of Xiushan, and as far as I know, this is also the highest peak of Xiushan."
"I just met Master Zhao at the Xiushan Temple and got to know her a little bit."
"Master Zhao said that she usually practices in seclusion, so she rarely has contact with outsiders, and she doesn't know the woman who provided the clues."
"But you are different. You have been active in various corners of the top of the mountain, and you also run a canteen on the top of the mountain."
"According to Master Zhao, many tourists who go up the mountain will buy goods at your canteen."
"Moreover, you know these tourists who go up the mountain best."
"So, who are you looking for?" Master Liu was also confused, nervous and confused.
Gu Chen didn't waste any time. He immediately took out his mobile phone, opened the photo album, showed Wang Xinyu's photo in front of Master Liu and said:
"Her name is Wang Xinyu. She is from another province. Have you ever seen her?"
"Wang Xinyu?" Master Liu squinted his eyes and couldn't help but move closer.
And Gu Chen immediately moved his phone forward.
After a moment of observation, Master Liu seemed to be deep in thought.
Gu Chen did not bother, but waited quietly.
Tens of seconds later, Master Liu looked at Gu Chen with a blank expression, and said thoughtfully: "Officer Gu, I seem to have seen this woman somewhere, but I definitely haven't had anything to do with her recently.
Intersecting.”
"Have you seen her?" Hearing what Master Liu said, Gu Chen's tense nerves suddenly felt relieved.
Compared to the female Taoist priests in Xiushan Temple who knew nothing, at least Master Liu knew something.
So Gu Chen quickly reminded him: "You should think slowly and don't be in a hurry. It is best if you can help me provide some specific information about this woman."
"Officer Gu, tell the truth." Seeing Gu Chen's expectant face, Master Liu seemed a little confused and quickly explained:
"Although the number of tourists who come to the top of the mountain every day is not very large, I basically have some knowledge and have seen some of them."
"But this woman, obviously, I have some impression, but not a deep impression."
"And I haven't seen her recently, so I concluded that I should have seen her before, and it took a long time."
"How long is it exactly? Is it a few years ago?" Gu Chen found the body buried in the No. 2 warehouse of Binjiang Goods Yard based on the envelope prompt given by Wang Xinyu.
Therefore, it can be seen from the autopsy that the deceased should have died several years ago.
A few years ago, Zhao Xiaohu from Binjiang Goods Yard also disappeared mysteriously, and a few years ago, Wang Jiayao, who hanged himself on Reservoir Mountain, divorced his wife.
Therefore, based on these known clues, Gu Chen can now basically conclude that many things may have happened a few years ago.
The reason why Wang Xinyu is so mysterious must also be related to the deceased a few years ago.
Coupled with what Master Liu said just now, Gu Chen also concluded that Master Liu might have had a relationship with Wang Xinyu a few years ago.
Master Liu frowned, looked up at Gu Chen, and said with a blank expression: "It must have been a few years ago, right? But I don't seem to have much memory of what happened a few years ago."
After thinking for a while, Master Liu asked again: "Oh, by the way, besides her, are there anyone else you are looking for?"
"Yes." Seeing Master Liu actively asking for other personnel's information, Gu Chen immediately took back his cell phone, showed the photo of the deceased Wang Jiayao in front of Master Liu and asked:
"This man's name is Wang Jiayao, do you know him?"
"Wang Jiayao?" According to Gu Chen's words, Master Liu repeated Wang Jiayao's name. He also squinted his eyes and quickly fell into deep thought.
There was also a rush of thoughts, as if the previous events were gradually being recalled in my mind.
Master Liu's eyes lit up and he quickly said: "By the way, I have met this person before. A few years ago, this woman named Wang Xinyu and this man Wang Jiayao both came to the top of Xiushan Mountain.
