Seeing that Ge Bin had taken care of the matter, Gu Chen no longer worried about it. He was now eager to find the whereabouts of Huba, Zhao Lei, and the two missing men and women.
But Gu Chen also knew very well that in this strange jungle, the dark night was full of unknown risks.
The locals still don't know what kind of beast is hidden in the dark night? They don't dare to move forward rashly.
And I have no idea about the terrain in this area.
Because apart from the road from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain, Gu Chen didn't know much about other areas of Fairy Peak.
This is why Gu Chen desperately wants to rely on Ge Bin and other local people to help him find the missing people.
As whistles sounded at the scene, people came to the top of the mountain one after another and ran to the fire to keep warm.
Ge Bin, on the other hand, stood at the intersection at the top of the mountain and kept counting people.
From time to time, people who go up the mountain will also be asked how far away other people are.
After confirming that everyone's movements were within his control, Ge Bin breathed a sigh of relief.
When the last group of people climbed to the top of the mountain one after another, Ge Bin hurried to the campfire and reminded Gu Chen:
"Officer Gu, our people are all here."
"Very good." Gu Chen glanced around, picked up a thick tree trunk from his feet, and said:
"Now, everyone is asking me to find a similar stick for self-defense."
"Did you hear that? Everyone, go look around and look for something a little thicker. Don't fool yourself. This is your own life-saving weapon."
Ge Bin also explained it to everyone again based on Gu Chen's wishes.
Seeing this, everyone could only disperse to the surroundings again.
Gu Chen also needs to ensure the safety of these people. It is impossible to exchange the lives of these people for the whereabouts of missing people.
Fortunately, there are many trees on the top of Fairy Peak.
Many people who go up the mountain carry certain knives with them.
Everyone immediately started cutting down the surrounding tree trunks, and then used knives to shape them into handy weapons.
At this moment, Lu Weiwei got a thick stick from nowhere and walked directly up to it with Officer Wang.
Compared with Lu Weiwei, the one in Officer Wang's hand obviously pales in comparison.
"Old Wang, why don't you look for another one? Yours doesn't seem to be strong."
"You don't have to worry about it." Seeing Lu Weiwei pretending to be a good person here, Officer Wang also said angrily:
"I was obviously the one who discovered the stick in your hand just now, but you picked it up. How dare you say that?"
Officer Wang seemed to be very upset about Lu Weiwei taking the wooden stick from his hand.
But Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "You saw this stick first, but this stick is next to me. If you don't pick it up, you won't pick it up."
"Senior Brother Wang, why don't you just use it, it feels okay." As Yuan Shasha spoke, she held a wooden stick in her hand that was thicker than Lu Weiwei.
Officer Wang's eyes were stunned, and he waved his hands and said: "Forget it, there are more people and more power. I don't believe that we will encounter wild animals tonight."
"So what if it's an aggressive beast like a wild boar? Will I, Old Wang, be afraid?"
"Old Wang, don't be so harsh. I feel like it's eerie in the mountains tonight." He Junchao looked around and whispered into Officer Wang's ear:
"Also, didn't you listen to Ge Bin and the others? The little girl of the family that disappeared more than ten years ago would wear red clothes and often appear in this mountain forest."
"Huh?" After hearing He Junchao's words, everyone looked at him with disbelief.
He was the one who said Ge Bin was talking nonsense before, but now he is the one who mentioned this matter.
Feeling that He Junchao was scared, Lu Weiwei directly poked the boss and said: "He Junchao, don't you believe this too?"
"This... of course I don't believe this." He Junchao heard this and immediately retorted harshly.
At this moment, Gu Chen also walked over from one side, checked the tools in everyone's hands, and reminded them:
"I just looked at the scene, and I didn't find any traces of wild beasts. I suspect that there is something fishy about the blood, maybe it was left over from a fight between people."
"Fighting between personnel?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei, who had previously been convinced that wild beasts would attack humans, suddenly had other thoughts.
After all, the atmosphere had been exaggerated by Ge Bin to such an extent. He talked about the previous battles between wild boars and humans and dogs, and now Gu Chen said that there were no wild animals attacking humans.
Lu Weiwei didn't know what to do for a while.
But after all, Gu Chen's judgment is very reliable.
Officer Wang also looked puzzled and said: "Gu Chen, tell me the truth, what do you think is going on at the scene?"
"I suspect that two groups of people met and then had a conflict, which resulted in someone being injured," Gu Chen said.
"That means that the conflict may have been between Huba and Zhao Lei, and the man and woman? After all, there are only these four people in this mountain." Lu Weiwei also expressed her general understanding based on her previous knowledge.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and echoed: "This possibility cannot be ruled out, but what we need to do now is to follow the blood stains and find the source as soon as possible."
"After all, it's still snowing heavily, and the traces will soon be covered by heavy snow, which is very detrimental to our investigation."
"That's right." Yuan Shasha on the side also nodded in agreement and couldn't help but say:
"With this kind of bad weather, any trace is easily destroyed. What we lack now is time."
Glancing at the people behind her who were gathering around the fire, Yuan Shasha said angrily:
"But looking at the current situation, it's a question of whether these people can withstand the cold and find help in the snow."
"There is no way, we must find Huba and others as soon as possible." Gu Chen now has no time to wait any longer.
So Gu Chen came to the campfire.
At this moment, Ge Bin was also warming himself by the fire, and his companions who had been scattered before were now gathered together.
Everyone also had some wooden sticks in their hands for self-defense.
Not only that, many people also found dry firewood to refill the bonfire.
"Captain Ge, it's time for us to set off." Gu Chen needed Ge Bin as a guide and reminded him again.
Ge Bin responded, adding the firewood in his hand to the bonfire, clapped his hands, then picked up a wooden stick on the ground and said: "Everyone, listen, now we have to set off to find people."
"But I took a quick look and found that some people could no longer walk, so I decided to leave a group of people and continue to light the fire here, while the others followed me."
After a pause, Ge Bin said again: "Anyone who is willing to leave, come with me."
After the words fell, the scene became extremely quiet. Everyone looked at each other, but no one had any intention of taking action.
Ge Bin felt a little embarrassed for a moment and looked at Gu Chen.
Gu Chen came to everyone and said, "Who are the weak ones?"
The fat man and several panting men raised their hands at the same time.
Others also wanted to raise their hands, but Ge Bin gave a "tsk" and immediately retracted their arms.
Gu Chen mobilized and said: "Everyone's account books are still in my hands. Of course, I don't want to threaten you, but saving people is a top priority. I hope everyone will not shirk it."
Looking up at the sky, the heavy snowfall at this moment had already dyed Gu Chen's eyebrows white. Gu Chen lowered his head and said again:
"The snow is getting heavier and heavier now. If we don't take action, those traces are likely to be covered by heavy snow."
"At that time, if everyone wants to search again, it may take more time, so everyone takes action to find the missing persons."
"Find them earlier, let's go home earlier, everyone agrees, okay?"
"good!"
Gu Chen's words seemed to have a brainwashing function. After Gu Chen's mobilization just now, everyone suddenly felt that the atmosphere had reached this point, and you had to agree even if you didn't agree.
Seeing this, Ge Bin pointed at a few weaklings at random and said: "You, you, you, and you, the four of you stay here, be careful not to leave the bonfire, and pay attention to the safety of the surroundings."
"If necessary, remember to blow the whistle, do you understand?"
"Understood." After receiving exemptions from Ge Bin and Gu Chen, the four weaklings also nodded.
But the large army moved away, leaving four people standing guard on the top of the mountain.
Although there was a bonfire, everyone did not feel safe.
After counting the number of people, Gu Chen and Ge Bin determined that there were 22 police officers from Furong Branch and the locals brought by Ge Bin, except for the four who stayed behind.
So everyone started to search for the traces of blood splatter with the wooden sticks and flashlights in their hands.
Gu Chen and Ge Bin walked side by side at the front.
When it comes to searching for clues, Gu Chen is a good hand. What he lacks is just an excellent guide.
Ge Bin, on the other hand, followed Gu Chen, constantly alert to the surrounding situation.
There are 20 people following behind, which is enough to embolden everyone.
No one dared to disperse and could only gather together.
The blood and footprints in front are still there, and Gu Chen can search along the way based on the depressed marks.
He also reminded everyone behind him from time to time to walk along his and Ge Bin's footprints and not to destroy the original footprints.
However, when Gu Chen and Ge Bin led everyone to an empty mountainside location, the footprints and blood stains that had existed before had now disappeared.
Ge Bin walked back and forth, returned to Gu Chen and reminded, "Officer Gu, the blood and footprints are gone."
"It was erased on purpose." Gu Chen reminded him with the wooden stick in his hand and the guidance of the flashlight: "Look at this."
After hearing this, everyone gathered together.
"What happened? Someone obviously used a wooden stick to erase the footprints." Lu Weiwei also discovered something fishy at the scene.
Officer Wang crossed his arms and thought, "If that's the case, that would be troublesome. Maybe what we have to face is not some mountain beast, but a human being."
"That's right." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha also expressed her opinion:
"This is obviously a trace that has been manually erased. Some people are afraid of being followed, so they are subconsciously clearing the traces."
"This man used a branch or some other tool to erase his footprints. Moreover, I suspect that the man had been walking backwards, erasing the traces as he walked backwards."
"Xiao Yuan, you want to go with me." He Junchao couldn't help but say after hearing this.
Obviously, He Junchao and Yuan Shasha both want to go together.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and agreed: "Xiao Yuan's statement is indeed very reasonable, and I suspect that it may be two people who erased the traces."
"Two people?" Ge Bin didn't quite understand what Gu Chen meant.
Lu Weiwei on the side quickly explained: "It probably means that the blood stains are human blood. Maybe this person was carried by one of them and was going to a certain place."
"But if this person is carrying a bleeding person while going backwards to erase traces in the snow, this is obviously unrealistic."
After a pause, Lu Weiwei added: "So, what we mean is that one person will take the injured person to a certain place in the mountain, while the other person will be responsible for cutting off the rear and covering up his own footprints."
"After all, it was not difficult to find the footprints along our route just now. The footprints are quite messy. They are probably the traces left by two people."
"This... why can't I understand this?" Although Ge Bin could understand Lu Weiwei's explanation, he couldn't understand the purpose of doing so. So he was confused.
Gu Chen explained: "We suspect that the traces of fighting on the top of the mountain were not caused by people and animals, but between people."
"Between people?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Ge Bin started thinking subconsciously. After a moment, he also raised his head and looked at Gu Chen and said:
"In this mountain, there are only those two senior travel companions and the missing man and woman."
"If those two senior travel friends are a team, then they will definitely not kill each other."
"As for the man and woman, maybe it was this man and woman who had a conflict with two travel companions, and someone was injured in the end."
Looking at the erased traces on the ground, Ge Bin said with a worried look: "But now, the situation seems to have become much more complicated. What are they doing? Why are they fighting? And why are they moving?"
"Could it be that these two senior travel friends met the man and woman on the top of the mountain, and then the two sides clashed?"
"It's very possible." Gu Chen said.
Ge Bin slapped his bald head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "What are these two gangs trying to do?"
"It's good if we know." Officer Wang walked to Gu Chen and reminded him:
"Gu Chen, if this group of people wants to move while also erasing their traces to avoid being tracked, then it's obvious that they can't go far and they should be nearby."
"But comrade police, why don't you look at where this place is?" Ge Bin pointed forward with a sad look on his face and reminded:
"Look, look at this forest. You can walk everywhere. Who knows which direction they will go?"
"Aren't you a guide? Can't you tell?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Ge Bin was embarrassed for two seconds, and then defended himself: "We are just familiar with the forest. We are not gods and cannot predict the future."
Turning to look around, Ge Bin also cried bitterly: "If I can't find the footprints, I may not be able to do anything."
Seeing Ge Bin, he also started to feel discouraged, but Gu Chen couldn't be discouraged.
Now I am the leader of this team, and Ge Bin is my guide.
If you want to urge Ge Bin to do things, mobilization alone is useless. The key is to have goals.
But now, the footprints in the snow have been erased.
Coupled with the heavy snow cover, it is actually difficult to see the corresponding traces in many places.
Gu Chen looked around and found a raised rock.
So Gu Chen began to walk quickly towards the rock, climbed up the rock, and began to analyze and judge the opponent's direction based on the surrounding terrain.
