There are many public toilets in the timber market, but the public toilet mentioned by Crane Hu Lao Hu is located in the corner of the compound of the machinery parking area.
At the edge of the fence, there is a forest outside.
Because the timber market itself is close to the mountains and forests, it seems extremely secretive.
But when Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei followed the crane Lao Hu here, they didn't find anything unusual.
However, it was unexpectedly discovered that part of the bricks on one side of the toilet wall had collapsed due to the old wall.
In this way, the originally low wall formed a gentle area on the slope outside.
It was not difficult for Gu Chen to tell from the condition of the lawn outside the fence that people often passed by here.
There are weeds on both sides, but a piece of mud is exposed in the middle. This is of course not natural, but a dirt road that has been trampled by many people.
"Could it be that people from outside can enter the inside from the outside of the wall at will?" Gu Chen asked the crane man beside him, Hu.
Craneman Lao Hu also nodded and said, "Yes, it's just for convenience, because through this forest, you can reach a reservoir, and many people like to go fishing there."
"If you want to go outside the market, you have to take a lot of detours. If you go here, you will save a little more distance."
"So just for convenience, many people climb over the wall from here to the woods outside, and then go to the reservoir to fish?" Lu Weiwei also asked in confusion.
Craneman Lao Hu crossed his arms and said thoughtfully, "That's about right. Some people also drive there because there is a dirt road in the forest."
"Anyway, if you have a car, you can drive a little more detour. If you don't have a car, then climb over the wall from here, and then go through the forest. It won't take you very far."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Hu walked directly to the toilet.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei asked casually: "What are you going to do?"
"We're going to the bathroom, do you want to come together?" Crane Lao Hu joked.
"Forget it." After hearing what Old Hu said, Lu Weiwei did not argue with him, but looked at Gu Chen beside her.
At this moment, Gu Chen also had a plan in mind, so he climbed over the wall and jumped to a slope outside.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei also lay down at the gap in the wall and asked: "Junior Brother Gu, are you going to the reservoir?"
"Let's go and take a look." Gu Chen couldn't say what was wrong, but he always felt that the road leading to the reservoir seemed to be full of stories.
Thinking that Gu Chen was going to conduct an on-site investigation, Lu Weiwei didn't waste any time and climbed over the damaged wall and jumped down.
Due to the gap in the damaged wall and the location of the opposite slope, the height difference is not large, so there is not much technical content, and both men and women can pass.
Gu Chen supported the fallen Lu Weiwei and turned on the bright flashlight he carried with him.
Soon, a forest suddenly appeared in the originally dark area.
And in front of the woods, Gu Chen found a dirt road.
"Let's go over and have a look." Gu Chen said.
Lu Weiwei nodded silently and followed.
As the walking made some faint noises, the birds resting in the forest suddenly made a noise.
Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and quickly moved closer to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen was not in a hurry to walk through the forest, but stood at the entrance of the forest road and carefully observed the surrounding environment.
Outside the wall, there is a gravel road, which seems to have been simply renovated, and the road is a bit bumpy.
But judging from the traces of the dirt road, vehicles often pass here, and various tire marks are very obvious.
Gu Chen then shined the flashlight light into the forest, and a winding road in the forest immediately made people feel shuddering.
Most of the trees here are tall fir trees. Standing in front of the big trees, people look extremely small.
"Junior Brother Gu, are you sure you want to go in and take a look?" Lu Weiwei asked again for confirmation.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, then took out his mobile phone and clicked on the satellite map.
So Liang said in front of Lu Weiwei: "Sister Lu, look, the reservoir is at the other end of the forest. It only takes ten minutes to walk. Why don't we go over and have a look."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." It felt like Gu Chen's idea was right, but it still felt a little weird walking through such a quiet forest at night.
As Gu Chen walked through the intersection, he looked left and right at the situation on both sides.
It was discovered that this was a T-junction, and the dirt road ran parallel to the wall, leading to an unknown area.
But Gu Chen could see from the map on his mobile phone that there was a village at the end of the road.
Because this village is located not far from the timber market, and the main road leading to the village is on the other side of the village.
Therefore, this gravel road has actually become another road option for the village to go outside.
But Gu Chen didn't care about this at the moment, but planned to go to the reservoir on the other side of the forest to take a look.
"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
The two walked through the woods, their shoes rustling on the gravel.
Lu Weiwei followed Gu Chen, constantly looking at the coordinate displacement of the map on her mobile phone.
The originally 15-minute walk took 18 minutes because of the slower walking speed at night.
When they reached the end of the last curve in front of them, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei clearly felt that the wind blowing on their faces was getting stronger.
When the two of them moved forward again, a medium-sized reservoir appeared in front of them.
Since there is no vegetation to block it, the evening wind blowing from the other side of the reservoir seems to be stronger than from other places.
"This is where they often fish?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but explain as she took a few steps forward.
"There is a gate at the other end of the reservoir. When there is a lot of water, the gate will release water regularly to control the amount of water."
"But the fish here should be wild fish and are not raised on a large scale."
"But it is not difficult to find that in recent years, many people who are dedicated to Buddha will regularly follow the life release groups and come to the reservoir to release animals regularly."
Gu Chen also casually stated what he knew about the situation.
This suddenly reminded Lu Weiwei of the fake temple case that she and Gu Chen had solved together.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help laughing and said: "Junior Brother Gu, do you still remember the fake temple case we cracked?"
"Of course I remember." Gu Chen stayed there for a few seconds, then continued walking towards the reservoir, and said casually:
"Back then, we, Senior Brother Wang, Xiao Yu and others pretended to be tourists and went to investigate the reservoir near the fake temple."
"Not only is that temple fake, but the monks are also fake. Life release turns out to be a complete industrial chain."
"That fake monk, under the pretext of organizing the release of animals, goes to the aquatic product market every day to wholesale large quantities of fish fry and aquatic products at low prices, and then sells them to those who release them at high prices."
"After these releasers are designated to release the animals in that reservoir, the fake monks will team up with others to fish out the fish fry and aquatic products from the reservoir and sell them to the aquatic product wholesalers."
"This goes over and over again, allowing those who release lives to keep paying, while the fake monks make a lot of money relying on this industry chain."
"Yes, so Junior Brother Gu still remembers it?" Thinking of the case she and Gu Chen solved together, Lu Weiwei still feels that this fake monk is really willing to spend a lot of money in order to deceive the trust of these elderly releasers.
Next to the reservoir, a fake temple was built without hesitation.
This shocked Lu Weiwei's outlook at the time.
Therefore, Lu Weiwei understands very well that life release is, in the final analysis, a business.
Nowadays, many release enthusiasts like to release fish fry into reservoirs and rivers, which to a certain extent increases the variety of organisms in the water basin.
But there are also some alien species that have caused a lot of damage to the ecological environment.
The current reservoir has basically become a holy place for swimming enthusiasts and some fishing enthusiasts.
This is also the reason why the market walls are damaged and collapsed, but no one repairs them for a long time.
Gu Chen guessed that a large part of the reason may be intentional sabotage in order to take shortcuts.
From the bare dirt road among the weeds, it is easy to see that there will be many people in the market going to the reservoir to fish.
I thought He Liqiang might also know about this road, and it might be related to something happening at the reservoir.
Feeling that he couldn't care too much, Gu Chen continued walking forward until he reached the edge of the reservoir.
Since the reservoir is large and there are no night fishermen around, Gu Chen can only observe the strange things around him.
There will be some discarded garbage here, broken lighters underfoot, and some cigarette butts stuck in the soil.
As well as cans and some fishing bait packaging bags.
"This place looks ordinary, is there anything unusual?" Lu Weiwei looked around, but couldn't see many problems.
Gu Chen was seen standing at the edge of the reservoir, carefully observing the surrounding situation. Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ask him.
"Maybe I'm worrying too much, or maybe He Liqiang hasn't been here at night."
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen added, "But one thing is, if there has been anything unusual happening around here recently, we can go check it out."
"For example, isn't there a village on the other side of the road where we came in from the entrance?"
"Junior brother Gu, what you mean is that we have to go to that village at night to have a look?" It felt like Gu Chen was really good at making troubles, and Lu Weiwei also asked for his opinion.
Gu Chen smiled slightly: "Maybe a blind cat can meet a dead mouse?"
"I always feel that it is not that simple for He Liqiang to work part-time at night, and when he was threatened by Huang Zhiqiang, he directly told the location where he knew a fortune."
"Although that location is fictitious, could it be that this location really exists and that He Liqiang blurted it out uncontrollably when he was forced into a desperate situation?"
"After all, when people face death, sometimes they can't let go of the things they care about most, some of which are their families, and some of which are their unspent money."
"Well, I think the latter is very likely." Listening to Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei felt more and more that He Liqiang seemed to have a considerable fortune.
And this wealth was hidden somewhere by him. Before he could enjoy it, Huang Zhiqiang threatened him with a knife.
In desperation, he jumped over the wall and blurted out unconsciously, revealing the secret he had hidden.
The purpose was to allow Huang Zhiqiang to let himself go.
But it was precisely this unconsciousness that made Gu Chen feel psychologically that He Liqiang seemed to value this place in his subconscious mind.
Especially when Gu Chen asked whether this matter was true or not, Gu Chen was actually carefully observing the changes in He Liqiang's demeanor.
It can be said that at that moment, He Liqiang was also nervous and was holding back.
Gu Chen also accumulated a lot of experience due to interrogating too many suspects.
For someone like He Liqiang, Gu Chen felt that he was obviously hiding something from him.
But without evidence, it is difficult to get the desired results just by guessing.
Is this why? Gu Chen chose to come here to conduct an on-site investigation in person because he wanted to use He Liqiang’s network to get some useful clues from the people around him.
In this way, Gu Chen could have a more comprehensive understanding of He Liqiang from the side.
Returning to the T-intersection just now, Gu Chen chose to turn right and go directly to the nearby village.
Because the market is built close to the woods.
The equipment parking area is the innermost part of the market section.
As for this village, when Gu Chen walked to the outskirts of the village, he already clearly felt that the wealth here was actually far beyond his imagination.
Although the gravel road is not the main road of the village, the buildings in the village are almost all townhouses.
Moreover, every household has a yard, which looks very neatly built.
"My guess is that this timber market was built on the land of this village, so the village made a lot of money from selling the land, so it can be so wealthy."
Looking at the townhouse in front of her, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but say.
"Maybe." Gu Chen took a deep breath and continued walking inside.
Not long after, Gu Chen discovered a road ringing the village.
This road around the village is located on the outskirts of the village.
Through the road around the village, many roads in the village are almost arranged vertically and horizontally in a grid pattern.
No matter which road you walk into the village, you can basically reach any building you want to go to.
There are solar street lights outside the village, which are still lighting the village road at this moment.
The side close to the forest seems relatively quiet, but the side near the other end of the village, towards the main road leading outside, is obviously much busier.
Gu Chen could even hear the sound of playing cards.
He wanted to come to the village to understand the situation, so Gu Chen urgently needed to find the villagers and find out if anything strange had happened in the village recently.
"Junior Brother Gu, there is someone there." Lu Weiwei pointed to a small square in the village and said.
"Let's go over and have a look." Gu Chen didn't care too much at the moment and walked over directly with Lu Weiwei.
Since the village is a townhouse structure, but there are no guardrails and walls around it, all roads here lead to the square.
Under a larger streetlight in the square, a group of white-haired men were gathering together to play cards and have fun.
And there are many vehicles with foreign license plates parked here.
Gu Chen knew that there might be many businessmen renting houses in the market, and the residents here might also be non-locals.
"Excuse me." Gu Chen walked forward and took the initiative to say hello.
