"Swish, swish, swish!" The owner of the spicy strip factory sat on the steps nearby and wrote down the details of the dealer very seriously.
Of course, given the current situation, it was understandable that Gu Chen didn't believe him.
On the one hand, the behavior of the boss of the spicy strip factory does not conform to normal logic.
The explanation he gave now was that the dealership in Haidong City had a problem with the payment, and they urgently needed to get back the spicy strips they sold earlier, otherwise they would lose both money and goods.
This is a way to stop losses in time.
But if the owner of the spicy strip factory does something under his nose, then he must make him pay the corresponding price.
"Comrade police." Just as Gu Chen was thinking, the owner of the spicy strip factory had already handed him the written contact information and said:
"These are the list of dealers from Haidong City who returned the goods and I reissued them."
"Thank you." Gu Chen took it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
It can be said that the owner of the spicy strip factory does not have many customers for secondary shipments. There are only three customers, two of them are in Jiangnan City, and one is in a sister city next to Jiangnan City.
However, with the clues provided by the boss of the spicy strip factory, Gu Chen felt that it would not be difficult to find out the source of this batch of goods.
So Gu Chen asked the owner of the spicy strip factory: "Do you still have the delivery list?"
"Yes." said the owner of the spicy strip factory.
"Compile the list." Gu Chen said.
"But." The boss of the spicy strip factory frowned and said helplessly: "But the list is in my factory."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Chen guessed that he would say this, glanced at Ji Zhe beside him, and said:
"Jizhe, go with Wu Xiaofeng and go back to his spicy strip factory with this boss and find me the list of secondary shipments."
"In addition, the quantity of spicy strips shipped several times in the past must also be checked with the quantity in the second shipment list and the inventory in the factory."
"Understood." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Ji Zhe understood Gu Chen's intention.
The quantity returned from Haidong City is equal to the quantity shipped twice by the owner of the spicy strip factory plus the quantity in stock.
If the spicy strip factory did not produce other goods during this period, then it is easy to calculate these quantities.
If the spicy tiao factory continues to produce spicy tiao these days, then you can also check the specific quantity by adding another production quantity.
Under the escort of Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe, the owner of the spicy strip factory was taken away from the scene again.
At this moment, the police dog is still in the truck, searching for various spicy sticks, but so far, nothing has been found.
So Zhang Da walked up to Gu Chen and asked weakly: "Comrade police, look, this search has no results, but our freight station will continue to operate later, look..."
Gu Chen understood what he meant, so he said: "Except for these four vehicles and these goods, which temporarily need supervision, we will not affect the normal operation of your freight station."
"Oh! That's fine." After getting Gu Chen's satisfactory answer, Zhang Da asked again: "Then... can I go to work?"
"Excuse me." Gu Chen did not discover Zhang Da's illegal behavior during this search, so he could only temporarily let Zhang Da go to deal with work matters.
Not long after, many freight station staff who had been investigated began to return one after another.
But the four vans were still parked on one side of the platform.
Gu Chen brought Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang to the search scene.
The third-level superintendent, who was holding the police dog, was still concentrating at this moment, searching each carton one by one.
But now there is still no gain, so the third-level superintendent has become impatient.
Seeing that Gu Chen was already standing behind him, the third-level superintendent quickly turned around and greeted Gu Chen: "Gu Bureau."
"How is the situation?" Gu Chen asked him quickly.
"Not very good." The third-level police officer shook his head and looked helpless: "We searched here for a long time, but the police dogs did not find any suspicious substances."
"Is this police dog reliable? These are spicy strips, and the dog may be affected by these scents." Officer Wang is also worried that police dogs are easily paralyzed by delicious food, so he also wants to give a warning.
But the third-level superintendent said with confidence: "Don't worry, my police dog is the best in Jiangnan City. I fully believe that my comrades can resist the temptation."
"However, if there are no suspicious substances in these spicy sticks, then no matter how carefully we search, it will be useless."
"You have to take your time with this, don't rush." Lu Weiwei knew that there was nothing to gain now, so she could only say a few words of comfort for the time being.
Afterwards, Gu Chen and others left the search site and came to a shady place.
The platform site at the freight station is still surrounded by police officers, conducting intensive inspections.
Lu Weiwei folded her arms and leaned against a wall. She also said dejectedly, "Junior brother Gu, I feel like we really made a mistake this time?"
"How do you say it?" Gu Chen asked her calmly.
Lu Weiwei turned sideways and said metaphorically: "Look, the spicy strips sent from Haidong City are all returned, and they are sent from different warehouses."
"If the results of the investigation by Officer Xiaoxuan are consistent with what the owner of the spicy strip factory said, it means that they did not deceive us."
"Also, look at Zhang Da and the others, they don't seem to be panicking."
"Just now, our police dogs were searching there, and I paid close attention to the changes in Zhang Da's expression."
"Logically speaking, if Zhang Da has something up his sleeve, he will definitely peek over there from time to time, but he didn't do that, which is very suspicious."
"But what if they have a good heart?" Officer Wang said.
Lu Weiwei shook her head: "It's not impossible, but I always have a bad feeling. Is our investigation direction wrong?"
"Are you doubting Gu Chen's judgment?" Officer Wang continued to ask.
Lu Weiwei immediately retorted emotionally: "I didn't, it's just that everything that happens now feels normal."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Sister Lu's idea is not wrong." After listening to Lu Weiwei's analysis, Gu Chen also crossed his arms and walked back and forth in front of everyone, and said slowly:
"But have you ever thought about it? The more things look normal, there may be some deliberate traces behind them."
"You mean?" Officer Wang seemed to have guessed something?
Lu Weiwei also quickly said: "Junior Brother Gu means, maybe these guys are deliberately putting on a show for us?"
"They may have known how we would act from the beginning, and then deliberately exposed some suspicious issues to attract our attention."
"However, they used normal methods to operate these suspicious places."
Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei raised her head and said: "For example, these trucks that frequently send goods from Haidong City to Jiangnan City these days may have had problems before."
"But recently they discovered that our police's investigation was a bit intensive, so they deliberately sent these normal spicy strips to the freight station so that our police could inspect them."
"However, they clearly know that there is nothing wrong with these goods, but in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of our police, they still deliberately put on a painful show for us?"
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Before Gu Chen could speak, Officer Wang agreed and said, "Don't say it yet, it's very likely that this is the case."
"Those people are as cunning as foxes now."
After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "Do you still remember? Not long ago, we were investigating Zhou Xiaotong's whereabouts and came to the dense forest behind."
"But what was the result? Someone was following us all the way, and they demolished all the signs we made along the way, creating various obstacles for us."
"And when we investigated based on clues and found out that Zhuang Qiang's apprentice He Xu was probably the suspect who was following us, the alibi of He Xu soon appeared."
"They said that He Xu had been staying at the entrance of the spicy tiao factory owner, but just before that, the surveillance camera at the entrance of the spicy tiao factory was deliberately damaged."
"It seems that all of this happened by coincidence, but in fact there is only one purpose, which is to destroy the evidence of He Xu's alibi."
After a pause and trying to calm down, Officer Wang said in a bad mood:
"No matter how you look at it, this group of people is causing trouble. As long as we can't find evidence that He Xu is following us, and we can't prove that He Xu was not waiting at the door of the spicy strip factory owner."
"Then all this seems very reasonable."
Glancing at his colleagues on the other side of the platform who were still inspecting, Officer Wang turned around and said, "For example, in this inspection, everything seems normal. This seems to be very similar to their usual methods."
"Their characteristic is that they can predict what step we will take next. It's like, if they know which card you are going to play next, how can you play with them?"
"Yes." Facing Officer Wang's various analyses, Gu Chen nodded in response:
"The situations mentioned by Senior Brother Wang really need to attract our attention. These people are different from other groups we have solved cases before."
"They seem to be more difficult to deal with. Moreover, they commit crimes in groups. There must be other problems here."
With a sigh, Gu Chen also said calmly: "Now let's see if Officer Xiaoxuan can bring us some clues to break through."
"If there is no problem with this batch of goods, or in other words, there is no problem with the spicy noodles returned to the Jiangnan City Freight Station before, then the dealer in Haidong City needs to focus on investigation."
"If the final result is that it is true that due to real estate speculation, my business has incurred huge debts, and I have no choice but to be unable to settle the payments of these food suppliers."
"So, they may have planned it carefully, but there is one thing we need to pay attention to."
"Which point?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously after listening to Gu Chen's careful analysis.
Gu Chen replied: "That is, in a short period of time, these clues need to be completed seamlessly, but I don't think so."
"Because Zhou Xiaotong's disappearance happened in the past few days, they are not necessarily sure that Zhou Xiaotong's disappearance will bring out so many hidden dangers."
"Our further investigation is what forces them to use this tactic to cover up clues, so..."
"So what Junior Brother Gu means is that even if they have extraordinary abilities, they will still be full of loopholes because of the rush of time."
"Although the clues revealed to us are probably what they want us to see."
"But in fact, maybe they just want to use these false clues to distract us and cover up other evidence?"
"Yeah." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen nodded silently: "That's pretty much what it means, but for now, I feel that Haidong City needs to make more efforts."
"Otherwise, it would be difficult to make any major breakthroughs by relying on our investigation alone. After all, the clues have been covered up one step ahead of time."
"It's difficult to find loopholes in other people's rules of the game, at least it's difficult now."
Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei also sighed softly and muttered: "I hope Officer Xiaoxuan can be more helpful and help us find that dealer."
As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Xiaoxuan's call suddenly came to Gu Chen's mobile phone.
Without saying anything, Gu Chen directly opened the answer button: "Officer Xiaoxuan."
"Gu Bureau, my colleague has gone to help investigate the matter you arranged for us, but unfortunately, we are currently unable to contact the dealer you provided."
"What did you say? Can't be contacted?" After hearing Officer Xiaoxuan's complaint, Gu Chen quickly said:
"Didn't I provide you with the dealer's phone number, the location of his stall, and the location of his warehouse?"
"With so many stalls and warehouses, he should have a lot of employees."
"If that's the case, you should be able to find him by asking the employees down here."
"No, you are wrong." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Officer Xiaoxuan complained:
"It's a pity. We did send people to investigate and find people one by one according to the address you provided."
"As a result, all the stalls were closed and the warehouses were also closed."
"We also found the warehouse where the goods were shipped yesterday based on the oral statements of nearby residents."
"But after investigation, we found out that that batch of goods, that is, the goods in those four trucks, were the last batch of goods in this warehouse."
"So?" Hearing this, Gu Chen already had an ominous premonition.
Officer Xiaoxuan didn't hide anything and said straight to the point: "So, the result of our investigation is that the dealer named Hu Peng has disappeared long ago."
"The phone couldn't be reached. My colleagues also contacted some of Hu Peng's staff through some channels."
"According to their explanation, they communicated with Hu Peng on the phone yesterday about the delivery issue, but they have lost contact today."
"What?" Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang, already aware of the seriousness of the situation.
Gu Chen felt that Hu Peng's disappearance might not be short-lived, but a means by these people to cover up the truth.
So Gu Chen quickly asked: "Can you use your surveillance technology to capture Hu Peng's specific whereabouts?"
"Of course it's okay." It felt like Gu Chen's request was not too much, but Officer Xiaoxuan still said truthfully:
"Our technical investigators are now looking for Hu Peng's whereabouts, but there are still no clues."
"So, based on Officer Xiaoxuan's analysis, what do you think is going on in this situation?" Gu Chen also handed over the power of analysis to Officer Xiaoxuan.
Officer Xiaoxuan on the other end of the phone paused for a few seconds before cautiously answering:
"Gu Bureau, based on my experience, I feel that this dealer Hu Peng has probably run away."
"Because based on the clues you provided, our colleagues here have also conducted corresponding investigations."
"I discovered that this Hu Peng was indeed in the non-staple food wholesale business before, but he was also speculating on real estate. In recent years, there has indeed been a shortage of funds."
"But now, we don't know much about Hu Peng's sudden disappearance, but please rest assured that we will definitely send more manpower to try to find this Hu Peng."
"I think it's hard for you to find Hu Peng anymore." Officer Xiaoxuan here spoke politely, but Gu Chen directly poured cold water on her.
"Ah?" Officer Xiaoxuan on the other end of the phone was stunned and didn't respond. He quickly asked Gu Chen:
"Gu Bureau, you mean?"
"They will not give you another chance to find this Hu Peng, because this Hu Peng is the key to the clue."
"If the clues provided by the suspects here are lies, then as long as we find your dealer named Hu Peng in Haidong City, all the answers can be solved."
"Whether they are lying or not, the key point lies in this Hu Peng. But now, Hu Peng mysteriously disappeared at a critical moment."
When Gu Chen said this, he also took a deep breath.
This seems to be a familiar smell again, exactly the same as when everyone was tracking down He Xu.
At every critical moment, there may always be factors that prevent the investigation from proceeding.
Last time, the surveillance at the entrance of the Spicy Tiao Factory was deliberately sabotaged by unknown persons. This time, Hu Peng, a non-staple food distributor in Haidong City, mysteriously disappeared.
It seems reasonable, but in fact, there are obvious traces of human manipulation.
Just now, when Gu Chen was analyzing with Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang, he had already mentioned the urgency of this gang.
Because the investigation team led by Gu Chen has made rapid progress in the investigation, it may cause the gang to be in chaos in covering up clues.
At this time, some smoke bombs need to be released to divert the attention of the police.
And then cover up some key clues, because as long as these key clues no longer exist, the police will not be able to confirm whether what these people stated is true.
In essence, this is a means of destroying evidence, but every time Gu Chen's team investigates key clues, they are forced to stop suddenly.
Gu Chen has reason to believe that what he is facing now will be unprecedented difficulties.
And behind the seemingly innocent appearance of these people, there seems to be some ulterior secrets hidden.
With a sigh, Gu Chen tried to calm down his mood, and then solemnly communicated with Officer Xiaoxuan on the phone:
"Officer Xiaoxuan, I hope you, the Haidong City Police, can find a way to find the traces of the dealer Hu Peng at all costs."
"Whether this case can be solved, maybe only Hu Peng can."
"I understand." Officer Xiaoxuan on the other end of the phone seemed to have heard Gu Chen's concerns from the phone, and he also knew that he had a heavy responsibility.
Therefore, after a few seconds of silence, Officer Xiaoxuan said again:
"Gu Chen, please rest assured. No matter what the cost, our Haidong City Police will definitely find a way to help you find Hu Peng."
"Okay, if you find Hu Peng, please contact me as soon as possible. I am here to thank you first on behalf of our Jiangnan City Police."
Gu Chen also said it politely over and over again, because now he has requests from the Haidong City Police, especially Officer Xiaoxuan.
I went to the Haidong City Police Force to communicate before, and sorted out some cross-city criminal cases with Haidong City, and found that everything went so smoothly.
But now, Gu Chen feels that he has encountered a big trouble, and this gang may have established a mysterious network between Haidong City and Jiangnan City.
If Zhou Xiaotong hadn't disappeared mysteriously this time, Gu Chen might not have met such a powerful opponent.
It can be seen that the other party can predict his own predictions, and can use teamwork to create various coincidences with all clues that are beneficial to the police investigation.
After Gu Chen hung up the call from Officer Xiaoxuan, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Da's workplace.
It feels like we have encountered a tough situation this time.
Gu Chen sighed quietly and said helplessly: "If we follow the cautious attitude of these people, I estimate that Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe, when they take the boss of the spicy strip factory to the factory to check the bill and quantity, there shouldn't be too much trouble.
Gain more.”
"Because if this group of people had played a clue game with our police from the beginning, we would not have had the slightest advantage."
"Because what you see is what they want you to see. Everything we are doing now may be a trap carefully laid by them, just waiting for us to get into it."
"If this is the case, then they will not leave any loopholes, and Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe should not gain anything."
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Wu Xiaofeng called.
Gu Chen had no choice but to pick up the phone again and open the answer button.
"Senior Brother Gu, we have already conducted an investigation at the Spicy Tiao Factory and found that there are no problems with the bills and quantities here."
"I know, if there are no other clues, you can withdraw first." After Gu Chen got the result that he had already guessed, he also asked Wu Xiaofeng and Ji Zhe to come back immediately.
Wu Xiaofeng immediately asked: "What about the owner of the spicy strip factory?"
"Let him go." Gu Chen said.
"Understood, then we will come back immediately."
After the words fell, Wu Xiaofeng hung up the phone.
Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang on the side looked at each other, and then looked at Gu Chen at the same time.
Lu Weiwei also stepped forward and asked: "So, there is no problem at the spicy strip factory?"
"Well, now we still need to investigate the dealers where the boss of the spicy strip factory delivered the second shipment to see if the situation is true. After the address is confirmed, we will immediately contact Senior Brother He and Xiao Yuan and ask them to focus on tracking."
"In addition, arrange for police officers to investigate and verify the two dealers in our Jiangnan City area."
"As for the dealer in another brother city, Senior Brother Wang should contact his colleagues there and ask them to send someone over immediately to verify."
"Leave this to me." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Wang immediately took out his mobile phone and began to contact acquaintances in the police force in the sister city based on the secondary delivery targets given by the boss of the spicy strip factory.
Lu Weiwei also took out her mobile phone and started to keep in touch with He Junchao and Yuan Shasha in the office, asking them to dispatch manpower to the other two distribution points in Jiangnan City for verification.
It seems that everything has become complicated and requires the cooperation of multiple parties to complete the task.
And here, the third-level police superintendent, who had been searching with a police dog for a long time, came to Gu Chen with his comrade-in-arms police dog and called back: "Gu Bureau."
"How is it?" Gu Chen turned to ask him.
"I've checked it carefully twice and there's nothing wrong with it," the third-level superintendent said helplessly.
"Okay then." Gu Chen also knew that this would be the result, so he patted the third-level superintendent on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Thank you for your hard work. Why didn't your senior brother Mu Liang see it?"
"Oh, Senior Brother Mu Liang took Pippi, the husky that once demolished your criminal investigation team's office, to other brother cities for exchanges," the third-level superintendent said.
Hearing what the third-level superintendent said, Lu Weiwei's eyes suddenly lit up: "Take Pippi to the sister city for exchanges?"
"Yes." The third-level superintendent nodded sharply.
"But why did he bring Pippi there?" Lu Weiwei also couldn't understand. After all, communication and stable performance were the most important.
Although the husky police dog Pippi is powerful, it sometimes suffers from convulsions and there are too many unstable factors. However, Mu Liang took Pippi away, which surprised Lu Weiwei.
But Officer Wang on the side smiled and reminded: "Lu Weiwei, you still can't understand this?"
"Yes, I don't understand." Lu Weiwei said frankly.
Officer Wang shook his head and explained: "You don't know something about this. Police dogs in brother cities communicate with each other. It is difficult to tell the difference between our police dogs when the situations are not much different."
"But if Mu Liang brings a husky police dog to communicate, he will definitely be the most beautiful dog in the room."
After a pause, Officer Wang continued: "Think about it, a husky can be trained into a police dog. With just this one, Mu Liang can beat his peers by a few blocks. Is this true?"
"Yes." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, the third-level superintendent also echoed:
"That's what Senior Brother Mu Liang means. I feel that if we want to bring glory to our police dog training center in Jiangnan City, we must choose a police dog with unique characteristics."
"Although Pippi is a husky, he is very smart, especially under the guidance of senior brother Mu Liang. Now they cooperate with each other very well."
"Senior Brother Mu Liang, I just want to create a contrast and a surprise. It is said to be an exchange, but in fact, it is also a show off."
When he said the last word "show off", the corners of the third-level superintendent's mouth slightly raised, and he also looked proud.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help but smile and said: "I really can't tell that Mu Liang has learned a lot now, but Mu Liang really has this ability."
"In addition, Pippi relied on his own ability to become a well-organized dog and even demolished the police station office."
"This glorious record alone is enough for Mu Liang to use as a talking point and to brag with his colleagues in brother cities."
Several people also chatted and laughed for a while, and the tense atmosphere just now suddenly became much more relaxed.
But after all, they brought police dogs to search, but found nothing. The third-level superintendent also shrugged and said helplessly:
"Coming here can't help. If nothing happens, I will go back with my police dog first. If the Bureau needs it, just call me directly. I don't think Senior Brother Mu Liang will come back in the next few days."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay." Gu Chen shook hands with the third-level superintendent to thank him, also said some polite words, and watched the third-level superintendent drive away from the scene with the police dog.
.
At this moment, other police officers also came to Gu Chen's side one after another.
Everyone looked at each other and cast their disappointed eyes on Gu Chen.
"Gu Bureau, what should we do next?" one of the second-level superintendents asked.
"Get down, come with me into the mountains, and search for Zhou Xiaotong's whereabouts." Of course Gu Chen called everyone over, and it wasn't just as simple as checking these trucks.
More importantly, use more police force and go to the dense forest behind again during the day when the visibility is good.
After all, an empty mineral water bottle with Zhou Xiaotong's fingerprints was found in the dense forest last time. Gu Chen hoped to find Zhou Xiaotong himself this time.
So under Gu Chen's arrangement, all the police officers began to leave the freight station one after another, followed Gu Chen's car, and drove all the way to the vicinity of Xinxin Hotel.
After parking the car, Gu Chen took everyone into the forest together.
…
…
The search work was still continuing. This time, Gu Chen asked Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang to lead the team from the front, while he walked in the middle, always observing the surrounding situation.
And in a location with signal, communicate with Yuan Shasha by phone.
"Senior Brother Gu, I have already arranged the personnel. The people sent out have already investigated two distribution points in Jiangnan City."
"What's the result?" Gu Chen slowed down and walked among the team.
"The result is that the dealers responded that they had indeed received the batch of spicy strips returned from Haidong City, and the quantity was consistent," Yuan Shasha said on the phone.
Gu Chen sighed softly. This was what he expected. Gu Chen also asked Yuan Shasha: "Then what did the two dealers say?"
"What else can I say?" Yuan Shasha on the phone sighed softly and said helplessly:
"They originally wanted some spicy strips from the owner of the spicy strip factory, but just in time, Haidong City had the goods to return, and the owner of the spicy strip factory also explained the situation to the two dealers."
"The two food dealers in Jiangnan City are also happy to accept this batch of goods."
"So in the past few days, all the goods returned from Haidong City have been taken away by them."
"Oh, of course, there is also a dealer in the brother city. Basically, the returned goods are divided equally among the three of them."
"Did the people who were sent out notice that these dealers spoke strangely? That kind of answer, as if they were reciting a text?" Gu Chen said.
Yuan Shasha understood what Gu Chen meant and added: "Senior Brother Gu means, are the two local dealers in Jiangnan City suspected of colluding with each other, right?"
"Don't worry, Brother Gu. The people sent to investigate are all old colleagues. According to their introduction, there doesn't seem to be any trace of deliberateness in the dealers' answers."
"Okay, I understand." After receiving Yuan Shasha's affirmative reply, Gu Chen sighed softly, and then said:
"Xiao Yuan, please stay in the office, assist Senior Brother He, and wait for our next instructions."
"Understood." After receiving Gu Chen's instructions, Yuan Shasha also said with concern:
"Senior Brother Gu, you should be more careful when you are out on the field."
"Will do."
The two expressed concern for each other and hung up the phone.
At this moment, Gu Chen looked up and discovered that the searching team ahead was already taking a short rest in an open space.
Lu Weiwei was also holding a police kettle and drinking hot water. Seeing Gu Chen looking at her, she handed her police kettle to Gu Chen:
"Junior Brother Gu, would you like to drink some water too?"
"Thank you." Gu Chen took the kettle, took a few sips, handed the kettle back to Lu Weiwei's hand, and then said:
"We have walked this road before."
"Of course, there are also marks we have made on the road." Lu Weiwei stepped aside and pointed to the marks made with a police dagger on a large branch.
Gu Chen looked around, then at the time, and then warned: "Going further in, the cell phone signal may not be stable. Remember to divide into groups."
"The group must maintain a reasonable distance, must be able to see each other, and must not fall behind in the dense forest."
"clear!"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, everyone responded in unison.
Afterwards, Gu Chen walked through the resting crowd and took the lead in the front row.
When the other resting police officers saw this, they immediately stood up and continued to follow Gu Chen.
Due to his previous experience of going into the mountains for the first time, Gu Chen already knew the road ahead this time.
In addition, there are fixed markers along the way that I have made before, so it is impossible to get lost.
After a quick search, everyone arrived at the valley where Gu Chen had stayed before, where Gu Chen found the empty mineral water bottle.
At this moment, the surrounding trees still block the light.
Moreover, it is located in a valley, so the light is very poor, and it looks a bit eerie even in the daytime.
Some police officers even took out police flashlights for lighting.
"This is where you found the mineral water bottle last time." Officer Wang walked to Gu Chen and pointed to an area in front of him.
Gu Chen nodded silently and did not respond. Instead, he asked everyone to follow him while he returned to the area where he last appeared.
Gu Chen's eyes were bright and he began to look around at the situation.
Since the last search was at night, the visibility was not good, but this time with daylight, Gu Chen could still observe the surrounding situation very well.
Under a big tree where he last saw a mineral water bottle, Gu Chen walked around several of the big trees and observed carefully, and found that the branches of one of the big trees had obvious signs of being broken artificially.
Seeing this, Gu Chen felt a trance in his mind, as if that dark night scene had appeared in his sight again.
When I was in this area and preparing to leave, I felt that there was a figure nearby.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, due to the heavy fog at the time, the line of sight was blocked, and Gu Chen was not sure whether what he saw was an illusion caused by the wind blowing on the treetops? Or was it a giant giant wave?
Fear caused by the fog?
And... is it the message left by the mysterious man who is following everyone?
Because the incident occurred suddenly and the environment at the scene was extremely complicated, Gu Chen was unable to judge for a moment, so he hurriedly followed everyone back.
But now, Gu Chen came to that area again and discovered that there was a big tree not far away, and the top of the tree had obvious signs of being broken.
Seeing that Gu Chen had been staring at a certain location, he checked it carefully.
Lu Weiwei also came to the position next to Gu Chen, followed Gu Chen with her eyes, and saw the broken mark, and her heart couldn't help but thump:
"The branches here have been broken by people, and although they are broken, they are not completely broken, and they are still connected."
"It looks like..." Halfway through her words, Lu Weiwei subconsciously glanced in Gu Chen's direction.
"Senior Sister Lu, just say what you want." Gu Chen knew that Lu Weiwei wanted to express her own opinion.
So Lu Weiwei nodded silently and expressed her own opinion:
"I feel that this broken branch is more like someone encountering something, holding it as the last straw, and then accidentally breaking it under the influence of force."
"Hmm." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang walked over from behind the two of them, circled half a circle around the broken mark, then looked at the nearby vegetation marks, and then said slowly:
"Yes, this disconnected branch looks like it was caused by unintentional grabbing."
"In my opinion, there may have been a fierce dispute here before, someone was dragged away, and at the last moment, the person grabbed the branch hard."
After the words fell, Officer Wang pointed to the other end of the branch and then said:
"Look, the leaves on the broken branch were also stripped off, which shows that the person wanted to grab this last straw."
"But due to other dragging factors, the man's body continued to move backwards."
"So, the branch that was grabbed was dragged mercilessly, and eventually all the leaves on the branch were knocked off by the man's hands."
"The branches also broke at the last moment."
After the words fell, Officer Wang subconsciously glanced at his feet, then squatted down and began to move away the weeds and search.
After a while, Officer Wang picked up a few dead leaves on the ground, showed them in front of everyone and said:
"Did you see it? These are leaves pulled from the branches. My analysis is absolutely correct."
"I didn't say what you said was incorrect? That's what I meant too." Lu Weiwei agreed with Officer Wang's opinion, turned to look at Gu Chen, and asked:
"Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?"
"Yes, it is indeed what Senior Brother Wang said." Gu Chen also nodded in agreement, and then said:
"It is conceivable that there seemed to be a fight here at that time, and I also picked up a mineral water bottle with Zhou Xiaotong's fingerprints in this area."
"This shows that Zhou Xiaotong had been here before, but she might have had a fight or dispute with someone while she was here."
