The owner of the breakfast shop was also a cheerful person. He knew that Gu Chen's visit this time might be related to Hu Peng's business next door.
But now, he can't provide much support. He can only shake his head and sigh: "Officer Gu, that's all we can help you."
"I can't contact Hu Peng anymore. It seems something happened to him, or in other words, he went out to hide from debts."
"But no matter what the situation is, I hope he is well. As for you want to know where he is? I really can't do anything about this."
"That's good, thank you." Gu Chen didn't seem to embarrass the breakfast shop owner, so he wrote his mobile phone number on a piece of paper, handed it to the middle-aged man and said:
"If you find any trace of Hu Peng, remember to notify me as soon as possible."
"Okay." Knowing that Gu Chen wanted something from him, the middle-aged man readily agreed.
Officer Wang immediately added: "You are not allowed to mention anything about us to Hu Peng. As soon as he appears, you will notify us immediately."
"I understand that you are handling a case. I am aware of this. Although I don't know what is going on with Hu Peng? But please rest assured, just leave this to me. It will be no problem."
"Okay, thank you then." Gu Chen and others stood up, shook hands with the middle-aged couple and said goodbye.
On the other side, Officer Xiaoxuan had already scanned the QR code to pay and followed Gu Chen and others out of the restaurant.
After getting in the car, Officer Xiaoxuan asked Gu Chen: "Gu Bureau, where are we going now?"
"Go to your police station. I want to know what stage your technical investigation has reached?" Gu Chen said.
"Okay." I understand Gu Chen's urgency now, otherwise Gu Chen would not bring his team to Haidong City again.
Officer Xiaoxuan did not hesitate, drove directly and took everyone to the dispatch room of Haidong Public Security Bureau.
Pushing open the door of the dispatch room, several police officers were playing and playing together, and seemed very comfortable at work.
This is just as Gu Chen imagined before. The police investigation here is indeed not as urgent as his own.
When Officer Xiaoxuan saw this, he also reminded one of the trainee police officers who was making a fuss: "Xiao Gong, what are you doing? You are making trouble during work hours."
"Senior sister, this guy is hurting me." said the trainee policeman named Xiao Gong.
"Don't tell me this." Officer Xiaoxuan's face darkened, and she quickly asked: "By the way, how did you go about the things you were asked to do?"
"Oh, we're still following up." Another trainee police officer said.
"Still following up? Does that mean there are no results?" Officer Xiaoxuan frowned slightly and continued to ask.
The trainee police officer nodded silently: "Yes, we are working hard to investigate."
"Have you found out the latest progress of Hu Peng's disappearance?" Gu Chen walked directly between the two trainee police officers and asked casually.
The two of them were startled, and both looked at Gu Chen, and quickly recognized Gu Chen.
Gu Chen had been to Haidong City not long ago. At that time, he was personally accompanied by Director Li, and many policewomen posted on WeChat Moments.
Therefore, Gu Chen is considered a celebrity in the Haidong City Public Security Bureau.
But how long had it been? Gu Chen appeared in Haidong City again and personally intervened in the matter.
The two trainee police officers suddenly felt that time was running out.
The trainee police officer named Xiao Gong also grinned and quickly explained: "Gu Bureau, it turns out to be you? We are still following up on this investigation."
"Currently, the clues we have are very limited."
"Where did Hu Peng disappear?" Lu Weiwei took a step forward and asked directly.
Xiao Gong glanced at the computer, then recalled it for a few seconds, and said quickly: "Well, it was near a forest on the outskirts of the city."
"The forest near the outskirts of the city? Which place?" Since Officer Xiaoxuan has not asked about the recent progress of the investigation, he is not sure.
Another trainee police officer replied directly: "It's the forest over there in Hushan Town. This Hu Peng drove alone to the forest farm, and then we found no trace of Hu Peng again."
"Other than that, he never came out again, right?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Officer Xiao Gong nodded silently: "That's right, after entering the forest, it never appeared again. At least until now, we haven't found that car coming out again."
As soon as Officer Gong finished speaking, Gu Chen and others looked at each other in shock.
It seems that this is exactly the same situation as when Zhou Xiaotong disappeared. He also went to the hinterland of the forest and then disappeared.
Since Hu Peng is now the key figure in the entire case, Gu Chen needs to treat it with caution.
Considering that Zhou Xiaotong was instigated by others, he went to the forest behind Xinxin Hotel late at night.
As for Hu Peng's sudden disappearance, Gu Chen felt that if he was related to these criminal gangs, then Hu Peng would most likely have received an invitation from someone and then hurriedly went to the appointment.
I don’t know what happened in the end. He was handed over to the hinterland of the forest. This situation is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly asked: "What time? When will Hu Peng go to the hinterland of the forest in Hushan Town?"
"Uh...wait a minute." As if he didn't remember it carefully, Officer Xiao Gong quickly opened his paper notebook and began to search for his own investigation records.
After a moment, Officer Xiao Gong immediately replied: "Found it. According to our technical investigation, this Hu Peng entered Hushan Town at about 2 o'clock in the morning."
"Then he stopped briefly at the entrance to the hinterland of the forest and then drove the vehicle into the forest."
"Senior Brother Gu, it's late at night." Yuan Shasha on the side heard the explanation and quickly reminded Gu Chen in his ear.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and couldn't help but said: "It seems that the disappearance of Hu Peng is almost the same as the disappearance of Zhou Xiaotong in Jiangnan City."
"Could it be..." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Xiaoxuan on the side also widened his eyes and asked.
Gu Chen nodded silently and said truthfully: "The time when Zhou Xiaotong disappeared, or in other words, the time when she entered the hinterland of the forest, was also in the middle of the night."
"Since then, there has been no trace of Zhou Xiaotong, but now, Hu Peng, the dealer in Haidong City, has disappeared late at night in the hinterland of the forest."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Walking back and forth in front of everyone, Gu Chen turned around and said: "Imagine, it is very possible that they both received invitations from the same group of people.
."
"Zhou Xiaotong may have a large amount of criminal evidence between these gangs, so they must try their best to get rid of Zhou Xiaotong to avoid future troubles."
"The same is true for Hu Peng, because he is a key figure in the entire chain of clues."
"It can be said that Hu Peng is the biggest threat to these people when he is alive. Therefore, Hu Peng is likely to be invited and then enter Hushan Town, the hinterland of the forest."
"And now, it is very likely that he has also fallen into the trap of this group of people."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried to calm down and then said: "Now, I can boldly assume that Hu Peng is probably still in the dense forest, and he may have had a fight with someone in the dense forest.
"
"Then, maybe he was imprisoned, or maybe, he is no longer alive now."
"It won't be so scary, right?" Officer Gong couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart as he listened to Gu Chen's various explanations.
It feels like these people are really willing to do anything in order to achieve their goals.
Officer Xiaoxuan frowned and took a step forward to stand in front of Gu Chen:
"Gu Bureau, what should we do next? Give us an idea."
"Go to Hushan Town, go to the hinterland of the forest, and look for traces of Hu Peng." Gu Chen gave a very straightforward idea.
Officer Xiaoxuan raised his eyebrows, sighed heavily, and then said, "Okay, I'll go out with you again."
It feels like it’s only early in the morning, and Gu Chen’s team, especially Gu Chen, has already put themselves through enough trouble.
Due to the habit of fishing in the Haidong City Police Station for a long time, Officer Xiaoxuan was suddenly overwhelmed by the efficient work brought by Gu Chen.
Obviously last night, everyone was talking on the phone in two different cities.
But in one night, Gu Chen had already brought his team members from Jiangnan City to Haidong City.
Moreover, important information had been obtained as soon as they arrived, and now, they had to go non-stop to the Hushan Town where Hu Peng disappeared.
Officer Xiaoxuan yawned, feeling that it was not an easy task to cooperate with Gu Chen in handling the case.
With her goal in mind, Xiaoxuan simply drove off two cars this time, her own car with Gu Chen and others, while the other police car was driven by some auxiliary police officers.
The main purpose is to take advantage of the strength of a large number of people, hoping that these people may still come in handy when the search work is carried out.
After 40 minutes of driving, the vehicle finally stopped at the forest fork that Xiao Gong mentioned before.
Officer Xiaoxuan lowered the window and said to the fork in the road: "Did you see it? It's right here. If you go in from here, you will reach the hinterland of the forest."
"Hu Peng disappeared here before, and even his car disappeared with him. This is very strange."
Listening to Officer Xiaoxuan's various explanations, Gu Chen also began to take stock of the unfamiliar environment in front of him.
If Zhou Xiaotong disappeared near a hotel in the suburbs, then compared to the location where Zhou Xiaotong disappeared, Hu Peng's disappearance seemed a bit strange.
After all, it is surrounded by wilderness, and there is only a one-lane wide cement road leading to the hinterland of the forest.
Thinking of a road, there are advantages to being narrow. At least you can look for the car along the road.
"Are you sure?" Officer Xiaoxuan stared blankly and reminded:
"Gu Chen, I need to remind you that the road here is not easy to walk. There is only one section of the cement road, and the rest are natural dirt roads."
"It doesn't matter." Gu Chen didn't care about this and continued to explain:
"Although we can't find Hu Peng now, we can look for his car."
"Even if Hu Peng disappears, not all roads in the forest can allow vehicles to drive at will."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen added: "So I think Hu Peng probably parked his vehicle in an open space somewhere and then walked into the hinterland of the forest on his own."
"It's...it's not impossible." Seeing that Gu Chen had said this, what else could Officer Xiaoxuan say? He could only obey and do as he was told.
So after Officer Xiaoxuan communicated with the car behind him, he drove the police car and started driving towards the hinterland of the forest in Hushan Town.
Gu Chen was not very familiar with this area, so he asked Officer Xiaoxuan for advice:
"Officer Xiaoxuan, where is the specific location of Hushan Town?"
"It's just in the woods." Officer Xiaoxuan, who was driving, said.
"In the forest?" Lu Weiwei was quite curious when she heard this: "The forest is full of trees, how can there be a small town in it?"
"Hai, this Hushan Town is not very big, but it is built on an open space in the forest."
"Anyway, there are many villages around, but the further you go, the deeper into the mountains, the sparsely populated."
"Recently, we in Haidong City have plans to develop Hushan Town into a tourist resort."
"Then, in order to protect the nearby ecological environment, we plan to move some villages living in deep mountains and old forests."
After a pause, Officer Xiaoxuan continued to explain: "In addition, there is a small temple over there, which is like incense, but I heard that asking for a fortune is very effective, but I don't know if it is true?"
"Many wealthy people like to use their weekends to go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, so there will be more tourists in Hushan Town on weekends."
"I estimate that Hu Peng, with a high probability, should have parked his vehicle somewhere in Hushan Town."
"Have we not contacted each other over at Hushan Town?" Yuan Shasha was also quite curious and couldn't help but ask more.
Officer Xiaoxuan shook his head: "Didn't this just come out from the investigation? I don't know the specific situation over there."
"But there is a police station over there. It's quite small. If we go there and ask, we should be able to find out something."
While they were talking, several people's vehicles had already arrived at the eighteenth bend of the mountain road.
To get to Hushan Town, you need to drive through the forest and make various detours.
The bamboo forest in the mountains has not been managed for a long time, and many bamboo leaves even extend to the roadside.
Officer Xiaoxuan needs to constantly adjust his driving rhythm to avoid these natural obstacles.
The scenery in the forest is so beautiful that Lu Weiwei, who was lying by the window, could not help but say jokingly:
"Not to mention, with such a large area of natural beauty, if it is not turned into a tourist resort, it will really be a waste of nature's beauty."
"It's troublesome to turn it into a tourist attraction. If there are too many tourists, the ecology will be destroyed." Officer Wang couldn't help but interjected.
Yuan Shasha quickly added: "There are advantages and disadvantages. It would be a pity to not let more people know about such beautiful scenery."
"There is nothing wrong with developing it into a tourist attraction. It can revitalize the tourism economy in Hushan Town."
"Secondly, it can also increase local popularity and create a well-known name."
"In this way, it will be of great help to the investment and development here."
After a pause, Yuan Shasha continued to add: "The Yuan Group in Jiangnan City is particularly experienced in developing cultural tourism projects."
"And I heard from a relative of mine who works in the Yuan Group that the cultural tourism company of the Yuan Group seems to have a development project here, and has even set up a project headquarters."
