Due to the special situation, Gu Chen couldn't care too much and could only ask Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha to take Hu Wenqiang to get the tools.
Not long after Hu Wenqiang left with Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen began to carefully observe the old wooden house.
Lu Weiwei took a strong flashlight and shined it twice on the structure of the house before saying:
"Speaking of living here, how many decades can Huang Zhigang live here? Isn't this too persevering?"
Seeing that Gu Chen beside her didn't respond, Lu Weiwei said again: "Junior brother Gu, tell me, this Huang Zhigang, why does he want to live here?"
"Maybe there is his secret here." Gu Chen crossed his arms and said casually.
Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned, and she said thoughtfully: "You mean, the reason why Huang Zhigang wants to live here is actually for another purpose?"
"Isn't it because you want to avoid being tracked by the police, and then you are here under the guise of taking care of the lonely elderly people, so that you can hide in this mountain den?"
"I don't think it's that simple." Seeing that Lu Weiwei's thinking was too simplistic, Gu Chen expressed his opinion: "In my opinion, this Huang Zhigang may have been making plans for so many years."
"From the fact that our police have dealt with him for so many years, it is not difficult to see that Huang Zhigang actually has his own set of things."
"The reason why he can repeatedly escape the police's pursuit and has not been discovered for decades shows that he is extraordinary and beyond the reach of ordinary people."
"For example, the counter-reconnaissance against us at the high-speed rail station this time shows how cunning this guy is. What I am most worried about now is not whether he will come back."
"But, how many secrets are hidden inside his house and that wooden box."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "Logically speaking, the location where these ill-gotten gains are buried should be carved with special symbols on the wooden box. He could have used his mobile phone to take pictures of these special symbols as stubs, but he didn't.
Didn’t do that.”
"Instead, he used Hu Wenqiang to do things for him and went to Jiangnan City to find Xu Peiwen. This has always puzzled me."
"That's it?" After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei thought for a moment and felt that this seemed too mysterious.
So Lu Weiwei said again: "Junior Brother Gu, could this be the case? It was because Xu Peiwen was too high-profile, which led to his being exposed as a target."
"Xu Peiwen does not have Huang Zhigang's super anti-reconnaissance awareness, and he can contact Huang Zhigang, which makes Huang Zhigang feel uneasy."
"So, he thought that his box might not be safe if it was placed at Xu Peiwen's place, so he asked Hu Wenqiang to help retrieve the box."
"The main reason is that if Xu Peiwen is caught, he will reveal many of his secrets to our police. After all, Xu Peiwen is the person who knows the secret of the special symbols on the box. How could Huang Zhigang let him be easily captured by our police?"
"In other words, even if Xu Peiwen is captured by our police, he must let the box return to him."
"But why doesn't Huang Zhigang take the box with him? Have you ever thought about this question?" As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen raised a new question.
Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned, and she scratched her cheek and asked in confusion: "Could it be that Huang Zhigang deliberately handed the box to Xu Peiwen? But what is the purpose of doing this?"
"It's hard to say now." Gu Chen shook his head and said thoughtfully:
"But one thing is certain. All of this seems to be Huang Zhigang's fault. He seems to have realized very early that Hu Wenqiang's trip to Jiangnan City will definitely be unexpected."
"And he also stopped at the Qiancheng High-speed Railway Station early, just waiting to confirm his thoughts."
"It can be seen that Huang Zhigang's thinking is still extremely advanced. He seems to have anticipated everything that will happen next."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen also said thoughtfully: "So this Huang Zhigang is scary in this place. We have no idea what his purpose is?"
"Moreover, in such a passive state throughout the whole process, I even suspect that he can guess now that we have arrived at his home and are preparing to search his home."
"But if that's the case, then judging from his behavior tonight, he will definitely take a lot of necessary luggage and even store enough food and water."
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also frowned and continued:
"If that's the case, then he must have thought of many escape routes for himself."
"There will even be arrangements to store some food and water along many of the escape routes."
"Gu... Junior Brother Gu, this Huang Zhigang is a bad old man now. Is he as scary as you said? Can he be so cautious?"
Lu Weiwei was also made a little nervous by Gu Chen's analysis.
You know, when handling cases, I encounter many difficult opponents, but with Gu Chen, they seem to be able to solve them well.
But this time, Lu Weiwei's eyes seemed to be full of confusion when she looked at Gu Chen.
This seemed to be something rarely seen during the time Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen worked together.
Gu Chen sighed softly and said calmly: "I can't confirm my judgment yet. I just made a blind guess. However, I have an ominous premonition."
"What's this premonition?" After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Weiwei quickly asked.
"I have a hunch that we won't be able to deal with this Huang Zhigang so easily. We were too hasty before. I even feel that Huang Zhigang's plan was involved when we came from Jiangnan City to Qiancheng."
"No...no." Seeing that Gu Chen's worries were getting worse, Lu Weiwei quickly comforted her and said:
"Junior Brother Gu, I feel that you may be too tired. No matter how cunning Huang Zhigang is, there is no need for him to set up a trap for us, right?"
"Besides, now the police in Qiancheng have begun to take action to block him in Qiancheng. If we catch a turtle in a jar, the chance of winning is quite high."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I hope so." It was also after listening to Lu Weiwei's comfort that Gu Chen's restlessness eased a lot.
"Gu Chen, what are you talking about?" Officer Wang, who had come over with tools while listening to Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei discussing the problem, also asked casually.
"Nothing? We're just discussing how many secrets Huang Zhigang has." After her words fell, looking at the tools in Officer Wang's hand, Lu Weiwei quickly asked: "Is this okay?"
"Okay, it's just a small broken lock, this is fine." Officer Wang didn't care too much and started to use pliers to cut the door lock of Huang Zhigang's house.
Then, everyone rushed directly into Huang Zhigang's old wooden house with bright flashlights.
Since Hu Wenqiang has a good family background, he is also very familiar with the situation of Huang Zhigang's family.
So Hu Wenqiang quickly found the light switch.
The moment the lights were turned on, the whole room still seemed extremely dark.
"Why is it so dark here? Is the light too weak? It's not as strong as our bright flashlight." As Yuan Shasha spoke, she shined the flashlight light directly on the wall.
Hu Wenqiang also quickly explained: "Huang Zhigang, he lives a pretty simple life. This light bulb has actually been used for many years."
"Since the death of the lonely old man, many things in this house have basically not been changed."
"There was no one to take care of the lonely old man before. Anyway, the place he lived in was not as good as it is now. Many places were not cleaned."
"It's only after Huang Zhigang came that I helped him make the house clean. It's already pretty good."
"Stop talking nonsense, where is the bedroom?" Officer Wang didn't want to hear this either. He wanted to find evidence of Huang Zhigang's crime quickly.
Hu Wenqiang quickly took a flashlight, walked to the door of a wooden staircase, and said, "Come with me, Huang Zhigang usually lives on the second floor."
Everyone looked at each other, didn't care too much, and followed Hu Wenqiang directly to the second floor.
At a corner on the second floor is a two-story building with a cement structure, mainly next to a wooden building.
Since the entire building is made of wood, the cement wall structure on these two floors is particularly eye-catching.
"You don't need to look, this is the toilet. You usually take showers, wash clothes, etc., and you need to do it in the brick structure here."
"It's a wooden structure room for sleeping. Be careful. There is a step here. Slow down."
Under Hu Wenqiang's introduction, everyone walked around the outer corridor of the wooden building and then walked to a living room on the second floor.
Since the door was unlocked, Hu Wenqiang opened it with a push.
However, due to the dim light here and the "squeaking" sound produced by the push-pull lock of the wooden structure, everyone suddenly felt creepy.
Especially behind this wooden building is a mountain, so it gives people a strange feeling.
"This is the living room of Huang Zhigang's house. The surrounding rooms can all be occupied by people. This used to be the place where the lonely old man lived."
"However, since the lonely old man passed away, Huang Zhigang has not lived in this room, and this room has always been empty."
"Where is Huang Zhigang's bedroom?" Lu Weiwei couldn't wait.
"Here." Hu Wenqiang took two steps forward, pointed to one of the rooms and said:
"The room at the front entrance is Huang Zhigang's bedroom. I have been here several times, so I know it."
"The door is unlocked." After checking, Yuan Shasha directly pushed the door open and entered.
At this moment, the various furnishings in the room are also in order, which looks quite comfortable.
Especially suitable for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"This Huang Zhigang seems to be quite good at living." Lu Weiwei also joked a few words casually and walked directly to the closet.
Since she had listened to Gu Chen's analysis downstairs before, Lu Weiwei directly opened the closet and checked Huang Zhigang's belongings to see if there was any sign that they had been taken away.
But when the closet was opened, it was empty, with only a few winter coats hanging there.
"How could this happen?" Lu Weiwei's expression was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Upon seeing this, Officer Wang quickly walked to Lu Weiwei's side.
Lu Weiwei pointed to the closet and said: "This closet is empty. I feel that Huang Zhigang has been prepared for it. He should have wanted to run away for a long time."
"So, when he was watching us outside the high-speed rail station, he had already started to escape, so he even took away his clothes."
"That's right." Seeing this scene in the house, Gu Chen also nodded and said:
"This is exactly what I guessed before. This Huang Zhigang has actually been prepared for it. He knows that sending Hu Wenqiang to Jiangnan City to retrieve the box may expose himself."
"As a result, Huang Zhigang had already set foot near the high-speed rail station, and even arranged several escape routes for himself, and stored daily necessities, even food and water, on the escape routes."
"In this way, once he finds out that he is being watched by the police, he will immediately hide, and the supplies he prepared before will be of great use."
"Damn it." After hearing Gu Chen's explanation, Yuan Shasha said angrily:
"This Huang Zhigang seems to be a real veteran, and he plans everything."
"I have been plotting against the police for so many years, but now, when we are about to bring him to justice, he runs away again."
Thinking of this, Yuan Shasha also sighed and said: "Maybe we were too optimistic before. We feel that we will definitely catch him this time."
"Originally, I thought that he could be escorted back to Jiangnan City soon, but now, he is allowed to escape."
With a heavy sigh, Yuan Shasha said unwillingly: "But now, it is estimated that Huang Zhigang has gone into hiding, and he is still hiding as planned."
"I guess it will be difficult to catch him."
"Don't be discouraged, little Yuan." Seeing that Yuan Shasha was a little discouraged, Officer Wang quickly comforted her and said, "No matter how careful he is, there are always things he misses."
"We will search carefully to see if we can find some useful clues in his home."
"There's something going on here." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen on the side noticed something unusual.
When everyone saw this, they hurried to Gu Chen's side.
Gu Chen pointed to the headboard of the wooden bed and explained: "There are many new carvings here, which seem to be some special symbols."
"Isn't this the symbol on the wooden box?" Officer Wang said.
Lu Weiwei shook her head: "No, I have also seen the special symbols on the wooden boxes. They are somewhat similar, but they should not be those."
After the words fell, everyone looked at Hu Wenqiang again.
Hu Wenqiang's expression was stunned, and then he suddenly realized, and quickly explained to everyone: "By the way, Huang Zhigang is old, and sometimes his memory is not very good. He likes to jot down some special symbols to remind himself."
"Remember the special symbols? What do they mean? Why are they special symbols?" Officer Wang expressed confusion.
Hu Wenqiang said seriously: "Because Huang Zhigang is old, sometimes he will be careless."
"I remember one time, I passed by his house and saw him looking for something at the gate. I asked him what he was doing."
"He said that he was cleaning before, but all of a sudden, the broom disappeared, so he kept looking for the broom."
"When I heard this, I laughed so much that my stomach ached because the broom was always in his hand."
