An hour later, the phone that Gu Chen had been waiting for rang again.
Gu Chen didn't say anything, and directly opened the answer button: "Wu Xiaofeng, how about it?"
"Senior Brother Gu, I have found the little boy. He is from a nearby village. According to the little boy's explanation, he was playing nearby last night, and then a tall and thin man came over and asked him to help buy something."
"Because he considered whether the little boy was willing or not, he gave the little boy some benefits, namely giving him two hundred yuan."
"He said that after buying all the items on the list, all the remaining money will be his."
After a pause, Wu Xiaofeng continued: "This little boy, when he heard that there was such a good thing, he was also very surprised. Why didn't he buy it himself?"
"Then what did this person tell him?" Gu Chen asked.
Wu Xiaofeng on the phone said: "The man told him not to worry about it. Anyway, he gave the little boy two hundred-yuan bills. Then, the little boy took the list he gave and went to the drugstore to buy relevant drugs."
"How did that suspect get there?" Gu Chen asked.
"I don't know." Wu Xiaofeng also sighed and said helplessly:
"I also asked the kid, but he didn't know anything. He only knew that he made some money and was very happy."
After thinking for a while, Wu Xiaofeng on the other end of the phone said again: "Oh, by the way, according to the little boy's description, he said he saw the person buying medicine, who seemed to be limping."
"He estimates that the medicine he bought is to treat his leg injury. This is exactly the same as Senior Brother Gu's previous guess. Senior Brother Gu, you are really amazing."
"Okay, I understand." After hearing Wu Xiaofeng's return, Gu Chen also sighed quietly.
On the one hand, the situation in which the suspect was stabbed by a nail was as expected.
But on the other hand, the suspect's specific whereabouts are still a mystery.
But fortunately, the suspect's approximate travel range has been determined.
The suspect abandoned the suspicious motorcycle in a deserted dead-end street near an abandoned factory.
Therefore, Gu Chen concluded that the man was probably planning to get rid of the motorcycle after committing the crime, but he was accidentally pierced by a nail on the sole of his foot.
Then he rode the motorcycle again, healed his foot injury, and then put the motorcycle back to its original position.
Of course, these are just Gu Chen's guesses.
But now that he knew the specific location, Gu Chen quickly urged He Junchao: "Brother He, last night, go to the direction of the auto parts city and find the suspect riding a motorcycle."
"Understood." He Junchao, knowing what Gu Chen meant, immediately started investigation mode.
A few minutes later, He Junchao found the suspect riding a motorcycle on the relevant route, so he quickly informed Gu Chen:
"Gu Chen, as you expected, that guy did walk this route."
"When will you come back?" Gu Chen asked.
"It was around 8:30 last night, but I didn't find any sign of him leaving at any intersection after that," He Junchao said.
"That means that this guy is still hiding in this area of the abandoned factory?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, seeming to feel that this guy's base is here.
Officer Wang also slapped the table and said angrily: "You can't tell, this guy is nearby, but if he didn't go back to the house he rented, where would he be hiding?"
Hearing what Officer Wang said, Yuan Shasha on the side quickly added:
"This area originally has a lot of abandoned buildings, and the location is not very good. Therefore, only a small amount of land with development value will be demolished."
"Most of the remaining places are like that abandoned factory, abandoned there."
"So, I think that if the suspect does not live in the room he rented, then he will definitely look for that kind of abandoned old house to live in."
"Because abandoned houses are generally unoccupied and relatively deserted..."
He was also listening to Yuan Shasha's eloquent analysis, but it was interrupted from time to time. Gu Chen reminded him: "Xiao Yuan, please continue."
"Yeah." Yuan Shasha nodded silently, and after thinking briefly for a few seconds, she said again:
"I think he must be living in such an abandoned house, and He Junlong must be with him too."
"If what we speculated before is true, then if this He Junlong is still valuable to the suspect, then he may let He Junlong live temporarily."
"If He Junlong has no value to him, but can only attract the focus of our police investigation for him, then he will definitely kill He Junlong and then choose to dispose of the body in a secret place so that our police cannot find it."
"But the only places that meet these conditions are abandoned houses."
"Well, what Xiao Yuan said makes sense." After listening to Yuan Shasha's analysis, Gu Chen nodded silently, then looked in the direction of He Junchao and said:
"Senior Brother He, please help me immediately investigate the abandoned houses around the abandoned factory. What are they?"
"After the investigation is clear, we will organize personnel to go over and investigate."
"What about the teams that go out to investigate those hospitals, clinics and pharmacies?" He Junchao asked.
"Let them stop the investigation. Our target has now been locked in a fixed area here. Let all field teams move closer to the area around the abandoned factory and wait for further instructions from us."
"Once the abandoned houses here are investigated, we will start investigating these abandoned houses and make sure to find this suspect." Gu Chen said.
"Understood." After hearing what Gu Chen said, He Junchao felt that this arrangement was feasible, so he quickly explained the situation in the group.
After that, He Junchao immediately devoted himself to the investigation of surrounding abandoned houses.
Ten minutes later, He Junchao lay on his seat, turned to look in the direction of Gu Chen, and said:
"Gu Chen, I have already checked out these abandoned building areas for you. They have been marked on satellite maps everywhere and have been printed out. Take a look at the color printing paper."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! While He Junchao was talking, the printer in the office began to make a beeping sound again.
It didn't take long before a piece of colored printing paper with detailed markings was completed.
Lu Weiwei walked to the printer, picked up the printing paper, looked at it twice, and then handed it to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen browsed it briefly before handing it over to Officer Wang and said to He Junchao:
"Are there any missed areas?"
"No more." He Junchao shook his head and said truthfully: "Based on your request, I focused on checking the surrounding areas of the abandoned factory."
"There are about four areas of abandoned houses within a few kilometers around here. These houses range from bungalows to old buildings with four or five floors."
"I have investigated relevant news materials about these places and found that except for a few buildings that are still inhabited by residents, they are already considered abandoned."
"If this suspect wants to hide, I estimate it will be in these four areas."
"We will investigate from these places, and there should be nothing wrong."
"That's good." After hearing He Junchao's detailed explanation, Gu Chen affirmed:
"Then let us know and let the field investigation team search these four areas respectively."
"Personnel arrangements should be based on the principle of proximity."
"Okay, I'll notify you right away." After receiving Gu Chen's order, He Junchao immediately started sending messages to the group, and attached some relevant pictures and information to facilitate the field staff to understand the relevant actions as soon as possible.
After the deployment is completed, each major field team also receives their respective investigation tasks in the work group.
At this moment, the sky began to gradually darken.
Gu Chen looked down at his watch, then looked up at the crowd and said, "There are still two hours until the sun sets."
"I hope our brothers in the field can seize this time window and find this suspect as soon as possible."
"I hope so." Lu Weiwei covered her face with her hands and prayed.
Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, on the other hand, remained calm.
Now this kind of dirty work is left to the field team. Everyone just needs to sit on the Diaoyutai and coordinate and direct in the office.
Help these field teams complete tasks accurately and efficiently.
As time passed by, Gu Chen couldn't help but feel anxious as he looked at the sunset outside the window, which was slowly being blocked by high-rise buildings.
6:20pm.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha have already brought the dinner ordered by everyone in the office.
Everyone quickly solved the dinner problem in the shortest possible time.
When the time came to 6:40 in the evening, the setting sun was gradually approaching the horizon, and the light in the sky gradually began to dim.
At this moment, Ding Liang suddenly called.
Without saying anything, Gu Chen directly opened the answer button and asked: "Ding Liang, how are you doing?"
"Gu Chen, we found the body of a man in search area No. 2. It was hidden in the basement of an abandoned building, packed in a sack, and covered with some fine sand."
"Buried in the sand?" Gu Chen said.
"Is that understandable? We also saw that there was a pile of sand in this place. It felt like it had been piled up recently, which was a bit suspicious, so we turned it over a few times."
"I didn't expect that there was a sack hidden in the sand pile in the basement, and inside the sack, there was actually the body of a man."
"Where's the cause of death?" After listening to Ding Liang's explanation, Gu Chen quickly asked.
"The cause of death was that he was stabbed in the neck with a sharp weapon. It looked like he was stabbed at close range. I have sent the photo of the deceased. Take a look. Is it that He Junlong?"
"Anyway, the appearance is somewhat similar to that of He Junlong before. If your previous guess is correct, then this body must be that of He Junlong."
Ding Liang here was still explaining in detail, and Gu Chen also started to click on the photos sent by Ding Liang.
Upon closer inspection, the appearance of the dead man was indeed very similar to the picture of her boyfriend provided by Zhao Feifei.
Gu Chen let out a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that we are still a step too late. This He Junlong has become a scapegoat. He must know many secrets about the suspect, so he was killed and silenced."
"What a pity." Lu Weiwei on the side also sighed after hearing what Gu Chen said:
"It seems that this murderer is really vicious. He ambushed Uncle Zhang before, and now he has made He Junlong the scapegoat."
"It seems that he is planning every step to guide wrong information to our police."
"This will make our police believe that the person who attacked Uncle Zhang is He Junlong, but He Junlong is also a victim."
"He may also be a participant." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang, who had his arms folded, quickly expressed his guess:
"This He Junlong may have had a deep connection with the suspect before."
"Later, due to some reasons, the murderer was tempted to kill. Therefore, the murderer wanted to divert his attention, so he operated on He Junlong."
"It's a pity that He Junlong was so stupid that he didn't know that he was about to face a disaster. He was killed by the murderer at such a close range and without any defense."
After a pause, Officer Wang said with emotion: "It seems that this guy is definitely still nearby. We must notify the field team and search carefully, and we must not miss every corner."
"Maybe that guy is hiding nearby, so be sure to be careful."
Hearing what Officer Wang said, Gu Chen immediately conveyed to Ding Liang on the phone: "Ding Liang, do you hear that? You must be careful and don't miss any detail."
"In addition, let everyone pay attention to safety. This murderer is extremely cunning. Although the sole of his foot is injured, it will be a little difficult to move at the moment, but he is cunning and may choose an extremely secret area to hide himself."
"If you are careless, you may pass by the murderer, do you understand?"
"Understood, I will ask everyone to get closer and then investigate carefully." He Junchao said on the phone.
Gu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Other personnel are still conducting searches in relevant areas, so I will come over to support you."
After a simple communication with Ding Liang, Gu Chen hung up the phone and notified forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng's team, asking Gao Chuanfeng's team to send personnel to transport the body for inspection.
After completing all the deployment work, Gu Chen took the individual police equipment from Lu Weiwei, and then took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha together to prepare to set off to the area where Ding Liang found the body.
7:45pm.
Gu Chen's vehicle parked steadily next to Ding Liang's police car.
Since there are only four people in the team of Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, plus the four people in Gu Chen's team, there are a total of eight police officers. It is still difficult to find the whereabouts of the murderer in this large area of abandoned houses.
At this moment, Officer Ding also drove from another direction with Ji Zhe and Wu Xiaofeng's team.
At one time, the number of people quickly increased to 15 people.
"Gu Chen, what do you need us to do?" Officer Ding asked.
Gu Chen looked around and made arrangements: "First block the main roads around me and don't let anyone come in and out at will. The rest of you, follow me in and find the murderer."
