The scene seemed to have become quiet. With the blessing of a master's level of observation, Gu Chen's mind was constantly churning with various information.
The dim passage ahead seemed to become extraordinarily bright.
However, when Gu Chen's mental simulation ended, he discovered that the road ahead seemed to still have the breath of the two of them left.
"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei walked up to Gu Chen and reminded her, "There seem to be some footprints on the ground."
"I saw it." Gu Chen nodded silently and quickly waved his hand, "Follow me."
"Dong dong dong dong!"
As the brigade personnel trotted past, various loud and crisp sounds echoed throughout the narrow passage.
When Gu Chen turned a corner, he discovered that a dazzling white light appeared in the passage ahead.
Lu Weiwei said excitedly: "There is also an exit here. It seems that the two guys should have escaped from here."
"Hurry up and chase." Hearing this, a plainclothes man ran over first.
When the plainclothes police officers came to the exit, they subconsciously covered their eyes with their hands.
The dim passage suddenly encountered white light, which instantly made many people unable to open their eyes.
But when Gu Chen arrived at the exit of the passage, he discovered that there was a desolate land ahead.
The ground was covered with all kinds of weeds, and the surrounding area was extremely empty, with all kinds of garbage piled up in mountains.
"Why is there such a place?" Lu Weiwei subconsciously covered her mouth and nose, and looked around and found that the garbage around her seemed to be piled up so blatantly.
A plainclothes police officer came over and said: "This should be a place where some small factories secretly steal each other's waste."
“Because there don’t seem to be many people living here and there is little development value, it has always been vacant land.”
"But it's far away from residential areas, and maybe local residents are not willing to open up wasteland and grow vegetables here."
"So, these small factories treat it as a dumping ground for waste materials."
"This is simply polluting the environment." Lu Weiwei was also upset when she heard this.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, took two steps forward and carefully observed the surroundings. He found that the garbage here was piled up irregularly. There were piles here and there, which made people feel numb just looking at them.
And these waste materials don't seem to have any recycling value, so that the old men and women who pick up rags have no interest in the waste materials here.
And such waste materials were all over the wasteland, turning it into a maze in an instant.
Gu Chen worked hard to find the commanding heights, and finally found the central area where the waste was piled, and there seemed to be an abandoned building.
Although it is only two stories high, it is already the only commanding height in this area. After all, it is built on a hill.
"Everyone follow me over there, pay attention to the surrounding situation." Gu Chen finished his words, as if leading everyone towards the commanding heights.
Since the roads here are relatively hard, and it has not rained in Jiangnan City these days, the footprints on the road are not obvious, or in other words, it is difficult to see the traces of the footprints at all.
But when Gu Chen came to the abandoned building, he was stopped by the disgusting smell here.
"Ouch!" Lu Weiwei covered her mouth and nose, feeling extremely disgusted: "What the hell is going on here? Do these people treat this place as a public toilet?"
"There is no toilet here. Are these people using this place as a toilet?" Another plainclothes policeman covered his mouth and nose and took two steps back involuntarily.
There was obviously a lot of feces at the door on the first floor, and there were also many flies around, which made people feel sick just looking at it.
But this is the only commanding height in this area, and Gu Chen still doesn't know where Lu Xiaofeng and Hu Fang went.
After thinking about it, Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, but still walked forward.
"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei called from behind.
Gu Chen stopped, turned around and said, "You just stay below, I'll go up and take a look."
"Then...then be careful and wear a mask." Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen nodded silently, took out the mask from his pocket and put it on, then walked inside again.
After passing through the feces at his feet, Gu Chen found the damaged stairs and climbed all the way to the second floor. He then followed the damaged stairs on the second floor and climbed directly to the platform on the top floor.
At this time, the rooftop platform was completely dilapidated.
In many flat roof locations, there are many large holes and exposed steel bars.
It seems that if you are not careful, it will leak from the top floor to the bottom.
Gu Chen stepped on it, and many cement stones were falling down.
Various small stones are scattered among the grass on the first floor.
When Lu Weiwei saw this, she quickly reminded her, "Junior Brother Gu, be careful."
Gu Chen did not respond, but continued to the center of the flat roof, then found an abandoned stone step and stood on it.
In this way, your perspective can be raised a lot.
Gu Chen looked around. Although there were still many blind spots, it was obvious that Gu Chen could still clearly see the general outline of the waste piles here.
"There are still many traces of vehicles here. They must have been left behind by the vehicles hauling scrap materials that drove here."
"And the waste piles here seem to be irregular, but in fact there are certain rules."
Gu Chen looked at one of the bottle areas and thought to himself: "This area has the most waste piled up. It should be close to the exit where the vehicle comes from."
"In another area, the piles of waste are relatively low. Obviously, this is a newly developed area where waste is piled."
"Because the exit location was already filled with scraps, everyone maintained a tacit understanding."
Thinking of this, Gu Chen based on his own judgment, quickly found the direction from which the vehicle came, which was an extension of the S-shaped road.
"That's right there. That's the area where vehicles come, and it should be the exit location."
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen secretly memorized the route of the entire waste storage area, and then came down from the roof to join everyone.
"How's it going?" Everyone gathered around.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "The exit is over there, let's go and take a look."
"OK."
No one could care too much. The most important thing now was to find Lu Xiaofeng and Hu Fang.
These two people obviously knew this area very well. After escaping from the passage, they quickly escaped through familiar roads.
Therefore, Gu Chen now needs to seize the time to determine the other party's escape route.
After a while of running quickly, everyone followed Gu Chen and soon found a relatively spacious area.
The tire marks on the ground also revealed that this was the road where vehicles were traveling.
When Gu Chen passed through various waste materials and came to a narrow road, at this moment, a small truck happened to be driving from the front carrying a large amount of bulk waste.
Because the entire car body is packed with too much, and the roads are dirt roads, there are also various scattered waste materials blocking the road.
Therefore, the vehicle always feels shaky when driving over, and the speed is also very slow.
From behind the dump truck of the rear vehicle, waste material falls from time to time.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly signaled the driver to stop.
The truck driver also saw a group of men and women standing on the side of the road. He was stunned for a moment. He stopped the vehicle without knowing why, lowered the window, stuck his head out and asked, "What's going on?"
"We are the police." Lu Weiwei first took out her police card, showed her identity, and then asked the driver:
"You came over there just now. Did you meet a man and a woman on the road? Are they running away from here quickly?"
"A man and a woman?" The driver was stunned. After thinking carefully for a few seconds, he shook his head and said in denial:
"Sorry, I didn't see it."
"Did you really not see it? Or did you pretend you didn't see it?" One of the plainclothes police officers didn't believe it and asked again.
The driver suddenly became anxious and quickly clarified: "Hey, comrade policeman, why did I lie to you? I'm just a salesman, and I didn't see anyone along the way."
"Besides, this is a wasteland. How can there be people in the wasteland?"
After thinking about it, the driver said again: "I just met you, why are you here?"
"What is this place?" Gu Chen didn't want to talk nonsense with the driver, so he asked.
The driver smiled and said: "Here? It's just a wasteland. No one cares about it. Generally, small factories nearby will pile some waste materials here."
"So, this is just an empty space where scraps are piled."
"You are not environmentally friendly, right? Who ordered you to pile waste here?" Lu Weiwei looked around and said with a look of disgust:
"Look, what are all the things piled up here? All kinds of weird waste materials."
"There are some things that cannot be degraded and the smell is very bad. Do you know that if you do this, you will pollute the water source and soil?"
"Haha, this is not my business, right?" It felt like Lu Weiwei had scolded the wrong person, and the driver looked indifferent and said slowly:
"You have to tell the factory bosses about this, and you have to report it to the environmental protection department. I am just helping people pull goods. Where do they say they should pile them? I will pile them there."
"I'm a part-time worker, so it's useless for you to be harsh to me. Isn't that the truth?"
"I……"
It felt like she had punched the cotton, and she couldn't use any strength at all. Lu Weiwei suddenly felt bad.
When Gu Chen saw this, he quickly comforted him and said, "Senior Sister Lu, don't be angry first. This is really not his business."
"After we return, we will respond to the environmental protection department and hope that the problem here can be solved well. The top priority now is to find those two guys."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei was holding back her anger since she couldn't catch Lu Xiaofeng and Hu Fang.
But the situation is urgent now, and Lu Weiwei doesn't care too much.
So everyone left two team members behind and continued to search the surrounding area. The others continued the pursuit towards the road the truck came from.
After running for who knows how long, everyone came to an open area.
At this moment, a concrete road also appeared in front of us.
Gu Chen and others walked out of a damaged wall.
It can be seen that this place was previously blocked by a wall, but later someone deliberately used a bulldozer to open a gap.
From then on, the small factories and workshops near here piled up their production waste in this area.
Gu Chen looked left and right. On both sides of the road, some small trucks and vans would pass by from time to time, but there was no trace of Lu Xiaofeng and Hu Fang.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and immediately checked the mobile map. After confirming the specific location, he dialed He Junchao's phone number:
"Senior Brother He, I have sent you our current location. Please help me check quickly. Are there any surveillance equipment nearby? Hu Fang and Lu Xiaofeng most likely escaped from here."
"Wait a moment." After receiving Gu Chen's reminder, He Juncheng in the office immediately started busy.
Also after a while of operations, He Junchao's reply came again from Gu Chen's mobile phone:
"Gu Chen, is this a surveillance blind spot? It's strange to say that although there are some surveillance coordinates displayed, the surveillance here seems to be in a damaged state."
"Also, there is no surveillance along the way, which is quite strange."
"It's not surprising." After hearing these words, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Surrounded by some small workshops and factories, these small workshops and factories secretly piled all their production waste in a nearby open space, causing serious pollution to the soil and water sources here."
"They will definitely not allow this area to be covered by surveillance, otherwise their behavior would have been exposed long ago."
"Then what should I do? I can only help you find a nearby surveillance camera, but the nearby surveillance camera is too far away from your coordinates, so I can only try my luck."
"If I discover the whereabouts of Lu Xiaofeng and Hu Fang, I will notify you immediately." He Junchao said.
"Okay, it's settled then." Gu Chen also sighed softly and hung up the phone.
Lu Weiwei stepped forward and said, "What do you mean? Is there no surveillance around?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and said helplessly: "This area itself is relatively desolate, and it is not a residential area for residents."
"So, the surrounding surveillance did not cover this area at all."
"Even if there are surveillance cameras at several intersections, they have been damaged, so it is now a surveillance blind spot."
"Damn it." After hearing this reply, Lu Weiwei put her head in her hands and said helplessly:
"It seems that Hu Fang is very familiar with this area, or knows it like the back of his hand."
"From the coffee shop where she opened, to the connecting underground passage, and then through the underground passage, it leads here like a maze."
"The most important thing is that this is still a blind spot for surveillance."
Lu Weiwei let out a long sigh of relief, leaned against a big tree, and shook her head helplessly:
"It seems that we have really underestimated Hu Fang. This woman is just a fox, very cunning."
"Not only did they deceive us, but they also took away all Lu Xiaofeng and the USB flash drive. Now, we can't even find him."
"We've all become headless chickens like this. We don't even know where the investigation is headed?"
"Senior Sister Lu, tell me, are these two people not far away at all?"
Just when Lu Weiwei was complaining, a plainclothes police officer next to her reminded her.
Lu Weiwei's eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "What do you mean..."
"I mean, could it be that the most dangerous place is the safest place?" the plainclothes police officer said.
