Since the arrest and rescue mission fell into the hands of the Tai City SWAT team, Gu Chen became a bastard and could only wait for the outcome of the battle at the back of everyone.
However, as time passed by, Gu Chen discovered that there was no movement as there should have been.
For a moment, Gu Chen didn't know what was happening ahead. He just had a vague feeling that there seemed to be an ominous premonition.
Gu Chen frowned and couldn't help but said: "It is estimated that Captain Zhao and the others should be carrying out an arrest operation at this time, but why is there no movement?"
"Why don't we wait a little longer? Maybe the world is observing?" Officer Wang felt that this old Zhao seemed to be an experienced police officer.
At least they have considerable experience in dealing with this kind of problem.
Gu Chen couldn't care too much at the moment and could only remind him: "Let's also lean forward and take a look at the specific situation."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up." Lu Weiwei couldn't wait.
Every time we take action, Gu Chen leads everyone to the front.
But this time, the Thai city police sidelined themselves, which somewhat undermined morale.
But Gu Chen had already spoken, so Lu Weiwei didn't have too many worries.
So after a brief discussion, everyone quickly approached the target area ahead.
However, as the distance got closer and closer, what Gu Chen saw was that many police officers were sitting aside in frustration, as if they had suffered some kind of blow.
Seeing everyone in such a state, Gu Chen frowned and quickly found a young police officer and asked:
"What's wrong? What happened to the operation?"
"We hit each other's police bell and let the other party escape." The young police officer looked frustrated.
"What about Yuan Shasha and Yanzi? How are they two?" Gu Chen is not worried about the whereabouts of the murderer now, he is only worried about the safety of his colleagues.
"Oh, are you talking about the two hostages? The hostages are inside. Their current condition is a bit bad, but they are not dead yet."
Hearing what the young police officer said, Gu Chen's nervous emotions were instantly released. He breathed a heavy sigh of relief and slapped the young police officer twice on the shoulder.
"Thanks!"
After thanking him, Gu Chen quickly ran towards the target area.
Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei looked at each other and recovered from their confusion, so they quickly followed Gu Chen's footsteps.
The three of them bumped along in the grass and finally found the big pine tree.
Next to the big pine tree, there is an entrance to an ancient tomb that looks like it has been pried open. There are already police officers armed with weapons standing guard at the entrance.
Only then did Gu Chen discover that in a corner of the big pine tree, two women were wrapped in coats and looked a little tired.
"Xiao Yuan." Gu Chen called tentatively.
One of the women was also stunned after hearing Gu Chen's shout.
Then, he slowly turned his head and looked directly at Gu Chen: "Gu...Senior Brother Gu?"
"Xiao Yuan?" Seeing that the person who came was indeed Yuan Shasha, Gu Chen slowly took two steps forward. After a brief stalemate, Gu Chen quickly ran to Yuan Shasha:
"Xiao Yuan, is it really you?" Looking Yuan Shasha up and down, Gu Chen quickly asked with concern: "You...are you okay?"
"It's okay." Yuan Shasha sighed heavily and shook her head helplessly: "I was just accompanying my friend to Hemu Village, but I accidentally ran into a group of mysterious people, and then we were kidnapped."
Speaking of this, Yuan Shasha also looked helpless: "Originally, I could have dealt with these people, and even escaped unscathed."
Glancing at Yan Zi who was also wrapped in a cotton coat next to her, Yuan Shasha also sighed and said:
"It's just that my friend can't run away. If I run away, my friend might be in trouble. So, there's nothing I can do. I can't beat four hands with two fists."
"Xiao Yuan, what are you talking about?" Seeing that Yuan Shasha was still thinking about Yan Zi, Lu Weiwei walked up to her and said angrily:
"It's better that you're still alive. It's better than anything else. You have to know that those people are murderers without batting an eye."
"Senior Sister Lu?" Yuan Shasha could still hold back her emotions to some extent when she met Gu Chen.
But when she saw Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha's long-pressed emotions suddenly became unbearable. She hugged Lu Weiwei and burst into tears:
"I thought I would never see you again, wuwu."
"Xiao Yuan, just hope you're okay. We have been looking for your whereabouts for so many days. You really scared us to death."
Holding Yuan Shasha and hugging her tightly, Lu Weiwei did not dare to let go at this moment, for fear that if she let go, Yuan Shasha would disappear from her face again.
Lu Weiwei was afraid that this was a dream.
But now it seems that all this is not real, but it is real.
"Xiao Yuan, it's great that you are alive." When he saw Yuan Shasha, Comrade Lao Wang also had red eyes, his nose was sour, and he said in a bad mood:
"Did you know? During this period of your absence, everyone is thinking of you."
"Senior Brother Wang." When she saw Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha left Lu Weiwei's arms and hugged Officer Wang directly.
We haven't seen each other for many days, but we meet again in this environment, which makes people feel a little emotional.
The other police officers who were watching this scene all cast envious glances.
Gu Chen has no intention of getting together to celebrate yet. After all, Scar's team has not found Scar yet. This is the biggest hidden danger.
But considering that the ancient tomb has been found, that also means that the evidence of the crime can also be found.
After looking around, Gu Chen walked up to a third-level police inspector and asked, "Where is your Captain Zhao?"
"Take people to look for Scar's whereabouts." said the third-level police inspector.
"What's going on? Why did you let these people run away?" Gu Chen was also very puzzled.
After all, when it comes to numbers, everyone has an absolute advantage.
When it comes to equipment, various individual night vision devices and various standard individual weapons, they are all absolutely overwhelming.
But in such a situation where they had an absolute advantage everywhere, they actually let the Scar Man team run away, which somewhat puzzled Gu Chen.
At least in my opinion, this was just a question to get points, but Lao Zhao's actions gave him a failing grade.
This made Gu Chen unbelievable.
The third-level police inspector also looked embarrassed at this moment. After a long mental struggle, he slowly said:
"Originally, we could have caught these guys, but something went wrong in the last step."
"What's the problem?" Hearing what the third-level police inspector said, Officer Wang also became interested.
The third-level police inspector sighed and continued to explain: "When Team Zhao brought us close to here, we were a little careless and didn't notice that the other party had set up some warning bells in the outer area."
Team Zhao accidentally touched the thin line, which made a bit of noise.
At that moment, the device linked to the bell directly alerted the group of people hiding around the ancient tomb.
Afterwards, this group of people couldn't control it too much and just ran away.
But after seeing movement around us, we also took advantage of the night vision equipment and quickly approached.
But I never thought that there were many traps just a hundred meters away from the ancient tomb, and everyone tripped over them from time to time.
Having said this, the third-level police inspector also looked ashamed and shook his head helplessly:
"In the end, we had no choice. When we stumbled to the vicinity of the ancient tomb, they had already run away. Fortunately, the two hostages in the ancient tomb were not harmed."
"What about you, Team Zhao, now?" Lu Weiwei felt secretly happy when she heard this.
Although this is a bit unkind, what Lao Zhao said just now is indeed uncomfortable to listen to.
How confident I was just now, I feel so lonely now.
The third-level police inspector also said "Hi" and then said helplessly:
"Our Captain Zhao felt a little embarrassed. He left some people behind to guard the ancient tomb and protect the hostages. He himself led a group of people to chase after him. He should still be chasing him now. I don't know if he can catch up?"
"Give us Captain Zhao some confidence." Here, as soon as the third-level police inspector finished speaking, another third-level police inspector said jokingly.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and then asked again: "By the way, are there any treasures stored in the ancient tomb?"
"There are some, but judging from the signs, they should have been moved. I suspect that some of them have been transported away." said the third-level police inspector.
Gu Chen frowned, turned to look at Yuan Shasha, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked:
"By the way, Xiao Yuan, when they locked you two in the ancient tomb, did you see the treasure in the ancient tomb?"
"Treasure?" After hesitating for a moment, Yuan Shasha shook her head and said helplessly:
"When we were caught in the ancient tomb, they blindfolded us and prevented us from seeing anything."
"So, we didn't pay much attention to it, but in the past few days, I heard them moving things all the time."
"Furthermore, listening to their movements, the things they are moving are quite heavy, but the things they can move out each time are limited, and they can only move a little at a time."
"Is there such a thing?" Listening to Yuan Shasha's report, Gu Chen felt more and more that the treasure hidden in the hinterland of Centennial Peak seemed to be true.
After thinking again and again, Gu Chen looked back at the third-level police inspector and said, "Can you take me to see the ancient tomb?"
"Of course, Director Gu, come with me." Seeing that Gu Chen wanted to take a closer look inside the ancient tomb, the third-level police inspector immediately led him and started walking towards the entrance.
Upon seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang first asked Yuan Shasha to have a good rest at the entrance, and then followed Gu Chen into the ancient tomb.
The inside of the ancient tomb looked particularly bright under the illumination of a strong flashlight.
The moment everyone walked into the ancient tomb, they felt like they had entered an underground maze.
It can be said that the roads here basically require turning back and forth, which is very troublesome.
But from a structural point of view, these switchback roads are connected to each other.
It looks like an underground maze.
The third-level police inspector also took Gu Chen directly to a central area and said:
"Gu Ju, this place may not look big, but it has a lot of potential inside."
"Moreover, there are many treasures stored in this central area, look at this."
After the words fell, the third-level police inspector immediately shined a strong flashlight on the corner of the wall.
Those boxes of treasures seem to be the best proof.
"What is it?" Gu Chen asked curiously.
"They are all ancient utensils. They look like they are hundreds of years old. They are all cultural relics now," the third-level police inspector said.
"Where are Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi being imprisoned?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Over there." After hearing what Gu Chen said, the third-level police inspector immediately pointed in one of the directions.
Gu Chen took two steps forward and discovered that there was a small room in an area inside the ancient tomb.
On the floor of the small room, there were various kinds of food and water left.
There are all kinds of unpleasant smells around.
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen also sighed and said helplessly: "So, Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi are being detained in this kind of place these days?"
"Yes, they were indeed detained here when we came in and found them," the third-level police inspector said.
Gu Chen looked back at the treasure box not far away, and continued to ask: "Apart from the cultural relics stored here, where else can they be found?"
"It should be gone." Faced with Gu Chen's inquiry, the third-level police inspector shook his head and sighed:
"This ancient tomb looks like a maze inside, but it's actually not that big."
"After all, this is in the mountains, a hidden area in the mountains."
"It's very exciting to break ground here. I guess it was the ancestors of Hemu Village who spent many years of hard work to build this ancient tomb."
"Okay, I understand." After roughly understanding the internal structure of the ancient tomb, Gu Chen didn't want to stay here, so he could only walk out of the ancient tomb along the way he came.
As soon as he walked out of the cave, Gu Chen noticed that there seemed to be many more police officers around him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Most people are panting and looking frustrated.
Seeing that they were all not around the ancient tomb just now, Gu Chen thought to himself that maybe Old Zhao was back, so he quickly found a young police officer and asked:
"Is Captain Zhao back?"
"Team Zhao didn't come back. We and Team Zhao searched separately. However, the further we walked, the more we felt like we would get lost. Moreover, the trees in the mountains are all the same. We can't search in a place without coordinates."
With a heavy sigh, the young police officer said helplessly: "So, we came back first, but Captain Zhao and his team may still be looking for it."
Looking back in a certain direction, the young police officer also said with a worried look:
"What I'm most worried about right now is our Team Zhao. What if we get lost?"
"Okay, I understand." After listening to the young police officer's story, Gu Chen patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly:
"Thank you for your hard work, go over there and take a rest first."
"Okay." The young police officer agreed, and then found an empty spot under the big pine tree and sat down directly on the ground.
"Gu Bureau." At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind Gu Chen.
Gu Chen turned his head and shined a strong flashlight on the other person.
The other party quickly covered his face.
Gu Chen saw that the person coming was Lu Qiang, so he quickly turned down the light, walked up and asked:
"Senior Brother Lu, are you going to find Team Scar with Captain Zhao?"
"Yes." Lu Qiang was panting and said helplessly:
"This Lao Zhao is really like a bully. He just wants to find these people."
After a pause and looking at the resting police officers around him, Lu Qiang quickly continued to explain to Gu Chen:
"You must have heard that when Lao Zhao was approaching this ancient tomb, he was ambushed outside and the warning bell was triggered."
"In the end, they were discovered by this group of people. They ran away, so Lao Zhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead others to chase them. Several small groups have gone out, and they should be back one after another now."
"It's impossible not to come back to this place. After all, here we have the map route specified by you, which can be used as a reference."
"But if you blindly chase Scar in the mountains now, you will definitely get lost."
Speaking of this, Lu Qiang also looked helpless. It seemed that he had persuaded Captain Zhao at that time, but Comrade Zhao seemed to have turned a deaf ear.
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly stepped forward and said, "How many people did Old Zhao bring this time?"
Lu Qiang hurriedly looked at the number of people who had returned, and stepped forward to take stock of the scene. Then he made an estimate and said:
"There are three teams of people who went out to search for Scar's whereabouts, each team has about six members."
"I am one of the teams, and the other team has also returned. Now only Lao Zhao's team is left. Plus Lao Zhao, there are a total of six members."
"In other words, these six people are likely to get lost in the hinterland of Centenary Peak." After listening to Lu Qiang's words, Gu Chen probably realized the danger.
After all, in this wilderness, in the hinterland of Centennial Peak, there is no route guide.
I feel that Comrade Zhao was a little reckless, at least when he was arrested, he did not remain rational enough.
"No, we need to organize support immediately, otherwise these people won't be able to get out." Gu Chen thought for a moment and took out the prepared bag of red rope.
Seeing this, Lu Qiang also said slowly: "What is that? If you want to find someone, you'd better act now, otherwise these people will go further and further away, which will be a big trouble."
"Moreover, Dao Scar and his gang may have been hiking in the mountains and forests all year round, so they have extremely strong survival abilities in the wild."
"So, Lao Zhao may have met a real jungle master this time. It may be difficult to take advantage of Scar."
"I guess that's the case, too." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and said quickly:
"I now need to organize a support team to find the whereabouts of Captain Zhao. Who is willing to participate?"
"Me." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei was the first to raise her hand.
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly raised his hand.
Lu Qiang is the third one.
Afterwards, several more police officers raised their hands one after another.
Then more police officers raised their hands.
But after Gu Chen took a few glances, he slowly said: "When we go there this time, we don't need everyone to mobilize. We only need to organize a team of six people."
"The main purpose is to find Captain Zhao. In addition, we should tie red ropes along the way to facilitate our return."
After the words fell, Gu Chen pointed directly at two of the police officers and said: "You two follow us."
"Others, stay where you are."
"yes!"
After hearing Gu Chen's arrangement, everyone also agreed.
Afterwards, Gu Chen asked Yuan Shasha to stay where she was and rest for the time being, and then he led his team members and began to quickly follow the path Comrade Zhao had taken before.
Everyone has been marking the route with red ropes.
It was also when we came to a big tree that Lu Qiang reminded him: "I remember that all of us were separated here at that time. I was responsible for looking to the left."
"There is another group of people who are searching on the right side, while Lao Zhao is leading people to search in the middle."
"In other words, now we have to look for the place in the middle?" Officer Wang said.
"Well, this is the only way." Lu Qiang had no choice but to know a general direction.
But Gu Chen came to the middle area unhurriedly.
Gu Chen first squatted down and checked the surrounding vegetation. After confirming that there were traces of a large number of people passing by, he began to lead everyone forward cautiously.
And every time you walk a certain distance, you must tie a red rope on the surrounding vegetation.
In this way, Gu Chen relied on his characteristics of mountainous areas and began to look for people based on traces.
Not long after, Gu Chen came to an open space and saw that there seemed to be moving objects in the area ahead, so he looked for it and clenched his fists to be alert: "Stop moving forward, the target is found at 12 o'clock."
When everyone saw this, they also stopped in their tracks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In an instant, several lights shined together.
At this moment, an object hidden in the woods was also moving slowly.
"Who is it?" Lu Qiang shouted loudly.
"It's me, Xiao Liu." After hearing Lu Qiang's voice, the police officer hiding in the woods slowly stood up and waved in the opposite direction.
"It's one of our own." After seeing that it was the missing Xiao Liu, Lu Qiang immediately ran over with two police officers.
"Brother, it's time to meet you." The moment he saw Lu Qiang, the young police officer named Xiao Liu was also out of breath and looked like he was in pain.
When Lu Qiang saw this, he was also worried and said: "Xiao Liu, what's wrong with you? Aren't you with Captain Zhao?"
"It's harmful, stop talking." After hearing what Lu Qiang said, Officer Xiao Liu sighed helplessly:
"But Captain Zhao took us and chased us all the way. However, the mountain road was really difficult to walk, and it was dark and slippery. I accidentally tripped on a tree root and fell to the ground."
"But Captain Zhao was leading people in front and didn't pay attention to this at all. I called out a few times, and Captain Zhao asked me to stand by and said he would come back to find me, and then continued to rush forward."
With a heavy sigh, Officer Xiao Liu also sighed helplessly: "So I can't help it. I'm alone, with wounds on my feet. I'm afraid of meeting that scarred man."
"So, just to be on the safe side, I will hide here temporarily and wait for support."
Looking around, Officer Xiao Liu also said happily: "I didn't expect that I would be saved when I met you here."
"It's okay, you can go back and rest now." Gu Chen patted Officer Liu's right leg and asked, "Can you still walk now?"
"Barely enough." Officer Liu finished his words, picked up a wooden stick next to him, and stood up with support.
"Let's do this." Gu Chen thought for a moment, looked at a strong police officer next to him, and said:
"You take Xiao Liu and go back from the direction we came from. There are red rope marks on the road. Is there any problem?"
"No problem, just leave Xiao Liu to me." The strong police officer also quickly agreed.
"That's good." Seeing this, Gu Chen said to Lu Qiang: "Brother Lu, time is tight now and the tasks are heavy. We can't waste time here. At least it means that Team Zhao left from here."
"Yeah." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Qiang said to the strong police officer:
"Then I'll leave it to you, Xiao Liu. Let's all keep walking."
After a brief communication at the scene, everyone immediately headed towards the road ahead and continued to search for the past.
Since Gu Chen was good at finding the walking direction from the traces of vegetation, Gu Chen was always at the front of the team.
The people behind him were mainly responsible for guarding Gu Chen, and also lighting the road ahead for Gu Chen.
This kind of cooperation is very efficient, and Gu Chen's search speed is also accelerating.
Along the way, Gu Chen found four more police officers one after another. They all gradually became separated during the tracking process.
In addition, it was dark and the road was slippery, so everyone lost their way and had no choice but to stop and wait for dawn before trying to walk back.
But when they met Gu Chen, they met their savior.
Since no one was injured, they all joined Gu Chen's search team and continued to look for Comrade Lao Zhao.
"Gu Chen, our Team Zhao is a little bit shaky. Everyone lost us in the mountains and forests. However, our Team Zhao did find that the other party was not far away and was still alone."
"So, he rushed over just to catch the other person."
With a faint sigh, the missing police officer said helplessly:
"But now, everyone is lost and feels like they don't know where they are going?"
"Especially in this dark mountain forest, if the other party sets up an ambush to ambush us, we will be in big trouble."
Listening to the police officer's introduction, Gu Chen searched for Comrade Zhao based on the traces of vegetation at the site and inquired:
"Then during your pursuit, did you only find one target?"
"Yes, our team Zhao only found one suspect, so we locked on this suspect and chased him all the way."
"If this was normal, I would have caught the other party a long time ago, but this is a mountain forest, and the other party is good at traveling through the mountains and forests."
With a heavy sigh, the young police officer shook his head helplessly: "It's a pity that our advantages cannot be used."
"Shh!" At the moment when the team member spoke, Gu Chen suddenly stopped and put his right index finger to his mouth to make a shushing gesture.
When everyone saw this, they all stopped at the same time.
Everyone began to be wary of their surroundings.
"Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Lu Weiwei leaned into Gu Chen's ear and asked in a low voice.
"There seems to be movement ahead." Gu Chen whispered back, and then quickly shone his bright flashlight on it.
However, the area ahead seemed so quiet at this moment.
"There's no movement?" Officer Wang looked puzzled.
Lu Qiang also shined his own bright flashlight on it, and then said:
"There's really no movement over there."
"Don't worry." Gu Chen was not in a hurry and asked in a low voice, "Is that Captain Zhao in front of you?"
"Is it Gu Ju?" After hearing a familiar voice, a response came from a weed field ahead.
After hearing the other party's response, Lu Qiang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Oh! Is it really you, Lao Zhao?"
After the words fell, Lu Qiang quickly ran forward.
When others saw this, they also followed Lu Qiang's footsteps.
Only then did everyone realize that at this moment, Comrade Zhao was lying on a big tree, looking very embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that everyone has arrived, Captain Zhao is still sitting there and seems to have no intention of getting up.
"Hehe." Seeing everyone looking at him with curious eyes, the embarrassed Comrade Zhao also gave a tactical chuckle before cursing:
"Originally, I was only about 10 meters away from the suspect I was chasing. As I was chasing him, I tripped over a plant stem in the mountains and injured my leg. It was really unlucky.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Speaking of this, Comrade Zhao seemed to want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Seeing this situation, Lu Weiwei suppressed her laughter, and then said slowly: "Captain Zhao, it's okay, the woods are like this, you just need to be fine."
After she finished speaking, Lu Weiwei looked around and reminded her, "What are you doing standing still here? Hurry, lift Captain Zhao up and carry him back."
"oh oh."
The few police officers who were stunned on the spot finally recovered from their dazed state and quickly helped Team Zhao up from the ground.
Then, one of the strong team members immediately picked up Comrade Zhao on his back and said:
"Captain Zhao, I will take you back."
"But the suspect..."
"Old Zhao." Seeing that Comrade Old Zhao was still thinking about the suspect he was tracking at this moment, Lu Qiang also said angrily:
"You are injured like this. If you don't go back for proper treatment, your legs will swell into pig's trotters. You should go back first and leave the rest to us."
It was also after hearing what Lu Qiang said that Comrade Zhao was a little unwilling, and then he sighed and nodded helplessly.
Under everyone's gaze, two police officers escorted Comrade Zhao out of here.
At this moment, everyone turned their attention to Gu Chen.
It seems that Gu Chen has gained everyone's trust with his performance just now.
Everyone's admiration for Gu Chen comes from the bottom of their hearts.
A young police officer asked Gu Chen directly: "Gu Bureau, what should we do now? Continue chasing?"
"How many more red ropes are there?" Gu Chen asked.
Everyone did not answer immediately, but rummaged through their pockets.
Everyone gathered the red ropes in their hands.
Lu Weiwei also counted them carefully before replying: "It seems like there are still hundreds of them."
"That's enough." After hearing this, Gu Chen slowly said:
"We will chase until the red rope is used up. No matter whether we catch up with the opponent or not, as long as the red rope is used up, we must return immediately. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
After hearing what Gu Chen said, everyone echoed in unison.
Then Gu Chen waved his hand, and everyone immediately launched a search operation.
Afterwards, everyone started to tie red ropes along the way and chased all the way forward.
Gu Chen also discovered that the signs of vegetation collapse ahead seemed to be becoming more and more obvious.
In an open space, Gu Chen stopped again and said slowly: "It seems that the other party is also exhausted. At first, the traces of vegetation were very small, but now they are becoming more and more obvious, indicating that the movement is slowing down.
