Gu Chen had just walked out of the hospital and was about to buy some breakfast nearby when a man riding a bicycle passed directly by Gu Chen.
Because the speed was too fast, there was no time to brake, so Gu Chen could only use his dexterity to avoid the impact.
"Whoa!"
As a gust of riding wind blew by, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the breakfast in his hand, and sighed:
"Are you rushing to go to work or something? But it's not the time to go to work now, right?"
Seeing that the man was already walking away, Gu Chen didn't care. After all, everyone in the ward was still waiting for his breakfast.
But when Gu Chen was about to leave, the man riding the bike who whizzed past suddenly turned around and rode directly towards Gu Chen.
But this time, Gu Chen also paid attention to the man and stopped on the spot, wanting to know what the other person was going to do?
But when the other party rode up to him, Gu Chen realized that this man was wrapped tightly from head to toe and was wearing cycling equipment. He looked very professional.
Between his only exposed eyes, Gu Chen suddenly felt that the other party seemed to be looking for him.
So Gu Chen quickly asked him: "Are you okay?"
"Are you Gu Chen? The policeman from Jiangnan City?" the man suddenly asked.
Gu Chen looked at the person in front of him with vigilance, and nodded in agreement: "Yes, I am Gu Chen, who are you?"
"Don't say anything." The man quickly turned around and looked around, then explained to Gu Chen:
"At 12 o'clock tonight, the crooked-neck tree on the top of Hongshan Mountain is waiting for me."
"Who are you? Why should I go there?" Gu Chen also felt very strange when he saw that the other party seemed to want to see him for something, but told him the address but not the reason for the matter.
But the other party seemed to be very vigilant, and was constantly observing the surrounding situation while speaking.
Seeing Gu Chen ask, the man added: "Aren't you investigating Shuke? If you want to know the truth of the matter, just do as I say."
After the words fell, the man pointed to Gu Chen and continued to remind: "Also, don't try to use your Skynet system to track me down. If you are smart enough, it is best not to tell anyone."
"It's best for you to come here alone. If I find someone else coming with you, you won't get everything you want to know."
As soon as the words fell, the man immediately turned around and rode directly towards an alley of the hospital, quickly disappearing from Gu Chen's sight.
"Who does this person come from?" Listening to what the other party said, Gu Chen was unsure, but this person seemed to know his identity, and he also knew about Shu Ke.
Obviously, the situation he has grasped is indeed what he needs at the moment.
But if the other party dares to threaten him like this, it is obvious that he is quite confident in his counter-reconnaissance.
It was easy to say that he could go to the appointment alone, but according to the regulations, he had to comrade Guo Qiang.
So after returning to the hospital ward, Gu Chen called Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha outside to discuss with everyone what had just happened outside.
When Lu Weiwei heard that the other party wanted Gu Chen to go to the appointment alone, she quickly reminded her, "Junior Brother Gu, you must not go there alone. This is most likely a trap."
"Yes, since the other party knows about Shu Ke, it is obvious that he and Shu Ke are in the same group, or in other words, they are probably the accomplices who broke up. Senior Brother Gu should pay attention."
Officer Wang crossed his arms and frowned, and quickly added: "We still need to inform Guo Qiang."
"I will handle this matter." After Gu Chen finished speaking, he took out his mobile phone, went to a quiet corner, and began to communicate with Guo Qiang about the incident.
After listening to Gu Chen's explanation on the phone, Guo Qiang said in disbelief: "Is there such a thing? Did this person really come outside the hospital so blatantly and find you?"
"That's right." Gu Chen said firmly again.
Guo Qiang, who was on the phone, took a deep breath and said slowly: "The fact that he dared to say this means that he knows you, has also gone to the hospital to investigate you, and even came to remind you when you went out to buy breakfast.
Stupid?"
"Don't he know that he will be followed by us?"
"But you can tell from his tone that he doesn't seem to be afraid that you will find him." Gu Chen said.
"Haha, our Haidong City police are not vegetarians. Okay, then I will arrange personnel to find him now. I will call you later."
"Okay." Seeing that Guo Qiang was so confident, Gu Chen didn't want to say anything more.
So after the two briefly communicated for a while, they both hung up the phone.
After returning to the ward, Gu Chen and everyone waited for nearly 40 minutes, but Guo Qiang never called.
It seems that it is not difficult to find this person using surveillance.
If it were He Junchao, it would only take a moment, but now, it takes about 40 minutes.
Gu Chen was afraid that Guo Qiang seemed to have forgotten to give him a reply, so he picked up the phone again and dialed Guo Qiang's number directly.
But this time, after the phone rang continuously for a while, Guo Qiang's voice appeared on the phone: "Oh, Gu Bureau."
"Captain Guo, have you found that person?" Gu Chen asked.
"Oh, that person? That..."
Seeming to be a little embarrassed, Guo Qiang said slowly after a few slaps in the face:
"This guy is indeed a bit cunning. I used Skynet to find him, but he managed to escape."
"Lost?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." Although he was reluctant, Guo Qiang still told Gu Chen the truth:
"This person seems to have a few brushes, and his anti-reconnaissance capabilities are indeed very strong. We only found his bicycle, but not the person."
"He may have escaped by changing clothes and using other identities. We are still actively investigating."
"Then maybe you really can't find him." Although Gu Chen didn't want to hurt Guo Qiang, Guo Qiang's confidence just now seemed to have slapped him hard in the face.
And when I think about the man who told me to go to the Crooked Neck Tree on the top of Hongshan Mountain at 12 o'clock in the evening, he has a determined look in his eyes, and he seems to have expected that the police will not find him.
It was obvious that he had done his homework and knew how to escape surveillance.
In terms of counter-reconnaissance, I feel like he is a master.
If the other party dares to appear in front of you with such a big fanfare and dare to make big lies, it is obvious that they will not let you find them.
Therefore, Gu Chen expected that it would be difficult for Guo Qiang to make a breakthrough.
Guo Qiang seemed a little unconvinced, and quickly changed the subject to Gu Chen: "Then what? Gu Bureau, does he really ask you to meet at the Crooked Neck Tree on the top of Hongshan Mountain at 12 o'clock in the evening?"
"Yes." Gu Chen responded again.
"Otherwise, I will arrange some manpower to ambush near the crooked neck tree on the top of Hongshan Mountain in advance."
"In this way, you can be protected secretly."
"No." As soon as Guo Qiang finished speaking, he was directly rejected by Gu Chen:
"Since the other party dares to say that, he seems to be a very confident person."
"He may have guessed that I will report this matter to you, or he may have guessed that we will investigate him through surveillance."
"He may also have guessed that we can't find him at all, so it seems that all this is under his control."
"If at this time, you still send men to ambush at the top of Hongshan Mountain in advance, then he must also know."
"Then what should we do? We have to consider your safety, right? We don't know now whether he and this Shu Ke are in the same group?" Guo Qiang on the phone was a little anxious and was also thinking about Gu Chen's safety.
But Gu Chen said calmly: "Actually, it doesn't matter. I can protect myself."
"And according to my judgment, he might want to tell me something or ask for my help."
"However, he was not sure whether I trusted him, so perhaps he was just testing my integrity by letting me go up the mountain alone."
"Since he wants to ask me for help, he will not hurt me. I can also get to know this mysterious person by communicating with him."
"This..." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Guo Qiang hesitated for a while before decisively refusing:
"No, we can't ignore your comfort, we must keep you under our protection."
After a pause, Guo Qiang on the phone said again: "Let's do this. We will arrange for manpower to ambush near Hongshan. You go to the appointment with a positioning device. Firstly, we can determine your specific location. Secondly, we can use the eavesdropping device to
, let us understand the situation on site."
"I think it's still inappropriate." As soon as Guo Qiang finished speaking, Gu Chen expressed his opinion:
"I feel like this person is a bit powerful. First of all, he is very brave and dares to inform me of this on the street."
"He also confidently told me not to try to track him. Obviously, he has strong practice in counter-reconnaissance, which you have already appreciated."
"And I judge that he may have guessed that I will inform you of this situation because he wants to let you know how powerful he is through me."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried to calm down and then said: "What I have to do now is to meet him alone according to his request."
"Also, it's best not to carry any positioning device with you. Just bring a mobile phone. I'll turn on the positioning device."
"If he asks me to turn off my phone and take me to the next location, then I can only obey and do it."
"I just want to see what he wants to do with me?"
"This..." It felt like Gu Chen was determined to go to the appointment, which made Guo Qiang on the phone a little embarrassed.
First of all, this is an extremely dangerous job. Without knowing the identity and motives of the other party, you just rush to the appointment, and it's still on the top of the mountain in the early morning.
Once a problem occurs, rescue will take time, and in a place like Hongshan, with high mountains and dense forests, if one digs in, it would be like climbing to the sky to find it.
It is precisely because Guo Qiang knows this very well that Guo Qiang can't make up his mind now.
At this moment, Gu Chen asked again: "Captain Guo, don't worry, I will protect myself. If the situation goes wrong, I will retreat immediately."
"Okay." Seeing Gu Chen's resolute attitude, and listening to Gu Chen's analysis, the other party did not want to hurt Gu Chen, but just wanted something from Gu Chen, so he asked Gu Chen to go to the top of Hongshan Mountain.
If the other party is kind, you may be able to find some important clues from the other party. This is definitely a good choice for handling the case and finding the criminal Shu Ke.
After repeatedly weighing the pros and cons, Guo Qiang on the phone finally relented: "You can go to the appointment alone, but we have to stay at the foot of the mountain and you can support us at any time."
"In addition, I will dispatch police drones to search Hongshan. These are necessary procedures."
"Okay." Seeing that the other party agreed with his actions, Gu Chen also made an appropriate compromise.
The two also completed the call during a period of repeated bargaining.
Seeing that Gu Chen was about to go to Hongshan for an appointment, Lu Weiwei said with a worried look: "Junior Brother Gu, are you sure that person really won't hurt you? What if he wants to take revenge on us and captures their companions?"
"He may be the fake Liu Xia, or an accomplice of the hacker?"
"Maybe, maybe not." Gu Chen picked up a bottle of water, drank a few sips, and then said:
"But since there is a condition for knowing the truth, why don't I go?"
"But it's very dangerous." Lu Weiwei said.
"Then I'm more dangerous." Gu Chen also said jokingly.
Lu Weiwei was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help but laugh out loud, nodded and smiled to comfort herself:
"Yes, anyone who dares to touch your junior brother Gu usually doesn't end well. I hope that guy can take care of himself."
Although she knew that it was very dangerous for Gu Chen to go to the appointment alone, Lu Weiwei also knew about Gu Chen's strength after all, and his abilities in all aspects were close to those of a hexagonal warrior.
Especially Gu Chen's experience in jungle warfare is quite rich, and he must be able to find some favorable conditions for himself through the terrain.
But after all, this is an ideal situation. What does the reality look like? Everyone was unsure, so Lu Weiwei quickly opened her phone and started searching for everything about Hongshan.
When she saw the introduction on the page, Lu Weiwei's heart skipped a beat and she said nervously:
"Hongshan has high mountains and dense forests, and a large area of deep forests, which is indeed rare along the coast."
"The other party uses this kind of terrain to get past you. It's obvious that they have already made plans to retreat."
"And when I asked you to meet me early in the morning, I probably wanted to hide my true appearance, so that I could advance, attack or retreat."
"This guy has already thought of various escape routes from the beginning."
Speaking of this, Lu Weiwei also sighed and asked with a puzzled face: "But what is the background of this guy?"
"Where's the crooked-neck tree? Do you have any introduction?" Seeing that Lu Weiwei was still in a daze, Gu Chen also asked.
"Oh." Lu Weiwei reacted and immediately started searching again.
Not long after, Lu Weiwei raised her head and looked at Gu Chen and said: "The top of Hongshan Mountain is very steep, and there is indeed a crooked-neck tree there. Many people also hang ribbons on the tree. That place is where many outdoor hikers go when they climb the mountain.
Check-in in that area is also an internet celebrity tree."
