After briefly learning about the crooked-neck tree on the top of Hongshan Mountain, Gu Chen also began to carefully consider his next action.
So Gu Chen opened the map on his mobile phone and began to familiarize himself with the terrain of Hongshan based on the shape of the satellite map.
Moreover, Gu Chen also searched some hiking guides about Hongshan on the Internet, and he also had a rough idea of what Hongshan was like.
"A place like Hongshan, because of its high mountains and dense forests, is defined as a forest park and a protected area."
"Generally speaking, it is not open to the public because there are all kinds of wild animals inside."
“It’s only in recent years that many travel enthusiasts have begun to explore the hinterland of Hongshan and opened up some niche hiking routes.”
"And the road to the top of Hongshan Mountain is not far from the village at the bottom of the mountain. It can be reached on foot in a few hours, so many people will try to go there in one day."
"But if I want to get there early in the morning, I need to leave at about 8pm, and maybe I can still have some spare time."
Gu Chen also explained it to everyone based on Hongshan's specific situation.
Officer Wang crossed his arms and said slowly: "Since Guo Qiang has already said it, follow his wishes and ask him to send out drones for investigation in the early stage. After confirming the specific situation there, you can set off again.
.”
"In addition, it's best to wear some protective tools with you."
"Wear a pair of anti-cut gloves, they can be disguised as hiking gloves." Lu Weiwei heard what Officer Wang said and quickly reminded her.
Yuan Shasha also echoed: "Yes, you must wear a pair of anti-cut gloves to be prepared. If that guy uses a knife with Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Gu will still be protected."
"Actually, there's no need." Gu Chen felt that it was making a fuss out of a molehill. In that case, if the opponent was not a fighting master, Gu Chen could subdue him in a few or two strokes.
But Lu Weiwei insisted: "Bringing it with you is better than not bringing it with you, right?"
"You can't be careless about this kind of thing. Senior Brother Gu, just bring a pair."
"Yes, just take it with you." Officer Wang reminded him.
Seeing everyone's persistence, Gu Chen took a deep breath and could only agree: "Okay, bring a pair and a pair of handcuffs."
"If I can arrest him, I will try my best to arrest him."
"Yeah." Seeing that Gu Chen had this idea, Lu Weiwei nodded silently and said: "In addition, Guo Qiang's people can't support you, but we have the final say in terms of space."
"You can ask Guo Qiang to send out multiple drones to closely monitor the surrounding heat sources."
"Using technology can help you to a certain extent. You must find this guy, but you can't let him conduct a sneak attack on you."
"Okay." Seeing that this method was not bad, Gu Chen would not refuse.
So everyone got together and discussed for a long time before deciding on the specific time to climb the mountain.
…
…
In the afternoon, Gu Chen asked Guo Qiang to send police officers, leaving Gu Jun and Zhang Li in the ward.
Gu Chen took everyone directly to Hongcun at the foot of Hongshan Mountain.
Since there was only one way up the mountain, everyone was also wondering what this man meant by asking Gu Chen to meet at the top of the mountain early in the morning.
"Comrade police, please drink a glass of water." Hongcun has a small population. An old lady brought a glass of water and handed it to Gu Chen.
"Thank you." Gu Chen nodded slightly and said thank you.
Guo Qiang, who was wearing casual clothes on the other side, also asked the old lady: "Old man, have you really not noticed that anyone has been to your place in the past few days?"
"No." The old lady shook her head.
"What about today? Besides us, who else has been to the mountain?" Guo Qiang asked again.
"I don't know." The old lady still shook her head and explained:
"Who is going up the mountain? How do I know? After all, the village is still some distance away from the road up the mountain. To go up the mountain, you don't need to pass through our village."
"That's right." Yuan Shasha looked around, then looked at Guo Qiang and said:
"Captain Guo, why don't you send a drone up to investigate first?"
"Okay." After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Guo Qiang said to a plainclothes policeman at the door:
"Please pay attention to the situation on the roadside. This place is the best place to observe the route up the mountain. If a stranger comes up the mountain, notify me immediately."
"Understood." After hearing what Guo Qiang said, the plainclothes policeman quickly agreed.
Later, Guo Qiang came to another police officer in charge of the machine and reminded:
"Fly the drone up and check the situation first."
"Okay." The young police officer didn't think much and directly opened the suitcase containing the machine, then took out the professional drone from the thick sponge and began to go to an open location to debug the equipment.
This kind of police drone is mostly used for high-altitude reconnaissance and is equipped with certain thermal imaging and night vision functions.
It is only used during the day and many functions cannot be used well.
But it is still good for early detection.
Since there is no height limit, the drone quickly flew directly from the window to high altitude.
Everyone immediately gathered around the computer screen.
The operator operates the remote control and looks at the display screen in the remote control.
Others are gathered in front of the computer, and things are going on simultaneously here.
The picture on the screen continued to stretch, and then the operator began to fly directly to the top of Hongshan Mountain according to the location.
The old lady was also surprised to see it, and kept explaining beside her: "Go straight up here, and you will reach the top of Hongshan Mountain."
"The mountain roads here are easier to walk. They were developed by the people who walked the caravans in the past. The mountain roads in other places are steeper and generally only animals can walk."
"Then those who usually come here to hike, do they all go up from here?" Guo Qiang asked.
The old lady nodded silently: "Yes, there are often some professional tour leaders who come with a group of people carrying large backpacks. They usually bring a lot of things."
"That's heavy equipment, with a tent." Gu Chen said.
"Yes, they just want to set up tents on the mountain." After hearing Gu Chen's words, the old lady quickly agreed, and then said:
"Generally speaking, on the first day they come here, they will rest in our village and usually come to my house."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Because our restaurant is relatively large and can accommodate many people, so they usually eat at my house."
"If they want accommodation, they will go to the house next door to me. Some of their houses have been converted into bedrooms, which is the kind of dormitory."
"Then they will go up the mountain with their equipment and camp on the mountain. It feels like they are a group of people who have nothing to do but have enough to eat."
"Pfft!" Hearing what the old lady said, Lu Weiwei burst out laughing and quickly explained:
"Old lady, this is not about having enough food and nothing to do. This is outdoor hiking and a way of traveling to exercise."
"Well, I don't understand it anyway, as long as it makes money," the old lady said.
"Are there usually many people coming here?" Guo Qiang asked.
"Well, generally speaking, it depends on the season." The old lady hesitated for a few seconds and then said slowly:
"They will come if there is snow, and they will come when the azaleas are in bloom. Anyway, they will come when the scenery is good. There should be fewer people coming during this period."
"The last time so many people came to the village was 10 days ago."
"Okay." After hearing what the old lady said, Guo Qiang continued to communicate with her.
At this time, the drone operator also reminded: "Team Guo, we have searched everything. Everything on the top of Hongshan Mountain is normal, and there are no signs of human activity."
"Search carefully and search more," Guo Qiang reminded.
"Okay." After hearing what Guo Qiang said, the operator also echoed: "Then if the power runs out, I will fly back."
"Okay." Guo Qiang waved his hand and agreed.
As time passed, drones flew up the mountain one after another, but nothing was found.
From the perspective of the drone, everyone can see the crooked-neck tree with many outdoor webbing hanging on it, but the surrounding area is empty and there is no trace of anyone.
…
…
At 6 p.m., Gu Chen, who had already had dinner in advance, looked down at the time and said:
"It's getting late, I have to go up the mountain immediately, otherwise I will miss the appointment."
"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen had said so, Guo Qiang quickly reminded: "We will send out drones from time to time later to observe your location."
While talking, Guo Qiang directly brought a headset device, took the initiative to help Gu Chen put it on, and said:
"If necessary, please contact us at any time and we will use a drone to locate your specific location."
"Okay." After hearing Guo Qiang's words, Gu Chen simply arranged the equipment on his body, checked the handcuffs, and hung them directly on the belt around his waist.
Afterwards, Gu Chen put on a pair of anti-cut gloves, found a strong wooden stick, tested the hardness, and started to climb the mountain.
Due to safety considerations, everyone must stay in the house and cannot follow Gu Chen.
Gu Chen's approximate location can only be determined through the signal source on Gu Chen's body.
Everyone gathered around the computer and looked at the flashing signal on the computer screen.
"Gu Chen walks so fast. He walked out of the village so quickly and headed towards the woods."
"If we follow this speed, we can actually reach the top of the mountain in two hours." Guo Qiang said.
"Perhaps it won't take more than two hours. Didn't you say that there is only one road for hiking on the mountain, and there are signs along the way?" Officer Wang said.
Guo Qiang nodded silently: "Yes, there is only one road up here. If that guy wants to go up the mountain, he must take this road."
"Can't we take other mountain roads?" Lu Weiwei also joked.
At this moment, the old lady quickly agreed: "It's possible. There are several roads up the mountain, but the other roads up the mountain are relatively steep and there are not many safety measures."
"Moreover, it has been in disrepair and many roads are covered with weeds. If this person walks on it, he really can't tell which roads are there? So it will be more dangerous."
"Generally speaking, only experienced trekking friends who often go hiking there know about it."
"It doesn't have to be so complicated." After hearing what the old lady said, Officer Wang also took out his mobile phone and explained:
"You only need to use outdoor hiking software to know that if someone has walked on those roads, then you only need to download the other person's hiking track and then follow the other person's track."
"Even if there is no obvious road, as long as there are tracks, you can find your way up the mountain."
"Is that so?" Listening to Officer Wang's explanation, the old lady said with emotion:
"Oh, today's high technology is getting better and better. Like before, if we wanted to walk on those mountain roads, we would definitely need a guide, otherwise we would easily get lost."
"Yes, technology changes life." Guo Qiang listened to the old lady's emotion and said casually.
But when he lowered his head and looked at the screen, his face was startled. He couldn't help but move his head closer and said in disbelief:
"Why is it so fast? Doesn't Gu Chen need to rest even when climbing a mountain?"
"Junior brother Gu has his own rhythm when climbing mountains. He will adjust his breathing when walking according to the rhythm. In addition, he often moves outdoors, so it is normal for him to go fast."
"Oh." Seeing what Lu Weiwei said, Guo Qiang quickly said again:
"I just feel that Gu Chen moves too fast. Normal people move slowly and slowly. I'm afraid that he will get tired."
"That's no need. This guy doesn't even know what tiredness is." Officer Wang knew that Guo Qiang didn't understand Gu Chen's strength, so he was so surprised.
But in fact, Officer Wang was also shocked by Gu Chen's climbing speed.
It would be fine if he had this speed on an ordinary gentle road, but since he was climbing to a high altitude, Gu Chen's speed showed no signs of slowing down.
It seems that most people will not be able to stand such a climb.
As time passed by, Yuan Shasha, who was watching the screen, reminded her: "Senior Brother Gu is almost at the top of the mountain."
"So fast?" Guo Qiang heard this and quickly returned to the screen.
But when I looked at the time again, I saw that this guy hadn't even been there for an hour and was already approaching the top of the mountain.
The other plainclothes policemen looked at each other in confusion while observing, feeling that this Gu Chen was a physical monster.
"This Gu Bureau has really good physical strength. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to walk," said a tall and thin police officer.
Another strong police officer also quickly echoed: "I have climbed this mountain before, and I climbed it with light equipment. It also took almost two and a half hours from this village."
Looking at the signal source on the screen, the strong man also said with emotion: "But we can approach the summit in less than an hour. I can only say that Gu Ju is really physically weak."
In fact, everyone can't understand how Gu Chen developed his speed and endurance?
This kind of pace climb is unbearable for most people, and it can reach the level of an athlete.
While everyone was discussing, Yuan Shasha quickly reminded:
"Look, Senior Brother Gu's signal source has stopped. This location happens to be the top of Hongshan Mountain. Senior Brother Gu has already reached the top. He should be under the Crooked Neck Tree, right?"
Guo Qiang, who only reacted after hearing Yuan Shasha's words, quickly said to the drone operator: "Hurry up, fly the drone out and take a look."
"Yes." After receiving the order, the operator operated the drone again and began to fly out of the house and towards the top of the mountain.
In the room, there are also a lot of drone batteries that are being charged.
