Since the signal source showed that it was there, for Gu Chen's safety, Guo Qiang sent a drone to investigate.
However, when the drone flew over the top of the mountain, everyone could only see traces of Gu Chen on the display screen.
At this time, Gu Chen was also inspecting carefully under the crooked neck tree.
There are many ribbons from outdoor organizations tied here, and many people have engraved their names here.
But these are not what Gu Chen cares about. What Gu Chen wants to know most now is when will the man appear? Under what circumstances will he appear?
Since he arrived at the top of Hongshan Mountain too early, Gu Chen was not a person who took time off, so he began to search around the area around the top of the mountain and started walking around.
Trying to find some traces of that man.
As time passed by, the sky began to get darker.
Then the long night entered.
Gu Chen stayed at the top of the mountain, sat down leaning on the crooked neck tree, and looked down at the time.
The time now is 11:50 pm.
Gu Chen also muttered to himself: "In other words, there are still 10 minutes left, which is the time everyone agreed on?"
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen continued to look to both sides, but found no trace of any pedestrians.
"Obviously I can only feel my breath here, but where will the other person be?"
Gu Chen stood up and continued to feel the movement in the mountains.
It stands to reason that Gu Chen has a master's level of observation and would not be able to sense when someone is approaching.
But the situation at this time is that no matter how you observe in the mountains, you are the only one.
Thinking that there were still a few minutes until the promised early morning, Gu Chen felt like he was being let off the hook.
But I still want to wait with a glimmer of hope.
At the same time, in the village at the foot of the mountain, Lu Weiwei and others were also waiting anxiously.
Guo Qiang lowered his head and glanced at his watch, and reminded the drone operator beside him: "The time is almost up, let's fly another one to take a look."
"But Captain Guo, we have flown too many sorties this afternoon and haven't found any trace of any other strangers going up the mountain?"
"And our drones are equipped with thermal imaging. Currently we can only observe that there is only one heat source on the top of Hongshan Mountain, Gu Ju."
"What if the other party is disguised? For the sake of the safety of the bureau, fly another one over. This one happens to be hovering nearby to see what's going on around us."
"Okay." Seeing the leader's insistence, the drone operator couldn't say anything else. He could only obey and continue to fly the drone into the sky.
But Lu Weiwei looked hesitant and reminded:
"If you fly a drone at night, there will be lights flashing on the drone. If the other party is at the scene, they will definitely be able to see it."
"If this happens, will the other party not come out?"
"Then we don't care about Gu Bureau's life safety, right?" In Guo Qiang's cognitive world, safety must come first.
Even if you are likely to be discovered by the other party, it still has a deterrent effect.
Officer Wang sighed and said, "We have been observing for such a long time. Except for Gu Chen, no one else has gone up the mountain."
"If that person is going up the mountain from another route, then the terrain in other places is very steep and it will take a lot of time."
"But our drones have searched over and over again, and apart from finding some heat sources for wild animals, there is nothing else at all."
"Could that be that person who deliberately disguised himself as an animal?" Yuan Shasha suddenly thought.
But the drone operator denied: "No, the disguised animal heat source, I can tell it by looking at it carefully several times. Those wild animals are all real and not disguised."
"And the range of their activities is also a bit far away from Hongshan."
"What should we do? There is no one else on the top of the mountain except Senior Brother Gu." Yuan Shasha also looked anxious at this moment.
But at this moment, the drone operator reminded: "No, heavy fog has begun to form in the mountains, and the visibility has begun to decrease."
"Can't you see it?" Guo Qiang asked.
"It was all blocked by fog, and strong winds began to blow in the mountains," the drone operator said.
At this moment, everyone began to gather together and began to pay close attention to the picture on the screen.
However, everything in the picture at this moment was completely black, and the line of sight was completely in a blind spot.
On the other side, Gu Chen on the mountain also began to notice that mist was beginning to drift in the mountain.
The area that could only be seen a moment ago was shrouded in fog in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Gu Chen was surrounded by darkness.
Gu Chen turned on the handlight and began to provide himself with a safe lighting range.
Thinking that it was already early in the morning, Gu Chenxin said that the other party might know the weather habits in the mountains, so he wanted to use the fog in the mountains to protect himself.
But that's what Gu Chen thought, but the other party didn't seem to think so.
Gu Chen just sat there quietly until 1:20 in the morning.
However, in the mountains and forests at this time, the temperature also began to slowly drop.
Moreover, the signal here is not good and it is impossible to make calls at all.
Staying in the mist like this, Gu Chen felt that the other party didn't seem to want to come to the appointment, so he stood up and after observing for a while, he chose to go down the mountain first.
When Gu Chen walked back to the village through the fog of night.
Lu Weiwei, who was already waiting at the door, also looked at Gu Chen with a confused face, rushed forward, looked at Gu Chen up and down and said:
"Junior Brother Gu, are you okay?"
"Is nothing wrong?" Gu Chen spread his hands to show that he had no problem.
"Then have you seen that person?" Lu Weiwei asked again.
Gu Chen smiled slightly and shook his head to explain: "I was on the top of the mountain and didn't find anyone else."
"That means, that person is playing tricks on us? Maybe he is playing a prank on us?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang seemed to have some new ideas.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But Gu Chen walked into the room and explained:
"If the other party is brave enough and can take the initiative to find me and send me an invitation, then he must be a very smart person."
"Then the other party must also know that I will not go to the appointment alone tonight."
"He must also know that there may be many policemen hiding around me, waiting for me."
"Then in this case, he may not show up."
"Is this really the case?" Lu Weiwei thought for a few seconds and then said slowly:
"However, judging from our situation, everyone probably knows that there is a police ambush here, right?"
"If you knew there was someone here, why would the other party come here?"
"What should we do?" Hearing this, Guo Qiang had no idea for a moment.
So everyone turned their attention to Gu Chen again.
Gu Chen said calmly: "According to my opinion, the other party may want to see me and talk about Shuke's problem alone."
"However, the other party seemed to know that I would also bring other people with me, so he broke the appointment."
"What do you mean?" Guo Qiang asked.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and continued to explain: "I think the other party will definitely ask me out again."
"Let's see then. I don't think there is any need to stay here today." Officer Wang looked around and reminded:
"How about everyone withdraw?"
"Retreat!" It felt like he had been busy for a long time, but had achieved nothing. Although Guo Qiang had every choice, he could only order a retreat.
Afterwards, the convoy began to return directly to Haidong City along the road it came from.
…
…
The next morning, Gu Chen walked to the street outside the hospital again, wanting to try his luck here to see if he could meet that person.
But the other party's bicycle has been impounded by the Haidong City Police, so Gu Chen is curious about what kind of transportation the other party will use to appear in front of him?
But Gu Chen waited on the street for a long time, but still got nothing.
In desperation, Gu Chen could only go to the store where he bought breakfast yesterday and bring some breakfast to everyone.
But when Gu Chen came to the door of the breakfast shop opposite the hospital, there was a group of people gathered around, rushing to get all kinds of breakfast they had bought.
Just when Gu Chen was about to order, a breakfast shop clerk recognized Gu Chen and quickly reminded him: "Handsome guy, handsome guy."
When Gu Chen heard this, he looked around and when he was sure that the other person was calling him, he took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Are you calling me?"
"Yes." The female clerk nodded silently, then took off her disposable gloves and turned around to go inside the restaurant.
Not long after, I saw the other party fetching a letter and explaining: "Someone asked me to give this to you."
"Envelope?" Seeing this thing, Gu Chen's heart couldn't help but ask for the reason:
"Who asked you to give me this thing? Did you make a mistake?"
"No." After hearing Gu Chen's words, the female clerk shook her head like a rattle and continued to explain:
"I remember how you looked like this. I was very impressed. You came to our store yesterday to buy breakfast."
"And the person who asked me to forward the letter to you also told the specific time you bought something yesterday, so that I can remember your appearance."
"So, he gave you this letter and asked you to hand it over to me?" Gu Chen asked again doubtfully.
But the other party nodded fiercely: "The other party gave me one hundred yuan and asked me to deliver this letter to you."
"Then how did he know that I will definitely come back to this place today?" Gu Chen also felt a little baffled. After all, he had many choices for buying breakfast.
But the breakfast shop clerk quickly explained: "I asked him the same thing at the time, but the other person said that your breakfast shop has the best taste in this area, so he concluded that you will definitely come here to buy my breakfast again today."
"So, let me hand over this thing to you. At first, I was skeptical. I felt that the other party's way of handing over the thing was very special, and he seemed to be very confident in his actions."
"It seems that I am certain that you will definitely come. It feels really amazing."
"Okay, thank you." Hearing what the female clerk said, Gu Chen started to murmur in his heart while holding the letter in his hand.
So he quickly faced the waiter and started ordering food for everyone.
While the clerk was busy, Gu Chen opened the letter and discovered that it was a message from the other party.
The content is not much and the text is very small. The general meaning is that he did not go to the top of Hongshan Mountain last night, and he also knew that there were police everywhere below the top of Hongshan Mountain.
Gu Chen understood from the other party's confident writing style that the other party seemed to know the situation at the scene very well.
And since he reminded Gu Chen to go to the top of Hongshan Mountain for an appointment yesterday, the other party has never thought about meeting Gu Chen.
It was just a test of Gu Chen's sincerity, and the other party also expected that Gu Chen would come to this store today, so he made arrangements in advance and gave Gu Chen a "surprise".
In the letter, the other party sent the next invitation location.
Looking at the various nonsensical requests in the letter, Gu Chen even suspected that the other party had mental problems.
"Sir, your breakfast." Just when Gu Chen was hesitating, the clerk had already packed all the things Gu Chen wanted.
A big bag full and handed directly to Gu Chen.
"Thanks."
After scanning the QR code to pay, Gu Chen turned around to leave, but was stopped by the clerk: "Sir, what's in the letter?"
"How old is this? The other party is still sending letters. Can't we just add WeChat?"
"Oh, it's nothing." Seeing that the clerk was just curious, Gu Chen didn't stay here too long.
Still walking the same road as yesterday, I came directly to the hospital ward.
At this moment, everyone is also waiting for Gu Chen's breakfast.
Seeing that Gu Chen was already carrying a bag full of breakfast, everyone immediately gathered around and divided the breakfast on the spot.
Seeing that Gu Chen was holding a mysterious envelope in his hand, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ask while eating the meat buns:
"Junior Brother Gu, where did you get this envelope?"
"Envelope?" As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Zhang Li, who was lying on the hospital bed, was also attracted by the envelope in Gu Chen's hand. Her eyes lit up, as if she had been stimulated? She quickly pointed to the envelope and said:
"Yes, that's the envelope."
"What envelope?" Officer Wang heard this and looked at Zhang Li in confusion.
But Zhang Li's eyes always stayed on Gu Chen's envelope.
Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, Zhang Li, who originally spoke fluently, suddenly began to stutter:
"That envelope... that envelope looks exactly like the one I received at that time."
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Zhang Li, and at this time, Gu Chen quickly asked Zhang Li:
"You mean, the person who gave you the envelope also used this style of envelope, right?"
"Yes." Although her body was trembling, Zhang Li reluctantly nodded:
"I remember that the envelope I received at that time looked like this, and then the letter mentioned the location of the buried iron box, and it was this person who sent it to me."
"No way?" Feeling that the situation seemed to be getting more and more chaotic, Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen in disbelief and quickly asked:
"Gu Chen, you went out to buy breakfast early in the morning. Did you meet that person from yesterday?"
