Gu Chen shined a strong flashlight on it and discovered that there was a bloody piece of clothing in the weeds.
Gu Chen immediately became alert and looked back at the place where the body was found. Suddenly, he felt an ominous premonition.
"Why are there clothes here? Could it be said that they were abandoned by the murderer? Did he abandon them here intentionally or accidentally?"
Seeing this scene, Gu Chen began to question his previous suspicions.
The reason was that the deceased's head was smashed to pieces, but judging from his clothing, he must be the driver who picked up Zhang He.
But because the head was smashed to pieces, it was difficult to judge. However, another bloody piece of clothing was found by the river far away from the crime scene.
This made Gu Chen start to think about what the other party's purpose was.
"Junior Brother Gu, this piece of clothing cannot be accidentally abandoned by the murderer, because the murderer is very smart and knows how to interrupt our police's tracking of clues by crossing the river by boat."
"Why would you leave a bloody piece of clothing by such a conspicuous place by the river?"
"That means the murderer stayed here on purpose?" Officer Wang asked.
Yuan Shasha on the side also quickly said: "I don't think so. If the murderer is not the same person, then this bloody clothes may have been left by another one of them."
After a pause, Yuan Shasha added: "I blindly guessed that Zhang He did it. After all, there are many doubts about him, and he left without saying goodbye this time."
"It makes sense." After hearing what Yuan Shasha said, Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "There is indeed a big problem with Zhang He leaving without saying goodbye."
"In my opinion, he was probably more threatened by this murderer and had no choice but to do it."
"And if he wanted to leave us a clue, he would have to do it secretly. Therefore, it is very likely that Zhang He left this bloody clothes on purpose. He may want to tell us some secret."
Turning his head to look in the direction of the corpse, before Gu Chen could continue to speak, Lu Weiwei on the side quickly said:
"Junior Brother Gu, is this the case? Isn't the deceased Zhong Haiqiang who drove Zhang He here?"
"You and I want to go together." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but say:
"Why was the deceased's head smashed into a bloody mess? Even if the murderer wanted to kill him, he wouldn't have to go to such trouble."
"So it's very possible that he didn't want us to know the true identity of the deceased, so he was so vicious."
After a pause, Gu Chen added: "And this person may be the driver who disappeared before."
"I think so too." Seeing Gu Chen express his opinion, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but said:
"But why? Why does the other party still show off such an obvious loophole here?"
"Don't he know that our police can solve this problem through DNA comparison?"
"Let's not talk about it for now." Gu Chen walked back and forth twice and said, "Take photos of this place to collect evidence, give the evidence to Gao Chuanfeng, and let Gao Chuanfeng handle it."
"In addition, we will do our best to find Zhang He's whereabouts. If Zhang He does not want to go with the murderer, then there is a high probability that he is being coerced by the murderer."
"He wants to leave, or he wants to give us some clues."
"But Zhang He is also a trainer. We saw him in actual combat that night." Lu Weiwei reminded from the side.
Gu Chen nodded silently and added: "It's true that he is a member of the Lian family, but the person holding him hostage may be Zhang Li."
"And Zhang Li is a person who was trained by Grandpa Zhang He. His methods are beyond what Zhang He can handle."
"It's like two people who are not on the same level staying together. No matter how talented you are, you are just mediocre in front of others."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "Collect the evidence and continue searching."
"Yes." When everyone heard what Gu Chen said, they all agreed.
In this way, everyone searched by the river all night until the sun rose, but no clues were found.
The corpse whose head was smashed out of brains was also brought to the Municipal Bureau's Technical Section for examination by Gao Chuanfeng.
…
…
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Gu Chen came behind He Junchao and saw that He Junchao was still dozing off, so he patted He Junchao on the shoulder and woke him up:
"Senior Brother He, Senior Brother He."
"Huh?" He Junchao muttered, turned to look at Gu Chen, and said weakly: "What time is it?"
"8 o'clock in the morning." Gu Chen said.
"Oh my god." He Junchao also rubbed his eyes and said listlessly, "I feel like I worked overtime too late last night and didn't even get much sleep."
"How was the investigation?" Gu Chen asked directly about the results.
He Junchao sighed and said: "There is no trace of Zhang He yet. It feels like these people escaped from the other side of the river. That should be a large surveillance blind spot. It is possible for them to go anywhere."
Taking a deep breath, He Junchao added: "What I am most worried about now is that after Zhang He was killed by the murderer, he was abandoned in a deserted place."
"The worst result is that after Zhang He was killed, he was buried by the murderer. Therefore, it may be very difficult to find clues."
"Then have you found out which areas they might be hiding in?" Gu Chen asked again.
"Yes." He Junchao yawned and immediately began to investigate.
Not long after, He Junchao marked the area he had completed with a green pattern:
"Look, the green area is the result of my current investigation. It is very likely that they are operating in this area."
"Because there is a general airport nearby, there are not many tall buildings here and there is no overdevelopment."
"Many areas are crowded there, and the weeds grow taller than people."
"There are good people hiding here, but if you want to find people from this area, it's no different than looking for a needle in a haystack."
"No matter how hard it is, we have to find him." Listening to He Junchao's report, Gu Chen knew that finding someone this time would be very difficult.
So Gu Chen continued to remind: "Let the police team prepare more reconnaissance drones. I want to use drones to quickly investigate this entire area."
"No problem, I'll make arrangements for you right away." Seeing what Gu Chen said, He Junchao immediately started contacting the relevant police officers.
Not long after, the police officers responsible for controlling the drones arrived at the scene one after another carrying boxes.
"Gu Chen, everyone is here." Officer Wang walked up to Gu Chen and introduced to Gu Chen: "We have selected five people in total and brought six drones."
"Okay, let's go now." Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer.
Especially after discovering the body and the bloody clothes yesterday, Gu Chen felt more and more that Zhang He was now in a very dangerous situation.
If the murderer can use such cruel means to smash that person's head, then needless to say, he will not be merciful to Zhang He.
But Zhang He's current whereabouts are unknown. Although no body has been found, it can be believed that he is still alive for the time being.
But who would have thought that if the murderer lost control of his emotions, he would kill Zhang He?
But if this is the case, then Zhang He's current situation can be described as a narrow escape from death.
Only by finding Zhang He can all mysteries be solved.
"Let's go." After giving the order, Gu Chen got into his police car and started driving to the location of last night's incident.
The other drone operators followed behind in their cars.
…
…
When everyone arrived at the location where the murder occurred last night, the place was still cordoned off, and several police officers stayed at the scene.
Seeing that Gu Chen had already arrived with everyone, a second-level police superintendent immediately came over and reported to Gu Chen:
"Guardian, everything is normal and no suspicious persons were found."
"Thank you for your hard work." After Gu Chen replied, he also reminded the drone pilots behind him who got off the car:
"Take out all the guys, let the drones fly, line them up for me, and conduct a carpet search."
"Understood." Upon hearing this, everyone placed the boxes on the ground in unison, and immediately started debugging.
When the drones in everyone's hands made a "buzzing" sound, Gu Chen also gave an order.
The drones were like wild horses that escaped the reins, instantly starting to fly towards the distance.
Not long after, Gu Chen began to see the drone's carpet inspection on the control screen.
As the drones lined up in a row and began to search continuously, Lu Weiwei also directed the drone operator to adjust the specific position at any time.
As time passed, many drones began to return home due to insufficient power.
Fortunately, drone pilots each carry at least three spare batteries.
Therefore, in the sky above this wasteland, drones will return from time to time to replace batteries.
In this way, the batteries were replaced one after another, but no trace of the suspicious person was seen.
Many police officers began to complain to Gu Chen: "Gu Bureau, there is no such person as you are looking for."
"Moreover, the drone investigation has been going on for a long time, going back and forth, and everyone has their own trajectory."
"But now it seems that no useful information has been found."
"It's okay, keep flying." Gu Chen was also constantly observing the screen conditions of the pilots.
Seeing this, everyone could only follow Gu Chen's advice and continue to investigate in the air.
"Buzz buzz..."
As the drones were changing batteries back and forth, they were constantly taking off and landing, and the surroundings were noisy and lively.
Officer Wang crossed his arms and walked back and forth.
Although drones can help solve many blind spots in searching, it seems that they haven't even seen the opponent's shadow.
Officer Wang started to complain a little, and also complained: "This He Junchao, could it be that the investigation area is wrong?"
"He said these areas are the most likely places where the murderer is hiding. But after investigating for so long, he has already flown to all the places where he should fly. Is it possible that this person can dig a hole in the ground and escape?"
"Cave?" Hearing Officer Wang say this, Gu Chen's eyes lit up and he continued:
"What Senior Brother Wang said may make sense. You can continue to investigate and see if there is any terrain similar to a cave in this area?"
"I seem to have just flown over an area, and I seem to have seen a cave-like terrain over there."
Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, a drone pilot reported.
"Do you remember that location?" Gu Chen asked quickly.
"Remember, it's in that area." The drone pilot quickly pointed to an area in the distance.
"Fly again, slower this time, continue to investigate." Gu Chen reminded.
"Understood." The drone pilot nodded silently, then continued to control the drone, changed the position of the investigation, and began to return to the position he had flown before.
Perhaps because the specific location was unclear, the drone flew over that area repeatedly for several minutes before finding the area.
The drone pilot quickly reported: "We found it. This area is somewhat similar to the Danxia landform, and the terrain is also very strange."
"So, it is very likely that there will be caves here, and the caves may be very large, and it is easy to hide several people."
"Fly the drone a little further." Gu Chen reminded him while looking at the screen of the controller.
"No problem." The drone pilot continued to descend and began to zoom in closer.
Gu Chen asked again: "Are you talking about this cave?"
"Yes." Seeing Gu Chen pointing out the location, the operator quickly agreed: "When I flew here before, I felt that there were traces of a cave here."
"But I wanted to continue investigating other areas, so I skipped this location."
"Don't skip it and bring the end closer." Gu Chen reminded again.
The operator can only obey and follow instructions.
At this moment, everyone gathered around and discovered that this area was indeed a Danxia landform.
Even the structure of the rock is all kinds of strange and strange. It looks like a maze. Once people walk in, it may be difficult to distinguish the direction.
"Go and take a look at this place now." Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer and quickly reminded him.
Everyone immediately got on the bus and started heading to the target area according to the coordinates given by the operator.
This area is quite far from the scene of the incident, but driving is just a step on the accelerator.
When Gu Chen parked the car at the intersection outside the mountain, he was also shocked by these sights and complained:
"It's strange. How come this area has such strange shapes? There may be huge caves hidden among the rocks."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen sighed briefly and immediately started walking towards the area.
"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei quickly stopped him and reminded him, "You must be careful in this place."
"Because the terrain structure is so complex, all kinds of rock structures are all kinds of strange."
"I think there is a high possibility that they are hiding in this area. However, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. If we enter rashly."
"Once you get lost here, it's likely to be like walking through a maze and you won't be able to get out."
"What's more, what if the other party launches a sneak attack in the dark? There must be a drone above our heads to alert us in the air."
"Okay." After listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Gu Chen felt it was very reasonable and immediately agreed: "Send me a drone and it will hover above our heads. It will go wherever we go."
