"Wow!" Everyone said in unison when they saw the scene in front of them, seeming to be shocked by the decoration of the house.
Although this cabin looks unremarkable from the outside, it seems to be just an ordinary wooden house.
But the level of luxurious decoration inside is simply staggering.
"This...you told me this is a cabin? Isn't the level of luxury too exaggerated? When I shined the flashlight on it just now, I didn't even feel it was that exaggerated."
"But now when the light shines on it, I suddenly have the illusion that this is not outdoors."
Officer Wang was also shocked by the level of luxury inside.
In comparison, He Wenjun was calm to Xu Du and said slowly: "A place to entertain customers should not be too shabby. In fact, our boss is quite particular about it."
"Don't worry about this for now. Let's take a look first. Is there anything in here that your boss carries with him?" Gu Chen also reminded him.
When He Wenjun heard this, he immediately became serious.
So everyone started to search the house.
But after going around, He Wenjun shook his head: "I didn't see it."
"No." Gu Chen shook his head and said slowly: "Your boss has been here."
"How do you say that?" He Wenjun frowned when he heard this. He didn't seem to know how Gu Chen judged it.
Gu Chen squatted down and pointed out a corner from the carpet.
"What is this?" Lu Weiwei took a look and quickly squatted down to check it carefully.
But Lu Weiwei soon discovered that there were some traces of mud on a corner of the blanket.
Moreover, the traces seemed to be very new. Lu Weiwei was immediately overjoyed and said quickly: "Yes, the traces are very new. This mud mark is still very new, which means that I have just been here not long ago."
"Because the weather was relatively humid, the thin mud did not dry out quickly."
"And this mud should have been brought here on someone's trousers."
"That means Zhuang Hu has been to the cabin before?" When Yuan Shasha heard this, she also felt a little strange.
Gu Chen slowly said: "Actually, there are many such traces in the room, such as here and here."
Gu Chen suddenly found several more subtle clues.
Because it is so tiny, it is difficult to see clearly with the naked eye.
He Wenjun was also filled with admiration at this moment. He gave Gu Chen a thumbs up and said, "Comrade policeman, you have really good eyesight."
"Only your boss has the key here, which only means that your boss has been here." Gu Chen said.
"Maybe, after all, the key is usually in the boss's hands." He Wenjun admitted at this moment.
"Where is that person? Did he go to the forest?" Lu Weiwei said.
Gu Chen's mind suddenly flashed and his eyes lit up, as if all the previous clues suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Could it be that the location marked on that old sheepskin map is actually here?"
Gu Chen thought to himself, and in his mind, he quickly recalled the scene of himself looking at an old sheepskin map.
On the sheepskin map, there is indeed a river whose direction is similar to the river I passed when I went up the mountain today.
Moreover, Gu Chen clearly remembered that everyone had crossed countless small bridges, and everyone had also gone through 8 turns in this river.
And when I look at the distribution of lines on the map, it is indeed very similar to the river I walked through.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen was a little overjoyed.
After all, I have always been confused about where the old sheepskin map is marked?
But now when I take a trip to Nanshan Forest Park, it seems that all the answers can be solved.
Fortunately, Gu Chen has a master-level memory. He had seen the scene on the map and experienced it vividly.
Soon, Gu Chen clearly remembered that walking further into the forest, he would pass a canyon, and that was the entrance to the road section marked in detail on the map.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhuang Hu must have brought Zhuang Tianhe into the hinterland of the forest."
"But now it's getting dark..."
"We have to keep looking." Before He Wenjun finished speaking, Gu Chen immediately interrupted.
He Wenjun also hesitated and said slowly: "But now, it is dark. The dark forest is full of many unknown risks. It is very dangerous to walk at night."
"But, what if Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe are inside? Do we still have to wait? What will be the consequences if there is a conflict between the two of them? Have you ever thought about it?" Gu Chen also replied sternly.
He Wenjun was immediately speechless. After thinking for a few seconds, he said helplessly:
"Okay, all actions are up to you, but I want to remind you that the road here is not easy to walk at night. If it were me, I would advise you to go there at dawn."
After a pause, He Wenjun added: "Of course, if you insist on going, I can accompany you."
"There is no other way." Seeing that He Wenjun was in a mood, Gu Chen also explained:
"We are racing against time now. If we don't act at this time, we may lose the clue."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen added: "What we have to do now is to take action, catch up with Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe, and find them as soon as possible."
"Then what are you waiting for?" Officer Wang seemed to be impatient, and said slowly: "There are enough equipments, but I didn't bring a tent, only an outdoor raincoat."
"That's enough." Gu Chen interrupted Officer Wang and said:
"I checked the raincoat. This kind of raincoat can be used as a tent if you open the buttons."
"Use a rope to pull out a line and put the raincoat on it. It can be used as a tent to protect you from the wind and rain."
"Okay then." Seeing that Gu Chen had already checked the equipment, Officer Wang felt that he had nothing to say.
Everyone rested for a while at the door of the house, and then locked the door of the cabin again.
At this moment, the three men setting up tents outside were also staring at Gu Chen and the others.
Seeing Gu Chen and others walking into the mountains, the man wearing glasses quickly reminded him:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hey, are you going to the mountains?"
"Yes." Gu Chen looked back at him and nodded silently.
"Then I advise you to go tomorrow. It's already dark now. It's more dangerous to go to the mountains after dark."
"There is no other way. We went to the mountains to find people." Yuan Shasha said.
"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? A missing traveler?" asked the man with glasses.
Yuan Shasha nodded silently: "Absolutely."
"Wait a moment." Seeing what Yuan Shasha said, the man with glasses hurriedly walked to the middle of the crowd, looked at Gu Chen and the others up and down, and said:
"Are you also a traveler?"
"Yes." Officer Wang nodded silently and said, "We are also traveling friends."
"Could it be that you are looking for companions? Aren't you with any companions?"
"That's right." Seeing that the man with glasses asked a lot of questions, Officer Wang quickly explained: "There are two travel companions, and they may be in the mountains at the moment."
"We must find them now, otherwise they will be in danger if they stay in the mountains."
"Let's do it, then." Seeing this, the man with glasses also said quickly:
"How about you take us with you and we can go find someone with you?"
Seeing that no one had responded, the man with glasses added, "There is strength in numbers. We have all the equipment and everything."
"Besides, it's not safe to walk at night. We are all veteran donkeys and have some experience in walking outdoors at night."
"We are here to take care of you, and we have many experiences of rescuing missing travel companions. I believe we can help you?"
"This...how embarrassing is this?" Hearing what the man with glasses said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt, wasn't this a divine assist?
The bespectacled man didn't care whether Gu Chen or the others responded or not, and immediately began to greet the two companions behind him, calling them to him.
Later, he communicated with the two of them in Cantonese, probably planning to go into the mountains at night and follow this group of people to find the missing travel companion.
The other two outdoor travelers seemed to be very enthusiastic, and upon hearing this, they immediately agreed.
After the communication was over, the man with glasses also looked at Gu Chen and said with a smile: "We have communicated well. We are going to go into the mountains with you. Is that okay?"
"Thank you very much." Seeing a senior travel friend taking the initiative to help, Gu Chen couldn't refuse.
Moreover, there are indeed many unstable factors when going into the mountains at night.
And it is true that there is strength in numbers. If we can get the help of these senior travel friends, we can indeed increase the probability of finding Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe.
Coupled with the details of the sheepskin map Gu Chen had memorized in his head, Gu Chen felt that he really needed more helpers.
So Gu Chen readily agreed.
So everyone waited for a while, and after the three travel friends packed up their equipment outside, they came to everyone lightly packed.
The other equipment was left in the tent together.
"Let's go." The man with glasses looked very excited, as if it was a very interesting thing to help find the missing travel companion.
Officer Wang was quite happy to suddenly add three senior travel companions.
So we all played walking in the mountains together.
Since it was the first time for these three senior travelers to come here, they were smarter and downloaded the offline map early.
Moreover, there are travelers who have been here before, so these people are relatively confident.
The man with glasses also walked up to Gu Chen and reminded him, "Do you have any traces of this place?"
"No." Gu Chen shook his head.
"Then have you been here?" the man with glasses asked again.
Gu Chen continued to shake his head: "No."
"Then how can we do it? None of you have been here, and you don't have the track here yet. It's still late at night, so it's very dangerous."
"We know the danger, but I know how to take the road here." Gu Chen also said slowly.
Seeing Gu Chen's confident look, the bespectacled man was also dubious. Then he opened his offline map and started walking according to the trajectory.
But in fact, there is only one way into the mountain.
Gu Chen hesitated and looked at the route map in the sheepskin map, so he had a relatively clear idea of the route here.
Although the three senior travel friends showed enough enthusiasm and professionalism, these things were nothing in front of their absolutely powerful brains.
When he reached a fork in the road, Gu Chen walked directly to the right.
But when the man with glasses saw this, he quickly stopped Gu Chen and said, "Oh, oh, oh, wait a moment."
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen turned to look at the man with glasses.
The man with glasses also waved his hand: "No, no, you should go to the left, the trajectory is left."
"Sir, we are not here to hike up the mountain. We are here to find people. That road is not where we are going now."
After the words fell, Gu Chen continued: "If we go to the right now, it will be the correct route into the hinterland of the forest, not the left path."
"Huh?" It felt like Gu Chen had never been here before, but he was very familiar with the terrain here.
The man with glasses was a little confused for a moment, and asked out of curiosity: "How do you know?"
"I heard it from a local." Gu Chen didn't explain too much, but walked directly to the right.
When Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and He Wenjun saw this, they all followed Gu Chen.
Seeing this, the three senior travel friends could only bite the bullet and continue to keep up with everyone.
He Wenjun took three steps and turned into two steps. He also quickened his pace and walked to Gu Chen's side and asked:
"How do you know this is the hinterland of the forest? To be honest with you, this is true."
"As I said, a local told me about it before, so I remember that even though I have never been here, I look at the route here and it seems pretty similar."
Gu Chen said it very easily, but it made He Wenjun a little confused, and he didn't know whether what Gu Chen said was true.
But He Wenjun has indeed been to the route here many times, so he knows the route here quite well.
Gu Chen had a very good understanding of the route and terrain here from the very beginning. It seemed impossible without the guidance of locals.
So he continued to follow Gu Chen.
Everyone wore headlamps and kept a certain distance.
In order not to reveal that he knew about the sheepskin map, Gu Chen deliberately pretended that he didn't remember the route at one of the forks and asked He Wenjun to lead the way.
All you have to do is control the route and not go astray.
Lu Weiwei walked to Gu Chen and asked Gu Chen in a low voice: "Junior Brother Gu, how come you know so much about the route here? Has a local really told you?"
Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him and whispered: "Sheepskin map."
"Sheepskin map? Could it be that?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she immediately understood and stopped asking any more questions.
Obviously, the topography of the sheepskin map Gu Chen mentioned was drawn here. It is no wonder that Gu Chen is so familiar with the previous route into the hinterland of the forest.
From this point of view, that old sheepskin map is really the map of this place.
When Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha saw this, they quickly followed Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.
"What are you talking about?" Officer Wang also asked in a low voice.
So Lu Weiwei quietly told Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha about the sheepskin map.
After hearing this, several people couldn't help but look at Gu Chen.
