A large group of heavily armed policemen walked slowly along the river. After crossing the river, they immediately greeted Gu Chen.
"Gu Chen, we are here."
Seeing that the visitors were Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, and many colleagues from the criminal investigation team, Gu Chen also stood up and said slowly: "The situation this time is a bit complicated."
"I have already sent you the specific notification, and you must be prepared."
"It's a joke, that's because you are careless. Now that we are fully armed and there are so many people, how can we not deal with this guy?"
"What kind of cold weapon master can kill a gun quickly? Times have changed." Huang Zunlong is also full of confidence.
Officer Wang on the side saw this and immediately reminded him: "Don't be careless, this guy is really not easy to deal with."
"We operated at night last night, and our vision was severely affected. Another factor is that the other party understands the terrain better than we do."
"We know." Seeing Officer Wang say this, Ding Liang said again: "So this time, we have enough personnel. If the other party is still in the mountains, then we are confident that we can catch him."
"It's good to have this confidence." He breathed a heavy sigh of relief and Officer Wang added: "From now on, everyone will become several search teams. After entering the mountain, all actions will be under our command."
"No problem, I'll do whatever you say." Huang Zunlong said at the side.
Afterwards, everyone began to communicate at the scene, and Gu Chen also roughly explained the situation inside to everyone and told everyone what they needed to pay attention to.
As He Wenjun was too frightened, Gu Chen allowed him not to go.
So after everyone prepared for a while, they followed Gu Chen's team into the mountain again.
On the way, Gu Chen asked Huang Zunlong: "Isn't forensic doctor Gao Chuanfeng here?"
"It's probably still on the way." Huang Zunlong said.
"What's the situation in that village now? Does anyone know about the problems in the mountains?" Gu Chen asked again.
Huang Zunlong shook his head: "Before we came in, we also asked the villagers, but the villagers didn't know what was going on inside."
"Especially the corpse you mentioned, the villagers don't know much about it, and they have also explained that there are no missing persons in the village. It is probably an outsider who went into the mountains privately and got lost in there and couldn't get out."
"In the end, there was a lack of water and food, and I starved to death inside. This is probably what happened."
"That's not right." Gu Chen shook his head and couldn't help but said: "The place we went to has traces of excavating steps, which are very obvious. Someone must have worked here before."
"And that village is guarding the exit of the mountain. It's impossible for them not to know about the people coming in and out."
"I don't quite believe it if you don't know the body clearly."
"Gu Chen, you mean, maybe the people in the village have secrets?" Ding Liang asked curiously after hearing this.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "Yes, I've looked in the village and there are no young people, they are all old people."
"Some people may want to return to their roots because of their old age and want to spend their remaining years in their old homes. This is understandable."
"But some old people don't look like villagers."
"Not like the people in the village? How did you judge?" Ding Liang heard this and asked curiously.
Gu Chen quickly explained: "The accent is wrong. These people's accents are obviously not local."
"The few villagers who came in to carry the bodies and the wounded were actually not locals at all."
"Have you discovered all this?" Huang Zunlong's eyes lit up, and he was also a little curious.
Gu Chen said slowly: "I want to do an investigation when I go back to see what's going on?"
After the words fell, Gu Chen immediately reminded everyone to keep up with him.
Afterwards, Gu Chen led a group of heavily armed policemen and began walking through the woods to the top of the canyon.
Then he led everyone down the canyon and towards the wild road.
But this time, Gu Chen had enough police force, so he could make reasonable arrangements.
Gu Chen arranged a group of people to guard the entrance and exit of the canyon on the wild road.
If you discover the whereabouts of Zhuang Tianhe, Zhuang Hu and others, you can report them immediately.
And this time, everyone has communication equipment to ensure normal communication in the wilderness.
When they came to the pile of rubble, everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them. They had never seen such terrain before.
Officer Wang and his personnel quickly found the bones according to the marked route, put the bones in a body bag, and brought them out.
Gu Chen, along with Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha, Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong, and other police officers, began to pass through the rubble and quickly advanced towards the depth of the canyon.
Because the terrain was shrouded in darkness last night, no one could see the whole thing clearly, but in broad daylight, the view was unobstructed.
Gu Chen asked a team of people to guard the intersection leading to the mountainside, while he took the remaining people straight to another pile of rocks last night.
When he arrived at the scene, Gu Chen found that there were still many traces of the fight last night, and Gu Chen started to pursue the man in black according to the direction in which the man in black escaped last night.
Due to his good visibility during the day and Gu Chen's ability to clearly track the opponent's footprints, he quickly passed through the piles of rocks and arrived at an open area.
When he saw the open scene in front of him, Gu Chen froze on the spot again, as if he felt that the terrain here was very strange.
"Junior Brother Gu, I feel that the rocks here are extremely weathered." Lu Weiwei walked to Gu Chen and reminded her.
Gu Chen also nodded silently: "There are often strong winds here, and the stones in the rubble have also been weathered."
"Especially last night, you could hear the wind blowing on the rocks from a distance, making sounds like ghosts crying and wolves howling."
"Really or not? Wouldn't it be scary to death at night?" Upon hearing this, Huang Zunlong also felt that there was something strange here.
After all, the stones in this jumble of stones look very informal, and the shape of each stone is particularly abstract.
Everyone took their weapons and started searching on the spot.
Gu Chen stood in the center area, looked around, climbed to a higher rock, and began to climb up and look far.
Since the footprints here were hard to identify, Gu Chen could only make a judgment based on the situation at the scene.
"The man in black escaped from here last night, and the man in black is very familiar with the terrain in this area, so he either comes here often, or he has a great connection with the village."
Thinking in his mind, Gu Chen also frowned and continued thinking:
"The village itself is very weird, and Zhuang Hu's cabin is also quite luxurious."
"Although he bought a small wooden house from a villager and renovated it, according to He Wenjun, Zhuang Hu often brings customers here."
"Moreover, Zhuang Hu has also entered this forest park many times. Can we judge whether it is fake to take customers to the forest for hiking, and whether it is true to engage in secret activities here?"
"Then if Zhuang Hu has been active in this area for a long time, can I think that the cabin is actually a cover-up?"
"Otherwise, what reason does Zhuang Hu have to stay here for a while?"
"If there wasn't that cabin, Zhuang Hu would have to bring his own tent. It may seem inconvenient, but in fact he just wanted to use the cabin as a cover to conceal his true purpose of going into the mountain."
After a pause, Gu Chen continued to think: "But if Zhuang Hu often goes into the mountains, then as his assistant, wouldn't He Wenjun follow him?"
"Especially because He Wenjun himself explained that he often followed Zhuang Hu and his clients into the mountains, which means that He Wenjun should have some understanding of Zhuang Hu's itinerary and the purpose of going into the mountains."
"But last night, his frightened look didn't look like he was pretending. It could be seen that it was an instinctive reaction."
"But why? Could it be that Zhuang Hu left He Wenjun a secret and didn't tell him some things?"
Just as she was thinking about it, Yuan Shasha ran over: "Senior Brother Gu, there are some animal bones over there."
"Animal bones? What are they?" When Gu Chen heard this, he frowned.
"It looks like a hare." Yuan Shasha said.
"Go and have a look." Gu Chen was also very curious, so he quickly walked towards the direction indicated by Yuan Shasha.
When everyone saw this, they all followed him.
When they arrived at the scene, everyone surrounded the hare's body. Everyone looked at each other and seemed very curious.
Gu Chen squatted down and looked at the hare skin that had been cut open by the knife, and his heart skipped a beat.
Obviously, someone captured the hare, cleaned it directly outdoors, and then ate the hare meat.
Moreover, Gu Chen took a look at the hare's fur and found that it was very smooth. He could tell that the other party had some obsessive-compulsive disorder.
"Junior Brother Gu, there are people trying to survive in the wilderness here." Lu Weiwei also said jokingly.
"Maybe." Gu Chen stood up, looked around, and asked, "Have you found any other clues?"
When everyone heard this, they also shook their heads.
Gu Chen added: "There may be a hunter here, and that hunter may be the man in black who attacked us last night."
"Gu Bureau, is that person really that powerful? Even you can't resist him?" A young police officer was also very curious.
Lu Weiwei became a little unhappy when she heard this, and quickly retorted: "It's not that I can't resist, it's that the weapons in my hands are not equal."
"That guy is wearing a set of long steel claws in his hands, and he has mastered those things in his hands."
"Comparing a mechanical baton with that thing would be a huge disadvantage, and it's at night, and the opponent is very familiar with the terrain, so it's definitely a disadvantage."
"That's right." Seeing Lu Weiwei's ugly face, the young police officer couldn't help but realize that what he said was wrong, so he quickly agreed.
Gu Chen waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "It's no exaggeration to say that the man in black last night did have two brushes."
"I have a mechanical baton in my hand, and Brother Wang has a domestic crack gun in his hand, but last night we were two against one and had no chance of winning."
"It can also be said that the other party took advantage of their understanding of the terrain, but their strength is also there, and we cannot avoid it."
"Especially, that guy's moves were very vicious and deadly. He was trying to tear the National People's Congress into pieces."
At this point, when he recalled the fighting scene last night, Gu Chen also took a breath and said:
"It's no exaggeration to say that I almost died here last night."
"This guy is so hateful, we must catch him." Ding Liang said angrily when he heard this.
Huang Zunlong also quickly agreed: "Yes, he can be so arrogant and kill people without blinking an eye. This guy is definitely not a kind person. He must be caught."
Looking around, Huang Zunlong said again: "Now that there are many of us, we are not afraid of him being a martial arts master, don't you think so?"
"yes!"
Encouraged by Huang Zunlong, everyone instantly became energetic.
Gu Chen knew that morale needed to be improved now, and Huang Zunlong just played the role of the atmosphere team.
Gu Chen was very pleased with this good brother and said slowly: "Everyone is now divided into several groups and dispersed around to search. Be careful."
"When encountering a situation, do not deal with it alone, but immediately notify support. Do you understand this?"
"clear!"
As soon as Gu Chen said this, everyone immediately agreed in unison.
Gu Chen waved his hand, and everyone started searching in groups.
Gu Chen stood there and looked back in the direction of the canyon.
Last night in the cave, Gu Chen felt a little strange. You know, in this kind of terrain, there are big holes connected with small holes.
If you don't know the terrain here very well, it's very easy to get lost after entering.
Moreover, Gu Chen suspected that Zhuang Tianhe and Zhuang Hu might still be in the cave, but they passed through some small caves and entered another location.
Since Gu Chen didn't have a detailed map of the cave, he didn't dare to search rashly.
The main problem now is to find the man with glasses. After all, his two companions are already dead and the other seriously injured.
And his current whereabouts are unknown. If he meets the man in black, he will most likely die here. This is what Gu Chen is most worried about.
The search continued, and Gu Chen kept standing there waiting for news.
Not long after, a report from one of the groups came over the intercom:
"Gu Bureau, we found a cave entrance here. It looks very deep."
"Where is it?" Gu Chen asked, pressing the call button on the walkie-talkie.
"It's on the right side, right there. Isn't there a top over there? We found a cave covered by weeds."
"Wait a minute, you mean covered by weeds?" Gu Chen quickly pressed the call button and asked.
"Yes, it is a hole that was artificially covered with weeds. Moreover, this hole seems to be quite complicated, not that simple."
"We doubt that this cave entrance will extend all the way to the canyon?"
As soon as the voice on the intercom ended, Gu Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
If this cave entrance is connected to the canyon, then it must be a branch of the cave in the canyon.
And it is very likely that the man in black, after escaping from the rocks, got into the cave from here, and then fled into the canyon.
This will form a perfect closed loop.
Everyone is searching outside, the other party may have entered the canyon.
