"It seems that the other party has been operating in this area for a long time and knows the terrain here very well." Gu Chen realized at this moment that it was not easy to find the man in black in a place like this.
But in the canyon, every move of the man in black costs his own life. Without deep hatred, it would be impossible to do this.
Gu Chen felt that the other party might have some extreme thoughts, or he might not want others to know his situation.
And this canyon, in Gu Chen's opinion, is a good place to hide secrets.
Most people don't come here, and even among the villagers, the young people have gone out, and the ones who stay are the middle-aged and elderly people.
And these people would never run into the mountains if nothing happened, especially deep in the mountains.
These people usually choose to spend their remaining years in the village.
But the current outdoor craze seems to have broken all this.
Suddenly some wealthy people came to the originally peaceful village. They began to build cabins and camps here, and slowly turned it into an outdoor holy land.
Gu Chen had actually heard about the commercialization of this area for a long time. After all, the outdoor craze had only just begun in the past two years.
In an era when all major commercial routes are overcrowded, more outdoor people are beginning to pursue niche secret spots, and hiking spots with beautiful scenery will become more popular.
At this time, the small village will no longer be peaceful.
But this man in black has obviously been operating here for a long time, and the bones found in the pile of rocks all indicate that a murder has occurred here, but no one reported it.
In other words, the people here have never been to that place at all, but what have the men in black been doing in that hidden place?
In this way, Gu Chen thought of Zhuang Tianhe again and handed the old sheepskin map to him. He also specified that it should be handed over to him, and even explained his situation to the old man.
This is tantamount to trusting his own life. Being able to trust him with his life shows that Zhuang Tianhe is also in trouble.
But Gu Chen couldn't figure it out. Since Zhuang Tianhe had handed the sheepskin map to him, why didn't he go back and pick it up within the stipulated time?
In this case, wouldn't he report the crime directly to himself, and what would he do if he took Zhuang Hu into this desolate land?
Obviously, this place is full of contradictions. Coupled with the man in black who is highly skilled in martial arts, Gu Chen becomes more and more interested in this area.
"Junior Brother Gu, can you go in?" Lu Weiwei had already arrived at the entrance of the cave. She first shined a bright flashlight into the inside. After finding that there was no problem, she came to ask Gu Chen again.
Gu Chen looked at the equipment configuration of his men. Everyone was fully armed.
In this situation, no matter how strong the master is, he cannot cope with it.
Gu Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and said slowly: "Go in, but be careful, someone needs to guard the entrance of the cave."
"Then leave a small team." Lu Weiwei said.
After everyone discussed at the entrance of the cave, Gu Chen led a team of people to go in first to explore the situation.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha followed Gu Chen into the cave, accompanied by several heavily armed police officers.
In the face of sufficient martial ethics, all martial arts masters are in vain, so Gu Chen is even more confident.
This time, Gu Chen wanted to capture the man in black. He especially wanted to know the origin of the man in black.
"There is wind in this cave." A police officer also felt a breeze blowing while walking.
Gu Chen also nodded silently: "There are holes in this cave, big holes within small holes. No one knows how many similar places there are, so there must be more than one exit here. It's normal to have wind. Don't worry."
"Okay." After Gu Chen said this, everyone stopped talking.
Soon, countless bright beams of light illuminated the road ahead.
Gu Chen used his master-level observation skills to observe everything around him.
And every time everyone goes to a corner, they will paint marks on the rock wall.
Gu Chen also felt that the wind around him seemed to be getting stronger, so he immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop moving forward.
Everyone squatted down on the spot and began to alert the surroundings, and Gu Chen was also observing the situation ahead.
"Gu Bureau." An old police officer came to Gu Chen's side and reminded: "The front may be where we enter another passage. The terrain is very low. We may have to climb in."
"Don't worry yet." Gu Chen frowned and took a few steps forward. When he was sure that he really needed to crawl, Gu Chen began to check the marks on the ground.
Sure enough, some signs of friction were found on the ground.
This shows that someone passed by here, and this place must be the place where the man in black or others passed by.
Gu Chen could successfully find the whereabouts of the other party based on these traces.
"Everyone listen to my order and prepare to crawl over. Everyone is ready to fight."
"Yes." Under Gu Chen's order, everyone loaded their guns and began to tense up. No one would choose to slack off at this time.
Because slacking off means death, and the other party is a master.
"Gu Bureau, let me go first." Seeing that Gu Chen wanted to explore the way in person, an old police officer stopped Gu Chen and said.
"It's okay. The situation ahead is very clear. The other party wants to stage an ambush, and it's not easy to launch it in this place." Gu Chen said.
"But the front is more dangerous. Let me crawl over there with you to explore the way." The old policeman waved his police pistol and said.
Gu Chen nodded silently and agreed: "Okay, you come with me, and the others will follow."
"Yes." Everyone echoed in unison, and then Gu Chen and the old comrade began to crawl forward.
As the cave begins to become narrower, it will feel a little depressing when crawling.
But fortunately, with the illumination of a strong flashlight, it can make this place appear brighter.
He didn't know how long he had been crawling on the ground, but Gu Chen suddenly noticed that the front seemed to become more spacious.
When Gu Chen got through a small hole and came to a spacious area, he realized that he had arrived in a large cave.
The space inside instantly became much more spacious.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But at the same time, Gu Chen discovered that this spacious area seemed familiar.
Then the old comrade who climbed out of the small cave came to Gu Chen and asked out of curiosity: "Where is this?"
"We've been here before." Gu Chen shined a bright flashlight on the rock wall.
The old comrade immediately discovered that it was a marked arrow carved on the rock.
The old comrade quickly asked Gu Chen: "Did you make the mark?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said:
"We entered the cave halfway up the canyon and walked inside for a long time. We would mark the cave along the way."
After a pause, Gu Chen pointed to the mark on the rock wall and said, "This is what we made."
"That means we have arrived inside the canyon?" said the old comrade.
Gu Chen nodded silently.
Then the other police officers who climbed out of the small hole stood up one after another and began to guard the surroundings.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha also came to Gu Chen's side.
Yuan Shasha reminded: "Now that we have returned to the previous canyon cave, should we go in? Or go to the entrance of the cave?"
"Divide into two groups." Gu Chen paused, looked at Yuan Shasha and said, "Xiao Yuan, take a team of people out from here and wait at the entrance of the cave."
"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Yuan Shasha also nodded silently.
Then, Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei again and said, "Senior Sister Lu, you and I will take the remaining group of people and go to the cave to have a look."
"Okay." Lu Weiwei also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Then hurry up now."
After everyone briefly communicated here, they immediately separated.
Gu Chen shined a flashlight on the ground and said, "The traces extend into the cave. Because the man in black just came in from outside, he brought some new dust."
"It seems that the inside of this cave is his lair."
"Gu Bureau." I don't know how long I walked, but a young police officer suddenly reminded: "There is some blood here."
"Let me take a look." Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly walked over to the young police officer.
The young police officer pointed to a relatively narrow gap in the ground.
Gu Chen squinted his eyes and shined a flashlight on it, only to realize that there was a corpse lying inside.
And this corpse seems to be the Zhuang Hu that he has been looking for.
Gu Chen's eyes were stunned and he quickly said: "Give me a rope."
"Here." Upon hearing this, the young police officer immediately took off the first aid rope on his body.
Gu Chen took the lock position and began to lie down, carefully moving towards the body.
Since the gap in the rock wall was very small, but fortunately Gu Chen was in good shape, so he crawled to Zhuang Hu's side and carefully checked Zhuang Hu's condition before confirming that Zhuang Hu was dead.
"Junior Brother Gu, how are you?"
At this moment, Lu Weiwei, who was outside, asked nervously.
"It's Zhuang Hu, he's dead." Gu Chen said.
"Then get him out quickly." Lu Weiwei urged again.
"Wait a moment." Gu Chen took out the safety buckle and tapped it on the belt around Zhuang Hu's waist. Then he slowly moved his body backward and extended the rope.
When Gu Chen completely exited the gap, he tightened the rope with both hands and began to drag it outward.
Upon seeing this, other police officers also gathered around to assist Gu Chen.
Not long after, Zhuang Hu's body, covered with thick dust, was pulled out of the gap.
"Ahem, bah!"
Lu Weiwei fanned the dust in the air with her hands, coughed a few times, and everyone else also stepped back.
Gu Chen covered his mouth and nose and began to move Zhuang Hu's body to a spacious position.
At this time, Gu Chen discovered that Zhuang Hu's whole body was covered with scars, especially Zhuang Hu's chest, which had been disemboweled and the wounds were so horrific that it made people feel sick.
At this moment, everyone began to feel nauseated, and several young police officers vomited directly.
Gu Chen quickly covered Zhuang Hu's damaged clothes and said, "The deceased was disemboweled with a sharp weapon, but the method was very cruel."
"Is it that set of steel claws?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"No." Gu Chen shook his head and said, "It was the knife that broke it, not the claws."
"Moreover, the other party seems to be venting his anger. There are many wounds all over Zhuang Hu's body, all from stab wounds."
Looking at Zhuang Hu's chest, Gu Chen also frowned and said:
"It seems that Zhuang Hu's hands and feet were tied, and he was treated cruelly during his lifetime. His expression in death was very miserable. He must have been painful to death."
"Isn't this too cruel? Who is so disgusting? Disembowell him? Go ahead, it's too disgusting. Is this person perverted?" A young police officer who couldn't stand it couldn't help complaining.
Lu Weiwei was not surprised and said: "This is normal. This kind of person has a twisted psychology and is inherently problematic."
"Besides, I suspect that the man in black is also this kind of person, with an extremely twisted mentality."
"This kind of person is usually more dangerous. Maybe he is just an ordinary person in real life, but secretly, he may be a murderer."
"Senior Sister Lu, please stop talking, it's so scary." Upon hearing this, the young police officer immediately became frightened.
Lu Weiwei hit him on the head and said angrily: "You have no future, are you scared to death?"
"Senior Sister Lu." Gu Chen looked at Lu Weiwei and said, "We have to find a way to get the body out quickly. You take out the body bag."
"At his place." Lu Weiwei pointed to the young police officer.
"Oh." The young police officer finally realized what he was doing and quickly handed the body bag to Gu Chen.
Afterwards, everyone loaded Zhuang Hu's body into it on the spot.
Lu Weiwei took photos of the scene to collect evidence, and investigated all traces around it.
"Gu Bureau, when did this person die?" a young police officer asked after zipping up the body bag.
"Not long ago." Gu Chen said.
"Not long ago? When was that?" the young police officer asked again.
"It's hard to say. The corpse is already in this condition and needs to be taken to the testing room for testing," Gu Chen said.
"Okay." The young police officer immediately shut up and assisted Gu Chen in lifting the body bag.
Afterwards, everyone began to move towards the entrance of the cave.
The moment they saw the light source, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems that no one wants to stay in a place like this for a moment longer.
When Yuan Shasha saw Gu Chen coming out carrying a body bag, her face immediately turned ugly. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "Senior Brother Gu, who is this person?"
"Zhuang Hu." Gu Chen said.
"Is it him? How did he die?" Yuan Shasha asked again.
"Being disemboweled." The young police officer said before Gu Chen could say anything.
"Evisceration? So disgusting? Is this murderer too perverted?" Yuan Shasha frowned slightly, feeling that the murderer was too cruel.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief and said, "What I'm most worried about right now is the man with glasses and Zhuang Tianhe."
"After all, we have found Zhuang Hu, so Zhuang Tianhe must be nearby."
"But now there is no whereabouts of him. I am very worried, especially Zhuang Tianhe. He is very dangerous now."
"If the murderer is not him, then it is very likely that something unexpected will happen to him."
"What should we do? It will take time to find him." Yuan Shasha said.
