Officer Wang's question made Hong Bo hesitate. He looked at Gu Chen and continued:
"You said that the man in black you met before, do you still remember his moves?"
"Remember." Gu Chen also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "This person's moves are basically killing moves."
"As long as you remember it, then, can you simulate the scene for me now?" Hong Bo said.
Gu Chen was stunned: "Simulating the scene at that time?"
"Yes, it means simulating the scene at that time. If you simulate the situation at that time, I can determine whether that person used the same moves as the person I met 30 years ago."
"Okay." Seeing what Hong Bo meant, Gu Chen nodded silently and quickly stood up.
Gu Chen looked around and continued: "This room is not big enough."
"It doesn't matter, it's a move. You don't have to actually make a move, just show the move." After Hong Bo finished speaking, he stood up directly, came to Gu Chen, and said:
"I will now simulate your situation at that time, and you can explain the situation at that time."
"Okay." Seeing Hong Bo's serious attitude, Gu Chen immediately became more positive.
Soon, Gu Chen explained to Hong Bo on the spot how he made the move and how the other party made the move.
Hong Bo also immediately imitated Gu Chen's movements, and Gu Chen imitated the movements of the man in black.
After the two of them discussed each other for a while in the office, Hong Bo stopped and said, "No need to imitate. The man in black may be from the same sect as the man I met 30 years ago."
"Are all the moves the same?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"Yes." Hong Bo sat back in his seat, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said:
"This man in black may be that person's apprentice, or he may be his family."
"If you are looking for a man in black, you might as well start with this man."
"But after all, in the past 30 years, do you know the whereabouts of that person?" Gu Chen asked.
"I haven't had contact with him for a long time, but I heard that this person is a northerner. He migrated from the north to the south and came to this city."
"I want to open a martial arts gym here to teach classes or something, but because the moves are not focused on strengthening the body, I can't recruit students."
"In addition, he is not a member of our local martial arts association, so he did not participate in many activities."
"That's why, at that event, he had to show off his strength in the ring."
After saying this, Hong Bo shook his head: "It's a pity that he made it self-defeating."
"His moves were judged by our Martial Artists Association as low-level moves and cannot be used on the stage."
"Although the attack power is very strong, it goes against the original intention of martial arts to strengthen the body."
"So, although he shined that time, he did not achieve the purpose of publicity."
"Later, after the arena match, I gave him my business card and told him that if he needed help, he could come to me."
"After all, he looked very depressed at that time. We also communicated for a while, and he told me that he lived in Zhao Village in the suburbs and lived here."
"So, maybe you can go to that Zhao Village to find out the whereabouts of this person."
"Zhaocun?" After hearing what Hong Bo said, Officer Wang also said quickly:
"There are very few people named Zhao here."
"That's right, so you can easily find this person, or find out about this person, and it seems that he has been living there."
"As for whether you are still in Zhaocun now? I can't guarantee that. You have to find out for yourself."
"Okay, thank you." After Gu Chen got this clue, he felt like he had found a treasure.
After all, this man's moves were very close to his own moves against the man in black.
Since Mr. Hong said that the man was a relative, as long as he found the man in Zhao Village, he might be able to find out what happened to the man in black.
Because the other side of the canyon is still under police blockade.
Gu Chen urgently needed to find clues about the man in black, so he could only bid farewell to Hong Bo and immediately led everyone towards the surrounding suburbs.
According to the address given by Mr. Hong, everyone quickly found the so-called Zhao Village.
Zhaocun is located on a hilltop on the outskirts of Jiangnan City.
It seems that the population here is not large, the houses are relatively old, and there are not many new houses.
This is in sharp contrast to the villages surrounding Jiangnan City.
When Lu Weiwei saw this scene, she couldn't help but wonder: "This place is so strange, why does it look so depressed?"
"Yes, and it seems like the population is very small, but there are a lot of old houses." Yuan Shasha also saw the problem.
Gu Chen ignored this and parked the vehicle in an open area at the entrance of the village, got out of the car and prepared to find someone to ask about the situation.
But after getting off the bus, I discovered that there were not even vehicles here, the houses were old and retro, and there were very few new ones.
And in broad daylight, you can't even see people moving around.
"This place is a bit strange. It seems like no one lives there."
"Junior Brother Gu, look over there." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei quickly pointed to one of the old houses and said, "It seems like someone is drying clothes over there. There may be people living there."
"Let's go over and take a look." Gu Chen also saw it and immediately prepared to take everyone over to take a look at the situation.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the door of the house.
An old lady was sitting at the gate and basking in the sun.
Perhaps because he was squinting his eyes to rest, he did not notice the arrival of Gu Chen and others.
So Officer Wang asked Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha to wake up the old lady.
"Old lady, old lady, wake up."
Under Lu Weiwei's patting, the old lady opened her eyes, looked at Lu Weiwei and the others with some confusion, and asked:
"Are you guys?"
"Oh, we are the police from Furong Branch of Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau. We are here this time and we have something to ask you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lu Weiwei was also very polite, but the old lady looked confused and continued to ask:
"You're looking for me?"
"Yes, I'm looking for you just to inquire about you personally." After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she immediately showed the picture of the steel claw weapon that Gu Chen had drawn with a pencil in front of the old lady and asked:
"Old lady, have you seen this weapon?"
"What is this?" The old lady looked panicked, and she seemed to have seen the familiar picture of the weapon on the drawing.
"It's a steel claw weapon that can be worn on the hand. It is attached from here. Have you seen this kind of weapon?" Lu Weiwei continued to ask.
The old lady frowned and said slowly: "I have seen this thing before, but it was many years ago."
"Can you tell us?" Officer Wang also looked serious.
The old lady sat upright and said thoughtfully:
"I remember that this thing belongs to a person in our village. He used to practice martial arts. He collected this kind of steel claw and even performed it in front of us."
"Is this person still there? Where did he come from?" Yuan Shasha quickly asked.
But the old lady shook her head: "He is no longer here, he has been buried long ago."
"Has he passed away?" Officer Wang was quite disappointed when he heard this, so he asked again:
"Then does he have a family?"
"There is an apprentice who has no family and is alone. However, he adopted an apprentice. Counting the time, he is almost 30 years old now."
"Where did that person come from?" Officer Wang felt more and more that the person the old lady was talking about seemed to have a great background.
The old lady also sighed and said: "He was not from our village before, because our village also migrated from the north."
"At that time, our ancestors moved from the north to the south to escape the war and settled down here. However, the population was small, so our Zhao village was very small."
"Moreover, young people have chosen to go to cities for development, so there are only old people like me left in the village."
As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady took out a pack of cigarettes from her coat pocket and lit it for herself.
Seeing the old lady smoking, Lu Weiwei was also surprised, and quickly reminded her: "Old lady, smoking is bad for your health, so smoke less."
"I'm used to it." The old lady puffed out her breath habitually and said slowly:
"I am also an old smoker. I can't quit. The person you are talking about has a relatively small family."
"Anyway, they are not from the same ethnic group as us. Their ancestors were in the north of us, several villages away from us. Later, they came together with our ancestors."
"Then, we came here to settle together, but this man has liked to practice martial arts since he was a child. Moreover, he made a set of self-made weapons with steel claws, which is the picture you just showed me."
"Oh." Lu Weiwei reacted and immediately took out the hand-drawn drawing and showed it in front of the old lady.
The old lady also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, yes, that's the kind of weapon."
"If nothing else, this guy usually feels like he's not doing his job properly, but when it comes to martial arts training, especially with his set of steel claw weapons, it's so smooth."
"And I heard that he also created his own martial arts. He combined some moves from other sects with his own weapons to create his own set of kung fu."
"Then 30 years ago, did he go to the city to participate in a martial arts event? Did he even compete in a ring?" Officer Wang heard this and quickly asked.
The old lady nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, yes, he has been there. 30 years ago, he didn't even have enough travel expenses and accommodation expenses. He even borrowed money from people in our village, saying he wanted to go to the ring to make a name for himself."
"What's the result?" Yuan Shasha asked knowingly.
"The result?" The old lady took a deep breath and sighed helplessly:
"In the end, it seems that he didn't achieve anything famous. He originally wanted to make his name in the ring, but it didn't seem to be very successful."
"But think about it, you are a person who created your own martial arts, and your moves are not authentic. You also made a steel claw and made yourself so abstract. How can you leave a good impression on others?"
After a pause, the old lady continued: "Take this weapon as an example. It's so abstract, and it doesn't look like a decent weapon at first glance. If it was a TV show, it would probably be a villain."
"Oh?" Upon hearing what the old lady said, Lu Weiwei also curiously asked her:
"Old lady, why do you think so?"
"Is this still necessary? All decent people use knives and swords. Only free villains use weird weapons. Isn't that how it is shown in TV series?"
"Okay." Hearing what the old lady said, it felt like she hadn't heard anything.
But Gu Chen had been listening carefully. After the old lady finished speaking, Gu Chen asked the old lady again:
"Then his apprentice is his adopted son?"
"He's not really an adopted son. In fact, he's just an orphan, an orphan who doesn't like to talk."
"That guy was brought to our village when he was very young. Later, that guy died and the boy grew up, and suddenly disappeared."
"In our village, since we held the funeral for that guy, we have never seen his apprentice again. It's like he has never been to this world."
"But we can also understand. After all, in our small village, even the master is gone. Is it necessary to stay? He must have to find his own way."
"It's just that the old house has been left there, and it's abandoned and worthless."
"Can you take us to his house?" Gu Chen suddenly thought that we could go to that person's house.
The old lady agreed very readily and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I will take you there."
After the words fell, the old lady got up and took Gu Chen and others directly to start walking towards one of the old houses.
Not long after, Gu Chen and others were brought to the door of the old house.
At this moment, the doorway of the old house is already overgrown with weeds. Coupled with the dilapidated feel of the old house, it makes people feel very simple.
At this time, the doors and windows seemed to be badly damaged.
When the old lady saw Gu Chen and others staring at the broken doors and windows, she immediately explained:
"This is because the children in the village were ignorant. Seeing that this old house had been unoccupied for a long time, they used slingshots to use the family's windows as targets. As a result, the windows were broken one by one."
"I know, this is the broken window effect." Yuan Shasha also said casually.
The old lady didn't seem to understand, and said: "Anyway, the children in the village are also naughty. There were always a few naughty and mischievous in the past, but now they have grown up and have gone to study outside."
"This village is no longer as lively as it used to be."
"Can we enter this house?" Gu Chen asked curiously, looking at the rusty iron locks and dilapidated doors and windows.
"Yes, but I can't get in. I don't have the key." The old lady said.
"Can I break down the door and get in?" Officer Wang said.
Gu Chen waved his hand and refused: "You don't have to break the door, you can get in through the window."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen walked directly to the broken window and manually removed the few pieces of broken glass remaining on the wooden window.
Then he reached in and opened the iron bolt from the inside.
Then he directly opened the wooden window and said: "Go in from here."
"It's okay." Seeing Gu Chen doing this, Officer Wang suddenly felt that it was not impossible.
