Through the mobile phone number, Gu Chen has now learned that Zhuang Tianhe and the man in black, the man with glasses, He Dongping, have actually been in contact for a long time.
It can be said that the two are even working together.
He Dongping is very familiar with the canyon area, and Zhuang Tianhe has a sheepskin map in his hand, so he obviously knows the secrets in this canyon.
But Zhuang Tianhe handed over the sheepskin map to the old man who bought the scraps to the police.
Obviously, this was not his plan before. Perhaps within five days, he would come back and take away the sheepskin map.
Some changes may have occurred in the meantime, and the biggest change is likely to occur with He Dongping.
Perhaps it was He Dongping's change of mind that caused force majeure in Zhuang Tianhe's plan.
As for Zhuang Hu, perhaps he was not part of the plan at all, but just happened to be involved.
In this way, it seemed that Zhuang Hu had become the biggest victim, but Gu Chen thought of his previous travel companions who were killed and injured.
You know, these two people also came from Guangdong Province with He Dongping. Gu Chen doesn't believe it now that they are real travel companions.
At least from the fact that He Dongping wanted to silence these two people, it is not difficult to see that these two people may also be a threat to He Dongping.
Gu Chen thought that when he was leading a team into the mountains, the bespectacled man He Dongping was particularly enthusiastic and wanted to help. He was obviously anxious, fearing that Gu Chen and others would ruin his plan.
And those two travel friends may also be here to participate in this plan.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also took a breath.
Fortunately, He Dongping didn't attack him behind his back, otherwise he might not be able to get out of the canyon.
"I understand." Gu Chen also crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:
"He Dongping told Zhuang Hu's assistant He Wenjun at that time that he was a little unable to walk, and the so-called lack of physical strength before, maybe it was all an illusion, and we were all deceived."
"Eh?" Officer Wang also suddenly realized when Gu Chen reminded him and said quickly:
"Yes, from the moment we came into contact with the man in black, I felt that the man in black was particularly powerful."
"If it's really He Dongping, then this guy's previous lack of physical strength seems to be all fake."
"He may have expected that we wouldn't be able to find any clues in the cave, so he deliberately pretended to be exhausted and waited in the canyon."
"Actually, he just wants to get rid of us and then act alone, so that he is not restricted by us. Moreover, he must have another purpose for coming here."
"It happened that they came here under the guise of helping us find people, but actually they wanted to come here themselves. Instead, we became their cover."
"Yes." After hearing what Officer Wang said, Yuan Shasha also shook her fingers and said involuntarily:
"This He Dongping pretended that he was exhausted, and then after we left, he started urging Zhuang Hu's assistant He Wenjun to leave."
"Finally, he began to attack his two companions, killing them and silencing them. Then he pretended to be attacked and deliberately discarded his backpack."
"In this way, a murderer is created out of thin air, making us mistakenly think that the murderer is not him, but that he is the victim."
"Yes." Lu Weiwei also shook her right index finger and walked back and forth and said:
"It seems that all this was premeditated. This He Dongping wanted to get rid of his two companions from the very beginning, and that Zhuang Hu was also the one he wanted to get rid of."
"This may be some kind of deal reached between Zhuang Tianhe and He Dongping."
"Since it is a transaction, we must have our own bargaining chips. I guess that in this transaction, He Dongping helped Zhuang Tianhe get rid of Zhuang Hu, and Zhuang Tianhe was responsible for giving He Dongping what he wanted."
"This thing may be some treasure hidden in the canyon. After all, the sheepskin map is a bit old."
"And this old map was obviously made to determine the location of a certain point in the canyon."
"Then besides treasure, I really can't think of anything else."
"It's almost like treasure." Gu Chen also guessed and said: "People die for money and birds die for food. I can't think of anything else that can turn people into evil except property."
After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "Don't we still have an injured person on our hands now?"
"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Yuan Shasha on the side quickly agreed:
"The injured person is still under treatment and has fallen into a deep coma. It is not clear when he will wake up."
"Have the manpower protection been strengthened?" Gu Chen asked.
"Senior Brother Wang has arranged manpower, both open and covert sentries," Yuan Shasha said.
"Very good." After hearing that Officer Wang had arranged everything, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"When the seriously injured man wakes up, maybe we will get a lot of clues, but judging from our contact with the man in black, He Dongping obviously doesn't want us to get close to this area."
"Then this area obviously contains a big secret."
"The manpower we have alone may not be enough. I will immediately apply to Bureau Zhao and ask him to help me mobilize more police officers to assist me in searching the mountain."
"In addition, contact the police dog unit and ask them to bring their best dogs to assist in the search."
"Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must find Zhuang Tianhe and He Dongping."
"Let me contact you about this." Seeing that Gu Chen had made up his mind to find the two of them in the canyon, Officer Wang also took out his cell phone and immediately started to contact Zhao Guozhi.
Gu Chen also folded his arms and leaned on the seat, and then said:
"The key area this time is the canyon, and the white bones we found in the pile of rocks. It has been so many years, and database matching may take some time."
"But as long as we figure out the identity of this body, it will play an important role in solving the case."
"This at least shows that the deceased also came to this area."
"And operating in a secret area obviously involves some secrets."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The identity verification of the Bones does take some time." Lu Weiwei sighed and said with emotion:
"But it's not that difficult. The first thing we have to do now is to find Zhuang Tianhe and He Dongping."
"Investigate the identities of the two people who were killed and the other injured." Gu Chen immediately reminded He Junchao.
"Understood." He Junchao also began to work intensively at this moment. He immediately found the personal information of the two victims and began to investigate.
Gu Chen and others made tea and waited quietly in the office.
Not long after, He Junchao gave the result: "The results are out. The identities of these two people are both antique dealers."
"Antique dealer?"
When they heard about this profession, everyone was stunned.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha looked at each other, both of them confused.
Gu Chen was also a little incredulous and asked: "Could it be that these two people have been doing antique business in Guangdong Province before?"
"That's right." After He Junchao retrieved the information, he also said slowly:
"These two people, oh no, I should say three people, and that man with glasses, He Dongping."
"Is this guy also involved?" Lu Weiwei was also a little confused when she heard this.
But He Junchao still nodded and confirmed, saying: "That's right, the three of them are all partners, and their investment ratios are similar."
"In Yangcheng, Guangdong Province, I opened an antique shop, which resells some antiques. The scale is fairly medium."
"So these people came here together. Maybe He Dongping wanted to get rid of them and deliberately led them to the canyon."
"Perhaps he thought it would be more convenient to do it there and not easily noticed."
"It's possible." Yuan Shasha nodded silently and continued:
"Since these three people are antique dealers doing business together, they must have come here for the antiques."
"In other words, there may be a large number of rare treasures hidden in this canyon?"
"It's completely possible." Gu Chen also agreed with this statement and said thoughtfully:
"So, I feel that it is necessary to invite some geoarchaeologists to help us go together."
"Their professional capabilities in archeology should be of great help to us."
After the words fell, Gu Chen looked at Officer Wang again.
Police Officer Wang, who had just finished communicating with Zhao Guozhi on the phone, immediately added: "I have no friends in this field as a geological expert in archeology, but Bureau Zhao must have connections in this field."
"Even if Bureau Zhao doesn't have it, Bureau Qin and Bureau Qin's connections can definitely help find the person."
"Then please ask Senior Brother Wang to call Director Zhao again." Gu Chen also reminded after hearing this.
"Okay." Officer Wang was a little helpless, but he took out his phone again and immediately started to contact him again.
…
…
The next day, all the Sou Shan police forces deployed by the police force can gather in the Furong branch compound one after another.
These include police officers from the Seremban branch, as well as police officers transferred from other branches, and the police dog team also brought all their belongings to prepare to assist in the investigation.
In addition, the geological and archaeological experts contacted by the Qin Bureau from the provincial capital also happened to arrive at the compound on a bus.
Seeing a large number of police officers gathering in the compound, the geoarchaeologists suddenly felt the solemn atmosphere.
After getting off the car, I greeted Zhao Guozhi. The leader was a bald archaeological expert, who also shook hands with Zhao Guozhi and exchanged greetings:
"Hello, Director Zhao, your Bureau Qin has already greeted us, and we have a general understanding of the situation."
"So this time, I have brought some of the best backbone forces from the provincial capital to assist you in solving the mystery of that canyon."
"This is the best. I'm really grateful for your help." Although Zhao Guozhi didn't know the bald expert leading the team in front of him, he knew that he was invited by the Qin Bureau, so he must be right.
Now the personnel have been fully deployed, and with the expert team, some scientific expedition equipment has also been brought this time, including scanners and the like.
This is of great help for cave exploration and can get twice the result with half the effort.
Seeing that everyone was fully staffed, Zhao Guozhi looked around, but there was no trace of Gu Chen, so he quickly asked the police officer next to him: "Where is Gu Chen? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"I'll call and ask." The third-level police inspector immediately took out his mobile phone and started dialing Gu Chen's number.
But as soon as the call was dialed, the third-level police inspector heard a ringing sound coming from the aisle.
At this moment, Gu Chen had already led his team members down the stairs and arrived at the scene.
"Bureau Zhao." Gu Chen walked up to Zhao Guozhi and said hello.
Zhao Guozhi introduced these experts to Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, these are experts invited by the Qin Bureau from the provincial capital. They brought many advanced instruments this time."
"They can scan the conditions inside the canyon rocks. If there is any situation, they can quickly find it."
"This is the best, it can improve efficiency." After hearing what Zhao Guozhi said, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.
At least it was the first time for him to see the various advanced instruments brought this time, so Gu Chen quickly chatted with the experts.
By the way, I also introduced the specific situation on the other side of the canyon.
Since the murderous man in black, He Dongping, has not yet been found, everyone needs to ensure the safety of the experts.
After the communication, Gu Chen didn't even let the experts rest, and directly asked them to set off with the police team.
All of a sudden, several police buses slowly drove out of the Furong branch compound and headed towards the canyon.
The bus that the experts took was also following closely behind.
Gu Chen and others drove a police car at the front of the road, flashing police lights all the way, and the vehicles on the road detoured on both sides.
Gu Chen led his team members and drove towards the village as quickly as possible.
When they arrived at the village, everyone didn't even take a sip of water and immediately prepared to leave for the canyon area.
Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong, who were responsible for stationing at the entrance of the village, slowly came to Gu Chen at this moment.
"How's it going? Is there anything unusual?" Gu Chen asked.
"Not yet. We have people on duty on this road 24 hours a day, and no suspicious people have been found coming in or out," Ding Liang said.
Huang Zunlong also quickly added: "The situation in the village has been relatively stable these days. No one seems to be panicking, which is very abnormal."
"What do they have to be afraid of as old people? They are all old people, and they may be buried in a few years." Lu Weiwei said.
Huang Zunlong also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, these people seem to have been through strong winds and waves, so they don't want to worry about it."
"To say that I'm afraid, it really doesn't exist."
"Okay." After hearing Huang Zunlong's explanation, Gu Chen roughly understood what the villagers were thinking.
That is to ignore things that have nothing to do with you.
But it was good this way, as Gu Chen could handle the case quietly.
Because from the canyon to the outside world, we can only follow the river down the mountain to a small town.
So now the road at the entrance of the village is blocked, and unless the two of them go over the mountains, they can't get out at all.
With these favorable conditions, Gu Chen felt that he only needed to use the human sea tactic and lead a team of experts to scan the rocks with various precision instruments.
Gu Chen felt that it wouldn't be long before Zhuang Tianhe and He Dongping, who were hiding in the cave in the canyon, would have nowhere to hide.
In this way, everyone is actually encircling them, and then continuously narrowing the area and pushing forward, compressing the hiding place of the two people to the smallest area.
