I am a super cop

Chapter 182 Leading the Snake Out of the Cave

The next morning.

Gu Chen got up very early, in order to avoid being too conspicuous, Gu Chen changed into casual clothes and prepared to return to Xinghua Village.

To be more precise, Gu Chen has always treated this vicious incident with a cautious attitude after the black-clothed man injured another incident in Xinghua Village.

Although Gu Chen has some achievements, he has handled many cases, and in just a few months, he was recognized by all the colleagues in the police station. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is already considered a good existence.

But this doesn't mean that I can slack off because of this...

Gu Chen knows a truth, the higher the praise, the harder the fall.

This time, I found Hu Mengyao, a failed candidate from Jiangbei, in Xinghua Village. The media's follow-up report can come to an end, and it can also be said that the task assigned by Zhao Guozhi to the third group has been beautifully completed.

But regarding Liu Xiaobao's injury last night, it happened under the watchful eyes of Jiangnan TV station and many crew members. It's hard to say whether it can be handled well.

Gu Chen can only do his best to do more investigations.

Although the use of entry-level imagination has been used, it is deduced that the murderer is likely to be hiding in Xinghua Village.

However, Gu Chen obviously knew that the murderer's repeated injuries were likely to be random. Is this a warning to Xinghua Village or revenge?Gu Chen had many new ideas.

Gu Chen only hoped that during the investigation of Xinghua Village, this culprit could be found, so that the crew and the villagers of Xinghua Village could gain a sense of security.

For this reason, Gu Chen started preparations early in the morning after using his entry-level imagination to deduce clues last night.

By the time Police Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and others woke up, Gu Chen had already bought everyone's breakfast.

And use the three-dimensional map of the mobile phone to record the road structure of Xinghua Village in detail, so as to know the Xinghua Village well.

By the time Police Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and the others had finished their breakfast, Gu Chen had already made a lot of records and sorted them out in the notebook.

Officer Wang yawned and said, "Gu Chen, you are such a workaholic. You worked hard all day yesterday, yet you still got up early today."

Gu Chen put away the materials he had sorted out, put them on the table and shielded them, and said: "We still have to make careful preparations, I think the murderer is probably hiding in Xinghua Village, and his understanding of the surrounding terrain is obvious. It is stronger than us."

"You mean... the murderer is in Xinghua Village?" Lu Weiwei gasped, and said thoughtfully, "I actually thought about this yesterday."

"That's why we have to know the terrain better than him." Gu Chen has already put the information into the bag.

"What Gu Chen said makes sense." Officer Wang stuffed the meat bun into his mouth, clapped his hands and said, "We can set off now.

Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun were also very energetic today, both of them worked very hard.

Last night, Bai Xiaolan wrote the news that Hu Mengyao had found into a newsletter, and published it on her official account. By the time she woke up today, the reading volume had exceeded 10+.

And Wu Jun was also in the hotel in Panlong Town, using computer software to edit and post-process the video.

This is the time he has felt the most fulfilled during this period of time.

The task was completed very well, and Hu Mengyao's statement also made follow-up reports possible.

Now the people of Jiangnan City are looking forward to Hu Mengyao and Wu Qi meeting in the hospital, which will also cause a lot of discussion.

But at the same time, what excited Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun was that the wounding incident in Xinghua Village made them catch the hot news again.

I feel that if I can follow the police and bring the murderer to justice in Xinghua Village, then this will be another breaking news incident, enough to hit the headlines.

When the two groups came to Xinghua Village together, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Xu Lang had already changed into casual clothes like Gu Chen.

And Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun have also arrived at the shooting scene of the column.

It's been a busy day today...

"Everyone can see the scene behind me. This is the shooting scene of the online variety show "The Metamorphosis of the Boss." Bai Xiaolan faced the camera with a microphone in her hand, stepped back involuntarily, then turned and pointed to a chair at the entrance of a village.

"Have you seen it? It was here yesterday that you treated a villager who was stabbed with more than 20 knives. You can take a look."

Bai Xiaolan stepped aside, and Wu Jun pointed the camera at the bloody seat.

"Okay, what everyone sees now is the bloody chair, take a look."

Bai Xiaolan pointed to the chair and said: "It can be seen how serious the injured person was at that time, but after the resident doctor treated the wound briefly, the injured person has been picked up by Panlong Town Central Hospital and transferred to the Municipal People's Hospital for further treatment. The injured are in stable condition."

"Okay." Wu Jun gave a thumbs up, indicating that this video has been filmed.

A villager from Xinghua Village came over and said, "Brother, can this chair be moved?"

"Yes." Wu Jun nodded, took the video camera on his shoulder in his hand, and casually took out a 20-yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Thank you. If you want to take pictures of this chair next time, remember to contact me again." The villager stuffed the money into his pocket, smoked a cigarette, picked up the chair and left satisfied.

"Teacher Wu, how is the effect?" Bai Xiaolan came over curiously to check the shooting situation.

"Very good, these materials are very real." Wu Jun looked around, his eyes stopped on Gu Chen who was wearing casual clothes, and said: "Go, go and take pictures of these policemen, and take pictures of their dignified expressions. When it’s time to add some compact BGM, the sense of substitution will come.”

Bai Xiaolan gave a thumbs up: "Teacher Wu is really professional."

On the other side, Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were still asking the film crew where Liu Xiaobao was on yesterday, wanting to know whether what Liu Xiaobao said was true.

I also want to know from the side what other people think of the man in black.

"That's how it happened, comrade policeman, the man in black fled so fast that we didn't have time to react, and he disappeared without a trace." A photographer wearing a vest said.

"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation." Officer Wang patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave.

As soon as he turned around, he found that Wu Jun's camera was pointing at him.

"Officer Wang, how is the current investigation going? Can you tell us about it?" Bai Xiaolan handed over the microphone.

"Cough cough." Officer Wang coughed twice, then straightened his collar, and said, "The first thing we need to do now is to grasp the basic characteristics of criminals as soon as possible, which will help us conduct further investigations."

"Then what progress do you have so far?" Bai Xiaolan handed over the microphone again.

"It can be confirmed that the murderer is very familiar with the terrain around Xinghua Village and is good at using knives. He should be a strong man, because he can quickly evacuate the scene every time he commits a crime." After a pause, Officer Wang continued: "And the murderer... is very likely to be in Xinghua Village."

Officer Wang heaved a sigh of relief after saying this.

These are all the clues Police Officer Wang learned from Gu Chen on the way to Xinghua Village today.

Thinking that today's media will definitely ask about the progress of some cases, I simply prepared some.

"Okay, very good." Wu Jun took the camera off his shoulder again and held it in his hand.

"Thank you, Officer Wang." Bai Xiaolan was very satisfied with this.

Officer Wang said: "These videos will be released after the murderer is found. In addition, the news that the murderer may be in Xinghua Village should not be released."

"Don't worry, Officer Wang." Bai Xiaolan has a high EQ, and immediately expressed her understanding of Officer Wang's concerns: "If we announce it now, it will not only cause panic to the production crew, but also cause panic to the villagers of Xinghua Village, right?"

"Yes, before you catch the murderer, we will not release these materials. This is also the professional quality of our media people." Photographer Wu Jun also expressed his understanding.

After all, long-term cooperation with the police at the Furong Police Station is necessary, and one of the things is not to interfere with the police's handling of the case.

However, it is very rare for Wu Jun and Bai Xiaolan to get and record some real materials from here.

"Brother Xu, if we want to go to the orchard in the village, is the only way to go through the forest?" Gu Chen knew that Xu Lang knew this area better, so he asked him specifically.

"That's right, but it's not absolute." Xu Lang took Gu Chen's notebook, and the topographic map of Xinghua Village and its surroundings drawn in it made Xu Lang's eyes brighten: "Gu Chen, these are all drawn by you. of?"

"Yes." Gu Chen said.

"The painting is really good." Xu Lang couldn't help giving a thumbs up, and was also quite surprised: "You can draw Xinghua Village in such detail, it seems that you put a lot of effort last night."

"It's not long, maybe 15 minutes."

"Well, it's basically very close." Xu Lang pointed to the forest on the drawing and said, "This forest is located at the foot of the mountain and is divided into horizontal branches, which naturally separate the orchard on the mountain from Xinghua Village. If you want to bypass the forest, you must take a lot of wrong roads."

"That is to say, this is the only road that must be passed. The villagers of Xinghua Village cannot avoid this road no matter what, so the murderer can wait here." Gu Chen said.

"That's right, the forest road between the orchard and Xinghua Village is only about one kilometer away." Xu Lang paused for a while, and then said: "And I heard that if you want to bypass this road, you have to wait a long time." It took more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, so don't expect them to take a detour, it's impossible."

"Then can we just go this way tonight?" Gu Chen looked at Xu Lang persistently.

Xu Lang was stopped by the question, but stood aside, Lu Weiwei, who had been observing for a long time, coughed and coughed twice, and said, "Because it is very difficult and unrealistic to find out this murderer by investigation."

"The crew is mixed with the villagers of Xinghua Village, so the composition of the crew is complicated. In addition to the co-production team of Jiangnan TV Station, there is also a program production team."

"The people here are not very familiar with each other, and it will be very difficult to investigate, so what Gu Chen means is that the murderer is waiting for a rabbit, so let's lure the snake out of the hole."

"Leading the snake out of the hole? This is a good word, or Senior Sister Lu understands me." Gu Chen smiled slightly.

Xu Lang looked up at Gu Chen's expression, and said involuntarily, "Young people are bold."

He thought that Gu Chen would use investigations and inquiries to find out the whereabouts of the man in black, but he never thought that Gu Chen would use the trick of luring the snake out of the hole.

Although it seems that the risk is very high, and the effect is still very small, it seems to be the most likely way to find the trace of the man in black at present.

In fact, before coming to Xinghua Village, Gu Chen communicated with several people including Xu Lang about the situation he speculated.

But Xu Lang still thinks it's quite an adventure...

But this time it's a collective action of four people, so the odds of winning may be higher.

During the daytime, the four of them entered the forest and conducted a field investigation of the location where Liu Xiaobao was attacked yesterday.

Using the creases of some vegetation in the forest, trace reasoning was carried out, and the approximate course of action of the murderer was basically judged.

"This guy hides very secretly. If it's an ambush, I will definitely hide here." Gu Chen looked at the traces of Liu Xiaobao's fight with the murderer last night, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

It was the same place where the second child of the Liu family was attacked last time, and it was also at the same location.

Officer Wang held his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then do you think, if the murderer wants to come out to commit crimes again, will he set the ambush location here again?"

"Probably not." Gu Chen shook his head: "It's only three times, and he succeeded here twice. He must know that the villagers and crew members will be vigilant. When he comes here again, he will definitely be more vigilant. He wants to do it again. Committing crimes, the success rate will not be very high.”

Police officer Wang has long been used to Gu Chen's rebuttal, and Lu Weiwei also expressed her understanding.

"Then are you sure you want to lure the snake out of the hole here tonight?" Xu Lang tried his best to open his eyes wide, and said, "Then it can't exceed ten o'clock in the evening at most, and we will fall asleep directly if it is later."

"Haha, listen to Senior Brother Xu." Gu Chen also meant the same thing.

7 pm.

After many investigations, Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang selected an excellent observation location.

Here you can advance and attack, and retreat and defend. It can be said that it is another best place for ambush besides the last place.

But Gu Chen didn't set the lurking location here, but chose to give up on his own initiative, and instead deployed control around this location.

And the perfect location that was vacated was reserved for the murderer.

In this way, once the murderer entered the ambush site, he would be surrounded by four people.

If the back road is cut off again, the murderer will be a turtle in a urn, and it is impossible to escape.

"Have you brought all your things?" Officer Wang, who was lying on the slope, needed to warn everyone again.

The three of them patted the "Nine Small Pieces" on their bodies, indicating that everything was in order.

Then the forest suddenly became quiet...

8:9 p.m., 10:[-] p.m., [-]:[-] p.m.

Until late at night, the entire forest was silent, and there was no movement of any murderer.

"Could it be that the murderer was too scared to come out when he learned that the police were in Xinghua Village last night?" Lu Weiwei was too sleepy and asked for a reason.

"Maybe I really won't come out this time." Xu Lang also squinted his eyes, his head was pounding and pounding, and his eyelids were very heavy.

Police officer Wang is quite energetic, but he is still waiting, gradually consuming his energy.

He touched Gu Chen beside him with his hand, and asked, "Gu Chen, why don't we go back today, maybe the murderer is really afraid of the police and didn't dare to come out?"

In fact, judging from yesterday's situation, the murderer really didn't know that the police had come to the village. If the murderer was really from Xinghua Village, he must have known about it.

Gu Chen wondered: "That's fine, I'll listen to Senior Brother Wang for everything."

In fact, Gu Chen was also hesitant. When he thought of the murderer appearing in the forest and attacking the passing crowd with a knife, Gu Chen had countless thoughts.

There are all kinds of possibilities in my mind...

To deal with such a cunning opponent, I'm afraid it won't be solved in a day or two.

In the past, in Jiangnan City, some shooting methods could be used to narrow the scope of the investigation, but it is completely different here.

Officer Wang finally made a decision, and made sign language gestures to dismiss everyone.

But at this moment, in Xinghua Village in the distance, there was a sudden barking of dogs.

Not long after, Gu Chen's cell phone, which had been set to silent, suddenly lit up.

The caller was reporter Bai Xiaolan.

"Reporter Bai, what can I do for you?" Gu Chen was already at the end of the line, ready to return the same way.

"Officer Gu, where are you?" Bai Xiaolan's tone was urgent.

"What's wrong in the forest?" Gu Chen looked curious.

"Then hurry up and come here. Someone has been attacked again. This time it's the crew. Now the crew has blocked the village committee. Many people want to go back to Jiangnan City."

Through the phone, Gu Chen could feel the noise of the scene, many people were making a scene.

"We'll be there right away." After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen briefly explained the situation to a few people, and everyone rushed towards Xinghua Village.

When they arrived at Xinghua Village, many people had already surrounded the small square in front of the village committee, and many people started shouting loudly.

"We're going home, we can't stay here any longer."

"Director Guo, how did you promise last night and today?"

"What kind of murderer won't hurt the crew? What about the one who was injured today?"

"That's right, Director Guo, you have to give us an explanation, either change the place, or we quit, but we can't risk our lives for this little money."

There is a lot of controversy...

Director Guo and the old village chief, who were wearing peaked caps, were also standing in front of the village committee at a loss at this moment.

Director Guo explained to the audience from time to time,
At this time, he saw four people rushing to the back of the crowd, and he couldn't help feeling that he had found a savior.

Director Guo immediately pointed to the back of the crowd and shouted: "It's the police, the police are here."

The scene suddenly became quiet for a short while, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Gu Chen running over first.

In the crowd, Bai Xiaolan didn't know where she came from, so she immediately grabbed Gu Chen's hand and walked out of the crowd.

"Gu Chen, the director and the village chief can't help it now, everyone is having a temper tantrum, you have to be careful, don't take all the trouble on yourself."

Bai Xiaolan was also afraid that Gu Chen would suffer, so she told him the truth first.

"Thank you very much." Gu Chen was full of confidence, pushed away Bai Xiaolan's hand, and immediately walked towards the crowd.

The old village head and Director Guo walked down quickly and stretched out their hands to meet Gu Chen.

"Comrade police, you've come, and something serious has happened again."
