I am a super cop

If everyone's previous understanding of Hemu Village at Centennial Peak was that it was a primitive village, then the disappearance of Yanzi and Yuan Shasha has revealed many mysteries here.

Especially Yanzi's life experience made Gu Chen quite curious, and now Yanzi and Yuan Shasha chose to go up the mountain before the sun set.

In Gu Chen's opinion, this was indeed suspicious.

Especially there seemed to be other people on this mountain, and these villagers didn't know about it beforehand.

So Gu Chen and others began to maintain absolute concentration while going up the mountain.

"Stop." In a gentle area in the middle of a narrow mountain road, Gu Chen suddenly stopped.

Lu Weiwei asked curiously: "What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?"

"There seems to be signs of parting ways here." Gu Chen said.

"Parting ways?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused and quickly lowered her head to check the situation.

Soon, Lu Weiwei understood what Gu Chen meant, and quickly raised her head to explain: "Junior brother Gu, what you mean is that the footprints are separated, one goes up and the other goes to the right?"

"That's right." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen nodded silently and continued:

"I said before that there is another wave of people who have been to the mountain in the past few days, and this wave of people may be men."

Looking down at the direction of the ground, Gu Chen added: "It is easy to see from the footprints on the ground that these men parted ways at this location and continued walking all the way up and to the right."

"Then what should we do now? Do we have to divide our forces into two groups?" Lu Qiang said.

Officer Wang shook his head and denied: "No, at this time, we cannot separate."

"Especially since we don't know each other's details right now and we separate so hastily. If there are too many people on the other side and it's hard for us to deal with them, we might end up with the same fate as Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi."

"If we get together and look for the past together in one direction, we may be able to investigate some clues."

"Moreover, if the other party is not large in number, we have the numerical advantage and can control the right to speak very well."

After a pause, Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen and asked, "Gu Chen, do you think this is true?"

"Yes, what Senior Brother Wang said makes sense. We can't separate now." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Gu Chen also casually agreed.

Of course, Gu Chen fully agreed with Officer Wang's opinion.

Now we are facing a group of unknown people. What are these people doing in the mountains? Why didn't the villagers find out?

If these issues are not clarified, it may put everyone in danger.

Especially the mysterious disappearance of Yuan Shasha and Yanzi are the best lessons.

So now we must unite together, avoid acting alone, and have an overwhelming numerical advantage.

"Let's go to the right first and take a look. After all, the main road goes up the mountain, and the right side looks like a branch line."

"However, the mountain road here does not look obvious, and the other party walked from here. It seems that the other party is relatively familiar with this area."

"Okay, Junior Brother Gu, we listen to you. If you tell us to go to the right, we will go to the right." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also stood up to support him.

Looking at Officer Wang and Lu Qiang again, they looked at each other and could only nod in agreement.

As a result, the four people immediately became alert and began to grope towards the right.

Since Lu Qiang has never been here, he doesn't know much about the terrain here.

But if you want to ask villagers to serve as guides, it seems a bit difficult.

After all, the village is full of elderly people. It would be troublesome for the elderly to climb such a steep mountain road if something bad happens and they fall or something.

Therefore, everyone can only rely on themselves in the hinterland of Centennial Peak.

"Rustling!"

As Gu Chen cleared the way ahead, he discovered that this less obvious mountain road had fewer and fewer traces of the road under his feet.

In the blink of an eye, everyone was already in a pair of weeds, and the so-called road had disappeared.

"Oh my god!" Lu Weiwei was stunned, and couldn't help but said: "There is no road here, how to get there? How did the other party get there?"

"Let's take a look first." Gu Chen frowned and squatted down to observe carefully.

Then he stood up, pointed forward and continued: "Go forward."

"Let's go." Officer Wang from the back row urged.

The group of people continued walking towards the dense forest.

At this moment, everyone gradually felt that the cold air in the mountains was a bit severe. Everyone shrank their necks and felt that the temperature was obviously lower than before.

Everyone also followed Gu Chen, walking around and observing the surrounding signs.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the fog in the mountains still didn’t dissipate.

At this time, Gu Chen also stopped and stretched out his hand to signal: "We can't go any further. If we go further, we may also get lost in this mountain forest."

"I agree with Director Gu's opinion." Lu Qiang looked around and said nervously:

"There are no roads in this mountain, and the fog in this mountain is very thick. Even if there is the sun above our heads, the sun's rays can't come in."

Looking down at his feet, Lu Qiang continued: "Look at this foot again. The road is covered with weeds. If we go further in, we may be trapped in the mountains. Let's go back the same way, right?"

It could be seen that Lu Qiang was a little scared.

After all, Yuan Shasha and Yanzi disappeared into the hinterland of Centennial Peak.

Lu Qiang didn't want to get himself involved.

But Gu Chen took out a handful of red rope from his outer pocket.

When Lu Qiang saw this, he was also confused and asked Gu Chen: "Gu Bureau, what are you talking about?"

"Something to guide us." Gu Chen said.

Lu Qiang still didn't react, but Officer Wang on the side saw the clues and couldn't help but smile and said:

"Gu Chen, I didn't expect you to bring all the red ropes here?"

"In this way, we can tie red ropes on the surrounding vegetation while walking to know which direction we are going, so that it is not easy to get lost."

"Yes, we often did this when we were investigating cases in the deep mountains and old forests. Fortunately, Junior Brother Gu was well prepared." Lu Weiwei was overjoyed when she saw this.

If it weren't for the red ropes prepared by Gu Chen, I'm afraid everyone would have to go back the same way.

Gu Chen also smiled and said: "I know, I definitely need to go into the forest today."

"However, I have learned about the situation on the Internet before at Centennial Peak. There are more virgin forests here."

"Furthermore, there is basically no signal in the mountains. If you don't mark it well, you are likely to be trapped in the mountains."

After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "So, it is very necessary to tie some red ropes on the vegetation in this mountain forest to guide us in the direction."

"I see." Seeing that Gu Chen had been prepared, he seemed quite experienced.

Lu Qiang finally let go of his worries and asked Gu Chen: "Gu Bureau, should we start tying the red rope now?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "You can still see some prototypes of the road over there just now."

"But when we get here, we can't identify the specific road, so it is necessary to tie the red rope from here."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Seeing that Gu Chen seemed to be very experienced, Lu Qiang could only obey the arrangement.

Afterwards, Gu Chen chose a place where everyone had just passed and tied a red woolen rope on it.

So, everyone continued to follow Gu Chen inside.

At the edge of sight of the red woolen rope, Gu Chen tied on a second one.

In this way, Gu Chen tied dozens of ropes to the road with great experience.

When he came to an open area, Gu Chen immediately squatted down and carefully checked the surrounding traces.

"There are traces of broken vegetation here." Before Gu Chen could say anything, Lu Weiwei on the side first discovered a broken piece of vegetation.

Gu Chen squinted his eyes, looked up and looked forward, and couldn't help but said: "Yes, the other party is walking in the direction in front."

"But what makes me feel strange is that all the way we walked were covered with weeds. We need to tie a red rope to know where to go?"

After a pause, Gu Chen continued: "And these people, they don't seem to need to mark at all, which is a bit strange."

"Maybe he's a local." Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "It is possible. Moreover, these people know the terrain here very well. Even if there is no road, they know how to go. This is very important."

"Yeah." After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Lu Qiang nodded silently and said in agreement:

"It seems that it is probably someone from the village. Most of the people in the village haven't gotten up yet."

"If I had known better, it might have been better for us to go up the mountain after counting the people in the village."

"It's useless to say all this now." Gu Chen thought for a few seconds and continued:

"We can wait until we find these people and then confirm their identities."

"Okay, listen to Director Gu." After all, Gu Chen is the leader, and Lu Qiang also knows that he has no idea in this environment and can only rely on Gu Chen to direct on the spot.

Gu Chen continued to remind: "Keep moving forward."

I don’t know how long I walked, but the weeds on the ground began to gradually decrease and turned into the woods in the mountains.

Because the trees are so tall, the weeds under them cannot stand up.

Therefore, walking under these tall trees has a mysterious feeling.

However, because the light was too dark and there was thick fog, the originally bad sight became blurry again.

When Officer Wang saw this, he could only take out a strong flashlight and shine it on the road ahead, while muttering:

"How come this damn fog hasn't cleared up yet? When we drove up the mountain and reached the road in Hemu Village, we could see the sun shining through."

"But when we get here, we can't see anything. Everything is covered in thick fog. The fog in these mountains is really annoying."

"Haha, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, this is a mountainous area. Thick fog is easy to form in mountainous areas. We just need to walk slower."

Seeing some complaints from his old classmates, Lu Qiang quickly started to appease them.

Officer Wang also sighed heavily and couldn't help but said: "Mainly, I'm a little annoyed by the fog here. It's mainly because walking wastes time."

"It was originally a hard job to find the footprints of those people walking in this mountain forest."

"But now it's better, and there's still heavy fog. It feels like everyone is in a heavenly palace, filled with fairy spirit."

Seeing that Officer Wang was still thinking about joking after everything happened, Lu Weiwei sighed and said angrily:

"There is nothing we can do about this situation. Everyone just follow Junior Brother Gu and leave the rest to Junior Brother Gu."

"That's right, just leave it to me." Gu Chen took a rough look at the surrounding environment and said slowly:

"We should have arrived near the ridgeline. Among the mountains here, I remember that there was a forest growing near the ridgeline."

"Moreover, this forest is distributed along the ridgeline and up the hillside."

“And on the other side of the ridgeline, there are a lot of alpine meadows.”

"Ah?" Seeing what Gu Chen said, Lu Qiang hesitated and said:

"Gu Bureau, how did you know?"

"I have seen the topographic map here, and I remember that there is a place with this kind of vegetation structure." Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei saw Lu Qiang dumbfounded and said with a smile: "My Junior Brother Gu's brain is an encyclopedia."

"Especially since we have done a lot of preparation work before coming to Centennial Peak."

"So, when I saw this scene, my junior brother Gu was impressed."

"Okay, I can see that Director Gu is indeed quite powerful." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Lu Qiang also agreed knowingly.

Of course, Lu Qiang really admired Gu Chen.

Not only was Gu Chen able to become the director of Jiangnan City Furong Branch at such a young age.

More importantly, from the process of Gu Chen leading everyone to handle the case, Lu Qiang saw the composure and stability of his predecessors.

Things arrive without any rush.

From this point of view, it is enough to see how powerful Gu Chen is.

Therefore, Lu Qiang began to admire Gu Chen from the bottom of his heart.

"Follow me, it should be this way." Gu Chen reminded.

After hearing this, everyone continued to follow Gu Chen.

Not long after, everyone had arrived in the middle of the tall woods.

And Gu Chen also led everyone on a small path in the middle.

He didn't know how long he had been walking. When Lu Qiang felt a little tired, suddenly, a ray of sunlight seemed to break through the shackles of the woods and shine directly on Lu Qiang's face.

Lu Qiang squinted his eyes and blocked the sunlight with his hands. He couldn't help but said excitedly: "It's sunlight, there is sunlight shining in."

"I saw it." Gu Chen raised his head and looked forward, forcing many beams of light to shine on the ground. Gu Chen couldn't help but grin and explained:

"It's the Tyndall effect, and here we can see the shape of sunlight."

"Yes, it seems that the fog outside is about to dissipate." Officer Wang was also panting from exhaustion.

After all, this is walking along a slope, which consumes more energy.

Gu Chen raised his left hand, glanced at the direction of his watch, and then said: "It's 11:20 in the morning."

"What?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang was stunned and couldn't help but say:

"It's already past 11 o'clock in the morning? So we've been walking for a long time? Why hasn't the fog in the mountains disappeared after so long? This is too weird."

"It's normal." Seeing Officer Wang making a fuss, Lu Qiang said calmly:

"The Centennial Peak in our Tai City has always been famous for its beauty. The 'qi' here refers to the climate in the mountains and forests. It is moody and difficult to judge."    "And the 'xiu' naturally refers to the scenery in the mountains and forests. , you have also seen along the way, the scenery is indeed beautiful."

"That's right." Seeing what Lu Qiang said, Officer Wang quickly echoed his old classmate:

"The scenery here is indeed good, but I don't like the climate here very much, especially this damn fog, which has delayed us for a long time."

"Haha, Lao Wang, please calm down." Seeing Officer Wang starting to complain again, Lu Weiwei also reminded her quickly.

Afterwards, Gu Chen continued:

"Let's hurry up. According to my impression from looking at the map on my phone before, this forest is almost at the end."

"Are we at the end? Well, let's go quickly." Officer Wang heard this and urged him.

Afterwards, everyone followed Gu Chen and accelerated their pace together.

Ten minutes later, everyone found a dazzling light in front of the tall woods.

Lu Weiwei was so excited that she quickly reminded everyone: "We will be walking out of the woods ahead, everyone, please work harder."

"I have no strength left." Officer Wang was panting, feeling that climbing the mountain was really a torture.

Lu Qiang on the side was not much better. The key was that Lu Qiang weighed more than Officer Wang, and he was panting from exhaustion.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, remained calm enough throughout the whole process and continued to move forward faster, taking the lead in walking out of the woods and arriving at the corner of the woods.

At this moment, Gu Chen saw that the so-called ridgeline was indeed right in front of him.

In front of them is a large area of ​​alpine meadows.

"Come quickly!" Gu Chen turned his head to remind everyone.

Lu Weiwei was the second to rush out of the woods and came to Gu Chen panting. She looked up at the scenery in front of her and said in a bad mood:

"Did...did you come out?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I have to take a rest. If I don't take a rest, my legs may be broken." After finishing her words, Lu Weiwei sat directly on the ground.

Not long after, Officer Wang and Lu Qiang also appeared slowly in front of them.

The two sat on the floor, waving their hands and complaining.

"Gu Chen, I have to rest. I feel like my leg is going to break." Officer Wang waved his hand and simply lay down on the lawn.

"Me too." Lu Qiang didn't say much nonsense, and he lay next to Comrade Lao Wang.

Seeing that all three of his companions were exhausted and paralyzed, Gu Chen did not force them and could only agree to a short rest.

And I climbed the ridgeline.

The ridgeline here is actually a narrow path.

The two sides of the path are surrounded by many weeds.

Gu Chen walked in the middle of the ridgeline and stopped to look around, but soon discovered that there were two tents set up in another location.

This surprised Gu Chen, and he muttered: "Why are there people camping in this place?"

"Besides, isn't the only way up the mountain to Hemu Village? Are these people coming from Hemu Village?"

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chen felt that it was necessary to investigate clearly.

At the very least, we need to know who these outdoor enthusiasts are.

Is it related to the disappearance of Yuan Shasha and Yanzi? Or are you just a simple traveler?

Of course, Gu Chen hoped it would be the latter, but he had to accept the former.

Standing in the middle of the ridgeline, Gu Chen used the cover of weeds to secretly observe the situation on the other side of the tent.

Then, the other party seemed to be living in a tent and didn't come out for a long time.

But during this period, Gu Chen saw a looming figure moving towards the back of the tent.

"I have to go over there immediately and ask for details." Gu Chen was also anxious now and felt the need to communicate with this group of people.

At least you can ask them about the whereabouts of Yuan Shasha and Yanzi.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly returned to the area where everyone was resting, and reminded: "Hurry up, I found two tents."

"Two tents?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang quickly asked:

"Gu Chen, what do you mean by the two tents?"

"Come with me and you will know." Gu Chen deliberately gave it a try, then turned around and left.

Seeing that Officer Wang and Lu Qiang were still in a daze, Lu Weiwei, who had already stood up, quickly urged:

"What are you still doing standing here? Hurry up."

"Okay." Lu Qiang twisted his body and stood up slowly and rhythmically.

Officer Wang directly used his hands to prop up his body and followed closely behind.

Not long after, everyone was brought by Gu Chen to the place where Gu Chen had just observed.

Gu Chen pointed to an open space not far ahead and said, "Did you see it? There are two tents there, and these tents are expensive."

"Is it a brand?" Lu Weiwei squinted her eyes to observe.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "This kind of brand tent, judging from the logo, is quite expensive, probably around 5000."

"What? This tent costs 5000?" Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Officer Wang was stunned and quickly continued to observe.

After Lu Qiang had been observing for a long time, he looked at Gu Chen with a confused expression and asked for advice: "Gu Bureau, can you see this clearly?"

"Yes." Gu Chen was not surprised when he saw this.

Lu Qiang continued to marvel: "It's really amazing. I've been observing there for a long time. Not to mention the logo of the tent, I can't even see the shape of the tent clearly."

"It can be seen that your Gu Bureau's eyesight is really not average."

At the end of his speech, Lu Qiang even couldn't help but extend his right thumb.

After all, Lu Qiang could also see that this handsome young man named Gu Chen was not ordinary powerful.

Even if Comrade Lao Wang is in front of him, he can only stand aside.

But thinking about my old classmates working with such a strong man every day, they must have benefited a lot.

I even felt a little envious.

Gu Chen smiled slightly and quickly explained himself: "Maybe my eyesight is better? I don't know."

"But judging from the two tents, these equipment are expensive. It can be seen that these people are very likely to be experienced tourists."

With a faint sigh, Gu Chen also continued: "So, now we have to go over immediately and contact them to see what's going on there?"

"Okay, let's go now." Lu Weiwei seemed to be impatient and urged her.

So, everyone quickened their pace and walked along the ridgeline towards the tent.

During the walk, Gu Chen also kept observing the situation of the tent.

And Gu Chen also discovered that these two tents were very professional in camping at this location.

It was not an ordinary senior tourist, and there was no way to tell the secrets. Gu Chen secretly muttered, feeling that the owners of these two tents should be senior tourists.

Thinking in my mind, everyone has arrived at the tent.

Gu Chen led everyone to pause briefly in front of the tent, and then led everyone to surround the tent.

"Is there someone inside?" Gu Chen had already noticed that there was someone inside the tent, so he asked again knowingly.

"There is someone, who are you?"

"Can you guys come out for a moment?" Lu Weiwei continued to remind when someone in the tent responded.

Not long after, the two tents opened separately, and two men wearing hard-shell jackets appeared directly in front of everyone.

The two men are about the same height, one is wearing a blue hard-shell jacket, and the price is upwards of 2000 yuan.

The other one was wearing a red hard-shell jacket, the price of which was at least 3000 yuan.

Looking at the tents in front of him, Gu Chen felt that what he just said was too cheap, and he muttered to himself: "The price of these two tents is 8000."

"These are top-of-the-line tents from this brand. Are these people so professional? This equipment is simply blinding."

Still complaining in his heart, two men wearing jackets had already arrived in front of everyone.

The man in a red jacket, who looked less than 30 years old and relatively tall, asked out of curiosity: "Who are you? Are you camping in the mountains too?"

"I am from the Tai City Public Security Bureau, and these are from the Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau. We are here this time to find the whereabouts of the two women."

Lu Qiang finished speaking and looked directly in Gu Chen's direction.

Gu Chen also took over the topic and continued to explain: "We have a colleague and a villager from Hemu Village who are missing in this mountain forest."

"We are currently looking for the whereabouts of these two people. I don't know, have you seen these two women?"

After hearing Gu Chen's words, the two men in jackets also looked at each other in shock.

Then, both of them shook their heads, expressing their ignorance:

"I haven't seen them before. We have never seen the two women you mentioned along the way." said the man in blue jacket.

"It's impossible. Some villagers said that these two people went up the mountain before the sun set. Their luggage is still at home, which means that they are still in the mountain."

"Well, I understand how you feel, but I can't help you." The man in the red jacket still shook his head, indicating that he couldn't help.

Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately changed the interrogation subject and directly asked the man in the red jacket, saying:

"I would like to know, how did you get here?"

"Isn't this simple?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, the man in red jacket quickly explained:

“We are all experienced travelers, and we go hiking and camping in different places across the country every year.”

"We have been to this place once before, so we know the terrain here quite well."

"Is that so?" Seeing the man in the red jacket speaking so sincerely, Gu Chen quickly asked again:

"Then where did you go up the mountain from?"

"From Hemu Village." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the man in blue jacket quickly said:

"We came up from Hemu Village."

"When?" Gu Chen asked again.

"A few days ago." said the man in blue jacket.

Hearing this, Gu Chen couldn't help but frown, and continued to ask:

"I'm curious, about what time did you enter the mountain? Why didn't the villagers notice you?"

"If we are discovered, we can't go up the mountain." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the man in a blue jacket on the side quickly started talking.

Gu Chen was stunned and looked puzzled: "How do you say this?"

"It's very simple." Seeing that Gu Chen and others didn't seem to understand the situation here, the man in blue jacket also said slowly:

"Actually, the depths of the forest at Centennial Peak are full of dangers. When ordinary people come here, they are likely to get lost or encounter various situations."

Taking a deep breath, the man in blue jacket continued to explain:

"Therefore, the local villagers have an unwritten rule that outsiders are not allowed to go up the mountain because it is full of danger."

"Generally, when senior tourists come here, they have to be persuaded to leave."

"Then why don't you leave?" Lu Weiwei asked him curiously.

The man in the blue jacket smiled and replied: "Why don't we leave? We are just for outdoor adventure."

"We came here just to camp here."

After the words fell, the man in blue jacket also pointed to the area in front and explained:

"Look, how beautiful is the scenery in front of you? When you sleep here at night, when you open the tent, you will see such a beautiful scenery in front of you. This is how life should be."

"Okay, so you sneak in, early in the morning or at night?" Gu Chen said.

"It's night." This time it was a man in a red jacket who spoke, and he said listlessly:

"That night, we actually arrived at Hemu Village very early because the villagers had rules. Moreover, our passing partner had been stopped by the villagers before, and they wouldn't let you in even if they gave us money."

With a faint sigh, the man in red jacket shook his head helplessly: "So, there is no other way, we can only find a way ourselves."

"So, we hid on the side of the road at the entrance of the village, in the woods during the day."

"After all the villagers have entered the house, we will quietly walk up the mountain without letting them discover us."

"You are quite perseverant." After hearing what the man in the red jacket said, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but ridicule and continued:

"But, how can you find this place? There is no need to mark it along the way. Have you been here before?"

After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the man in the red jacket also looked into the eyes of the man in the blue jacket.

It seemed that neither of them wanted to answer this question, or it was difficult to answer it.

"What's wrong? Isn't it convenient to answer?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Haha, not really." Seeing this situation, and due to the identity of the other policeman, the man in the red jacket also forced a smile and explained:

"Actually, we did come here once a long time ago. At that time, we followed a mountaineering guide."

"It was the guide who brought us here, so it's not actually our first time here, that's it."
