I am a super cop

Although the old village chief's words made sense, for now, Gu Chen was more willing to believe that such a thing was more likely done by someone from his own village.

First of all, outsiders definitely don’t know much about the specific situation of Hemu Village.

Moreover, of the two groups of outdoor hikers Gu Chen came into contact with, one group camped near the waterfall and the other camped on the ridgeline.

To say that I came to Hemu Village with a heavy baggage, and the time was so tight.

After knocking the old wood unconscious, he locked the old wood in the cellar of the vacant old house.

And he was able to get the luggage in the room of Yanzi's old house without picking the door lock.

Everything told Gu Chen that if it was hikers who did it, then they didn't have that much time at all.

"Old village chief, I still hope you can think carefully about who among the villagers is the most suspicious."

"Normally, if the old principal has some mental problems, then there may be very few people who have issues with him, but it is not impossible."

"I know." After hearing what Gu Chen said, the old village chief also sighed, a little helpless, but still tried his best to explain:

"Comrade police officers, I can understand your feelings. When something like this happens, especially in our Hemu Village, we feel uncomfortable."

"After all, who wants to get involved in such a thing? But our village is full of elderly people, and Lao Mumu and we are both from the same village."

"It is impossible for us to attack people from our village. This is definitely not done by people from our village. If it was, I would be the first to refuse."

"But now it's not a question of whether you can answer or not. Someone wants to murder Lao Mumu now, because judging from the wounds on Lao Mumu's head, it seems that the other party has a murderous hand."

"Fortunately, the old man is stubborn and can still breathe. It can be seen that the murderer is ruthless, but he also knows your Hemu Village very well."

Lu Weiwei sighed in the middle of her words and continued:

"If it wasn't someone from your village who did it, then who could it be?"

"And this is a group crime."

"This……"

Feeling that even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to clean himself up. The old village chief frowned and looked at the two old men beside him. He said angrily: "You guys should say something."

"What are we talking about?" An old man scratched the back of his head and said with a puzzled look on his face:

"We were called to help early this morning, but what happened? We don't even know."

"Yes." Another old man here quickly agreed: "We have a good relationship with each other. Apart from rarely speaking and communicating with others, he is from the same village as us."

"Why should we have trouble with the people in the same village? Is this such an unreasonable thing?"

Seeing the three of them starting to argue with each other, Officer Wang hesitated for a moment, then reached out and interrupted:

"Everyone please be quiet."

Seeing that everyone had stopped arguing, Officer Wang asked again: "Let me ask you, has Lao Mumu ever had any conflicts with you before?"

"Before?" When everyone heard this, they also looked at each other.

Officer Wang added: "It was when he was the principal, or when he just retired, anyway, it was before."

"No?" An old man looked around and shook his head in denial:

"We really have nothing to do with him? We have a very good relationship."

"Yes, when he was the principal, we all respected him. After he retired, we respected him even more. How could we harm him?" Another old man also said.

The old village chief scratched the back of his head. When he saw Gu Chen and others looking at him, he quickly replied:

"Comrade police, to be honest, we know that this matter may have something to do with our village. After all, the person was locked up in the cellar of the village."

Raising his right hand, the old village chief continued: "But one thing I can guarantee is that no one in our village will do such a sinful thing, absolutely not."

"Okay." Seeing that if he continued to ask this question, the other party would still use various excuses to excuse him. Gu Chen felt that there was no need to discuss this anymore.

The most important thing now is to find the person who attacked Lao Mu.

Moreover, the old village chief's reminder just now also made Gu Chen alert.

After all, as soon as Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi returned to Hemu Village, many strange things happened one after another.

You can guess with your toes that this may have a lot to do with Yanzi's return to the village this time.

And it is very possible that the swallows came with some purpose.

But this seemed to have offended some people's core interests, which led to Yanzi and Yuan Shasha losing contact.

Then, it was even more strange that three different hiking teams came to Hemu Village and Baisui Peak Mountain at the same time for hiking and camping.

Therefore, Gu Chen was wary of the members of these hiking teams.

But Gu Chen didn't find many abnormalities during his communication with these outdoor hikers.

Only from these people did we know that one or two amateur outdoor hikers coincided with the time when Yanzi and Yuan Shasha lost contact.

However, both of them are currently missing.

Although Lu Qiang has been asked to help find the whereabouts of these two people through the police resources of Tai City.

But so far, there is no news.

Thinking that things were getting more and more complicated, Gu Chen felt that it was necessary to pay close attention to the two groups of outdoor hikers in the mountains.

After thinking about it, Gu Chen looked back at the old village chief and said, "Do you know about those outdoor hikers in Centennial Peak Mountain?"

"I don't know." The old village chief shook his head like a rattle and tried his best to deny:

"We don't know at all that someone could sneak up on Centenary Peak Mountain?"

"Okay." Seeing what the old village chief said, Gu Chen continued to explain: "I will give you a task now."

"Say it." Seeing Gu Chen's request, the old village chief quickly agreed.

"Take the people in your village and always pay attention to the people coming down from the mountain."

"Among these personnel, there is a team of two people and a team of three people."

"When they come down, you can help us inquire about the specific situation of these two groups last night. The more detailed the better."

After thinking about it, Gu Chen added, "It's best to record the entire process with our mobile phones."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Seeing what Gu Chen said, the old village chief nodded fiercely.

After all, all the doubts now point to Hemu Village. If he doesn't express his opinions, it seems that the object of suspicion will fall on him.

So the old village chief readily agreed.

Since Gu Chen had very few people at his disposal, this was a different place after all.

Therefore, Gu Chen felt that he still needed to ask Lu Qiang for help and ask Lu Qiang to send more people.

So after explaining to the old village chief and others, Gu Chen called Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang aside to discuss with everyone:

"Senior Brother Wang, I think the two groups of outdoor hikers on the mountain are also very suspicious. It may be difficult to ask the villagers to help investigate and inquire. We also need to ask Senior Brother Lu to exclude some personnel from coming to support."

"Okay, I can ask Lu Qiang to arrange this." After hearing Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang quickly replied.

Gu Chen nodded silently and said, "Also, we must go to meet Senior Brother Lu as soon as possible to see the old principal's injury."

"If he can be revived, we can understand the situation as soon as possible, which is critical."

"However, we cannot ignore Hemu Village. We must strengthen supervision and station people here to keep an eye on every move here, because the murderer is very likely to be still lurking in Hemu Village."

"So, necessary regulation is necessary."

"Yes." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang continued to nod in agreement: "Yes, this situation is all happening in Hemu Village. There is a high possibility that the murderer is lurking in Hemu Village."

"It's not an exaggeration to ask Lu Qiang to send some people over. I will arrange this."

"Yes." Seeing that Officer Wang replied quite readily, Gu Chen continued: "And from now on, let Senior Brother Lu send someone to send a car to pick us up from the mountain."

"Okay, I'll call him right now."

After listening to all Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Wang immediately took out his mobile phone and started to contact Lu Qiang.

Here, Gu Chen also took Lu Weiwei to the old village chief and repeatedly communicated with the villagers.

An hour and a half later, a green pickup truck slowly drove to the parking lot of Hemu Village. Liu Yuan got out of the car and hurriedly walked towards Gu Chen and the others:

"Gu Bureau, Officer Lu asked me to pick you up and go down the mountain."

"Are you here alone?" Gu Chen looked behind Liu Yuan, and it seemed that he was the only one.

Liu Yuan also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, Officer Lu is already in contact with the remaining support and may have to come later."

"Okay." Seeing this situation, Gu Chen continued to ask Liu Yuan:

"By the way, Director Liu, where is Senior Brother Lu now?"

"He? The injured person has been sent to the hospital in the city." Liu Yuan said.

"Are they accompanied by people from the town? Or the villagers from Hemu Village?" Gu Chen asked again after hearing Liu Yuan's words.

After all, Gu Chen is now suspicious of the villagers in Hemu Village.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he also smiled and said: "According to Officer Lu's wishes, I sent a clerk from our town to accompany him. The injured is still very serious. The doctors in the town are already helping to treat the wounds."

"The ambulance sent by the city has also received the injured, and it was the city hospital where Officer Lu and the clerk escorted the injured to."

"Okay." Seeing that Lu Qiang was working according to his own wishes, Gu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

So Gu Chen looked at Liu Yuan again and continued to ask: "What about the villager from Hemu Village who accompanied Officer Lu to the town?"

"He? He's staying in the town. He seems to be buying some things. He might take the police car that goes up the mountain from behind."

"After all, Officer Lu has contacted their colleagues and is already rushing to the town. When the time comes, the villager can lead him up the mountain. He is still in the town."

"Okay, very good." Seeing that everything was arranged properly, Gu Chen looked back at the direction of the old village chief and the others, and hurriedly came to them.

When the old village chief saw Director Liu from the town going up the mountain again, he knew that Director Liu was here to take Gu Chen and others down the mountain.

But the accidents that happened one after another in Hemu Village also made the old village chief and others panic.

Seeing that Gu Chen was about to leave, the old village chief also took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Officer Gu, are you leaving Hemu Village?"

"Leave for now, but we will come back." Gu Chen said.

The old village chief frowned and said, "But, so many things happened in the village, and you left suddenly."

With a heavy sigh, the old village chief shook his head helplessly: "I really don't know, what will happen here next? All of us are quite scared now."

"It's okay." Seeing that the old village chief was trembling and seemed to be frightened by the old wood's injury and kidnapping, Gu Chen quickly comforted him:

"It won't take long for police support to arrive. At that time, we will have police officers stationed in the village. If there is a situation, our police officers will help deal with it. You don't have to worry about this, they will protect your safety."

"Oh, that's fine if that's the case." Hearing this, the old man on the side also nodded silently.

Another old man was also curious and asked: "How long will it take for them to come over?"

"The man from your village will take them up the mountain and is already on the way." Gu Chen said.

"Okay." Seeing what Gu Chen said, the old village chief didn't have too many scruples and communicated with Gu Chen again:

"Then now, we just need to stay at the intersection in the village, wait for the hikers who secretly camped on the mountain, and then ask them about the specific situation last night?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently.

"Okay, I understand, then you all have a good trip." Seeing that his mission was clear, the old village chief no longer had any worries.

Afterwards, after everyone exchanged a few words beside the vehicle, Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang and took Liu Yuan's pickup truck down the mountain.

After coming down the mountain, Gu Chen asked Liu Yuan to drive everyone directly to the hospital in the city, preparing to meet Lu Qiang.

11:20 am.

When the vehicle stopped steadily at the entrance of the emergency department of the Second People's Hospital of Tai City, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang got out of the car and quickly rushed to the designated location.

At this moment, outside the operating room, Lu Qiang was still sitting there waiting quietly. When Gu Chen and others arrived, Lu Qiang also stood up quickly and hurriedly came forward and said:

"Gu Bureau, are you here?"

"How is the situation?" Gu Chen asked quickly.

Lu Qiang shook his head: "The situation is not optimistic because he lost too much blood and his vital signs are very weak now."

"On the way I escorted Lao Mu to the hospital, the doctor in the ambulance also said that if he was discovered a little later, the old man's life would be in danger."

"It seems that we still rushed before death and saved Lao Mu's life." After hearing such news, Lu Weiwei also breathed a sigh of relief.

Officer Wang also quickly asked: "Have you contacted Lao Mu's family?"

"This is not available for the time being." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Qiang shook his head and said helplessly:

"I don't have the contact information of Lao Mu's family, but I have asked people in the town to contact Hemu Village and ask them to find a way to contact Lao Mu's family."

With a faint sigh, Lu Qiang also said with lingering fear:

"I haven't recovered from the state just now. This old idiot almost died in the car. When he was sent to the operating table, I heard that he had his last breath. He is still undergoing surgery." At this moment, the lights in the operating room went out, and everyone came back to their senses from the communication state.

Afterwards, everyone began to come to the door of the operating room, waiting for the results.

When the door to the operating room opened, two nurses pushed the stretcher outside.

Then two surgeons came out.

Mr. Gu Chen glanced at the old piece of wood lying on the stretcher, then looked at one of the older surgeons and asked quickly: "Doctor, how is the condition of the injured?"

"It's so dangerous." Facing Gu Chen's inquiry, the older doctor also sighed heavily, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"This injured person is almost breathing his last breath. If you had come a little later, maybe no matter how good your medical skills are, you won't be able to save him."

"So, does that mean the injured person is out of danger?" Lu Weiwei heard this and quickly asked the doctor.

The doctor also nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "It can be said that I still need to go to the ICU ward for observation. If I can survive these few days, I may be able to recover slowly."

"but……"

At this point, the doctor hesitated again.

Gu Chen and others looked at each other, then looked at the doctor.

Officer Wang also quickly asked: "But what?"

"But..." The doctor pointed to his head and said involuntarily:

"However, the injured person's head was injured, and the injury was very serious."

"He is still in a severe coma. It is hard to say whether the injured person will regain consciousness after he wakes up."

"Okay." Listening to what the older doctor said, Lu Qiang on the side also took a breath and asked quickly:

"Then when can the injured person wake up?"

"It's hard to say." The doctor shook his head and sighed:

"The anesthesia has not worn off yet, and the injured person is in a severe coma. If he is in good condition, he may be able to recover later today, right?"

"If the condition is not good, it may take a few days or even longer."

"But when will you be able to wake up? I can't guarantee this. It can only depend on the patient's specific condition."

"Okay." When the doctor said this, Officer Wang also knew the general situation, so he quickly thanked him and said:

"Thank you very much for your hard work."

"You're welcome. You can go to the ICU ward to wait for the results. Also, we have to send someone over to handle the procedures."

"I'll come, I'll go with you." As soon as the doctor here finished speaking, Lu Qiang raised his hand and said.

Afterwards, the doctor, accompanied by Lu Qiang, gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Gu Chen and others also followed the walking path of the nurse just now and arrived outside the ICU ward.

When everything was dealt with, Gu Chen and others entered the ICU ward and gathered around Lao Mumu, who was in a coma.

Gu Chen also reminded: "Now Lao Mu is very important to us. If the murderer knows that Lao Mu is not dead yet, he may launch a second attack."

"So, we must send more manpower to protect the safety of the old principal at all times. He cannot leave here 24 hours a day."

"Yeah." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang also agreed:

"I will inform Lu Qiang about this and let him make arrangements. I believe the Tai City police will also pay attention to it."

"Alas!" As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Lu Weiwei sighed.

When Officer Wang saw this, he also curiously asked: "Lu Weiwei, why are you sighing? Isn't the person still alive?"

"I was wondering how Xiao Yuan is doing now? We found this old piece of wood in time and sent her to the hospital ICU, but if Xiao Yuan is injured, who can save her?"

Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei covered her face with her hands and said in frustration:

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to approve Xiao Yuan's request for leave. Although Yan Zi and her are very good friends, Xiao Yuan can't go home with her?"

"I don't know what to do now that something like this has happened? I just hope that Xiao Yuan can be safe now and nothing will happen to him."

After the words fell, Lu Weiwei put her hands together, bowed to the air, and said:

"Please protect me from Bodhisattva and keep Yuan Shasha from getting into trouble. Please."

After the words fell, Lu Weiwei continued to put her closed hands against her forehead.

Seeing that Lu Weiwei was so depressed, Gu Chen also took the initiative to step forward, patted Lu Weiwei on the shoulder, and said comfortingly:

"Senior Sister Lu, don't worry. Little Yuan Jiren has her own destiny. She should be fine. Now we just need to wait for the old principal to wake up slowly, and then find out the situation."

"I believe we will get the results soon, but the period before the old principal wakes up is the most dangerous. We must not let strangers approach him at will."

"Even the police officers who come on duty must be absolutely reliable."

"Don't worry, Lu Qiang will arrange everything. As an old classmate, I am quite reliable." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang also mentioned Lu Qiang again.

Since it was noon, it was time to eat. While the three of them were staying in Lao Mu's ward, Lu Qiang had already walked to the door carrying a large bag of things.

Seeing that everyone was there, Lu Qiang was at the door and knocked gently three times. When everyone saw him, he also waved to them.

Seeing this, Gu Chen and others also came to the door one after another.

"Are you all hungry? I went to the hospital canteen and bought some food. Let's all eat here."

"Okay, here's Senior Brother Lao Lu." Gu Chen took the lunch box that Lu Qiang took out of the bag and thanked him.

Lu Qiang smiled and said: "Nothing? We just thought of the problem too simply. We didn't expect that so many things would happen in Hemu Village."

"Had I known it, I would have asked the city bureau for more people to go there. However, now the city bureau has begun to pay attention to this situation. My leader has arranged enough people to go to Hemu Village."

"After those hikers come down the mountain, they will also be invited to have tea by people from our city bureau. We must find out the specific identity information of these people."

"Well, this is the best arrangement." Seeing that Lu Qiang had made arrangements, Officer Wang nodded silently, and then said:

"Old classmate, it's really hard for you to come here this time."

"It's not hard work, you should." After Lu Qiang distributed the lunch box to everyone, he took out the mineral water from the bag and distributed it to everyone again.

After Lu Weiwei got the mineral water, she also reminded: "Then will your city bureau send people to search near Hemu Village? After all, Xiao Yuan and Yanzi disappeared in Hemu Village."

"This..." After a brief hesitation, Lu Qiang also said slowly:

"I have already reported this to our leaders. We will send people to search, especially in remote mountainous areas like Hemu Village. The resources that need to be deployed are not just a few people."

When Officer Wang heard this, he quickly asked: "Then what are the arrangements for your city bureau?"

"Well, the leaders from the city bureau are already trying to contact the fire rescue team. I heard that some professionals will be sent to search around Hemu Village."

"I believe that with professional equipment and professionals, we should be able to find traces of your colleagues. You don't have to worry about this."

"Okay." Seeing that Lu Qiang had made arrangements, Gu Chen said again:

"Another point."

Looking back at the direction of the ward, Gu Chen also turned around and said, "Old principal, it's very dangerous now."

"If the murderer knows that he is still alive and may wake up at any time, then the murderer will definitely find a way to come to the hospital and get rid of the old principal."

"So the situation on the old principal's side will be very dangerous. We must send out enough police to protect him 24 hours a day."

"Ah?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Qiang also suddenly realized:

"Yes, why did I forget about this? It doesn't matter. I will contact the leader now and report the situation here to the leader and ask him to send more people."

"Then it'll be hard work." Officer Wang said.

"That's right. I don't believe it. These people are so bold. How dare they come to the hospital to commit murder?"

"We have to be on guard." Officer Wang said.

"Yes, then send more manpower." After the words fell, Lu Qiang immediately took out his mobile phone and communicated with his leader again.

After a brief call, Lu Qiang hung up the phone and said with a smile on his face: "The leader has approved it. Someone will come over later to take over the security work here."

"Okay, very good." After listening to his old classmate's report, Officer Wang patted his shoulder and said with a sigh of relief:

“I’m really grateful to have old classmates here to help.”

"Haha, Brother Wang, who is following whom?"

……

The two of them also exchanged words with each other and began to tease each other.

After everyone finished lunch, Gu Chen stayed in the ICU ward throughout the afternoon, guarding the area around the ward together with the police sent by the Tai City Public Security Bureau.

Lu Qiang also arranged for personnel to go to the hospital monitoring room. Once it was discovered from the monitoring that a suspicious person approached Lao Mu's ICU ward, he would immediately notify the police stationed outside the ward.

Afterwards, these police officers will interview the suspicious person to find out their identity.

In the corridor outside the ward, Gu Chen was also cooperating with Lu Qiang and constantly communicating with the police in Hemu Village.

"What are you talking about? Still haven't seen those hikers coming down? No way? It's already afternoon. Aren't these people ready to come down?"

"What? Do we have to wait? Well, that's right. These people ran up the mountain secretly. Logically speaking, they wouldn't go down the mountain so quickly. It wouldn't be good if they were discovered by the villagers."

"It's very possible that these people will wait until after dark, and then quietly go down the mountain, coming and going without a trace."

"But I tell you, you must ambush me. Once you find these hikers coming down the mountain at night, immediately control these people and bring them back for tea."

After a pause, Lu Qiang continued: "Yes, everyone must verify their identity and background. Well, how should we do it? You should all know the process, so I don't need to explain it anymore. Well, I am still in the hospital and busy. .”

"Okay, I'll wait for your news, okay, then let's do this first, um."

After a hurried communication, Lu Qiang hung up the phone and sighed heavily.

Gu Chen, who was behind him, quickly asked: "Senior Brother Lu, how is the situation over there in Hemu Village?"

"Not good." When Lu Qiang heard Gu Chen's words, he shook his head and said helplessly:

"The city bureau has sent people, together with the fire rescue team, to conduct searches around Hemu Village, trying every possible means to find Yuan Shasha and Yanzi."

"In addition, our police have also stationed in Hemu Village and continue to talk to all the villagers in Hemu Village, trying to find some new clues, but so be it."

Speaking of this, Lu Qiang suddenly paused.

"They are the five hikers on the mountain. They haven't come down yet, right?" Gu Chen had heard the clue from Lu Qiang's call just now, so he asked him out of curiosity.

Lu Qiang nodded silently and sighed: "People over there told me that no one has seen it yet."

"When I thought about it, when these people went up the mountain, they were also sneaky and didn't want the villagers to see them."

"Then, these people will definitely not go down the mountain in broad daylight. They will definitely have to wait until dark, then sneak through Hemu Village and go down the mountain directly on foot."

After walking back and forth twice, Lu Qiang continued: "But, you said that the three people with the scars on the back of their faces may need to go around a long mountain road, and maybe they will go down the mountain at night."

"But the two people who camped at the waterfall with us are very close to Hemu Village. They don't need to wait until dark, right?"

"Maybe you're also afraid of being bumped into by the villagers?" Gu Chen said.

"Maybe." Lu Qiang sighed and took out his cigarette with him.

After seeing the "No Smoking" warning sign on the aisle, he silently put the cigarette back into his pocket.

Gu Chen also patted Lu Qiang on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Brother Lu, if you want to smoke, just go out and smoke. We are here to guard you. Don't worry."

"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Qiang also smiled and said:

"I've become addicted to cigarettes. It's really uncomfortable. Then I'll go out and smoke a cigarette. I'll be back in a while."

"it is good."

After a brief communication with Lu Qiang, Lu Qiang took the cigarette and walked towards the end of the aisle.

And Gu Chen also started to turn back towards the ward.

When Gu Chen pushed away the ICU ward, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were lying next to the old wooden hospital bed.

Seeing Gu Chen come in, Lu Weiwei also waved to Gu Chen.

"What's going on?" When Gu Chen saw this, he also lowered his voice and hurriedly walked to Lu Weiwei's side.

Lu Weiwei reminded in a low voice: "Lao Mumu spoke just now. He kept talking for a while, but I just don't know what he was talking about?"
