I am a super cop

Of course Gu Chen could see that there seemed to be a strange relationship between Lao Mumu and Yanzi.

Especially when Yanzi came back this time, Gu Chen also inquired from many sources and found that the person called "Old Wood" in the village actually had the most contact with Yanzi.

It is impossible not to doubt Lao Mu.

But now, Gu Chen already knows that Lao Mumu is Yanzi's biological father.

But it seems that there are still many unresolved issues between the two.

Thinking of what Lao Mumu said just now, Gu Chen quickly asked him: "You said that Yan Zi came back this time to solve something, what is it?"

"I don't know." Lao Mumu shook his head.

"Then what is your premonition?" Gu Chen asked again.

However, this time, Lao Mu was suddenly silent.

Lu Weiwei looked confused and continued to ask: "Old wood, if you think about it again, what did Yanzi say to you when he came back?"

"What did you say?" After a pause, Lao Mumu squinted his eyes and thought, and then slowly said:

"I remember that when Yanzi came back this time, as usual, he found me, said hello to me, and gave me some supplements."

"Because Yanzi and I have a teacher-student relationship, every time she comes back, she will buy me something. This is normal."

"But this time, I saw some subtle changes in the expression Yanzi looked at me."

"Have you seen a change in your eyes?" Hearing what Lao Mu said, Officer Wang was stunned and said quickly:

"Isn't this Yan Zi already aware of the fact that you are her father?"

"Impossible." When Officer Wang asked about this, Lao Mumu also denied it and said:

"No one knows about this matter. Only her mother and I know."

"Where is Yanzi's biological mother now? Do you know?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The old wood shook his head.

"Have you never looked for her in all these years?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

Lao Mumu had tears in his eyes and choked with sobs as he said, "I would like to find her, but I don't have any news about her."

"Yanzi's mother has disappeared since she entrusted Yanzi to me. I went to the Education Bureau and asked someone to inquire about her whereabouts."

"The result that can be obtained is that there is no result."

Having said this, Lao Mumu sighed heavily and said helplessly:

"I know that she may never want to see me again in her life, and I also know that I am ashamed of her."

"But Yanzi is her daughter after all, and I also want them to meet her, so as my old friend, I can take her to meet Yanzi."

After saying this, Lao Mumu closed his eyes, tears falling directly along the corners of his eyes.

After sniffing, Lao Mumu continued to regret: "I have been asking for news about Yanzi's mother for so many years, but to no avail."

"In the end, I gave up. I didn't want to bother anymore. As long as Yanzi lived well, I didn't care."

"But this time, the way Yanzi looked at me made me feel guilty."

"Why? Why do you feel guilty?" Lu Qiang on the side was also very curious when he heard what Lao Mu said.

But Lao Mumu sighed: "I don't know either. I always feel that Yan Zi knows something? But I'm not sure?"

"This feeling is very subtle. Later, I even asked Yanzi indirectly, why does it feel different when I come back this time?"

"I also asked her if she wanted to stay with more people this time."

"Then what did she say?" Lu Qiang asked.

"She said, stay for a few days, and then take a rest before going back to work." After sniffing, Lao Mumu tried hard to remember, and continued:

"She chatted about various things and talked a lot. After all, she brought her friends here, so they talked more among themselves."

"You mean, Yanzi talked a lot with Xiao Yuan?" Lu Weiwei heard this and quickly asked.

Seeing Lao Mumu nodding in recognition, Lu Weiwei took a step forward and continued:

"Then what did they say between them? Did they say the purpose of coming here this time?"

"I told you." Seeing Lu Weiwei's urgency, Lao Mu said slowly:

"Yanzi told her friend that this is where she lived since she was a child, and introduced her to many things here."

"I also said that when I come here this time, he is the host, and your Yuan Shasha is the guest."

"As the owner, Yanzi wants to take her around, that's all."

After saying this, Lao Mumu also sighed and didn't seem to give much information.

Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of the hospital bed with his hands behind his back. He was also curious and asked: "Is Yanzi coming back this time just to relax?"

"If that's the case, then it's nothing? But why? So many things happened as soon as the swallow came back?"

Thinking of those hikers, Gu Chen asked Lao Mumo again: "By the way, you know how many hikers usually go up this mountain, right?"

"This one……"

Seeing Gu Chen suddenly mention the issue of outdoor hikers, Lao Mumu hesitated and said slowly:

"I go out for a walk every morning and evening. I have encountered some, but I usually encounter very few people. In a month, maybe only a few people go up the mountain."

"But in summer, there are many people coming here to escape the heat, but in winter there are very few."

"How many people have been there this month?" Lu Weiwei heard this and quickly asked.

"This month?" After thinking for a few seconds, Lao Mumu slowly replied:

"I didn't notice many people going up this month. Maybe it was during the days when the swallows came back that suddenly a few groups of people went up the mountain."

"At first, I thought it was Yanzi who invited them here? After all, in our Hemu Village, very few people come here this season."

"But as soon as Yanzi came back, so many people came, so I couldn't ask more questions or say hello to them."

"Then how did they react when they saw you?" Officer Wang felt that the situation seemed not that simple, so he asked one more question.

On the other side, Lao Mumu, who was lying on the hospital bed, thought about it again and again before replying:

"When they saw me, they seemed a little embarrassed, and they seemed to be avoiding me on purpose."

"When I passed by these people, they turned their heads to prevent me from seeing them."

"Is that so?" Seeing that Lao Mumu had seen these hikers, Officer Wang quickly asked again:

"Then how many batches did they go up the mountain?"

"Three batches," Lao Mumu said casually.

Seeing that this time it was consistent with what everyone knew, Officer Wang quickly asked again:

"When did these people go up the mountain?"

"When did you go up the mountain?" Continuing to think, Lao Mumu looked at everyone with some embarrassment, and then explained:

"I remember that there were two people who went up the mountain after the swallows came back. The next two groups, one was a team of three people, and the other was a team of two people. They went up the mountain together."

"As for the time, maybe it will be within these two days."

"There is a man in a team of three. Does he have a scar on his face?" Seeing that what Lao Mumu said was true, Gu Chen quickly confirmed and texted him.

At this moment, Lao Mumu nodded silently and proactively admitted: "Yes, one of them does have scars on his face, but he didn't look directly at me and dodges his eyes when he sees me."

"I thought those two climbers were Yanzi's friends before, but later I found out that I seemed to be overthinking it."

"Then there are the remaining five people. It feels like they are just here to climb the mountain."

"It seems that it has nothing to do with Yanzi."

"Then don't you think it's strange?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Strange?" The old man was stunned for a moment, but after a moment, he recovered and quickly replied:

"It's strange, of course it's strange. As soon as the swallows came back, there were suddenly so many hiking enthusiasts at the entrance to the mountain in Hemu Village."

"Before this, it seemed to be quite rare. Even in this season, I feel very strange when one or two people come. But in the past few days, three groups of people have come."

With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu said helplessly: "After all, I know they are going to the mountain, but I can't care about them, and I don't want to care about it."

"And maybe they are afraid that I won't let them go up the mountain? So when they see me, they deliberately avoid it."

"And I just happen to pretend to be a sick old man, so everyone doesn't disturb each other."

"Okay." After learning the actual situation of these people from Lao Mumu, Gu Chen felt that this group of people seemed to have serious suspicions.

But thinking that the other party would kill Lao Mumu's injury, so Gu Chen asked him again.

"I know you have a lot to hide, but in fact, you have begun to open up your heart, at least tell us all the things you have experienced."

"From this point of view, I welcome it, but I think you should know something about the murderer who attacked you."

"I don't want you to hide anything. If you know, or you guess who is most likely, I hope you can tell us quickly so that we can investigate as soon as possible."

After Gu Chen finished speaking, the entire ward suddenly became quiet.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the old wood on the hospital bed.

But at this moment, Lao Mumu's eyes were confused, and his silence was a bit scary.

Seeing this, Gu Chen reminded him again: "Old principal, are you listening to me?"

"I heard it." After sighing, Lao Mumu also said slowly: "I was thinking just now, who attacked me? Why did he kill me?"

"I have thought about all this, but I really have no evidence to prove that the people who attacked me were those in our village."

"That means he might not be from your village?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Hmm." Lao Mumu said "Hmm" and said slowly:

"I know the people in our village. They just don't have much to talk to me about, but they will never hurt me."

"Are you so sure?" Seeing that Lao Mumu was still protecting the villagers, Gu Chen also asked:

"But the person who attacked you knows your Hemu Village very well. He even knows that there is a hidden cellar in the kitchen of that vacant old house."

"I know." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Lao Mumu also responded:

"I have thought about this, but I still don't believe it is the villagers who want to kill me."

"Because, if they want to kill me, they can actually do it many times."

"Then who do you think it will be?" Officer Wang saw that everyone's previous judgment was overturned by Lao Mu, and he was not in a good mood.

Lao Mumu hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I guess it may have something to do with the people in the village."

"For example, about the hidden cellar in the kitchen of the vacant old house, only people in our village know about this."

"But I don't know who in our village is colluding with outsiders? To murder me, I don't know."

Seeing the confused look on Old Mumu's face, it seemed that he was also confused.

Gu Chen didn't want to force him anymore.

After all, I already know too much about what I want to know from Lao Mumu.

But now, even Lao Mumu himself couldn't tell that there was no need for Gu Chen to cause him more troubles.

At least now, everyone still knows a little bit about it.

So, after everyone communicated with Lao Mumu for a while, they let him have a good rest.

After all, Lao Mu is still injured, especially the serious injury to his head, which has done a lot of damage to him.

Especially now that I am still living in the ICU ward.

While Gu Chen and others kept asking questions, a nurse also came in to check on the situation.

Moreover, the attending doctor came to inspect and asked Gu Chen and others to give Lao Mumu enough sleep time.

When they came to the aisle, Gu Chen and others sat on the seats in the aisle, everyone looked at each other.

It seems that the current investigation has once again reached a dead end.

"Have these hikers not been found yet? Aren't these people going down the mountain?" Lu Weiwei couldn't wait any longer, so she looked at Lu Qiang and asked again.

Lu Qiang was also upset, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and called.

Not long after, the call was connected, and Lu Qiang quickly asked: "How are you doing over there now? Have those who were hiking outdoors gone down the mountain?"

After a pause, Lu Qiang looked at Gu Chen and the others, his eyes filled with disbelief: "What? There's no one there yet?"

"No way? Is it because they have gone down the mountain and you didn't pay attention?"

"What? Impossible? You have been guarding the beginning and end of Hemu Village? Are you sure you can detect even a fly passing through?"

With a faint sigh, Lu Qiang also hummed and said with a smile: "Come on, don't tell me this. How about you ask the villagers to send someone out to be your guide and go into the mountain to find someone."

After a pause, Lu Qiang continued resolutely: "Yes, since you can't wait for anyone, then go into the mountains to find someone."

"There is a group of people camped right next to the waterfall. Yes, the journey is not very far. You go there, go there now, and you may be able to find them at night."

After a pause, Lu Qiang also stared: "What? Why are you in such a hurry? How can it not be urgent? We are so anxious." Sitting upright, Lu Qiang also continued with a commanding tone:

"I now seriously suspect that the guy who attacked the old man was the group of hikers. I seriously doubt that it was them."

"Especially since they refuse to show up now, I suspect they are hiding themselves out of fear of crime."

"I want to know now, are they still staying on the mountain? Or have they already gone down the mountain?"

"Anyway, I just want the result, which is to find these people. Yes, get it done right away."

After the words fell, Lu Qiang hung up the phone with a heavy voice. He also held the phone and waved it and said:

"This group of people, day by day, only know how to sit back and wait, and don't know how to send people over to search."

"Hasn't the fire rescue team been dispatched? Is there no news yet?" Lu Weiwei asked casually after hearing this.

Lu Qiang waved his hand: "There are only a few people from the fire rescue team. They mainly searched around the village and did not go to the top of the mountain."

"It is estimated that after this round of searches is over, they will consider going to the mountain, but right now, there is no news yet?"

"There is a problem, there is indeed a problem." As soon as Lu Qiang finished speaking, Gu Chen beside him also lowered his head and looked at his watch, and then said slowly:

"It is already 7 o'clock in the evening. Logically speaking, they should have gone down the mountain by this time."

"If they haven't appeared yet, there is only one possibility. They may not be on the mountain long ago, but quietly left Hemu Village."

"Ah?" Seeing Gu Chen say this, Lu Qiang's expression suddenly changed:

"Then what should we do if that's really the case?"

"Contact Director Liu of Baisui Peak Town and ask him to help. Investigate the people who passed through Hemu Village in the past two days, especially the hikers, and see if we can find any traces of them."

Seeing that Gu Chen had said this, Lu Qiang could only agree: "Okay, I will listen to you and I will call Liu Yuan right away."

Lifting up his phone, Lu Qiang started to contact him again.

Others were lying on seats in the aisle, waiting quietly.

At this moment, the two police officers responsible for guarding the ward also walked over from outside, carrying everyone's dinner in their hands.

Seeing everyone, he quickly distributed dinner to everyone.

The moment everyone got the lunch box, they immediately started devouring it without caring about the image.

After making the call, Lu Qiang also took back his phone, raised his right hand holding the phone to Gu Chen and others, and explained:

"Liu Yuan from Baisui Peak Town has agreed to help us coordinate the investigation. He will notify us as soon as possible if there is any situation."

"Okay, let's continue waiting." Gu Chen was calm enough.

Due to limited clues, the murderer who attacked Lao Mu has not been found.

The most important thing is that those hikers are now missing. This is a very fatal existence for Gu Chen.

Because, according to Lao Mumu's explanation, he didn't seem to agree at all that the people who attacked him were from the village.

But if the situation is really as what Lao Mu said, then these people who attacked Lao Mu are most likely those outdoor hikers.

Therefore, Gu Chen must know in detail the current specific location of these people.

It was endless waiting again, and a cold wind began to blow outside.

Lu Weiwei looked out the window at the big trees swaying in the wind, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

Yuan Shasha is missing, which affects everyone's hearts.

Now, there seems to be no trace of outdoor hikers.

In addition, Lao Mumu was attacked and the murderer could not be determined yet. All the unknowns made everyone feel uneasy.

Time passed by, and when the time came to 9:20 pm, everyone sitting in the corridor, squinting and resting, was suddenly awakened by a phone ringing.

When everyone opened their eyes, Lu Qiang had already taken out his mobile phone, quickly opened the answer button, and whispered: "What's going on?"

After a moment, Lu Qiang suddenly said loudly, "Ah? Are you sure? Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Seeing that Lu Qiang's tone became high-pitched, everyone at this moment turned their attention to Lu Qiang.

And Lu Qiang stood still, walking back and forth on the aisle, saying "hmm" constantly, and seemed to be surprised by the situation.

"Okay, I understand. You continue the search first, and we will discuss it later. Well, let's do this for now. Thank you for your hard work, brothers."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Qiang sighed heavily, his eyes full of confusion.

"Senior Brother Lu, what's wrong? Is there any news about those outdoor hikers?" Seeing Lu Qiang's frown, Gu Chen quickly asked him.

Lu Qiang walked back to Gu Chen and sighed:

"My colleagues and others have already called in the villagers to act as guides and asked the villagers to take them up the mountain to find the waterfall."

"However, the waterfall has been found, and the tent has also been found. It is consistent with the situation we met last time, there are two tents."

"Then what?" Lu Weiwei quickly asked.

"Then? Everything is still there, including hiking bags, hiking poles, anyway, all kinds of outdoor equipment are still there, but the people are not there."

"No one is here?" When he heard this result, Officer Wang suddenly had an ominous premonition and quickly asked:

"That means the two outdoor hikers who helped us lead the way abandoned their equipment and left there?"

"I don't know." Lu Qiang shook his head and continued:

"My colleagues told me that everything on site was there, including the power bank placed in the tent."

After thinking about it, Lu Qiang added: "Oh, by the way, the only thing that's not there is the mobile phone. The two of them should be carrying the mobile phone with them."

"Are there any suspicious signs at the scene?" Gu Chen asked quickly.

Lu Qiang was stunned and tried to remember.

After a moment, he slowly said: "By the way, there doesn't seem to be any suspicious traces at the scene."

"They also checked it specially, fearing that something bad happened to them, but the result was that everything was intact and there were no signs of fighting at the scene."

"So, those two people, maybe that night, after we came down the mountain, they moved forward lightly, followed us secretly, and came to Hemu Village together."

"Then, after we left Hemu Village, we attacked Lao Mu?"

Lu Weiwei also made a direct analysis based on the situation of Lao Mumu being attacked.

Lu Qiang hesitated a little, then spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure about this, but the current situation is that the person is gone and everything is still there."

Walking back and forth in front of Gu Chen, Lu Qiang also looked puzzled:

"Logically speaking, these two experienced outdoor hikers have no reason to give up all their equipment. They didn't even take away the charger. It's really suspicious."

"Especially, their equipment is very expensive. If they just leave it beside the waterfall, aren't they afraid of being picked up?"

"It's not that they didn't want to take it away, they must have encountered some emergency."

As soon as Lu Qiang finished speaking, Gu Chen directly answered.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Gu Chen.

Lu Weiwei also quickly asked: "Junior Brother Gu, what do you think? Did something really happen to these two people?"

"High probability." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen replied:

"And I suspect that the man with scars on his face may be related to the disappearance of the two hikers who set up tents near the waterfall."

"Because we separated at the ridgeline, we followed the two hikers and came to the waterfall together."

"But for the other three people, they can definitely turn back, because until now, we don't have any news about those three people."

"Maybe he's still on the mountain?" Officer Wang said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "There is a possibility, but if the person is not found, the possibility is still low."

"After all, staying longer in the mountains will consume huge amounts of supplies."

"Moreover, when we saw the three hikers, I took a special look at their equipment."

"It can be said that apart from camping equipment, they don't have many supplies in their bags."

After thinking about it, Gu Chen quickly looked at Lu Qiang and asked, "By the way, Senior Brother Lu, did your colleagues find any food when they checked the tents over the waterfall?"

"No." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Qiang quickly replied:

"My colleague told me in detail that there were only tents and some daily necessities on site, including chargers, which still had 30% power."

"They didn't find anything at the scene other than those things."

"I didn't even bring any food." When he heard Lu Qiang's answer, Officer Wang frowned and said slowly:

"Could it be that these two people were really attacked by three other people?"

"Did those three people wait until these two people were asleep before attacking? Then they went down the mountain to Hemu Village and attacked Lao Mu?"

After his words fell, there was no reaction at all.

Officer Wang said angrily: "Can you give me some advice?"

"How can we give an opinion without evidence? Now we can only speculate." Lu Weiwei said.

Officer Wang sighed and quickly turned his attention to Gu Chen: "Gu Chen, what do you think?"

"It's hard for me to judge, at least there is no evidence to support it now." Gu Chen said.

When Officer Wang heard this, he felt like a deflated rubber ball that suddenly deflated. He also said in a bad mood:

"Are we just going to stay here forever?"

"No." Officer Wang finished his words, and Gu Chen stood up and said righteously:

"I think we should return to Hemu Village immediately to see what's going on there?"

"Especially, the two travelers who set up tents near the waterfall, as well as the two other travelers, have not shown up yet. I think these people are very suspicious."

Walking back and forth in front of everyone, Gu Chen also continued:

"Nothing is impossible now. We must do everything we can to find these two groups of people."

"Yes, he disappeared suddenly. How come he is the same as Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi? It's really strange." Lu Weiwei also felt a little confused.

But this statement made Gu Chen's eyes light up.

Gu Chen quickly looked at Lu Weiwei and asked: "Senior Sister Lu, what did you just say?"

"Ah?" Lu Weiwei, who was a little unresponsive, also looked at Gu Chen with a confused expression.

Officer Wang said casually: "Gu Chen, let me ask you, what did you just say?"

"Oh." Lu Weiwei, whose reaction was a little slow, quickly recalled and said slowly:

"I asked, why did these outdoor hikers suddenly disappear? How could they just disappear like Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi?"

"Yes." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, Gu Chen also shook his fingers and said involuntarily:

"That's right, how could they suddenly disappear? Especially the two travel friends who helped us, they didn't even bring their own equipment and just disappeared."

"There are three other travel companions, why haven't they appeared yet? How is their silent disappearance different from the disappearance of Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi?"

They were stunned by Gu Chen's words. Everyone looked at each other and seemed to make sense.

Lu Weiwei said slowly: "So, in fact, they are also related to the disappearance of Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi?"

"We're not sure yet." Gu Chen shook his fingers, walked up to the crowd, and then said:

"However, I always feel that there seems to be a secret on the mountain of Centenary Peak."

"At least for now, Yanzi brought Xiao Yuan here, and then those outdoor climbers came one after another."

"Then, Lao Mumu was killed, and the group of outdoor hikers, like Yan Zi and Xiao Yuan, disappeared into the forest."

"I always feel that they should still be in the mountains, just trapped somewhere."

"Is it so evil?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Qiang was stunned and said, "Did you meet a ghost to break the wall? But I haven't heard of it for so many years. What is there in this Centenary Peak?"

"That doesn't mean there isn't one? Didn't you say that? Didn't Hemu Village of Centennial Peak escape from the war in the north?"

"Moreover, ever since I entered Hemu Village, I have been curious about the buildings and symbols in Hemu Village. It always feels weird."

Lu Weiwei also recounted her impressions of Hemu Village.

Gu Chen's eyes lit up and he said thoughtfully: "By the way, do you still remember the strange patterns on the buildings we saw when we first entered Hemu Village?"

"Strange pattern?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Wang scratched his cheek and thought thoughtfully:

"From what you Gu Chen said, it seems like there is one, right? I even remember that we discussed it together at the time, and I thought these patterns were a bit interesting."

"Yes, if this is a cultural inheritance, then what does it mean?"

"Because Hemu Village seems different from other villages. It has its own unique style in terms of architecture. Moreover, this village is relatively primitive and has a history."

Gu Chen crossed his arms and continued to think about himself:

"A village like this has hundreds of years of history, so the first people who came here to live and work in peace and contentment must have had their culture, or in other words, left something behind for this village? And these patterns may be the answer to solving these mysteries key."
