Chapter 1902 Men in Black [2 in 1 Chapter]
Chapter 1902 The Man in Black 【Two Chapters in One】
"I think?" Although Gu Chen is already used to asking himself about Police Officer Wang's indecision, it is difficult for Gu Chen to answer this question at this time.
After closing the documents in front of him, Gu Chen took out a sticky note, and then began to write the names of Wan Xiaomin, Lu Yuan, Xu Zhe and Hu Ming on it.
Gu Chen first circled Wan Xiaomin and Xu Zhe, and said, "These two people have disappeared."
Afterwards, Gu Chen circled Lu Yuan again and said, "This person was not at the scene last night."
Looking up at Police Officer Wang, Gu Chen asked again: "Senior Brother Wang, how do you feel now?"
"Isn't there only Hu Ming left?" Officer Wang crossed his arms and said hesitantly:
"However, after Hu Ming left the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory alone last night, he never went back. He has proof of his alibi. He stayed at the Wangjiang Hotel until we approached him."
"But from the timeline, Hu Ming does have conditions." Gu Chen saw that Police Officer Wang was still insisting on his own opinion, so he drew a timeline under the names of everyone.
Starting from the far left, mark the specific time in turn, and muttered in his mouth:
"Assuming that Ah Zhe is the mysterious person, then after meeting Wan Xiaomin last night, he came out of Sanyuan Lane at around 6:50, and then went to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory in advance."
"Then, I now assume that Xu Zhe is the first person among all the people to go to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city."
Mark this information on the timeline, and then, Gu Chen started writing again.
"Then there are Hu Ming and Wan Xiaomin. They were eating next to us at the dining place, but they left a little earlier than us."
"The time they arrived at the family area of Chengxi Chemical Plant was obviously later than that of Ah Zhe."
After marking the time of Wan Xiaomin and Hu Ming, Gu Chen drew another timeline, and then marked down the specific whereabouts of Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan is another matter. He was with Zhuang Ke all night last night, and from the point of view of time, there is no problem."
"So, in fact, Lu Yuan has nothing to do with the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory."
"Gu Chen, what do you mean, this disappearance case actually happened between Wan Xiaomin, A Zhe, and this Hu Ming?" Officer Wang seemed to see the problem from the timeline, so he couldn't help asking curiously. Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It can be understood in this way. I think so. If Wan Xiaomin was kidnapped by Ah Zhe, why did Ah Zhe play disappear? This is not logical."
"Besides, Ah Zhe still has business in his hands, and his partner specifically told him that he must go to the stall to pick up new products early this morning, but he is not even around."
"You know, only Xu Ping and Ah Zhe have the key to the 'Zheping Trading' stall."
"Xu Ping needs to rest after a busy night, so he will definitely not go to the stall the next day. The opening of the door must be left to Zhe."
"But if Ah Zhe doesn't show up, the entire stall will not be able to open, which will inevitably cause chaos."
After a pause, Gu Chen took a deep breath, and said again: "So I also saw it when Senior Sister Lu and I went to the stall today. It was a mess, and it had to be the stall staff. Call Xu Ping and ask Xu Ping to come over. open the door."
"En." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang also nodded silently, and said with some hesitation:
"So, in fact, there is no need for Azhe to disappear. If Wan Xiaomin was kidnapped by Azhe, he can go back to the stall after dealing with Wan Xiaomin's affairs, open the door, and receive new goods. , but he didn't do it."
"If Ah Zhe disappears, the business and operation of the stall will be in a mess."
Arms crossed his chest, Police Officer Wang slowly leaned back on the seat, shook his head and sighed, "So, Ah Zhe's disappearance, like Wan Xiaomin's disappearance, may have been caused by another person?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly.
"Who could it be? But among these few people, Hu Ming has been to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city, but Hu Ming is the only one who is fine, but Hu Ming has an alibi?"
"Senior Brother Wang." Just as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen reminded, "What if Hu Ming kidnapped Wan Xiaomin and A Zhe before he left?"
"What did you say?" Also startled by Gu Chen's bold reasoning, Police Officer Wang quickly regained his composure.
After a while, Officer Wang also said slowly: "Hu Ming? Hu Ming did come out of the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city alone, and he also took a taxi home alone."
"Then you were monitoring on the side of the road, did you see Wan Xiaomin?" Gu Chen asked him.
Officer Wang shook his head: "That's not true. I just saw Hu Ming coming out alone, and then took a taxi to leave. Wan Xiaomin was still at the iron signboard waiting for the bus, which belongs to the blind spot of roadside surveillance."
"That's just Hu Ming's one-sided remarks, because Hu Ming told us that it was Wan Xiaomin who said he was going to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of Chengxi, but what if it was him?"
"Now that Wan Xiaomin is missing and can't be found, he, Hu Ming, can say so. In this way, he may also be cleared of suspicion."
"Uh...this..."
Hearing Gu Chen say this, Police Officer Wang's brain was buzzing immediately, and he couldn't help but say, "Although what you said makes sense, after Wan Xiaomin sent Hu Ming away, he went to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory by himself. Eyewitnesses..."
"But what about witnesses lying?"
Before Police Officer Wang could finish speaking here, Gu Chen added.
When he said this, Police Officer Wang felt terrified at the thought, and asked with a frown, "Gu Chen, do you suspect that old lady is lying?"
Gu Chen didn't reply right away, but lay back on the seat, looked up at the lights on the ceiling and said:
"I don't know if this reasoning is correct now? But if the disappearance this time mainly revolves around Wan Xiaomin, Azhe and Hu Ming, then now that Wan Xiaomin and Azhe are missing at the same time, the biggest suspect is obviously Hu Ming .”
"But Hu Ming's explanation was flawless, and there were witnesses. After Hu Ming returned to the hotel, he never came out again."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen also slowly said: "Everything seems reasonable, but it's because it's so reasonable that it makes me feel a little strange."
"Why did Wan Xiaomin live in peace before Hu Ming came to Jiangnan City, but when he appeared, Wan Xiaomin disappeared?"
"And not only Wan Xiaomin, but also Xu Zhe disappeared. Can I understand this? Last night, Hu Ming, Wan Xiaomin and Azhe actually went to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city."
"In the end, Hu Ming kidnapped Azhe and Wan Xiaomin, or murdered them, and then pretended to come out alone."
"But among them, if Hu Ming wants to get rid of his suspicion, he needs an eyewitness to prove the truth for him. Then this eyewitness is also the key person in this case, and that is this white-haired old lady."
"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said so clearly, Police Officer Wang suddenly realized:
"If the old lady is lying, if Wan Xiaomin didn't send Hu Ming out and turned back by himself, then the whole case seems to be developing in a completely different direction."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang said again: "If this is the case, then this Hu Ming is the biggest suspect."
Thinking of this, Police Officer Wang slammed his right fist on his left palm, hesitated for a moment, and said involuntarily:
"But what is the reason for this old lady to lie? Or is it that the old lady saw something terrible? And at the same time, Hu Ming discovered it."
"But out of the need for a witness to prove his innocence, Hu Ming threatened the old lady and asked the old lady to give false testimony for him?"
After the words fell, Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen again.
But Gu Chen recalled slowly: "Actually, when we went to the scene to investigate yesterday, I found that Hu Ming has been next to the old lady."
"Although the old lady spoke calmly, she was a little nervous."
"At first I thought it was normal for her to be a little nervous because we were wearing police uniforms and there were so many police officers surrounding her questioning her."
"But if, I mean if, if Hu Ming was standing next to him at that time, and she knew something about Hu Ming, then...the old lady's nervousness may have come from Hu Ming beside him."
"Yes." Officer Wang snapped his fingers and said involuntarily:
"It's entirely possible. If the witness, the old lady, lied, then all assumptions are invalid. Hu Ming is the biggest suspect."
Taking a long breath, Police Officer Wang said again: "But why did the old lady do this? Was she threatened or what? But what if Hu Ming wants to kill people to silence her?"
It was also when Police Officer Wang said this that the two suddenly looked at each other at the same time, and immediately realized that they almost said in unison: "Not good!"
Without much communication, Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang quickly picked up the documents on the table and rushed out of the interrogation room.
Afterwards, after taking off the single police equipment in the office, the two rushed down the stairs at the fastest speed, and rushed directly towards the police car with the license plate ending in AE86.
After getting into the car, Gu Chen quickly started the car.
After the wheels rubbed on the spot for a few laps, they quickly rushed out of the carport, drove directly out of the parking compound of the Furong Sub-bureau, and merged into the vast night.
Because it was night, there were not many vehicles on the road, so Gu Chen speeded up and rushed towards the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city at the fastest speed.
Officer Wang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also took out his mobile phone and called He Junchao.
Not long after, the call was connected, and Police Officer Wang immediately asked: "He Junchao, do you know Hu Ming's whereabouts?"
"I'm watching." After a pause, He Junchao's reply came from the other end of the phone: "I checked the surveillance, and after Hu Ming entered the Wangjiang Hotel at 7 p.m., he hasn't come out until now."
"Then what did he do when he went out?" Gu Chen, who was driving, also asked out of the blue because Officer Wang was driving a hands-free car.
"What exactly did you do? Just wander around and go to the store to buy some things, like some stationery or something."
"We visited a stationery store?" Police Officer Wang asked.
"That's right, a stationery store." He Junchao said.
Gu Chen was also thoughtful, and slowly said: "This Hu Ming is here on a business trip to collect debts, but so far, he has not made any progress in his work. Instead, he is gathering with his old classmates."
"Yeah, what the hell is this guy doing?" Officer Wang was also puzzled.
"Then do I need to keep an eye on it?" He Junchao asked on the phone.
"Keep an eye on it." Officer Wang took a deep breath, and said in a bad mood, "Keep an eye on this guy, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble."
"clear."
On the phone, several people also explained a few words to each other, then both hung up the phone.
Police officer Wang took back the phone, looked at Gu Chen wonderingly, and said, "I said Gu Chen, could it be that we made a mistake? This Hu Ming seems to have been staying at the Wangjiang Hotel all the time, and he hasn't been out much."
"It's best not to go out." Gu Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said involuntarily: "If we don't go out, we can chat with this old lady alone."
After dispelling the predicted crisis, the two speeded up the car, but because it was too late, it was already 1:[-] in the morning when they arrived at the family area of Chengxi Chemical Plant.
After parking the police car at the balcony door of the old building, Gu Chen and Officer Wang quickly got out of the car, but closed the door as quietly as possible, for fear of disturbing the only few families here.
Since the old lady lives on the first floor, and in this kind of old building, the balcony on the first floor is just a decoration, and there is no such thing as a basement.
As long as you step over the guardrail, you will be on the flat ground outside. Therefore, many residents living on the first floor will open an opening in the guardrail and build a step, so that they can go outside directly from the balcony of their home.
This is also the earliest building structure in the old family area.
"That's right here." Officer Wang pointed to the door of the balcony, and said involuntarily, "The old lady seems to live alone."
"Let's go in through the main entrance." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang nodded silently, and then, together with Gu Chen, walked around to the entrance of the unit, walked up two steps, and came to the gate on the first floor.
Afterwards, Gu Chen knocked on the door three times and said, "Old lady, are you home?"
Seeing that the house was as quiet as before, Gu Chen knocked on the door three more times and continued, "Old lady, are you home?"
Seeing that Gu Chen knocked on the door too gently, but there was no response from inside the room, Police Officer Wang immediately pushed Gu Chen aside, and said with a smile: "In this situation, don't be afraid of disturbing the people, just knock on the door and focus on it."
As soon as the voice fell, Officer Wang slammed the door three times and said loudly: "Old lady, we are the police who came to your place during the day, and I want to check with you on something, please open the door." ?”
After the words fell, seeing that there was still no movement in the house, Police Officer Wang was speechless and said, "Aren't you at home?"
"But the clothes hanging on the balcony are still dripping." Gu Chen saw just now that the clothes hanging on the balcony seemed to have just been washed, so they were still dripping, and the floor of the balcony was also wet.
Officer Wang was a little puzzled and said, "Could it be that the old lady deliberately didn't want to open the door?"
"No way? We all knocked on the door so loudly, even if we slept soundly, we could at least hear a little noise, right?" Gu Chen also felt very curious.
But when the two were guessing, there was a muffled sound of "boom" in the house.
Although the movement was small, both Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang heard it because the surrounding environment was relatively quiet.
Officer Wang also smiled and said, "Maybe he's already awake, knock on the door again."
As soon as the voice fell, Police Officer Wang continued to slam the door three times and said, "Old lady, we are the policemen who came to your place during the day, please open the door? We have something to ask you, open the door." How about a door?"
While speaking, Officer Wang continued to slam the door three times with "bang bang bang".
However, after the door was smashed, the two of them stuck to the door to listen to the movement again, but suddenly found that there seemed to be some movement in the direction of the balcony.
"Could it be that the old lady went to the balcony to open the door?" Police Officer Wang was a little puzzled.
But Gu Chen quickly became alert, and said slowly: "It doesn't make sense? We knock on the door here, but if the old lady doesn't come here to open the door, what's the point of running to the balcony to open the door?"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also said curiously: "Well, I'll go to the balcony to have a look. Senior Brother Wang will stay here. After I go in later, I'll open the door for you, so as to save you another trip."
"Forget it, I'll go." Officer Wang patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, walked out of the unit building, and started to go around the building, preparing to go to the balcony.
Gu Chen stood quietly at the door, continuing to wait.
However, not long after, Gu Chen suddenly heard a "stop", and then heard the sound of running.
Gu Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately ran out of the apartment building.
At this moment, I saw a black shadow running quickly towards the inside of the family area, followed by Police Officer Wang who was also chasing after him.
Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately rushed over.
Officer Wang's physical strength was obviously inferior to that of the man in black. After chasing him for a while, the gap gradually widened. He was supported by Gu Chen who came from behind, and hurriedly asked:
"Senior Brother Wang, what's going on?"
"This guy sneaked out from the direction of the balcony. I was really going to ask him, but he just ran away."
"Not good." Gu Chen suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "The old lady is still at home."
Officer Wang was stunned when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized: "No, this guy may be targeting the old lady."
"Senior Brother Wang, go back and have a look, leave this person to me." Gu Chen also pushed Police Officer Wang back to the direction of the unit building.
But Officer Wang stopped him and said, "Gu Chen, it's too dangerous for you to do this, wait until I call for help."
"It's too late, let's see what's going on with the old lady, hurry up." Gu Chen didn't care too much at the moment, pushed Officer Wang back again, and ran quickly in the direction where the man in black disappeared.
Police officer Wang hesitated for a few seconds, feeling a bit in a dilemma at the moment.
But thinking that the old lady in the room might need help, so after struggling, she also let out a "harm", and then turned back and ran towards the balcony of the unit building.
"Screw rustle!"
The man in black who easily slipped through the metal fence rushed into the ruins of the chemical plant in an instant and began to run fast.
And Gu Chen followed closely behind.
Due to too much time wasted just now, the gap between Gu Chen and the man in black is a bit big.
But even so, due to the many open perspectives in the ruins, Gu Chen was able to lock on to the target and pursue him closely.
Among the weeds and rubble, it seemed difficult to escape quickly in this area.
If you are not careful, your hands and feet will be scratched.
And the ground is extremely uneven, making it very difficult to run.
But even so, Gu Chen can use his master-level observation skills to carefully avoid obstacles.
However, since the other party seemed to know the environment quite well, it was also extremely light to run, so Gu Chen's pursuit with the man in black in the ruins seemed to be of no advantage at all.
"Is it the direction of the secret passage?"
Seeing that the man in black had a clear goal and was heading directly towards the secret passage dictated by Hu Ming, Gu Chen suddenly stopped and began to observe from side to side.
The goal of the man in black was the secret passage, but due to the various raised stones in the ruins, the terrain became extremely complicated.
However, Gu Chen found that the area on the left is a bit flat. Although it takes a long way to go around the secret passage, it also takes a lot of time to run through the ruins.
So in Gu Chen's mind, after a brief calculation based on his running speed, he found that it would save a lot of time compared to walking through the ruins.
"It's right here." Without hesitation, Gu Chen immediately started running towards the left.
With a leap, Gu Chen came to the flat area, and then began to quickly rush out towards the flat weed pile, making a detour to the entrance of the secret passage.
On the other side, the man in black almost ran wildly all the way through the force of nine bulls and two tigers, and his hands and feet were scratched by sharp ruined stones on the way.
But even so, it couldn't stop the determination of the man in black to escape.
Just when the man in black passed through the ruins in a straight line and stood on the last damaged wall, the man in black took two heavy breaths and looked behind him panting.
However, when the man in black observed vigilantly, he found that the policeman who had been chasing him all the way just now disappeared suddenly.
The man in black was startled, and quickly looked around.
Then at this moment, it seems that there is no trace of the police.
Without thinking too much, the man in black also understood the truth of "this place is not suitable to stay for a long time", so he jumped off the last broken wall and came to the flat weedy field, just about to get into the secret passage to escape.
However, he suddenly discovered that there was a sound of "rusting" grass and trees rubbing on the left side, and the rubbing speed was extremely fast.
In the dark night, with the help of the faint moonlight, the man in black vaguely noticed that a man in police uniform was coming around from the left area, and was rushing towards him with all his strength.
The man in black took two steps back in fright, turned around and ran away, and burrowed into the weeds in the secret passage.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
When Gu Chen came to the weed pile in the secret passage, he stopped in an instant, and his legs almost slid to the entrance of the secret passage.
He took two heavy breaths, but there was no specific whereabouts of the man in black.
Since Gu Chen has been here once, he has a little understanding of this weed that is taller than a person.
The distribution area here is very large, and judging from the distance the man in black escaped just now, it seems impossible for the man in black to cross the weeds in a short time.
"But why is there suddenly no movement?" Gu Chen suddenly became alert and couldn't help but listen quietly.
However, at this moment, a breeze was blowing, and the weeds that were taller than a person were blown by the breeze, making the already complicated environment suddenly become weird again.
In the weeds, there were all kinds of rustling movements one after another, and it was difficult to distinguish whether it was being blown by the wind or rubbed by the man in black.
At this moment, at the moment when Gu Chen was still hesitating, a cloud, with the breeze blowing, gradually blocked the moonlight above his head.
The scene suddenly dimmed, and this is a remote suburb, and there are no street lights around, which made the scene suddenly extremely dark.
"This guy should still be here, just hiding." Gu Chen took a deep breath, reminding himself inwardly.
After a short breathing adjustment, Gu Chen took out the strong flashlight from the police equipment, and instantly turned on the expansion mode.
In an instant, the entire area was illuminated by Gu Chen's strong police flashlight.
Afterwards, Gu Chen pulled out the mechanical baton from his waist and swung it vigorously.
Following the mechanical movement, the batons spread out in an instant.
After turning on the law enforcement recorder hung on the shoulder strap, Gu Chen held the strong flashlight in his left hand and the police baton in his right hand. He began to cautiously walk to the edge of the secret passage, and warned the weeds:
"I know you're hiding here, come out now."
After the tentative warning, there was no movement in the weed pile.
Gu Chen said again: "Who are you? What exactly do you want to do at the old lady's house? Also, was Wan Xiaomin kidnapped by you?"
After some questioning, there was still no movement in the weed pile.
Gu Chen knew that the other party didn't like this at all, so now he played hide and seek with him.
Because of this secret passage, there are many weeds, and they all grow taller than people.
It would be no problem to hide a dozen or so people inside.
It is precisely because Gu Chen knows the danger in this secret passage that Gu Chen will not rush in.
After all, the other party is in the dark, and you are in the light, and you will definitely suffer a loss if you go in. The best way at this time is to wait for support, and then surround the place.
At this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.
For the sake of safety, Gu Chen took the initiative to take a few steps back, then took out his phone and swiped the answer button.
"Gu Chen, what's the situation over there?" On the phone, Officer Wang also looked anxious.
"I'm hunting down the man in black, and I've come to the entrance of the secret passage. This guy may be hiding here. I need support now." Gu Chen said.
"Then you stay there first, don't go in hastily, I have already called for support, and colleagues will come over soon, you stabilize the situation, don't act rashly." Officer Wang on the phone also repeatedly urged.
What did Gu Chen suddenly think of?He hurriedly asked Police Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, what's the situation with the old lady?"
"The situation is not good." Officer Wang took a deep breath, and then said: "The old lady was strangled by this guy with a rope. When I rushed into the house, I was already unconscious and my breath was very weak."
"It can be said that if we arrive a little later, the old lady may be gone."
"Then what's the situation now?" Gu Chen asked.
"The situation is very bad. I have given artificial respiration to the old lady, but it seems to have little effect. Now I have called 120 and am waiting for the first aid to come."
"Then you pay attention to safety and keep in touch at any time."
"Row."
The two exchanged a few words, then both hung up the phone.
Since it is in an open area, the content of Gu Chen's phone call can actually be heard clearly by the man in black.
Of course, Gu Chen also knew that the man in black could hear it, so he continued to warn, "I know you're hiding inside, do you just want to be a turtle here?"
"My support will arrive soon. If you don't want to be surrounded, just come out obediently and catch me without a fight."
Gu Chen actually knew that the man in black who was hiding in the weeds was also very tangled.
If it continues like this, when the police support arrives and a large-scale search is launched, then hiding here is undoubtedly looking for death.
And Gu Chen's words just now are obviously giving the man in black a chance to surrender on his own initiative.
At this moment, the man in black seemed to be impatient and wanted to escape immediately.
The moment the man in black got up, there was a "swish" rubbing sound in the weed pile.
This movement quickly made Gu Chen outside lock his position.
Based on the previous experience of passing here, Gu Chen quickly conjured up a three-dimensional map in his mind.
And in the secret passage at this time, there is a flashing position, which is also the specific direction where the movement happened just now.
"So it's less than 10 meters away from me?"
After getting the location confirmation, Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer, and immediately turned off the bright flashlight.
Because of the moonlight at this time, it is still shrouded in clouds.
Therefore, the environment at the scene is still dim, and the line of sight is extremely poor.
But Gu Chen's eyesight is extremely poor, so why not the man in black?
Thinking that everyone is under the same conditions, Gu Chen feels that he is not at a disadvantage.
After all, the man in black seems to be very familiar with this secret passage, but Gu Chen has also been here before.
In particular, Gu Chen has a master-level memory, so the basic structure and routes in the secret passage are like a mirror in Gu Chen's heart.
When the two sides were evenly matched, Gu Chen thought for a few seconds before turning off the bright flashlight and preparing to enter the weed pile in the secret passage and capture the man in black alive.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
With various movements coming from the weed pile, the sound of Gu Chen rubbing against the weeds intertwined with the sound of the man in black rubbing against the weeds.
Both sides felt that the other was nearby, especially Gu Chen, who didn't walk towards the man in black's rubbing sound, but walked straight towards the exit of the secret passage.
Gu Chen knew very well that as long as he blocked the other party's way, the man in black would be trapped in the ruins of the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city.
As soon as the police's support arrived, the man in black became a shackle.
It was also based on this that the black-clothed person seemed a little irritable, eager to escape through the secret passage.
There was a rush of rushing in the weeds, both sides were coming and going, but when Gu Chen felt that the other party was approaching, the voice suddenly stopped.
Out of safety considerations, Gu Chen also stopped moving forward.
At this moment, Gu Chen realized that he had come to the depth of the secret passage.
The weeds and vines here almost covered the top of his head.
Even during the day, the sun is hard to come in.
Coupled with the fact that the moonlight was already weak and covered by clouds, Gu Chen felt that he had entered an unfavorable position.
Only then did I understand why the black shadow disappeared in this place after a while of ups and downs.
Gu Chen also suddenly realized that this guy just wanted to lure himself into this depth, so that he could duel with him here.
At this moment, the breeze was blowing, and all kinds of weeds began to make "swirling" friction movements again.
Gu Chen guarded the surroundings, raised his left hand again, and turned on the bright flashlight.
In an instant, the surrounding light was bright.
Holding a bright flashlight in his left hand, Gu Chen began to look around.
But when the flashlight shone on an area, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards the direction of the light source.
Since there wasn't much room to maneuver around, the opponent pounced on Gu Chen directly.
Gu Chen couldn't dodge in time, and was thrown into the weeds by the opponent.
In an instant, Gu Chen found a cold light flashing in front of his eyes, and a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in his sight.
"Shh!"
The man in black moved quickly and ruthlessly, stabbing directly at Gu Chen's forehead.
Gu Chen moved sensitively, but his head was only slightly turned to the right.
A cold light flashed directly from the corner of his eyes, and directly inserted into the soil beside his ears.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, the mechanical baton in his right hand directly greeted the man in black's forehead.
However, the man in black moved swiftly, dodged in one dodge, and pulled out the sharp blade stuck in the mud.
The two rolled on the spot in the weeds, and both returned to the fighting posture.
At this moment, the distance between the two was less than three meters, and Gu Chen's bright flashlight fell on the lawn beside him during the sneak attack of the man in black just now, and the light directly shone on the weeds.
But even so, Gu Chen can still use the peripheral light of the flashlight to observe the appearance of the other party.
It turned out that the other party was wearing a black suit and a black nylon headgear with elastic, a bit like the nylon headgear worn by racing drivers.
The other party only showed a pair of eyes, and the cheeks were painted with black camouflage, which made it impossible for Gu Chen to judge the other party's true identity through these eyes for a while.
"So professional?" Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, feeling that the other party should also be a practitioner, and seemed to have experience in jungle survival.
With regard to the strategy of luring himself as the "prey" just now, Gu Chen found out that he was taken to an absolutely unfavorable position by the other party only when he came to the middle of the weeds.
Therefore, he was successfully attacked by the opponent just now.
If it wasn't for his quick response, the knife just now might have directly taken his life away.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, feeling that the opponent's attack was really vicious.
It was almost a trick to kill, without any hesitation.
"Who the hell are you?" Gu Chen adjusted his breathing rhythm, and asked again.
But the other party seemed to have no intention of communicating with Gu Chen at all. After calming down for a while, he brandished his blade again and slashed at Gu Chen.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
One after another piercing sounds rang in Gu Chen's ears one after another.
Gu Chen fought and retreated, using the mechanical baton in his hand to defend.
No matter how the opponent attacked, Gu Chen always defended actively, and the blade slashed on the mechanical baton again and again.
Seeing this situation, the man in black was a little impatient. He took two steps back and got ready to fight again.
It seemed that Gu Chen was just delaying time, and in the fight between the man in black and Gu Chen just now, he found that Gu Chen's purpose was not to fight to the death with himself, but to kill the man in black while fighting and retreating. The escape route was blocked.
If Gu Chen hadn't blocked the exit of the secret passage before the fight just now, then now, Gu Chen has already stood on the only way of the secret passage during the fight with the man in black.
And if the man in black wanted to escape again at this moment, he had to pass Gu Chen's barrier first.
But obviously, the man in black also found that Gu Chen was not so easy to deal with.
Just now he made dangerous moves, but Gu Chen backed down and resolved them one by one.
It seems that his fighting skills are not inferior to his own, but he just wants to capture himself alive while avoiding injury.
When the man in black realized Gu Chen's cleverness, he was suddenly impatient.
In addition, at this moment, the man in black also vaguely heard the sound of sirens in the distance.
Although the distance is far away, it is constantly approaching.
Thinking of this, the man in black immediately started to step back, as if he wanted to return to the ruins from the entrance of the secret passage.
Of course, Gu Chen also guessed the other party's intentions, he didn't have the slightest advantage from him, and now he wants to escape from other places.
So after keeping a relatively safe distance from the man in black, the man in black retreated and Gu Chen stepped in.
As soon as the man in black entered, Gu Chen retreated.
Gu Chen now has a lot of time to consume with the man in black, as long as the support arrives, the man in black will definitely be a turtle in the urn.
However, after struggling for a few seconds, the man in black suddenly withdrew his legs and ran away.
"stop!"
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and rushed towards the man in black.
The two chased again among the weeds, but this time, Gu Chen discovered that the man in black was not taking the entrance path just now, but was heading straight towards another location in the weeds. past.
After a while, the surrounding area began to quiet down.
Standing in the weeds, Gu Chen suddenly fell into a state of confusion.
"Where did the man in black go? He was still here just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Gu Chen became alert again, feeling that the other party might be the same as last time, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and rushing over.
So Gu Chen was more careful this time, and did not move his position, but held a mechanical baton in a defensive posture.
Also listen attentively.
However, as time passed by every minute and every second, there was still no movement around.
Until Gu Chen discovered that there were several strong flashlights shining in the distance, Gu Chen knew that it was his own support who arrived.
"Junior Brother Gu, where are you, Junior Brother Gu?"
Among the crowd, Lu Weiwei had the loudest voice and walked in the front.
When Gu Chen heard this, he also yelled, "I'm here."
"Junior Brother Gu, are you alright?" Lu Weiwei's voice was getting closer and closer, and the beam of the bright flashlight kept passing over her head.
"I'm fine, but the man in black is lost." Gu Chen replied helplessly.
"Gu Chen, where is the man in black now? Is your place safe?" It was Officer Wang who spoke this time, and asked with concern.
"It's safe now, but where is the man in black? I don't know yet. You can approach me, but you must pay attention to safety." Gu Chen said.

(End of this chapter)
"I think?" Although Gu Chen is already used to asking himself about Police Officer Wang's indecision, it is difficult for Gu Chen to answer this question at this time.
After closing the documents in front of him, Gu Chen took out a sticky note, and then began to write the names of Wan Xiaomin, Lu Yuan, Xu Zhe and Hu Ming on it.
Gu Chen first circled Wan Xiaomin and Xu Zhe, and said, "These two people have disappeared."
Afterwards, Gu Chen circled Lu Yuan again and said, "This person was not at the scene last night."
Looking up at Police Officer Wang, Gu Chen asked again: "Senior Brother Wang, how do you feel now?"
"Isn't there only Hu Ming left?" Officer Wang crossed his arms and said hesitantly:
"However, after Hu Ming left the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory alone last night, he never went back. He has proof of his alibi. He stayed at the Wangjiang Hotel until we approached him."
"But from the timeline, Hu Ming does have conditions." Gu Chen saw that Police Officer Wang was still insisting on his own opinion, so he drew a timeline under the names of everyone.
Starting from the far left, mark the specific time in turn, and muttered in his mouth:
"Assuming that Ah Zhe is the mysterious person, then after meeting Wan Xiaomin last night, he came out of Sanyuan Lane at around 6:50, and then went to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory in advance."
"Then, I now assume that Xu Zhe is the first person among all the people to go to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city."
Mark this information on the timeline, and then, Gu Chen started writing again.
"Then there are Hu Ming and Wan Xiaomin. They were eating next to us at the dining place, but they left a little earlier than us."
"The time they arrived at the family area of Chengxi Chemical Plant was obviously later than that of Ah Zhe."
After marking the time of Wan Xiaomin and Hu Ming, Gu Chen drew another timeline, and then marked down the specific whereabouts of Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan is another matter. He was with Zhuang Ke all night last night, and from the point of view of time, there is no problem."
"So, in fact, Lu Yuan has nothing to do with the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory."
"Gu Chen, what do you mean, this disappearance case actually happened between Wan Xiaomin, A Zhe, and this Hu Ming?" Officer Wang seemed to see the problem from the timeline, so he couldn't help asking curiously. Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It can be understood in this way. I think so. If Wan Xiaomin was kidnapped by Ah Zhe, why did Ah Zhe play disappear? This is not logical."
"Besides, Ah Zhe still has business in his hands, and his partner specifically told him that he must go to the stall to pick up new products early this morning, but he is not even around."
"You know, only Xu Ping and Ah Zhe have the key to the 'Zheping Trading' stall."
"Xu Ping needs to rest after a busy night, so he will definitely not go to the stall the next day. The opening of the door must be left to Zhe."
"But if Ah Zhe doesn't show up, the entire stall will not be able to open, which will inevitably cause chaos."
After a pause, Gu Chen took a deep breath, and said again: "So I also saw it when Senior Sister Lu and I went to the stall today. It was a mess, and it had to be the stall staff. Call Xu Ping and ask Xu Ping to come over. open the door."
"En." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Police Officer Wang also nodded silently, and said with some hesitation:
"So, in fact, there is no need for Azhe to disappear. If Wan Xiaomin was kidnapped by Azhe, he can go back to the stall after dealing with Wan Xiaomin's affairs, open the door, and receive new goods. , but he didn't do it."
"If Ah Zhe disappears, the business and operation of the stall will be in a mess."
Arms crossed his chest, Police Officer Wang slowly leaned back on the seat, shook his head and sighed, "So, Ah Zhe's disappearance, like Wan Xiaomin's disappearance, may have been caused by another person?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly.
"Who could it be? But among these few people, Hu Ming has been to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city, but Hu Ming is the only one who is fine, but Hu Ming has an alibi?"
"Senior Brother Wang." Just as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen reminded, "What if Hu Ming kidnapped Wan Xiaomin and A Zhe before he left?"
"What did you say?" Also startled by Gu Chen's bold reasoning, Police Officer Wang quickly regained his composure.
After a while, Officer Wang also said slowly: "Hu Ming? Hu Ming did come out of the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city alone, and he also took a taxi home alone."
"Then you were monitoring on the side of the road, did you see Wan Xiaomin?" Gu Chen asked him.
Officer Wang shook his head: "That's not true. I just saw Hu Ming coming out alone, and then took a taxi to leave. Wan Xiaomin was still at the iron signboard waiting for the bus, which belongs to the blind spot of roadside surveillance."
"That's just Hu Ming's one-sided remarks, because Hu Ming told us that it was Wan Xiaomin who said he was going to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of Chengxi, but what if it was him?"
"Now that Wan Xiaomin is missing and can't be found, he, Hu Ming, can say so. In this way, he may also be cleared of suspicion."
"Uh...this..."
Hearing Gu Chen say this, Police Officer Wang's brain was buzzing immediately, and he couldn't help but say, "Although what you said makes sense, after Wan Xiaomin sent Hu Ming away, he went to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory by himself. Eyewitnesses..."
"But what about witnesses lying?"
Before Police Officer Wang could finish speaking here, Gu Chen added.
When he said this, Police Officer Wang felt terrified at the thought, and asked with a frown, "Gu Chen, do you suspect that old lady is lying?"
Gu Chen didn't reply right away, but lay back on the seat, looked up at the lights on the ceiling and said:
"I don't know if this reasoning is correct now? But if the disappearance this time mainly revolves around Wan Xiaomin, Azhe and Hu Ming, then now that Wan Xiaomin and Azhe are missing at the same time, the biggest suspect is obviously Hu Ming .”
"But Hu Ming's explanation was flawless, and there were witnesses. After Hu Ming returned to the hotel, he never came out again."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen also slowly said: "Everything seems reasonable, but it's because it's so reasonable that it makes me feel a little strange."
"Why did Wan Xiaomin live in peace before Hu Ming came to Jiangnan City, but when he appeared, Wan Xiaomin disappeared?"
"And not only Wan Xiaomin, but also Xu Zhe disappeared. Can I understand this? Last night, Hu Ming, Wan Xiaomin and Azhe actually went to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city."
"In the end, Hu Ming kidnapped Azhe and Wan Xiaomin, or murdered them, and then pretended to come out alone."
"But among them, if Hu Ming wants to get rid of his suspicion, he needs an eyewitness to prove the truth for him. Then this eyewitness is also the key person in this case, and that is this white-haired old lady."
"That's right." Hearing what Gu Chen said so clearly, Police Officer Wang suddenly realized:
"If the old lady is lying, if Wan Xiaomin didn't send Hu Ming out and turned back by himself, then the whole case seems to be developing in a completely different direction."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Police Officer Wang said again: "If this is the case, then this Hu Ming is the biggest suspect."
Thinking of this, Police Officer Wang slammed his right fist on his left palm, hesitated for a moment, and said involuntarily:
"But what is the reason for this old lady to lie? Or is it that the old lady saw something terrible? And at the same time, Hu Ming discovered it."
"But out of the need for a witness to prove his innocence, Hu Ming threatened the old lady and asked the old lady to give false testimony for him?"
After the words fell, Officer Wang looked at Gu Chen again.
But Gu Chen recalled slowly: "Actually, when we went to the scene to investigate yesterday, I found that Hu Ming has been next to the old lady."
"Although the old lady spoke calmly, she was a little nervous."
"At first I thought it was normal for her to be a little nervous because we were wearing police uniforms and there were so many police officers surrounding her questioning her."
"But if, I mean if, if Hu Ming was standing next to him at that time, and she knew something about Hu Ming, then...the old lady's nervousness may have come from Hu Ming beside him."
"Yes." Officer Wang snapped his fingers and said involuntarily:
"It's entirely possible. If the witness, the old lady, lied, then all assumptions are invalid. Hu Ming is the biggest suspect."
Taking a long breath, Police Officer Wang said again: "But why did the old lady do this? Was she threatened or what? But what if Hu Ming wants to kill people to silence her?"
It was also when Police Officer Wang said this that the two suddenly looked at each other at the same time, and immediately realized that they almost said in unison: "Not good!"
Without much communication, Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang quickly picked up the documents on the table and rushed out of the interrogation room.
Afterwards, after taking off the single police equipment in the office, the two rushed down the stairs at the fastest speed, and rushed directly towards the police car with the license plate ending in AE86.
After getting into the car, Gu Chen quickly started the car.
After the wheels rubbed on the spot for a few laps, they quickly rushed out of the carport, drove directly out of the parking compound of the Furong Sub-bureau, and merged into the vast night.
Because it was night, there were not many vehicles on the road, so Gu Chen speeded up and rushed towards the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city at the fastest speed.
Officer Wang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, also took out his mobile phone and called He Junchao.
Not long after, the call was connected, and Police Officer Wang immediately asked: "He Junchao, do you know Hu Ming's whereabouts?"
"I'm watching." After a pause, He Junchao's reply came from the other end of the phone: "I checked the surveillance, and after Hu Ming entered the Wangjiang Hotel at 7 p.m., he hasn't come out until now."
"Then what did he do when he went out?" Gu Chen, who was driving, also asked out of the blue because Officer Wang was driving a hands-free car.
"What exactly did you do? Just wander around and go to the store to buy some things, like some stationery or something."
"We visited a stationery store?" Police Officer Wang asked.
"That's right, a stationery store." He Junchao said.
Gu Chen was also thoughtful, and slowly said: "This Hu Ming is here on a business trip to collect debts, but so far, he has not made any progress in his work. Instead, he is gathering with his old classmates."
"Yeah, what the hell is this guy doing?" Officer Wang was also puzzled.
"Then do I need to keep an eye on it?" He Junchao asked on the phone.
"Keep an eye on it." Officer Wang took a deep breath, and said in a bad mood, "Keep an eye on this guy, and report to me immediately if there is any trouble."
"clear."
On the phone, several people also explained a few words to each other, then both hung up the phone.
Police officer Wang took back the phone, looked at Gu Chen wonderingly, and said, "I said Gu Chen, could it be that we made a mistake? This Hu Ming seems to have been staying at the Wangjiang Hotel all the time, and he hasn't been out much."
"It's best not to go out." Gu Chen took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said involuntarily: "If we don't go out, we can chat with this old lady alone."
After dispelling the predicted crisis, the two speeded up the car, but because it was too late, it was already 1:[-] in the morning when they arrived at the family area of Chengxi Chemical Plant.
After parking the police car at the balcony door of the old building, Gu Chen and Officer Wang quickly got out of the car, but closed the door as quietly as possible, for fear of disturbing the only few families here.
Since the old lady lives on the first floor, and in this kind of old building, the balcony on the first floor is just a decoration, and there is no such thing as a basement.
As long as you step over the guardrail, you will be on the flat ground outside. Therefore, many residents living on the first floor will open an opening in the guardrail and build a step, so that they can go outside directly from the balcony of their home.
This is also the earliest building structure in the old family area.
"That's right here." Officer Wang pointed to the door of the balcony, and said involuntarily, "The old lady seems to live alone."
"Let's go in through the main entrance." Gu Chen said.
Officer Wang nodded silently, and then, together with Gu Chen, walked around to the entrance of the unit, walked up two steps, and came to the gate on the first floor.
Afterwards, Gu Chen knocked on the door three times and said, "Old lady, are you home?"
Seeing that the house was as quiet as before, Gu Chen knocked on the door three more times and continued, "Old lady, are you home?"
Seeing that Gu Chen knocked on the door too gently, but there was no response from inside the room, Police Officer Wang immediately pushed Gu Chen aside, and said with a smile: "In this situation, don't be afraid of disturbing the people, just knock on the door and focus on it."
As soon as the voice fell, Officer Wang slammed the door three times and said loudly: "Old lady, we are the police who came to your place during the day, and I want to check with you on something, please open the door." ?”
After the words fell, seeing that there was still no movement in the house, Police Officer Wang was speechless and said, "Aren't you at home?"
"But the clothes hanging on the balcony are still dripping." Gu Chen saw just now that the clothes hanging on the balcony seemed to have just been washed, so they were still dripping, and the floor of the balcony was also wet.
Officer Wang was a little puzzled and said, "Could it be that the old lady deliberately didn't want to open the door?"
"No way? We all knocked on the door so loudly, even if we slept soundly, we could at least hear a little noise, right?" Gu Chen also felt very curious.
But when the two were guessing, there was a muffled sound of "boom" in the house.
Although the movement was small, both Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang heard it because the surrounding environment was relatively quiet.
Officer Wang also smiled and said, "Maybe he's already awake, knock on the door again."
As soon as the voice fell, Police Officer Wang continued to slam the door three times and said, "Old lady, we are the policemen who came to your place during the day, please open the door? We have something to ask you, open the door." How about a door?"
While speaking, Officer Wang continued to slam the door three times with "bang bang bang".
However, after the door was smashed, the two of them stuck to the door to listen to the movement again, but suddenly found that there seemed to be some movement in the direction of the balcony.
"Could it be that the old lady went to the balcony to open the door?" Police Officer Wang was a little puzzled.
But Gu Chen quickly became alert, and said slowly: "It doesn't make sense? We knock on the door here, but if the old lady doesn't come here to open the door, what's the point of running to the balcony to open the door?"
Thinking of this, Gu Chen also said curiously: "Well, I'll go to the balcony to have a look. Senior Brother Wang will stay here. After I go in later, I'll open the door for you, so as to save you another trip."
"Forget it, I'll go." Officer Wang patted Gu Chen on the shoulder, walked out of the unit building, and started to go around the building, preparing to go to the balcony.
Gu Chen stood quietly at the door, continuing to wait.
However, not long after, Gu Chen suddenly heard a "stop", and then heard the sound of running.
Gu Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong, and immediately ran out of the apartment building.
At this moment, I saw a black shadow running quickly towards the inside of the family area, followed by Police Officer Wang who was also chasing after him.
Seeing this, Gu Chen immediately rushed over.
Officer Wang's physical strength was obviously inferior to that of the man in black. After chasing him for a while, the gap gradually widened. He was supported by Gu Chen who came from behind, and hurriedly asked:
"Senior Brother Wang, what's going on?"
"This guy sneaked out from the direction of the balcony. I was really going to ask him, but he just ran away."
"Not good." Gu Chen suddenly realized something, and hurriedly said, "The old lady is still at home."
Officer Wang was stunned when he heard the words, and then suddenly realized: "No, this guy may be targeting the old lady."
"Senior Brother Wang, go back and have a look, leave this person to me." Gu Chen also pushed Police Officer Wang back to the direction of the unit building.
But Officer Wang stopped him and said, "Gu Chen, it's too dangerous for you to do this, wait until I call for help."
"It's too late, let's see what's going on with the old lady, hurry up." Gu Chen didn't care too much at the moment, pushed Officer Wang back again, and ran quickly in the direction where the man in black disappeared.
Police officer Wang hesitated for a few seconds, feeling a bit in a dilemma at the moment.
But thinking that the old lady in the room might need help, so after struggling, she also let out a "harm", and then turned back and ran towards the balcony of the unit building.
"Screw rustle!"
The man in black who easily slipped through the metal fence rushed into the ruins of the chemical plant in an instant and began to run fast.
And Gu Chen followed closely behind.
Due to too much time wasted just now, the gap between Gu Chen and the man in black is a bit big.
But even so, due to the many open perspectives in the ruins, Gu Chen was able to lock on to the target and pursue him closely.
Among the weeds and rubble, it seemed difficult to escape quickly in this area.
If you are not careful, your hands and feet will be scratched.
And the ground is extremely uneven, making it very difficult to run.
But even so, Gu Chen can use his master-level observation skills to carefully avoid obstacles.
However, since the other party seemed to know the environment quite well, it was also extremely light to run, so Gu Chen's pursuit with the man in black in the ruins seemed to be of no advantage at all.
"Is it the direction of the secret passage?"
Seeing that the man in black had a clear goal and was heading directly towards the secret passage dictated by Hu Ming, Gu Chen suddenly stopped and began to observe from side to side.
The goal of the man in black was the secret passage, but due to the various raised stones in the ruins, the terrain became extremely complicated.
However, Gu Chen found that the area on the left is a bit flat. Although it takes a long way to go around the secret passage, it also takes a lot of time to run through the ruins.
So in Gu Chen's mind, after a brief calculation based on his running speed, he found that it would save a lot of time compared to walking through the ruins.
"It's right here." Without hesitation, Gu Chen immediately started running towards the left.
With a leap, Gu Chen came to the flat area, and then began to quickly rush out towards the flat weed pile, making a detour to the entrance of the secret passage.
On the other side, the man in black almost ran wildly all the way through the force of nine bulls and two tigers, and his hands and feet were scratched by sharp ruined stones on the way.
But even so, it couldn't stop the determination of the man in black to escape.
Just when the man in black passed through the ruins in a straight line and stood on the last damaged wall, the man in black took two heavy breaths and looked behind him panting.
However, when the man in black observed vigilantly, he found that the policeman who had been chasing him all the way just now disappeared suddenly.
The man in black was startled, and quickly looked around.
Then at this moment, it seems that there is no trace of the police.
Without thinking too much, the man in black also understood the truth of "this place is not suitable to stay for a long time", so he jumped off the last broken wall and came to the flat weedy field, just about to get into the secret passage to escape.
However, he suddenly discovered that there was a sound of "rusting" grass and trees rubbing on the left side, and the rubbing speed was extremely fast.
In the dark night, with the help of the faint moonlight, the man in black vaguely noticed that a man in police uniform was coming around from the left area, and was rushing towards him with all his strength.
The man in black took two steps back in fright, turned around and ran away, and burrowed into the weeds in the secret passage.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
When Gu Chen came to the weed pile in the secret passage, he stopped in an instant, and his legs almost slid to the entrance of the secret passage.
He took two heavy breaths, but there was no specific whereabouts of the man in black.
Since Gu Chen has been here once, he has a little understanding of this weed that is taller than a person.
The distribution area here is very large, and judging from the distance the man in black escaped just now, it seems impossible for the man in black to cross the weeds in a short time.
"But why is there suddenly no movement?" Gu Chen suddenly became alert and couldn't help but listen quietly.
However, at this moment, a breeze was blowing, and the weeds that were taller than a person were blown by the breeze, making the already complicated environment suddenly become weird again.
In the weeds, there were all kinds of rustling movements one after another, and it was difficult to distinguish whether it was being blown by the wind or rubbed by the man in black.
At this moment, at the moment when Gu Chen was still hesitating, a cloud, with the breeze blowing, gradually blocked the moonlight above his head.
The scene suddenly dimmed, and this is a remote suburb, and there are no street lights around, which made the scene suddenly extremely dark.
"This guy should still be here, just hiding." Gu Chen took a deep breath, reminding himself inwardly.
After a short breathing adjustment, Gu Chen took out the strong flashlight from the police equipment, and instantly turned on the expansion mode.
In an instant, the entire area was illuminated by Gu Chen's strong police flashlight.
Afterwards, Gu Chen pulled out the mechanical baton from his waist and swung it vigorously.
Following the mechanical movement, the batons spread out in an instant.
After turning on the law enforcement recorder hung on the shoulder strap, Gu Chen held the strong flashlight in his left hand and the police baton in his right hand. He began to cautiously walk to the edge of the secret passage, and warned the weeds:
"I know you're hiding here, come out now."
After the tentative warning, there was no movement in the weed pile.
Gu Chen said again: "Who are you? What exactly do you want to do at the old lady's house? Also, was Wan Xiaomin kidnapped by you?"
After some questioning, there was still no movement in the weed pile.
Gu Chen knew that the other party didn't like this at all, so now he played hide and seek with him.
Because of this secret passage, there are many weeds, and they all grow taller than people.
It would be no problem to hide a dozen or so people inside.
It is precisely because Gu Chen knows the danger in this secret passage that Gu Chen will not rush in.
After all, the other party is in the dark, and you are in the light, and you will definitely suffer a loss if you go in. The best way at this time is to wait for support, and then surround the place.
At this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.
For the sake of safety, Gu Chen took the initiative to take a few steps back, then took out his phone and swiped the answer button.
"Gu Chen, what's the situation over there?" On the phone, Officer Wang also looked anxious.
"I'm hunting down the man in black, and I've come to the entrance of the secret passage. This guy may be hiding here. I need support now." Gu Chen said.
"Then you stay there first, don't go in hastily, I have already called for support, and colleagues will come over soon, you stabilize the situation, don't act rashly." Officer Wang on the phone also repeatedly urged.
What did Gu Chen suddenly think of?He hurriedly asked Police Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, what's the situation with the old lady?"
"The situation is not good." Officer Wang took a deep breath, and then said: "The old lady was strangled by this guy with a rope. When I rushed into the house, I was already unconscious and my breath was very weak."
"It can be said that if we arrive a little later, the old lady may be gone."
"Then what's the situation now?" Gu Chen asked.
"The situation is very bad. I have given artificial respiration to the old lady, but it seems to have little effect. Now I have called 120 and am waiting for the first aid to come."
"Then you pay attention to safety and keep in touch at any time."
"Row."
The two exchanged a few words, then both hung up the phone.
Since it is in an open area, the content of Gu Chen's phone call can actually be heard clearly by the man in black.
Of course, Gu Chen also knew that the man in black could hear it, so he continued to warn, "I know you're hiding inside, do you just want to be a turtle here?"
"My support will arrive soon. If you don't want to be surrounded, just come out obediently and catch me without a fight."
Gu Chen actually knew that the man in black who was hiding in the weeds was also very tangled.
If it continues like this, when the police support arrives and a large-scale search is launched, then hiding here is undoubtedly looking for death.
And Gu Chen's words just now are obviously giving the man in black a chance to surrender on his own initiative.
At this moment, the man in black seemed to be impatient and wanted to escape immediately.
The moment the man in black got up, there was a "swish" rubbing sound in the weed pile.
This movement quickly made Gu Chen outside lock his position.
Based on the previous experience of passing here, Gu Chen quickly conjured up a three-dimensional map in his mind.
And in the secret passage at this time, there is a flashing position, which is also the specific direction where the movement happened just now.
"So it's less than 10 meters away from me?"
After getting the location confirmation, Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer, and immediately turned off the bright flashlight.
Because of the moonlight at this time, it is still shrouded in clouds.
Therefore, the environment at the scene is still dim, and the line of sight is extremely poor.
But Gu Chen's eyesight is extremely poor, so why not the man in black?
Thinking that everyone is under the same conditions, Gu Chen feels that he is not at a disadvantage.
After all, the man in black seems to be very familiar with this secret passage, but Gu Chen has also been here before.
In particular, Gu Chen has a master-level memory, so the basic structure and routes in the secret passage are like a mirror in Gu Chen's heart.
When the two sides were evenly matched, Gu Chen thought for a few seconds before turning off the bright flashlight and preparing to enter the weed pile in the secret passage and capture the man in black alive.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
With various movements coming from the weed pile, the sound of Gu Chen rubbing against the weeds intertwined with the sound of the man in black rubbing against the weeds.
Both sides felt that the other was nearby, especially Gu Chen, who didn't walk towards the man in black's rubbing sound, but walked straight towards the exit of the secret passage.
Gu Chen knew very well that as long as he blocked the other party's way, the man in black would be trapped in the ruins of the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city.
As soon as the police's support arrived, the man in black became a shackle.
It was also based on this that the black-clothed person seemed a little irritable, eager to escape through the secret passage.
There was a rush of rushing in the weeds, both sides were coming and going, but when Gu Chen felt that the other party was approaching, the voice suddenly stopped.
Out of safety considerations, Gu Chen also stopped moving forward.
At this moment, Gu Chen realized that he had come to the depth of the secret passage.
The weeds and vines here almost covered the top of his head.
Even during the day, the sun is hard to come in.
Coupled with the fact that the moonlight was already weak and covered by clouds, Gu Chen felt that he had entered an unfavorable position.
Only then did I understand why the black shadow disappeared in this place after a while of ups and downs.
Gu Chen also suddenly realized that this guy just wanted to lure himself into this depth, so that he could duel with him here.
At this moment, the breeze was blowing, and all kinds of weeds began to make "swirling" friction movements again.
Gu Chen guarded the surroundings, raised his left hand again, and turned on the bright flashlight.
In an instant, the surrounding light was bright.
Holding a bright flashlight in his left hand, Gu Chen began to look around.
But when the flashlight shone on an area, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards the direction of the light source.
Since there wasn't much room to maneuver around, the opponent pounced on Gu Chen directly.
Gu Chen couldn't dodge in time, and was thrown into the weeds by the opponent.
In an instant, Gu Chen found a cold light flashing in front of his eyes, and a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in his sight.
"Shh!"
The man in black moved quickly and ruthlessly, stabbing directly at Gu Chen's forehead.
Gu Chen moved sensitively, but his head was only slightly turned to the right.
A cold light flashed directly from the corner of his eyes, and directly inserted into the soil beside his ears.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, the mechanical baton in his right hand directly greeted the man in black's forehead.
However, the man in black moved swiftly, dodged in one dodge, and pulled out the sharp blade stuck in the mud.
The two rolled on the spot in the weeds, and both returned to the fighting posture.
At this moment, the distance between the two was less than three meters, and Gu Chen's bright flashlight fell on the lawn beside him during the sneak attack of the man in black just now, and the light directly shone on the weeds.
But even so, Gu Chen can still use the peripheral light of the flashlight to observe the appearance of the other party.
It turned out that the other party was wearing a black suit and a black nylon headgear with elastic, a bit like the nylon headgear worn by racing drivers.
The other party only showed a pair of eyes, and the cheeks were painted with black camouflage, which made it impossible for Gu Chen to judge the other party's true identity through these eyes for a while.
"So professional?" Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, feeling that the other party should also be a practitioner, and seemed to have experience in jungle survival.
With regard to the strategy of luring himself as the "prey" just now, Gu Chen found out that he was taken to an absolutely unfavorable position by the other party only when he came to the middle of the weeds.
Therefore, he was successfully attacked by the opponent just now.
If it wasn't for his quick response, the knife just now might have directly taken his life away.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, feeling that the opponent's attack was really vicious.
It was almost a trick to kill, without any hesitation.
"Who the hell are you?" Gu Chen adjusted his breathing rhythm, and asked again.
But the other party seemed to have no intention of communicating with Gu Chen at all. After calming down for a while, he brandished his blade again and slashed at Gu Chen.
"Shh! Shh! Shh!"
One after another piercing sounds rang in Gu Chen's ears one after another.
Gu Chen fought and retreated, using the mechanical baton in his hand to defend.
No matter how the opponent attacked, Gu Chen always defended actively, and the blade slashed on the mechanical baton again and again.
Seeing this situation, the man in black was a little impatient. He took two steps back and got ready to fight again.
It seemed that Gu Chen was just delaying time, and in the fight between the man in black and Gu Chen just now, he found that Gu Chen's purpose was not to fight to the death with himself, but to kill the man in black while fighting and retreating. The escape route was blocked.
If Gu Chen hadn't blocked the exit of the secret passage before the fight just now, then now, Gu Chen has already stood on the only way of the secret passage during the fight with the man in black.
And if the man in black wanted to escape again at this moment, he had to pass Gu Chen's barrier first.
But obviously, the man in black also found that Gu Chen was not so easy to deal with.
Just now he made dangerous moves, but Gu Chen backed down and resolved them one by one.
It seems that his fighting skills are not inferior to his own, but he just wants to capture himself alive while avoiding injury.
When the man in black realized Gu Chen's cleverness, he was suddenly impatient.
In addition, at this moment, the man in black also vaguely heard the sound of sirens in the distance.
Although the distance is far away, it is constantly approaching.
Thinking of this, the man in black immediately started to step back, as if he wanted to return to the ruins from the entrance of the secret passage.
Of course, Gu Chen also guessed the other party's intentions, he didn't have the slightest advantage from him, and now he wants to escape from other places.
So after keeping a relatively safe distance from the man in black, the man in black retreated and Gu Chen stepped in.
As soon as the man in black entered, Gu Chen retreated.
Gu Chen now has a lot of time to consume with the man in black, as long as the support arrives, the man in black will definitely be a turtle in the urn.
However, after struggling for a few seconds, the man in black suddenly withdrew his legs and ran away.
"stop!"
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and rushed towards the man in black.
The two chased again among the weeds, but this time, Gu Chen discovered that the man in black was not taking the entrance path just now, but was heading straight towards another location in the weeds. past.
After a while, the surrounding area began to quiet down.
Standing in the weeds, Gu Chen suddenly fell into a state of confusion.
"Where did the man in black go? He was still here just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Gu Chen became alert again, feeling that the other party might be the same as last time, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and rushing over.
So Gu Chen was more careful this time, and did not move his position, but held a mechanical baton in a defensive posture.
Also listen attentively.
However, as time passed by every minute and every second, there was still no movement around.
Until Gu Chen discovered that there were several strong flashlights shining in the distance, Gu Chen knew that it was his own support who arrived.
"Junior Brother Gu, where are you, Junior Brother Gu?"
Among the crowd, Lu Weiwei had the loudest voice and walked in the front.
When Gu Chen heard this, he also yelled, "I'm here."
"Junior Brother Gu, are you alright?" Lu Weiwei's voice was getting closer and closer, and the beam of the bright flashlight kept passing over her head.
"I'm fine, but the man in black is lost." Gu Chen replied helplessly.
"Gu Chen, where is the man in black now? Is your place safe?" It was Officer Wang who spoke this time, and asked with concern.
"It's safe now, but where is the man in black? I don't know yet. You can approach me, but you must pay attention to safety." Gu Chen said.
