I am a super cop

Chapter 2200 Back Mountain Cemetery
"Is anyone there?" Standing at the front desk, Gu Chen shouted towards the corridor.

However, there was no response from the house, which made everyone quite puzzled.

"It's such a big place, why is there no one around?" Officer Wang looked around, only to find that a middle-aged woman happened to be walking across the road, carrying a bag of fruit.

I also saw a police car parked in front of the hotel, and saw several uniformed policemen standing inside.

But the middle-aged woman was not too curious, and it seemed that it was not a day or two to deal with the police.

Walking to the door, before Gu Chen and the others could speak, the middle-aged woman asked:
"Then what? Comrade police, what's the matter?"

"Does this person live with you?" Lu Weiwei opened the photo album directly, and showed Zhou Xiaotong's photo in front of her.

The middle-aged woman squinted her eyes and nodded slightly: "Yes, I live here."

"Then where is she now? Has she been back these days?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked.

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "I'm not sure about this."

"Not sure? She lives in your hotel, you don't know? Is this a little unreasonable?" Lu Weiwei felt that the middle-aged woman was a little perfunctory, so she couldn't help but say something.

But the middle-aged woman insisted on reasoning: "I said comrade policeman, she booked a room for a week, and it hasn't expired yet, and she hasn't checked out. Of course I don't care about that."

"When does she go out every day? I don't care about that. Besides, even if I do, it's the day she checks out."

"Don't say these things are useless." Police officer Wang walked back and forth twice before coming to the middle-aged woman and saying:

"Now, immediately, help me investigate the specific situation of this woman's stay."

"How to investigate?" The middle-aged woman looked confused. Seeing the displeasure on Police Officer Wang's face, she subdued and said:
"Oh, help you watch the surveillance, right?"

"Yes, yes, hurry up." Police officer Wang didn't want to talk to her, but to be honest, this middle-aged woman was indeed talking.

The middle-aged woman put down the fruit in her hand, and then came to the front desk. According to the request of Gu Chen and the others, she began to check and monitor.

Meanwhile, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang gathered around behind the middle-aged woman.

Chubby fingers kept clicking the mouse, the middle-aged woman turned her head to look at Gu Chen and said, "Comrade police, all the monitoring you want is here."

"This woman, after opening the room that day, went out in the middle of the night. After that, I have no records here, and she never came back."

It seemed that he realized that the situation was wrong, and when he thought of the fact that the police found the Xinxin Hotel, they must have come to investigate the disappearance of the woman.

Only now did the middle-aged woman feel a sense of urgency.

However, Gu Chen already knew these things, and this time he came here because he wanted to understand the internal problems of the hotel.

But I also checked the monitoring just now. After Zhou Xiaotong checked into his room, the monitoring in the corridor showed that no one had entered this room.

When Zhou Xiaotong went out, he seemed to take a small satchel with him.

The inside of the small satchel may be just some daily necessities, or in other words, there is also a flashlight in it.

"Did she say anything to you when she checked into your hotel that day?" Gu Chen turned around and asked the middle-aged woman again.

The middle-aged woman shook her head: "Didn't say anything? I just said that I stayed for a week and paid a week's rent and deposit."

"For the rest, we didn't ask too much, and there is no need to ask too much."

"Then when she checked in that day, did her expression change?" Lu Weiwei continued to ask without giving up.

But the middle-aged woman still shook her head: "It's just a normal look, and I didn't say anything. I did the check-in for the room, but I haven't seen her since then."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Zhou Xiaotong disappeared on the night of check-in, apparently some accident happened.

Gu Chen knew very well that if nothing happened to Zhou Xiaotong, she might stay in this hotel for about a week.

However, after Zhou Xiaotong paid the rent for a week, he suddenly left Xinxin Hotel late at night on the day of check-in, and disappeared into the hinterland of the forest behind Xinxin Hotel, which was unpredictable.

Obviously, Zhou Xiaotong might just want to go to the forest behind the Xinxin Hotel and have no intention of not coming back.

But now it seems that Zhou Xiaotong had an accident at the back of the mountain, which led to this result.

Gu Chen suddenly thought of the taxi that Zhou Xiaotong took when he took a taxi from the high-speed railway station to this hotel.

Thinking that the taxi driver might know something about Zhou Xiaotong, Gu Chen immediately took out his phone and walked to the door.

Not long after, He Junchao's phone was dialed: "Gu Chen, what's the matter?"

"The driver who brought Zhou Xiaotong to the hotel that day, you can help me contact him and ask him to call." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, wait a minute." Although it was troublesome, it was not impossible for He Junchao.

Five or six minutes after hanging up the phone, a call to an unfamiliar local number was directly displayed on Gu Chen's phone screen.

Gu Chen pressed the answer button directly, and a middle-aged man's voice came over there immediately:

"Hello, is this Officer Gu?"

"I'm Gu Chen." Gu Chen reported his family name, and then asked again: "Are you the driver who sent a woman from Haidong City to Xinxin Hotel at the high-speed rail station that day?"

"That's right, I brought a young woman with me that day, and I picked her up at the high-speed rail station, and the destination was also here at Xinxin Hotel, what's the matter?"

The taxi driver obviously didn't know the specific situation, and asked in a daze.

Gu Chen didn't hide it, and went straight to the point: "The woman is missing now, I want to ask, what did she talk to you about in the car that day?"

"Missing?" Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, the taxi driver obviously paused, and then he confirmed in a daze:

"Comrade policeman, you mean, that girl is missing?"

"That's right, so I need to know something from you, can you explain it to me?" Gu Chen said.

"You wait." It seems that the brain circuit has not yet reacted, the taxi driver on the other end of the phone also paused for a few seconds, and then slowly said:
"This incident has happened for a few days. What is the specific situation? I am not very impressed."

"I guess. I just chatted with her casually. I know that she is from Haidong City, and she wants to find a job in Jiangnan City. It seems that's what she said."

"That's all he told you?" Gu Chen asked.

"Uh, more or less. I suggested to her to come. I said, if you are looking for a job, you should either live at the old train station. After all, it is in the center of the city. It is convenient to go everywhere, and the traffic is excellent."

"I also told her, or you can go to the east side of the city, where there are more companies and more job opportunities."

"But, as always, she wants to live in the Xinxin Hotel on the west side of the city."

Speaking of this, it seems to have brought back all kinds of memories of the taxi driver, so he continued:
"By the way, that's what she said. I was quite surprised at the time. I felt that she was unfamiliar with this place, but she had to go to the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city."

"But everyone knows when looking for a job. You live in a remote urban-rural junction like the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city. The transportation is not very convenient. Are you still looking for a woolen job?"

"If you are looking for some ordinary jobs, such as cashiers, washing dishes, etc., then you can come here."

"But I heard that she seems to have just graduated from college, so that's even more wrong."

"So, what do you think is going on with her?" Gu Chen also got a general idea of ​​Zhou Xiaotong's situation from the middle-aged driver's mouth.

This is exactly the same as my original guess.

The locals in Jiangnan City all know the strategy of finding a job, and even reminded Zhou Xiaotong.

But obviously, Zhou Xiaotong didn't want to listen, and as usual, he came to the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city.

It can be seen that she received the invitation letter and wanted to come to complete some kind of contract.

But the more confusing things are, the more headaches Gu Chen feels.

Because no matter what happened before, investigation cases can be investigated based on various clues.

But Gu Chen is most afraid of such clueless clues.

For example, the invitation letter Zhou Xiaotong received to complete the contract was simple and empty, and it seemed that only the recipient and the sender could understand each other.

It's like two people are playing charades in their relationship, and only each other can understand the meaning of both parties.

But if you give this kind of letter to outsiders, outsiders don't have the ability to understand these things at all.

Gu Chen is a little worried, but the most important thing now is to find Zhou Xiaotong.

The more days Zhou Xiaotong can't find now, the more dangerous he will be.

Gu Chen immediately asked the taxi driver again: "Master, did you notice anything unusual about this female passenger that day?"

"No." The taxi driver's reply was also straightforward: "It was just an ordinary chat that day, and the basic situation is like this."

"I advised her to either live in the old train station or in the east of the city, but she didn't accept it, and continued to ask me to drive to the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city."

Taking a deep breath, the driver on the phone said helplessly, "This passenger doesn't listen to your advice, so there's nothing you can do about it."

"After all, I can't influence other people's itinerary. What's more, the distance to the old railway station and the east of the city is obviously much closer than the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city."

"I also kindly advised her that you will spend more fares, but she doesn't seem to care."

"In the end, I sent her to the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city, and I left after collecting the money."

"Okay, thank you very much." After getting all the answers from the driver, Gu Chen still expressed his gratitude.

After a while of pleasantries, Gu Chen hung up the phone.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang also came out of Xinxin Hotel.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, did you find anything?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "Not yet, but at present, I can be sure that someone has ordered Zhou Xiaotong to come to the Xinxin Hotel in the west of the city after arriving in Jiangnan City."

"No matter how others persuade, Zhou Xiaotong doesn't seem to change his mind."

"Obviously, Zhou Xiaotong did not come to Jiangnan City this time to look for a job, but to complete a certain task, or a contract."

"Yes, it should be to complete a certain contract." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei on the side also confirmed.

Officer Wang scratched his chin, looked up at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and said, "Do you think we should go to the shopping district over there now? That's where Zhou Xiaotong has dinner."

"And, she stayed there until 10 o'clock in the evening."

"During such a long time, is it just eating dinner?"

"No, she must be meeting someone, and then someone reminded her to run to the forest behind the Xinxin Hotel late at night, or rather, somewhere in the forest, and Zhou Xiaotong obeyed." As soon as the police officer finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also answered.

At this time, Gu Chen couldn't wait, and asked Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang:
"By the way, Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Wang, you were in the Xinxin Hotel just now, did you ask where the forest behind the Xinxin Hotel is?"

"The question came out." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei couldn't wait to say:
"We asked the woman just now, and she told us that there is a small road behind the Xinxin Hotel, which leads to the mountain."

"But there is nothing in this mountain, but there are some cemeteries."

"Every year during Tomb-sweeping Day, people will go up the mountain to sweep graves or something."

"Graveyard? Sweeping the grave?" Gu Chen frowned slightly when he heard the result given by Lu Weiwei.

Of course, Police Officer Wang also saw what Gu Chen meant, and hurriedly asked, "Gu Chen, what do you mean, do you feel that Zhou Xiaotong's contract may have something to do with the tomb in this mountain?"

"Yes." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen snapped his fingers and said:

"That's what I think, because there are no buildings in the mountains, only cemeteries."

"But Zhou Xiaotong didn't sleep late at night, what did he quietly go to the forest in the back mountain?"

"You know, Zhou Xiaotong came to Jiangnan City for the first time, and she was unfamiliar with the place, so she disappeared into the mountains behind Xinxin Hotel at such a late night."

"You can guess it with your toes. She may have been instructed by someone to find out the specific route, and then ran to the forest behind late at night."

"It seems that Zhou Xiaotong really met the sender when he was eating." Lu Weiwei now looks very convinced of her previous opinion.

Police officer Wang also said: "Then what are you waiting for? Time waits for no one, we have to go to the business district over there to see if we can ask some questions."

"Ah."

A few people did what they said, and immediately set off for the nearby business district.

The business district here is actually mainly concentrated on an old street. The street is not spacious, and the buildings on both sides are not brand new, and they are still a few years old.

However, the commercial atmosphere here is very strong, and the shops on both sides are all for business.

However, Gu Chen started to investigate the catering shops, starting with Zhou Xiaotong's meal time, and asked the boss to see if he could help find out the specific situation of Zhou Xiaotong's meal time.
