I am a super cop

Chapter 2845 Crisis of Trust
The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and the visibility at the scene was getting lower and lower due to the dense fog all around.

Gu Chen realized that something was wrong and quickly reminded Han Yun, "Old Han, the situation doesn't seem good now. The fog is too thick and I can't see anything around me clearly."

"Yes, what happened today? It's really weird." Han Yun turned around twice and asked the police officer who found the bloodstain:

"Where did you say the blood was found?"

"Come with me." The policeman waved his hand and immediately led everyone to a wooden house.

Since the cabin was not locked, one could get in by simply turning the handle.

When everyone walked into the house, they found that the wooden house looked a little messy, and there were bloodstains all around the house.

Gu Chen squatted down, wiped the blood on the ground with his hand, looked up at Han Yun and said: "The blood is fresh. It seems that these people have been here and have not been away for long."

"It is definitely not that easy to transfer so many hostages. Without enough means of transportation, the transfer cannot be completed," said Lu Weiwei.

Gu Chen looked at Han Yun and said without hesitation: "Old Han, I have observed the surrounding terrain. There is only one way out from here, and we have not found any other vehicles on this road."

“Perhaps these people are hiding nearby, or in some secret location that we haven’t discovered yet.”

"Yeah." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Han Yun looked around and asked, "Is there any place around that can hide a large number of people?"

After the words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.

And at this moment, Mark stood up and said, "I know a place."

"Where?" Everyone asked in unison upon hearing this.

Mark quickly added: "There is an underground passage nearby. I remember hearing William mention it before. An underground maze was originally planned to be built here."

"Underground maze?" Everyone was confused when they heard this.

Mark continued to explain: "Yes, it is to build an immersive underground maze, because this is the tree frog tribe, isn't it built deep in the forest?"

"So according to William, the original plan was to create an immersive forest experience project."

"The underground maze was designed to imitate a popular Internet celebrity attraction abroad, and the benchmark was also that popular attraction."

"However, because the early stage of the Tree Frog Tribe project did not meet the expected customer flow, this place was popular for a while when it opened because of the investment in publicity."

"But soon, the project began to fail. William's company thought it was a low-quality project and gave up on the subsequent investment. Finally, the underground maze project was shelved."

"However, the basic prototype has been excavated. So I think that if a large number of hostages need to be hidden somewhere, then this area and the underground maze are the only suitable place."

"Where is the address of the underground maze?" Han Yun asked.

"I don't know about this." Mark shook his head and continued:

“However, the park planning topographic map here should be marked.”

Hearing Mark's words, Gu Chen looked around and asked curiously, "Has anyone seen a topographic map nearby?"

"I think I saw it just now." Lu Weiwei raised her hand and said, "There seems to be a topographic map near where we just came in. I took a quick look."

"Did Senior Sister Lu see anything?" Gu Chen asked.

Lu Weiwei thought for a moment and said slowly, "I remember that in the southwest corner of the Tree Frog Tribe, near the hill, there seems to be a design similar to an underground maze."

Hearing this, Han Yun glanced at the young police officer beside him and said, "Go over with Xiao Wu and see if this is the case."

"Yes." Upon hearing this, the young police officer immediately called another police officer beside him, and the two of them quickly ran back the way they came.

Soon, the two of them shuttled through the fog and returned to Han Yun.

"How?" Han Yun asked.

"Yes, it's the southwest corner, that direction." One of the police officers pointed in the direction and said.

Han Yun looked around and asked other people, "Have you seen any suspicious targets around?"

"No."

"I did not see it."

"Nothing found."

……

Everyone shook their heads.

Han Yun knew that there might not be anything here, and the focus should probably be on the underground maze.

So he warned everyone, "Everyone be careful, target, underground maze, pay attention to suspicious targets around, report immediately if you find them."

Everyone nodded in understanding.

Afterwards, Han Yun, his men, and Gu Chen's team began to search in the direction of the underground maze.

Mark, as the only person who knew the situation here, was also guarded by two police officers and moved forward with the main force.

But when everyone came to the so-called underground maze construction site, they found that it was just a simple construction site with a rusty iron door at the entrance. But when everyone came to it, they found that the iron lock was new.

"Someone come and open it." Han Yun reminded.

A police officer immediately stepped forward with pliers and easily cut the door lock open.

Then, several fully armed police officers rushed in with guns pointed.

Others entered in batches.

The people turned on the flashlight on the FAST tactical helmet, and suddenly a scream was heard in the passage, but soon, it was the police officers' warning.

The scene was noisy, but soon the Song City police side took control of the situation.

"The assault team reports the situation." Han Yun asked anxiously.

Soon, a response came from the headset: "Old Han, the hostages have been found and are being held here."

Han Yun was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly asked, "What about these kidnappers?"

"Nothing has been found yet." Another response came from the headset.

Han Yun's smile gradually disappeared, and he continued, "Maintain order at the scene. I'll come over to take a look."

After he finished speaking, Han Yun looked at Gu Chen and the others with a serious expression and said, "The hostage has been found, but there is no trace of the kidnapper. Let's go in and take a look."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, then turned on the light on the FAST tactical helmet.

Everyone entered the unfinished underground maze cautiously.

Since there were red signs on the wall, everyone just followed the signs and soon found an iron cage in one of the passages.

At this moment, several police officers were already dismantling the door lock.

With a creaky sound, the iron door was opened, and the people in the iron cage huddled together in fear. Gu Chen pointed the light inside and shone it roughly, and found that there were both old people and young people inside, and everyone seemed to be from different age groups.

But at this moment, everyone felt extremely exhausted, as if they had been subjected to inhuman torture here for a long time.

Everyone's face was pale, and it was obvious that they were seriously malnourished.

When they saw the police coming in, everyone seemed to have not yet recovered from their panic.

Gu Chen and Han Yun walked in front and entered the iron cage, but when these people saw Han Yun in police uniform, they subconsciously shrank back.

"Don't be afraid, we are police officers." Han Yun tried to reveal his identity to comfort everyone.

But when everyone heard that Han Yun was a policeman, their bodies trembled even more violently, and everyone tried their best to squeeze back.

It seemed as if one minute later would result in death.

The fear was written all over their faces, and Gu Chen had never seen people look so terrified when they saw the police.

"Are you okay?" Gu Chen stepped forward, wanting to offer help to these people.

But it was this step that made everyone scream in fear.

The scene became chaotic again.

Everyone struggled desperately, as if they had seen a hungry wolf in the sheepfold.

This made Gu Chen very confused, and all the police officers at the scene were also bewildered. No one knew what was going on.
But when everyone was confused, Gu Chen suddenly remembered that when he was interrogating Wang Wenhai before, he once mentioned that he met the police after he escaped from that terrifying villa for the first time.

But when he thought he had found his savior and explained the situation to the policemen, he was sent back again.

It turned out that the policemen at the foot of the mountain were all fake. In order to prevent people from escaping from the villa, this gang deliberately sent people wearing police uniforms to impersonate policemen.

It was after that incident that Wang Wenhai was captured and tortured even more severely, which made him develop an inexplicable fear of people in uniform.

And Gu Chen once again saw that kind of fear and distrust on the faces of the people in these iron cages.

Moreover, these people's reactions were more intense.

From this, Gu Chen felt that this group of people must have been tortured by the kidnappers for a long time, and were gradually losing hope of escaping.

Especially when these kidnappers were torturing the hostages, they might have been wearing fake police uniforms, so when they saw people in uniform, they felt like sheep in the sheepfold meeting a hungry wolf.

Gu Chen quickly reminded Han Yun: "Maybe it was the kidnappers who wore our clothes and tortured them cruelly."

After being reminded by Gu Chen, Han Yun suddenly realized and quickly explained to everyone:
"Don't be afraid, we are the Song City police. We followed clues all the way here. We are here to take you home. Please believe us, we are different from them."

After the words were spoken, the fear at the scene did not seem to ease.

Perhaps the kidnappers had said the same thing before, which is why everyone started to feel fear.

Seeing that his comfort didn't work, Han Yun touched his head, feeling a little frustrated.

He looked at Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, what do you think we should do? These people have been frightened by those people."

"Let me try." Although he was not sure whether it would succeed, Gu Chen still walked up to a young woman, squatted down, and reminded her:
"Look carefully at us, don't we look different from them?"

The young woman, who was covered in wounds, turned her head tentatively to take a look upon hearing this.

When she saw the handsome Gu Chen, she looked at the faces of other people and found that there was also a woman present.

The young woman immediately let down her guard but remained silent.

It seems that he believes it somewhat, but is not very sure.

Gu Chen roughly observed the people at the scene, then returned his gaze to the woman and asked:

"Are you Xu Xiao?"

"Ah?" When the young woman was asked her name, she was stunned. It took her a long time to react, and then she nodded quickly.

"Are you really Xu Xiao? Then do you have a friend named Zhou Xiaodie?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Yeah, yeah." This time, the young woman nodded more quickly.

"So, now you believe that we are the police, right?" Gu Chen said.

"You...are you really the police?" Xu Xiao looked up at everyone out of common sense, and then asked weakly:
"You...you guys are not lying to us again, are you?"

"What do you think of us?" This was the first time that Han Yun was distrusted by this group of people.

So he quickly pulled a fully armed police officer over, patted the officer's equipment and said:

"Look carefully, this outfit, do you think it's the police?"

Han Yun seemed to be a little angry, so he pulled the other two fully armed policemen to his side, continued to pat their equipment, and said:

"This outfit, and this one, are you a police officer?"

"Woooooooo..."

When she saw the equipment, Xu Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, her emotions, which had been suppressed for so long, made her unable to control her emotions, and she suddenly burst into tears.

"Why are you crying?" Lu Weiwei said unhappily.

"Why didn't you come earlier? We really couldn't hold on any longer. I felt so bad, I really felt so bad, my spirit was about to collapse, I... I thought I was just a body without a soul, a walking corpse, wuwu..."

At the end, Xu Xiao continued to cry and hugged Gu Chen's thighs as if she was holding on to the last straw.

When others saw this scene, they all started to get excited.

"It's the police, real police. We are saved."

"Woo, they're really the police? They're not those scammers anymore, woo."

"Oh my God! I can still get out alive, thank God, thank you."

……

There were laughter and crying sounds mixed together at the scene. Everyone was happy at the beginning, but then they started crying while laughing.

Perhaps it was the feeling of escaping death, of being able to return to the world after going through the gates of hell, that made everyone's long-suppressed emotions no longer burst.

The whole place suddenly turned into a crying scene, and everyone felt a miserable atmosphere spreading.

"Is everyone okay? If you can walk, we will take you out." Officer Wang reminded everyone when he saw everyone huddled together crying.

Then he looked at Han Yun again.

Han Yun also said quickly: "Don't worry, everyone. We will rescue you now and send you to the hospital for treatment, but because you have been in the dark for a long time, your eyes will be damaged when you go out."

"So, let's blindfold you now and then take you out."
