I am a super cop

Chapter 2848 797 Forest Farm
Zhuang Tianxiang was so weak that his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds. Every moment of communicating with Gu Chen seemed extremely difficult.

In the middle of the conversation, he fainted again, and the wounds on his body seemed to tell everyone what Zhuang Tianxiang had experienced.

……

……

Time quickly came to night, and when Zhuang Tianxiang opened his eyes on the hospital bed, Gu Chen's figure was in front of him.

At this moment, Gu Chen was lying on a chair, resting quietly.

As if he had heard some subtle movements, Gu Chen opened his eyes and met Zhuang Tianxiang's eyes.

"Are you awake?" Seeing this, Gu Chen also stood up and walked to Zhuang Tianxiang's bedside.

Because the other hostages all have dark histories, but this does not seem to exist for Zhuang Tianxiang.

Moreover, the other party only knew Zhuang Tianxiang's childhood nickname.

However, Zhuang Tianxiang was the only one who stood out at that time, and he was also the most seriously injured.

So in Gu Chen's opinion, the information from Zhuang Tianxiang is more accurate, so Gu Chen wants to get to know Zhuang Tianxiang in depth.

"Give me some water." said Zhuang Tianxiang.

Without saying a word, Gu Chen poured him a glass of water and brought it to him personally.

Zhuang Tianxiang gulped down a few mouthfuls, then asked, "What else do you want to know?"

"What do you think of this mask party?" Gu Chen said.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhuang Tianxiang said, "You said before that William was taking revenge on these people, but I don't think so. The relationship between them and William doesn't seem to be that simple."

"What do you mean?" Seeing that Zhuang Tianxiang had his own opinion, Gu Chen hurriedly asked seriously.

After thinking for a moment, Zhuang Tianxiang slowly said:

"In fact, it seems to me that there may be other connections between these people and William, the guy wearing the mask."

"Because I don't have a dark history and have never done anything illegal, I'm very confused. What is the purpose of their inviting me here?"

"If it is just to satisfy William's desire for revenge, then I obviously do not meet these requirements."

"Because I'm different from those people. I came here with a research attitude."

"And from the beginning, I didn't understand why they knew my childhood nickname, Iron Bull?"

"Besides, I had no connection with them when I was a child. If I had to say anything, it was that I saw the sacrifice, which was performed by a group of people wearing masks."

"It is possible that it was you who leaked the secret of the sacrifice at that time, so this group of people wanted to find you." Gu Chen said.

"You can understand it that way." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Zhuang Tianxiang seemed to agree.

So Gu Chen asked again: "When you came to the scene, did you find that they were targeting you alone?"

"Yes." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Zhuang Tianxiang immediately said:

"At the party, everyone had to draw lots and passively accept their death game. However, I was not on their game list."

"What did you say? You are not on the list? What's going on? Did they miss you?" Gu Chen became more and more confused the more he listened.

But Zhuang Tianxiang shook his head and explained:

"That's not the case. I didn't get called out because I don't have any dark history."

“And these people who were drawn were introduced by them after they came on stage.”

"And, revealing their stories is like opening a blind box. Among all the people who were picked to go on stage, everyone can know from their mouths what the people who went on stage had done in the past."

"Later I found out that all these people had dark histories, but looking back at myself, it seems that I don't have any."

"But after seeing them playing all kinds of death games on this gang, I couldn't bear it anymore and led the resistance."

"Otherwise, everyone here will die, but they don't understand. They would rather let me be the first to do so than to resist to the end."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Tianxiang sighed helplessly: "So, I seemed to be isolated and helpless at that time."

"Even when I was tied to the stage and tortured in various ways by them, I never gave in, but these people did."

"That's how I was tortured half to death by that masked man. Many times, I fainted from the pain."

"Then has this masked man, William, ever communicated with you directly?" Gu Chen asked.

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhuang Tianxiang nodded silently and said without hesitation:
"Yes, I was locked up in a small room alone with my hands and feet tied up. They probably thought I was difficult to deal with."

"At that time, the masked man, who might be the William you mentioned, came to see me and was also wearing a mask."

"What did I tell you?" Gu Chen asked.

"Haha." Zhuang Tianhe laughed dryly twice and couldn't help but sigh:

"What? He asked me if I knew why I was invited to the party. I said I didn't know, and he said it was because of my bad mouth that they suffered a catastrophe."

"I was very confused, so I asked him, what are you talking about?"

"He told me that when I was a kid, I told others about a group of strange people who wore masks and performed rituals around a bonfire."

"So, it wasn't long before the strange behavior of this group of people was reported in the news, and even a special reporter came to interview them."

"But none of this matters. What matters is that their enemies found out about their group and came knocking on their doorstep."

"As for what happened afterwards? I'm not very clear, but from their tone, it's not hard for me to tell that they might have encountered an enemy."

"The reason why the enemy came to our house might be because I was too talkative at the time. People in the area all knew that there would be people performing sacrificial activities outdoors at night."

"But, it seems like these people just disappeared."

"So I didn't know who the enemy was, but I was the one who brought the enemy here. But I was just a child at the time, and I had no idea how deep the hatred between these people was."

"So, I chatted with William for a while and found out that among those people wearing masks and worshipping around the bonfire was William's parent."

"I asked William if it was because of me that his family encountered bad things. He said yes with absolute certainty."

"Later, I tried to persuade them to stop it, but all I got in return was a round of ridicule."

"But from what I heard from William, he seemed unhappy with the people he invited to the party."

"Gathering everyone together seems to be more conducive to his revenge on everyone."

"So your understanding is that everyone who attended the party is William's enemy, including you?"

"Yes." Facing Gu Chen's question, Zhuang Tianxiang also admitted generously:

"There seems to be some connection between them and William. Of course, this is just my guess, but I really can't figure out why all of us are gathered together?" "However, I can't solve this unsolved mystery, but I can tell you clearly that all of them may have gathered together at some point in time."

"But who knows where this group of people were when they were together? What's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack?" Gu Chen knew it very well.

Zhuang Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and sighed helplessly, saying:
"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."

……

……

After communicating with Zhuang Tianxiang for a long time, Gu Chen left the ward and came to a place at the end of the corridor.

This is the resting area for everyone. At this moment, Lu Weiwei saw Gu Chen coming and asked curiously, "Junior Brother Gu, how is your communication going?"

"There is a breakthrough." Gu Chen shook his right index finger and said without hesitation:

"It is very likely that these people who were invited to the party had gathered at a certain place on a certain day."

"Gu Chen, why did you suddenly have this idea?" Officer Wang was also a little surprised.

But Gu Chen continued, "The reason is very simple, because these people can't appear randomly, why would William retaliate against them randomly? It doesn't make sense."

"The only possibility is that this group of people gathered at a certain place on a certain day and did something that made William want to kill them."

"And judging from the current situation, the injured Zhuang Tianxiang has provided a lot of clues."

"As a person who wanted to explore the secret party, his intrusion here was considered an uninvited guest."

"Then this Zhuang Tianxiang is quite valuable. What are they doing?" Officer Wang was a little confused.

Lu Weiwei quickly asked, "Also, could Zhuang Tianxiang be hiding something? After all, he looks quite unique."

"If everyone present here has a dark history, then Zhuang Tianxiang can't be without one."

"Of course he does." Facing everyone's doubts, Gu Chen also said slowly:
"Before, when Zhuang Tianxiang was a child, wasn't his name Tie Niu? Didn't he once see a group of people wearing masks, dancing around a bonfire to offer sacrifices?"

"Because this incident had never happened to them before, but because of Zhuang Tianxiang's bad words, I heard that the enemy came to their door later."

"This incident was all caused by Zhuang Tianxiang, so the problem lies with Zhuang Tianxiang."

"The fact that he received the party invitation was, in my opinion, purely William's revenge on Zhuang Tianxiang."

"After all, if we can gather a group of people together and clean up together, it won't be a surprise if there's one more person."

"But the unexpected situation is that they probably didn't expect Zhuang Tianxiang to be the first to come forward."

“It can be seen that the William family’s sacrificial activities are also involved behind this.”

After a pause, Gu Chen said, "This must also be recorded."

"Of course." Yuan Shasha agreed readily.

Soon, everyone reorganized the collected information.

At this moment, Gu Chen still picked up his mobile phone and dialed Ji Zhe's number in Jiangnan City.

Not long after, Ji Zhe's greeting came over the phone: "Brother Gu, how are you doing over there? Have you found those people?"

"The main culprit is still being sought. I want to find Wang Wenhai. Can you help me contact him?" said Gu Chen.

"No problem, wait a moment, I'll contact Wang Wenhai right away."

After a brief pause, Wang Wenhai's voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Director Gu."

"Wang Wenhai, let me ask you, how much do you know about that troublemaker Zhuang Tianxiang?"

"Zhuang Tianxiang?" Upon hearing Zhuang Tianxiang's name, Wang Wenhai immediately became excited:

"In fact, this person's personality is quite mature, and he has a certain appeal, but it doesn't work here."

"Here, he is the first to stand out. Those people will definitely not let him go. It's good enough that he is still alive."

Listening to Wang Wenhai's story, Gu Chen also said slowly: "I don't care about other things now. I just want the scope of activities for these people. If one month is not enough, then two months."

"The workload will be huge, I need to discuss it with Old Han," said Officer Wang.

"That's for sure." Gu Chen also nodded silently.

At this time, Gu Chen picked up the phone again and started a conversation with Wang Wenhai:

"When you left, did you find out the exact number of people on their end?"

"About 10 people." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Wang Wenhai quickly replied:

"There were only 10 of them, but they had a lot of equipment."

"Especially those electric batons. What we fear most in the villa are those electric batons. They have no limits when using them."

"They would electrocute you until you lost control of your bowels and bladder. Many of us who were there were seriously injured during that incident, but no one could escape their clutches."

"No matter how far you run, as long as you are within their sight, running away is courting death."

Listening to Wang Wenhai's words, Gu Chen knew that there had been several precedents. The guy who was executed before that you mentioned was Wang Wenhai, but he was fine.

But in the mouths of those people, Wang Wenhai had been chopped into pieces and then the body parts were thrown into the wilderness to feed the dogs.

Just like that, everyone became afraid, fearing that they would suffer the same fate.

So when these people got into trouble, they didn't seem to have the courage to escape.

With a heavy sigh, Wang Wenhai also explained helplessly: "Officer Gu, find Zhuang Tianxiang and communicate with him properly."

"He should be the one who knows William better, but, theoretically speaking, this guy should be gone."

"But judging from the current situation, he has become the target of this gang because his behavior is too conspicuous and he likes to be the first to stand out."

"It doesn't matter, we will investigate it, but the key now is that we don't know where William is hiding? Do you know?" Gu Chen said.

Wang Wenhai thought for a long time before saying, "I know a place where people can hide better."

"Where?" Gu Chen asked.

Wang Wenhai thought for a moment and quickly added: "One of the places where we attended the party. Yes, it's the place where I stayed."

"There are some high-quality timber bases nearby. There are many vehicles here, which are ready to transport the felled timber away."

"And that place seems to be the 797 Forest Farm."
