I am a super cop

Chapter 2849 Forest Sea Snowfield
"797 Forest Farm?" Gu Chen immediately became interested when he heard this location, and quickly asked, "You mean, 797 Forest Farm is more suitable for hiding people, right?"

"I'm not sure." Wang Wenhai on the phone thought for a moment and said directly:

"I just heard about that place by chance when I was detained by them."

"That seems to be a way out for them, because it is very close to the villa. They also thought that if this place is investigated, then the forest farm might be a way out."

"Of course, I just heard this by chance. As for whether it is true or not, I can't guarantee it, but please believe me, what I said is true."

After a pause, Wang Wenhai continued, "If we can't find anyone at the 797 Forest Farm, then I really can't do anything about it."

"I hope the place you mentioned can help us." said Gu Chen.

It was also after communicating with Wang Wenhai on the phone for a long time that Gu Chen hung up the phone.

Afterwards, Gu Chen made another call to Han Yun to discuss the matter of the 797 Forest Farm with him.

"797 Forest Farm?" When Han Yun on the phone heard this location, he was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly said:

"How could I have forgotten this place?"

"Old Han, what exactly is the 797 Forest Farm?" Gu Chen was also very curious.

Han Yun quickly explained: "The 797 Forest Farm is a deep mountain forest. We used to have a state-owned forest farm that specialized in logging and transporting a lot of high-quality timber."

"But later, because there was too much logging, it was closed. We planned to develop a tourism project, but we lacked funds and necessary things. Although the scenery is beautiful, it cannot be developed in all aspects."

At this point, Han Yun continued to think: "I remember that there are forest rangers over there. If William and the others hide in the forest farm, the forest rangers should be able to find them."

Taking a deep breath, Han Yun said, "Gu Chen, wait for me for a moment. I'll ask for the ranger's phone number and call you later."

"Okay." Hearing Han Yun's words, Gu Chen also agreed.

Then, Han Yun hung up the phone.

And time passed by every second.

It was not until 8 o'clock in the evening that Han Yun called again.

Gu Chen quickly answered the phone and asked, "How is it?"

"Gu Chen, I found the phone number of the forest ranger over there and talked to him. The forest ranger told me that there have been strangers' footprints in the forest farm recently. There are some strange footprints in the snow."

"But because the forest farm has stopped cutting trees a long time ago, the forest rangers' main task is to prevent fires. Fires are not easy to start in winter, so the forest rangers are usually on vacation."

"Occasionally, when someone enters the forest, the forest rangers treat them as tourists who come here to take photos. After all, taking photos in the forest is more photogenic, so there are often some friends who drive themselves to the forest to take photos."

"So that's how it is?" After listening to Han Yun's introduction, Gu Chen asked again:
"Then is it likely that William and the others will enter the forest?"

"Big, very big, because there haven't been any tourists coming here recently. You know, if you want to go into the forest, you have to park your car near the ranger's residence."

"There is a homestay and a restaurant over there, both run by the forest ranger's family, and they mainly make money from tourists."

"However, judging from the footprints, those people did not enter from the main road, but from another trail."

"So the rangers felt that these people did not look like tourists, and that the path actually led all the way to the villa we investigated."

"That means there is a high probability that William escaped from the woods?" Gu Chen said.

"You can understand it that way, but the problem we need to solve now is to send enough people to search for people in the woods," said Han Yun.

"Yeah." Gu Chen was silent for a moment, then asked, "When does the search mission start?"

"Let's go tomorrow. We'll set out early tomorrow morning when the sun comes out. After all, searching in the woods at night is inefficient and dangerous," said Han Yun.

Gu Chen nodded: "I'll listen to you, then we will set off together tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll pick you up tomorrow." Han Yun on the phone also quickly promised.

The two of them had a brief conversation and then hung up the phone.

……

……

The next morning, as agreed, Han Yun picked up Gu Chen's team early in the car, and then rushed to the 797 Forest Farm in a hurry.

When Gu Chen's vehicle stopped at an open space outside the forest farm, the surrounding area was already filled with various vehicles.

Since the search mission was confirmed, the Songcheng police dispatched additional personnel overnight, set up surveillance around the forest farm, and waited for daybreak to begin the search mission.

"Is everyone here?" After parking the car, Han Yun started communicating with everyone.

"Don't worry, Lao Han. We have been on standby here since last night."

"Yes, just waiting for dawn."

……

Several veteran police officers were also chattering away. They were all impatient and were just waiting for daybreak so that they could all go into the woods together.

It's like hunting, everyone feels it's exciting.

And in terms of personnel configuration, they are basically fully armed police forces, so everyone is quite confident.

"Okay." Han Yun looked at the hands on his watch and then looked at the horizon.

At this moment, the warm sun is slowly rising and the light around is beginning to become brighter.

When Han Yun saw that the time was right, he quickly gave the order: "Let's go, everyone, go into the forest."

After receiving the order, all police forces immediately armed themselves and began to move towards the forest farm.

For a moment, everyone lined up in a row, and the scene was spectacular.

Han Yun glanced at Gu Chen and the others, and reminded them, "Let's go in together."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, then led his team members and started walking towards the forest farm.

Since there were already investigators ahead, and Han Yun and his companions were walking behind, they also played a role in command and coordination.

While walking in the snow, Han Yun reminded Gu Chen, "There used to be a lot of wild animals in our forest, like the Siberian tiger, which used to be wild."

"And there are blind bears. They are very big. If ordinary people see them, they have to run away immediately."

"In fact, the number of cases of wild animals injuring people has increased significantly in recent years."

"On the one hand, the ecology here is getting better and better, and more and more wild animals will choose to live here."

"However, there are conflicts between humans and animals, and they need to compete for territory."

"So, when you enter the forest, you must be careful."

"Old Han, according to what you said, do we have a chance to see a blind bear?" Lu Weiwei became even more excited when she heard this. Han Yun grinned and said, "If we are lucky, we might be able to see one, but it is winter now and the bears are hibernating, so the chances of seeing one are very small."

"Besides, encountering a blind bear is not a good thing. It means you have to run away quickly. Those guys are big, especially wild ones, and they are most in need of food."

"So, there is a high possibility that humans will become their food."

"Old Han, stop talking. It sounds more and more terrifying the more you listen." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but complain as she listened to Han Yun's introduction.

Han Yun grinned and said, "I was just joking. After all, the probability of encountering these things is still very small."

"They rarely enter places where humans live. Unless they can't find food and are really hungry, they will come to human gathering areas to get something to eat."

"In our forest area, people often report encountering blind bears."

Having said that, Han Yun also took a deep breath and said:

"It is best for us not to provoke the wild animals here. If we see wild animals, we should avoid them if possible and have a sense of respect for them."

"I understand." Seeing that Han Yun explained it in such detail, Gu Chen also kept it in mind.

Afterwards, everyone continued to walk towards the heart of the forest farm.

There is no road here at all, or rather, all the gaps between trees are roads.

Therefore, the forestry staff here will draft some signs and reminders on the plank roads in the scenic area to facilitate tourists' visits.

As the search progressed further, they seemed to feel the thickness of the snow around them increasing.

After Lu Weiwei's knees were completely submerged, she couldn't help but complain, "Why is the snow so heavy here? It's not like this in the city. It feels completely illogical."

"Haha, what logic is there in this?" Officer Wang couldn't help but complain when he heard it.

But Lu Weiwei disagreed and said, "What I mean is that the conditions in the urban area and the forest farm are very different, and the degree of snowfall is also different."

"As soon as it snows in the city, the streets immediately become busy with all kinds of vehicles."

"But here in the forest farm, it seems that very few people come here, and everything here seems to remain the same as it was before."

"Especially the snow here, after it falls, it basically stays here."

"Yes." After listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Gu Chen also echoed:
"In fact, in my opinion, the fact that the snow here has not been destroyed just proves that William did not go far. Otherwise, those footprints would have been left behind."

"But now it seems that we haven't found their footprints yet."

"Yes." Han Yun was a little anxious, so he quickly shouted to the team: "Who is the forest ranger here?"

"Lao Gao, we're calling you." A police officer began to remind Lao Gao, who ran the convenience store.

"I'm coming." After being called, Lao Gao immediately walked out of the crowd, walked up to Han Yun and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Can you find the footprints you found earlier?"

"Sure." Facing Han Yun's reminder, Lao Gao also volunteered and quickly said:
"I want to clarify that I did see some new footprints before. At that time, all tourists entering the forest farm were required to check in at my store."

"But the footprints I found didn't have any registration at all. I guess they might be trying to escape. But now that I see you guys coming, I suddenly feel that the atmosphere is a little off."

"So, do you remember which direction those people went?" asked Officer Wang.

"Uh, this..."

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Gao immediately entered thinking mode.

But soon, he gave a general direction: "It should be along the mountains."

"Because the footprints I saw before were heading in that direction."

"It didn't snow much before, so their footprints were relatively shallow."

"But now the snow is getting heavier, and their footprints are soon buried by the heavy snow."

“It’s a little difficult to find it again, but not particularly difficult.”

"Then tell me how to find it?" Han Yun asked, shaking his fingers.

Lao Gao hesitated for a moment again. After thinking it over again, he slowly said:
"How about you just follow me later and I'll take you into the mountains."

"But we have to make it clear in advance that I will be your guide and you need to pay me some guide fees."

"That's for sure." Seeing someone leading the way, and in a forest covered with thick snow.

Therefore, no one had any objection to Lao Gao charging a fee for being a guide.

Soon, the team began to move further into the mountains.

But everyone found that the houses here seemed to all have yards, and there were more low houses.

It is said that you can buy a house here for tens of thousands of dollars, which has made many police officers start thinking about these issues.

"Comrade police officer, look, that's the big tree, do you see it?" After leading everyone for a distance, Lao Gao began to show everyone the way.

Everyone saw it soon, and Yuan Shasha asked curiously:

“Is there anything special about this tree?”

"No, but this tree is an old tree at a fork in the road. There are two different directions, leading to different places."

“And this tree is the dividing point.”

At this point, Lao Gao pointed to the left and said, "On the left, to the left of the tree, there is a lake. If you like lakes, you can go over there. There are small paths in the mountains, and the roads are well built."

"But to the right, that's the direction to the top of the mountain, and it's going to be very bumpy along the way."

“Plus, we need to search the mountain, so it’s not practical to take a car.”

"That's for sure." Listening to Lao Gao's story, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh, "That's exactly what happened. If those people hadn't had any cold-resistant gear when they entered the forest, they would have been taught a lesson every minute."

Everyone's opinions were basically the same, and everyone turned their eyes to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, looked towards Han Yun.

So Gu Chen quickly asked again: "Old Han, the footprints here are not very clear, but we can vaguely see some. Let's look for them based on this."

"No." Facing Gu Chen's statement, Han Yun immediately refuted it and explained:

"We can still see some of the other side's footprints now, but soon these footprints will be covered by heavy snow."

"By then, we could get lost in the snow at any time. This is no joke."

Taking a deep breath, Han Yun continued, "Searching in the forest in the snow is no different from other operations. We must be very careful, cautious, and cautious."
