I am a super cop

Chapter 2903 Lost Contact Outdoors
After a week of rainy days, Jiangnan City welcomed the long-awaited sunny weather.

As the temperature warms up, various flowers are in full bloom, so every weekend, residents of Jiangnan City go out of their homes and go outdoors to take photos of flowers and plants.

At this time, the only cherry tree in the backyard of Furong Branch was in full bloom, and under the tree, people began to line up to take pictures.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lu Weiwei, can you hurry up? You keep dilly-dallying. When will these photos be ready?"

Seeing that Lu Weiwei had been posing for a long time at the best angle under the cherry tree, Officer Wang couldn't help but complain.

"Old Wang, why are you in such a hurry? Why is a grown man like you taking pictures of cherry blossoms?" Lu Weiwei didn't care about that and continued to let Yuan Shasha choose the angle for her.

Yuan Shasha grinned and said quickly: "Senior Sister Lu, raise your head a little higher, yes, and relax your expression a little more, okay, don't move, that's it."

After a moment, Yuan Shasha handed the phone to Lu Weiwei: "Senior Sister Lu, what do you think?"

"Eh? Nice photos, Xiao Yuan, you have a natural talent as a photographer."

"Haha, Senior Sister Lu, you're too kind." Yuan Shasha felt very happy when she heard Lu Weiwei say that.

Seeing this, Officer Wang also hurriedly urged: "Xiao Yuan, please take a picture for me as well."

"Hey, Lao Wang, why are you taking pictures like a grown man?" Lu Weiwei was a little unhappy when she heard it.

Officer Wang sighed and continued, "Everyone has posted this photo of the cherry blossom tree on their WeChat Moments. Even Director Zhao took a photo of it. And Director Qin came to our branch yesterday to inspect it and also took a photo here."

"All the leaders are posting pictures of cherry blossom trees on their Moments. If I don't post one, I'll seem out of place."

"Almost everyone in the office has this cherry tree on their social media, so what's wrong with me taking a picture of it?"

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Officer Wang also wanted to follow the crowd, Lu Weiwei said indifferently: "Xiao Yuan, then you can take a picture for Old Wang."

"Okay, Brother Wang, give me your phone."

"Here." Officer Wang handed over the phone readily.

"Brother Wang, please stand a little closer. Yes, show your moves."

When Yuan Shasha said to pose, Officer Wang crossed his arms across his chest with a serious expression.

Yuan Shasha glanced at it through the phone screen and chuckled, "Brother Wang, there's no need to act so serious."

"What is that inappropriate action?" Officer Wang looked curious.

"Just be casual and show more expression. If you always have a stern face, it won't look good in any photo."

"Have a more expressive face? Just... smile?" asked Officer Wang.

"Yes, just smile." said Yuan Shasha.

"Okay, I understand." After nodding silently, Officer Wang also smiled.

But when Yuan Shasha saw it, she couldn't help but laughed out loud.

Lu Weiwei took a look and burst out laughing, "Old Wang, why is it that your smile is uglier than your cry? Don't you know how to smile normally?"

"Uh..." Feeling a little awkward, Officer Wang quickly said, "It's natural to smile normally, but this time I smiled specifically for taking pictures, so I... I was a little nervous."

"Then just think about Xiaobei, and think about how happy you are to have such a lovely daughter. Wouldn't that help you smile naturally?" Lu Weiwei immediately gave Officer Wang advice.

When Officer Wang heard this, his expression suddenly turned somewhat helpless, and he said, "Don't mention Xiao Bei. He only knows how to bully male classmates at school every day."

With a sigh, Officer Wang continued, "It's really worrying. Every time I think of Xiaobei, I become gloomy and can't even smile."

"Well, okay then. I won't make things difficult for you, Old Wang. Just do whatever you want. As long as you can post it on WeChat Moments, that's fine, right?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

"Yes, yes, yes. Just take pictures like Director Zhao and Director Qin. They also have stern faces."

"But you don't have her temperament." Lu Weiwei complained.

"That's not important." Officer Wang waved his hand and continued, "Sometimes temperament is innate. I like a dull expression, so I look honest in photos."

"Okay." When Yuan Shasha heard this, she quickly pressed the shutter button according to Officer Wang's actions.

"Okay, Brother Wang, can you take a look?"

Officer Wang took the phone and took a look: "Wow, the picture is really good, this is a good snapshot, the movements are very natural."

Looking up at Yuan Shasha, Officer Wang praised her generously: "Xiao Yuan, you are quite good at taking photos."

"Haha, thank you, Senior Brother Wang." Yuan Shasha also responded quickly.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei saw Gu Chen approaching from a distance, so she quickly waved to Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, come quickly."

"Ah?" Seeing that everyone was here, Gu Chen also hurried over: "So you are all here?"

"Yes, the cherry blossoms are so beautiful, it would be a pity if you don't come to take pictures. Why don't you take a picture with me too?"

As soon as the voice fell, Lu Weiwei immediately pulled Gu Chen to the foot of the cherry tree and handed the phone to Yuan Shasha: "Xiao Yuan, help me take a few pictures with Junior Brother Gu."

"Okay." Yuan Shasha made an OK gesture and immediately started filming the two of them.

I have to say, Gu Chen looks like a model just standing there.

Although there are no extra movements, he looks very energetic and handsome.

After the photo shoot, many female police officers from the police station came over when they saw what was happening.

"Director Gu, please take a photo with us as well."

"Yes, Director Gu, let's take a photo together."

"Director Gu, Director Gu."

Amid the calls for taking photos, Gu Chen could only stand there and act as a model for taking photos and checking in.

When everyone got what they wanted, Gu Chen reminded everyone, "Let's go to the office."

"Okay." After completing the task, everyone started walking towards the office.

But when everyone passed through the corridor and arrived at the lobby of the office building, a middle-aged woman was already crying.

There were two young policewomen around to comfort her.

Seeing this, Gu Chen did not go upstairs directly, but walked directly to the middle-aged woman and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Director Gu, her daughter is missing." said a tall and thin trainee female police officer.

Another tall and thin female police officer also said quickly: "She said her daughter went hiking outdoors, and now she has lost contact and the phone can't be reached."

"There is no signal when climbing mountains, right? I climb mountains often, and there is no signal in the mountains." Gu Chen also hurried to comfort.

But the middle-aged woman wiped her tears and said quickly, "No, it should take two days and one night to climb that mountain, or three days and two nights at most. But now five days have passed and there is no news from my daughter." After sniffing, the middle-aged woman continued, "I called her friends, but they didn't hear any news from her either."

"He must have been in danger, otherwise she would not have failed to contact me, woo woo."

At the end of her speech, the middle-aged woman continued to wipe her tears with the tissue in her hand.

When Lu Weiwei heard this, she continued to ask, "What did your daughter tell you at that time?"

"She said she was traveling with a group of people, just hiking and trekking in the mountains."

"My plan is two days and one night, three days and two nights at most."

"I was afraid that he might get into an accident, so I told him repeatedly, and she agreed, to call me when she got to the mountain with a cell phone signal."

"Then wait until she comes out of the mountain and call her again."

"But now, five days have passed and my daughter hasn't called me once. She must be in danger and must still be trapped in the mountains. Wow, what should I do?"

Seeing the middle-aged woman say this and also told Gu Chen the details, Gu Chen immediately reminded: "Then call for help immediately."

"I... I was in a hurry. That's why I didn't have time to call. My family lives nearby, so I came here to report the case and explain the situation to you. My daughter must not be in any danger, wuwu."

Seeing the middle-aged woman so sad, Gu Chen could only comfort her: "It doesn't matter. If your daughter hasn't contacted you, it means she should still be in the mountains."

"But the key is, you have to tell me, what mountain did she climb?"

"Wufeng Mountain." said the middle-aged woman.

"Wufeng Mountain? It's quite far from our Jiangnan City, spanning two cities." Yuan Shasha said.

The middle-aged woman also said slowly: "She said she was going to the mountains to set up a tent. I asked how many people were going with her? She said two people, with another girl."

"They brought tents and outdoor backpacks and went out. I told them to be careful outside and she told us not to worry."

"She said that outdoor hiking route was full of people, and that friend had done it twice before and was very familiar with the area, so she reassured me."

"She just told me that there would be no cell phone signal after entering the mountains."

"I said, then give me a call before you go into the mountains, and call me again after you leave."

"But now, there is nothing. I am worried. What if something unexpected happens? I really shouldn't have agreed to go hiking with her in the first place."

"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, contact the scenic area management office over there first."

While Gu Chen was talking, he also quickly asked everyone around him: "What is the phone number of the Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area Management Office?"

"I have it. I just found it." The short-haired trainee policewoman beside her quickly showed her cell phone number.

Gu Chen glanced at the number and dialed it directly.

Soon, the call was connected, and Gu Chen quickly asked, "Is this the Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area Management Office?"

"I'm from the Furong Branch of Jiangnan City. A mother came to report that her daughter lost contact while hiking in Wufeng Mountain. Can you send someone into the mountains to search for her?"

Gu Chen also explained to the Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area Management Office the details of what the middle-aged woman had just told him.

After discussing many details and leaving the middle-aged woman's phone number, Gu Chen finally hung up the phone and said:
"I have already called the rescue team for you. The rescue work has already begun. You can go to the Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area Management Office and wait for news there."

"Okay." Hearing Gu Chen's words, the middle-aged woman thanked him and immediately turned around and left, preparing to go to Wufeng Mountain.

Seeing that the middle-aged woman had left, Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and led everyone upstairs.

……

……

At 7: in the evening, in the office, Gu Chen was still looking through the documents in his hand when a phone call came in.

Gu Chen saw that it was the number he had called before, the Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area Management Office, so he quickly swiped the answer button: "Hello."

"Is this Director Gu? We are Mr. Zhang from the Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area Management Office."

"Hello, Lao Zhang, what's going on? Has today's rescue operation started?" Gu Chen asked.

"It has already started. We have sent out our rescue team, a total of eight people, who have now entered the mountain. However, according to the staff of our management office, they have not seen the two girls here."

"Never seen it? No way? Don't we need to register our identity information when entering a hiking area?" Gu Chen asked.

After all, I had been hiking here before, and I knew that there were two routes in the Wufeng Mountain Scenic Area. One was the scenic area route, which involved walking up the stairs or taking a cable car to the top.

The other route is a hiking route up the mountain, which requires crossing a long ridge line to finally reach the top of the mountain.

However, to enter the entrance of this hiking route, you need to register your identity information and pay some sanitation fees.

So just by checking the registration records, you can know when the two girls entered.

But now Mr. Zhang from the management office said that the identity information of the two women did not appear in the registration book at all.

"How could this happen? You mean, they didn't register at the entrance, so they may not have entered the scenic area?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes." Lao Zhang on the other end of the phone quickly replied: "You have never been in here, how can we get in?"

"What if they don't go into the mountains? Then we'll be in vain."

"Generally speaking, you need to register before entering the mountains. This is a matter of common sense." Old Zhang on the other end of the phone was also very helpless at this moment.

But Gu Chen was more familiar with Wufeng Mountain, so he asked Lao Zhang again: "Lao Zhang, is there any other route to get into the mountain?"

"Other places?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lao Zhang also hesitated: "Yes, there are."

"Is it the route to the waterfall?" Gu Chen knew there was a shortcut, so he asked quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing that Gu Chen knew that route, Lao Zhang quickly replied:

"It's the route to the waterfall. The route over there is more dangerous. Although the journey can be shortened a lot, it is still very difficult to climb up, mainly because the slope is too steep."

"I remember that there were only dirt roads over there before. Is it the same now?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Yes, there is still a dirt path over there. Since not many people climb up the mountain from that side, people usually go there to see the waterfall."

"It just so happens that the sky cleared up after the rain. There are a lot of people taking photos under the waterfall these days."

"Oh." After hearing what Lao Zhang said, he asked again:
"Hey, Lao Zhang, it's been raining in Jiangnan City these days. How's the weather over there?"

"The weather these days hasn't been very good. Sometimes it's cloudy and rainy, sometimes it's sunny. And as you know, the weather in the mountains is unpredictable," said Lao Zhang.
