Chapter 895

3 points in the early hours.

In a small forest on the outskirts of Guangming Town.

Gao Min took many members of the Volunteer Association and searched in the depths of the woods.

Gu Chen brought Zhang Mu to the front, scanned the darkness in front of him with a tactical flashlight, and asked Zhang Mu, "Where is the man?"

"It's in the ravine in front of you." Zhang Mu pointed to the approximate area with his finger.

Gu Chen glanced at Gao Min who was beside him. Gao Min nodded silently with a serious face, and then called several villagers with dogs to check the situation.

After sniffing the clothes that Uncle Qin was wearing before, several Chinese pastoral dogs began to search along the darkness.

The dog searches in the front, and the person searches in the back.

For a moment, flashlights intertwined in the woods, illuminating the area brightly.

Not long after, a Chinese pastoral dog suddenly barked at the gully dog ​​in front of it, and was grabbed by the villagers on the leash.

Gu Chen hurried forward and came to his side.

"Officer Gu, there seems to be a situation ahead," said the villager with the dog.

"Go and have a look." Gu Chen shone the tactical flashlight forward.

Immediately, a super-strong light beam illuminated the entire area in front of him extremely brightly.

The two moved forward slowly...

But at this moment, the Chinese pastoral dog barked louder towards the ravine.

"It should be here, I'll go and have a look." The villagers frowned, and walked forward first, under the guidance of Gu Chen's light, they removed the leaves covering the ravine one by one.

But when the fourth branch was removed, the villagers let out an "ah" in fright, and quickly stepped back.

"What's the situation?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked him.

"Officer Gu, it's... Uncle Qin."

"found it?"

Hearing this, Police Officer Wang quickly trotted over from another place, and everyone immediately gathered around the lights.

Several people worked together to clean up all the remaining tree branches. Uncle Qin, whose head was covered in blood, was lying in the gully at this moment.

Police officer Wang squatted down to check, but then shook his head and said: "The man is dead, it was caused by a heavy blow to the head."

"So... really it's Old Qin?" After Gao Min saw Uncle Qin's body, he took a few steps back in fright, and turned to look at Zhang Mu beside him.

"So, the corpse in the uncle's room is really my elder brother Gao Ming? And uncle Qin was also killed by you?"

Zhang Mu raised his head and glanced at her, but said nothing.

"You bastard." Gao Min couldn't restrain the anger in his heart anymore, rushed forward and slapped Zhang Mu across the face.

Then he searched randomly on the ground, picked up a stone, and was about to throw it at Zhang Mu's head.

"What?"

"stop it now."

"Stop her, stop her quickly."

Everyone panicked when they saw it, they rushed forward and quickly controlled Gao Min.

"Let go of me, if I don't beat him to death today, I won't be Gao Min."

"Kill me? Come on!" Zhang Mu seemed to be angry too. He stepped forward in a rage, pointed to his head and said, "Your brother wanted to kill people more than ten years ago. I've lived until now. That’s my fate, it’s my own ability.”

Gao Min seemed frightened by Zhang Mu's aura, his right hand holding the stone trembled, but he still didn't dare to move.

"Enough." Gu Chen quickly walked between the two, took the stone from Gao Min's hand, and threw it aside.

"Ms. Gao, this case is handed over to our police, please don't do anything out of line."

Looking back at Zhang Mu, Gu Chen said again: "Zhang Mu, you can actually deal with this matter through legal channels, but you deliberately killed people for personal revenge. Do you know what this means?"

"Of course I know." Zhang Mu snorted twice, and couldn't help the tears from the corners of his eyes: "I thought all the arrangements were watertight, I thought that breaking the concept of time, using the identity of a foreigner who came to Guangming Town for the first time as a cover , you can escape accountability.”

Looking at Gu Chen, Zhang Mu felt a little desperate: "But I didn't expect that the collapse of an old bridge would make you policemen stay here."

"What I didn't expect was that you actually live in a bungalow in the suburbs."

"Maybe this is God's will." Lu Weiwei said.

"Hehe, you're also right." Zhang Mu smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes, and said indignantly, "I've also thought about it, why don't I forget it? After all, with your police present, there may be mistakes in my plan."

"But I still believe in my own experience. I believe that you police may not be able to find out it's me, because I feel that I have already arranged enough."

"However, after thousands of calculations, I didn't expect Officer Gu to be so capable. He locked me in just an hour after the crime happened."

Zhang Mu was not convinced, and felt that he was unlucky this time, because he didn't count such a powerful character as Gu Chen.

If he was given another chance, maybe he would choose to stop, but...he has no choice now.

Gu Chen saw Zhang Mu's dissatisfaction, stepped forward and asked him: "If, I mean if, if you were given another chance, would you give up this action?"

Zhang Mu stared blankly, and looked at Gu Chen in surprise, as if Gu Chen could see through his thoughts at a glance.

Zhang Mu cried, shook his head, and covered his cheeks with his handcuffed hands: "Give up? I'm not reconciled."

"It's a pity to give up, but there are some things that are meaningless to insist on." Gu Chen said.

Zhang Mu looked up at Gu Chen.

But this time, he was really convinced, and nodded silently to express his understanding.

Afterwards, everyone arranged the bodies of Gao Ming and Uncle Qin overnight and placed them under the eaves of the bungalow.

After dawn, after the temporary steel bridge is erected, it will be loaded away by special vehicles.

And Zhang Mu was also brought back to the police station by Gu Chen.

However, watching the police car leave slowly, Zhou Xiaoling standing on the bridge seemed to be dreaming.

That man who kept saying he loved him was taken away by the police in this way?

Zhou Xiaoling was terrified.

Fortunately, Zhang Mu's goal is not his own. If Zhang Mu really calculated this, then the person lying in the body bag today may be himself.

While everyone was still discussing this matter, Zhou Xiaoling squatted on the side of the road alone, crying out of fright.

……

……

Sunny weather on Saturday.

Gu Chen ushered in a short weekend.

At home, in the bedroom.

Compared with the usual accurate biological clock, Gu Chen deliberately woke up an hour later.

The mother and father at home have already gone to the non-staple food supermarket.

On the dining table are milk and toast prepared by mother Xiao Xiaofang.

After Gu Chen washed up, he wiped out the breakfast on the table for a short while, and suddenly felt that being alone at home was boring enough.

Pushing open the balcony window, the road is full of traffic, and the fast-paced life seems to have nothing to do with me.

Downstairs, a pair of old men are arguing because they want to compete for the old lady who is the same square dancing partner.

On the other side of the road is a car driver who is changing a spare tire. He seems to be a novice, and his movements are not so smooth.

A little fat man passing by with ice cream fell and dropped the ice cream on the ground.

After quickly observing that there was no one around, he secretly picked up the ice cream on the ground and left as if nothing had happened.

A few huge magpies flew overhead, and they came to the big tree in front of the window and screamed non-stop.

"There are all magpies?" Gu Chen was also stunned, feeling that the greening level of Jiangnan City is getting higher and higher recently.

Just a while ago, Gu Chen found that the number of swallows around him had also increased a lot.

It can be seen that in the past few years, Jiangnan City has also taken pains to establish a national forest city again.

Gu Chen remembered that he hadn't seen swallows for many years. The accelerated industrialization process had led to the continuous deterioration of the environment. The birds that he often saw when he was a child seemed to disappear without saying hello.

But in recent years, after the slogan of "we want mountains of gold and silver, but also green mountains and green mountains", Gu Chen personally felt that the birds that disappeared back then have returned.

Seeing swallows flying around in the wind in rainy days has always been the source of happiness for Gu Chen when he was a child.

Now, the joy is back.

Putting on a casual suit and a pair of white shoes, Gu Chen went downstairs to the non-staple food supermarket at home.

Walking to the refrigerator, he took out a bottle of Nutrition Express, and Gu Chen gulped down a few sips.

"Drink less iced drinks, it's not good for your stomach." Gu Baichuan ordered a few items lightly, walked to the cash register and sat down.

"Dad, my stomach is made of iron." Gu Chen said with a smile.

"The iron can't be ruined like this." Gu Baichuan took out a pair of reading glasses, started to take out the computer, and calculated the accounts.

Gu Chen scratched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Then I also saw that my cousin ate small flower snakes and insects raw, and drank dew collected from the wild, and I didn't see him get sick or anything."

"Can it be the same?" Xiao Xiaofang also walked out from the shelf, threw a few empty cardboard boxes at the door, turned her head and said:
"Your cousin is a frogman in the Marine Corps. His physical fitness is much better than that of your police officers. Don't learn from your cousin. People's bodies are different."

"Understood." Gu Chen picked up the Nutrition Express that he drank only two sips, a little guilty: "I just took two sips, you can't let me put it back now, right?"

"Give it to the kitten." Xiao Xiaofang took the Nutrition Express from Gu Chen's hand, walked to the entrance of the non-staple food supermarket, and poured it into a small basin.

A little tabby cat lurking in the grass rushed over with a "whoosh".

After meowing a few times, I began to enjoy this rare delicacy.

"Son." Xiao Xiaofang glanced at Gu Chen and asked, "You said that you are usually so busy at work, so you just stay at home like this when you come home?"

"Otherwise?" Gu Chen shrugged and said with a smile, "Accompany you, old man."

"I don't have any female colleagues, so I just... want to play with you?" Xiao Xiaofang asked tentatively.

Gu Chen shook his head: "Our colleagues have different days off, and when someone takes a break, someone has to go to work."

"Then it's too boring for you to be a policeman? Look at your Aunt Zhang's son. Although he only graduated from high school, he is now a screenwriter. He earns hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands a year, and his daughter How old are you, he seems to be one year older than you, right?"

Gu Chen: "..."

"so?"

"So the point is, his daughter is several years old, but you don't even have a girlfriend now."

"Haha, my son's career has just started, and it's okay to get married a few years later." Gu Baichuan, who was settling accounts, was not worried at all.

With his son's appearance, the girls from several streets rushed to get to know him, why worry about not having a daughter-in-law in the future?
Xiao Xiaofang glanced at Gu Baichuan, and said in a bad mood: "Husband, although what you said is true, but my son is like a workaholic every day, and he rarely has the opportunity to meet outstanding girls outside of work."

After thinking about it, Xiao Xiaofang suddenly said, "Oh, right, son, your female colleague named Lu Weiwei, the pretty girl in the group photo of your department, I think she is quite nice, what do you think?"

"Very good." Gu Chen nodded silently.

Seeing her son cherish words like gold, Xiao Xiaofang asked again: "Apart from her, do you know any other girls?"

"Uh, this..."

Gu Chen was at a loss for words for a while.

Thinking that every time a strange girl came to talk to him, Lu Weiwei would send him away intentionally or unintentionally, and felt that he didn't have any chance to meet some strange girls, so he smiled and shook his head: "No."

"That can't be done." Xiao Xiaofang was anxious when she heard that, and warned in the tone of someone who has been here: "I tell your son, don't look at you, you are handsome, you have inherited the genes of me and your father, but you also have to meet some girls. .”

"You are obsessed with work all day long, that's not okay, isn't this a waste of face?"

"If you ask me, your colleague Lu Weiwei is pretty good, she looks pretty good, even though she is two years older than you, but it doesn't matter, your mother and I are not old-fashioned, as long as you are a good person and respect your parents, that's fine ?”

"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen quickly turned his head.

I feel that if this topic is discussed, maybe my mother Xiao Xiaofang will have to chatter for a long time.

"Uncle Gu, have a bottle of Coke." The sweaty man wiped his face with oily hands, his face was tired.

Gu Baichuan looked up, and suddenly said with a smile: "Yo? Xiao He, I was talking about you just now."

"Talking about me? What about me?" He Xiaofan took the Coke from Gu Baichuan, also with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Say you are one year older than our Gu Chen, how old is your daughter?" Xiao Xiaofang came over to answer the question.

"Yo, Aunt Xiao, I didn't see you just now." Seeing this, He Xiaofan also greeted with a smile.

Xiao Xiaofang took a look, but smiled and said: "What's wrong with you? How did you become a little cat drinking pots of milk at the entrance of my supermarket?"

"Ah?" Realizing that there was something on his face, He Xiaofan took out his phone and used it as a mirror, and then he said excitedly, "Isn't this a flat tire? I changed a tire on the side of the road, making my whole body dirty."

"So you were the one who changed the spare tire across the road just now?"

Gu Chen wanted to say something just now, He Xiaofan looks familiar, is that the person he saw on the balcony just now?

He Xiaofan also smiled: "That's right, I was the one who changed the tire on the opposite side of the road just now. It's hot enough to change a tire in this hot day. I feel that the first half of the day is really unlucky. I have been unlucky until now. What can I do? Unlucky No.1."

Gu Chen glanced at Xiao Xiaofang, and then asked He Xiaofan: "What's wrong? When the big screenwriter also has troubles?"

"There are so many troublesome things." While speaking, He Xiaofan unscrewed the cap of the Coke bottle, took a few sips, and then "huh", feeling refreshed.

Gu Baichuan asked him: "Isn't there a work written by you that is being screened? Your mother, Sister Zhang, has told me several times."

"That's right, isn't this pretty good? Fame and fortune, it's one step closer to your dream of being a great screenwriter." Xiao Xiaofang also thinks that this kid He Xiaofan has promise.

The key person has only graduated from high school, and he is both a writer and a screenwriter. It feels like his mother is going to blow him up.

He talked about his son's future with everyone, as if no one in the community knew about it.

"Hehe." He Xiaofan laughed dryly, and said in embarrassment: "As far as my mother's mouth is concerned, I don't want to say anything. I only achieved such a small achievement, and he will publicize it to everyone, making people think I am It's a big shot."

"But isn't your dream to be a great screenwriter?" Gu Chen turned his pen with his right hand and asked him curiously.

He Xiaofan looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and said involuntarily, "That's right, my dream is to be a screenwriter, and a great screenwriter at that, but now I'm one step closer to my dream."

"Huh?" Hearing He Xiaofan's words, Gu Baichuan took off his reading glasses and asked curiously, "How do you say that?"

"Uncle Gu, you don't know." He Xiaofan changed his stance and leaned against the counter to complain:
"Looking back on the past six months, it's really difficult. Whenever I recall those heart-wrenching moments, I suddenly realize that the calendar has turned to the next month. It turns out that I have walked so far before I knew it." .”

It felt like He Xiaofan was acting in a stage play, his movements and expressions were very good, Gu Chen also asked with a suppressed smile, "What's the matter? Encountered difficulties?"

"Yeah." He Xiaofan lowered his head, and said listlessly: "There are only a handful of projects in the first half of the year, but there are no good projects, and there are a lot of bad projects."

"This confuses me a lot. Think about it, don't accept bad projects. You have to support your family and make money to support your family, right? But accepting bad projects will affect your status."

"So, you have difficulty choosing?" Gu Chen saw He Xiaofan's entanglement at a glance.

He Xiaofan nodded: "Bad... almost, it's like you fancy a piece of clothing, but it has several colors."

"You have hesitated for a long time, but you don't know which color is more suitable for you, until one day you see a rich man and buy all the colors."

"At that moment, I realized that our choices are difficult, but in fact, our choices are limited by 'poor'."

Glancing at Gu Chen, He Xiaofan also sighed and said, "I'm in this situation now. Although I have participated in a few big projects, the results have been good, and my net worth has also increased."

"But now it's a bit too high or too low. If I were a rich person who bought clothes and was a big screenwriter, I could choose script projects by myself, and I could pick whichever I wanted. What's ridiculous about me now is that I Even in order to support the family, I don’t know how to accept the project.”

"How do you say that?" Gu Chen also nodded slightly, and thoughtfully said: "Your situation may be like modern people who cannot live without their mobile phones. It's like struggling to get up and move a brick."

Glancing at He Xiaofan, Gu Chen said again: "Then I want to know, was it a dream or an alarm clock that woke you up?"
