"I think?" Although Gu Chen is already used to asking himself about Police Officer Wang's indecision, it is difficult for Gu Chen to answer this question at this time.
After closing the documents in front of him, Gu Chen took out a sticky note, and then began to write the names of Wan Xiaomin, Lu Yuan, Xu Zhe and Hu Ming on it.
Gu Chen first saw Wan Xiaomin and Xu Zhe circled, and said, "These two people have disappeared."
Afterwards, Gu Chen circled Lu Yuan again and said, "This person was not at the scene last night."
Looking up at Police Officer Wang, Gu Chen asked again: "Senior Brother Wang, how do you feel now?"
"Isn't there only Hu Ming left?" Officer Wang crossed his arms and said hesitantly:
"However, after Hu Ming left the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory alone last night, he never went back. He has an alibi. He stayed at the Wangjiang Hotel until we found him."
"But from the timeline, Hu Ming does have conditions." Gu Chen saw that Police Officer Wang was still insisting on his own opinion, so he drew a timeline under the names of everyone.
Starting from the far left, mark the specific time in turn, and muttered in his mouth:
"Assuming that Ah Zhe is the mysterious person, then after meeting Wan Xiaomin last night, he came out of Sanyuan Lane at around 6:50, and then went to the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory in advance."
"Then, I now assume that Xu Zhe is the first person among all the people to go to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city."
Mark this information on the timeline, and then, Gu Chen started writing again.
"Then there were Hu Ming and Wan Xiaomin. They were eating next to us at the dining place, but they left a little earlier than us."
"The time they arrived at the family area of Chengxi Chemical Plant was obviously later than that of Ah Zhe."
After marking the time of Wan Xiaomin and Hu Ming, Gu Chen drew another timeline, and then marked down the specific whereabouts of Lu Yuan.
"Lu Yuan is another matter. He was with Zhuang Ke all night last night, and from the point of view of time, there is no problem."
"So, in fact, Lu Yuan has nothing to do with the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory."
"Gu Chen, what do you mean, this disappearance case actually happened between Wan Xiaomin, A Zhe, and this Hu Ming?" Officer Wang seemed to see the problem from the timeline, and couldn't help being curious. Ask Gu Chen.
Gu Chen nodded silently: "It can be understood in this way. I think so. If Wan Xiaomin was kidnapped by Ah Zhe, why did Ah Zhe play disappear? This is not logical."
"Besides, Ah Zhe still has a business in his hand, and his partner specifically told him that he had to go to the stall to pick up new products early this morning, but he didn't even have a sign."
"You know, only Xu Ping and Ah Zhe have the key to the 'Zheping Trading' stall."
"Xu Ping needed to rest after a busy night, so he said "I know you are hiding here, come out now." "
After the tentative warning, there was no movement in the weed pile.
Gu Chen said again: "Who on earth are you? What exactly do you want to do when you come to the old lady's house? Also, was Wan Xiaomin kidnapped by you?"
After some questioning, there was still no movement in the weed pile.
Gu Chen knew that the other party didn't like this at all, so now he played hide and seek with him.
Because of this secret passage, there are many weeds, and they all grow taller than people.
It would be no problem to hide a dozen or so people inside.
It is precisely because Gu Chen knows the danger in this secret passage that Gu Chen will not rush in.
After all, the other party is in the dark, and you are in the light, and you will definitely suffer a loss if you go in. The best way at this time is to wait for support, and then surround the place.
At this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.
For the sake of safety, Gu Chen took the initiative to take a few steps back, then took out his phone and swiped the answer button.
"Gu Chen, what's the situation over there?" On the phone, Officer Wang also looked anxious.
"I'm chasing the man in black. I've come to the entrance of the secret passage. This guy may be hiding here. I need support now." Gu Chen said.
"Then you stay there first, don't go in hastily, I have already called for support, and colleagues will come over soon, you stabilize the situation, don't act rashly." Officer Wang on the phone also repeatedly urged.
What did Gu Chen suddenly think of? He hurriedly asked Police Officer Wang: "Brother Wang, what's the situation with the old lady?"
"The situation is not good." Officer Wang took a deep breath, and then said: "The old lady was strangled by this guy with a rope. When I rushed into the house, I was already unconscious and my breath was very weak."
"It can be said that if we arrive a little later, the old lady may be gone."
"Then what's the situation now?" Gu Chen asked.
"The situation is very bad. I have given artificial respiration to the old lady, but it seems to have little effect. Now I have called 120 and am waiting for the first aid to come."
"Then you pay attention to safety and keep in touch at any time."
"Row."
The two exchanged a few words, then both hung up the phone.
Since it is in an open area, the content of Gu Chen's phone call can actually be heard clearly by the man in black.
Of course, Gu Chen also knew that the man in black could hear it, so he continued to warn, "I know you're hiding inside, do you just want to be a turtle here?"
"My support will arrive soon. If you don't want to be surrounded, just come out obediently and catch me without a fight."
Gu Chen actually knew that the man in black who was hiding in the weeds was also very tangled.
If it continues like this, when the police support arrives and a large-scale search is launched, then hiding here is undoubtedly looking for death.
And Gu Chen's words just now are obviously giving the man in black a chance to surrender on his own initiative.
At this moment, the man in black seemed to be impatient and wanted to escape immediately.
The moment the man in black got up, there was a "swish" rubbing sound in the weed pile.
This movement quickly made Gu Chen outside lock his position.
Based on the previous experience of passing here, Gu Chen quickly conjured up a three-dimensional map in his mind.
And in the secret passage at this time, there is a flashing position, which is also the specific direction where the movement happened just now.
"So it's less than 10 meters away from me?"
After getting the location confirmation, Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer, and immediately turned off the bright flashlight.
Because of the moonlight at this time, it is still shrouded in clouds.
Therefore, the environment at the scene is still dim, and the line of sight is extremely poor.
But Gu Chen's eyesight is extremely poor, so why not the man in black?
Thinking that everyone is under the same conditions, Gu Chen feels that he is not at a disadvantage.
After all, the man in black seems to be very familiar with this secret passage, but Gu Chen has also been here before.
In particular, Gu Chen has a master-level memory, so the basic structure and routes in the secret passage are like a mirror in Gu Chen's heart.
When the two sides were evenly matched, Gu Chen thought for a few seconds before turning off the bright flashlight and preparing to enter the weed pile in the secret passage and capture the man in black alive.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
With various movements coming from the weed pile, the sound of Gu Chen rubbing against the weeds intertwined with the sound of the man in black rubbing against the weeds.
Both sides felt that the other was nearby, especially Gu Chen, who didn't walk towards the man in black's rubbing sound, but walked straight towards the exit of the secret passage.
Gu Chen knew very well that as long as he blocked the other party's way, the man in black would be trapped in the ruins of the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city.
As soon as the police's support arrived, the man in black became a shackle.
It was also based on this that the black-clothed person seemed a little irritable, eager to escape through the secret passage.
There was a rush of rushing in the weeds, both sides were coming and going, but when Gu Chen felt that the other party was approaching, the voice suddenly stopped.
Out of safety considerations, Gu Chen also stopped moving forward.
At this moment, Gu Chen realized that he had come to the depth of the secret passage.
The weeds and vines here almost covered the top of his head.
Even during the day, the sun is hard to come in.
Coupled with the fact that the moonlight was already weak and covered by clouds, Gu Chen felt that he had entered an unfavorable position.
Only then did I understand why the black shadow disappeared in this place after a while of ups and downs.
Gu Chen also suddenly realized that this guy just wanted to lure himself into this depth, so that he could duel with him here.
At this moment, the breeze was blowing, and all kinds of weeds began to make "swirling" friction movements again.
Gu Chen guarded the surroundings, raised his left hand again, and turned on the bright flashlight.
In an instant, the surrounding light was bright.
Holding a bright flashlight in his left hand, Gu Chen began to look around.
But when the flashlight shone on an area, a black shadow suddenly rushed towards the direction of the light source.
Since there wasn't much room to maneuver around, the opponent pounced on Gu Chen directly.
Gu Chen couldn't dodge in time, and was thrown into the weeds by the opponent.
In an instant, Gu Chen found a cold light flashing in front of his eyes, and a sharp dagger suddenly appeared in his sight.
"Shua!"
The man in black moved quickly and ruthlessly, stabbing directly at Gu Chen's forehead.
Gu Chen moved sensitively, but his head was only slightly turned to the right.
A cold light flashed directly from the corner of his eyes, and directly inserted into the soil beside his ears.
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, the mechanical baton in his right hand directly greeted the man in black's forehead.
However, the man in black moved swiftly, dodged in one dodge, and pulled out the sharp blade stuck in the mud.
The two rolled on the spot in the weeds, and both returned to the fighting posture.
At this moment, the distance between the two was less than three meters, and Gu Chen's bright flashlight fell on the lawn beside him during the sneak attack of the man in black just now, and the light directly shone on the weeds.
But even so, Gu Chen can still use the peripheral light of the flashlight to observe the appearance of the other party.
It turned out that the other party was wearing a black suit and a black nylon headgear with elastic, a bit like the nylon headgear worn by racing drivers.
The other party only showed a pair of eyes, and the cheeks were painted with black camouflage, which made it impossible for Gu Chen to judge the other party's true identity through these eyes for a while.
"So professional?" Gu Chen couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart, feeling that the other party should also be a practitioner, and seemed to have experience in jungle survival.
With regard to the strategy of luring himself as the "prey" just now, Gu Chen found out that he was taken to an absolutely unfavorable position by the other party only when he came to the middle of the weeds.
Therefore, he was successfully attacked by the opponent just now.
If it wasn't for his quick response, the knife just now might have directly taken his life away.
Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath, feeling that the opponent's attack was really vicious.
It was almost a trick to kill, without any hesitation.
"Who the hell are you?" Gu Chen adjusted his breathing rhythm, and asked again.
But the other party seemed to have no intention of communicating with Gu Chen at all. After calming down for a while, he brandished his blade again and slashed at Gu Chen.
"Shua! Shua! Shua!"
One after another piercing sounds rang in Gu Chen's ears one after another.
Gu Chen fought and retreated, using the mechanical baton in his hand to defend.
No matter how the opponent attacked, Gu Chen always defended actively, and the blade slashed on the mechanical baton again and again.
Seeing this situation, the man in black was a little impatient. He took two steps back and got ready to fight again.
It seemed that Gu Chen was just delaying time, and in the fight between the man in black and Gu Chen just now, he found that Gu Chen's purpose was not to fight to the death with himself, but to kill the man in black while fighting and retreating. The escape route was blocked.
If Gu Chen hadn't blocked the exit of the secret passage before the fight just now, then now, Gu Chen has already stood on the only way of the secret passage during the fight with the man in black.
And if the man in black wanted to escape again at this moment, he had to pass Gu Chen's barrier first.
But obviously, the man in black also found that Gu Chen was not so easy to deal with.
Just now he made dangerous moves, but Gu Chen backed down and resolved them one by one.
It seems that his fighting skills are not inferior to his own, but he just wants to capture himself alive while avoiding injury.
When the man in black realized Gu Chen's cleverness, he was suddenly impatient.
In addition, at this moment, the man in black also vaguely heard the sound of sirens in the distance.
Although the distance is far away, it is constantly approaching.
Thinking of this, the man in black immediately started to step back, as if he wanted to return to the ruins from the entrance of the secret passage.
Of course, Gu Chen also guessed the other party's intentions, he didn't have the slightest advantage from him, and now he wants to escape from other places.
So after keeping a relatively safe distance from the man in black, the man in black retreated and Gu Chen stepped in.
As soon as the man in black entered, Gu Chen retreated.
Gu Chen now has a lot of time to consume with the man in black, as long as the support arrives, the man in black will definitely be a turtle in the urn.
However, after struggling for a few seconds, the man in black suddenly retreated and ran.
"stop!"
Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and rushed towards the man in black.
The two chased again among the weeds, but this time, Gu Chen discovered that the man in black was not taking the entrance path just now, but was heading straight towards another location in the weeds. past.
After a while, the surrounding area began to quiet down.
Standing in the weeds, Gu Chen suddenly fell into a state of confusion.
"Where did the man in black go? He was still here just now? Why did he suddenly disappear?"
Gu Chen became alert again, feeling that the other party might be the same as last time, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, and rushing over.
So Gu Chen was more careful this time, and did not move his position, but held a mechanical baton in a defensive posture.
Also listen attentively.
Then, as time passed by every minute and every second, there was still no movement around.
Until Gu Chen discovered that there were several strong flashlights shining in the distance, Gu Chen knew that it was his own support who arrived.
"Junior Brother Gu, where are you, Junior Brother Gu?"
Among the crowd, Lu Weiwei had the loudest voice and walked in the front.
When Gu Chen heard this, he also yelled, "I'm here."
"Junior Brother Gu, are you alright?" Lu Weiwei's voice was getting closer and closer, and the beam of the bright flashlight kept passing over her head.
"I'm fine, but the man in black is lost." Gu Chen replied helplessly.
"Gu Chen, where is the man in black now? Is your place safe?" It was Police Officer Wang who could speak, and asked with concern.
"It's safe now, but where is the man in black? I don't know yet. You can approach me, but you must pay attention to safety." Gu Chen said.
