Chapter 2108

Seeing that Ge Bin had finished the matter, Gu Chen stopped worrying too much. Now he was eager to find Huba, Zhao Lei, and the whereabouts of the two missing men and women.

But Gu Chen is also very clear that in this strange jungle, the night is full of unknown risks.

The locals still don't know what kind of beasts are hiding in this dark night? Still dare not advance rashly.

And I have nothing to say about the terrain in this area.

Because apart from the road from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain, Gu Chen doesn't know much about the other areas of Fairy Girl Peak.

This is why Gu Chen desperately wants to rely on Ge Bin and other local people to help him find the missing persons.

With the sound of whistles on the scene, people have come to the top of the mountain one after another, running to the fire to keep warm.

Ge Bin, on the other hand, stood at the intersection on the top of the mountain, constantly counting the number of people.

From time to time, I will ask the people who go up the mountain, how far are other people?

After confirming that everyone's movements were within his control, Ge Bin breathed a sigh of relief.

After the last group of people reached the top of the mountain one after another, Ge Bin hurried to the campfire and reminded Gu Chen:

"Officer Gu, our people have arrived."

"Very good." Gu Chen glanced left and right, picked up a thick tree trunk from his own feet, and said:

"Now, everyone is asking me to find a similar wooden stick for self-defense."

"Did you hear that? Everyone, go look around, find the kind of thicker ones, don't mess with yourself, this is your own life-saving weapon."

Ge Bin also explained to everyone based on Gu Chen's intention.

Seeing this, everyone could only disperse around again.

Gu Chen also needs to ensure the safety of these people, it is impossible to exchange the lives of these people for the whereabouts of the missing people.

Fortunately, there are many trees on the top of Fairy Peak.

Many people who go up the mountain carry certain knives with them.

Everyone immediately began to cut down the surrounding tree trunks, and then used knives to repair them into handy weapons.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei didn't know where to get a thick stick, and walked up to Police Officer Wang directly.

Compared with Lu Weiwei, the one in Police Officer Wang's hand obviously paled in comparison.

"Old Wang, why don't you go looking for another one? Yours doesn't seem to be strong."

"You don't have to worry about it." Seeing Lu Weiwei pretending to be a good person here, Police Officer Wang also said angrily:

"The one in your hand just now was obviously discovered by me first, but you picked it up, how dare you say so?"

Officer Wang seemed to be very concerned about Lu Weiwei taking the wooden stick from her.

But Lu Weiwei smiled and said: "You saw this stick first, but this stick is by my side, so pick it up for nothing."

"Senior Brother Wang, let's make do with it, it feels okay." Yuan Shasha was holding a wooden stick thicker than Lu Weiwei while speaking.

Officer Wang stared blankly, waved his hands and said, "Forget it, I don't believe that there are many people and strength, but I will meet a beast tonight."

"So what if it's an aggressive beast like a wild boar? Will my old king be afraid?"

"Old Wang, don't be so stubborn, I feel that the mountains tonight are eerie." He Junchao looked around, and whispered in Officer Wang's ear:

"Also, didn't you listen to Ge Bin and the others? In the family that disappeared more than ten years ago, the little girl would often appear in this mountain forest wearing red clothes."

"Huh?" Hearing He Junchao's words, everyone looked at him with incredulous eyes.

He was the one who said that Ge Bin was talking nonsense before, but he is the one who brought up this matter now.

Feeling that He Junchao was scared, Lu Weiwei directly poked Lao Di and said, "He Junchao, don't you believe this too?"

"This...of course I don't believe it." He Junchao immediately snapped back when he heard the words.

At this moment, Gu Chen also walked over from the side, checked the tools in everyone's hands, and reminded:

"I just looked at the scene and found no traces of beasts. I suspect that there is something else wrong with the blood. It may be left over from the fight between the personnel."

"Fighting between people?" Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei, who had previously believed in wild beasts attacking humans, suddenly had other thoughts.

After all, the atmosphere was exaggerated to such an extent by Ge Bin, talking about the wild boars fighting with humans and dogs before, and now Gu Chen said that there are no wild animals attacking humans.

Lu Weiwei didn't know what to do for a while.

But after all, Gu Chen's judgment is very reliable.

Officer Wang also said with doubts on his face: "Gu Chen, tell me the truth, what do you think of the situation at the scene?"

"I suspect that two groups of people met and then clashed, resulting in injuries," Gu Chen said.

"That is to say, the conflict may be between Huba and Zhao Lei, and the conflict between the man and woman? After all, there are only these four people in this mountain." Lu Weiwei also expressed her general understanding based on her previous understanding.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and echoed, "This possibility is not ruled out, but what we need to do now is to follow the bloodstains and find the source as soon as possible."

"After all, it is still snowing heavily, and the traces will soon be covered by heavy snow, which is very unfavorable for our investigation."

"That's right." Yuan Shasha on the side also nodded in agreement, and said involuntarily:

"With this bad weather, any trace is vulnerable to damage, and now we are short of time."

Glancing at the crowd who were gathering together to enjoy the fire, Yuan Shasha also said in a bad mood:

"Looking at the current situation, whether these people can withstand the cold or not, finding someone to help in the snow is a problem."

"No way, we must find Huba and the others as soon as possible." Gu Chen has no time to wait any longer.

So Gu Chen came to the campfire.

At this moment, Ge Bin was also warming himself by the fire, and his previously dispersed companions had also gathered together now.

Everyone also has more or less hands, holding some wooden sticks for self-defense.

Not only that, many people also found dry firewood, ready to add firewood to the campfire.

"Captain Ge, it's time for us to go." Gu Chen needed Ge Bin as a guide, and reminded him again.

Ge Bin responded, and added firewood into the bonfire, clapped his hands, then picked up a stick on the ground and said, "Listen everyone, we are going to find someone now."

"But I took a look and some people couldn't walk anymore, so I decided to leave a group of people here and continue to make a fire here, and the others will follow me."

After a pause, Ge Bin said again: "Anyone who is willing to leave, come with me."

After the voice fell, the scene became extremely quiet. Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't intend to act.

Ge Bin was a little embarrassed for a while, and also looked at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen came to everyone and said, "Who are the ones who are exhausted?"

The fat man raised his hands at the same time as several panting men.

Others also wanted to raise their hands, but Ge Bin gave a "tsk" and immediately withdrew their arms.

Gu Chen mobilized and said: "I still have the account books for everyone. Of course, I am not trying to threaten you, but saving people is the top priority. I hope everyone will not shirk."

Looking up at the sky, the heavy snow at this moment has already dyed Gu Chen's eyebrows white, Gu Chen lowered his head and said:

"Now the snow is getting bigger and bigger. If we don't take action, those traces are likely to be covered by heavy snow."

"At that time, if everyone wants to search again, it may take more time. Therefore, everyone should act to find the missing person."

"Find them earlier, let's go home earlier, everyone agree?"

"it is good!"

Gu Chen's words seem to have a brainwashing effect. After Gu Chen's mobilization just now, everyone immediately felt that the atmosphere was here, and you have to agree if you don't agree.

Seeing this, Ge Bin casually pointed at a few weak chickens and said, "You, you, and you, you four stay here, be careful, don't leave the campfire, and pay attention to the safety of the surroundings."

"There is a situation, remember to blow the whistle, do you understand?"

"Understood." With the exemption from Ge Bin and Gu Chen, the four weak chickens also nodded one after another.

But the large force moved out, leaving four people guarding the top of the mountain.

Although accompanied by a bonfire, everyone did not feel safe.

After Gu Chen and Ge Bin counted the number of people, they confirmed that there were 22 police officers from the Furong Sub-bureau and the locals brought by Ge Bin, except for the four left behind.

So everyone started to search for traces of blood spatter with wooden sticks and flashlights in their hands.

Gu Chen and Ge Bin walked in front side by side.

When it comes to searching for clues, Gu Chen is a good hand, what he lacks is an excellent guide.

Ge Bin, on the other hand, followed Gu Chen, constantly monitoring the surrounding situation.

Followed by 20 people, enough to give everyone courage.

Everyone dared not disperse and could only gather together.

The blood and footprints ahead are still there, and Gu Chen can search all the way according to the traces of the depression.

From time to time, he reminded everyone behind him to follow the footprints of himself and Ge Bin, and not to destroy the original footprints.

However, when Gu Chen and Ge Bin led the crowd to an empty mountainside, the footprints and bloodstains that existed before had disappeared.

Ge Bin turned back and forth, returned to Gu Chen and reminded him, "Officer Gu, the blood and footprints are gone."

"It was erased on purpose." Gu Chen used the wooden stick in his hand to cooperate with the guidance of the flashlight, reminding him, "Look here."

When everyone heard the words, they gathered together one after another.

"What's the situation? It's obvious that someone used a wooden stick to wipe away the footprints." Lu Weiwei also noticed the trickiness of the scene.

Officer Wang put his hands on his chest, thought about it and said, "If this is the case, it will be troublesome. Maybe what we have to face is not some wild beast in the mountains, but human beings."

"That's right." Just as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Yuan Shasha also expressed her opinion:

"This is obviously a trace that has been artificially erased. Some people are afraid of being followed, so they are subconsciously erasing the trace."

"This person erased his own footprints with a branch or some other tool. Moreover, I suspect that the person has been walking backwards, erasing the traces while moving backwards."

"Xiao Yuan, you want to go with me." He Junchao couldn't help saying when he heard this.

Obviously, He Junchao and Yuan Shasha wanted to go together.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and also echoed, "Xiao Yuan's statement is indeed very reasonable, and I suspect that there may be two people who erased the traces."

"Two people?" Ge Bin didn't quite understand what Gu Chen meant.

On the other hand, Lu Weiwei hurriedly explained: "It probably means that the blood is human blood. Maybe this person is being carried by one of them and is about to go somewhere."

"However, if this person is carrying the bloodied personnel and at the same time has to go backwards to erase the traces in the snow, it is obviously unrealistic."

After a pause, Lu Weiwei said again: "So, what we mean is that one person takes the injured person to a certain place in the mountain, while the other person is responsible for breaking the back and covering up his footprints."

"After all, it's not difficult to find from our walk just now that the footprints are quite messy, and it is very likely that they are traces left by two people."

"This...how can I still not understand this?" Although Ge Bin could understand Lu Weiwei's explanation, he couldn't understand what the purpose of doing this was? So also confused.

Gu Chen explained: "We suspect that the traces of fighting on the top of the mountain were not produced by humans and animals, but between humans."

"Between people?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Ge Bin subconsciously thought about it, and after a while, he looked up at Gu Chen and said:

"In this mountain, there are only those two senior donkey friends, and the missing man and woman."

"If it is said that those two senior donkey friends are in the same group, then they will definitely not kill each other."

"As for the man and woman, it might be the man and woman. Maybe it was the man and woman who had a conflict with two donkey friends, and finally caused someone to be injured."

Glancing at the traces that had been wiped off the ground, Ge Bin said with a worried face: "But in this way, the situation seems to have become much more complicated. What are they doing? Why are they fighting? Why are they moving?"

"Could it be that these two senior travel friends met the man and woman on the top of the mountain, and then they clashed?"

"Very likely." Gu Chen said.

Ge Bin slapped his bald head with a slap, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What are these two gangs up to?"

"We just need to know." Officer Wang walked to Gu Chen's side and reminded him:

"Gu Chen, if this group of people wants to move and at the same time erase their traces to avoid being tracked, it's obvious that they can't go far, and they should be nearby."

"But Comrade Police, don't you look at this place?" Ge Bin pointed forward with a sad face, and reminded:

"Look, look at this forest, you can walk everywhere, who knows which direction they will go?"

"Aren't you a guide? Can't you tell?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Ge Bin was embarrassed for two seconds, and then he defended himself: "It's just that we are more familiar with Linzi, and we are not gods, so we can't be prophets."

Turning his head to look around, Ge Bin also complained: "If I can't find the footprints, I may be powerless."

Seeing that Ge Bin also started to get discouraged, but Gu Chen couldn't be discouraged.

The current self is the leader of this team, and Ge Bin is his guide.

If you want to urge Ge Bin to do things, mobilization alone is useless, the key is to have a goal.

But now, the footprints in the snow have been erased.

Coupled with the heavy snow cover, in fact, it is difficult to see the corresponding traces in many places.

Gu Chen looked around and found a raised rock.

So Gu Chen quickly walked towards the rock, climbed up the rock, and began to analyze and judge the opponent's direction based on the surrounding terrain.
