Recalling everyone's various guesses at the beginning, but in the end only Gu Chen guessed the truth correctly.
Judging from the current situation, the person who attacked Huba on the mountain was probably Chen Li rather than anyone else.
And wearing an auspicious suit, avoiding the pursuit of everyone, and using the snowy night and the small river in the mountain to cover up the traces, only Chen Li, who has rich experience in wild survival, can do it.
Who was Gu Chen's opponent before? Has been in a daze.
But now with the deepening of the investigation, it seems that the image of a woman with rich experience in the jungle gradually appeared in front of Gu Chen.
"Boss Liu, how many times have you crossed Fairy Peak in total?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked him.
Liu Xing hesitated for a few seconds before slowly saying, "We have crossed Fairy Peak twice."
"How many people participated in total?" Gu Chen asked again.
Liu Xing recalled again, and then slowly said: "Counting these two times, it is basically the same group of people, only eight people form a team, three coaches, and five members."
"Three of us serve these five people. Generally speaking, the process is quite difficult, but everyone can persevere, and the fee is also the highest."
"It can be seen that you are making hard money." Hearing what Liu Xing said, Lu Weiwei seemed to understand.
After all, no one would lead a team across Fairy Peak unless they were full of food.
But after all, this is an outdoor adventure club, and the members in it are all rich people who are full and support themselves.
To provide these well-fed rich people with some exciting outdoor activities, and earn them some small money by the way, seems to be the past.
Gu Chen crossed his arms and frowned, looked up at Liu Xing and said, "After you cross Fairy Peak, what will you do next?"
"Oh." Seeing that Gu Chen was not very clear about the specific actions of the Explorers Outdoor Club, Liu Xing quickly put down the water glass and explained to Gu Chen:
"It's like this. Every time before we set off, we will arrange a car in the village near the other end of Fairy Girl Peak."
"This car was arranged in advance, and then we started climbing from the familiar mountain road, which is the position of the steps of Fairy Peak."
"Because the mountain road over there is relatively gentle, we will consume less physical strength and it is easy to climb."
"After we reach the top of the mountain, we will conduct crossing activities from familiar positions based on our previous explorations."
"It's an arduous journey that could take us a whole day, or two."
"But, the signal in the mountains is not good." Lu Weiwei also reminded.
"I know that the mountains here are a bit weird. We also suspected that there is a magnetic field in this mountain. Anyway, we didn't expect the mobile phone map to guide anything."
"We are more concerned with using the marks we made in the mountains and forests, and walking along the marks will not go wrong."
"What?" Hearing Liu Xing's remarks, Police Officer Wang was also taken aback for a moment, and quickly asked Liu Xing:
"You are in the dense forest of Fairy Peak, and you still made a mark?"
"Yes, otherwise, how would we cross Fairy Maiden Peak? Once we take the wrong path, it will take more than just time and energy."
"So we can't make mistakes in every step, and we must follow the previous pathfinding, otherwise you are very likely to enter the snake's den by mistake, and you may encounter wild animals."

Liu Xing felt that Police Officer Wang did not have enough experience in jungle crossing, as if he had never seen the world, so Liu Xing felt that it was necessary to explain clearly.
Police Officer Wang was stunned, and he scratched his head and thought about it, "So, there is indeed a road that can cross Fairy Peak?"
"That's for sure, the road is made by us." Liu Xing said.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shasha hurriedly asked: "Then Mr. Liu, can you mark that road on the map for us?"
"Well……"
"Is there a problem?" Seeing that Liu Xing seemed to be still hesitating, Yuan Shasha asked again.
Liu Xing hesitated for a few seconds, then shook his head in denial: "That's not true. I only know the general route, but I have to go into the woods to make a judgment based on the actual situation."
"Because the plants in the forest are in a continuous growth stage, we also need to constantly adjust according to the actual route."
"Understood." Gu Chen nodded silently, and continued to urge: "It doesn't matter, but the route you drew for us should be more accurate."
"I'll do my best." Liu Xing didn't seem to be able to say anything more.
So at the request of Gu Chen and the others, Liu Xing returned to his desk and took out a stack of documents from the drawer.
Later, Liu Xing took out a printed satellite map paper from this folder.
On the paper, there are many standard routes of writing pens, which look more detailed.
Liu Xing directly handed this map to Gu Chen, explaining: "This is the road map we obtained from several previous road explorations, and there are standard and accurate routes in it."
"Also, what kind of marks will you encounter during the route walking, and what type are these marks?"
"Anyway, we also continued to explore according to this route, and finally achieved the action of crossing the Fairy Peak."
After a pause, Liu Xing actually understood Gu Chen's intentions, so he said again: "If you want to cross Fairy Peak, then you can take this picture."
Gu Chen took the map and looked at it carefully.
And Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha also surrounded Gu Chen at the same time.
Let's all look at the map in front of us.
It can be said that Liu Xing and his group of outdoor explorers are really experienced.
This can be seen from the map guide.
The previous routes went to the top of Xiannv Peak, and everyone has walked back and forth twice, so they are more familiar with this route.
According to this route, and then proceed to the hinterland of the forest, the symbols and text descriptions marked inside become denser.
Gu Chen discovered that during the investigation of one of the routes, Gu Chen found the small river, and said involuntarily:
"This small river, we have also been here, and the route is exactly the same as what you marked on the map."
Gu Chen tapped a location on the paper map on the back of his right hand, and said, "Here is a pile of rocks beside the small river. That's where we discovered the situation and found the missing Zhao Lei."
Fearing that Liu Xing might not understand, Gu Chen looked up at him, and then explained to him, "The person I'm talking about is the lost contact person we met on the mountain that night."
"Oh." Liu Xing nodded mechanically, agreeing.
So Gu Chen ignored him and continued to explain to the team:
"And here, here is where we found the footprints disappeared in the snow, this is the small river."
"That's right, that night, it was the target I lost here." Yuan Shasha also said angrily when she saw this.
Relying on the large number of people that night, everyone found Zhao Lei, who had lost contact.
But at the critical moment, he lost his footprints. After all, the opponent could use the river water as a cover.
Everyone has suffered a lot here.
Even at night, when there were many people, we kept searching along the upstream and downstream banks of the river, but there was no suspicious trace, so we gave up.
So Gu Chen, who couldn't figure it out, immediately looked up at Liu Xing, and asked for advice:
"Boss Liu, if you want to cross Fairy Peak, you must cross this river, right?"
"Yes." Liu Xing glanced at it and nodded in recognition.
Gu Chen asked again: "This river is a bit wide, how did you cross it?"
"It's simple." Seeing that Gu Chen was not very clear, Liu Xing also explained to everyone:
"If people want to cross the river, they must walk into the river, but in order to prevent the pants and shoes from getting wet, we prepared high-top overshoes, which are the kind with relatively high shafts."
"Also, we only need to prepare one pair of these overshoes. One person wears them across the river, and then throws them back from the opposite bank, and then the second person wears high-tube overshoes to continue crossing the river, and the cycle repeats."
"So that's the case?" Hearing this answer, which was also in line with everyone's guess, Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "What did I say? That night, the footprints disappeared by the river."
"Now it seems that this is all preparations. Obviously, the opponent is quite familiar with the terrain here."
After the words were finished, Lu Weiwei continued to look at the map, only to realize that the route had taken a big turn here, directly after crossing the river, and crossing the valley by another path, extending towards another high mountain.
Lu Weiwei glanced at Liu Xing and asked, "After crossing the river here, can we walk through this way?"
"In principle, it is not possible, because the dense forest is too dense, but we have opened up a road. This road is actually a place with few trees, so it is easy to walk." Liu Xing said.
Hearing this, Gu Chen frowned slightly, as if he had an answer in his heart.
Previously along the river, everyone searched to no avail, and no footprints were found.
Now it seems that the other party is very likely to use this road that is almost parallel to the river, walk a certain distance through the river, and then disembark from a hidden place, so as to reach the designated route in the shortest distance, and then continue to cross the fairy peak.
And that night, although everyone searched along the upstream and downstream of the river, they did not cross the river, so it is unlikely to find footprints.
In the past two days, Captain Hu led a search and rescue team and even search and rescue dogs to search the mountains, but they still couldn't get any results.
There is a high probability that it is because the river water blocks the smell and the heavy snow covers it, so the search and rescue dogs will fail under such harsh conditions, no matter how sensitive their noses are.
It's normal to not be able to find it, because the search and rescue team has no systematic route across Xiannv Peak.
Gu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Boss Liu, can you give me this map?"
"Of course." Liu Xing nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "We have several copies here, just take them, Officer Gu."
"I have one more request." Gu Chen continued after putting away the paper map.
Liu Xing was stunned, and asked Gu Chen with some confusion: "Then Officer Gu, if you have any requests, just tell me."
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, "I need you, Boss Liu, to be our guide across Fairy Peak."
"Me?" Hearing Gu Chen's request, Liu Xing stared blankly, and said in surprise:
"I'll be your guide? But it's still snowing on the Fairy Peak. In this environment, it's very difficult to cross the Fairy Peak."
Seeing that Gu Chen and the others didn't reply, but looked straight at him, Liu Xing said again:
"Officer Gu, what I said is true, this kind of weather is really not suitable for crossing the Fairy Peak."
"Of course we know. Isn't this a special situation? Those search and rescue teams are like headless chickens on the Fairy Peak Mountain. They have made no progress in searching for the missing people. They suffer from the lack of familiarity with the terrain."
"As for the local forest rangers, although they are locals, the locals rarely have the experience of crossing the Fairy Peak. Therefore, after much deliberation, you, Boss Liu, are the most suitable."
"But……"
What else would Liu Xing want to say? But Gu Chen interrupted again: "Boss Liu, this involves the life and death of these missing people, so please agree."
"And we suspect that this matter has a lot to do with Chen Li. We can only find out the truth if we find Chen Li."
After a pause, seeing Liu Xing's frowning expression, Gu Chen continued to plead, "Boss Liu..."
"Okay." Before Gu Chen finished speaking this time, Liu Xing seemed to have figured it out, so he could only nod silently, and said in agreement, "That's fine, I'll go to Fairy Peak with you."
"It's great." Hearing Liu Xing's words, Lu Weiwei was also delighted.
It can be said that with Liu Xing, an experienced outdoor adventure guide, everyone's work efficiency will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
And Liu Xing also put forward his request at this moment, and said involuntarily: "Crossing Fairy Peak, you can't be empty-handed, you have to prepare some necessary outdoor equipment."
"Can the search and rescue team do that?" Police Officer Wang asked. After all, Captain Hu's search and rescue team has all kinds of equipment.
But Liu Xing denied it flatly: "Those are search and rescue equipment, I'm not sure, is it suitable for me?"
"But I know that there are all kinds of equipment in our club, and I can provide some. If you carry these equipments, you may get twice the result with half the effort."
"That's great, I'll have to work with Boss Liu." Seeing Liu Xing's willingness to agree, Yuan Shasha was also overjoyed.
Therefore, Yuan Shasha and Lu Weiwei began to follow Liu Xing to the club's warehouse to choose equipment for everyone to cross Fairy Peak.
While Gu Chen and Officer Wang came outside, Officer Wang began to call Captain Hu's search and rescue team to let them go back the same way and rest the team.
On the other hand, Gu Chen contacted the subordinate police force and began to go to the other village of Fairy Peak to find out the situation and check if there were any suspicious vehicles that had come near the village.
According to Liu Xing, even if the weather is good and everyone is very familiar with the route, it will take a day or two, maybe more, to cross Fairy Peak.
It can be thought of that in the past two days, there has been a sudden heavy snowfall on the Fairy Peak, and it seems that it has become less easy to cross the Fairy Peak.
At least Gu Chen now knows that, if nothing else happens, that mysterious person is still crossing the Fairy Peak.
