Chapter 2209

Several people stayed in the dilapidated hut, carefully studying the various totems on the wall, and finally everyone reached a consensus.

Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone, took pictures of all this, and said involuntarily, "It seems that Zhou Xiaotong was invited here for another purpose."

"And this purpose is quite mysterious, so that Zhou Xiaotong used Jiangnan City to find a job to prevaricate."

"However, from the very beginning, this Zhou Xiaotong has already planned everything, or in other words, the person who sent him the invitation letter has already determined a specific route for her."

"And next, Zhou Xiaotong needs to follow the inviter's guidance to find this dense forest hut without being discovered."

"Otherwise Zhou Xiaotong wouldn't have come to this deep forest at night."

"That's right." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also answered:

"Especially the totem on the wall, which looks ordinary on the surface, but if combined with the specific location of the address here, you can quickly find it."

"It's clearly a map and a code word for guidance. I think the inviter didn't tell Zhou Xiaotong the exact location, but instead asked Zhou Xiaotong to find the next location by himself according to the totem guidance on the wall."

"Such a secretive action shows that the other party does not fully trust Zhou Xiaotong, but is always on guard."

"Could it be the mineral water bottle that Gu Chentong once drank?" Zhou Xiao frowned, making a bad judgment of the specific situation.

"I found it on that little tree." Zhou Xiao sighed, telling the truth.

Zhou Xiaogao glanced at the time, and hurriedly reminded: "Time waits for someone, you have to set off immediately."

Zhou Xiao walked in front of the eight of them, looking back at each step.

That's not conducive to Zhou Xiaoshi, I went back the same way but got lost.

"Old Wang, what he said, what exactly is that person looking for Gu Chentong, what exactly is he trying to do?" Junior Brother Gu was very distressed by this, mainly because the other party's behavior was too weird.

So Niu Ke subconsciously, first observed the surrounding situation, and then put on his white gloves before confirming whether there were any people, picked up the empty mineral water bottle in the ground, and held it in his hand to observe.

... "Maybe." Zhou Xiao is also a bad judgment now, so he can only say casually:

Police officer Wang looked around with a low-light flashlight, and said for a reason: "Zhou Xiao, it looks like the terrain outside is very high. It should be that we haven't reached the direction pointed by the marker, and it's not this valley."

In the mountains and forests, the sudden appearance of fog also caught the eight people by surprise.

"Niu Ke, in the mountains and forests, I got foggy when the image was broken."

Seeing this, the relatively inexperienced police officer Wang hurriedly reminded Zhou Xiao: "Zhou Xiao, I can find him again."

Police Officer Wang gave a "tsk", and then said: "You mean that, you mean, are there any other clues now, you may be looking in the wrong direction."

But when Zhou Xiao stood there, rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look, the figure in the mist seemed to disappear again.

"Did the markings be broken along the way? What is he afraid of, Old Wang?" Junior Brother Gu laughed when he saw that Police Officer Wang had finished cheering up.

"However, you still have to continue looking for Gu Chentong's trace." Although Zhou Xiao was also very nervous, I searched and retreated in the dense forest at that time. Once I lost the direction of the way back, I might get lost in the jungle.

But the more weird the situation, the more curious Niu Kejian was.

Using the power of his thoughts, Zhou Xiao lowered the entire topographical map to a lower view of God.

"You feel that Gu Chentong should be in the distance. I'm sure that mineral water bottle doesn't belong to Niu Ketong. So, it means that you have been there before."

swish swish.

Looking at the inside of the empty mineral water bottle, it was already full of water droplets at this moment, and concluded that the empty mineral water bottle should have been discarded there a few days later.

Police officer Wang took out the police water bottle, drank a few gulps, and then looked in Niu Ke's direction again.

Zhou Xiao followed the direction where the weeds fell, and continued to walk to the back. Soon, he found that there was no reflective object on a small tree near the weeds pile under the weak light of the flashlight. .

"Let's take a rest now and see if there is nothing else around me." Zhou Xiaohan worried about the Lake King police officer.

"Did that Gu Chentong go to the direction of the valley according to the guidance of the map?"

Zhou Xiao froze on the spot, his surrounding eyes became blurred.

"But for the specific situation, after you bring that empty mineral water bottle back to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau and ask Gao Chuanfeng to help you test it, you should be able to get to the bottom of it."

Zhou Xiao opened up the little teacher's imagination, making the entire topographic map come alive.

"Yes, Lu Weiwei, hurry up and withdraw." Junior Brother Gu also felt that the situation was right, and reminded him anxiously.

Knowing how far he had walked to the rear, Zhou Xiao pulled a branch on the side of the road again, and tied the branch under a tree trunk as a sign of his coming.

...

It must be too late to leave if you really haven't found it.

...

As an old comrade, Police Officer Wang also refused to take such a risk to approach the depths of the dense forest.

Before that, Zhou Xiao took out another transparent evidence collection bag, put the mineral water bottle back, and wrote the numbered data in a corner of the transparent evidence collection bag.

Because Xiaojia guessed that Gu Chentong had seen the totem painting under the wall, and understood the other party's intentions.

Zhou Xiao picked up the low-light flashlight and hurried towards that area again.

So Zhou Xiao and the others took low-light flashlights and continued to search and retreat in the mountains.

The fog was much smaller than Xiaojia imagined. After a while, Zhou Xiao and eight people disappeared into the white mist.

"It's so bad, did you even notice that Lu Weiwei looked slowly, when the surroundings were illuminated by the flashlight just now, they could still see quite a distance."

Every time Zhou Xiao took a step, there was a "rustling" sound around him.

So now the surrounding area has become a dead lake, and it may take less time to find the way home again.

"Lu Weiwei." Just as Niu Ke lost his mind, Junior Brother Gu pulled Zhou Xiao back to the state of the lake again:

"Could it be that Niu Ketong discarded it?" Officer Wang came to Junior Brother Gu, took the transparent evidence collection bag from Junior Brother Gu, and said casually.

But Police Officer Wang shook his head and sighed: "If you know it, you'll be broken, and you're still messing around like that."

"Could it be me?" Zhou Xiao snapped his fingers, and slowly returned to reality from the simulated space in the teacher's imagination.

"So, you have to stop the search immediately and go back the way you came, otherwise the Xiao family will be trapped there." Officer Wang said.

"A little later, you may all be surrounded by fog, and if you want to go out by then, it may be harder than climbing to the sky."

"Oh my god." Niu Kejian, who discovered the problem, also exclaimed:

"And Niu Ketong disappeared in that area a few days later, so if they are connected together, it may not be Gu Chentong's item."

"The forest outside is getting denser and denser, and you can still see the moonlight in the future, but when he looks outside, it's all white, and he can see nothing."

Niu Ke nodded silently: "In hindsight, there is no such possibility."

"You think, somewhere in the valley, there should be another trace of me, guiding Gu Chentong to the designated place."

】

"You said that Zhou Xiaotong had never been to Jiangnan City before, but once he arrived in Jiangnan City, he dared to come to that kind of hidden forest alone."

"Zhou Xiao." Police Officer Wang moved forward and leaned towards Zhou Xiao, and said without any relief:

Zhou Xiao turned around and handed the empty mineral water bottle to Junior Brother Gu: "Take it."

At this time, Zhou Xiao was still standing among the weeds, looking at Qi Zhou hesitantly.

"Bad." Zhou Xiao took a deep breath, wiped Mihu's eyes with his right hand, and then continued to follow Junior Brother Gu, backing slowly in the direction he came from.

"Gu Chen." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang said with a serious expression, "I have a bad feeling."

At this moment, Zhou Xiaona realized that the location behind Xiaojia's head was the bottom of the valley.

"Then if you get lost in the jungle, it's a bad idea. It may be more troublesome to find the way back."

Niu Ke picked up the low-light flashlight, willingly illuminated the dense forest behind twice, and said:

"Hey boy!" Seeing that Niu Ke was still determined, Police Officer Wang also reminded him: "Niu Ke, it's because Gu Chentong has been there before, I listen to your persuasion, and leave quickly."

I walked for an hour straight, shuttling through the depths of the woods, and it was not easy to find the trace.

There are relatively few trees outside, but weeds are still overgrown.

If you go further back, you have to go down the hill.

Very slowly, Zhou Xiao closed his eyes, and the road he walked just now turned into a 3D map, which slowly emerged from his mind in three dimensions.

"Lu Weiwei, is there such a possibility? Was it left by the mysterious person who sent the invitation letter to Gu Chentong?"

In the dark forest, Zhou Xiao seemed to see a figure of a man appearing in the mist.

"The most important thing now is to leave that place as soon as possible. Before dawn, you can't find it again. You must withdraw now."

"That's the only way to go first." Officer Wang took a deep breath, looked right and left, and said as a reminder:

But Niu Ke also knows that he must be looking for Gu Chentong's traces according to the guidance of the totem, so that he may find Gu Chentong forever.

Zhou Xiaogu had too little, so he continued to walk back, only to find that there was an empty mineral water bottle on the bottom of the small tree?

"Anyway, there are no other clues in that room, and it's still smelly. It's really a pain to stay outside."

"Definitely go hard. It may take a small amount of time. When you really leave the dense forest, you think, it may take a long time, maybe until tomorrow afternoon."

"Lu Weiwei." Junior Brother Gu came to Zhou Xiao.

And one is a big heart, it is very unlikely to get lost in the fog.

"What's wrong with him? Go slowly."

"If you want to tell me, don't think about so few problems now, find someone first and then talk about it."

And in my mind, I instantly formed a rough prototype of the surrounding geographical orientation.

"The worst thing for you now is to follow the directions and go to the next location to see if you can find some new discoveries."

"Why do you feel so mysterious? It's scary." Junior Brother Gu has also seen that kind of way of making an appointment and then going on an appointment.

"Judging from the situation of the mineral water bottle, it should have been discarded there a few days later, but you didn't find any other items around."

It is certain that the cattle can use the stems and vines of the plants in the future, which were broken under the road when they came, and used the plant stems and vines to make marks.

But when Zhou Xiao came to the center of the open space, he suddenly found that the weeds outside seemed to have been trampled on.

I also saw Zhou Xiao on the ground of the small tree, and seemed to have discovered something? Niu Kejian stood up directly, and hurriedly followed the path Niu Ke walked just now.

Zhou Xiao looked at Qi Zhou again, and there was a relatively narrow open space nearby.

"What's that? Where did it come from?" Looking at the empty mineral water bottle, Junior Brother Gu also frowned slightly, and asked vigilantly.

"Shushasha..."

Turning his head to look in front of him, Junior Brother Gu and Police Officer Wang were drinking water and communicating with each other.

"It can be seen that Gu Chentong is quite timid. Moreover, the other party seems to be investigating Gu Chentong, and hasn't leaked too many clues."

"The woods outside there feel dense and windy, and besides your few low-light flashlights, I haven't seen any light sources around, so I feel quite safe."

And Gu Chentong left the hotel late at night, so if he came out of the big house, he should also be outside at night.

"But if your understanding of the totem under the wall is accurate, it would be a wrong road for you to go."

"Let's go." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Junior Brother Gu also grabbed Zhou Xiao, and finally dragged Zhou Xiao to the next direction.

"So..." Zhou Xiao glanced at Officer Wang.

So on Zhou Xiao's suggestion, Police Officer Wang and Niu Kejian came directly to a small tree, and they also squatted up against the small tree.

"That girl, how could she go so far?" Junior Brother Gu asked Zhou Xiao without any hesitation:

Thinking that since Xiaojia hasn't come there yet, why check it carefully?

Just do what you said, and the few people only stayed in the house for a short time, and then immediately stopped and retreated towards the previous location.

So I put the mineral water bottle back in place, took out my phone and took a picture.

Zhou Xiao is now from the perspective of the emperor, and his temporary foothold from the big house in the dense forest to the outside is connected by a winding red line.

"Or, this valley is not the place where the mysterious inviter invited Gu Chentong to the appointment later."

"I don't want Niu Ketong to find the destination by himself, but you can guarantee that the person who sent the invitation letter will definitely meet Gu Chentong at a certain place."

"That's right." Niu Kejian, who had just realized that he was normal, hurriedly approached Zhou Xiao and said:

The movement of the body rubbing against the weeds was constantly ringing around.

Officer Wang also followed closely after seeing this.

The eight people finally reached a tacit agreement, and slowly evacuated in the direction they came later.

In addition, searching the mountains at night is also a test of physical strength.

"Okay." Police officer Wang took the weak-light flashlight in his hand and irradiated the surroundings a few times before he said:

"But now, there seems to be less and less fog around, and it is gathering there."
