Chapter 2230

The owner of the breakfast shop is also a straightforward person, knowing that Gu Chen's visit this time may be related to the business of Hu Peng next door.

But now, I can't provide much support, I can only shake my head and sigh: "Officer Gu, that's all we can help you with."

"I can't contact Hu Peng anymore. He seems to have had an accident, or he went out to avoid debts."

"But no matter what the situation is, I hope he is well. As for you want to know where he is? I really can't do anything about it."

"It's already very good, thank you." Gu Chen didn't seem to be embarrassing the owner of the breakfast shop, so he wrote his mobile phone number on a piece of note paper, handed it to the middle-aged man and said:

"If you find Hu Peng's trace, remember to notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes." Knowing that Gu Chen wanted something from himself, the middle-aged man readily agreed.

Police officer Wang immediately added: "Don't tell Hu Peng about us, as soon as he shows up, you should notify us immediately."

"I understand that you are working on a case. I know this. Although I don't know what's going on with Hu Peng? But please rest assured that it's okay to leave it to me, no problem."

"Okay, then thank you." Gu Chen stood up and shook hands with the middle-aged couple to say goodbye.

On the other side, police officer Xiaoxuan had already scanned the QR code to pay and followed Gu Chen and the others to leave the restaurant.

After getting in the car, Officer Xiaoxuan asked Gu Chen: "Gu Ju, where are we going now?"

"Go to your police station, I want to know, how far has your technical investigation reached?" Gu Chen said.

"Okay." Understand Gu Chen's urgency now, otherwise Gu Chen would not bring the team to Haidong City again.

Officer Xiaoxuan didn't hesitate, and drove directly to bring everyone to the dispatch room of Haidong Public Security Bureau.

Pushing open the door of the dispatching room, several police officers were playing and playing together, and they seemed to be very comfortable working.

This is just as Gu Chen imagined before. The police investigation here is indeed not as urgent as his own.

Seeing this situation, Officer Xiaoxuan also pointed at one of the probationary policemen who were making trouble, and couldn't help but remind him, "Xiao Gong, what are you doing? Playing and making trouble during working hours."

"Senior sister, this guy hurt me." The trainee policeman named Xiao Gong said.

"Don't tell me these things." Officer Xiaoxuan's face darkened, and she quickly asked again: "By the way, how are you doing with the things you were asked to do?"

"Oh, still following up." Another trainee police said.

"Still following up? Does that mean there is no result?" Officer Xiaoxuan frowned slightly and continued to ask.

The trainee police nodded silently: "Yes, we are working hard to investigate."

"Then have you found the latest progress on Hu Peng's disappearance?" Gu Chen walked directly between the two trainee police officers and asked casually.

The two stared blankly, Qi Qi looked at Gu Chen, and quickly recognized Gu Chen.

Gu Chen had not been to Haidong City for a long time before. At that time, he was personally accompanied by Director Li, and many young policewomen posted on Moments.

Therefore, Gu Chen is considered a celebrity in the Haidong Public Security Bureau.

But how long has it been? Gu Chen appeared in Haidong City again, and personally intervened in this matter.

The two trainee police officers suddenly felt that time was running out.

The trainee policeman named Xiao Gong also grinned, and quickly explained: "Gu Ju, so it's you? We're still following up on this investigation."

"At present, the clues we have are very limited."

"Where did Hu Peng disappear?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked directly.

Xiao Gong glanced at the computer, recalled it briefly for a few seconds, and quickly said, "Uh, it's near a forest on the outskirts of the city."

"The forest near the outskirts of the city? Where is it?" Since police officer Xiaoxuan hasn't asked about the progress of the recent investigation, she is not too sure.

Another trainee police officer replied directly: "It's the forest over there in Hushan Town. This Hu Peng drove to the forest farm by himself. After that, we didn't find any trace of Hu Peng again."

"Other than that, he didn't come out again, right?" Yuan Shasha asked.

Officer Xiao Gong nodded silently: "That's right, after entering the forest, it has never appeared again, at least we haven't found that car coming out again until now."

As soon as Officer Xiao Gong finished speaking, Gu Chen and the others looked at each other.

It seems that this is exactly the same as when Zhou Xiaotong disappeared. He also went to the hinterland of the forest and disappeared.

Since the current Hu Peng is the key figure in the whole case, Gu Chen needs to be cautious.

Considering that Zhou Xiaotong was instigated by someone, he went to the forest behind Xinxin Hotel late at night.

As for Hu Peng's sudden disappearance, Gu Chen felt that if he had something to do with these criminal gangs, then it was very likely that Hu Peng also received an invitation from someone, and then rushed to the appointment.

I don't know what happened in the end? It is not impossible to be told to go to the hinterland of the forest.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "What about the time? When is this Hu Peng going to the hinterland of the forest in Hushan Town?"

"Uh... wait a minute." As if he didn't remember it carefully, Police Officer Xiao Gong hurriedly opened his paper notebook, and then began to search for his own investigation records.

After a while, Officer Xiaogong immediately replied: "I found it. According to our technical investigation, this Hu Peng entered Hushan Town at around 2 o'clock in the morning."

"Then, he stopped briefly at the entrance of the forest hinterland before driving the vehicle into the forest."

"Senior Brother Gu, it's also late at night." Yuan Shasha heard the explanation and hurriedly reminded Gu Chen.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said involuntarily: "It seems that the disappearance of Hu Peng is almost the same as that of Zhou Xiaotong who disappeared in Jiangnan City."

"Could it be..." Hearing what Gu Chen said, Officer Xiaoxuan asked with wide-eyed eyes.

Gu Chen nodded silently, and said truthfully: "The time when Zhou Xiaotong disappeared, or the time when she entered the hinterland of the forest, was also in the middle of the night."

"Since then, there has been no trace of Zhou Xiaotong, but now, Hu Peng, the dealer in Haidong City, also disappeared in the middle of the night in the middle of the forest."

Walking back and forth in front of the crowd, Gu Chen turned around and said, "Imagine, it's very possible that the two of them received invitations from the same group of people."

"Zhou Xiaotong may have a lot of evidence of crimes between these gangs, so they must try their best to get rid of Zhou Xiaotong to avoid future troubles."

"The same is true for Hu Peng, because he is a key figure in the entire chain of clues."

"It can be said that Hu Peng's life is the biggest threat to these people. Therefore, Hu Peng is likely to be invited to enter Hushan Town, the hinterland of the forest."

"And now, he is very likely to have fallen into the trap of these people."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried his best to calm down, and then said: "Now, I can boldly assume that Hu Peng is probably still in the dense forest, and he may have fought with people in the dense forest. "

"After that, he may be imprisoned, or maybe he is no longer alive."

"It won't be so scary, right?" Officer Xiao Gong couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart when he heard Gu Chen's various explanations.

It feels like this group of people, in order to achieve their goals, really do anything.

Officer Xiaoxuan frowned, and also took a step forward, coming to Gu Chen:

"Gu Ju, what should we do next? Give me an idea."

"Go to Hushan Town, go to the hinterland of the forest, and look for Hu Peng's trace." Gu Chen gave a very direct idea.

Officer Xiaoxuan frowned, sighed heavily, and then said: "Okay, I'll accompany you out again."

It feels like it's only early in the morning, and Gu Chen's team, especially Gu Chen, has already tossed themselves hard enough.

Due to the habit of fishing in the Haidong City Police Station for a long time, suddenly, the efficient work brought by Gu Chen made Officer Xiaoxuan unable to adapt for a while.

Obviously last night, everyone was talking on the phone in two different cities.

But in one night, Gu Chen brought his team members from Jiangnan City to Haidong City.

Moreover, he had already obtained important information when he came here, and now he has to go to the Hushan Town where Hu Peng disappeared without stopping.

Officer Xiaoxuan yawned, feeling that it was not an easy task to cooperate with Gu Chen in handling the case.

With a goal, Xiaoxuan simply fired two cars this time, her own car with Gu Chen and others, and the other police car was driven by some auxiliary police.

The main reason is to take advantage of the strength of a large number of people, so that these people may still be useful when the search work is launched.

After 40 minutes of driving, the vehicle finally stopped steadily at the forest fork mentioned by Xiao Gong.

Officer Xiaoxuan lowered the car window and said to the fork in the road: "See? This is right here. Enter from here and you will be in the middle of the forest."

"And Hu Peng disappeared here before, and even the car disappeared together, which is very strange."

Listening to police officer Xiaoxuan's various explanations, Gu Chen also began to look at the strange environment in front of him.

If it is said that Zhou Xiaotong disappeared near a hotel in the suburbs, then compared to the place where Zhou Xiaotong disappeared, Hu Peng's disappearance seems a bit strange.

After all, it was surrounded by wilderness and ridges, and only a one-lane wide concrete road led to the hinterland of the forest.

Thinking of a road, there are advantages to being narrow, at least you can follow the road to find that car.

Gu Chen quickly reminded Officer Xiaoxuan: "Go in."

"Are you sure?" Officer Xiaoxuan stared blankly, but also reminded:

"Gu Chen, I need to remind you that the road here is not easy to walk. There is only a section of the cement road, and the rest are natural dirt roads."

"It's okay." Gu Chen didn't care about these things, and continued to explain:

"Although we can't find Hu Peng now, we can look for his car."

"Even if Hu Peng disappears, vehicles are not allowed to drive on any road in the forest."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said again: "So I think it is very likely that Hu Peng parked his vehicle in an open space, and then walked into the hinterland of the forest on foot."

"Also... it's not impossible." Seeing that Gu Chen has said that, what else can Officer Xiaoxuan say? I can only obey and do as I am told.

So, after Officer Xiaoxuan communicated with the car behind, he drove the police car and started to drive towards the hinterland of the forest in Hushan Town.

Gu Chen is not very familiar with this area, so he asked Officer Xiaoxuan for advice in a tone of asking for advice:

"Officer Xiaoxuan, where is the exact location of Hushan Town?"

"It's in the woods." Officer Xiaoxuan who was driving said.

"In the forest?" Lu Weiwei was quite curious when she heard it, "This forest is full of trees, how could there be a small town in it?"

"Ham, this Hushan Town isn't too big, but it's built on a clearing in the forest."

"Anyway, there are quite a few villages around, but the further you go, the deeper the mountain is, the less populated it is."

"Recently, we in Haidong City have plans to turn Hushan Town into a tourist resort."

"Then, in order to protect the nearby ecological environment, some villages living in deep mountains and old forests are going to be moved out."

After a pause, Police Officer Xiaoxuan continued to explain: "In addition, there is a small temple over there, the incense is like incense, but I heard that asking for a lottery is very effective, I don't know if it is true?"

"Many rich people like to use weekends to go to temples to burn incense and worship Buddha, so there will be more tourists in Hushan Town on weekends."

"I guess, this Hu Peng, with a high probability, should have parked his car somewhere in Hushan Town."

"The other side of Hushan Town, haven't we contacted here?" Yuan Shasha was also quite curious, so she couldn't help asking.

Officer Xiaoxuan shook her head: "Isn't this the result of the investigation just now? I don't know the specific situation over there."

"However, there is a small police station over there. Let's go over and ask. We should be able to find out something?"

While talking, the vehicles of several people have arrived at the eighteenth bend of the mountain road.

To go to Hushan Town, you need to drive through the forest and make various detours.

The bamboo forest in the mountains, due to no one managing it for a long time, many bamboo leaves even extended to the side of the road.

Officer Xiaoxuan needs to constantly adjust her driving rhythm to avoid these natural obstacles.

The beautiful scenery in the forest made Lu Weiwei, who was lying by the window, a great eyesore, and she couldn't help but joked:

"Not to mention, backed by such a large area of ​​natural beauty, if it is not turned into a tourist resort, it will really be a waste of the goodness of nature."

"It's troublesome to turn it into a tourist attraction. When there are more tourists, the ecology will be destroyed." Officer Wang couldn't help but interjected.

Yuan Shasha hastened to add: "There are pros and cons. It would be a pity not to let more people know about this beautiful scenery."

"If it is developed into a tourist attraction, there is nothing wrong with it. It can revitalize the tourism economy in Hushan Town."

"Secondly, it can also increase the local popularity and create a famous name."

"In this way, it will be of great help to attract investment and develop here."

After a pause, Yuan Shasha continued to add: "The Yuan Group in Jiangnan City is particularly experienced in developing cultural and tourism projects."

"And I heard from a relative of mine who works in Yuan's Group that the cultural tourism company of Yuan's Group seems to have a development project here, and even established a project headquarters."
