Chapter 2258

As for He Xu, Officer Wang has been tortured by him long ago, especially in the dense forest.

He clearly knew that the other party was He Xu, but at that time he was forced to have no evidence, so he allowed He Xu to make all kinds of sophistry.

But now, Zhang Da has confessed, and the initiative will soon return to him.

Facing He Xu's posturing, Police Officer Wang was not afraid of him at all, and said bluntly: "He Xu, don't pretend to be with me, your little bastards are useless here."

"I'll also tell you, He Xu, that we have all the criminal evidence of your gang, especially Zhang Da, who has explained the entire process of how your gang operates."

"They are trying to give themselves leniency, but you are still here to die."

"As everyone knows, your dead duck's mouth is hard, and it won't bring you much benefit. On the contrary, it can only aggravate your sins."

He Xu dodged his eyes when he heard Police Officer Wang's remarks, but he still didn't speak.

And Lu Weiwei on the side also said angrily: "He Xu, you are a smart person, you know that your team is not monolithic."

"Especially your master Zhuang Qiang. He and Zhang Da used to have a feud, although you seem to have put on a good show for our police for the common benefit."

"So that we can mistakenly think that the relationship between you is a sworn enemy, but it is a pity that the criminal gang in Haidong City has now been destroyed by us."

"And the main members over there also confessed the situation on your side, and, just now, Zhang Da also explained all the facts."

After a pause, seeing that He Xu's expression was obviously fluctuating at the moment, Lu Weiwei continued: "He told us that he is in charge of the unloading link of the cargo transportation in Haidong City to ensure the safety of unloading."

"And you and Zhuang Qiang are responsible for the follow-up sales work. You have a clear division of labor and have your own links."

"However, all your current channels have been destroyed, and they have already explained the whole process. Do you think it makes sense for us to say it or not?"

Before He Xu could speak, Lu Weiwei continued to ask and answer: "It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make any sense at all. What we want is your attitude."

"That's right, it's the attitude of asking you to plead guilty." As soon as Lu Weiwei's voice fell, Yuan Shasha on the side also echoed.

At this moment, He Xu also seemed to feel that he was completely meaningless.

But He Xu is also a smart person. Knowing that the police are still interrogating him, he must want to know more clues.

Especially about Zhou Xiaotong's whereabouts.

At this moment, He Xu was very entangled in his heart, as if he felt that he was not good at recruiting, and he was not good at not recruiting.

At this time, Gu Chen continued to remind: "He Xu, be sensible, tell me about Zhou Xiaotong's situation, maybe this is your last chance to plead guilty, you should think about it carefully."

After the words fell, He Xu frowned, and seemed to be feeling a lot of pressure.

After a few seconds of delay, he slowly raised his head and confessed: "That's right, Zhou Xiaotong, I brought it into the dense forest."

"Why?" Gu Chen turned the pen with his right hand and continued to ask.

"Because we got a greeting from Haidong City, saying that this Zhou Xiaotong once helped the upline in Haidong City and made accounts for them."

"Therefore, Zhou Xiaotong is very familiar with the accounting situation of this organization."

"Because her father owed them debts before, she was willing to work for them, but later, I heard that she found her boyfriend and maxed out her boyfriend's credit card, so she paid back the money."

"Since then, this Zhou Xiaotong has made up his mind to leave this organization."

Speaking of this, He Xu raised his head slightly, and said angrily: "But, you also know that in her situation, how could the organization let her go?"

"She has mastered so many secrets, so she just left. Before that, her father's debt could restrain her, but later, she couldn't restrain her at all."

"The organization is also afraid that she will tell you the police about these accounts. In the final analysis, it means that she doesn't trust her."

"That's why we sent an invitation letter to Zhou Xiaotong, inviting her to work in Jiangnan City."

"Then how do you conclude that she will definitely come?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"This is very simple." He Xu sat up a little bit, and then said:

"Our organization in Haidong City has actually been paying attention to Zhou Xiaotong's situation."

"The other side learned about Zhou Xiaotong's credit card issue and let her boyfriend's mother know about the situation."

"But her boyfriend's mother is a businessman after all, and she likes to care about everything."

"Maybe it feels like my son has such a girlfriend, and he will definitely be squandered by this girlfriend in the future."

"Besides, Zhou Xiaotong is a single-parent family, and her boyfriend's mother is especially taboo about these things, so I put forward conditions with her later."

"If she breaks up with her boyfriend and leaves Haidong City, then her boyfriend's mother will not pursue this matter."

"But if Zhou Xiaotong doesn't break up, then her boyfriend's mother will have to recover the money no matter what, and they may even call the police."

Taking a deep breath, He Xu tried his best to calm down, and then said:

"Of course, this is also what our personnel have obtained through investigation."

"I also know that Zhou Xiaotong can't stay in Haidong City for the time being, and this just gives us an opportunity to deal with Zhou Xiaotong."

"The meaning of the above is to send out an invitation to let Zhou Xiaotong go to work in Jiangnan City, and then wait for an opportunity to get rid of her here to avoid future troubles."

"How is Zhou Xiaotong now? Has she been killed by you?" Yuan Shasha was also furious when she heard this.

But He Xu shook his head.

Yuan Shasha was taken aback, and quickly asked again: "What do you mean by shaking your head? Could it be that Zhou Xiaotong is still alive?"

"No... that's right." He Xu also nodded silently after hearing Yuan Shasha's words, and said involuntarily:

"Before, the meaning given above was indeed to kill Zhou Xiaotong and make her shut up forever."

"However, Zhou Xiaotong stayed with Zhang Da first that day, and Zhang Da did ideological work for Zhou Xiaotong, telling her that she can work in Jiangnan City with peace of mind for the time being."

"But now, she needs to meet someone, the boss on our side."

After a pause, He Xu quickly explained: "Of course, this boss doesn't exist, it's just a fake situation we gave him."

"Then, Zhang Da told Zhou Xiaotong that someone would pick her up in a certain area at night, and that person was me."

Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly stopped recording, looked up at He Xu and said:

"So, after Zhou Xiaotong came out of the hotel, he found you at the other end of the dense forest, and went to the dense forest with you, right?"

"Yes." He Xu did not deny it, but admitted generously:

"Because Zhou Xiaotong has been doing financial work in that gang in Haidong City for a long time, he is actually not too wary of this gang."

"Especially the main members of this gang, they thought she was pitiful at the beginning, so they let her do financial work in this gang to offset father's debt."

Taking a deep breath, He Xu said helplessly, "At that time, I was also very curious about Zhou Xiaotong. She didn't seem to be too wary of our organization."

"It may be because she has been in this organization for too long, so, naturally, she also considers herself a part of this organization."

"But she ignored it, when she has no value in this organization."

"Then, if she leaves the organization, it will bring a huge disaster to the organization. This is something that the top management of the organization cannot tolerate."

"So, you are going to kill her?" Lu Weiwei said.

He Xu nodded silently: "There is no way to do this. If we don't do this, then the whole organization will be threatened."

"Especially Zhou Xiaotong who has just graduated from university. She has no idea that she is alone and involves too many people."

"One mistake by her may ruin our entire organization, so when she is worthless, she must shut up forever."

"Only in this way can we ensure that our entire organization will not be targeted by your police, and we can safely and securely start these businesses between Haidong City and Jiangnan City."

"Besides, these businesses were run by the high-level organizations in Haidong City after a lot of effort. They didn't want to take this risk."

"So, did you do anything to Zhou Xiaotong?" Police Officer Wang was anxious when he heard this.

But He Xu continued to shake his head: "I was going to do it, but then... I didn't do it later."

"How to say?" Hearing this, Gu Chen felt incredible.

Because according to normal logic, if He Xu's group wanted to avoid trouble in Jiangnan City, then it was obviously in their interest to kill Zhou Xiaotong.

However, He Xu, who did it, did not do this, which made everyone feel puzzled.

He Xu didn't hide anything, and explained to everyone straightforwardly: "Actually, Zhou Xiaotong followed me into the dense forest that day, and I followed the instructions above and planned to take her to the deep mountains and old forests before doing anything."

"So, the empty bottle you saw in the dense forest is actually where I plan to do it."

"From this point of view, you are indeed very smart, but I want to know, how did you find that place?"

"It's a hut in the jungle." Gu Chen said.

"Dense forest hut?" He Xu stared blankly when he heard Gu Chen's speech. After thinking for a moment, he quickly realized, and then said:

"So that's it. You should have discovered the hints from the symbols on the wall of the jungle hut, right?"

"Yes, we guessed that this should be a topographic map based on the totems on the walls of the jungle hut."

"So, following the guidance of the terrain, I came all the way to the place where you started, and successfully found the empty bottle." Lu Weiwei said.

Seeing He Xu's confused face, Gu Chen continued, "So, you've been following us, didn't you guess this?"

"There are." He Xu nodded silently, and also took the initiative to admit: "I found out that you have entered the dense forest hut, but I underestimated your strength."

"I didn't expect that you found that place through the totems carved on the wall."

"That's why you sabotage all the way, trying to trap us in that dense forest?" Yuan Shasha said.

He Xu continued to nod: "That's right, that's what I thought, but the weather at that time was unpredictable, and I almost lost myself in the fog."

"Especially when I found out that you seem to have noticed me, to be honest, I was a little panicked at the time, afraid that you would fall out of my grasp."

"That's why I followed all the way, but later, I felt that the situation was wrong, and I felt that you might be nearby."

"At that time, the fog was thick, and I could clearly feel that you seemed to be anti-tracking, but due to the obstructed line of sight, I couldn't judge the specific position."

"That's why I retreated completely and voluntarily gave up destroying your retreat route."

"That's right." As soon as He Xu finished speaking, Gu Chen answered directly:

"At that time, your location was only a few meters away from me. However, due to the fog, it also made us not very clear about your specific situation."

"So, at that time, we were also holding back and waiting for the opportunity."

"But that's it, let you escape. If we took the initiative to capture you at that time, maybe there won't be so many things later."

"It turns out that you were the one who was anti-stalking that day?" When He Xu heard Gu Chen's explanation, He Xu couldn't help being startled, but soon calmed down again, and said slowly:

"You are indeed a master. For me, the jungle is my world. It is your ability to force me to retreat completely."

"Let's not talk about this first." Gu Chen interrupted He Xu's speech, and continued:

"Let's talk about Zhou Xiaotong's situation. That night, you took Zhou Xiaotong to the place where the mineral water bottles were discarded. What did you do afterwards?"

The voice fell, and the scene became quiet again.

He Xu sighed faintly, and said helplessly, "At that time, Zhou Xiaotong had clearly felt that we were going to harm her."

"Because at the beginning, she followed me and kept asking me, how long will it take to reach the destination? How long will it take to see the boss here?"

"But I always tell her, it's almost there, right ahead."

"But as time went by, she gradually began to have doubts, and even clearly felt that I might want to kill her in the dense forest."

"So, Zhou Xiaotong started to stagnate. She told me that it was too late and she wanted to see the boss tomorrow."

"But I told him that our organization itself is not visible, and not everyone can see the boss here."

"Since you choose to work in Jiangnan City, you must ask our boss to nod."

"In this way, I tried to make Zhou Xiaotong continue to follow me in, thinking, take her to a more remote place, and then kill her, it will be over once and for all."

After a short pause for a few seconds, He Xu rubbed his hands on his face, trying to keep himself awake, and then said:

"But at this moment, Zhou Xiaotong immediately started to retreat, and she tried to escape."

"But I can't let her succeed, because there is no obvious mountain road in the dense forest."

"Plus, it's getting late, and the surrounding plants are growing similarly."

"So, no matter how Zhou Xiaotong escaped, she would always stumble and come to the previous position. At that time, I didn't pretend anymore. I just took out the dagger and wanted to give her a good time."

Hearing this, Lu Weiwei's eyes trembled slightly.

One can imagine how desperate Zhou Xiaotong was at that time.

If you leave your hometown and come to work in a different place for the first time, you will face the threat of death.

So Lu Weiwei took a deep breath, choked up and said, "So, she begged you?"

"That's right, she begged me, and she begged me on her knees." He Xu sighed softly, and said helplessly:

"At that time, Zhou Xiaotong was actually very smart. She knew that there was no way she could escape in this dense forest."

"And she is here, and she will inevitably die in the end. Instead of making unnecessary resistance, it is better to beg me."

"In this way, under my sharp knife, she knelt down in front of me and begged me, crying heartbreakingly, even willing to use her body for a chance to live."

"So you?" Officer Wang asked.

He Xu nodded silently: "I admit that at that moment, facing such a beautiful woman, I didn't have the heart to kill her."

"I promised her and gave her a way to survive, but she must stay in the dense forest and cannot go out."

"Because during this time, if she appears in Jiangnan City, it will be fatal to our entire organization."

"Although I am greedy and lustful, I am not stupid, and I will not let her go to the police."

With a heavy sigh, He Xu said again: "So that night, Zhou Xiaotong exchanged his body for a life."

"I also told her clearly that she is dead now. If she is still alive and appears on the boundary of Jiangnan City, even the gods will not be able to save her."

"At that time, she will not only be the one who will die, but even her father will inevitably die."

"Because of the organization in Haidong City, their viciousness is unimaginable."

"Then what happened next?" Hearing this, Gu Chen continued to ask.

He Xu lay on the seat, rubbed his sore arm, and continued: "Later? Then Zhou Xiaotong reached a deal with me, and I will find a secret place for her to hide for a while."

"Pretend that you have been killed by me, and there will be no more Zhou Xiaotong in this world."

"And she must stay in that place, otherwise her father will also be retaliated by the organization in Haidong City."

"I explained all these powerful relationships to Zhou Xiaotong clearly, and she also understands very well that she has no choice now."

"You are such a beast." When He Xu forced Zhou Xiaotong to exchange his life for his life, Lu Weiwei felt sick.

But He Xu didn't take it seriously and said: "She asked for it on her own initiative, and I just fulfilled her wish."

"To tell you the truth, it's really hard for me to refuse such a woman who offered to ask me."

"However, I also promised her to let her live well. At least until now, not only your police have not found her, but even the organization has not found her."

"This at least shows that it is an indisputable fact that being alive is better than anything else."

"Okay, let's not talk about this." After Gu Chen recorded all this, he continued to ask:

"Where is Zhou Xiaotong imprisoned now? Or that dense forest?"

"Yes." He Xu nodded silently.

Police Officer Wang was a little puzzled and said, "No way? You locked Zhou Xiaotong in that dense forest? But, these days, we have also dispatched a lot of police resources to find it."

"We've searched many times just for the place where the empty mineral water bottles were discarded, but we haven't found any trace of Zhou Xiaotong, but you said that Zhou Xiaotong is there. What's going on?"

"It's a secret way." Seeing that Police Officer Wang didn't understand the situation, He Xu directly explained the reason:

"In that area, there are secret passages leading to secret places."

"And these places are only known to me, and no one else can find them at all."

"That's why, you people, it's useless to send more."

"Then tell me, what are these secret ways?" Seeing that He Xu seemed to have a plan in mind, Gu Chen also asked one more question.

And He Xu also said slowly: "Actually, I am an outdoor veteran, I believe you all know this."

"But what you don't know is that since I joined this organization, especially after I came into contact with these people, I have always felt deeply disturbed."

"Because I know the viciousness of this organization is difficult for me to control."

"And I know that when necessary, I must leave a way out for myself."

"If one day, like Zhou Xiaotong, I have lost the value of existence."

"Then, I think, they will definitely get rid of me without hesitation, just like asking me to get rid of Zhou Xiaotong."

"Today's Zhou Xiaotong's end will be my end tomorrow."

With a faint sigh, He Xu tried hard to calm himself down, and then said again:

"So, outsiders feel that I am a person who likes the outdoors, especially outdoor camping."

"However, what everyone doesn't know is that I actually brought tools to open up some secret areas for myself in this dense forest."

"And these places need some passages to enter."

"And I went into the deep forest again and again, just to perfect my hiding place."

"It's just that I didn't expect to live in it myself, but let Zhou Xiaotong go in first."

Shaking his head, He Xu seemed to feel a sigh of relief.

Gu Chen frowned, and continued to ask him: "So, these days, Zhou Xiaotong has been locked in a certain area in the dense forest, but I'm curious, have you prepared enough food and water? Can you guarantee that Zhou Xiaotong will stay here?" How many days?"

"It's simple." Seeing that Gu Chen raised his doubts, He Xu also explained in a leisurely manner:

"You said food and water, yes, this is very important, without these things, then people can't live."

"But you don't have to worry. In order to open up some areas, I will move some supplies from time to time, basically compressed biscuits and mineral water."

After thinking for a while, He Xu said again: "In general, with the supplies over there, it's no problem to last a week."

"If you save some food, 10 days is also possible."

"So you're going to resupply when you run out of food and water?" Yuan Shasha asked.

But at this moment, He Xu shook his head: "No, if you say that you gave up killing Zhou Xiaotong before, it was because you were greedy for her beauty, but what happens afterward is beyond her control."

"Because I know that if Zhou Xiaotong doesn't die, then I will die."

"The organization will cut me into pieces. I firmly believe in this. If I can't manage these things well and something goes wrong, I will be unable to eat and walk around."

Having said this, the entire interrogation room suddenly became surprisingly quiet.

In fact, everyone can understand He Xu's words, that is, Zhou Xiaotong exchanged his body for a chance to survive.

He Xu took her to the secret area originally prepared for him, thinking that Zhou Xiaotong would use these materials and water supplies to last for a week or 10 days.

But He Xu's viciousness is the viciousness. He just continued Zhou Xiaotong's life, but he didn't mean to let her go.

Thinking of this, Officer Wang was also furious and said: "He Xu, so you just gave Zhou Xiaotong a week or 10 days of life?"

"That's right." What did He Xu not want to hide? Instead, it is straightforward:

"Actually, I just gave her a chance to live a few more days, and I won't send her supplies."

"Because, you will be noticed by the police and the organization."

"So, for Zhou Xiaotong's sake, I won't take this risk."

"Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, if there is no food and water, then Zhou Xiaotong can only die there."

Thinking that it has not been 10 days since Zhou Xiaotong disappeared.

Gu Chen's hanging heart seemed to come back again.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked: "So, Zhou Xiaotong can move around freely in your secret base?"

"No." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, He Xu took the initiative to explain: "I locked her on an iron chain, she can't go anywhere, she can only stay there."

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen directly showed a printed color satellite topographic map in front of He Xu, then handed over a pen, and said, "Can you draw Zhou Xiaotong's exact location now?"

"Of course." He took the pen from Gu Chen and looked at the satellite map in front of him.

He Xu only thought briefly, and quickly found out the exact location of his secret base.

So, He Xu circled the location with a pen.

Gu Chen glanced at it, double-checked and said, "Are you sure it's here?"

"I'm sure, I'm too familiar with that place. Where is this place? If you're not an experienced traveling friend, you might not be able to find it at all."

"Then you take us there." Gu Chen said straightforwardly without talking nonsense.

Thinking of the current backbone members of the organization, all have been captured.

No matter how hard I carry it, it doesn't make any sense. It's better to do a smooth thing so that I can take the blame and make meritorious service.

So He Xu agreed decisively: "No problem, I can take you there now."

...

...

The light of the assault vehicle flashed, and Gu Chen drove the assault vehicle, leading everyone and He Xu to the entrance of the dense forest.

Gu Chen is already very familiar with the scene here. After getting off the car, he also glanced at the compartment.

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei pulled He Xu out of the car directly.

And Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong also got off from another assault vehicle with a few of their auxiliary police apprentices.

Everyone is going to go to the area where Zhou Xiaotong is being held.

He hesitated to pass the area where the mineral water bottle was found before, so Gu Chen knew the way and took He Xu along the way quickly.

After hesitation, the sky gradually dimmed, and in the dense forest, the vegetation was dense.

Even during the day, the sun is difficult to penetrate here, so everyone needs to be equipped with a strong flashlight.

When he brought He Xu to the area where the mineral water bottle was found, Gu Chen unfolded the printed color satellite map, then pointed to one of the areas with his finger, and said:

"We are at this location now, and the place where Zhou Xiaotong is being held seems to be not far away, but the terrain is very difficult."

After the words fell, everyone turned their eyes to He Xu.

He Xu, who was in handcuffs, also took the initiative to explain: "To go there, you need to cross a dangerous area."

"You'd better untie the handcuffs for me first, otherwise, it will be difficult for me to take you to your destination."

"Stop talking nonsense, don't play tricks with us!" When faced with He Xu's request, Ding Liang, who was on the side, directly responded with a strong attitude.

But at this moment, He Xu was still relentless, and continued to explain: "The secret path over there is a bit difficult to walk. If I stumble and fall to my death, then whose fault is it?"

Seeing that He Xu started to play his temper and refused to cooperate at first, Gu Chen should try his best to Ding Liang.

Forced to do so, Ding Liang could only sigh, reluctantly took out the key, and opened He Xu's handcuffs.

"You bastard, you'd better be honest with me." Feeling that Gu Chen believed in this scum too much, when Ding Liang uncuffed He Xu, he was also black-faced the whole time.

After freeing his hands, He Xu sighed heavily, and couldn't help twisting his arms while staying where he was, and said involuntarily, "You guys come over to me, and give me a flashlight."

"Here." Huang Zunlong directly handed his flashlight to He Xu.

At this time, He Xu just stayed where he was, briefly checked the specific location, and then walked directly towards one of the areas.

Gu Chen also walked here before when he was investigating, but this time, what He Xu brought to everyone was a road that constantly shuttles through the dense forest.

After a while, everyone seemed to lose their way in the process of going through the dense forest, but Gu Chen still followed behind He Xu.

For a person like He Xu, Gu Chen knew all too well that uncuffing his handcuffs was to facilitate his escape in the dense forest.

Especially now He Xu, after leading everyone around, suddenly started to quicken his pace, as if he wanted to use the familiarity of the terrain to leave everyone far behind.

However, He Xu's idea worked. After a while, members of Gu Chen's team disappeared into the dense forest vegetation.

However, when He Xu hid under a big tree and secretly observed the roadside scene, he felt that he had left Gu Chen's team far away.

But at this moment, an arm suddenly rested on He Xu's shoulder, which made He Xu shrink back in fright.

Turning around and looking again, Gu Chen had already appeared behind him without anyone noticing.
