Chapter 1837

Zhoujia Village, in front of Zhou Ye's house.

Seeing that everyone searched and found nothing, Zhou Ye seemed to have recovered from the state of panic just now.

At this moment, the shouting to the police also became a little arrogant, and even made the police let go of the bald Xu Jun.

But Lu Weiwei was not used to Zhou Ye, and she said in a bad mood: "We will take him back to investigate the situation of Xu Jun. As for you, Zhou Ye..."

Seeing that Zhou Ye's nostrils were upturned at the moment, Lu Weiwei continued to warn: "As for you, Zhou Ye, whether you have any problems, we will also investigate the situation."

"Captain Gu." Just as Lu Weiwei was negotiating with Zhou Ye, a police officer from the second criminal investigation team suddenly walked up to Gu Chen from the side and reminded Gu Chen in a low voice:

"When we searched the village, we found a suspicious old lady who said she was Zhou Ye's aunt."

"Really?" Gu Chen frowned when he heard the police officer's words, and after a while, he said:

"Bring her here."

"Yes."

After being reminded by Gu Chen, the police officer turned back immediately.

Not long after, a thin old lady, escorted by three police officers, came to Gu Chen.

When Zhou Ye saw the person coming, his heart skipped a beat.

Gu Chen took the initiative to step forward and asked the old lady, "Old lady, are you Zhou Ye's aunt?"

"That's right." The old lady nodded, and she also voluntarily admitted: "In the middle of the night, my dog ​​kept barking, and I thought there were thieves in the village."

"It happens that I live alone at home, so I took a hoe and went outside to see what's going on outside?"

Looking at the police officers on the left and right, the old lady also said helplessly: "It turned out that I was surrounded by you policemen. You asked me who I was? I was stunned at the time. Why do I feel that there are policemen everywhere in this village?" ?”

"Old lady, we are here to find a woman named Hu Fanzhen. This woman is from Jiangbei City and is currently missing."

"But according to our police investigation information, this woman named Hu Fanzhen is very likely to be in your Zhoujia Village now." Lu Weiwei also explained the specific situation to the old lady in every detail.

The old lady was stunned for a while, and asked curiously: "The missing woman? In our Zhoujia Village? Did you make a mistake?"

"Old lady." As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Police Officer Wang walked up to her, pointing at the bald Xu Jun who was handcuffed on the ground, and said:

"Do you know this person?"

"Him?" The old lady narrowed her eyes and shook her head, "I don't know him."

"Look carefully, has this person been to your village before?" Yuan Shasha did not want to stop, but also asked.

At this moment, the old lady couldn't help but walked a few steps and continued to observe.

After thinking about it briefly, he fell into confusion.

It seems to have some impressions, but I can't remember clearly.

Gu Chen glanced at the red car in front of Zhou Ye's house at this moment, and then reminded: "Then do you have any impression of this red car?"

"Red car?" Guided by Gu Chen's gaze, the old lady glanced back, and then suddenly realized: "If it's this car, then I've seen it before, it seems...it's been here a few times."

"The night before yesterday, do you still have any memory?" Gu Chen also asked again.

I feel that I must instill all kinds of information into the old lady in the shortest possible time.

Let the old lady form the memory she deserves in an instant.

The old man's memory is not very good, but under various reminders, he can still briefly recall some things he has seen.

Due to the presence of the police at the moment, neither Zhou Ye nor the bald Xu Jun dared to shout loudly.

The scene suddenly became dead silent.

After a moment of recollection, the old lady thought deeply: "This car was indeed driven to the village the night before yesterday."

"Then was the car parked here directly? Or was it driven somewhere? Do you still have any memory?" Gu Chen asked again.

"It seems to be..." The old lady looked at an intersection behind the village, and said hesitantly, "It seems that she didn't stop directly in the village, but drove to the back."

As soon as the old lady's voice fell, Gu Chen obviously felt that Zhou Ye beside him suddenly became tense.

Such intangible details made Gu Chen realize that after the red car drove into Zhoujia Village that night, it did not stop in the village immediately, but drove the car to other places not far from the village.

Thinking that Hu Fanzhen might be hidden there, Gu Chen hurriedly asked, "So, are there any buildings near your village?"

"Yes, there used to be an elementary school two kilometers away, but it has been abandoned for a long time now, and the house is a bit dilapidated and covered with weeds. Usually, no one goes there. If you go further ahead, you will have to walk another seven or eight kilometers. to another country road."

"The road over there leads to the town."

"Junior Brother Gu, He Junchao can talk about it, only the red car entered the village, but the road the old lady mentioned just now is actually monitored at the intersection, but there is no trace of the red car."

"So, the most likely place this red car has been to is the abandoned elementary school she just mentioned."

Lu Weiwei also reminded Gu Chen based on the technical support provided by He Junchao.

Gu Chen nodded slightly, knowing it well, so he asked the old lady: "Old lady, you can find the abandoned elementary school you mentioned by walking along this road, right?"

"Yes, it's not too far from the side of the road, you can see it from the side of the road."

"Thank you." Gu Chen felt delighted when he got an affirmative answer.

You know, if Hu Fan was really kidnapped, then being locked up in the village would obviously be too conspicuous.

The old people in the village, if they found out that outsiders were being held here, they might have called the police.

Zhou Ye is not stupid.

Moreover, according to Gu Chen's investigation of Zhou Ye's details, this Zhou Ye, because of his obsession with money, mistakenly dug the grave of an elderly villager's relative outside, so he was reported by the villagers, and he was caught.

Therefore, if Zhou Ye could make the same mistake a second time, it would obviously be unjustifiable.

Gu Chen glanced back at Zhou Ye, seeing Zhou Ye's flustered expression, he probably knew it in his heart.

Then look at the bald Xu Jun who was handcuffed on the ground. This guy just lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at him.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen didn't care too much, and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Other action teams stay where they are and block all intersections."

"The remaining four action groups, come with us to the abandoned elementary school."

"clear!"

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the police officers who stayed there immediately stood up to respond.

The other action teams also expressed their receipt through the walkie-talkie.

A moment later, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, as well as three police officers from Operation 4, escorted bald Xu Jun and Zhou Ye, took three police cars, and began to search for the abandoned elementary school two kilometers outside the village.

On the side of the road, the abandoned elementary school building looms in the darkness in the distance.

The dilapidated floor of the two-story building has long been dilapidated.

Half of the two-story building had already collapsed.

When everyone rushed to the gate of this abandoned elementary school, this was Anfu County, and the surrounding grasslands were clearly marked by tires.

If according to the old lady's words, no one has been here all year round, and it is surrounded by weeds, then it is impossible for anyone to come here.

But when everyone parked their vehicles on the side of the road, they were obviously relieved, and the grass was obviously crushed.

After getting off the car, Gu Chen turned on the strong flashlight and irradiated the surroundings of the abandoned elementary school a few times.

And Zhou Ye and bald Xu Jun were also taken out of the car one after another.

Gu Chen asked Xu Jun beside him: "Is Hu Fan really locked up in this place by you?"

The bald Xu Jun secretly glanced at Gu Chen, but said nothing.

Lu Weiwei asked Zhou Ye, "Tell me."

"I...I don't know." Zhou Ye was a little timid now, not daring to answer the question at all.

Lu Weiwei said angrily: "You think we are stupid? Now that we have come here, do you think we can't find anyone?"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and take someone in to have a look." It was Police Officer Wang who spoke. At this moment, Police Officer Wang has turned on the strong flashlight, and he can't wait to go in and have a look.

So Zhou Ye, bald-headed Xu Jun, and Gu Chen were handed over to the three police officers of the fourth action team to guard, while he led Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha together, and started to use a strong flashlight to walk towards the abandoned elementary school.

"Shushasha!"

The surrounding vegetation is dense, walking among the weeds, all kinds of vegetation rubbing against each other one after another.

Gu Chen walked in the forefront, using his master-level observation skills to always pay attention to the broken marks of the surrounding vegetation.

According to the judgment, you need to walk to the right to pass through the damaged fence.

And at the end of a fence on the right side of the corridor, you have to continue to the left.

Gu Chen went straight through the dilapidated two-story building, and came directly to another bungalow behind.

At this moment, the bricks and tiles of the bungalows have already collapsed, but the roof of one of the houses does not seem to have been damaged.

The old wooden door is locked with a new lock, and the contrast between the old and the new is particularly eye-catching.

Gu Chen walked to the door and knocked on the old wooden door three times.

"Tuk tuk."

"Is there anyone right away?"

The voice fell, and there was no movement in the house.

But Gu Chen didn't give up, continued to knock on the door, and continued to shout: "Hu Fanzhen, are you there? Is there anyone inside?"

After Gu Chen shouted loudly several times in a row, Gu Chen clearly felt a subtle rustling movement coming from the room.

However, Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha didn't seem to feel this subtle movement at all.

And even Gu Chen, who has master-level observation skills, can only discover some subtle sensations through his super perception.

"There is movement inside." Gu Chen said.

"Where is it?" Lu Weiwei said that she didn't hear it, and put her ear close to the old wooden door.

After a while, Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen, shook her head and said, "There seems to be no movement inside."

"Maybe you didn't hear it." Gu Chen directly took off the mechanical baton from the equipment on his waist and swung it on the spot.

Then he began to slam the door and said: "Hu Fanzhen! Hu Fanzhen! Are you in there? If you are, give me a response!"

Gu Chen yelled several times in a row, accompanied by the loud slamming of the door.

This kind of movement is still very loud in the quiet abandoned elementary school.

Movements can be heard all around.

However, when Gu Chen finished knocking and put his ear close to the wooden door, he realized that the rustling inside seemed to become more and more obvious.

"Get out of the way." Gu Chen couldn't wait any longer, and directly blocked Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha with both arms.

Then he took a few steps back, grabbed the ground with the tip of his left toe, and his body went out like a cannonball. He raised his right foot and kicked it.

Under the huge impact force, the old wooden door couldn't stand the toss, and was smashed by Gu Chen's kick in an instant.

And the surrounding doorways also became loose.

Gu Chen turned back again, using the same movement as before, and suddenly increased his strength again.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After three consecutive kicks, the wooden door couldn't bear it any longer. It broke away from the door, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

A thick cloud of dust suddenly rose around.

Everyone couldn't help covering their mouths and noses, stepped back a few steps, and fanned away all the dust around them.

Gu Chen put on the mask, held a bright flashlight in his left hand, and a mechanical baton in his right, and walked into the room first.

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei followed closely behind.

Yuan Shasha stood at the door to observe the movement.

"Why is this room empty?" Lu Weiwei picked up the strong flashlight and irradiated the surrounding walls a few times, but found no sign of anyone.

"No." Gu Chen looked around and shouted again: "Hu Fanzhen! Please reply?"

After the words were finished, everyone realized that there was a sudden rustling sound from under their feet.

If everyone was outside the door just now, they didn't feel the movement that Gu Chen discovered.

So now, with everyone standing in the room, this rustling movement seemed particularly strong at this moment.

"Underneath!"

Yuan Shasha reminded.

Everyone also instantly shone bright flashlights on the ground.

"Here." Lu Weiwei was the first to notice that there seemed to be some hollow movement under her feet, and she couldn't help but paused a few times with her feet.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Three empty beeps let everyone confirm their position.

"Get out of the way." Officer Wang took the lead, squatted down, and pushed away the dust and debris covered on the wooden board, only to find that the wooden board on the ground was fastened by an iron bolt.

Because Police Officer Wang and Gu Chen had also rescued the wandering painter Aguda in the deserted riverside area before.

At that time, Aguda was also locked up underground by his younger brother, so Police Officer Wang had some experience in this.

So he quickly removed the iron bolt and turned over the wooden board.

At this moment, a musty smell came from the tunnel in an instant.

Everyone was choked by this unpleasant smell, kept coughing, and kept waving their arms, trying to fan away the embarrassing smell.

"Let's go!" Gu Chen pushed everyone away, lay down on the ground actively, and then adjusted the beam of the strong flashlight to shine on the tunnel for a while.

At this moment, Gu Chen found a corner of the tunnel where a figure seemed to be moving slowly.

Gu Chen asked, "Hu Fanzhen?"

"You are...you are Gu Chen?" A familiar response came from the tunnel.

Lu Weiwei was overjoyed at the moment, and said happily, "It's really Hu Fanzhen, Hu Fanzhen is really here?"

"Hurry up, let's see how to get down?" Officer Wang was overjoyed for a while, and was also looking for a way to get down.

Yuan Shasha suddenly pointed to the corner and said, "There is a wooden ladder over there."

After the words fell, everyone cast their gazes over.

The wooden ladder is a suggested ladder made of tree branches. It doesn't look strong, but it should be able to withstand it if one person goes down alone.

So everyone worked together to place the wooden ladder at the exit and continue to the inside of the tunnel.

It was only then that Gu Chen realized that the tunnel was actually not too high, it was about 2.5 meters high.

Just relying on the support of the wooden ladder, Gu Chen easily jumped to the ground.

At this moment, Gu Chen heard the movement of iron chains, and only then realized that Hu Fanzhen, who was a little crisp in front of him, had his right leg bound by an iron chain and his hands were also handcuffed.

There was a thick bandage around his mouth.

The bandage was directly wrapped several times around Hu Fanzhen's mouth.

But at this moment, because there is no light inside the tunnel, Hu Fanzhen's body is very weak now, and he dare not open his eyes.

The bright flashlight has fatally stimulated Hu Fanzhen's eyes.

Gu Chen hurriedly pointed the light source of the strong flashlight in the opposite direction, then walked to Hu Fanzhen's side, patted Hu Fanzhen's back, and said comfortingly:

"It's okay, it's okay now, this will help you untie it."

Hu Fanzhen seemed to have heard Gu Chen's comfort, and after a while, he didn't feel too excited.

Gu Chen casually took out the police dagger from the police equipment, and first cut off the rope tied to Hu Fanzhen's hands.

After that, he began to slowly tear off the tape around Hu Fanzhen's mouth along the edge of the tape.

Gu Chen moved very slowly, for fear of hurting Hu Fanzhen.

Officer Wang who came down later also started to help Gu Chen, and the two cooperated together.

He untied the shackles on his body, but was stuck only by the iron chain.

Officer Wang reminded, "Gu Chen, I'm afraid the iron chains on Hu Fanzhen's legs can't be untied."

Gu Chen looked at the end of the chain, which was wrapped around a wooden stake.

So Gu Chen didn't say anything, and took two steps back again.

Officer Wang knew what Gu Chen meant at a glance, but he reminded, "Gu Chen, this may be a load-bearing pillar. If you break the load-bearing pillar, we may all be buried here."

"I don't care about so much anymore." Gu Chen pointed to another load-bearing pillar beside him and said, "There is another one beside it. If you transfer Hu Fanzhen to that side, you can go there too."

"Gu Chen, are you okay?" Officer Wang hesitated.

"Is it okay, don't we have to do this now?" Gu Chen didn't hesitate, and directly took two steps back, according to the movement of kicking the door just now, he was ready to go.

After a while, Gu Chen rushed over like a cannonball and kicked directly at the stake.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Going down three times in a row, the entire old wooden pile suddenly cracked a deep crack.

Gu Chen used his own strength again, grabbed the iron chain, and pulled it hard.

The iron chain was pulled out directly along the gap, and the wooden stake also broke.

However, at this moment, the entire tunnel became precarious, as if it was about to collapse in an instant, all kinds of dust kept falling around, and the calls of Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha kept ringing in my ears.
