Chapter 1908
On the hillside, several flashlight beams irradiated Gu Chen's body repeatedly, illuminating Gu Chen's surroundings brightly.
However, Gu Chen was not in a hurry to climb up the hillside, but shouted to the top of the hillside: "Put down the safety rope again, I want to go down and have a look."
"Gu Chen, what's going on?" Officer Wang saw that Gu Chen came to Xiao Bai's side, but he continued to search down the dark hillside, and he also saw the problem, so he couldn't help shouting.
"Xiaobai is dead. His neck was cut off by a sharp weapon. There are at least two wounds. I want to go down and have a look."
Due to the violent wind and rain, Gu Chen's voice seemed insignificant in the rainstorm, but everyone could still hear it vaguely.
Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, everyone's eyes were startled, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but whispered.
Zhao Meng also had tears in her eyes when she heard Gu Chen's words. She was so excited that she wanted to go down the mountain to check, but was held back by Yuan Shasha.
"It seems that Xiaobai's death is strange. Gu Chen wants to go down to check the situation and see if there is anyone down the mountain."
Police Officer Wang took a deep breath, and then said to everyone: "Everyone, connect the remaining life-saving ropes and add some length to Gu Chen, hurry up."
Following Officer Wang's order, the police officer with the life-saving rope on his body immediately buckled the buckle to the interface, and then slowly extended the rope.
And Gu Chen was secured by the rope, and immediately began to search slowly downwards.
The surrounding area was pitch black, and the violent wind and rain blew the whole woods upside down, and the ground was full of fallen bamboo leaves.
Gu Chen adjusted the flashlight on the FAST tactical helmet to diffuse mode to increase the brightness of the surrounding area, and then began to search around with Xiaobai's body as the center.
10 m.
20 meters.
30 meters.
...
Gu Chen was getting farther and farther away from Xiaobai's body.
At this time, the bamboo forest was filled with a strange atmosphere.
Gu Chen panted heavily, but there was no movement.
Due to the rush of time, Gu Chen couldn't stay too long, so Gu Chen returned to Xiaobai's body again, tied Xiaobai's body around his waist with a safety rope, and fastened it to his own waist lock.
And around Xiaobai's body, use cordon tape to wrap around a few bamboos to determine the position and make a mark.
After everything was ready, Gu Chen shouted to the top: "Pull me up."
"Junior Brother Gu said to pull him up." Lu Weiwei reminded loudly.
Afterwards, everyone worked together to grab the rope and lift it up.
Due to the strong upward force, Gu Chen almost only needs to grab the rope and use his solid footsteps to be quickly pulled back to the path by the crowd.
At this moment, seeing Gu Chen bring Xiaobai's body up, Zhao Meng immediately rushed up, hugged Xiaobai, and burst into tears.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you, Xiaobai? Woohoo!"
Lu Weiwei helped Gu Chen unlock the lock, and put Xiao Bai on the ground.
Everyone immediately gathered around and shone the light of the flashlight on Xiao Bai.
According to Gu Chen's prompt, Lu Weiwei brushed away the bloody hair on Xiaobai's neck, only to find that there were indeed two deep wounds on Xiaobai's neck as Gu Chen said.
"It was cut. The murderer used a sharp weapon to slash at the back of Xiaobai's neck, which caused Xiaobai's neck to be cut off directly."
"Yeah." Hearing Officer Wang's words, Yuan Shasha also echoed after the inspection: "Besides, the wound is so big, it is obvious that it was injured by a weapon like an axe."
"That's right." Seeing that Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha had already seen the clue, Gu Chen nodded slightly and said:
"You guys thought about it with me, the murder weapon is definitely a big object, and, according to my speculation, Xiaobai should be facing the murderer, and rushed forward, trying to fight the murderer, but the murderer swung a sharp weapon like an axe, It was cut directly to the back of the neck, and it was cut twice in a row."
"Woooo, Xiaobai died so badly, woooo." Seeing Xiaobai, who had been raised for many years, being hacked to death like this, Zhao Meng cried even more sadly.
However, Gu Chen's thoughts did not stop, and he quickly reminded Zhao Meng: "Zhao Meng, you said that Xiaobai has been with your father, Zhao Wengang, but Xiaobai died here, but there is no trace of your father. I think it must have happened here." what."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Meng immediately raised her head, and hurriedly asked, "Officer Gu, did you find my dad at the foot of the mountain? And Second Uncle?"
"Not yet." Gu Chen shook his head, and said truthfully: "I just went down the mountain to have a look, and checked the surroundings. Except for Xiaobai, there are no other living things here."
"That is to say, Zhao Meng's father and second uncle may not be here at all? Maybe they got separated? Or, what might have happened at that time? Then everyone separated because of this reason."
"Senior Brother Wang, there seems to be something wrong here."
Police officer Wang is still making various guesses and reasoning, while Ji Zhe has already called out from the side.
Everyone turned their heads and saw Ji Zhe on the side of the road ahead, as if they had found a clue.
So everyone hurried over immediately.
Gu Chen hurriedly asked, "Ji Zhe, what's the matter?"
"Senior Brother Gu, look quickly, these bamboos seem to have been cut by knives."
"That's right." Lu Weiwei walked over from behind Ji Zhe, and after observing it, she quickly made her own judgment:
"Moreover, these knife marks seem to have been cut inadvertently during the fight, not only here, but also here, here, and here."
Based on Ji Zhe's discovery, Lu Weiwei found many knife marks nearby.
Gu Chen nodded slightly: "Judging from these knife marks, there should have been a fight here at that time, and the person holding the blade was swinging the blade and slashing towards the opposite side."
"But because the people on the opposite side dodged in time, the blade hit the bamboo, forming a knife mark."
After thinking about it, Gu Chen quickly turned his head to look at Zhao Meng, and asked, "Zhao Meng, among you people in Zhaojia Village, who has an axe?"
"My house." Zhao Meng said.
"What about other than your house?" Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked again.
Zhao Meng shook her head: "As far as I know, our Zhaojia Village only has an ax in our family, and this ax has always been used by my dad. Usually when I go up the mountain, my dad will put this ax on his body .”
"What about the others?" Yuan Shasha asked again.
"When other people go up the mountain, they usually bring some small machetes, which are specially used for chopping bamboo." Zhao Meng said.
Hearing Zhao Meng's remarks, everyone immediately looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they were lost in thought.
Lu Weiwei even returned to Xiaobai's body again, checked the wound on Xiaobai's neck, and said involuntarily, "This wound is very serious. Is it a machete or an axe?"
"However, all the bones have been cut off, leaving only the skin and flesh connected. The machete used for chopping bamboo is not so powerful, right?"
"No." Gu Chen shook his head and confirmed, "It's hard to cut off a dog's head to this extent with a normal machete."
"Like Xiaobai, it's more like being injured by a powerful weapon like an axe."
"It's impossible for my dad to kill Xiaobai. Xiaobai is so obedient and has been with my family for so many years. My dad can't kill Xiaobai." Gu Chen judged that the murder weapon might be an axe, but those who usually carry an ax up the mountain also Only his father, Zhao Wengang.
So Zhao Meng became anxious when he heard it.
But Gu Chen quickly comforted him: "Zhao Meng, I didn't say that the person who killed Xiaobai was your father, because maybe your father's ax was in the hands of someone else at that time."
"Also, is the wound an axe? Or a machete? We can do a knife wound test, it's not a problem."
Taking a deep breath and braving the heavy rain, Gu Chen also reminded:
"But what I want to know most now is what happened here at that time? Why are there so many knife marks on the surrounding bamboo?"
"Obviously, there must have been a fight here at the time. It is very likely that because of participating in the fight, Xiaobai was cut off by the murderer and thrown down the hillside."
"That is to say, Xiaobai was killed to save my father?" Hearing what Gu Chen said, Zhao Meng obviously also guessed the result.
But Gu Chen shook his head: "It's not easy to come to a conclusion now, so, anyway, Fujia Village is coming soon, everyone might as well hurry up and go to Fujia Village to rest."
"Look at Fu's Village and see if you can find out the whereabouts of the four people from Zhao's Village."
"agree."
"Then quickly go to Fujia Village to rest."
...
Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, other police officers also echoed.
Afterwards, Gu Chen found a life-saving bag, put Xiaobai's body into it, put it on a zipper, and a group of police officers took turns carrying it.
Everyone marked the place where Xiaobai fell and around the bamboo with knife marks, and then set off again and rushed towards Fujia Village.
Passing through the bamboo forest, an open area soon appeared.
According to the guidance of the guide Zhao Meng, everyone ran all the way and finally came to the village square of Fujia Village.
Compared with the previous Hujia Village, the villagers' square in Fujia Village appears to be wider.
As soon as they arrived, everyone immediately searched around.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, hid under the eaves, checking the contact list with a flashlight.
"In Fujia Village, there are two missing persons, Fu Xin and Fu Qiang, both in their 40s."
Looking up and looking around, Gu Chen turned around and asked Zhao Meng: "Do you know Fu Xin and Fu Qiang?"
"I'm not very familiar, but I know what people look like, and I often meet them." Zhao Meng said.
"Then where are Fu Xin and Fu Qiang's family?" Gu Chen asked again.
"This one, and this one." Zhao Meng pointed to two locations.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei immediately led someone to knock on the door.
However, "Fu Xin, Fu Qiang" repeatedly yelled, but nothing happened.
Lu Weiwei then looked in front of the door, then ran to the window to look, but did not see any response.
Returning to Gu Chen with disappointment, Lu Weiwei shook her head, expressing helplessness: "It seems that there is no one at home."
"Fu Xin and Fu Qiang are the only two missing villagers in Fujia Village. Could it be that these two guys went to patrol the mountains with Zhao Wengang and Zhao Wude?" Police Officer Wang also had a whim.
But Gu Chen shook his head and said, "In the bamboo forest not far from Fu's Village, there was obviously a fight, and even Xiaobai from Zhao Meng's family died tragically. I don't think it's that simple. .”
"I think so too." Lu Weiwei walked to Gu Chen's side and echoed, "This Fu Xin and Fu Qiang are not old people, they are in their prime."
"If they don't have a mobile phone signal and can't contact Wangxian Town at the foot of the mountain, they can escape by themselves, but now they are lost."
After thinking for a while, Lu Weiwei said again: "I suspect that perhaps these two guys are the ones who clashed with the people from Zhaojia Village."
"No way?" Yuan Shasha expressed doubts, and then hurriedly asked Zhao Meng beside her: "Zhao Meng, this Fu Xin and Fu Qiang, usually with these people in your Zhaojia Village, especially with your father and your second uncle, Is there any deep contradiction?"
"No?" Zhao Meng shook her head and said with a puzzled expression, "I'm rarely at home, and I usually live in the town."
"I'm not very familiar with Fu Xin and Fu Qiang in Fujia Village, and I don't know much about them."
"But I know that every time I go home and meet Fu Xin and Fu Qiang on the road, they will greet me with a smile."
Sniffing, Zhao Meng tried to calm down, and then said: "So, I don't think there should be any hatred between the two of them, my father and my second uncle."
"What do these two people do?" Gu Chen suddenly became curious about these two villagers.
"What do you do?" Zhao Meng scratched her head and said in retrospect, "They seem to open a shop in the town, like a grocery store, selling everything."
"But usually when I see them the most, it's also in the town. They should seldom go up the mountain to go home."
"Open a shop in the town?" Hearing Zhao Meng's words, Gu Chen walked back and forth twice, then said in thought:
"That is to say, they usually live in the town, or in their grocery store?"
Seeing Zhao Meng nodded slightly, Gu Chen asked again: "Are they two brothers?"
"Yes, they are two brothers, both have their own families, but it's very strange." Speaking of this, Zhao Meng suddenly became confused.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei hurriedly asked Zhao Meng, "Zhao Meng, what do you mean by strange?"
"Their family." Zhao Meng said.
Officer Wang asked again: "What happened to their family?"
"Just... I don't know how to say it?" Zhao Meng scratched the back of her head and said hesitantly:
"I remember that the grocery store opened in the town is usually run by brothers Fu Xin and Fu Qiang, but they live in the store all the year round, while their family members always live in the city."
"I also don't understand. Since the family members are all in the city, why do they want to live in Wangxian Town?"
"Isn't Wangxian Valley under development? Maybe they want to stay here to see if there is any opportunity to make a fortune?" Yuan Shasha also put forward her own opinion.
But Zhao Meng shook her head, denied it and said, "Even if Wangxian Valley is developed, it has nothing to do with them, because the tourist route is fixed."
"For example, our Zhaojia Village, which is the first stop on the mountain, and the Hujia Village behind, are all built along the river in the mountain. If we want to develop our villages, we must develop them."
"And look at this Fujia Village again. This is a branch road that needs to pass through a bamboo forest, and the Fujia Village is far away from tourist routes, so it is unlikely to be developed."
"Also, we will build a cableway along the river on the side of Wangxiangu in the future. I don't think it has anything to do with Fujia Village."
"They stay here, selling groceries at most, but they look rich."
Hearing what Zhao Meng said, Gu Chen immediately became alert, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean by being rich?"
"Just... the two brothers each have a car, and they seem to be very expensive, but I have also gone to their store to buy things. How much turnover can a small grocery store make in a day? How can it make so much money? "
"Maybe their family is working in the city to make money?" Lu Weiwei said.
Zhao Meng shook her head and said doubtfully, "I don't know either. Anyway, I was studying in the city, but I met their family members. It seems that none of their family members are working. I heard that they bought a house in the city. .”
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Meng was also thoughtful: "I'm wondering, the two brothers live in Wangxian Town, run a grocery store, can buy a house in the city, and can buy a good car, and they don't know how much money they have. How did it come here?"
"There may be something wrong with these two people." Listening to Zhao Meng's explanation, Gu Chen also noticed that there seemed to be many doubts about the two brothers, Fu Xin and Fu Qiang.
For example, the family members of the two brothers are all in the urban area, but why do the two brothers always stay in Wangxian Town, running a grocery store with a poor turnover?
But running such a grocery store with limited turnover can buy a good car and a house.
It can be seen that these people have their own ways of making money, but can they rely solely on the turnover of grocery stores? Gu Chen felt that it shouldn't be.
First of all, the population of Wangxian Town is limited.
If you do everything you can, even if all the people in Wangxian Town come to shop at the two brothers' store, it won't bring much profit.
Thinking of Xiaobai, the Chinese pastoral dog whose neck was cut off after falling off the cliff, and the knife marks in the bamboo forest, Gu Chen felt more and more that this Fujia Village seemed a little strange.
"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen's thoughts, Lu Weiwei hurried forward and asked, "Do you think that the two brothers of the Fu family have something to do with Xiaobai's death and the knife marks from the fight in the bamboo forest?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen didn't hide it, and replied straightforwardly: "These two brothers are in their prime, and they have been living in this Wangxian Valley. Their ability to survive in the mountains is obviously far greater than those lonely old people. .”
"But now, the two brothers lost contact in the mountains, which is a bit unreasonable."
"If it's true that they followed Zhao Meng's father, and Second Uncle and the others to investigate the situation at dangerous places in the mountains, then that might make sense, but what happened to Xiaobai's death?"
"If there is nothing wrong with the Fu family brothers, why would Xiaobai, who has been by Zhao Wengang's side, be hacked to death with a sharp weapon?"
"And how did the knife marks from fighting in the bamboo forest appear? What are these people doing?"
Facing one problem after another, Gu Chen is also suffering from a headache now. It seems that among these missing persons, they all have their own ghosts.
...
1 second to remember vertices:
However, Gu Chen was not in a hurry to climb up the hillside, but shouted to the top of the hillside: "Put down the safety rope again, I want to go down and have a look."
"Gu Chen, what's going on?" Officer Wang saw that Gu Chen came to Xiao Bai's side, but he continued to search down the dark hillside, and he also saw the problem, so he couldn't help shouting.
"Xiaobai is dead. His neck was cut off by a sharp weapon. There are at least two wounds. I want to go down and have a look."
Due to the violent wind and rain, Gu Chen's voice seemed insignificant in the rainstorm, but everyone could still hear it vaguely.
Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, everyone's eyes were startled, they looked at each other, and couldn't help but whispered.
Zhao Meng also had tears in her eyes when she heard Gu Chen's words. She was so excited that she wanted to go down the mountain to check, but was held back by Yuan Shasha.

Following Officer Wang's order, the police officer with the life-saving rope on his body immediately buckled the buckle to the interface, and then slowly extended the rope.
And Gu Chen was secured by the rope, and immediately began to search slowly downwards.
The surrounding area was pitch black, and the violent wind and rain blew the whole woods upside down, and the ground was full of fallen bamboo leaves.
Gu Chen adjusted the flashlight on the FAST tactical helmet to diffuse mode to increase the brightness of the surrounding area, and then began to search around with Xiaobai's body as the center.

Due to the rush of time, Gu Chen couldn't stay too long, so Gu Chen returned to Xiaobai's body again, tied Xiaobai's body around his waist with a safety rope, and fastened it to his own waist lock.
And around Xiaobai's body, use cordon tape to wrap around a few bamboos to determine the position and make a mark.
After everything was ready, Gu Chen shouted to the top: "Pull me up."
"Junior Brother Gu said to pull him up." Lu Weiwei reminded loudly.
Afterwards, everyone worked together to grab the rope and lift it up.
Due to the strong upward force, Gu Chen almost only needs to grab the rope and use his solid footsteps to be quickly pulled back to the path by the crowd.
At this moment, seeing Gu Chen bring Xiaobai's body up, Zhao Meng immediately rushed up, hugged Xiaobai, and burst into tears.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai, what's wrong with you, Xiaobai? Woohoo!"
Lu Weiwei helped Gu Chen unlock the lock, and put Xiao Bai on the ground.
Everyone immediately gathered around and shone the light of the flashlight on Xiao Bai.
According to Gu Chen's prompt, Lu Weiwei brushed away the bloody hair on Xiaobai's neck, only to find that there were indeed two deep wounds on Xiaobai's neck as Gu Chen said.
"It was cut. The murderer used a sharp weapon to slash at the back of Xiaobai's neck, which caused Xiaobai's neck to be cut off directly."

"That is to say, Zhao Meng's father and second uncle may not be here at all? Maybe they got separated? Or, what might have happened at that time? Then everyone separated because of this reason."
"Senior Brother Wang, there seems to be something wrong here."

Zhao Meng shook her head and said doubtfully, "I don't know either. Anyway, I was studying in the city, but I met their family members. It seems that none of their family members are working. I heard that they bought a house in the city. .”
Taking a deep breath, Zhao Meng was also thoughtful: "I'm wondering, the two brothers live in Wangxian Town, run a grocery store, can buy a house in the city, and can buy a good car, and they don't know how much money they have. How did it come here?"
"There may be something wrong with these two people." Listening to Zhao Meng's explanation, Gu Chen also noticed that there seemed to be many doubts about the two brothers, Fu Xin and Fu Qiang.
For example, the family members of the two brothers are all in the urban area, but why do the two brothers always stay in Wangxian Town, running a grocery store with a poor turnover?
But running such a grocery store with limited turnover can buy a good car and a house.
It can be seen that these people have their own ways of making money, but can they rely solely on the turnover of grocery stores? Gu Chen felt that it shouldn't be.
First of all, the population of Wangxian Town is limited.
If you do everything you can, even if all the people in Wangxian Town come to shop at the two brothers' store, it won't bring much profit.
Thinking of Xiaobai, the Chinese pastoral dog whose neck was cut off after falling off the cliff, and the knife marks in the bamboo forest, Gu Chen felt more and more that this Fujia Village seemed a little strange.
"Junior Brother Gu." Seeing Gu Chen's thoughts, Lu Weiwei hurried forward and asked, "Do you think that the two brothers of the Fu family have something to do with Xiaobai's death and the knife marks from the fight in the bamboo forest?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen didn't hide it, and replied straightforwardly: "These two brothers are in their prime, and they have been living in this Wangxian Valley. Their ability to survive in the mountains is obviously far greater than those lonely old people. .”
"But now, the two brothers lost contact in the mountains, which is a bit unreasonable."
"If it's true that they followed Zhao Meng's father, and Second Uncle and the others to investigate the situation at dangerous places in the mountains, then that might make sense, but what happened to Xiaobai's death?"
"If there is nothing wrong with the Fu family brothers, why would Xiaobai, who has been by Zhao Wengang's side, be hacked to death with a sharp weapon?"
"And how did the knife marks from fighting in the bamboo forest appear? What are these people doing?"
Facing one problem after another, Gu Chen is also suffering from a headache now. It seems that among these missing persons, they all have their own ghosts.
