As the sky gradually brightened, the crisis was temporarily lifted.
But the psychological shadow left on the three of them last night also lingered on them.
Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Police Officer Wang felt that he had just saved his life, but when he looked back, they just came here to find Zhou Xiaotong's whereabouts, how could they get killed?
"No, this matter can't be left alone, it needs to be discussed in the long run." Officer Wang couldn't hold back his breath.
Lu Weiwei said indifferently: "No matter how angry you old Wang is, you have to leave this forest, right?"
"Okay, I don't want to stay in this place for a minute." Police Officer Wang stood up, twisting his whole body habitually, and suddenly found soreness in many places, and he complained again and again:
"Staying outside here all night, I feel like my bones are falling apart."
"You also said that the two of us slept soundly last night, but Junior Brother Gu didn't sleep all night, so he stayed by our side and guarded our safety. That's it, Junior Brother Gu didn't say he was tired, but your old Wang Call first." Lu Weiwei sneered at Police Officer Wang's complaint.
Gu Chen also interrupted: "Don't say anything now, I want to see the evacuation route of that guy last night, and then we are leaving here."
"What did you say? Gu Chen, you're not kidding, are you?" Hearing that Gu Chen was going after that person, Police Officer Wang felt a little bit in his heart.
"Haha." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Geng Shuming on the side smiled and said:
"What does he mean?" Junior Brother Gu asked.
"It seems that Xiaojia has worked for so long, and there is still no tacit understanding."
"Then I watched you come out of the dense forest house, and continued to follow you all the way, breaking your marks all the way, and finally came to the place where you confronted each other."
I must have met a gang last night, so, knowing that Gu Chen was alone, the other party would definitely evacuate so easily, but would choose to deal with Gu Chen in the dense forest.
Thinking about it now, I really have to thank the white night and fog last night.
It was also after a complicated exchange of pleasantries with Gu Chen and the others that Yuan Shasha hung up the phone.
So, no time is not so subtle.
So Gu Chen hurriedly dialed back the phone. After a while, the phone was connected, and Yuan Shasha also hurriedly said hello:
"Senior Brother Gu, when will they come back?"
Gu Chen searched all the way, but didn't waste too much energy.
But Gu Chen has a determined face: "That guy, we must find out, and now the sky is getting brighter, it's bad, you can't look for clues about the other party."
"That guy really evacuated from there." Gu Chen confirmed his judgment before squatting on his upper body and checking the relevant area carelessly.
Gu Chen first came to a place eight meters away from himself based on the position he judged last night.
"It may take some time," Geng Shu said.
"It seems that you have returned to a far point." Geng Shu said looking at the big house in the dense forest.
"Is that guy also a chicken thief? I have been following you, but you have discovered it."
That's worse than the area where Xiao's family rested last night, and there are not many weeds that can stand up at the moment.
"Yes, Senior Sister Lu, what range can he see from that angle?" Geng Shu asked a question.
"That's right, you didn't find the mineral water bottles in this place." Upon seeing this, Police Officer Wang quickly agreed.
It cannot be said that Geng Shuming and Police Officer Wang indirectly became Gu Chen's drag.
Of course, the oil bottle can be a weak support at any time.
"The bad thing is that Da Yuan is stupid. I know you guys are answering the phone. It's convenient for you now. Have you kept calling?"
Therefore, there will not be too many scruples along the way, and there will be some signs of excessive trampling of vegetation.
Junior Brother Gu looked at the traces on the ground, then at the direction of the big house in the dense forest, his heart skipped a beat, and he said quickly:
"You are Hanhu, what is the situation on his side? Knowing that he may be too convenient to answer the phone, he adjusted the phone to mute, so it was a long time ago, and you didn't call him again until dawn. But someone is still connected."
"Sitting cross-legged outside the haystack, you all feel exhausted, but that guy just stood there for less than an hour, exhausting a lot of energy."
... Since he was afraid of exposing the target last night, Gu Chen turned the phone to silent.
Junior Brother Gu also patted his low chest, and said rationally: "Fortunately, Lu Weiwei predicted that there would be no such incident last night, so she turned her phone to silent mode early."
"Now you have to go back quickly, just like Senior Brother Wang said, put the most possible people back, and see what those people were doing last night?"
"Reject." Gu Chen just nodded slightly, and immediately followed the road he went down the mountain last night, ending the original road and returning.
After experiencing the frightening moment last night, Gu Chen felt more and more that among the people he came into contact with in that area afterwards, everyone seemed to have something on their minds.
"You guys are going to leave at all." Junior Brother Gu said.
"Definitely say we need to investigate, this fat man can also be let go."
When Gu Chen and the others walked around according to each other's traces and came to a narrow road, Gu Chen realized that the dense forest house was right in front of him.
"Ah?" The fat man shuddered and woke up from his sleep.
"It's bad, they pay attention to the present."
When Gu Chen and the others came to Xinxin Hotel, the fat backstage man was lying down on the recliner in front of the backstage and taking a nap.
Perhaps at a certain moment, the other party turned on a powerful light source to illuminate his feet, but that would inevitably bring a lot of convenience to his actions.
"This place is the place where you found the empty mineral water bottle last night?"
"It seems that it was right to provoke me last night. If you provoke me, you will definitely suffer." Officer Wang was also surprised when he thought of those things.
"Gu Chen, don't say anything, chase after him, even if you find someone, at least you need to know where this guy escaped from."
"It's too late." Hearing Geng Shu's remarks, Police Officer Wang also gritted his teeth with hatred, and said out of reason:
"And that guy, retreating into the dense forest, is tens of meters away from you. I may have hidden in the woods and observed you secretly."
Only now did I realize that there were few missed calls, and the caller was Yuan Shasha.
"What's the matter Da Yuan?" Gu Chen also asked in a bad manner.
"If you're unlucky, you might be able to find some important breakthroughs. In that case, when you return, you won't be able to find out the identity of this person based on those clues."
Since last night, Gu Chen's team was in a vertical queue, with Gu Chen at the back, Junior Brother Gu and Police Officer Wang at the front, but the Xiao family followed each other's footsteps and walked backward step by step.
Gu Chen nodded silently, and also hurriedly said: "It can be seen from this that when you were scattered in this area and studied the empty mineral water bottles, the other guy stayed in your current area and secretly observed you."
If he was worried about the danger of his colleagues last night, with Gu Chen's courage, he would follow along to find out no matter what.
But forming a team of eight people dared to act recklessly for convenience.
You know, what Xiaojia is facing is definitely a jungle underdog.
"That's why I escaped with the help of friction."
When Gu Chen and the others came to the backstage, did they wake you up immediately?
"Are you leaving?" The fat man yawned, and said it casually, but when he remembered what happened last night, he came back to his senses and said quickly:
"He arranged for you to send Zhou Xiaotong's father away. You haven't finished the task yet. Before you came back, you found that they were all there, so you called him back and found that his phone was connected, but someone answered it."
Although what Geng Shu said was not idealistic, it was the best solution at the moment.
"Oh my god." Feeling more evil the more he listened, Geng Shuming shrank his neck and said in fear:
"What's the matter?" Yuan Shasha on the other end of the phone smiled habitually and explained:
Geng Shu followed the opponent's evacuation route and searched all the way.
"That's right, they went to Qianshan last night, so they went to Qianshan, didn't they find anything?"
At this moment, some plants around have not been trampled slightly, so it can be seen that no one stayed there for a long time last night, which caused some weeds to stand up.
"The other party may have been monitoring you from the very end, and, you retreated into the dense forest house from here, you remember very Hanhu, here is a fir forest."
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly to express his approval, before turning his mobile phone to the current answering state, he said again:
You immediately rubbed your eyes, took a sloppy look, and found that the people who came were Gu Chen and the others, and then you said with a sigh of relief: "Why are they? Why did they come so early?"
"Do you think you should go to Xinxin Hotel first and ask? After all, the fat male backstage of Xinxin Hotel, you know that you are going to Qianshan to find someone."
"Don't talk about that, come with you." Gu Chen finished searching according to the traces.
"Do your best." Gu Chen was also sure whether he could find the other party's evacuation trace.
"Except for the few of us who have no serious suspicions, you temporarily think it's out of the ordinary."
"Brother Gu, he finally answered the phone?"
And the other party dared to turn on the weak light rashly.
The eight of them also knew how long they had walked, only to feel that the sun had stopped shining through the gaps in the woods and the fog was gradually dissipating.
"That's okay." Seeing that Gu Chen didn't seem to be in any trouble, Yuan Shasha on the other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and said:
After a pause, Police Officer Wang looked up at Gu Chen and Junior Brother Gu, and continued:
"That guy is a security figure, but at the very least, this guy is following you late at night, obviously knowing your movements."
"You believe that this guy is one of those people you have come into contact with now."
Therefore, in the process of walking, a relatively wide track trace will be formed.
Since the line of sight was blocked last night, the walking marks left by the other party were quite obvious.
And the other party also followed that trace, maybe they followed the footprints when they came, but when they advanced, because they dared to use excessive light to illuminate themselves, that caused a lot of traces that deviated from the footprints of Gu Chen's team.
Since the current walking traces are too obvious, it is not difficult for Gu Chen to find them, but in order to avoid getting lost along the way, Gu Chen still makes bad marks along the way.
"Besides, the specific situation in Qianshan is because you told you the specific way to go. You think, you should have lived the most before."
"But... scary?" Junior Brother Gu looked at the right and left, and asked with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter? Did you find the other party's trace?"
"Out there, this guy can see almost everything, but I was able to use that little tree as cover."
Due to the dark weather last night and the lack of fog, the visibility was extremely high.
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said with relief: "That guy is indeed a bad hand in terms of endurance."
Geng Shu missed the opportunity to chase down the suspicious person last night, so Gu Chen will miss that opportunity when the day comes.
Gu Chen hurriedly comforted, "What's the matter? It's not your side. During the investigation last night, something happened. It's okay now."
"The one-eyed owner of the slow food restaurant is not as young as Da Ge Zhang Da, Zhuang Ruo, who is my rival, and Zhuang Ruo's apprentice."
It wasn't until Gu Chen came to a small tree that he stopped involuntarily, and stopped looking around.
Just as Police Officer Wang was speaking, Gu Chen also took out his mobile phone.
Junior Brother Gu thought carefully for a while and was terrified: "Could it be that this guy was really standing eight meters away from you last night, and he moved for nearly an hour?"
"What? What are they talking about? Why did you almost call?" Yuan Shasha was suddenly confused by Geng Shuming's words, and it was easy to do.
"It seems that that guy is complicated." Hearing Junior Brother Gu's analysis, Police Officer Wang also said in fear a while ago:
"But is it?" Police Officer Wang didn't feel a little scared when he thought about it now, and he said for a reason:
"But in order to be discovered by you, that guy just stood there for an hour or so, until a small wind blew before Qi Zhou appeared, which caused the friction and movement of the surrounding weeds to decrease."
"What's wrong, Geng Shuming?" Seeing Gu Chen's relaxed expression, Junior Brother Gu hurriedly asked.
"What range can you see?" Junior Brother Gu didn't know much, but he continued to observe for seven weeks according to Gu Chen's prompt.
Therefore, the eight people continued to form a column formation before taking a short rest in place, and now followed Geng Shu to search all the way.
"Da Yuan, it's a good thing he hasn't been on the phone. He knows that last night, you guys were so dangerous that you almost had to call him."
"It's too scary." Gu Chen said.
Before the eight people discussed for a while, they took off their equipment and prepared to follow Gu Chen to find clues.
A moment ago, Junior Brother Gu's gaze stayed on a narrow area, and he was startled:
Gu Chen bypassed the backstage and looked at the man's legs. Seeing if there was any dirt under his feet, he touched the man's arm and woke you up: "Wake up."
"Otherwise, the eight of you will immediately reveal your whereabouts as soon as your mobile phones ring."
But without the experience of last night, Gu Chen didn't tie up the branches with vines, but directly took out the police dagger, and carved walking marks under the relevant branches.
"The specific situation, let's talk about it before you go back."
