One hundred secrets and one sparse, Xu Youzhi has completely panicked at this moment, he knows that he is totally vulnerable in front of Gu Chen.
Moreover, Gu Chen could clearly see his stupid behavior just now.
At this moment, no matter how you explain it, it will be useless.
Xu Youzhi took two steps back and said tremblingly, "I..."
"Yes, or not?" Gu Chen gave an option to choose between the two.
Xu Youzhi hesitated again and again, then sighed, he could only nod silently, and voluntarily admitted: "That's right, I and this group of people are indeed in the same group."
"That is to say, you and this Zou Xu are also in the same group?" Seeing that Xu Youzhi was still awake, at least he knew how to make a choice, so Gu Chen asked again.
Xu Youzhi continued to nod, and also slowly said: "That's right, this Zou Xu, I am indeed with him, and I know he is in the mountains."
"But why did you help me?" After confirming his guess, Gu Chen was also surprised by Xu Youzhi's behavior.
At least, when Zou Xu pushed himself to the edge of the cliff, he didn't sit idly by and instead attacked his accomplice with stones.
In this way, Xu Youzhi actually saved his own life, counting the time in the bamboo forest, Xu Youzhi had already saved his life twice.
Therefore, Gu Chen really didn't understand Xu Youzhi's actions.
At this moment, Xu Youzhi's legs also softened, and he knelt down in front of Gu Chen, with a helpless expression on his face, he said:
"Although I'm with them, I'm tired of this life too."
"It can be said that I don't want to mix with these people at all."
"But you told me before that there is no relationship between you and them."
"You even assisted the police in Haidong City to destroy this criminal gang in one fell swoop."
"You have done so many good things for the police, but why? Why are you entangled with this group of people again?"
"Me?" It seemed that Xu Youzhi was about to say something, but he stopped, and he froze in place.
Gu Chen asked him, "What do you want to say?"
"I...I..." Xu Youzhi stammered, but he was still unable to speak.
It seems that this problem has been hidden in his heart for a long time, like a knot, but it can't be solved.
Gu Chen stood in front of Xu Youzhi, looked down at the decadent Xu Youzhi, and continued:
"What the hell are you trying to say? Why are you staying with these people?"
"It's because of that incident back then." Xu Youzhi raised his head and said.
Gu Chen frowned: "Go on."
"Okay." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xu Youzhi nodded silently, sighed, and said helplessly:
"Speaking of it, it's nothing. Originally, I was helping the Haidong City police to destroy that criminal gang. That's what I told you later."
"I was protected by the police in Haidong City and arranged to work in other places. After a few years, I returned to Haidong City and came to Hushan Town to start a business of scrap purchases."
"Originally, I thought that after I got rid of the group of people before, my life would become peaceful, but it was not until Zou Xu found me."
"Zou Xu?" Hearing Xu Youzhi's words, Gu Chen subconsciously glanced at Zou Xu who fell to the ground.
Xu Youzhi nodded silently: "That's right, it was Zou Xu. He came to me and told me what happened back then. In fact, the big brothers all know that there must be an internal problem, there must be an inner ghost."
"But in the past few years, only my whereabouts have been particularly strange. Later, they investigated me privately and found that I had close contacts with the Haidong City police in the period before the incident."
"And after the incident, I disappeared from then on, so they thought that I was the ghost."
After a pause, Xu Youzhi covered his face with his hands, and said with a sigh:
"I just wanted to live a stable life, and I didn't want to be involved with these people."
"But they told me that they don't need to pursue the past. In fact, they are not sure whether the ghost is me or not?"
"So, they told me that if there is a need for me, I hope that I can help, and it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of those big brothers back then."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Xu Youzhi said again: "So, there will be these things after that."
"Just a while ago, I suddenly received a call from Zou Xu, because Zou Xu usually works in the factory in Hushan Town, so he is the closest to me, so he entrusted me with the things that need my help. "
"It includes the monitoring of the supermarket at the intersection of Hushan Town, right?" Gu Chen asked him.
Xu Youzhi didn't deny it, he just nodded and admitted: "That's right, I was instructed by them to do that matter."
"Because I know, if I don't do it, what will they do to me? These people are ruthless."
"In the end, Zou Xu took the initiative to find me and told me that Hu Peng would show up in Hushan Town, and asked me to assist him to arrange for Hu Peng's car to be parked at my waste collection station."
"Afterwards, Zou Xu will follow Hu Peng and enter the forest. In fact, all of this is under their control."
"Wait a minute." Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly hesitated, and then asked Xu Youzhi:
"You mean, the previous arrangements were all made by this gang, so they must know that Hu Peng will come to Hushan Town, right?"
"Yes." Facing Gu Chen's question, Xu Youzhi did not deny it.
So Gu Chen asked again: "Does Hu Peng know about this?"
"Hu Peng doesn't know." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Xu Youzhi shook his head and denied:
"Hu Peng didn't know it from the beginning to the end. Because he knew Hu Peng, he parked his car at my waste collection station. He told me that he was going to hide in the mountains."
"Because someone is going to make trouble for him now, he has to hide. Moreover, hiding in the mountains, in comparison, the safety factor will be very high."
"I asked him the specific itinerary, and he said that after entering the mountain, we will continue walking in the direction of Haibei City."
"In this way, we can get rid of the troubles in Haidong City."
"So, you turned around and told Zou Xu about this, and the gang behind Zou Xu, right?" Gu Chen asked.
Xu Youzhi coughed and nodded silently: "That's right, I was the one who told them about Hu Peng's whereabouts."
"That's why they sent Zou Xu into the mountain, with the purpose of getting rid of Hu Peng in the mountain."
"Because Hu Peng may be a threat to these people now, and it seems that he has mastered their secret situation."
"Then what is this secret situation?" Gu Chen was also curious about this secret while recording it.
But Xu Youzhi shook his head, denied it and said: "This, I really don't know."
"They won't tell outsiders this kind of secret. I guess Hu Peng made a mistake and already knew the criminal evidence of this group of people."
"So, they needed to retaliate against Hu Peng, so they chased him all the way, and even sent the killer Zou Xu."
With a faint sigh, Xu Youzhi also looked at Gu Chen and said, "Officer Gu, what I said is true."
"As for this Zou Xu, I don't know if he met Hu Peng in this mountain forest."
"But from the current point of view, just as you said, there is blood on Zou Xu's trekking pole."
"And these bloodstains are very likely to belong to Hu Peng, which shows that Hu Peng is in danger now."
"As you guessed, Zou Xu has actually been walking in the forest for a long time. He may have followed Hu Peng's trail and killed Hu Peng."
"So, it may be that after dealing with Hu Peng's body, he rushed back, but happened to meet us."
Looking up at Gu Chen, Xu Youzhi also said with emotion: "But I didn't expect that you would notice all those little details of him."
Shaking his head, Xu Youzhi couldn't believe it: "It seems that you are a master of reasoning. You can guess your current situation just by checking Zou Xu's materials. I really admire you."
"As for, why did I save you? And save you twice? Maybe it's because of my conscience?"
"I know that I'm not bad in my heart, I'm just being manipulated by others, and I have to do it as a last resort."
"But I promise, I really want to help you, I don't want you to be hurt, that's all."
Xu Youzhi seems to be full of grievances and needs someone to confide in, so when Gu Chen exposes Xu Youzhi's lies, Xu Youzhi seems to accept it readily.
Gu Chen nodded repeatedly after listening, and said involuntarily: "Since you want to be a good person as you said, I can give you a chance."
"After all, Hu Peng's body has not been found yet. What we need to do most now is to explain Hu Peng's whereabouts after Zou Xu wakes up."
After the order was issued here, Gu Chen suddenly noticed that a group of figures suddenly appeared on the opposite hill.
When Gu Chen looked into the distance again, he found that this was the second and third teams that were already far behind.
The two teams unexpectedly merged together, and everyone was holding trekking poles, preparing to come to their own location.
When Xu Youzhi saw this situation, he became even more flustered, and quickly prayed to Gu Chen:
"Comrade police officer, Officer Gu, I really have no malicious intentions, they forced me to do this."
"And, along the way, I didn't hurt anyone, I..."
In the end, Xu Youzhi's nose was sore, he could only cover his face with his right hand, and turned around, as if he didn't want Gu Chen to see his depressed appearance.
Gu Chen can also understand Xu Youzhi's difficulties in doing so, but after all, Xu Youzhi's heart is not bad, this is a fact.
Although I had many bad doubts about Xu Youzhi, and at the last moment, I also had conflicts with Xu Youzhi's behavior.
Gu Chen thinks that although Xu Youzhi is suspicious, at least he is open and aboveboard to himself.
But until he discovered that Xu Youzhi was actually behind his back, trying to use the trekking pole in his hand to complete a fatal blow to himself.
Fortunately, Gu Chen found out in time, otherwise, he might be like Zou Xu who fell to the ground, at the mercy of others.
In the end, Xu Youzhi also covered his face with his hands, and said with a face of shame: "I really don't mean anything malicious, I want to end all of this."
"Okay, I'll give you this chance." Seeing that Xu Youzhi wanted to repent, Gu Chen didn't make things difficult for him.
So the two sat by the rock, quietly waiting for Zou Xu's recovery and the arrival of his teammates.
I don't know how long it took for the follow-up troops to cross over to the mountain where Gu Chen is located.
The moment she saw Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei stepped forward with sweat on her face and said, "Junior Brother Gu, I finally caught up with you, you don't know, our night was really painful..."
Here, Lu Weiwei also wanted to give Gu Chen a brief report on her situation yesterday.
But soon, Lu Weiwei discovered that there was a man lying beside Gu Chen, and the man's hands were handcuffed.
And the man's head at this moment was also wrapped with a sterile bandage.
Obviously, there had been a fight here, and Lu Weiwei could guess a thing or two by looking at the scene.
"Senior Brother Gu, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that the scene was a bit weird, Yuan Shasha also walked up to Gu Chen, wanting to ask what happened.
But Gu Chen shook his head and said, "It's okay, just make a gesture with this person, he has seen Hu Peng."
"He has seen Hu Peng?" Zou Xu, who was lying on the ground in a state of unconsciousness, had seen Hu Peng in the forest.
But now, Zou Xu fell on the ground with his hands still in handcuffs. Officer Wang couldn't help but shook his head and said:
"Something's wrong, this person has seen Hu Peng, you handcuff him now, could it be..."
"That's right." Before Police Officer Wang could finish speaking, Gu Chen also nodded and admitted:
"This man is a member of that gang. I found that there was blood on his trekking pole."
"And, he himself admitted that he met Hu Peng in the mountains."
"And, he may have settled Hu Peng in this forest."
"Oh my god, is it true or not?" Hearing Gu Chen's explanation, the police officer Xiaoxuan who climbed up afterward also slammed his mouth and said:
"So, this person is a killer? Besides, he has already succeeded?"
"I don't know." Gu Chen shook his head and continued:
"Because during the fight with him just now, he was forced to the cliff with a sharp blade."
Glancing at Xu Youzhi beside him, Gu Chen said again: "Fortunately, at the critical moment, Lao Xu knocked Zou Xu unconscious with a stone, and I was out of danger."
"So you Gu Chen encountered this kind of thing in this place?" Hearing Gu Chen's narration, Lao Zhang was immediately interested.
Lu Weiwei quickly looked in Xu Youzhi's direction, and said gratefully, "Old Xu, thank you for saving me, Junior Brother Gu, you are awesome."
"Ashamed, ashamed." Faced with Lu Weiwei's compliment, Xu Youzhi suddenly felt flustered.
And here, before everyone can thank Xu Youzhi for his help, Gu Chen directly said:
"Actually, Xu Youzhi and this Zou Xu, both of them, are part of that team, they are all in the same group."
"A group?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei immediately widened her eyes and said:
"That is to say, what happened here just now, both Xu Youzhi and this man targeted you, didn't they? Junior Brother Gu?"
Fearing that Gu Chen would be in danger, Lu Weiwei walked over to Gu Chen's side and carefully examined Gu Chen's wounds.
