I am a super cop

Chapter 1496 The Disappearing Minotaur
Everyone took kayaks and gradually approached the old man.

But after a while, when everyone came to the old house, no matter how they shouted, the old man on the roof did not respond.

At this moment, the flood has submerged the old house, and the gate is also soaked in the flood.

It seems impossible to enter the house to save people.

Everyone was very anxious, but now it seemed that the only way to save the old man was to rely on the help of ropes.

"Old man, are you still there? Can you hear a reply?" Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei called loudly, but they didn't get any response.

Lu Weiwei was also anxious immediately: "What's the matter with this old man? We braved the storm and the danger of falling into the flood at any time to rescue him, and he just doesn't answer?"

"Maybe the noise is too loud." Gu Chen glanced at another kayak beside him, and said to one of the police cadets holding a loudspeaker: "Drive the kayak farther away, He shouted."

"Okay, Team Gu." The young police officer obeyed, and together with his companions, gradually moved the kayak away from the edge of the house.

But when everyone came to the viewing angle again, the old man who had appeared on the roof before disappeared instantly.

"what happened?"

"The man is missing?"

"Weren't you still here just now?"

"What the hell? Was there no one on the roof just now?"

"No, everyone saw it just now."

……

Gu Chen also heard everyone talking there, out of curiosity, he asked: "Did you see it?"

Several student policemen hesitated for a moment, and the student policeman with a loudspeaker said in confusion, "Captain Gu, there is no one on the roof."

"No one?" Gu Chen frowned: "Impossible, everyone saw it just now, wearing a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, how could there be no one? Take a closer look."

"If you look carefully, there's no one there." The student policeman raised his head and watched helplessly.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

Do you feel like something is wrong?
Gu Chen didn't think too much about it, and directly controlled the kayak to a visible range.

But when Gu Chen looked at the roof again, there was no one in the direction of the roof.

"Did it fall into the water?" Gu Chen's face froze, and he quickly ordered: "Everyone look around the old house to see if anyone fell into the water."

"Okay." Everyone received the order and quickly launched a search operation.

Several kayaks froze around the old house and searched back and forth three times.

Then, according to the current situation, the investigation was carried out in the downstream direction, but no trace was found.

When everyone drove the kayak to this place again, Gu Chen frowned and stretched out his hand directly: "Help me get the rope here."

"Junior Brother Gu, what are you doing?" Lu Weiwei immediately became nervous when she heard this.

Gu Chen said: "I want to climb up to see the situation and see if the old man is still on it."

"But this old house doesn't look solid." Lu Weiwei still wanted to stop Gu Chen.

Since this is an old house, the roof structure still maintains the old charm and is made of colorful tiles.

Gu Chen wanted to climb up to find out what happened, but Lu Weiwei was worried that Gu Chen would be hurt by stepping on the air and falling.

But he couldn't find the old man, Gu Chen couldn't let go, and replied directly: "My climbing level, when I was in the police academy, my grades were always the first in the school, so don't worry about that."

Seeing that Lu Weiwei was still holding the rope and refused to let go, Gu Chen just smiled lightly and pulled it over.

Then use the slipknot lock to expand the ring opening.

Due to the rising water, in fact, everyone is not very far from the roof.

With just an easy throw, Gu Chen wrapped the slipknot rope around a corner of the old house.

Pulling the rope, Gu Chen predicted the bearing capacity of the house, and with the help of the wall of the old house, he quickly climbed up with one leg, and quickly kicked off the rubble of the eaves with his legs.

Due to the impact of gravity, several pieces of rubble instantly fell off and fell into the water.

"Junior Brother Gu, be careful." Lu Weiwei called out nervously.

Everyone tensed up.

But Gu Chen dexterously climbed to the roof in an instant, and everyone was overjoyed.

"Gu Dui is worthy of being a climbing master."

"Yeah, you can climb up from such an angle, bull."

"If I'm sure I won't be able to go up."

Everyone's flattery continued, but Gu Chen didn't take it to heart.

The first time he came to the roof, he walked cautiously towards the direction where the old man was sitting cross-legged just now.

But when Gu Chen came to the roof just now, there was no sign of the old man around, not even the coir raincoat and bamboo hat.

"Where did the person go?" Gu Chen looked around, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.

The torrential rain continued, and the strong wind continued to rage.

At this moment, Gu Chen didn't care too much, and began to look for clues on the top of the house.

It can be seen from the roof of this old house that it is surrounded by big water.

If the old man did not fall into the water, he must have stayed in the old house.

But if the old man accidentally falls into the water, the old man will also float on top of the current.

But just now, it took just a dozen seconds for everyone to discover the old man and the old man disappeared.

And everyone launched a detailed search of the surrounding area, but no trace of the old man was found.

Therefore, Gu Chen concluded that the old man should still be in the old house.

"But how did he get to the roof?" Gu Chen thought for a while, not quite understanding.

But when Gu Chen was looking for clues, he discovered that there was a skylight on the roof of the old house.

Gu Chen walked in the direction of the skylight, opened the skylight, and found that the bottom of the skylight happened to be an attic structure, but there was no climbing ladder.

Gu Chen didn't think much about it, and lay directly on the skylight window, put his head into the attic, and shouted loudly: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone in there? We are from the rescue team of Furong Branch. If there is anyone, please reply?"

After the words fell, Gu Chen pricked up his ears and listened quietly.

There was a lot of noise due to the storm outside.

And if you shout outside, it may be difficult for people inside to hear you.

But Gu Chen chose to stick his head into the attic and shout, but there was still no response from the room.

"Strange, is there really no one?" Gu Chen lay behind the skylight, hesitating for a moment.

He turned on the flashlight of his FAST tactical helmet and searched the house for a while.

Although the attic is dimly lit, Gu Chen can still see everything clearly with the help of a tactical flashlight, but there seems to be no trace at all.

"It's strange. Could it be that what everyone saw just now was a hallucination?" Thinking that there was no one inside or outside the house, Gu Chen felt a sense of loss.

You know, an old man in need of rescue has just been discovered, but the man suddenly disappeared.

Feeling frustrated at the first step of rescue.

Gu Chen felt a little lost, but he didn't give up.

At this moment, colleagues began to shout outside.

Gu Chen poked his head out, and moved carefully to the edge of the roof.

"Junior Brother Gu, how is it? Have you found that old man?" Lu Weiwei's pretty face was constantly drenched by the heavy rain, but she still raised her head and shouted.

Gu Chen shook his head and responded: "I didn't find any trace of the old man, but there is a skylight on the roof, and there is an attic below. I want to go in and have a look, but the rope is not long enough, help me to connect another one."

"Then you pay attention to safety." Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, seeing the current storm, the kayak was also precarious in the water.

But Gu Chen still didn't find any trace of the old man.

Everyone is in anxiety.

A student police officer took out the rope and fastened it to the rope that Gu Chen climbed before, then waved to Gu Chen and said, "Captain Gu, the rope has been fastened for you."

"Okay." Gu Chen pulled the rope that he came up, pulled it up, and then pulled the rope towards the skylight.

Throw the end of the rope directly down the skylight.

The rope stopped instantly at a distance of one meter from the floor of the attic.

This is enough for Gu Chen.

Gu Chen pulled the rope, confirmed the pulling force, and then slowly climbed to the attic along the rope.

The moment it landed, I suddenly felt the smell of the attic.

At this moment, a musty smell hits the face.

Gu Chen fanned it with his hands, then put on his mask, and began to use the tactical flashlight on the FAST tactical helmet to search the attic.

However, apart from some sundries piled up in the attic, nothing unusual was found.

Gu Chen came to the edge of the attic. There was a wooden staircase that could lead directly to the downstairs.

But at this moment, the location on the first floor has long been submerged by the flood.

All kinds of tableware are also floating in it, and it is almost impossible for people to go down.

Gu Chen stood at the intersection of the wooden stairs and the flood, and kept shouting into the house: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone else in the house?"

After the voice fell, except for the sound of rain outside the house, Gu Chen could hardly hear any movement.

"What's going on? Where did this person go?" The scene felt a little weird.

Obviously, the old man he saw just now disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gu Chen felt very suspicious.

But in order to make sure that there was really no one in the room, Gu Chen didn't care too much, and jumped into the water on the first floor, and started to swim to all the rooms.

But to Gu Chen's dismay, after checking all the rooms, Gu Chen was basically sure that there was no one living in the house at all, and there was no trace of the old man at all.

With doubts, Gu Chen didn't go out through the gate, but walked up to the roof directly along the attic that he climbed in just now.

After closing the sunroof, return to the kayak along the rope just tied.

Lu Weiwei, who was next to Gu Chen, also hurriedly asked: "Junior Brother Gu, what's going on inside? Look at you, your whole body is soaked."

"I went into the house and searched just now." Gu Chen took off his shoes, poured out the accumulated water in the shoes, and said involuntarily: "But the strange thing is that there is no trace of the old man inside, this person seems to have disappeared out of thin air .”

"Disappeared out of thin air?"

Everyone looked at each other and felt a little strange.

The old man who everyone has seen obviously disappeared out of thin air?

What's more, Gu Chen went into the house and searched, but he didn't find the old man.

Especially around the house just now, everyone has also searched, and they did not find any trace of the old man falling into the water.

All kinds of things make everyone feel incredible.

"Hi! Can you take me out? Look here..."

While everyone was hesitating, a middle-aged man was standing on the top floor of another building, waving his arms at everyone.

Gu Chen didn't think too much, and directly directed everyone: "Go and have a look."

At this moment, everyone drove the kayaks and slowly approached the building where the man was.

The man went straight down from the top floor to the second floor, and also lay on the balcony watching everyone.

"What's your situation? Why haven't you moved yet?" Lu Weiwei looked at the man up and down, and said involuntarily.

The man frowned, and said helplessly, "I didn't expect that the upstream reservoir would open the gates to release the flood, and the water would rise so quickly."

"The people from the Blue Sky Rescue Team were hoarse yesterday, and they asked you to transfer all of them, but you just didn't listen. Now you know how to call for help?"

A student policeman also directly repeated the complaint of the Blue Sky Rescue Team member just now.

The middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, but he said earnestly: "I don't want to part with these things in my house. I moved them suddenly and were not allowed to bring them. I have to move all these valuable things to a higher position, right?"

"But this time and again, the transfer time was delayed. When I came out again, I found that the rescue team had already left."

"Now the communication equipment here has also been damaged, and my mobile phone is out of battery, so I have been stuck here all the time. I think your rescue team should come to inspect again. I didn't expect to meet you just in time."

Heaving a sigh of relief, the middle-aged man also said with relief: "It seems that God has manifested himself."

"We are not God, we are the people's police." Gu Chen looked behind the man and asked, "Do you have anything to bring?"

"Yes." The middle-aged man flicked his fingers, and directly began to hand out the big and small bags he had prepared to everyone.

Everyone also helped together and put the man's belongings into the kayak.

But the man threw more than 10 large and small packages over in one breath.

Lu Weiwei complained a little: "This is just for you to transfer, not for you to move. What are you doing with so many things?"

"Who knows if this house will be washed away. If it is washed away by water, all my things will be gone."

After the man threw the last package into the kayak, he also looked disappointed.

Gu Chen understood the man's mood at the moment.

The floods submerged their homes, and they couldn't take all their belongings away.

In this case, if you can take some things away, you will naturally take some away.

But from the perspective of rescue, it is not advisable for the man to take up the kayaking space that everyone is already nervous about.

But now there are no other people who need to be rescued, so Gu Chen doesn't care too much.

"Be careful." Gu Chen supported the man, and carefully rescued him from the edge of the balcony onto the kayak.

The middle-aged man was also lying on the kayak, heaved a long breath and said, "I'm finally saved."

"That's right." Gu Chen looked at the old house just now, and asked the man directly, "Do you know who lives in that old house?"

"Which old house?" The man raised his head, also curious.

"That's the one, that tile-roofed house." Lu Weiwei pointed to the direction everyone was searching for just now.

The man sat up, turned his head to look, and immediately chuckled: "That? That's where an old man in the village lives."

"Then where is the old man now?" Gu Chen hurriedly asked.

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and said, "How would I know? Should I be picked up by the rescue team in advance?"

"No." A student police officer retorted: "When we came over just now, we found that old man wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, sitting on the roof."

"Ah? Is that so? Then he didn't leave, right?" The middle-aged man said after hearing this.

"But when we got closer to search, he disappeared again." Lu Weiwei quickly added.

The middle-aged man was stunned again: "No one? Then did you see clearly?"

"I must be able to see clearly. With so many eyes, can I not see clearly?" Lu Weiwei also had a firm attitude and argued hard.

The middle-aged man nodded silently: "Then if you see him staying on the roof, but you can't see him when you approach him, could it be that he fell into the water?"

"Well, that's what we thought at first." Lu Weiwei crossed her arms and said helplessly, "But when we searched around, we didn't find any trace of the old man. It doesn't feel like he fell into the water. look."

"And it will float when it falls into the water, and it will struggle a few times, but we didn't see it."

"It's strange." Hearing Lu Weiwei's explanation here, the middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then did you go into the house to have a look?"

"Yes." Gu Chen heard the words, and replied directly: "I climbed up from the roof, and then climbed in through the attic with the skylight. I searched all the rooms inside, and found no trace of the old man."

"That's strange." The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head, and said with a puzzled expression: "Could it be that people were really washed away by the flood? Maybe it happened to be in your blind spot, and you didn't notice it?"

Hearing what the middle-aged man said, everyone seemed to feel that it made sense.

If this is the case, the old man has obviously been washed away by the flood.

But Gu Chen directly denied it: "The houses here are intricate and complicated. Even if the old man is washed away, he should be able to catch some objects."

"And the current here is not urgent, these conditions can be realized, but we searched outside several times, but did not find any trace."

"That's weird, I don't know what's going on." The middle-aged man scratched the back of his head, feeling a little unexplainable.

Thinking that we need to rush to rescue now, it is not good for everyone to continue to waste time here.

Gu Chen directly ordered: "Why don't you send him to the resettlement site first, and then we'll go down and search to see if we can find someone."

"Okay." The two student policemen on the other kayak also directly agreed.

Then, everyone drove the kayaks and drove separately outside the house.

Gu Chen took the rest of the staff and continued to search around the village.

I always feel that the disappearance of the old man is a bit strange, but Gu Chen can't say why for a while.
