"Lu Weiwei, didn't I tell you to stay outside to see if Hu Mengyao came back? Why did you come here?"

"Old Wang, don't worry, let's see who is behind me?" Lu Weiwei calmly stepped aside and waved to the door: "Come in."

Then Bai Xiaolan walked in with the microphone...

"Uh, I'm not talking about you, Reporter Bai, please let me go." Lu Weiwei was a little embarrassed, and continued to wave: "Come in."

At this time, a tall girl with short hair and wearing a crew vest walked in. After looking around, her eyes quickly settled on Gu Chen.

"You guys are looking for me?" the girl asked.

Officer Wang and Gu Chen looked at each other, feeling that the girl in front of them was obviously much more mature than Hu Mengyao in school uniform in the photo.

But regardless of facial features or appearance, Gu Chen can be sure that the one standing in front of him is the girl who failed the ranking that Wu Qi has been looking for, Hu Mengyao.

"You are Hu Mengyao?" Gu Chen asked.

The girl tossed her short hair and said, "Actually, I've been in the south for a long time. Everyone likes to call me Ayao according to the southern habit. The name Hu Mengyao is rarely mentioned, and few people know about it."

Officer Wang was still very vigilant: "Are you really Hu Mengyao from Jiangbei? Do you know that people in Jiangnan City are looking for you?"

Hu Mengyao shrugged, put her hands in her pockets, took a deep breath, and said, "I've seen the missing persons notice on that official account, in fact... I've forgiven that teacher a long time ago, and I did something very wrong myself. , it was just that my father passed away at the time, and I was in a terrible mood, so I put a small note under the test paper."

The old village chief actually knew what the purpose of the police coming here...

Seeing that both parties had already seen the above, he lowered his chin at several other village elders and signaled everyone to leave quietly.

Photographer Wu Jun pointed the camera at Hu Mengyao, and Bai Xiaolan immediately started working.

"Hu Mengyao, I'm Bai Xiaolan, a reporter from Jiangnan TV Station. I'm very happy to meet you in Xinghua Village, Panlong Town. Did you mean to forgive Wu Qi who looked for you just now?"

"Of course it's serious." Hu Mengyao didn't feel stage-frightened at all when facing the camera, instead she showed a hint of a smile.

This has something to do with Hu Mengyao's long working hours in the crew...

"He is not wrong at all. He is just fulfilling the responsibility of an invigilator. I think those who slandered him are too much. I want to say sorry to him here."

Bai Xiaolan was very excited, this result was big news, she hurriedly said again: "Then what are your plans in the future? Will you go to the hospital to see him?"

"That's for sure." Hu Mengyao smiled: "After the work here is over, I will personally bring the fruit to see him..."

Several people conducted in-depth interviews in the village committee, which met the previous expectations.

At the end of the interview, Hu Mengyao even introduced some anecdotes about her work in Jiangnan City to several people, and had a pleasant chat.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Hu Mengyao said goodbye to several people one by one, and returned to the dormitory arranged by the crew.

"Reporter Bai, your work is over, you can return to Jiangnan City as soon as possible tomorrow." Gu Chen also reminded.

"Don't." Bai Xiaolan said with a reluctant expression, "Hu Mengyao's matter has been resolved, but you haven't resolved the matter in the village yet."

Police Officer Wang was under some pressure: "The situation here still needs to be investigated. I'm afraid you will be in danger if you stay here. Who knows if that psychopath will reappear?"

In fact, Officer Wang said this because he also considered the complexity of handling the case.

In addition to the villagers, there are crew members here, and the relationship between personnel is very complicated.

In this case, it is inevitable that there will be some hands and feet in handling the case.

Photographer Wu Jun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Police Officer Wang, we won't cause trouble for you. If you catch the murderer who hurt someone, wouldn't we add another new material? It's not a waste of time." "

"Teacher Wu is right." Bai Xiaolan looked at Police Officer Wang expectantly: "Officer Wang, what do you think?"

Officer Wang thought it was impossible to let these people go back first: "Okay, but pay attention to safety, especially at night, and don't go to places with few people."

"you mean?"

"It's the grove near the village. According to the old village chief here, the man in black wounded people twice in the grove, and he fled the scene so fast that ordinary people couldn't keep up with him."

Gu Chen took Officer Wang's words and continued: "I heard from them that the injured are all villagers of Xinghua Village, but it is possible to attack other people. You'd better think about it clearly."

"But the murderer doesn't seem to know that someone from the police is in Xinghua Village this time, so he might restrain himself because of his recklessness. It will definitely be very difficult for you to find that person." Bai Xiaolan said truthfully.

Officer Wang was stopped by the question, but he didn't take it seriously. He picked up a glass of water on the table and drank a couple of sips, saying: "Whether the murderer appears or not, our police will definitely investigate to the end. This incident is too bad and affects No, if the murderer is not caught, it will be difficult to give everyone an explanation, so he must be found."

"Then you will continue to stay in Xinghua Village?" Bai Xiaolan repeated.

Lu Weiwei turned her head to look at Bai Xiaolan's expectant eyes, and said involuntarily, "Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm afraid I won't come to Xinghua Village. Since I'm here, why don't I bring some news back?" Feeling alone, Bai Xiaolan turned to look at Wu Jun beside her: "Right, Teacher Wu?"

Wu Jun's expression changed abruptly, and he reacted from the conversation just now, and hurriedly said: "That's for sure, it seems that you and the police have encountered quite a lot of trouble this time."

Why would Wu Jun say that?
The people who came to participate in the filming of the program this time are all the successors of some family businesses across the country...

If this matter is not handled properly, it is very likely that the reputation of the Jiangnan Police Force will collapse.

Moreover, there is also a co-production unit of Jiangnan TV Station in the crew, which is tantamount to handling the case in front of the media.

Any omissions may have a serious negative impact on the Furong Police Station.

Wu Jun has long seen which is more important, and he also knows the pressure in Police Officer Wang's heart.

Officer Wang and Gu Chen looked at each other, both of them had flat expressions.

After all, this is not the first time the two have met in such an unexpected situation.

Since someone is doing things under the nose, it is necessary to show the other party some color.

……

……

Ten p.m.

We drove to Panlong Town.

Instead of staying in the dormitory that Xu Lang prepared for everyone, he went directly to Panlong Town Central Hospital.

Then I found Liu Xiaobao, a villager who was injured tonight, to check his specific injuries.

For the matter of investigation and evidence collection, first-hand accurate information can only be obtained from the mouths of the parties concerned.

After Liu Xiaobao had the wound sutured, he was taken to the ward. The anesthetic hadn't worn off yet, so Liu Xiaobao didn't feel any pain.

Several of Liu Xiaobao's family members were accompanying him, and when they saw the police approaching, they also consciously gave way to a passage.

"How is Liu Xiaobao's condition?" Officer Wang stepped forward first to ask about the situation.

"Comrade policeman, there is nothing serious at present, but the wound is also very deep, and he may not be able to get out of bed within half a month."

Liu Xiaobao's mother who spoke had red eyes and felt extremely wronged.

"I knew that I would be attacked if I went to the forest. I would rather not make money as a guide. Now people are injured, and there is no trace of the murderer." Father Liu said here, and heaved a long sigh.

"Mr. Liu, don't worry about this, we will definitely find the murderer and give your son an explanation." Gu Chen glanced at Liu Xiaobao, and continued: "If he has no problems at present, we have some situations that we would like to know about with him. .”

"As long as you can find the murderer, you can ask." Father Liu frowned, stood up, and made room for Gu Chen.

Gu Chen turned on the law enforcement recorder hanging on the shoulder strap, walked up to Liu Xiaobao and said, "Hello, Mr. Liu, I'm Gu Chen, a police officer from the Criminal Investigation Team [-] of the Furong Police Station. Can I ask you a few questions?"

"Yes." Liu Xiaobao couldn't move, he could only blink slightly to express his agreement.

"You were filming with the film crew, right?" Gu Chen picked up the notebook and began to write.

"Yes, the crew was going to shoot in the hinterland of the forest, because the scenery there is particularly beautiful, and there is an orchard passing through the forest. They asked me to be a guide to lead the way and help with equipment by the way."

"Did you meet any strangers on the road?" Seeing Liu Xiaobao's unresponsiveness, Gu Chen asked again: "Is there any suspicious person following you?"

"No...no." Liu Xiaobao shook his head, paused, and then changed his words: "I don't know. At that time, I felt that it was interesting for a rich man to carry farm tools to work in the orchard. His attention was all on that big man. On Fu Hao, the crew and photographers accompanying the group, everyone can’t talk when shooting, and they only ask questions when interviewing Fu Hao’s experience.”

"What about when you come back? Can you tell me in detail how you were attacked?" Gu Chen continued to raise his head and asked him.

"It was already dark at the time, and we all had flashlights ready. On the way back, I was in a hurry to urinate. Considering that there would be women in the team, I left the team and went to a big tree not far away alone. Relieve, but when I was about to catch up with the team, a black figure suddenly jumped out from beside me."

Thinking of this, Liu Xiaobao shrank his neck in horror.

"What happened next?" Gu Chen asked.

"Later? Then he rushed over, the knife in his hand was unpredictable, and he stabbed me directly, er, no, he didn't stab it, he slashed it, and wherever the blade went, it was as fast as lightning, and I Before he had time to react, he had cut five or six places on his body."

"Is this guy a martial artist? So fast?" Lu Weiwei couldn't believe it.

"It must be very powerful." Liu Xiaobao also tried his best to open his eyes wide, and said: "I felt like I was going to die in the forest, so I yelled desperately and dodged quickly. If the film crew didn't hear the call, Get here in time, and I might really be finished."

"Then have you offended anyone recently?" Gu Chen didn't change his calm style because of Liu Xiaobao's affectionate narration.

"This... Really not, I swear, I'm an honest man." Liu Xiaobao lowered his head, his voice as low as possible.

You may not even believe it yourself...

Lu Weiwei followed Liu Xiaobao's gaze to look at his parents.

The two were probably afraid that the police would not believe it. Liu's father responded immediately: "It's true. My Xiaobao has always been honest. He is only bullied by others outside. I have never seen him bully others, let alone offend others. gone."

"Okay, I understand." Gu Chen wrote quickly with the pen in his hand.

Like the second child of the Liu family who was injured last time, Liu Xiaobao did not offend anyone.

"Could it be that the murderer committed the crime randomly?" Gu Chen couldn't help asking himself.

If it is a random crime, it is more terrifying than a purposeful crime.

The murderer had no target and could attack anyone in the village.

And judging from what Liu Xiaobao said, he described the murderer who attacked him as a martial arts master.

Although I don't know if there is any exaggeration here...

But being able to cause great harm to Liu Xiaobao in a very short period of time, and to be able to get out of his body quickly, is not like what the village chief and a few old people in the village said, it is a mental illness.

After collecting Liu Xiaobao's clues, Gu Chen and Police Officer Wang gave him a few words of comfort, and then returned to the police dormitory room in Panlong Town.

This is actually a private house. Since there are not many police officers in Panlong Town, it is usually used to store some sundries and receive some police officers who come to practice.

But most of the time it is still vacant.

Although the room is not big, the items are very complete.

Gu Chen and Officer Wang live on the second floor, while Lu Weiwei and Bai Xiaolan live on the third floor.

twelve o'clock in the evening.

There are not many pedestrians on the streets of Panlong Town...

Officer Wang gradually fell asleep, while Gu Chen turned on the desk lamp and silently closed his eyes.

Soon, there was a whirl in his mind, and Gu Chen used his entry-level imagination to construct a virtual scene in his mind.

At this moment, Gu Chen has come to a dark forest.

"It's almost time for Liu Xiaobao to be attacked." Gu Chen looked down at his watch to calculate the time.

Move forward the time when Liu Xiaobao was attacked.

At this moment, the film crew in the distance, a total of five people, lined up.

Liu Xiaobao led the way ahead, talking and laughing with the crew.

This journey was photographed before going to the orchard, so now everyone is eager to return, and they all want to go back to Xinghua Village for dinner earlier.

Especially Liu Xiaobao, who has been so greedy for the crew's food these days, he hopes that he can grow a pair of wings and fly back as soon as possible.

But at this moment, in the dark forest, a masked man in black was leaning against a big tree, with his eyes closed, quietly waiting for the team to pass by.

When several flashlights swept past him, the man in black remained unmoved, completely letting himself blend into the dark forest.

The sound... getting closer, closer.

The man in black suddenly squatted down, turned his head and glanced back at the camera crew who walked in.

At this time, Liu Xiaobao suddenly pointed to the road ahead with the camera crew behind him, and after a few brief explanations, he looked around at the surrounding environment, and came under a big tree behind a big rock.

What Liu Xiaobao didn't know was that the man in black... was approaching quietly from another big tree at this moment.

Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and the scene suddenly stopped at this moment.

A light hit Liu Xiaobao and the man in black.

Gu Chen hurriedly took a closer look. Behind Liu Xiaobao, the man in black only showed a pair of hideous eyes and held a sharp knife.

The knife was sharpened by him, and the moonlight shone on the blade, giving off a cold light.

"Judging from the wound, the murder weapon is indeed very sharp, which shows how ferocious the murderer is." Gu Chen held his chin and thought for a few seconds before snapping his fingers again.

At this moment, the lights were still shining on the two of them, and the frozen frame was suddenly unlocked.

Liu Xiaobao noticed the sound of hurried footsteps coming from behind him, and after turning around, he encountered a quick attack from the murderer.

And the scene after that is also as explained by Liu Xiaobao.

Liu Xiaobao was stabbed several times, fell to the ground and shouted for help.

At this time, the film crew rushed over quickly.

The murderer retracted the knife, turned around, and quickly disappeared into the dark forest.

The crew members who rushed over were also terrified by the scene, so two photographers picked up the injured Liu Xiaobao and quickly evacuated towards Xinghua Village.

Gu Chen snapped his fingers again, the lights went out, Gu Chen returned to the real world, and slowly opened his eyes.

"The murderer really did it randomly." Gu Chen frowned, "If Liu Xiaobao hadn't been singled out at the time, he wouldn't have been the target of the murderer's attack. From this point of view, the situation is indeed more complicated than imagined. "

Thinking of this, Gu Chen opened the phone map and checked the topographical division near Xinghua Village.

"There are no other villages around the forest, and it is close to Xinghua Village. If the murderer can quickly evacuate in a very short time, it means that he is really familiar with the surrounding terrain, and the only possible destination must be Xinghua Village, isn't it? ..."

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment: "Could it be that the murderer is in Xinghua Village?"

The sudden idea made Gu Chen feel terrified when he thought about it carefully. When he thought that the man in black might be hiding in Xinghua Village, Gu Chen had countless thoughts.

You know, Xinghua Village is also a big village with a large population.

If I go back to Xinghua Village tomorrow and see that everyone may be the murderer, I don't know if my judgment is still useful at that moment.

Although the elimination method takes time, but rashly doubting and announcing one's own conjectures will definitely cause great panic in the entire Xinghua Village and even the filming crew who are working hard.

Originally, the crew and the village committee had stakes.

The entry of the film crew has brought considerable income to the village, and the cost of the daily operation of the film crew is not a small expense.

If his own investigation messed up the filming of the crew, then he would definitely not be able to afford the loss.

Moreover, what is the face of the Furong Police Station if they are embarrassed in front of the media?
"This murderer is hiding very deeply, but what is his motive for committing the crime? Why did he randomly hurt people? Or did he really only hurt the villagers of Xinghua Village? He didn't hurt the crew?"

There are all kinds of questions in my mind...

There are really very few clues. Gu Chen can only deduce that the murderer is a master of knife using his entry-level imagination, and there is a high probability that he is hiding in Xinghua Village.
