I am a super cop

Chapter 2212 The figure in the fog
Several people stayed in the dilapidated hut, carefully studying the various totems on the wall, and finally everyone reached a consensus.

Lu Weiwei took out her mobile phone, took pictures of all this, and said involuntarily, "It seems that Zhou Xiaotong was invited here for another purpose."

"And this purpose is quite mysterious, so that Zhou Xiaotong used Jiangnan City to find a job to prevaricate."

"However, from the very beginning, this Zhou Xiaotong has already planned everything, or in other words, the person who sent him the invitation letter has already determined a specific route for her."

"And next, Zhou Xiaotong needs to follow the inviter's guidance to find this dense forest hut without being discovered."

"Otherwise Zhou Xiaotong wouldn't have come to this deep forest at night."

"That's right." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Gu Chen also answered:
"Especially the totem on the wall, which looks ordinary on the surface, but if combined with the specific location of the address here, you can quickly find it."

"It's clearly a map and a code word for guidance. I think the inviter didn't tell Zhou Xiaotong the exact location, but instead asked Zhou Xiaotong to find the next location by himself according to the totem guidance on the wall."

"Such a secretive action shows that the other party does not fully trust Zhou Xiaotong, but is always on guard."

"Gu Chen." Just as Gu Chen finished speaking, Police Officer Wang said with a serious expression, "I have a bad feeling."

"You said that Zhou Xiaotong had never been to Jiangnan City before, but once he arrived in Jiangnan City, he dared to come to this kind of hidden forest alone."

"It can be seen that this Zhou Xiaotong is very courageous. Moreover, the other party seems to be investigating Zhou Xiaotong, and did not reveal too many clues."

"I just want Zhou Xiaotong to find the destination by himself, and I can guarantee that the person who sent the invitation letter will definitely meet Zhou Xiaotong at a certain place."

"Old Wang, tell me, what exactly is this person looking for Zhou Xiaotong to do?" Lu Weiwei was very troubled by this, mainly because the other party's behavior was too weird.

But Police Officer Wang shook his head and sighed: "I just want to know, and I don't have to mess around like this."

"If you want me to say, don't think about so many problems now, find someone first and then talk."

"Didn't this Zhou Xiaotong go to the direction of the valley according to the guidance of the map?"

"I think that somewhere in the valley, there should be other traces to guide Zhou Xiaotong to the designated place."

"Or, that valley is the place where the mysterious inviter invited Zhou Xiaotong to the appointment."

"Why do you feel so mysterious? It's scary." Lu Weiwei has never seen such a way to invite people to come to the appointment.

But the more weird the situation, the more curious Lu Weiwei was.

Gu Chen looked down at the time, and hurriedly reminded: "Time waits for no one, we have to set off immediately."

"Okay." Police Officer Wang took the strong flashlight in his hand and irradiated the surroundings for a few times before saying:

"Anyway, there are no other clues in this room, and it still smells bad. It's really a pain to stay here."

"Now we'd better follow the directions and go to the next location to see if we can find some new discoveries."

Just do what you say, the few people just stayed in the house for a short time, and immediately started to move towards the next location to guard.

Because everyone guessed that Zhou Xiaotong had seen the totem paintings on the wall and understood the other party's intentions.

And Zhou Xiaotong left the hotel late at night, so he should have come out of the hut at night.

So Gu Chen and the others continued to search in the forest with bright flashlights.

……

……

Rustling.

Not knowing how far ahead, Gu Chen tore off a branch on the side of the road again, and tied the branch to a tree trunk as a sign of his coming.

This is beneficial for Gu Chen to go back the same way without getting lost.

"Gu Chen." Officer Wang stepped back and leaned towards Gu Chen, also a little nervously said:

"The forest here is getting denser and denser. You could still see the moonlight before, but look here. It's pitch black and you can't see anything."

"That's right." Lu Weiwei, who just discovered the abnormality, also slowly approached Gu Chen and said:

"The woods here feel airtight, and besides our few strong flashlights, there is no light source in the surrounding area. It feels quite dangerous."

"However, we still have to continue to look for Zhou Xiaotong's trace." Although Gu Chen is also very clear, if he searches and advances in this strange dense forest, once he loses the direction of the way back, he may get lost in the jungle.

Officer Wang looked around with a strong flashlight, and said involuntarily, "Gu Chen, it seems that the terrain here is very low, and we should have reached the direction pointed by the marker, which is the valley."

"But if we misunderstand the totem on the wall, then we may have to go a lot of wrong roads."

"So..." Gu Chen glanced at Officer Wang.

"So, we have to stop the search immediately and go back the same way, otherwise everyone will be stuck here." Officer Wang said.

"Isn't this road well marked? What are you afraid of, Old Wang?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but tease when she saw that Police Officer Wang started to retreat.

Police Officer Wang gave a "tsk", and then said: "I didn't mean that, I mean, there is no clue here now, we may be looking in the wrong direction."

"Then take a rest and see if there is anything unusual around you." Gu Chen was aware of Police Officer Wang's concerns.

As an old comrade, Officer Wang also disagreed with such a risky approach to the depths of the dense forest.

But Gu Chen also knew that if he didn't look for Zhou Xiaotong's trace according to the guidance of the totem, then he might never find Zhou Xiaotong.

Thinking that since everyone has come here, why not check carefully?
If you really don't find it, it's not too late to go.

So at Gu Chen's suggestion, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei came directly to a big tree, and they also squatted down against the big tree.

I walked for an hour, shuttling through the depths of the woods, and it was difficult to find the trace.

In addition, searching the mountains at night is also a test of physical strength.

Officer Wang took out the police water bottle, gulped a few sips, and then looked in Gu Chen's direction again.

At this time, Gu Chen was still standing among the weeds, looking around firmly.

Soon, Gu Chen closed his eyes, and the road he walked just now suddenly turned into a 3D map, which quickly emerged from his mind in three dimensions.

Gu Chen opened up the master-level imagination, making the entire topographic map come alive.

And in my mind, I instantly formed a rough prototype of the surrounding geographical orientation.

Gu Chen is now from the perspective of God, and his temporary foothold from the jungle hut to here is connected by a winding red line.

Gu Chen used the power of ideas to elevate the entire terrain map to a higher position of God's perspective.

At this moment, Gu Chen realized that everyone's current location happened to be at the bottom of the valley.

Going further, you have to go up the hill.

"Could it be here?" Gu Chen snapped his fingers, and quickly returned to reality from the simulated space in the master's imagination.

Turning his head to look behind him, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang were drinking water and communicating with each other.

Gu Chen looked around again, and not far away was a relatively wide open space.

There are fewer trees here, but weeds are still overgrown.

Gu Chen picked up the bright flashlight and walked slowly towards this area again.

"Swish..."

The movement of the body rubbing against the weeds kept ringing around.

Every time Gu Chen took a step, there was a "rustling" movement around him.

But when Gu Chen came to the center of the open space, he suddenly found that the weeds here seemed to have been trampled on before.

Gu Chen followed the direction where the weeds fell, and continued to walk forward, and soon found that not far from the weeds pile, under a big tree, under the illumination of the strong flashlight, there seemed to be a reflective object .

Gu Chen didn't care too much, and continued to walk forward, only to realize that there was an empty mineral water bottle under the big tree?

So Gu Chen subconsciously observed the surroundings first, and after confirming that there was no one there, he put on his white gloves, picked up the empty mineral water bottle on the ground, and held it in his hand to observe.

Looking at the inside of the empty mineral water bottle, it was already full of water droplets at this moment, and concluded that this empty mineral water bottle should have been discarded here a few days ago.

"Could it be the mineral water bottle that Zhou Xiaotong drank?" Gu Chen frowned, unable to judge the specific situation.

So he put the mineral water bottle back in place and took out his phone to take a picture.

Afterwards, Gu Chen took out another transparent evidence collection bag, put the mineral water bottle in it, and wrote the serial number data on a corner of the transparent evidence collection bag.

I also saw Gu Chen under this big tree, it seems that he found something?Lu Weiwei stood up directly, and walked slowly following the path Gu Chen walked just now.

Officer Wang also followed closely after seeing this.

"Junior Brother Gu." Lu Weiwei came behind Gu Chen.

Gu Chen turned around and handed the empty mineral water bottle to Lu Weiwei: "Take it."

"What is this? Where did it come from?" Looking at the empty mineral water bottle, Lu Weiwei also frowned slightly, and asked vigilantly.

"I found it under this big tree." Gu Chen sighed, telling the truth.

"Could it be that Zhou Xiaotong discarded this?" Officer Wang came to Lu Weiwei's side, took the transparent evidence collection bag from Lu Weiwei, and said casually.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "At present, there is such a possibility."

"Judging from the situation of the mineral water bottle, it should have been discarded here a few days ago, but I didn't find anything else around."

"And Zhou Xiaotong disappeared in this area a few days ago, so they are linked together. This may be Zhou Xiaotong's item."

"How could this girl go so far?" Lu Weiwei hesitated, and asked Gu Chen back:

"Junior Brother Gu, is there such a possibility? This is left by the mysterious person who sent Zhou Xiaotong the invitation letter?"

"Perhaps." Gu Chen couldn't judge right now, so he could only say casually:
"But the specific situation, when we bring this vacant mineral water bottle back to the Technical Section of the Municipal Bureau and ask Gao Chuanfeng to help test it, I think the truth will be cleared up."

"That's the only way to go first." Officer Wang took a deep breath, looked around, and couldn't help reminding:
"Gu Chen, it seems that fog has started to form in this mountain forest."

"Oh my god." Lu Weiwei, who discovered the problem, also exclaimed:
"It's so good, I didn't realize it, Junior Brother Gu, look quickly, when the surrounding area was illuminated by a flashlight just now, you can still see it from a long distance."

"But now, there seems to be more and more fog around, gathering here."

"It's not easy if we get lost in the jungle. It may be more troublesome to find the way back."

The fog that suddenly appeared in the mountains and forests was also unexpected to the three of them.

If we say that before, Gu Chen used plant stems and vines to keep marking the way he came here with plant stems and vines.

So now the surroundings are starting to become blurred, and it may take more time to find the way home again.

And if you are not careful, you may get lost in the fog.

Seeing this, the more experienced officer Wang hurriedly reminded Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, I can't look any further."

"The most important thing now is to leave this place as soon as possible. After dawn, we can find it again. We must withdraw now."

"Yes, Junior Brother Gu, hurry up and withdraw." Lu Weiwei also felt that something was wrong, reminding her anxiously.

Gu Chen picked up the bright flashlight, and also unwillingly irradiated the dense forest in front of him twice, and said:
"I feel that Zhou Xiaotong should be nearby. If this mineral water bottle belongs to Zhou Xiaotong, then it means that she has been here before."

"Ouch!" Seeing that Gu Chen was still hesitating, Police Officer Wang also reminded: "Gu Chen, no matter whether Zhou Xiaotong has been here or not, listen to my advice and leave quickly."

"A little later, we may all be surrounded by fog, and if we want to go out by then, it may be harder than climbing to the sky."

"If you go hard, it may take a lot of time. When you really leave this dense forest, I think it may take a long time, maybe until tomorrow morning."

"Let's go." As soon as Police Officer Wang finished speaking, Lu Weiwei also grabbed Gu Chen and began to drag Gu Chen in the previous direction.

The three began to reach a tacit agreement, and quickly evacuated in the direction they had come before.

Gu Chen walked at the end of the three of them, and looked behind him every step of the way.

In the dark forest, Gu Chen seemed to see a figure of a woman appearing in the mist.

But when Gu Chen stood in place, rubbed his eyes, and took a closer look, the figure in the mist seemed to disappear again.

Gu Chen froze in place, his surrounding vision began to blur.

"Junior Brother Gu." At the same time that Gu Chen lost his mind, Lu Weiwei pulled Gu Chen back to the sober state again:
"What's wrong with you? Let's go."

"Okay." Gu Chen took a deep breath, wiped his blurred eyes with his left hand, and then continued to follow behind Lu Weiwei, moving quickly in the direction he came from.

The fog was much bigger than everyone imagined. After a while, Gu Chen and the three disappeared into the white mist.
