I am a super cop

The more we listened, the more confused we became. We all felt that what this old lady said was very credible. After all, compared to the weird old man we met before, the old lady's thoughts were quite clear.

But even so, in the old lady's mouth, Lao Mu seemed to be the biggest suspect.

After all, according to the old lady, Lao Mumu is closer to Yanzi and Xiaoyuan.

As for whether there are any secrets between the two of them and Lao Mumu? Everyone doesn’t know this yet.

But at least there is a breakthrough, which is to find old wood and ask about the situation.

Even though he is not very bright, as long as he comes into contact with Yanzi and Xiaoyuan, everyone feels that he can always understand something.

"There is no one at home, so why does Lao Mumu often go out for a walk early in the morning?" Lu Weiwei said after listening to Lu Qiang's translation.

"Yes." After sighing softly, the old lady also explained: "As long as the weather is okay, then Lao Mumu will definitely go out."

"He is a person who can't sit still. There's no one at home anyway, so he likes to hang around outside."

After thinking for a while, the old lady added: "Now that I think about it, this old guy is quite self-disciplined."

"He is the earliest to get up in our village. He probably gets up earlier than all the dogs in our village."

"Uh, is it really that exaggerated?" Lu Weiwei was also very curious when she heard what the old lady said.

"Isn't it?" The old lady didn't mean to bluff at all, and she couldn't help but said:

"He is a weird person anyway, but before he got sick, he actually got along pretty well with everyone."

Sighing softly, the old lady added, "It's just a pity. Older people always have a lot of problems with them."

"And my children are not around yet. If I get sick or something, there will be no one to take care of me."

"The key is that his relationship with the people in the village is very average now, and everyone is not very willing to talk to him. He feels like a very boring person."

Seeing everyone in a daze, the old lady added, "He's just a very boring person."

"Okay." Lu Qiang listened to the old lady's explanation and continued to share these reactions with everyone.

When Officer Wang heard this, he continued to ask: "In addition to this old idiot, who has been in contact with Yanzi and Xiaoyuan in the village, who else has been in contact with her for a longer time?"

"Uh, let me think about it." After hearing Officer Wang's words and Lu Qiang's translation, the old lady was also stunned.

But soon, he shook his head and denied it, saying, "I didn't pay attention."

"Okay." Seeing the old lady's denial, Officer Wang also sighed. He felt that every critical moment, there would always be a moment when the chain would slip.

There is no key evidence now, and it is difficult for everyone to follow the clues.

"Old woman."

At this moment, not far away, the old lady's husband was standing at the door, changing positions.

When the old lady took a look, she quickly explained to Gu Chen and others: "I have to go back. I only know so much."

"Okay, thank you. Please walk slowly, there is ice on the road." Seeing that the old lady was about to leave, Lu Qiang quickly reminded her.

Looking at the back of the old lady slowly leaving, and looking at the luggage placed in the room through the window, everyone was muttering in their hearts at this moment.

"The information provided by this old lady is actually very important to us, but now, the key point is that this old idiot doesn't seem to be very easy to communicate with."

Lu Weiwei let out a long sigh, looked around, and reminded: "You have also seen this, how did I communicate with Lao Mu before? You can imagine the result."

"Yes." Officer Wang nodded silently, then crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:

"Old wood is something we should pay attention to."

"Also, Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi's luggage are now kept at home."

"I think, how about we open the window and go in to rummage through their luggage to see what they want to do when they come here?"

"Maybe the answers are all in the luggage?"

"Brother Wang, what you said makes sense, but what if it doesn't?" Lu Qiang also reminded.

Officer Wang vowed: "This is also a way to find clues."

"But the key is, you have to pick the lock to get into the house, and I have to get a tool."

"Let's talk about this later." Gu Chen hesitated for a moment and then reminded:

"It's early in the morning. Picking the lock will easily disturb other people. It's better to wait until everyone in the village gets up before saying hello to everyone."

"Yeah." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Lu Qiang agreed: "Gu Ju was still thoughtful."

"As for breaking the door, let's wait."

"We should look for that old wood now. He shouldn't go too far. If he goes too far and can't be found, we'll have to work in vain all day."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Seeing everyone saying this, Lu Weiwei also quickly reminded:

"Old Mumu walks very slowly. He's still walking down the mountain. We should be able to catch him now. We're just afraid that he won't take the main road."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's chase." Officer Wang said.

When everyone put it together, they unified the plan.

That is to find old wood first.

So, the group of people started to follow the path they came from just now and cautiously pursued them.

The reason why I say "be careful" is because the ground is icy. When going uphill, everyone bends slightly to maintain a certain balance and at least have support.

If he slipped, he could at most lie down and push the ground with his toes, and he could even kick the slippery and icy ground away.

But when going downhill, if you slip and fail to control yourself well, you may slip to the bottom of the mountain in an instant.

This is no exaggeration.

But what makes people feel puzzling is that the old wood, bowed under the quilt, can walk on such slippery ground like the old lady, and it is as smooth as walking on the ground.

It has to be said that the locals are accustomed to this kind of icy road, and they may need to fall many times to accumulate experience and stabilize their pace.

But it's different for outsiders. It shows that the skill is deep and requires time to settle.

"Slow down. If I had known better, I would have brought an anti-slip nail to catch it. The higher you go in this place, the greater the chance of freezing."

"When I first drove up here, the road conditions were pretty good, but now, coincidentally, from the parking lot up, the road started to become icy."

Lu Qiang sighed heavily and complained: "This place, Hemu Village, has relatively poor natural conditions, and the ecology is also very fragile."

"Because it's in a nature reserve, it's not like it used to be. No large-scale development is allowed, especially no deforestation."

"So, if you look at these houses now, they are still the old wooden houses of the past. There are very few new houses built, and most people will not build here anymore. The cost is high, and the key is that they no longer provide subsidies."

"Why not provide subsidies?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"It's normal. The higher-ups want to help the poor through relocation and encourage you to live down the mountain."

"However, many villagers here have a deep-rooted mentality of returning to their roots and are unwilling to leave this place where they have lived for generations."

"So, this place will eventually become a declining village. In another generation, almost no one will live in it." Lu Qiang said.

"Okay." Lu Weiwei shook her head and sighed, feeling that the population of this village might one day disappear.

And their descendants may no longer live in this homeland.

But thinking of Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi who disappeared, Lu Weiwei always had an ominous premonition.

Especially after Lu Weiwei secretly glanced at Gu Chen, this feeling became stronger.

In the past, you could look after Gu Chen when you were in doubt, but when Gu Chen was at a loss, he seemed to be in real trouble.

At least Gu Chen has nothing to do now. The key witness is an old man who is not very bright.

Lu Weiwei is a little frustrated now. She feels that if she finds the old fool now, she may not be able to find out the reason.

"This man is walking very fast. According to the speed he was walking before, he has already passed the place where we parked our car, and we haven't seen him yet."

While Gu Chen was walking, he also felt a little weird.

"Is it fast?" Officer Wang had no idea and couldn't help but said, "Maybe, he might be right in front?"

"Then speed up the pace." Lu Qiang suggested.

Everyone quickly agreed with Lu Qiang's opinion, so the group quickened their pace.

Then, no matter how hard everyone chased and how many mountain roads they detoured, they could never find the whereabouts of the old man.

"Wait, let's stop." Just as everyone was speeding up their pace, Gu Chen, who was walking in the front row, suddenly stopped and stretched out his hand to stop.

Everyone stopped chasing and looked at each other and then at Gu Chen.

"Something's wrong. The old man just now, at his speed, would never be able to walk so fast. We may be looking in the wrong direction." Gu Chen frowned.

When Lu Qiang heard this, he quickly echoed: "Gu Bureau, according to your opinion, this old idiot may not have taken this path?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and said involuntarily:

"This old man usually likes to go for a walk early in the morning, but he doesn't say he has to walk all the way down the mountain."

"That means it's possible that he took another mountain road? A mountain road that only he knows?" Officer Wang said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "That's about right. Let's go back quickly and see if there are any footprints on the roadside?"

"In this situation, the air humidity is also very high, and the moisture in the fog will cover the soil in the mountains."

"So, there may be the old man's footprints left on the roadside."

"But Junior Brother Gu, have you noticed that the fog in the mountains seems to be getting bigger and bigger now?"

Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that the surrounding environment seemed to be changing quietly.

I could still see the sun just now, but now, the sunlight disappeared so suddenly.

The thick fog surrounding everyone seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and the visibility on the entire mountain road began to get lower and lower.

"Why is it so foggy?" Officer Wang frowned and said with a worried look on his face:

"There was sunshine just now, but now it's better. I feel like I'm in heaven?"

"Eh?" Officer Wang thought for a while and said with a curious look on his face: "Do you think Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi got lost in the forest because of heavy fog in the mountains?"

"It's very possible." Seeing Officer Wang say this, Gu Chen also agreed:

"It can be seen that the climate in this mountain is complex and changeable, and the swallow has not been home for a long time, and she is often away from home."

"People who might not even go to the mountains in normal times, but now they bring Yuan Shasha to the village where they grew up, they will definitely take little Yuan around."

"But if you go back and forth, you will probably get lost in the hinterland of the forest."

"Especially, this is deep in the jungle of Centennial Peak, and it should be the innermost village."

"Oh my god." When Lu Weiwei heard what Gu Chen said, her heart skipped a beat, and she said worriedly:

"If this is the case, it will be a big trouble. If Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi are trapped deep in the jungle, it will be really dangerous, especially in this weather and neither of them has brought anything to eat."

"What if I freeze outdoors? It's really going to kill me."

"Oh my God!" As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang on the side also shouted "Oh my God".

Suddenly Lu Weiwei became a little unhappy, and asked Officer Wang: "Old Wang, what is your ghost name?"

"No, look over there." Officer Wang didn't seem to be teasing Lu Weiwei at all, but pointed to one of the areas.

When everyone saw this, they raised their heads and looked into the distance.

At a certain location on the mountain, in the mist, a figure with a bowed back was looming.

Lu Qiang's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but said: "Huh? Isn't that person the old wood we are looking for? Why did he appear there again? Isn't that the place we just walked through?"

"It's him." Gu Chen took a closer look and couldn't help but said, "Yes, it's him. Let's go there quickly."

It feels like no matter what, we can't let this old man out of everyone's sight.

So, the group of people immediately quickened their pace and chased after the old man in the fog.

This time, everyone finally caught up with the old man.

When everyone came to the old man, they immediately surrounded him.

"Hello, old man, we are from Furong Branch." As he spoke, Gu Chen quickly took out his phone and clicked on the photo album.

Then, he illuminated a piece of Yuan Shasha's work in front of the old man and asked:

"You must have met her, right? She is my colleague. People in the village said that they saw you communicating with her and the Yanzi in the village. Is it true?"

While speaking, Gu Chen also stopped the old man in front of him because he did not move.

Therefore, the old man stopped now and faced Gu Chen face to face.

But even so, the old man had no intention of talking to Gu Chen.

This was exactly the same as when Lu Weiwei communicated with him before.

But Gu Chen didn't want to give up, and continued to explain: "The two of them have their luggage at home, but they are nowhere to be seen. We haven't contacted them for several days."

"If they get lost in the mountains and the weather is like this, we are afraid that something will happen to them, so please tell us about their whereabouts?"

Gu Chen's attitude was sincere and he also looked serious.

However, at this moment, the old man didn't seem to want to talk at all.

After Gu Chen blocked his way, he still avoided Gu Chen and continued to walk slowly forward.

Officer Wang looked a little anxious and immediately stopped in front of the old man again.

This time, Officer Wang opened his arms directly and said as a reminder: "Old man, are we asking you something?"

"I have heard some things about you before, but after all, they were all in the past. We don't know why you seemed to be a different person after that serious illness. We just want to know that our colleagues are where?"

"We also ask you to tell us if you know, this could be a matter of life."

Although Officer Wang used both soft and hard tactics, it just didn't seem to work.

The old man's eyes were dull and he still ignored the presence of Officer Wang. He directly bypassed Officer Wang and continued to move forward.

When Lu Qiang saw this, he opened his arms helplessly and pleaded: "Old man, just tell me what you know? We really have no choice but to know something about the whereabouts of our colleagues."

"You said, in this cold weather, there has been no news from the two girls' families. This is really not normal, eh? Old man..."

Before Lu Qiang could finish speaking, the old man repeated his old tricks and avoided Lu Qiang again, as if he was an intelligent robot that could avoid obstacles.

When Lu Weiwei saw this, she suddenly became angry.

It feels like this old man's ability to avoid everyone seems to mean that he has his own thoughts.

But for such a person, it seems a bit unbelievable to say that his mind is not very bright.

So Lu Weiwei also blocked the old man on his way up the mountain.

But Lu Weiwei didn't speak this time, she just stared at the old man in front of her.

Then the uncle repeated his old trick and turned on the "obstacle avoidance robot" mode again, directly bypassing Lu Weiwei.

But Lu Weiwei is not someone to be trifled with. You can avoid her, but she can stop her again.

So every time the old man bypassed Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei would speed up her pace again, come to him, and then stretch out her hand to block the old man's way.

And as long as the old man continues to avoid him, Lu Weiwei will continue to stop him, and the main thing is to stalk him.

Now not only Gu Chen, but also Officer Wang and Lu Qiang were confused, and probably even the old man was confused.

I have never seen such a beautiful girl playing this trick with an uncle?

But while the old man continued to want to avoid Lu Weiwei.

This time, Lu Weiwei did not immediately step forward to continue the entanglement. Instead, as the old man passed by Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei said immediately:

"Actually, your illness is fake, right?"

"what?"

The old man's face was expressionless, but Gu Chen and others were stunned for a moment.

Seeing the uncle continuing to pass by Lu Weiwei, Lu Weiwei continued to stand there and reminded:

"I looked at your eyes just now. When I looked directly at you, your eyes clearly showed signs of dodge."

"If you really have a brain problem, then that look in your eyes just now won't look so calm."

Seeing that the uncle continued to walk forward slowly, Lu Weiwei turned around and reminded her again:

"I'm very sure that your illness should have been cured long ago. You have been pretending to be sick, pretending that you are incompatible with the villagers and different, and even pretending that you don't want to talk to the villagers."

Halfway through, Lu Weiwei also laughed and continued:

"It shows that you are quite good at pretending. At least we have all been deceived by you."

"Lu Weiwei." Seeing Lu Weiwei's fierce attack on the old man's back, Officer Wang came to Lu Weiwei's side in disbelief and said inexplicably:

"You said he was faking it?"

"He's just pretending." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei pointed at the old man's back and said with indignation: "One's eyes cannot deceive others."

After the words fell, Gu Chen really saw the old man walking slowly with his hands behind his back in front of him, and he paused briefly.

Then, as if he was afraid that everyone would see the clues, the old man subconsciously continued to move forward.

At this moment, Gu Chen was completely awakened by Lu Weiwei.

So, Gu Chen also imitated Lu Weiwei's example and quickly shouted his steps to catch up with the old man.

Then, he stopped in front of the old man and stared at the old man in front of him with his sharp eyes.

At this moment, the uncle seems to be a little confused.

Being stared at by Gu Chen like this made him feel very anxious.

"Senior Sister Lu is right." Seeing this, Gu Chen raised the corners of his mouth and continued:

"Are you pretending to be sick? In other words, you are not sick at all. Saying you are sick may be just an excuse for you."

With a faint sigh, Gu Chen also curiously asked him:

"I'm curious, what is your purpose in doing this?"

"Or, what are you running from? Why are you hiding from everyone?"

Seeing that the old man wanted to get around him, Gu Chen was not like Lu Weiwei. Instead, when the old man had just taken half a step and was about to move to the side, Gu Chen took a step sideways and blocked him.

Continuing to use Lu Weiwei's stalking method, she stopped the old man and said, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"Or maybe Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi were kidnapped by you? In fact, you have never been really stupid, including your walking posture. Maybe you know that you are confusing everyone."

Gu Chen's shocking remarks also shocked everyone present.

No one expected that Gu Chen would say such shocking remarks to an old man.

At this moment, the old man seemed to be a little nervous due to Gu Chen, and his expression began to return to his natural state.

If we say that the old man nicknamed "Old Wood" used to appear in front of the villagers like a patient.

So, maybe this is just his disguise, and he seems to have another purpose.

But when Gu Chen said this, he might have played into the old man's hands, and his disguise instantly became invisible.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became awkward.

Seeing that he couldn't get around Gu Chen, the old man seemed to be really anxious. He frowned slightly and was about to reach out to hit Gu Chen.

But how could Gu Chen let himself get hurt? He raised his hand directly and easily, and the five fingers suddenly acted like a pair of steel pliers, firmly clamping the old man's right hand.

The old man couldn't break free from Gu Chen's suppression, and his temper began to become violent. He also let out an angry groan, which seemed to be an invisible protest.

When Lu Qiang saw this, he was immediately frightened and quickly reminded Gu Chen: "Gu Bureau, it's almost over, right? The old man is not in good health. If he gets angry and gets sick, he will be in big trouble."
