I am a super cop

Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of everyone, seeming to be in anxiety.

First of all, Gu Chen didn't know what the purpose of Yanzi's return to Hemu Village was. But it is certain that she is not just here to relax.

Secondly, what might the villagers know? But because Lao Mumu had been teaching and educating people at the central primary school in the town at that time, he rarely returned to Hemu Village.

Therefore, Lao Mumu didn't know anything about what happened in Hemu Village back then.

In addition, there is a certain gap between Lao Momo and the villagers. Therefore, the villagers rarely tell him the truth, and it is even more difficult for him to know the truth clearly.

"So according to your opinion, do the people in the village know Yanzi's life experience?"

"I must know something." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lao Mumu also replied definitely:

"But the people in the village didn't say anything, because Yanzi and I have a teacher-student relationship, and I took special care of Yanzi when we were in school."

"So Yanzi has special trust in me and wants to know something about his biological parents through me."

With a heavy sigh, Lao Mumu added: "But you also know that I can't tell her. I can only tell her some of the situations I guessed."

"What happened next? Did Yanzi tell you where he was going?" Lu Weiwei asked quickly.

Lao Mumu was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know about this. After all, although Yanzi is familiar with me, it's only because I taught Yanzi."

"But she has something hidden in her heart and won't tell me easily."

After thinking about it, Lao Mumu added, "She may tell her friend, your colleague Yuan Shasha, what she is thinking."

"But now that we can't find both of them, we can't ask them, right?" Lu Qiang also looked helpless when he heard this.

Lao Mumu shook his head and couldn't help but said: "Then I have nothing to do. Anyway, I will tell you everything I know about the situation."

"As for how you find Yanzi? This is your business. Even at my age, I can't help you much."

After the old man finished speaking, he coughed twice, and then hit his back with his fist.

Gu Chen also knew that it was not easy for the old man to mess around at his age.

But now that Yanzi and Yuan Shasha are missing, the people in the village seem to be fine, which makes Gu Chen very curious.

Usually if there are one or two people missing in the village, then the whole village has to take action, at least go to the surrounding mountains to see if the two people have gotten lost in the mountains or something?

But from the moment Gu Chen walked into Hemu Village, he felt that Hemu Village was strange and unpredictable.

Fortunately, the old lady I met and now Lao Mumu provided some information to everyone.

But based on these alone, Gu Chen still can't find the two of them.

But thinking about the abnormal behavior of the villagers, Gu Chen still felt that it was necessary to ask the villagers for clarification.

At the very least, there are still many people living in the village. Among these people, there are always one or two people who last saw where Yanzi and Yuan Shasha went.

As long as we find the last place where the two went before they disappeared, there may be more hope of finding them.

"Do you have anything else to ask?" Seeing Gu Chen froze on the spot thinking about the problem, Lao Mumu also asked casually.

"Oh." Gu Chen reacted and quickly asked him: "How many people live in the village now?"

"How many people?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lao Mumu hesitated and said slowly:

"Including me, there are almost 12 people in the village now. They are all middle-aged and elderly people."

"12 people?" After hearing what Lao Mu said, Officer Wang thought about it and said slowly:

"In addition to you, we have also met an old couple, which means there are 9 people we have never met."

"Among these nine people, maybe some have seen Yanzi and Xiaoyuan."

After thinking about it, Officer Wang quickly asked, "Where does the head of your Hemu Village live?"

"The village chief's house lives right next to the central square of the village. Just walk straight ahead and there is a small open space. Over there is our village square, where the village chief lives."

Seeing Lao Mumu pointing forward and explaining to everyone, Lu Weiwei also thanked him and said, "Thank you then."

"You're welcome, and I hope you can find Yanzi and Yuan Shasha soon." Lao Mumu said lightly.

Due to tight time and heavy tasks, Gu Chen and others did not dare to delay and immediately prepared to leave for the village chief's house.

But just when Gu Chen and others were about to turn around and leave, they were suddenly stopped by Lao Mu: "Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen stopped and turned to ask him.

"That's it..." After hesitating for a moment, Lao Mumu lowered his head in thought, then quickly raised his head again and warned:

"As for my pretending to be ill, please don't reveal it to anyone. I just don't like dealing with people in the village."

"By pretending to be sick, you can avoid some interruptions."

"Okay." Seeing Lao Mumu's request in this regard, Gu Chen readily agreed:

"I promise you to keep your secret."

"Okay, thank you." Lao Mumu thanked him and waved his hands to Gu Chen and others, indicating that they could leave.

Gu Chen and the others did not dare to delay, and immediately walked quickly towards the hillside.

Following Lao Mumu's prompt, everyone walked along the mountain road and found an open area ahead.

This should be regarded as an open space second only to the parking lot at the entrance of the village.

There are some publicity boards and some sports equipment around the open space. It should be the village list interactive center.

On one side of the open space, there is an old wooden house. Compared with other wooden houses, this old wooden house looks particularly grand.

Gu Chen and others came forward. At this moment, the door was closed, and Gu Chen also tried to knock on the door.

"Tuk tuk tuk, is anyone at home? Tuk tuk tuk, is anyone at home?"

"Who is it?" I also heard someone knocking on the door and calling, and a response suddenly came from inside the house.

Lu Qiang quickly said: "Is this the village chief's home? We are from the city."

"Wait a moment." It sounded like it was coming from the city, and everyone immediately heard a response from inside the house.

Not long after, I heard the sound of footsteps.

As the wooden door was opened, a bald man wearing a military coat looked at everyone with curiosity and said:

"Are you from the city?"

"Yes." Lu Qiang nodded silently and introduced himself: "I am from the Tai City Public Security Bureau, and these guys are from the Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau. We are here this time..."

"Is it about Yanzi?" Before Lu Qiang could finish speaking, the bald man took over.

"Yes." Seeing this, Lu Qiang also smiled and said, "You should know?"

"I must know. Director Liu from the town also came here yesterday. Only then did we know that Yanzi had not left Hemu Village and his luggage was still there."

"But where do the swallows go? We don't know very well."

"Can we have a good chat?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Okay." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the bald man immediately gave up his position and said:

"It's cold outside, please come in and sit down."

"okay."

As the bald man opened the door, everyone walked into the house.

In the middle of the hall, there is the same thing as the old lady's fire-making tools that everyone saw before, something similar to a large iron pot, placed on a square wooden frame.

In the middle of the iron pot, there was a lot of wood ash and a few pieces of burned charcoal.

Then, the bald man also started to use tongs to find some new pieces of charcoal from the sack on one side.

Then use some sawdust to light the fire and put new charcoal on top.

Everyone sat around in the middle and suddenly felt a wave of warmth.

"Village chief, please sit down too and let's have a nice chat." Gu Chen looked at the bald man and said casually.

"Okay." Knowing that the people who came this time were police officers, the bald man was very cooperative.

A wooden chair was immediately brought and sat among the people.

Lu Weiwei looked around and asked curiously: "Village Chief, are you the only one at home?"

"No." The village chief shook his head, glanced at the side room, and explained: "My wife is not in good health and got up late, so she is still sleeping in the room."

"Okay, won't it disturb her?" Lu Weiwei said.

When the village chief heard this, he also smiled and said, "How could that be?"

"Okay then." Seeing this, Lu Weiwei immediately turned on the law enforcement recorder, and everyone got into work mode.

"Can you tell us about Yanzi and Yuan Shasha?" Gu Chen said.

"Yuan Shasha?" The village chief was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and asked curiously:

"Is she the girl who went back to the village with Yanzi?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded and explained, "She is our colleague."

"Okay." Seeing this, the village chief also introduced:

"Swallow actually hasn't come back for a long time, because she is an orphan who was picked up and adopted by an old man in our village."

"At that time, Yanzi was abandoned at the entrance of the village. The old woman who picked her up and took her home later passed away, about...seven or eight years ago."

"Later, Yanzi never returned to the village after attending her grandmother's funeral, because her only relative was no longer there."

"What happened next? Why did Yanzi come back this time?" Officer Wang asked him curiously.

The village chief shook his head: "I don't know the details, because I have a lot of things to do and have few opportunities to chat with Yanzi."

"But I heard that she came back this time just because she was tired from work and wanted to go home and relax, so she brought her friends with her."

"Maybe you want to stay at home for a few days, and then relax before going back to work? That's probably what it looks like."

"Did she tell you that?" Lu Qiang asked curiously after hearing the village chief's explanation.

The village chief nodded silently: "Isn't it true? It was Yanzi himself who told us villagers so."

"Moreover, she borrowed cleaning tools from people in our village and went back to her old house to clean a room. They stayed in the old house at night."

"Yes." After listening to the village chief's explanation, Gu Chen nodded silently, and then said:

"So, after they came back, who did they seek out in the village?"

"Also, where have they been? When was the last time you saw them?"

Facing Gu Chen's series of questions, the village chief scratched the back of his head and said thoughtfully:

"Who did they look for in the village? Oh, I'm not sure about this. Anyway, they just chatted with acquaintances when they met?"

"However, I remember that they seemed to have looked for old wood in the village."

"Old wood?" Because she knew the situation of old wood, Lu Weiwei still had to pretend not to know:

"Who is this old wood?"

"It's an old man in the village." As he spoke, the old village chief also opened the thermos bottle, poured a few cups of hot water for everyone, and continued:

"This old man used to be the principal of the town's central primary school and rarely stayed in the village."

"However, Yanzi once studied at the Central Primary School, and he also taught Yanzi and was regarded as Yanzi's teacher."

"So, he has always had a good relationship with Yanzi, especially knowing that Yanzi is a child adopted by an old woman in our Hemu Village, and he takes special care of her."

"Okay." Seeing that the situation explained by the old village chief was basically consistent with what everyone knew, Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to ask:

"What happened next? What did they say to this old wood afterwards?"

"Haha, how did I know this?" Seeing Gu Chen ask this question, the old being also said with a wry smile.

"Don't people in your village know this?" Officer Wang asked again.

The old village chief continued to shake his head: "I don't know about this, because Yanzi has been mysterious since she came back. It is difficult to see her. She should go around the surrounding area."

"So there is a feeling that the dragon has seen the beginning but not the end. People in the village will chat with them if they meet them occasionally."

"Anyway, I heard from my wife that after Yanzi came back with her friend, she took the initiative to find Lao Mu, oh, it was the old principal."

"Others, they didn't communicate much."

"Then where have they been?" As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, Gu Chen's questions came one after another.

The old village chief was stunned: "Where have you been? Well...I really don't know about this. Maybe...you've just been around the village?"

"But your village is surrounded by trees and forests, are you going to these places?" Officer Wang asked again.

The old village chief gave a wry smile and said slowly: "That may be true. Our Hemu Village is located in the hinterland of Centenary Peak. It is a primitive village in the innermost part of Centenary Peak."

Pointing to his own house, the old village chief continued to explain:

"You see, the houses here are all older and older."

"But many of the previous architectural styles have been retained. Moreover, we have beautiful mountains and clear waters. Although the scenery is not as good as those in commercial scenic spots, the scenery here is all pure and natural."

"Yanzi has liked playing nearby since she was a child, so I guess she wants to experience what it was like when she was a child."

"After all, you come back to the village to find memories and experience your childhood, right?"

Seeing that what the old village chief said made sense, Gu Chen nodded slightly and asked, "Then where was the last time you saw Yanzi and Yuan Shasha?"

"The last time I saw them?" It felt like Gu Chen had posed a big problem for him again. The old village chief thought for a moment and said slowly:

"I remember, it seemed that my wife saw it, right? My wife was getting ready to go home to cook. Well, yes, it seemed to be almost dark, right?"

Having said this, the old village chief suddenly asked loudly to the room at the side door: "Old woman, was the last time you saw Yanzi and her friends when it was almost dark?" "Yes, I was going to make dinner at that time. Met them on the road."

In the room, a reply came quickly from an old lady with a local dialect accent.

"Then did you see where they went?" the old village chief asked again.

"I don't know, but it seems to be walking up the mountain." The old lady's response still came from the room.

"Okay, I got it." In response to his wife, the old village chief turned to look at everyone and explained:

"My wife said that the last time she saw them was when they were cooking at night. They seemed to be walking up the mountain."

"I don't know the rest. After all, since then, my wife and the villagers have never seen them again."

"Going up the mountain?" After listening to the old village chief's introduction, Gu Chen glanced in the direction outside the door and pointed to the location up the mountain and curiously asked him:

"Old village chief, is there something on this mountain?"

"Nothing, just a small waterfall." The old village chief said.

"What about other than that?" Lu Qiang also continued to ask.

"Besides that?" The old village chief was stunned, and then said thoughtfully, "Besides that, there seems to be nothing else?"

"The rivers we have here are all mountain spring water, water flowing down from the mountains."

"Anyway, we only know that there is a small waterfall on the mountain, and not much else?"

"Because our Hemu Village is already in a ravine. There are no villages further up."

"Okay." After hearing what the old village chief said, Lu Qiang also said slowly:

"That means the last time you saw the two of them was on the road up the mountain, right?"

"Yes." The old village chief nodded.

"We haven't seen him since then?" Lu Qiang continued to confirm.

"I haven't seen him since." The old village chief continued to tell the truth.

Everyone was stunned at this moment, thinking that Yan Zi and Xiao Yuan might have had an accident on the way to the mountain.

But the road up the mountain doesn't seem too far, because it's very close to the top of the mountain, and it doesn't seem like it will take long to find the waterfall.

So Gu Chen quickly asked: "How long does it take to walk from here to see the waterfall on the mountain?"

"How long?" After thinking for a few seconds, the old village chief also gave his own explanation:

"For old bones like us, it would probably take 40 minutes to go to the mountain and walk to the waterfall."

Looking up at the people in front of him, the old village chief said again: "If it's you people, I estimate that 30 minutes is enough."

"Okay, thank you." After listening to the old village chief's meaningful explanation, Gu Chen roughly understood the specific structure of this place.

From entering Hemu Village, to the village chief's house, to the waterfall on the mountain, Gu Chen probably had a clear impression in his mind.

At least it shows that the small waterfall is not too far from Hemu Village.

Because Gu Chen also discovered many water sources flowing from the mountains on the side of the road in Hemu Village.

These are all mountain spring water.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen decided to set off immediately to find the waterfall.

But after thinking again and again, Gu Chen asked the old village chief: "But old village chief, why do they go to the mountain when it's almost dark?"

"Haha, how did I know this?" Seeing that Gu Chen had too many questions, the old village chief also smiled bitterly and waved his hand.

"Okay." Seeing that the situation was getting brighter, Gu Chen could only act according to the plan.

So he quickly stood up, shook hands with the old village chief and exchanged greetings: "Then, let's go to the mountains and have a look. Are there many forks in the mountains?"

"No more, no more." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the old village chief waved his hand and explained:

"There is only a rugged mountain road to go up from here to the waterfall on the top of the mountain."

Holding out a finger, the old village chief continued to explain: "There is only one road. Follow this road and you will see it if you keep going forward."

"This road was built by our villagers in Hemu Village. Although it is a bit crude, it is enough to go up the mountain."

"Okay, thank you." After understanding the situation, Gu Chen also thanked the old village chief.

Then, he led everyone outside the house.

Seeing this, the old village chief quickly put on his slippers and followed everyone to the door.

"Old village chief, please go back to your house first. Leave the rest to us. Let's go take a look in the mountains."

"Okay." After hearing what Gu Chen said, the old village chief nodded repeatedly.

Afterwards, everyone parted at the door.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, took Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Lu Qiang, and continued to walk through the remaining houses built on high ground in Hemu Village, walking quickly towards the mountain road ahead.

As we went up, we all felt that the mountain road became more and more rugged, especially the angle began to become a bit steeper.

Every time we take a step, we seem to feel like we are carrying something heavy on our backs.

Everyone bowed their backs and walked up bit by bit.

Only then did I realize that many plants in the jungle had covered the mountain road. As I moved forward, I needed to clear these plants away.

But Gu Chen, who was walking in the front row of the team, suddenly stopped, which made everyone a little confused.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly came to Gu Chen and asked him curiously: "Junior brother Gu, what's wrong?"

"I'm observing the vegetation creases on this mountain road." Gu Chen said.

"Vegetation creases?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei immediately looked around the road, and sure enough, Lu Weiwei discovered that on Gu Chen's right side, there were some traces of plants that had been trampled obviously.

At this moment, Officer Wang also stepped forward from behind the crowd, squatting down and observing the broken vegetation.

"How's it going? Brother Wang?" Seeing this, Lu Qiang behind him quickly asked.

"Looking at the way the plant was broken, it must have been a few days ago, right?" Officer Wang finished speaking and subconsciously looked at Gu Chen beside him.

Gu Chen confirmed his statement and said slowly: "Yes, judging from the signs of broken plants, the time may indeed have happened a few days ago."

With a faint sigh, Gu Chen said again: "How can the elderly in the village climb to a place like this in this weather?"

"Also, I feel that with the physiques of these elderly people in the village, there is no need for them to climb up the mountain."

"First of all, it's not safe. Secondly, what are they doing climbing up there? Do they have nothing to do?"

"That's right." Lu Qiang completely agreed with Gu Chen's view and couldn't help but say:

"If the traces were not left by the old people in the village, then it is very likely that they were left by Yanzi and Yuan Shasha."

"After all, the village chief's wife said she saw the two of them walking up the mountain before dark."

"If the two of them just go for a walk in the mountains and go home right away, that's fine."

"I'm afraid that the two of them will enter the mountain rashly without any equipment, and it's getting late, so it's a bit dangerous."

"Yes." Officer Wang also agreed with his old classmate's point of view and couldn't help but said to Gu Chen:

"Gu Chen, it seems that the creases on these plants should belong to Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi..."

"uncertain."

Before Officer Wang could finish speaking, Gu Chen suddenly interrupted.

Officer Wang was stunned and asked out of curiosity: "Not necessarily what?"

"What I mean is..." Halfway through his words, Gu Chen turned to look at Officer Wang and everyone, and quickly explained:

"I just carefully inspected the footprints around the plant, and I found that the person who can wear this shoe size is at least an adult man."

"What? Has anyone else gone up in this mountain?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei quickly went up to check the situation.

At this moment, Gu Chen pointed to one of the areas and said:

"The vegetation in this place has obvious traces of being trampled by feet."

"Furthermore, judging from the size of the marks, this should be a pair of shoes around size 44, and it seems to be a hiking shoe with obvious sole patterns."

"Eh?" After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt enlightened and said quickly:

"Not to mention, the footprints are really big, and they are definitely not those of a woman."

"But, will the old people in the village wear these hiking shoes? I see that many old people in the village wear cotton shoes."

"After all, home is here. Wear cotton shoes to keep warm when you go out. If it were me, I wouldn't wear these hiking boots, right? It's quite troublesome."

"It makes sense." Listening to Lu Weiwei's explanation, Lu Qiang in the back row nodded and admitted after observing the scene for a few times.

"It seems that the people who entered the mountain are not only Yanzi and Yuan Shasha, but also other men."

"But the village chief and Lao Mumu have said that Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi are relatively young, and the last time the village chief's wife saw them was before dark."

"Moreover, when the two of them went to the top of the mountain, they must have taken this necessary route."

Crossing his chest with his hands and holding his chin, Lu Qiang continued to analyze:

"But there are obviously no young people in the village, they are all old people. How did this footprint come about?"

"It means that some of these people are not telling the truth, or they don't know how this person appeared? Maybe he passed through Hemu Village quietly and came to this road up the mountain." Gu Chen Answer.

"Okay." Lu Qiang nodded slightly and said with a worried look on his face:

"It seems that the current situation is not very optimistic. Others have come to Hemu Village."

"What if this person is harmful to Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi? They are in deep mountains and forests. I feel that they are quite dangerous."

"Don't say these useless things." After hearing Lu Qiang's words, Lu Weiwei quickly retorted:

"I believe in Xiao Yuan's strength. Once in danger, Xiao Yuan's skills are more than enough to deal with an adult man."

"What if it's not the same person?" Lu Qiang put forward a new hypothesis.

Lu Weiwei frowned slightly and looked at Gu Chen.

But at this moment, Gu Chen was extremely calm. After repeatedly observing the traces on the ground for a long time, he said slowly:

"Senior Brother Lu is right. Maybe there was more than one man going up the mountain, maybe there were several people."

Turning to look at everyone, Gu Chen asked again: "Let me ask you, if you usually come to a place like this and go to the mountains, how many of you usually go there?"

"You must go together, it's boring to go alone." Officer Wang heard this and blurted out directly.

Gu Chen snapped his fingers and said, "Yes, if we go to the mountain, then several people must go together, or go together."

"But since Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi go to the mountains together, why can't they form a team?"

After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, everyone looked at each other and felt that it made sense.

Lu Weiwei took a step forward and said, "Junior Brother Gu, if this is really the case, then Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi may have to face a threat."

"Xiao Yuan's skill is more than enough to deal with an adult man, but if there are many people, it's a different matter."

“Think of the bright side in everything.” Officer Wang walked among the crowd and reminded:

"Don't say anything now. This Hemu Village is not only home to Yanzi who hasn't been home for seven years, but also her friend Xiao Yuan."

"Maybe there are other young people who came here, but they were not discovered by the villagers."

Turning to look at everyone, Lu Weiwei continued to explain: "You all saw it today. Although the sun has risen, very few people in the village got up."

"Perhaps people go up the mountain during this time period?"

"Is there a treasure in the mountains?" Officer Wang began to think wildly again.

But Lu Qiang smiled teasingly: "Maybe there really is? After all, Hemu Village was built in the hinterland of Centenary Peak for many years."

"Maybe the older generation in Hemu Village likes to bury some of their valuable things in the mountains."

"Senior Brother Lu, why does it sound more and more like tomb robbing? However, there is only a small waterfall on the mountain and nothing else?"

"It's not up to you to say this." Faced with Lu Weiwei's doubts, Lu Qiang also smiled bitterly and continued:

"Don't say anything now and pay attention to your surroundings. After all, how many people are there on this mountain? We don't know."

"Especially, the fog in this mountain is very heavy, and the vegetation has blocked the mountain roads, so you have to be extra careful when walking."

"In addition, the vegetation is now covered with thick frost, making it dangerous to walk on it. Be careful with slippery feet."

"I know." When Lu Weiwei heard this, she also smiled and said: "Then let's set off now."

After a while of communication, everyone continued walking up the mountain.

At this moment, everyone was a little more wary.

After all, there are other strangers appearing in the mountains, which no one had thought of before.
