I am a super cop

Chapter 2581 The mysterious old man

It can be said that in the current group, everyone seems not too busy. Not long after the short-haired man's message was sent, a man with a profile picture of the sea responded directly with voice:

"Why are you asking this? Isn't there no one going to sea recently?"

"Don't worry about this, just ask if any of you have ever sent tourists out to sea?" The short-haired man also quickly said in the group.

Not long after, another man whose avatar looked like a boat also made a voice reply:

"Don't those who go to sea recently go to breeding bases?"

"I'm asking tourists, has anyone sent tourists out to sea?" the short-haired man continued to reply in the group.

But at this moment, the entire group suddenly became quiet, and no one responded.

Ten minutes later, Lu Weiwei, who was a little impatient with waiting, also hurriedly urged the short-haired man: "How is it? Has anyone replied?"

"Uh." He looked down at his phone. The short-haired man shook his head and said, "Not yet."

"How could this happen? Could it be that these two people really disappeared out of thin air? But they disappeared out of thin air, where is the luggage?" Officer Wang now feels that the situation is getting more and more strange.

At least many of the questions don't make sense.

"But there is no news here, so the police comrades suspect that the two tourists may have gone to sea on a boat owned by the boss of some boat."

The short-haired man nodded silently, and then continued to send voice messages to the group: "Some police comrades are here to look for two missing tourists. It is said that these two people came to our colorful village before they disappeared."

Gu Chen also replied calmly.

"If you know the news, please tell me... Whoosh!"

Time passed by, and 15 minutes later, the short-haired man sighed helplessly, spread his hands, and explained:

"Maybe no one really goes out to sea to take these two people. Why don't you go to other places to ask? There are other things and you can't stay here forever."

"Sorry to bother you, have you met these two people? They came to your Color Village just a few days ago."

"Aren't there still a few families who haven't asked? Let's ask again." Gu Chen maintained a calm attitude.

As a result, everyone fell into searching mode again.

"I haven't seen it either."

"Please help us ask again." Although he knew there was little hope, Officer Wang still wanted to try harder.

At this moment, the white-haired old man was still sitting there motionless.

Then he passed through the cracks in the house and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lu Weiwei glanced at the houses at the corner, nodded silently, and continued walking towards those houses with the color pictures of Gu Jun and Zhang Li.

"You're welcome, I'm leaving then." After a brief greeting with everyone, the short-haired man also followed the path of the bald man and disappeared directly into the alleyway of the house.

Everyone was doing the final inspection work, and Gu Chen was following behind everyone, observing the colorful village brick by brick.

Gu Chen stopped and observed carefully, and found that the old man seemed to be quietly in a daze.

"never seen it."

But the sound of Gu Chen's footsteps going up the steps was enough to reach the ears of the white-haired old man.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that the only way to find clues is to go door to door.

So Officer Wang could only wave his hands and said gratefully: "Although I didn't find anyone, I still want to thank you."

……

"Then you go back." Yuan Shasha said.

"Sorry I haven't seen it."

But the bald man looked at his phone at this moment and quickly explained to everyone: "I have to go home, there are some things at home."

"Okay, then you continue to stay here with them." As the bald man spoke, he couldn't help but pat the short-haired man on the shoulder twice, and then walked up the stone steps.

Everyone looked at each other and could only follow Gu Chen's arrangements.

"Keep looking. Don't we still have many homes that we haven't visited yet? Continue searching. This is the stupidest, but at the same time, the most effective way."

"Have you met these two men?"

But when Gu Chen was walking uphill, he found a white-haired old man sitting motionless at a pavilion on the roadside.

Moreover, when Gu Chen passed by this uphill section just now, the other party also looked at him.

Gu Chen simply walked along a narrow stone step on the roadside and walked directly to the pavilion.

"Okay." Listening to what the short-haired man said, he thought that he had tried his best and there was nothing he could do if he couldn't find any clues.

As the voice was sent, everyone seemed to be waiting again.

Gu Chen looked puzzled and slowly walked forward, then walked around to the old man.

So Gu Chen concluded that this white-haired old man should know that someone was standing behind him.

Questions and answers like this almost always have the same result. Lu Weiwei's mouth is dry, but she has gained nothing. She returns to Gu Chen with a frustrated face and sighs helplessly:

"Junior Brother Gu, you said you haven't seen him before, how can you deal with this?"

However, the news that everyone was looking forward to has still not appeared.

Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen with a frustrated face and said helplessly:

"Junior Brother Gu, what should we do now? It doesn't feel like these two are going to sea either?"

"Old man." Gu Chen called casually, but the other party seemed to have no intention of replying.

"and you?"

At this moment, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Officer Yuan Shasha and Officer Xiaozhuang were also coming to inquire.

At this time, Gu Chen found that the old man had his eyes closed, as if he was resting his mind again.

Gu Chen knew how intrusive he was, so he squatted down, keeping his eyes at a parallel position with the old man, and asked again:

"Have you met these two men?"

When the uncle heard Gu Chen's inquiry, he opened his eyes slightly and looked confused.

"Have you seen these two people?" Seeing this, Gu Chen brought the picture to him again, trying his best to let the old man see their appearance clearly.

But after looking at the picture in Gu Chen's hand, the old man replied calmly:

"This is not the place you should stay, please leave immediately."

"What did you say?" After hearing what the old man said, Gu Chen frowned, thinking that the old man said something wrong.

So Gu Chen asked again: "You just said that this is not the place we should stay?"

Seeing that the old man closed his eyes at this time, he seemed to have fallen into a meditative state again.

Gu Chen was immediately curious about the old man's strange behavior, and continued to ask: "Uncle, what did you just say? Can you say it again?"

"You mean, this is not the place we should stay, right?" "That's right." At this moment, the old man responded slowly after listening to Gu Chen's inquiry.

Gu Chen frowned, feeling that the old man seemed to mean something, so he continued to ask:

"Uncle, I don't understand, what do you mean by that?"

Seeing that the uncle didn't seem to respond, Gu Chen quickly took out his police card, showed it in front of the uncle and said:

"Uncle, I am a police officer and I am currently investigating two missing persons."

"And these two missing persons had gotten off the car at the Colorful Village intersection before they disappeared."

"So we suspect that these two people are still in Color Village, but there are no clues about them here."

Seeing that he had said a lot, but the old man still seemed to ignore him, Gu Chen was very curious.

So Gu Chen asked again: "Uncle, did you hear me?"

"I've said what needs to be said. This is not the place you should come to. Leave quickly or you will regret it."

After the old man said this slowly, he slowly picked up the crutch beside him, and then walked towards the house in front of him little by little.

This made Gu Chen confused, but he didn't know if the old man's words had any other meaning.

But at this moment, Gu Chen also discovered that Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Officer Yuan Shasha and Officer Xiaozhuang, who were conducting door-to-door inquiries, had also arrived at the door of the old man's house.

Seeing Gu Chen following behind the uncle, Lu Weiwei also quickly asked: "Junior brother Gu, have you asked this family before?"

Gu Chen did not reply immediately, but quickly followed the uncle and asked: "Uncle, how many people live in your family?"

"It's just me." The uncle answered quickly this time. He directly opened the unlocked door and walked in slowly.

Gu Chen and the others looked at each other, and then followed the uncle into the living room.

The uncle's house is not that big, with only two floors, and the living room seems much smaller than other colorful village houses.

But judging from the decoration and placement of items inside, it seems that the uncle lives here alone.

"Living alone." Gu Chen was still guessing about the situation in his mind. Yuan Shasha on the side approached Gu Chen and reminded him.

Then he pointed to the old shoes on the shoe rack at the door.

"Well, maybe he lives alone." Gu Chen said.

However, at this time, the uncle had already walked to his room and seemed not to care about Gu Chen and others standing in his living room.

After entering the house, he even closed the door.

"Uh……"

With the sound of the door slamming, everyone's bodies were shaken.

Lu Weiwei looked confused and leaned towards Gu Chen to ask, "Junior brother Gu, what's wrong with this old man? Did you provoke him?"

"No." Gu Chen also felt quite awkward. He obviously just communicated a few words with the uncle, but the uncle walked directly back to the room.

Compared with the various situations everyone encountered before, Gu Chen felt more and more that the residents here did not seem to welcome outsiders to their homes.

"Let's go." Seeing that it was not a good idea to stay in someone else's living room, Officer Xiaozhuang could only remind everyone to get out of the house.

When everyone came to the small open space at the door of the house, Gu Chen asked about everyone's situation:

"How was your investigation just now? Did you find anything new?" Gu Chen asked.

Lu Weiwei shook her head, also looking frustrated: "It's still the same as before, no clues at all."

"I showed them the photos of Gu Jun and Zhang Li, but no one recognized them."

Sighing heavily, Lu Weiwei shook her head helplessly: "I don't even know what we should do next."

Officer Xiaozhuang glanced in the direction of Gu Chen, then hurriedly came over and asked, "Gu Bureau, did you communicate with this old man just now?"

"We briefly exchanged a few words," Gu Chen said.

"Did you say something unpleasant to make this old man angry?" Officer Xiaozhuang asked again.

Gu Chen shook his head: "I didn't provoke him, nor did I say anything unpleasant."

"That's strange." After listening to Gu Chen's explanation, Officer Xiaozhuang also looked surprised. Then he glanced at the uncle's house and said with some confusion:

"Looking at his appearance just now, I felt like he was not happy, so he just locked himself in the room."

"At first, I thought you provoked him."

"How is that possible?" After hearing what Officer Xiaozhuang said, Lu Weiwei couldn't sit still for a while, and quickly stood up and clarified to Gu Chen:

"Junior Brother Gu has always been liked by others, and he is always polite to others. How could he provoke this uncle?"

"If the uncle is unhappy and keeps a straight face, then it must be his own problem."

Lu Weiwei took a deep breath and wanted to find out the specific situation. Then she turned around and asked Gu Chen again:

"So Junior Brother Gu, what happened just now? What's going on with this uncle?"

"I don't know either." Gu Chen shook his head and said slowly:

"I just asked him about the whereabouts of Gu Jun and Zhang Li, but he didn't reply much. When I asked again, he just said, this is not the place we should stay."

Sighing softly, Gu Chen also sighed helplessly: "So I don't know, what does he mean by saying that?"

"Isn't that where we should be?" Officer Xiaozhuang was stunned for a moment after hearing what Gu Chen said.

Yuan Shasha also quickly asked: "So, does he want us to leave here as soon as possible?"

"Yeah." After thinking briefly for a few seconds, Gu Chen nodded silently and continued to explain:

"If you take it literally, that's what it means."

"Eh?" Feeling that things seemed to be getting weirder and weirder, Lu Weiwei crossed her arms to her chest and held her chin, and said thoughtfully:

"This old man looks very old, and he looks like an elder in the village. Could it be that there is something wrong with his brain and he started talking nonsense?"

"It's also possible." Officer Wang heard this and said slowly:

"It's completely possible. Old people, after a certain age, it's easy for them to lose their minds."

"Normally, because I don't have many peers to communicate with, I often talk to myself in the air. This is not surprising."

"But I feel..." As soon as Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen turned around and said:

"But I feel like this man has a firm expression and doesn't want to look like he has some brain problems."

"Especially the look in his eyes, that determined look, seemed to want to tell me to leave this place as soon as possible."

After a pause, Gu Chen said again: "He said we shouldn't stay here. Such subconscious things seem to need some basis. Otherwise, why would he say this?"

"That's right." After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei also agreed:

"He must be basing his words on something before he said this. This kind of subconsciousness is engraved in his mind just like eating."

"Then Lu Weiwei, tell me, why did he let us leave?" Officer Wang also said jokingly when he heard this.

Lu Weiwei scratched the back of her head and said slowly: "Could it be that this place is dangerous and the old man is just trying to persuade us to leave quickly?"
