I am a super cop

Although Wang Luoguo was certain that he was the murderer who poisoned A Zhong and several people around him, he firmly disagreed that Xu Tianxia's death had anything to do with him.

In the subsequent transcript, Wang Luoguo also recorded many details, but also confirmed that he had nothing to do with the other falling accident.

Since the investigation into A Zhong's poisoning case has come to light, Gu Chen plans to continue his in-depth investigation and verification in Xiangnan City.

But a call from Officer Wang made Gu Chen change his mind temporarily.

"Brother Wang, are you sure that the girl someone saw in the mountains that day was Xu Yaxuan?"

On the phone, Gu Chen continued to ask questions.

On the other side, Officer Wang also sighed and said, "The key is that the old lady can't speak clearly, she can't speak Mandarin well, and her local dialect is also vague."

"Except for some local elderly people who would guess what he said, few people could understand it."

After a pause, Officer Wang continued, "But what is certain is that Xu Yaxuan did happen. We have only received the news so far. I am going to go there in person. When will you be back?"

"I'll be back soon." Gu Chen thought for a moment and said slowly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you," said Officer Wang.

Gu Chen hung up the phone, and Lu Weiwei came over and asked:
"How's it going, Junior Brother Gu? Any news about Xu Yaxuan?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and said involuntarily:
"Xu Yaxuan disappeared for such a long time, and finally someone found her trace."

"It is said that she appeared in an ancient village, but disappeared again soon after."

"Where is the ancient village?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Yicheng, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan City, is an ancient village in the heart of the forest park," said Gu Chen.

"How could it be such a remote place?" Upon hearing the result, Lu Weiwei was stunned and a little bit unbelievable.

Gu Chen also shook his head: "I don't know the specific situation at the moment, but what is certain is that Xu Yaxuan's appearance must indicate that something happened there."

"Since she came to Jiangnan City, various strange things have been happening. Now it seems that Xu Yaxuan has some plans of her own."

After taking a deep breath, Gu Chen said, "Since Ah Zhong's death has nothing to do with Xu Yaxuan, we must change our thinking as soon as possible."

"Put the focus of the investigation back on Xu Yaxuan."

"She's been lurking for so long, now's the time to find her."

"Brother Wang is already preparing to go over and take a look, so we have to go back quickly."

"Okay, then let's set off immediately and book the tickets now," said Lu Weiwei.

……

……

At 5 p.m. that day, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei returned to Jiangnan North Station, but Gao Hu did not return with Gu Chen.

Gao Hu's colleague He Qian was also temporarily transferred back to Xiangnan City.

Now the cases in Jiangnan City have basically been handed over to the Jiangnan City police for handling.

Meanwhile, in Xiangnan City, Gao Hu and He Qian will continue to conduct an in-depth investigation into Xu Tianxia's case.

The two parties worked closely together to solve the case as soon as possible.

Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong came to pick up Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei. They drove directly to Yicheng.

On the way, Ding Liang, who was driving, also asked Gu Chen: "Is this Xu Yaxuan really that hard to find?"

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said without hesitation: "This Xu Yaxuan has obviously received some professional training, such as counter-reconnaissance or something like that."

"But she is so young, and she has already experienced all this?" Huang Zunlong, who was in the co-pilot seat, was also very curious.

After all, Xu Yaxuan is quite special.

But Gu Chen replied calmly: "Xu Yaxuan is relatively precocious. I mean her thinking. She is also very smart and knows how to deal with the difficulties she encounters under unfamiliar conditions."

"It is a blessing that we can find her in the ancient village of Yicheng this time. I just hope that Senior Brother Wang can find her now."

"Okay." Seeing that Gu Chen said so, Ding Liang also echoed:
"It seems that this Xu Yaxuan is not simple."

……

……

The vehicle sped along the highway. When we got off the highway and drove to the original village in Yicheng, it was already 7 o'clock in the evening.

Since this village is located in the heart of Yicheng's primeval forest, it has very few residents.

Along the way, everyone can see some wood processing factories.

The path leading into the mountain is not very wide.

Plus, now is an important season for fire prevention, so there will be some checkpoints along the way into the mountains.

After Gu Chen and his companions completed the registration again, they drove the vehicle into Gujia Village.

"Is this the place?" asked Gu Chen who was sitting in the back row.

"That's right, Senior Brother Wang and the others are coming here, and they asked us to pick you up and send you here directly," said Ding Liang, who was driving.

The vehicle slowly stopped in the village square. At this moment, there were two other cars from the Furong Branch parked in the parking space.

And there were only a few lights on in the village buildings.

The street lights are all solar-powered, but the light is not very strong and can only barely meet daily lighting needs.

There were two white-haired old men sitting in the pavilion in the square.

Seeing Gu Chen and others getting out of the car, the two old men chatted with each other.

At this moment, a familiar figure walked out of the village.

The man was still holding a bowl of rice. Seeing that the person coming was Gu Chen, Ji Zhe immediately stepped forward to greet him: "Senior Brother Gu, Senior Sister Lu, you are finally back?"

"Ji Zhe? Why are you here?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Oh, everyone went into the mountains to look for people, and left me here to meet them. They knew you were coming." Ji Zhe said.

Gu Chen looked at the dark mountain behind the village and continued to ask Ji Zhe:
"What about Senior Brother Wang and the others?"

"We have been in the mountains for a long time and have not come out yet, and there is no signal in the mountains," said Ji Zhe.

Just at this moment, a thin old lady, with a hunched back, came in front of everyone and said some incomprehensible words to Gu Chen and the others.

Since the dialects spoken in different cities and even counties in the south are different, it is difficult for Gu Chen to understand these dialects.

Moreover, the old lady spoke very vaguely and it was impossible to hear clearly.

But fortunately, the old lady could gesture and made an eating gesture to everyone.

Seeing this, Ji Zhe quickly translated for everyone: "What the old lady means is, you haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go to her house for dinner." "You're right, we flew all the way here and we really haven't eaten yet." Ding Liang said, touching his rumbling stomach.

Huang Zunlong also smiled and said, "It seems that the old man is quite considerate."

"What are you waiting for? The food in my hand is still hot. It's the food that the old lady just prepared. Come with me." Seeing this, Ji Zhe hurriedly greeted everyone.

So the group followed the old lady and came to her home.

The old lady’s house is well decorated and looks more like a villa.

But in such a big villa, the old lady was the only one living there.

There is a black and white photo of an old man hanging in the hall.

From the situation in the photo, you can guess that this should be the old lady’s deceased husband.

Everyone followed the old lady to the kitchen, where the table was already filled with delicious food.

Ji Zhe also quickly explained to everyone: "This table of dishes was prepared by me and the old lady together."

"There are very few visitors to the village, and the old lady rarely sees outsiders, so she insisted on hosting us warmly."

"But Senior Brother Wang and the others had to go into the mountains to search immediately, so I stayed here and cooked this table of delicious food with the old lady."

"Because I knew you guys would come around this time, and it was just a coincidence that you guys arrived just in time."

"Oh, stop talking so much and just thank the old man. I'm so hungry that I can't stand it anymore." Lu Weiwei rubbed her stomach. Lu Weiwei, who is a foodie, never seems to treat her stomach badly.

So after everyone simply thanked the old man, they gathered together and went to the table to eat.

The old lady was very happy to see so many guests coming to her house at once. She kept saying something in a dialect that no one could understand. The general meaning was probably something like "Have a good meal".

Of course, these are just blind guesses by Gu Chen and others.

"By the way, could it be that this old lady was the one who discovered Xu Yaxuan's whereabouts?"

Gu Chen suddenly remembered something and asked quickly.

Ji Zhe nodded silently and said without hesitation: "Yes, the person who found Xu Yaxuan's whereabouts was indeed this old lady."

"What's going on? Tell us quickly." After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she continued to wolf down her food.

Ji Zhe sat up straight and began to explain to everyone:

"At first, the old lady was picking mushrooms in the forest when she found a woman's figure. She said she looked like the missing person notice we posted."

"Because of Xu Yaxuan's disappearance, we issued a lot of notices and posted them all over the city."

"Coincidentally, one of the notices was posted on the village bulletin board."

"The old lady also looked carefully. She called the police and said that the girl she saw seemed to be the one in the photo."

"But because of her disability, she couldn't catch up with the girl at all."

"Especially, she once called out to the girl, but the girl also found her and immediately disappeared into the forest."

"The old lady felt it was a bit suspicious. After all, there hadn't been any outsiders in this place for a long time."

"So she was a little scared, so she called the police and explained the situation to her colleagues at the local police station."

"This time, it was our colleagues from the Yicheng police station who led Senior Brother Wang and the others into the mountains to look for someone."

"So that's how it is?" After hearing Ji Zhe's story, Gu Chen felt that the information provided by the old lady was very crucial, which would determine whether they could find Xu Yaxuan who had disappeared for a long time.

So Gu Chen turned his head to look at the old lady beside him and asked her word by word: "Old lady, is the girl you found the one in the photo?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen opened the photo album on his phone and looked at Xu Yaxuan's photo.

The old lady took a look and then began to babble and gesture.

But Gu Chen was confused. He felt that what the old lady said was a completely alien language. It was not only difficult to understand, but he didn't even know how to listen to it.

The old lady's speech was illogical, she spoke in a haphazard manner, accompanied by some sign language.

Even though Gu Chen was guessing blindly, it was difficult for him to understand what the old lady meant.

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Gu Chen continued to ask her: "Old lady, why did she turn around and leave when she saw you?"

Bba bah bah bah...

The old lady still communicated with Gu Chen in her Martian language.

Gu Chen felt a little overwhelmed. After talking for a long time, he didn't understand a single word.

So he turned his head and looked at Ji Zhe beside him.

Ji Zhe also spread his hands and said helplessly: "Brother Gu, you don't have to look at me. I don't understand either. I can only communicate with her through sign language."

"Then who can be the translator?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"It must be an old man from the village. Wait for me, I'll go find that old man." After Ji Zhe finished speaking, he immediately started walking out the door.

Soon, he pulled a white-haired old man into the kitchen and quickly introduced him to everyone:
"This Mr. Gu can understand what the old lady said."

"Uncle Gu, please come and sit down." Upon hearing this, Gu Chen immediately began to invite Uncle Gu to his side.

And Grandpa Gu began to introduce her to everyone in a familiar manner: "She had a problem with her voice before, so when she spoke, people couldn't understand her. It wasn't like this before."

At the end, Uncle Gu just waved his hand.

"Can you still understand what she said just now?" Gu Chen asked.

"Maybe it's okay. After all, I've known her for many years. I can basically guess the tone of her voice."

"Ever since she had a serious illness, her voice has been like this, but she can still be understood."

"Okay." Seeing that Grandpa Gu could understand more or less, Gu Chen felt relieved. He repeated the question to Grandpa Gu and then asked Grandpa Gu to communicate with the old lady.

The old lady was still vague in her words and used sign language.

Grandpa Gu leaned his head very close, and then communicated in various dialects and various body movements. Then he nodded silently, sat up straight, looked at Gu Chen and said:

"She said that she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms that day, and then she met the girl mentioned in the missing person notice. She said she went to call the girl, but the girl hid when she saw her."

"Then, it quickly disappeared into the forest."

"The old woman was afraid that she had run into something unclean. She was so scared that she almost lost her soul. Then she returned to the village and immediately called the police."

"Is she sure that the woman she met was the one in the missing person notice?" Gu Chen asked again.

The old man nodded vigorously: "Yes, it was that woman. She said that although her eyesight was blurry sometimes, she said that she was not wrong that time. It was because of this that she chose to call the police."
