I am a super cop

Chapter 2674 Cave Corpse
"Junior Brother Gu? Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing Gu Chen suddenly disappear, Lu Weiwei instantly became anxious.

You have to know that in such an unfathomable cave, disappearance means death.

But just as everyone was panicking, Gu Chen's flashlight lit up again.

"Junior Brother Gu, are you okay?" Seeing Gu Chen appear in her sight again, Lu Weiwei sighed heavily, feeling that she was almost scared to death by Gu Chen just now.

Gu Chen had a serious expression on his face and said slowly, "I accidentally touched the flashlight switch just now. Come over and take a look. I found something here."

Hearing Gu Chen say this, everyone immediately gathered in the direction of Gu Chen.

At this moment, everyone discovered that under a rock, near the underground river, a man was lying there motionless.

"Who is this?" Yuan Shasha looked horrified.

Officer Wang quickly said, "Could it be those two guides?"

"I don't know about this for now." Gu Chen shook his head and quickly found Xu Enping: "Teacher Xu, come and take a look."

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Xu Enping also walked up to the crowd, glanced at the man in front of him, and suddenly his face was shocked, and he quickly said:

"Yes, this person is one of the guides of Pioneer Outdoors."

"Are you sure?" Gu Chen asked.

"Of course I am sure." Xu Enping also nodded and said without hesitation:

"I've seen this person in a selfie shared by an outdoor group before, and one of them looked like this."

Taking a deep breath, Xu Enping squatted down and tried to observe the man's condition.

When the flashlight shone on the man's face, Xu Enping shrank back in fear and instantly sat on the ground:

"Why is it all blood?"

"Someone stabbed his carotid artery with a sharp knife, causing excessive blood loss and death." Gu Chen said casually.

"Did this group of people have an internal conflict?" Lu Weiwei squatted down and continued to examine the body with a flashlight.

Officer Wang also said without hesitation: "It seems that the deceased was attacked suddenly before his death. It can be regarded as a sneak attack."

"And this person could be another guide, or could be Xu Yaxuan."

"Why are they killing each other? Is it for some benefit?" Based on her experience with this kind of assassination, Lu Weiwei quickly realized that the people might have had a conflict of interest.

Yuan Shasha also echoed, "It's probably because of some interests, right? But what kind of conflicts of interest could there be in a cave like this?"

"Maybe they hid some valuables in the cave before? Or it could be a treasure." Xu Enping, who often explores, also expressed his opinion.

"This is most likely the case." Gu Chen sighed and continued to raise the flashlight, using the light to illuminate other areas in the cave.

Then he continued to walk a few steps forward, turned around and said, "Protect the body first, Teacher Xu, the two of us will go to the front to check the situation."

"Okay." As Xu Enping followed Gu Chen and began to experience this kind of adventure, he also began to feel a little excited.

This is much more exciting than taking photos and showing off before. I can just bring up any topic and brag about it in front of that group of outdoor newbies.

This is what he talks about. Xu Enping feels that he is now incredibly strong.

So Lu Weiwei was left at the scene, while Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha protected the scene and continued to investigate.

Xu Enping continued to follow Gu Chen and walked towards the inside of the cave.

Due to the severe shortage of manpower, Gu Chen also urgently needs reinforcements.

So he stopped not far ahead and said, "We should go to the cave entrance to find more people to help, and then the rest of us will continue searching inside."

"I agree." Xu Enping now listens to Gu Chen in everything. He dare not say no to Gu Chen's words.

After all, a dead person just appeared in the cave. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't scared.

So everyone returned to the crime scene.

At this moment, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha had already conducted a comprehensive inspection of the scene.

No signs of fighting were found around.

Seeing Gu Chen and Xu Enping return, Lu Weiwei immediately explained the situation:

"Junior Brother Gu, we have checked the scene and there are no signs of a fight. This guy was attacked by someone unexpectedly from the side."

"He wasn't prepared and ended up getting stabbed."

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and continued: "We need to get this person out now and call for reinforcements at the cave entrance."

"This way we can have personnel continue to enter the cave for investigation."

"Then I'll go. Ask Xiao Yuan to follow me, and we'll go back to the exit of the cave to find someone to help." Officer Wang also volunteered.

Gu Chen nodded in agreement: "Okay, but be careful."

"Don't worry, the way back is marked, it's okay."

Turning his head to look at Yuan Shasha, Officer Wang said, "Xiao Yuan is very careful and attentive. Even if I am dazzled, Xiao Yuan can help me find the mark."

"Then go quickly and come back soon. The three of us will be waiting for you here." Lu Weiwei said.

So after a brief communication at the scene, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha left immediately.

The scene became quiet again.

Due to the shortage of manpower, everyone cannot move forward rashly, so they can only sit around and wait for reinforcements from people outside the cave.

Xu Enping sat on a rock, sighed, and said:

"When playing outdoors, the thing I fear most is encountering emergencies."

"When we were playing outdoors before, we would occasionally come across people who were in distress, but those were lives taken away by nature."

"For example, when we were camping in the snowy mountains, one of our companions did not clean the snow off his tent in time because it snowed heavily at night. As a result, it snowed heavily at night and the heavy snow directly wrapped around his tent."

"He eventually suffocated to death in his sleep."

Having said this, Xu Enping also sighed and continued:

"Another one, when crossing the Grand Canyon, in order to look cool, he had to take a photo on a protruding rock and check in."

"But the protruding rock couldn't support his weight at all. When he was taking pictures, the rock suddenly broke and he fell into the canyon. His body was finally found on a bank downstream."

With a deep sigh, Xu Enping continued, "But these were all killed by nature. It's the first time I've seen someone being stabbed outdoors. It's really incredible."

At the end of his speech, Xu Enping shook his head repeatedly, as if such a situation was unacceptable to him.

Gu Chen consoled her by saying, "Being outdoors is the most challenging time for human nature. You don't have to be so reserved."

"Yeah." Xu Enping nodded silently and continued:
“When I took you into the cave, I knew this might be a dangerous journey.”

"But we have encountered all the bad things, so I am calm now. After the extreme fear, there is nothing to be afraid of."

With a sigh, Xu Enping moved his body and continued, "I just hope we can all get out safely."

"Don't worry, we will definitely get you out safely." Gu Chen could of course see Xu Enping's anxiety.

Everyone stayed in the cave like this, and no one knew how long they waited.

A few lights appeared on the road leading from the cave entrance.

Gu Chen stood up alertly and said, "Maybe the contact person is here."

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Xu Enping also stood up accordingly.

Everyone then realized that it was Officer Wang who came with reinforcements.

"Gu Chen, are you all right here?" Officer Wang walked over and said.

"Everything is normal." said Gu Chen.

"That's good." Officer Wang sighed, turned his head and looked at the many people he brought behind him, and waved his hand and said:

"What are you still standing here for? Bring the stretcher over here and carry the body up to me."

The folding stretcher that was originally prepared for rescue purposes now became a tool for carrying corpses.

Everyone quickly loaded the body onto a stretcher and began to evacuate.

Gu Chen came over and said, "When you carry it back, be careful, especially when you pass through the underground rift valley. There is a dark river next to it."

"Please be careful when you pass that road."

"Understood." Ji Zhe nodded silently, and said without hesitation: "Brother Gu, leave this to us. We have taken some anti-slip measures on our feet, and we will pay attention."

"That's good." Gu Chen patted Ji Zhe's shoulder and signaled Ji Zhe to take the body out first.

Among the reinforcements, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong also came to provide reinforcements.

With the return of Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha, our team has grown a little bit more.

But what was somewhat surprising was that none of Xu Enping's team guides entered the cave.

Maybe he felt that he came here to help, and there was no need to risk his life, so he was a little timid.

This made Xu Enping a little embarrassed, after all, these people were all members of his team.

Being so cowardly really made Xu Enping lose face.

Fortunately, Gu Chen didn't care about these things. After watching Ji Zhe and others take the body away, he slowly said:

"Everyone, please pay attention. Someone has died in the cave. This means the murderer is still active in the cave, so everyone must pay attention to safety."

"Understood." Seeing Gu Chen say this, everyone responded in unison.

Now everyone is united around Gu Chen, and it feels like it's time to find the murderer.

So after a short rest, everyone immediately started moving towards the cave.

This time, the structure inside the cave was more complicated, with many passages that could only be climbed by squatting or lying on the ground.

But despite this, everyone was able to pass it smoothly.

But after everyone had walked for an unknown period of time, Gu Chen, who was exploring the way ahead, discovered a faint light source.

Gu Chen subconsciously stopped and reminded the people behind him: "It seems that we are about to get out of the cave."

Seeing this, Xu Enping hurried to Gu Chen's side and looked at the light source in front of him.

After a long while, he nodded and said, "Yes, there should be an exit ahead. Now that we have walked such a long and winding road in the cave, I think we should have reached the exit."

"Then keep going." At this moment, Gu Chen didn't want to stay for a moment and continued to move forward.

As everyone continued to move forward, the light ahead became brighter and brighter.

After everyone passed through a narrow cave passage, they discovered that there was a huge and spacious cave exit in front of them.

Outside this huge cave, there seemed to be cliffs.

Gu Chen walked out of the cave and came to this huge cave entrance.

Only then did I realize that if a person stood here, against the backdrop of the cave, he would look like a small ant.

"Oh my God!" When seeing such a shocking scene, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh:

"This place actually has a lot of secrets. The cave exit is so big, I feel like there are thousands of people standing here at the same time."

While expressing her emotion, Lu Weiwei took a few steps forward and walked to the entrance of the cave.

Looking up, there was actually a huge sinkhole in front of me.

"How can we get out of such a big sinkhole?" said Lu Weiwei.

"There is always a way out." Gu Chen was not worried about this, because according to the rules of this terrain, there must be a road leading to the outside world.

Xu Enping also took a few steps forward and said slowly: "Judging from the terrain, there should be a path outside this tiankeng."

After he finished speaking, Xu Enping pointed to the path on the left and said, "See? There is a path there."

"But this place looks like someone has been here before. Maybe some brave hikers have been here before, but they didn't tell anyone, so few people know about it."

"It seems so." Gu Chen also took a few steps forward, turned around and said, "Everyone, don't stand here, come with me to check out the situation."

"Okay." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Lu Weiwei was the first to agree.

Not long after, everyone walked out of the cave and came to the sinkhole area.

Since this is a tiankeng with a huge drop in height, there are very lush plants growing around it.

As for the road ahead, Gu Chen did find that some plants had been broken by humans, and it looked like they had been stepped on.

"They should have been here." said Gu Chen.

In Gu Chen's eyes, the "they" referred to here are another guide from Pioneer Outdoor and Xu Yaxuan.

Since everyone has obtained the intelligence, they know that the two guides from Pioneer Outdoor are currently active in this area.

The corpse just found in the cave is the best proof.

But now, everyone seems to have become cautious.

"Junior Brother Gu, there are marks they made here." Gu Chen was still exploring the way ahead, while Lu Weiwei had already discovered that on the right side of the slope ahead, there was a big tree with a red rope tied to its branch.

"It's a road sign." said Gu Chen.

Xu Enping hurried forward to take a look and confirmed, "It's them, yes, they are the ones who stayed here. It seems they have indeed been here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Enping immediately took out his own ribbon and tied it to one side of the red ribbon.
