I am a super cop

Chapter 2679 Small Stone Forest

Since many ancient tombs were discovered near the mysterious village, the direction of everyone's investigation was temporarily adjusted.

The reason is very simple. Xu Yaxuan and those guides came here perhaps with the intention of robbing tombs.

Especially when everyone saw signs of theft in the cemetery, it further strengthened everyone's previous judgment.

But after investigation by Gu Chen and others, they found that the conditions of these tombs were surprisingly consistent, so the burial objects seemed to have been stolen.

What remains are ancient skeletons.

"Everyone, take a break first." Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Gu Chen quickly reminded them.

Everyone sat cross-legged around the weeds, seemingly confused by the many doubts here.

Lu Weiwei also complained, "Why do we feel like we are doing archaeology? Could it be that Xu Yaxuan was also involved in the tomb robbery? But she is so young, she doesn't look like someone who would be involved in such a thing."

"Don't judge a person by his appearance." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, Officer Wang interrupted and said:
"Although Xu Yaxuan is young, this is not an excuse to exclude her. You know, the death of her father Xu Tianxia is a suspicious point in itself."

"Or maybe her father had given her some hints before."

"And what kind of stolen property does this include?"

"Perhaps that's why Xu Yaxuan was dragged into this turmoil."

With a deep sigh, Officer Wang immediately added, "No matter what, I just don't trust this Xu Yaxuan."

"Ever since she left our police station dormitory without saying goodbye, I felt that she was not a good person."

"In other words, her father Xu Tianxia was not a good person either, and before he died, he told her the location of these treasures."

"That's why Xu Yaxuan is not afraid of hard work and must come here, even if he has to hire a guide."

After walking back and forth in front of the crowd twice, Officer Wang said, "This just shows that Xu Tianxia might be one of the main members who stole these collections back then."

"After all, Xu Tianxia has done many jobs before, maybe including this tomb-robbing business."

"Brother Wang's analysis makes sense." Seeing Officer Wang say this, Gu Chen quickly agreed:

"This is consistent with my previous speculation. I believe that everything here seems to be related to Xu Tianxia."

"Moreover, the man who caused Xu Tianxia to fall from the building might also be one of the people who participated in stealing the collections here."

"It's just that everyone has too many secrets. When the relationship is good, maybe everyone can live in peace."

"But after all, this is a shady thing. Once someone, for some reason, urgently needs money."

"Then the tacit understanding we had before might be gone. In serious cases, there might even be a killing spree."

After a pause, Gu Chen looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "The dead guide in the cave can explain everything."

"Judging from the circumstances of that man's death, he was unexpectedly stabbed with a sharp weapon, which means he was completely unprepared at the time."

"There is a high probability that the person who assassinated him was his companion."

"And the fact that there were no signs of a fight at the scene also proves this point."

"When two people both have certain secrets about each other, then when things are peaceful, they both keep in tacit understanding with each other."

"But if there is a problem on one side, then this balanced relationship will collapse in an instant, and then it will be a dog-eat-dog situation."

Gu Chen gave a very good analysis of the situation where people kill each other for their own interests.

This was unanimously agreed upon by everyone.

After all, everyone believed that there was only one possible outcome for the guide's death, and that was that he was brutally killed by his companions.

Why did this happen? Perhaps it was because of interests.

"Officer Gu, I think you can investigate this matter, especially Xu Tianxia. It's just that it's been a long time now, so it will be difficult to investigate."

"However, after hearing your analysis, I feel more and more that this Xu Tianxia might be one of the members who participated in the tomb robbery back then."

"Then, as long as we find the person who participated in the tomb robbery with Xu Tianxia, ​​we can solve the mystery."

Xu Enping's statement was actually very sincere.

Especially it expressed what Gu Chen was thinking.

Gu Chen also wanted to focus on investigating Xu Tianxia’s past career experience.

After all, Xu Tianxia has worked in many professions and has a very rich resume.

But it is often this kind of people who are the most difficult to understand.

"Sure." Gu Chen took a deep breath and reminded everyone, "Let's continue searching for Xu Yaxuan's whereabouts."

Soon, everyone reached a consensus on the spot, which was to continue the investigation along the previous path.

And this time, no one will leave each other's sight.

But as they searched along the dense forest, they unexpectedly came to a small stone forest.

The small stone forests here are of various shapes, giving people a very mysterious feeling.

The small stone forest outside is relatively low, but the further you go in, the height of the stone forest gradually increases.

In the end, everyone found that this place was like a maze.

"Senior Brother Gu, after going in here, can we still get out?" Yuan Shasha was a little worried at this moment.

After all, this place does look like a maze, and the terrain is very complicated.

It can be said that there is no pattern at all.

Gu Chen calmly came to the outskirts of the stone forest and began to observe the traces on the ground.

After a while, the corners of Gu Chen's mouth rose slightly.

Obviously, Gu Chen discovered the other party's traces.

"It seems they have indeed been here." Gu Chen said.

"They? You mean...Xu Yaxuan and another guide?" Xu Enping asked.

"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said without hesitation: "The footprints here are the latest."

"Fortunately, it has rained recently, so the soil on the ground is somewhat loose."

"That way, the opponent's footprints will be very obvious."

"And it's not hard to tell from here that these are the footprints of two people, a man and a woman."

"If there is a correspondence, then it should be most likely Xu Yaxuan and the other guide."

"That makes sense." After listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Officer Wang crossed his arms and felt that such an analysis was reasonable.

Yuan Shasha couldn't help but sigh: "How dare these two people leave? If they were not familiar with the terrain, wouldn't they be trapped to death in this stone forest in a minute?"

"Maybe they have come here to explore the way before? I mean the guide." Lu Weiwei said.

"That means Xu Yaxuan was brought in by those two guides." Yuan Shasha said.

"Do you even need to ask? Now one of the guides has been assassinated, so only Xu Yaxuan and the other guide are left." "Their movement trajectory is very critical now. It seems that they didn't go very far."

"I feel that the two of them might be able to help us get out of the stone forest." Gu Chen said jokingly.

After all, he could use these footprints to find traces of Xu Yaxuan and the guide.

Everyone followed Gu Chen without hesitation and started looking for the past.

Because there were traces, Gu Chen was able to search very quickly.

But at the same time, he was also paying attention to the direction in which he was entering the stone forest.

Gu Chen would casually come across some blue paint.

In this way, you can quickly identify the way back.

This is really important to Gu Chen.

It was not known how long it had been, but Gu Chen, with his back bent, passed through several narrow gaps in the stone forest and finally saw a way down the mountain.

Since the road seemed to be vague, Gu Chen felt that this was in line with the rules of an uninhabited village.

So Gu Chen began to walk along the footprints, but after walking for a distance, the traces disappeared.

There is a small river in front of us, and there are some rotten stones on the river bank.

This once again ruined everyone's plan to find Xu Yaxuan's traces.

"It seems that the clues are interrupted here, which means that Xu Yaxuan is likely to have gone down the mountain, and..."

Halfway through his words, Gu Chen turned his head and looked behind him, then he continued:
"Moreover, I can now conclude that the indigenous people back then transported supplies bit by bit through this passage."

"That also explains why they were able to build so many houses, because many of the materials were bought from the foot of the mountain."

"Let's go down the mountain." Everyone heard Gu Chen's suggestion while wandering around.

"Go back? Back to the village?" asked Officer Wang.

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said without hesitation: "As long as Xu Yaxuan is still in Jiangnan City, she will definitely not be able to escape."

"But now, we must leave here immediately and return to the village to make long-term plans."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Seeing that Gu Chen had a plan, Officer Wang could only agree.

Then he glanced at Xu Enping and saw that Xu Enping meant the same thing.

After searching for a long time in the cave and by the river, everyone unexpectedly discovered an isolated small village.

But as time passed, when everyone arrived at the village at the foot of the mountain, it was already dark.

Ji Zhe, who was ordered to rest at the foot of the mountain, immediately came over to report to Gu Chen:

"Brother Gu, the body has been taken away by the Municipal Bureau's Technical Department. It's Gao Chuanfeng's forensic team."

"I understand." Knowing that it was Gao Chuanfeng who came to take the body away, Gu Chen also breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Gu Chen thought about Gao Chuanfeng starting archaeological research, he smiled knowingly.

But Gu Chen now needs to take everyone to rest.

So Gu Chen found the families in the village who had provided him with help before.

Arrange for everyone to check in separately.

But they have to get together at the specified time.

……

……

At 11 o'clock in the evening, the lights in the large room were still on.

At this moment, Gu Chen is discussing countermeasures with the members:
"Let Senior Brother He focus on investigating the surrounding situation. After all, they have to take those routes to go down the mountain."

"So, first of all, we need Brother He's technical support. Secondly, we must expand the scope of the investigation. They must take transportation to come here."

"This can be investigated by Senior Brother He. If there is any situation, report it immediately."

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

Lu Weiwei also took the initiative to take on this small task, so she quickly took out her cell phone and contacted He Junchao:
"He Junchao, check if there are any vehicles entering or leaving our mountain road. If there are, and they are very close to where we are staying, then check them carefully."

"I understand what you mean. Okay, I will investigate it right now." He Junchao in the office immediately understood what Lu Weiwei meant when he heard Lu Weiwei say this.

Then, everyone waited for a long time again.

At this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone rang.

Gu Chen immediately picked up the phone on the table, swiped the answer button, and put it to his ear: "Brother He, how is the investigation going?"

"Gu Chen, I have indeed found a suspicious person." He Junchao's excited reply came from the phone.

Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly asked again: "What's the situation of the suspicious person you found?"

"That's right." He Junchao on the other end of the phone also took a deep breath and continued:
"You asked me to investigate the situation around your mountain."

"I checked and there were indeed some vehicles passing nearby, but they all looked normal."

"Only one motorcycle looked a little strange. The male rider and female passenger seemed to be very similar to the guide and Xu Yaxuan."

"Can you confirm this?" Gu Chen continued to remind him for fear of any mistakes.

"Of course." He Junchao continued, "I can tell that they left from your side, and both of them were fully armed the entire time."

“Moreover, they were wearing helmets and went directly in the direction of the city.”

"Afterwards, I found out based on their route that they stayed in an abandoned factory for a long time."

"Is he still there? Or has he left?" Gu Chen asked.

He Junchao's reply came quickly on the phone: "I'm not sure about this, but the motorcycles they parked are still there, but it's really hard for us to find them, and we don't know where they went."

"But it's also suspicious to leave this motorcycle here like this."

"If you go over there now, you might be able to run into them. Of course, I'm not sure if they are the two people we're looking for. Don't blame me if you find the wrong ones."

"Of course." Gu Chen was also very excited seeing that He Junchao had helped him a lot.

Afterwards, I communicated a lot of details with He Junchao, and then I found that the two guys on motorcycles seemed to be very similar to Xu Yaxuan and another guide.

Since Gu Chen is still in the village at the foot of the mountain, he must immediately take people to the location mentioned by He Junchao.

If we can find that motorcycle, then maybe we can find Xu Yaxuan and the guide.

So Gu Chen needs to seize the time and save every second.

After a brief communication with He Junchao, Gu Chen immediately took his team members to the abandoned factory.

The village will continue to retain a certain police force.
