I am a super cop

Chapter 2795 Luxurious Wooden House
"Not even one?" Officer Wang hesitated after hearing this:
"If it's none of them, then your boss may not have been here. If he hasn't been here, then that's a bit troublesome."

"That doesn't rule out the possibility that he could have come here in another vehicle, right? Previously, when we checked the surveillance footage, we only found that Zhuang Hu had left by car, and now we don't even know where the car is."

"It can be seen that Zhuang Hu's car did not drive to this place. He might have parked it on the side of the road somewhere, and then took another vehicle to come here." Lu Weiwei was also speaking based on the facts.

Officer Wang nodded silently: "Maybe that's the case, but no matter what, since we are here, we have to go to the cabin to verify it."

After Officer Wang finished speaking, Gu Chen asked He Wenjun, "Do other hikers usually live in your boss' cabin?"

"No." He Wenjun shook his head and told the truth:

"That's our boss's own house. He spent a lot of effort to renovate it. He also bought it from a local and renovated it. How could he let other hikers live in it?"

"The house is locked, and only the boss has the key."

After he finished speaking, He Wenjun also took out one of the keys and said, "Before I left, the boss's wife gave me the extra key to the cabin at home, and the other one is in the hands of our boss."

"Okay." Hearing He Wenjun's answer, Gu Chen nodded silently and said:
"So these hikers usually set up tents and camp in the forest?"

"Yes." He Wenjun nodded silently and said without hesitation:

“There aren’t that many people hiking, and they’re all heavily-equipped.”

“Those people usually bring some tents and choose to set up camp near the cabins.”

"Okay." After hearing this, Gu Chen roughly understood what was going on.

Afterwards, everyone started from the village entrance and began to hike along a small path at the entrance of the village towards the forest.

The terrain was relatively flat at the beginning, but later on the terrain began to become undulating.

He Wenjun led the way and reminded everyone, "Just keep walking along the upper reaches of the river. Most of this route is actually along the river."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, and soon everyone arrived at the first wooden bridge.

Since this is an undeveloped area, the bridges here are all simple wooden bridges.

Most of them are made up of a few tree trunks, so walking through them is not a problem.

He Wenjun also explained as they walked: "There are many wooden bridges here, and we will cross a few more later."

"The further you go back, the narrower the wooden bridge becomes, and the back is basically just a tree trunk lying across the river."

"Some are fragile and may have been washed away. We have to rely on luck to get through this time."

"I hope we can have good luck." said Yuan Shasha.

The few of them were chatting while hiking and walking across several wooden bridges.

After walking for an hour, they finally arrived at a destroyed wooden bridge.

The water in the river also began to become turbulent at this moment.

He Wenjun stood in front of them and sighed, "I guessed right. The water level is rising sharply now. This wooden bridge has been eroded by the river for many years and is no longer strong enough. It is only a matter of time before it is washed away."

"Won't the villagers repair it?" Yuan Shasha asked.

He Wenjun shook his head: "Not very realistic. Of course, the villagers will repair it, but the probability of it being washed away is too high, and the villagers don't usually go here."

"During the dry season, there is no need for a wooden bridge. We can just walk along the riverbed."

"That's true." Officer Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "We have to be careful now. It looks like we have to wade across the river."

After he finished speaking, Officer Wang continued to remind: "Everyone, take out the ropes and safety buckles on your body."

As Officer Wang finished speaking, everyone started taking out their equipment.

The rope can be used to its greatest advantage at this moment.

Everyone started to buckle the safety buckles onto the ropes.

Gu Chen and Officer Wang walked in front, using their trekking poles for support, and began to cross the river carefully.

Every step was taken with extreme caution.

As the river was rushing fast, it was extremely difficult for everyone to walk.

Gu Chen crossed the river in a diagonal line, that is, he waded across the river from the river bank and walked downstream when crossing the river, so as to reduce the impact of the river water.

After Gu Chen crossed the river, he quickly used himself as a support and pulled the rope closer.

After crossing the river, Officer Wang also joined in.

After He Wenjun fixed the rope on the other side, he asked Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha to cross the river backwards.

Everyone was walking in a diagonal line, heading directly downstream, to minimize the impact of the river water.

And the last one, He Wenjun, was obviously also an experienced hiker, and he waded across the river easily.

"Not bad." After seeing He Wenjun's major, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but complain:
"It seems like you often go hiking outdoors?"

"It's OK. It's mainly because the boss likes it. The boss and his clients used to attend some business management classes."

"Their team-building hobby is to go hiking outdoors, so since I am our boss's assistant, I also go along."

"Over time, I went from being a novice hiker to an experienced hiker."

"It's mainly to protect our boss's safety outdoors. Basic outdoor skills are no problem. After all, I have passed the outdoor guide certificate. I am also a professional alpine cooperative guide and have climbed a snow-capped mountain at an altitude of 7000 meters."

"Not bad, not bad." Lu Weiwei just praised him a few words. She didn't expect that He Wenjun would become so narcissistic.

Officer Wang looked at the road ahead and said, "Let's hurry up. We have to get to the cabin before dark, right?"

After he finished speaking, Officer Wang looked at He Wenjun again and asked, "He Wenjun, can you make it before dark?"

"Yes." He Wenjun nodded silently and said without hesitation: "We will definitely get there before dark."

"When we get to the cabin, we can dry our shoes there, and it would be best if the boss is there."

"Then let's get going quickly. We need to save time," said Officer Wang.

He Wenjun nodded silently and continued to walk in front of the crowd.

We continued on our way and had to wade across the river several times, but everyone got through it safely.

After crossing the last rotten wooden bridge, He Wenjun also sighed and said slowly: "This is the last wooden bridge. Now we don't have to wade across the river anymore."

"Wow!" Hearing this, Yuan Shasha also let out a long sigh and said slowly: "That's great, otherwise my feet would be too cold to bear it."

"It's important to hurry up and get to the cabin first." Gu Chen said.

Everyone nodded silently and began to quicken their pace.

The main thing is that the sky is starting to darken.

Since this is a forest, the sun usually hasn't really set yet, but now the sun is blocked by these mountains, so the light will become dim. If we can't speed up and get to the cabin, we may have to walk at night.

So the only thing to do now is to speed up and get to the cabin.

Because it is a supply station, it would be best if you could meet Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe. Even if you can't, you can also rest in the cabin.

After all, according to Zhuang Hu's wife and He Wenjun, the supplies in the cabin are sufficient and it is a good place for outdoor rest.

I don’t know how long I walked, but the sky was getting darker and darker.

He Wenjun, who was leading the way, also had his eyes light up, and quickly pointed to an area ahead and reminded:
"I see the cabin, it's just ahead, we're almost there."

"Wait a minute." Hearing He Wenjun's words, Gu Chen took a few steps forward, but found that there seemed to be two tents around the cabin.

Gu Chen immediately became alert and said, "There are other people camping here."

"They might be the owners of the vehicles at the entrance of the village," said He Wenjun.

Officer Wang frowned and said, "Let's go and take a look."

Without giving it much thought, everyone immediately ran towards the cabin.

Soon everyone discovered that there were some faint lights around the two tents.

There were three men in outdoor clothes preparing dinner.

Seeing Gu Chen and others approaching from a distance, the three men in windbreakers were also stunned for a moment.

One of the men, who was wearing glasses and had dark skin, also stood up and walked up to Gu Chen and asked, "Are you guys here hiking too?"

"We are here to look for someone." Gu Chen finished speaking, took out his cell phone, showed the photo of Zhuang Hu in front of this man and asked:

"Have you seen this person?"

"No." The dark-skinned man with glasses also shook his head and explained:

"When the three of us came here, we didn't see anyone else along the way."

"What about the cabin? Have you ever been inside it?" Lu Weiwei asked.

The man with glasses shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I would like to go in, but the door is locked. It may be the house of the locals themselves."

"But I feel that the cabin is decorated quite luxuriously. Through some gaps in the window glass, you can see that the decoration inside is quite luxurious."

“It seems that the owner of this house is also quite good at enjoying life.”

"Okay, thank you." After getting this information, Gu Chen asked again:
"So where are you from?"

"We are from Guangdong Province and we like hiking. This time we passed by Jiangnan City and heard that there is such an unpopular hiking route here, so we wanted to come and experience it." said another strong man.

The man of medium build next to him quickly added: "We learned this from a picture provided by a friend in our outdoor group. He had been here before and recommended it to us."

“So I came here this time to experience it.”

"That means you didn't see anyone else?" asked Officer Wang.

"No, there are only a few of us." Several people replied quickly.

Officer Wang looked at He Wenjun and reminded him, "Go to the cabin."

"Okay." He Wenjun walked straight towards the cabin without hesitation.

Gu Chen and his companions followed closely behind. However, when He Wenjun was about to walk up the wooden steps and open the door with the key, Gu Chen stopped him and said, "Wait a moment, let's check the outside."

After he finished speaking, Gu Chen turned on the high-intensity flashlight and began to check the area around the wooden house.

The others did the same thing. This operation made the three camping outdoor hikers stunned and they began to whisper to each other:
"What are they doing?"

"Looking for something?"

"Why do I feel like they are going to go in? Could this house be theirs?"

"I don't think so?"

……

Several people chatted about this and that, watching Gu Chen and others checking around the house.

The dark-skinned man with glasses also quickly reminded the strong man: "Your face looks familiar."

……

While the people here were still preparing dinner, Gu Chen and his companions on the other side had already finished checking the area around the cabin, and everyone returned to the front row of the cabin.

At this moment, Gu Chen reminded He Wenjun: "You can open the door now."

"Okay." He Wenjun nodded silently, took a step forward, took out the key, and started to open the door.

Since the door was equipped with a high-end anti-theft lock, when He Wenjun turned it, the crisp and pleasant sound made everyone feel the luxury of the decoration.

When He Wenjun unlocked the door and was about to open the door handle, Gu Chen had already put on white gloves and opened the door first.

But the moment the door opened, everyone was shocked by the luxurious decoration inside.

"Oh my God? Your boss is too arrogant. The decoration is almost the same as that of an RV." Officer Wang couldn't help but complain.

But He Wenjun was relatively calm, and said slowly: "It's just like that, mainly because we often have to receive some of the boss's clients here."

"So if the decoration is too bad, it will be embarrassing, and the boss often lives in the house with his clients to discuss business matters together."

“So a good decoration environment, plus everyone living under the same roof, may enhance the friendship between the boss and the customers.”

"It will be easier to talk about business."

"That's right, your boss's business idea is right." Upon hearing this, Officer Wang was also extremely impressed.

Afterwards, everyone started changing into protective gear at the door.

After everyone put on their foot covers, they entered the room and began searching.

Gu Chen also asked He Wenjun to stand at the door temporarily and wait for everyone to go in and check first.

He Wenjun also reminded, "There are a few outdoor power sources under the wooden bed. There may still be some electricity. I charged it for the boss last time."

"Find the socket next to the bed and plug it in directly."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, Gu Chen quickly found several outdoor mobile power supplies under the bed based on He Wenjun's reminder.

Gu Chen pulled one of them out, then found a plug at the head of the bed, plugged it in, pressed the switch, and the whole wooden house suddenly became bright.
