I am a super cop

Chapter 2796: Map Shines into Reality
"Wow!" When seeing the scene in front of them, everyone exclaimed in unison, as if they were shocked by the decoration of the house.

Although this cabin looks ordinary from the outside, it seems to be just an ordinary wooden house.

But the luxurious interior decoration is simply jaw-dropping.

"This...you're telling me this is a log cabin? This level of luxury is too exaggerated, right? When I shone the flashlight just now, I didn't feel it was so exaggerated."

"But now that the light is on, I suddenly have the illusion that this is not outdoors."

Officer Wang was also shocked by the luxury of the place.

In comparison, He Wenjun was calmer than Xu Du and said slowly: "A place to entertain customers can't be too shabby. In fact, our boss is quite particular."

"Don't worry about these for now. Take a look first to see if there is anything in here that your boss carries with him?" Gu Chen also reminded.

When He Wenjun heard this, he immediately became serious.

So everyone started to check the house.

But after a round, He Wenjun shook his head and said, "I didn't see it."

"No." Gu Chen shook his head and said slowly: "Your boss has been here."

"What do you mean?" He Wenjun frowned when he heard it, and seemed to be unclear how Gu Chen made that judgment.
Gu Chen squatted down and pointed out a corner on the carpet.

"What is this?" Lu Weiwei took a look and quickly squatted down to examine it carefully.

But Lu Weiwei soon discovered that there were some traces of mud on one corner of the blanket.

Moreover, the marks seemed to be very new. Lu Weiwei was immediately overjoyed and quickly said, "Yes, the marks are very new. This mud mark is very new, which means that he has just been here for a short time."

"Because the weather was relatively humid, the mud did not dry up quickly."

"And this mud must have been brought here from someone's trouser legs."

"That means, this Zhuang Hu has been to the cabin?" Yuan Shasha also felt a little strange when she heard it.

Gu Chen said slowly: "In fact, there are many traces like this in the room, such as here and here."

Gu Chen found several subtle clues in a flash.

Because it is too small, it is difficult to see with the naked eye.

He Wenjun was also full of admiration at this moment. He gave Gu Chen a thumbs up and said, "Comrade police officer, you have a really good eye."

"Only your boss has the key here, which only means that your boss has been here." Gu Chen said.

"Maybe. After all, the keys are usually in the hands of the boss." He Wenjun also admitted at this moment.

"Where is that person? Did he go into the forest?" Lu Weiwei said.

Gu Chen's mind suddenly clicked and his eyes lit up, as if all the previous clues suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Could it be that the old sheepskin map actually marks the location here?"

Gu Chen thought to himself, and quickly recalled the scene of himself looking at the old sheepskin map.

On the sheepskin map, there is indeed a river whose direction is similar to the river that I passed by when I went up the mountain today.

Moreover, Gu Chen clearly remembered that they crossed the small bridge without a seat, and that the river had 8 bends.

And when I looked at the distribution of lines on the map, they were indeed very similar to the river I had walked across.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen was somewhat overjoyed.

After all, I have never been able to figure out where that old parchment map marked.
But now, after a trip to Nanshan Forest Park, it seems that all the answers can be solved.

Fortunately, Gu Chen has a master-level memory, and the scene on the map he saw at that time is still vivid in his mind.

Soon, Gu Chen clearly remembered that if he went further into the forest, he would pass through a canyon, and that was the entrance to the section of road marked in detail on the map.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "Zhuang Hu must have brought Zhuang Tianhe into the heart of the forest."

"But now it's getting dark..."

"We have to keep looking." Gu Chen interrupted He Wenjun before he finished speaking.

He Wenjun also hesitated and said slowly: "But now, it's dark. The dark forest is full of many unknown risks. It's very dangerous to walk at night."

"But what if Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe are in there? Do we still have to wait? What will be the consequences if there is a conflict between the two of them? Have you thought about it?" Gu Chen replied sternly.

He Wenjun was immediately speechless. After thinking for a few seconds, he said helplessly:

"Okay, I'll follow your lead, but I want to remind you that the roads here are not easy to walk on at night. If it were me, I would advise you to go at daybreak."

After a pause, He Wenjun continued: "Of course, if you insist on going, I can accompany you."

"This is the only solution." Seeing He Wenjun's emotions, Gu Chen also explained:
"We are racing against time now. If we don't act now, we may lose the clues."

After taking a deep breath, Gu Chen continued, "What we need to do now is to take action, catch up with Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe, and find them as soon as possible."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Officer Wang seemed impatient and said slowly, "We have enough equipment, but we didn't bring a tent. We only have outdoor raincoats."

"That's enough." Gu Chen interrupted Officer Wang and said:
"I've checked the raincoats. This kind of raincoat can be used as a tent by unbuttoning it."

"Use a rope to pull out a line, and then put the raincoat on it, it can be used as a tent to protect against wind and rain."

"Okay then." Seeing that Gu Chen had already checked the equipment, Officer Wang felt there was nothing to say.

Everyone rested at the door of the house for a while, and then locked the door of the cabin again.

At this moment, the three men setting up the tent outside were also staring at Gu Chen and his companions.

Seeing Gu Chen and his companions walking into the mountain, the man with glasses quickly reminded them:
"Hey, are you guys going to the mountains?"

"Yes." Gu Chen looked back at him and nodded silently.

"Then I advise you to go tomorrow. It's already dark now. It's dangerous to go to the mountains after dark."

"There is no other way. We go to the mountains to look for someone," said Yuan Shasha.

"Looking for someone? Looking for whom? The missing hiker?" asked the man with glasses.

Yuan Shasha nodded silently: "About the same."

"Wait a moment." Seeing Yuan Shasha's words, the man with glasses quickly walked to the middle of the crowd, looking up and down at Gu Chen and the others, and said:
“Are you also donkey friends?”

"Yes." Officer Wang nodded silently and said, "We are also travel buddies."

"Could it be that you are looking for companions? Aren't you with your companions?"

"It's like this." Seeing that the man with glasses asked a lot of questions, Officer Wang quickly explained: "There are two hikers, who may be in the mountains at the moment."

"We have to find them now, otherwise they will be in danger if they stay in the mountains."

"Well, okay then." Seeing this, the man with glasses also said quickly: "How about you take us with you and we go with you to find someone?"

Seeing that no one responded, the man with glasses said, "There is strength in numbers. We have all the equipment."

"Besides, walking at night is not safe. We are all experienced hikers and have some experience in walking outdoors at night."

"We are with you, so we can look after you. Besides, we have many experiences in rescuing missing hikers. I believe we can help you?"

"This... this is so embarrassing?" After hearing what the man with glasses said, Lu Weiwei suddenly felt that this was a god-like assist.
The man with glasses didn't care whether Gu Chen and the others agreed or not, and immediately started to call the two companions behind him and called them over.

Afterwards, he communicated with the two people in Cantonese, probably planning to go into the mountains at night and follow this group of people to search for the missing hikers.

The other two outdoor hikers seemed very enthusiastic as well. When they heard about this, they immediately agreed.

After the communication, the man with glasses looked at Gu Chen and said with a smile: "We have already communicated. We are ready to go into the mountains with you. Is that ok?"

"Thank you very much." Seeing the experienced hiker offering to help, Gu Chen couldn't refuse.

Moreover, there are indeed many unstable factors when going into the mountains at night.

And it is true that there is strength in numbers. If we can get help from these veteran hikers, we can indeed increase the probability of finding Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Tianhe.

Combined with the details of the sheepskin map that Gu Chen remembered in his mind, Gu Chen felt that he really needed more help.

So Gu Chen readily agreed.

So everyone waited for a while, and the three hikers packed up their equipment that had been left outside and came to everyone with light equipment.

The rest of the equipment was left in the tent.

"Let's go." The man with glasses seemed very excited, as if helping to find missing hikers was a very interesting thing.

Officer Wang was quite happy about the sudden addition of three experienced hikers.

So we all went hiking in the mountains together.

Since these three experienced hikers were here for the first time, they were smart and had downloaded the offline map early on.

And there were traces of hikers who had been here before, so these people were more confident.

The man with glasses also walked up to Gu Chen and reminded him, "Do you have any trace of this place?"

"No." Gu Chen shook his head.

"Have you been here before?" the man with glasses asked again.

Gu Chen continued to shake his head: "No."

"How can that be possible? You have never been here before, and you don't know the trails here. It's late at night, and it's very dangerous."

"We know the danger, but I know how to get here." Gu Chen said slowly.

Seeing that Gu Chen looked confident, the man with glasses was skeptical. He then opened his offline map and started walking along the route.

But in fact, there is only one way into the mountain.

Gu Chen hesitated and looked at the route map on the sheepskin map, so he was relatively clear about the route here.

Although the three experienced hikers showed enough enthusiasm and professionalism, these things were nothing in front of the absolutely powerful brain.

When he reached a fork in the road, Gu Chen went straight to the right.

But the man with glasses saw this and quickly stopped Gu Chen and said, "Hey, hey, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen turned his head and looked at the man with glasses.

The man with glasses also waved his hand: "No, no, we should go to the left. The trajectory is on the left."

"Sir, we are not here to hike. We are here to look for someone. That road is not where we are going now."

After he finished speaking, Gu Chen continued, "If we go to the right now, that is the correct route to enter the heart of the forest, not the road on the left."

"Huh?" It seemed that Gu Chen had never been here before, but he was very familiar with the terrain here.

The man with glasses was confused for a moment, and asked curiously: "How do you know?"

"I heard about it from a local." Gu Chen didn't explain too much, but walked directly to the right.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and He Wenjun also followed Gu Chen.

Seeing this, the three experienced hikers had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to keep up with everyone else.

He Wenjun took two steps at a time and walked to Gu Chen quickly and asked:

"How do you know this is the heart of the forest? To be honest, this is true."

"Like I said, a local told me about it before, so I remember it. Although I haven't been here, the route here is pretty close."

Gu Chen said it very easily, but it made He Wenjun a little dizzy and he didn't know whether what Gu Chen said was true.

However, He Wenjun had indeed been here many times, so he was quite familiar with the route.

From the very beginning, Gu Chen was very familiar with the routes and terrain here. It seemed impossible that he had no guidance from the locals.

So he continued to follow Gu Chen.

Everyone was walking with headlamps on and keeping a certain distance.

In order not to reveal that he knew about the sheepskin map, Gu Chen deliberately stood at a fork in the road, pretending that he didn't quite remember the route, and asked He Wenjun to lead the way.

All you have to do is control the route and don't go astray.

Lu Weiwei walked up to Gu Chen and asked him quietly, "Junior Brother Gu, how do you know the route here so well? Did a local really tell you?"

Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei beside him and whispered, "Sheepskin map."

"Sheepskin map? Could it be?" Lu Weiwei understood immediately after hearing it and stopped asking.

Obviously, the terrain on the sheepskin map that Gu Chen mentioned was drawn here. No wonder Gu Chen was so familiar with the route into the heart of the forest.

It seems that the old sheepskin map is indeed the map of this place.

Seeing this, Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha quickly followed Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

"What are you talking about?" Officer Wang asked in a low voice.

So Lu Weiwei whispered about the sheepskin map to Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha.

After hearing this, several people couldn't help but look at Gu Chen.
