I am a super cop

Chapter 2797 Don’t take the usual path

Originally, no one thought too much about it, and no one even thought about the specific location of the sheepskin map?

But now, after Gu Chen's analysis and judgment, it seems that the old sheepskin map that is worthless to everyone has a new use.

Because they spoke in low voices, He Wenjun, who was leading the way, and several experienced hikers following behind, did not hear them.

As the sun completely set, the entire forest suddenly fell into darkness.

There is no light pollution here, and the stars in the sky can be seen clearly with the naked eye.

"He Wenjun, wait a moment." Gu Chen suddenly called out to He Wenjun in front of him.

He Wenjun stopped, turned to look at Gu Chen and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let's not go this way, let's go this way." Gu Chen pointed to the other side.

He Wenjun was stunned: "But this is not a road? This is a forest."

"I know, just listen to me and change the route." Gu Chen said.

"No." He Wenjun began to be confused by Gu Chen after hearing this.

Speaking of Nanshan Forest Park, I have been there many times with my boss Zhuang Hu.

In terms of familiarity with this place, I am definitely better than Gu Chen.

But it seemed unbelievable that Gu Chen, a policeman who had never been here before, actually asked to take the lead in the route.

Especially the route that Gu Chen requested to change, there was a complete forest ahead and there was no road to take at all.

So when Gu Chen made this request, He Wenjun was completely confused and didn't know what Gu Chen was thinking.
Lu Weiwei, who walked to He Wenjun's side, quickly patted He Wenjun on the shoulder and reminded him:
"Don't think about anything, just follow us, you won't go wrong."

"But what kind of way are you walking? This is not the way you walk on foot." He Wenjun was a little dissatisfied.

But Officer Wang also reminded him, "Did your boss tell you that you must follow the established route?"

"That's not the case." said He Wenjun.

"That's it, let's keep going," said Officer Wang.

Watching Gu Chen and the others walking towards the woods so resolutely and confidently, He Wenjun, who was standing where he was, was stunned and had no idea what was going on.

The three hikers who arrived later looked at each other, seemingly confused as well.

The man with glasses touched He Wenjun's shoulder and asked, "Did you let them leave like this?"

"I didn't do that. They chose to leave this way." He Wenjun also looked aggrieved.

The man with glasses frowned and wondered, "Anyway, we are here to look for someone together, but the current walking trajectory has seriously deviated from the trajectory I downloaded earlier."

With a faint sigh, the man with glasses continued, "Anyway, I have never seen anyone looking for someone this way, but I don't think it's safe."

After a pause, the man with glasses looked at his two companions and said, "Mark this area so that you don't get lost."

"Okay." Upon hearing this, the strong man immediately took out the colorful ribbons from his backpack and began to tie them up on the nearby branches.

Another man began to mark his current trajectory on an offline map so as not to get lost when he returned.

After completing the basic operations, the four of them quickened their pace and began to keep up with Gu Chen and the others.

Gu Chen, who was walking in front, has always been the leader of the group.

Where to go? How to go? Gu Chen knew it very well, because he had memorized all the lines on the sheepskin map.

Especially those altitude coils, Gu Chen remembered them clearly. Judging from the direction of the altitude line, there must be a canyon here.

The trees ahead seemed to begin to become sparse. Not long after, Gu Chen had indeed passed through the woods, and the terrain ahead was indeed the same as the altitude coil on the sheepskin map.

Gu Chen sighed deeply and felt that this sheepskin map was of great use.

He Wenjun and others who arrived later were also panting.

When they saw the magnificent canyon terrain before them, they looked at each other.

"What? Haven't you been here before?" Yuan Shasha asked He Wenjun.

He Wenjun shook his head and said without hesitation: "We didn't take this route before. Instead, we kept walking along the road over there. We would go around a big circle and come to the location below the canyon."

After he finished speaking, He Wenjun started gesturing with his hands.

"It seems that this route will obviously shorten the distance a lot," said Yuan Shasha.

"Maybe. Hey? Where are we going?" He Wenjun still doesn't know where Gu Chen's destination is.

At this moment, Gu Chen was standing on the edge of the cliff, quietly watching everything around him.

"Let's start the search from here." Gu Chen said.

"Here? You mean, start recruiting people from here?" He Wenjun was stunned when he heard this.

He looked around and randomly shone the flashlight a few times, saying, "This is the top of the canyon. What's the point of starting to look for people from here?"

"The view from a high vantage point is broad," said Gu Chen.

He Wenjun was speechless for a moment.

Yes, what Gu Chen said was absolutely right. Starting to look for someone from this place was indeed condescending.

The view is good when looking for people from here.

He Wenjun was impressed by Gu Chen's way of doing things. He sighed and agreed, "Okay, let's start looking for people from here. Should we go down the mountain?"

"Yes." said Gu Chen.

"Okay, I understand." He Wenjun nodded silently and said nothing more.

So everyone started to search along the direction of the mountain.

Three experienced hikers came to the far left and gathered together, chatting.

It seems to express dissatisfaction with Gu Chen.

It’s mainly the roads here, or rather the lack of roads at all.

Moreover, Gu Chen is relatively young. Letting a young man lead the way, and this young man has never been here before, made everyone show more distrust towards Gu Chen.

Especially these experienced hikers, they are all accustomed to walking along a set route.

But now they have completely deviated from the hiking track, which makes them a little panicked.

After all, even the most experienced hikers are afraid of getting lost. Gu Chen led everyone to look for the right side and walked down the mountain.

Lu Weiwei quickly walked to Gu Chen and asked curiously, "Junior Brother Gu, which direction are you going?"

Gu Chen pointed to a location ahead and said, "If I'm not mistaken, there is a path at the foot of the mountain over there that can go through this canyon and reach another area of ​​the forest."

"We came here now to be able to look down from a high place with a broad field of vision, which makes it easier to find people."

"If we listen to them and follow the trail, we will most likely have to make a big detour and end up at the bottom of the canyon."

"How can the view be widened like this? The view is blocked by vegetation. It's futile to look for people."

"That's right." After listening to Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei instantly understood Gu Chen's intention.

Indeed, if you follow the previous hiking route, your vision will be completely blocked by vegetation.

Gu Chen chose a route that cuts through the woods. Although it is more difficult to walk, it can greatly shorten the distance and allow him to reach the best observation angle of the canyon.

It would be a great angle to look down the mountain from here.

In the cover of night, the search for someone continued, but Gu Chen had already walked to the foot of the mountain, keeping a great distance from everyone else.

Lu Weiwei followed closely beside Gu Chen and began to move closer to him: "Junior Brother Gu, we are already at the foot of the mountain, but we don't see anyone. Where should we go next? Over there?"

"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said without hesitation: "It is written on the sheepskin map that there is a route leading to this side."

“It’s almost like walking through the canyon, but it’s off the beaten path because it’s in the middle of two canyons in terms of altitude.”

"Then I'll go and get the others to hurry up, and we'll all go this way together?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded silently, and said without hesitation: "Senior Sister Lu, please be safe. Find the people and ask them to come over."

"Okay." Lu Weiwei nodded silently, and quickly ran away.

Not long after, when Gu Chen was still analyzing the terrain, the others also came over here one after another.

He Wenjun is in good physical condition and doesn't seem to be tired at all.

Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha's breathing were relatively steady, but the three so-called experienced hikers were now exhausted and out of breath.

It seems that such a formation is too harsh for them.

This made Gu Chen a little puzzled. After all, judging from their various equipments, they seemed professional and could be considered as experienced hikers.

But how far had they walked? They had only walked through a forest and then down to the bottom of the canyon. With this intensity, the three of them were already panting with exhaustion. They didn't look like experienced hikers at first glance, but more like a group of novice hikers.

"Are you okay? Do you need to rest?" Gu Chen saw that the three of them seemed to be in poor condition, so he asked kindly.

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, the man with glasses quickly said, "Rest... take a break. Walking like this is really tiring."

"No way? We didn't walk much. Then where do you usually go?" Yuan Shasha was puzzled when she saw several people around her who were exhausted and panting.

The man with glasses waved his hand and said, "Maybe it's because we haven't walked at night for a long time, so we are not used to it."

"Yes." The man with glasses finished speaking, and the strong man quickly followed up:
"We usually don't walk at night. At this time, we all huddle in the tent to sleep. Maybe we walked too fast just now, so we lost our pace a bit."

"Yes." At this moment, another hiker also started to speak.

The three of them made various excuses for themselves, which made Gu Chen become a little alert.

After all, Gu Chen has met many hikers over the years, and you can tell what their level is by following Gu Chen for a while.

But these three people seem to be the kind of hiking novices.

But with this level of skills, the three still dared to say that they were experienced hikers and had saved many outdoor people in distress.

Now it seems that this boast was a bit exaggerated.

Gu Chen also saw through it but didn't say anything. After all, everyone came here to help, and there was strength in numbers, so Gu Chen quickly said:
"Then let's take a break first. Everyone stop to rest your feet and drink some water."

"Okay." Upon hearing Gu Chen's arrangement for a rest, the man with glasses quickly found a place to sit down, then took out a cup and began to gulp down water.

Seeing how poorly the others performed, Gu Chen sighed, turned around and came to He Wenjun and asked:
"He Wenjun, which route do you take every time you come here to hike with your boss?"

"That one." He Wenjun pointed to the opposite canyon and said:
"We always come here from that side. There is a narrow path along the middle of the canyon. We walk from that side to this side and enjoy the scenery along the way."

"And there is a river on the other side of the canyon. It is the river we passed by when we came here. At this part of the canyon, the water flow is still quite turbulent."

"Have you been here?" Gu Chen pointed to a location in the middle of the canyon.

He Wenjun was stunned for a moment, and said weakly, "This place? I heard there is a route, but it's quite deserted and full of weeds, so we usually don't go here."

"Because the main reason for hiking here is to see the scenery, and secondly to exercise. We usually don't walk on those wild roads."

"Off-road?" Upon hearing what He Wenjun said, Officer Wang also quickly said:
“So there’s a road over there, right?”

"Yes, there is a road, but I haven't been there, and neither has my boss," said He Wenjun.

"Then let's go this way this time." Gu Chen also made his own analysis and judgment and finally decided to take this wild road.

He Wenjun was stunned for a moment, thinking that Gu Chen was really weird, going wherever was difficult? He didn't follow the route at all.

But he seemed like a guide who was very familiar with this place, as if he knew every tree and blade of grass here.

He Wenjun had never seen such a person before, at least he couldn't understand people like Gu Chen.

The three experienced hikers were extremely tired. They lay down on the slope to rest, breathing heavily. He Wenjun couldn't help shaking his head when he saw them.

I thought that with this level of hiking skills, even the female hikers couldn’t compare to me.

"How was your rest? It's time for us to get going." Gu Chen looked at the time. He had rested for four minutes. It was time to set off.

The three experienced hikers also stood up with great difficulty.

Although I haven’t rested enough, it is already very precious rest time compared to the continuous hiking just now.

Seeing Gu Chen and his companions turn around and walk forward, the three hikers were also very angry. They could only suppress their fatigue and follow Gu Chen.

In this way, the search team began to move towards the heart of the canyon, which was the wild road mentioned by He Wenjun.

As soon as he reached a pile of weeds, Gu Chen stopped and squatted down immediately.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly followed suit and squatted down with Gu Chen.

But Lu Weiwei soon discovered that there were some broken weeds on the road, which were obvious signs that someone had passed by.
