Chapter 2816 Abandoned Old House

Chapter 2816 Abandoned Old House
Officer Wang's question made Hong Bo hesitate for a moment. He looked at Gu Chen and continued:

"You said that the man in black you met before, do you still remember his moves?"

"Remember." Gu Chen nodded silently and said without hesitation: "This person's moves are basically killing moves."

"You just need to remember it. So, can you simulate the scene for me now?" Hong Bo said.

Gu Chen was stunned: "Simulate the scene at that time?"

"Yes, it is to simulate the scene at that time. If you simulate it, I can determine whether the person used the same moves as the person I met 30 years ago."

"Okay." Seeing what Hong Bo meant, Gu Chen nodded silently and quickly stood up.

Gu Chen looked around and continued, "This room is not big enough."

"It doesn't matter. You don't have to really use the moves, just show the moves." After Hong Bo finished speaking, he stood up, walked up to Gu Chen, and said:
"I will now simulate your situation at that time, and you explain the situation at that time."

"Okay." Seeing that Hong Bo was very serious, Gu Chen immediately became active.

Soon, Gu Chen explained to Hong Bo on the spot how he had made his move and how the opponent had made his move.

Hong Bo immediately imitated Gu Chen's movements, while Gu Chen imitated the movements of the man in black.

After the two of them had been sparring with each other for a while in the office, Hong Bo stopped and said, "No need to simulate. The man in black might be from the same sect as the one I met 30 years ago."

"Are all the moves the same?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"Yes." Hong Bo sat back in his seat, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said:

"This man in black may be that man's apprentice, or he may be his family member."

"If you want to find the man in black, you might as well start with this guy."

"But after all, 30 years have passed. Do you know the whereabouts of that person?" Gu Chen asked.

"I haven't had contact with him for a long time, but I heard that this person is from the north. He migrated from the north to the south and came to this city."

"I wanted to open a martial arts school here and teach classes, but since the moves aren't primarily for physical fitness, I can't recruit any students."

"Plus, he is not a member of our local martial arts association, so he did not participate in many activities."

"That's why, during that event, he had to show off his strength in the ring."

At this point, Hong Bo shook his head: "Unfortunately, he ended up making things worse."

"His moves were rated as low-level moves by our martial arts association and are not worthy of being put on the stage."

"Although the attack power is strong, this goes against the original purpose of martial arts to strengthen the body."

“So, although he made a big splash that time, he didn’t achieve the purpose of the publicity.”

"After the match, I gave him my business card and told him that if he needed help, he could come to me."

"After all, he looked very down and out at that time. We talked for a while, and he told me that he lived in Zhao Village in the suburbs."

"So, maybe you can go to that Zhao Village to look for this person's whereabouts."

"Zhao Village?" After hearing what Hong Bo said, Officer Wang also hurriedly said:
"There are very few people with the surname Zhao here."

"Yes, so it's easy for you to find this person, or to inquire about him. It seems that he has been living there."

"As for whether it is still in Zhao Village? I can't guarantee that. You have to look for it yourself."

"Okay, thank you." After getting this clue, Gu Chen felt like he had found a treasure.

After all, this man's moves were very similar to the ones he used when fighting against the man in black.

Since Mr. Hong said that person is a connection, then as long as we find that person in Zhao Village, we might be able to find out about the man in black.

Because the canyon is still under police blockade.

Gu Chen now urgently needs to find clues about the man in black, so after saying goodbye to Hong Bo, he immediately took everyone to the surrounding suburbs.

Following the address given by Mr. Hong, everyone quickly found the so-called Zhao Village.

Zhao Village is located on a small hill in the suburbs of Jiangnan City.

It seems that the population here is not large, the houses are relatively old, and there are not many new houses.

This is in stark contrast to the villages surrounding Jiangnan City.

Seeing this scene, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but wonder: "This place is so strange, why does it look so desolate?"

"Yes, and it seems that there are very few people, and there are a lot of old houses." Yuan Shasha also noticed the problem.

Gu Chen ignored all this and parked the car in an open area at the entrance of the village. He got out of the car and prepared to find someone to ask about the situation.

But after getting off the bus, I found that there were not even any vehicles here. The houses were old and retro, and there were very few new houses.

Moreover, in broad daylight, you can't even see people moving around.

"This place is a bit strange, it seems that no one lives there."

"Junior Brother Gu, look over there." When Lu Weiwei heard Gu Chen say this, she quickly pointed to one of the old houses and said, "It looks like someone is hanging clothes to dry over there. Maybe someone lives there."

"Let's go over and take a look." Gu Chen also saw it and immediately prepared to take everyone over to check out the situation.

Soon, everyone arrived at the door of the house.

An old lady was sitting at the gate basking in the sun.

Perhaps because he was closing his eyes to rest, he did not notice the arrival of Gu Chen and his companions.

So Officer Wang asked Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha to wake up the old lady.

"Old lady, old lady, please wake up."

After being patted by Lu Weiwei, the old lady finally opened her eyes, looked at Lu Weiwei and the others with some confusion, and asked:

"You are?"

"Oh, we are police officers from the Furong Branch of the Jiangnan Public Security Bureau. We came here this time to ask you something."

Lu Weiwei was also very polite, but the old lady looked confused and continued to ask:

"You're looking for me?"

"Yes, I came to you to ask you about someone." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she immediately showed the picture of the steel claw weapon that Gu Chen had drawn with a pencil in front of the old lady and asked:

"Old lady, have you seen this weapon?" "What is this?" The old lady looked panicked, and she seemed to find the picture of the weapon on the drawing familiar.

"It's a pair of steel claw weapons that can be worn on the hands, and put on from here. Have you seen this kind of weapon?" Lu Weiwei continued to ask.

The old lady frowned and said slowly: "I have seen this thing before, but it was many years ago."

"Can you tell us about it?" Officer Wang also looked serious.

The old lady sat up straight and said thoughtfully:
"I remember that this thing belonged to a man in our village. He used to practice martial arts and collected this kind of steel claw. He even performed in front of us."

"Is this person still alive? Where did he come from?" Yuan Shasha asked quickly.

The old lady shook her head and said, "She's gone. She's already been buried."

"Dead?" Officer Wang was also quite disappointed when he heard this, so he asked again:
"Does he have any family?"

"There is a disciple who has no family and is alone, but he adopted a disciple. Calculating the time, he is now about 30 years old."

"Where does that person come from?" Officer Wang felt more and more that the person the old lady was talking about seemed to be of great importance.

The old lady also sighed and said, "He was not from our village before, because our village actually migrated from the north."

"At that time, our ancestors moved from the north to the south to avoid the war and settled down here, but the population was small, so our Zhao Village is very small."

"Besides, young people have chosen to go to cities for development, so only old people like me are left in the village."

As soon as she finished speaking, the old lady slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from her coat pocket and lit one for herself.

Seeing the old lady smoking, Lu Weiwei was also surprised and quickly reminded her, "Old lady, smoking is bad for your health, smoke less."

"I'm used to it." The old lady puffed out smoke habitually and said slowly:
"I am also an old smoker. I can't quit. The person you are talking about has a relatively small family."

"Anyway, they are not of the same ethnic group as us. Their ancestors lived in the north of us, several villages away from us. Later, they got together with our ancestors."

"Then, they came here to settle down together. But this person has loved practicing martial arts since he was a child. Moreover, he made a set of steel claw weapons by himself. That's the picture you just showed me."

"Oh oh." Lu Weiwei reacted and immediately took out the hand-drawn map and showed it in front of the old lady.

The old lady nodded silently and said without hesitation: "Yes, yes, that's the weapon."

"If nothing else, this guy seems to be not doing his job properly, but when it comes to martial arts training, especially using his steel claw weapons, he does it very smoothly."

"And I heard that he created his own martial arts, combining some moves from other schools with his own weapons to create his own set of kung fu."

"Did he go to the city to participate in a martial arts event 30 years ago? And did he fight in a martial arts ring?" Upon hearing this, Officer Wang quickly asked.

The old lady nodded silently and said without hesitation, "Yes, he has been there before. Thirty years ago, he didn't even have enough money for the trip and accommodation, so he borrowed money from our villagers, saying that he wanted to fight in the ring to make a name for himself."

"What's the result?" Yuan Shasha asked knowingly.

"The result?" The old lady took a deep breath and sighed helplessly:

"In the end, it seems that he didn't achieve anything. He originally wanted to go to the ring to make a name for himself, but it seems that he was not very successful."

"But think about it. You're a person who created your own martial arts, and your moves are not authentic. You also made a steel claw and made yourself so abstract. How can you leave a good impression on others?"

After a pause, the old lady continued, "Take this weapon for example. It's so abstract, and it doesn't look like a decent character. If it were a TV show, they would probably all be villains."

"Oh?" Hearing the old lady say this, Lu Weiwei asked her curiously:
"Ma'am, why do you think so?"

"Is there any need to believe this? Decent people all use swords and knives, and only free villains use those weird weapons. Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas?"

"Okay." After hearing the old lady say this, it felt like I hadn't heard anything.

Gu Chen had been listening carefully. After the old lady finished speaking, Gu Chen asked her again:
"So, is his disciple his adopted son?"

"He's not really an adopted son. He's actually an orphan, a quiet orphan."

"That guy was brought to our village when he was very young. Later, that guy died, and the boy grew up, and suddenly disappeared."

"In our village, ever since we held the funeral for that guy, we haven't seen his apprentice again. It's as if he has never been to this world."

"But we can understand it. After all, in our small village, even the master is gone. Is there any need to stay here? He will definitely find a way out for himself."

“It’s just that the old house has been there all this time and has become abandoned and worthless.”

"Can you take us to his house?" Gu Chen suddenly thought of visiting that person's home.

The old lady agreed very readily and nodded immediately: "Okay, then I'll take you there."

After she finished speaking, the old lady stood up and took Gu Chen and the others with her and started walking towards one of the old houses.

Soon, Gu Chen and others were brought to the door of the old house.

At this moment, the door of the old house is already overgrown with weeds, and the dilapidated look of the old house makes it feel very simple.

The doors and windows at this time seemed to be badly damaged.

The old lady saw Gu Chen and the others staring at the broken doors and windows, and immediately explained:

"It was all because the kids in the village didn't know better. Seeing that this old house hadn't been occupied for a long time, they used slingshots to target the windows of this family, and as a result, they broke the glass one by one."

"I know, this is the broken window effect." Yuan Shasha said casually.

The old lady seemed to not understand and said, "Anyway, the children in the village are also naughty. There were always a few naughty ones in the past, but now they have grown up and gone to school outside."

"This village is no longer as lively as it used to be."

"Then can we go into this family?" Gu Chen asked curiously, looking at the rusty iron lock and the dilapidated doors and windows.

"Sure, but I can't get in. I don't have the key," said the old lady.

"Can we break down the door and get in?" Officer Wang said.

Gu Chen waved his hand and refused: "No need to break down the door, you can go in through the window."

After he finished speaking, Gu Chen walked directly to the broken window and manually removed the few pieces of broken glass remaining on the wooden window.

Then he reached in and opened the bolt from the inside.

Then he opened the wooden window and said, "Go in from here."

"That's fine." Seeing Gu Chen do this, Officer Wang suddenly felt that it was not impossible.
