Early the next morning.

Gu Chen got up early, and in order to avoid being too conspicuous, Gu Chen changed into casual clothes and prepared to return to Xinghua Village.

To be more precise, after the incident of the man in black hurting people in Xinghua Village again, Gu Chen has always been cautious about this vicious incident.

Although Gu Chen has made some achievements and handled many cases, and he has been recognized by all his colleagues in the police station in just a few months, this is already a good existence in the eyes of ordinary people.

But that doesn't mean you can slack off......

Gu Chen knew a truth, the higher he held, the worse he fell.

This time, I found Hu Mengyao, a candidate from Jiangbei who failed to make the list, in Xinghua Village, and the matter of media tracking and reporting can come to an end, and it can also be said that the task assigned by Zhao Guozhi to the three groups has been completed beautifully.

But as for Liu Xiaobao's injury last night, it happened under the noses of Jiangnan TV and many crew members, and it is difficult to say whether this matter can be handled well.

Gu Chen could only do his best to investigate more.

Although he has used his entry-level imagination, he has deduced that the murderer is likely to be hiding in Xinghua Village.

However, Gu Chen obviously knew that the murderer's repeated injuries were likely to be committed randomly, and whether this was a warning or revenge to Xinghua Village?

Gu Chen only hopes that in the investigation of Xinghua Village, he can find out this murderer, so that the crew and the villagers of Xinghua Village can gain a sense of security.

For this reason, after using entry-level imagination to deduce clues last night, Gu Chen began to prepare early in the morning.

By the time Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and the others got up, Gu Chen had already bought everyone's breakfast.

And using the three-dimensional map of the mobile phone, the road structure of Xinghua Village was recorded in detail, so that Xinghua Village was well known.

By the time Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and the others finished breakfast, Gu Chen had already made a lot of records and sorts out in the record book.

Officer Wang yawned and said, "Gu Chen, you are really a workaholic, you were busy all day yesterday, and you can still get up early in the morning today." ”

Gu Chen put away the information book he had sorted out, put it on the table and shielded it, and said, "You still have to be well prepared, I think that murderer is very likely to be hiding in Xinghua Village, and his understanding of the surrounding terrain is obviously stronger than ours." ”

"You mean...... The murderer is in Xinghua Village?" Lu Weiwei gasped and said thoughtfully: "I actually thought about this yesterday. ”

"That's why we have to know the terrain better than he does. Gu Chen had already put the information into his bag.

"What Gu Chen said makes sense. Officer Wang stuffed the meat bun into his mouth, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go."

Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun also cheered up today, and both of them worked very hard.

Last night, Bai Xiaolan wrote the news that Hu Mengyao found into a newsletter and published it on the official account she operated, and when she woke up today, the number of readings had exceeded 100,000+.

And Wu Jun is also in the hotel in Panlong Town, using computer software to edit and post-process the filmed video.

It was the most rewarding time he had ever felt in a while.

The task was completed quite well, and Hu Mengyao's statement also made follow-up reports possible.

Now the people of Jiangnan City are looking forward to Hu Mengyao and Wu Qi meeting in the hospital, which will also cause a lot of discussion.

But at the same time, what made Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun excited was that the hurtful incident in Xinghua Village allowed the two to capture the news breaking point again.

I feel that if I can follow the police and bring the murderer to justice in Xinghua Village, then this is another news breaking incident, which is enough to make headlines.

When the two gangs came to Xinghua Village together, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, and Xu Lang had already changed into civilian clothes like Gu Chen.

And Bai Xiaolan and Wu Jun have also reached the filming site of the column.

It's been a busy day today......

"Everyone saw the scene behind me, this is the filming scene of the online variety show "The Metamorphosis of the Boss". Bai Xiaolan held the microphone to face the camera, couldn't help but take a few steps back, and then turned to point to a chair at the entrance of the village.

"Did you see it? Yesterday it was here that you treated a villager who had been stabbed more than 20 times, you can take a look. ”

Bai Xiaolan gave up a position, and Wu Jun carried the camera and aimed it at the bloody seat.

"Okay, what you see now, it's the bloody chair, take a look. ”

Bai Xiaolan pointed to the chair and said: "It can be seen how serious the injured person was at that time, but after the simple treatment of the wound by the resident doctor, the injured person has been picked up by the Panlong Town Central Hospital and transferred to the Municipal People's Hospital for further treatment, and the injured person is currently in a stable mood." ”

"Good. Wu Jun gave a thumbs up to signal that the video had been filmed.

A villager from Xinghua Village came over and said, "Big brother, can this chair be moved?"

"Yes. Wu Jun nodded, took the camera on his shoulder in his hand, and casually took out a twenty yuan bill from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Thank you, if you want to take this chair next time, remember to contact me again. The villager stuffed the money into his pocket, smoked a cigarette, picked up his chair and left satisfied.

"Teacher Wu, how is the effect?" Bai Xiaolan came over curiously to see how the shooting was going.

"It's very good, it's real. Wu Jun looked left and right, his eyes stopped at Gu Chen, who was wearing civilian clothes, and said: "Let's go, go and pat these policemen again, take a picture of their solemn expressions, and then match them with some compact BGM, and the sense of substitution will come." ”

Bai Xiaolan gave a thumbs up: "Teacher Wu is really professional." ”

On the other side, Gu Chen, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei were still asking about the film crew where Liu Xiaobao was yesterday, and wanted to know whether what Liu Xiaobao said was true.

I also want to understand from the side what other people think of the man in black.

"That's the thing, comrade policeman, the man in black fled so fast that we didn't have time to react before he disappeared without a trace. A photographer in a vest said.

"Okay, thank you very much for your cooperation. Officer Wang tapped him on the shoulder, indicating that he could leave.

As soon as he turned around, he found that Wu Jun's camera was aimed at him.

"Officer Wang, what is the current status of the investigation, can you tell us about it?" Bai Xiaolan handed over the microphone.

"Ahem. Officer Wang coughed twice, then straightened his collar and said, "At present, the first thing we need to do is to grasp the basic characteristics of criminals as soon as possible, which is conducive to our further investigation." ”

"So what progress are you making so far?" said Bai Xiaolan, who passed the microphone again.

"At present, it can be determined that the murderer is very familiar with the terrain around Xinghua Village, and is good at using knives, so he should be a strong person, because he can quickly evacuate the scene after every crime. After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "And the murderer ...... It is very likely to be in Xinghua Village. ”

Officer Wang breathed a long sigh of relief after saying this.

These are all clues that Officer Wang learned from Gu Chen on the way to Xinghua Village today.

Thinking about today's media, they will definitely ask about the progress of some cases, so I simply prepared some.

"Good, very good. Wu Jun took the camera off his shoulder again and held it in his hand.

"Thank you, Officer Wang. Bai Xiaolan is very satisfied with this.

Officer Wang said: "These videos will be released after the murderer is found, and in addition, the news that the murderer may be in Xinghua Village should not be released first." ”

"Don't worry, Officer Wang. Bai Xiaolan's emotional intelligence is very high, and she immediately expressed her understanding of Officer Wang's concerns: "If we announce it now, it will not only cause a panic impact on the crew, but also a panic impact on the villagers of Xinghua Village, right?"

"Yes, until you catch the murderer, we will not release these materials, which is also the professional quality of our media people. Photographer Wu Jun also expressed understanding.

After all, one of the long-term cooperation with the police of the Seremban Police Station is not to interfere with the police's handling of the case.

However, being able to get and record some real materials from here is already a very rare existence for Wu Jun and Bai Xiaolan.

"Senior Brother Xu, if you want to go to the orchard in the village, is there only one way through the forest?" Gu Chen knew that Xu Lang knew more about this area, so he specially found him to ask.

"Yes, but not absolutely. Xu Lang took Gu Chen's notebook, and the topographic map of Xinghua Village and the surrounding areas drawn in it couldn't help but make Xu Lang's eyes light up: "Gu Chen, these are all drawn by you?"

"Yes. Gu Chen said.

"It's really good. Xu Lang couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and was also quite surprised: "You can paint Xinghua Village in such detail, it seems that you put a lot of effort into it last night." ”

"It won't be long, just fifteen minutes. ”

"Well, it's pretty close. Xu Lang pointed to the forest on the drawing and said: "This forest is located at the foot of the mountain, forming a horizontal division, which naturally separates the orchard on the mountain from Xinghua Village. ”

In other words, this is the only way to go, and the villagers of Xinghua Village can't avoid this road no matter what, so the murderer can wait here for the rabbit. Gu Chen said.

"That's right, the forest road between the orchard and Xinghua Village is only about a kilometer away. Xu Lang paused and said, "And I heard that if you want to bypass this road, you have to walk more than ten kilometers of mountain roads, so you have to expect them to take a detour, it's impossible." ”

"Then can we just take this road tonight?" Gu Chen looked at Xu Lang very persistently.

Xu Lang was asked, but he stood aside, observing Lu Weiwei, who had been for a long time, coughed twice, and said: "Because it is very difficult and unrealistic to find out this murderer by investigation." ”

"The crew and the villagers of Xinghua Village are mixed together, and the composition of the crew is complex, and in addition to the co-production team of Jiangnan TV Station, there is also a program production team. ”

"The people here, everyone is not very familiar with each other, and it will be very difficult to investigate, so what Gu Chen means is that the murderer will wait for the rabbit, and we will lead the snake out of the hole. ”

"Lead the snake out of the hole?" is a good word, or Senior Sister Lu understands me. Gu Chen smiled slightly.

Xu Lang looked up at Gu Chen's expression and couldn't help but say, "Young people are bold." ”

He thought that Gu Chen would use investigations, inquiries and other methods to inquire about the whereabouts of the man in black, but he never thought that Gu Chen would use the trick of luring the snake out of the hole.

Although it seems very risky and has little effect, it seems to be the most likely way to find the trace of the man in black at this time.

In fact, before coming to Xinghua Village, Gu Chen had talked to several people, including Xu Lang, about the situation he had speculated.

But Xu Lang still felt quite risky......

However, this time it is a group action of four people, and the odds may be better.

During the day, the four of them entered the forest to conduct an on-the-spot investigation of the site where Liu Xiaobao was attacked yesterday.

Using the creases of some vegetation in the forest, trace reasoning is carried out to basically determine the approximate course of action of the murderer.

"This guy is hiding very secretively, if he was going to make an ambush, I would definitely hide here. Gu Chen looked at the traces of Liu Xiaobao's fight with the murderer last night, and couldn't help but sigh.

It's the same place as the last time the second child of the Liu family was attacked, and it was also in the same place.

Officer Wang held his chin and said thoughtfully: "Then do you think that if the murderer wants to come out to commit the crime again, will he set the ambush location here again?"

"Probably not. Gu Chen shook his head: "It's only three things, and he let him succeed here twice, he must know that the villagers and crew will be alert, and if they come here again, they will definitely be vigilant, and if they want to commit crimes again, the success rate will not be very high." ”

For Gu Chen's rebuttal, Officer Wang has long been accustomed to it, and Lu Weiwei also expressed understanding.

"Then are you sure you want to lure the snake out of the hole here tonight?" Xu Lang tried to open his eyes wide, and said, "That can't be more than ten o'clock at night, and we'll fall asleep directly after any other night." ”

"Haha, listen to Senior Brother Xu. Gu Chen also meant this.

7 p.m.

After many investigations, Gu Chen and Officer Wang chose an excellent observation location.

Here you can attack and retreat, and it can be said that in addition to the last place, it is the best place for ambushes.

However, Gu Chen did not set up the lurking location here, but chose to give up on his own initiative and control around this location instead.

And the vacant excellent location is reserved for the murderer.

In this way, once the murderer enters the ambush site, he will definitely be surrounded by four people.

If the back road is cut off again, the murderer will be a turtle in the urn, and it will be impossible to escape.

"Have you brought everything with you?" Officer Wang, who was lying on the slope, needed to be vigilant again.

The three of them patted the "nine small pieces" on their bodies, indicating that everything was in order.

Then there was a sudden silence in the forest......

8 p.m., 9 p.m., 10 p.m.

Until late at night, the entire forest was silent, and there was no movement of the murderer.

"Could it be that the murderer learned that the police were in Xinghua Village last night, so he was too scared to come out?" Lu Weiwei was sleepy, and asked for a reason.

"It may not come out this time. Xu Lang also squinted, his head was pestle, and his eyelids were very heavy.

Officer Wang was quite energetic, but he was still waiting, and gradually consumed his energy.

He flicked Gu Chen beside him with his hand and asked, "Gu Chen, why don't we go back first today, maybe the murderer is really afraid of the police and doesn't dare to come out?"

In fact, judging from yesterday's situation, the murderer really didn't know that the police were coming to the village, and if the murderer was really from Xinghua Village, he must have known.

Gu Chen was puzzled: "That's okay, everything is up to Senior Brother Wang." ”

In fact, Gu Chen was also hesitant, as soon as he thought that the murderer would appear in the forest and attack the people passing by with a knife, Gu Chen had countless thoughts from life.

I thought about all the possibilities......

Dealing with such a cunning opponent may not be solved in a day or two.

In the past, in Jiangnan City, you can also use some shooting methods to narrow down the scope of investigation, but it is completely different here.

Officer Wang finally made a decision and made a sign language gesture to disband.

But at this moment, in Xinghua Village in the distance, there was a sudden rush of dog barking.

It didn't take long for Gu Chen's mobile phone to be muted, and it suddenly lit up.

It was reporter Bai Xiaolan who called.

"Reporter Bai, what do you care about?" Gu Chen had already followed at the end of the team, preparing to return the same way.

"Officer Gu, where are you?" Bai Xiaolan's tone was very hurried.

"In the forest, what's wrong?" Gu Chen looked curious.

"Then come over quickly, someone has been attacked again, this time it is the crew, and now the crew has blocked the village committee, and many people want to go back to Jiangnan City. ”

Through the phone, Gu Chen could feel a noise at the scene, and many people were making a lot of noise.

"We'll be there right away. After hanging up the phone, Gu Chen briefly explained the situation to a few people, and everyone rushed towards Xinghua Village.

When they arrived at Xinghua Village, many people had already blocked the small square in front of the village committee, and many people began to shout loudly.

"We're going home, we can't stay here anymore. ”

"Director Guo, how did you promise last night and today?"

"What murderer wouldn't hurt the crew?

"Yes, Director Guo, you have to give us an explanation, either change places, or we will quit, but we can't even give up our lives for this money. ”

There was a lot of controversy......

Director Guo and the old village chief, who were wearing peaked caps, were also standing in front of the village committee at a loss.

Director Guo explained to the audience from time to time,

At this time, he saw that there were four people rushing here at the back of the crowd, and he couldn't help but feel that he had found a savior.

Director Guo immediately pointed to the back of the crowd and shouted, "It's the police, the police are coming." ”

The scene suddenly fell silent for a short time, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see Gu Chen running over first.

In the crowd, he didn't know where Bai Xiaolan came from, so he immediately took Gu Chen's hand and walked out of the crowd.

"Gu Chen, now the director and the village chief can't be calm, the big guys are all in a mood, you have to pay attention, don't take all the trouble on yourself. ”

Bai Xiaolan was also afraid that Gu Chen would suffer, so she explained to him first.

"Thank you very much. Gu Chen was full of confidence, shook off Bai Xiaolan's hand, and immediately walked towards the crowd.

The old village chief and Director Guo immediately walked down quickly and stretched out their hands to Gu Chen.

"Comrade policeman, you can count it as coming, something big has happened again. ”

......
