The next morning.

Chengdong Branch of Xiping City.

Due to the sudden disappearance of He Mei, the operational deployment of the Chengdong Branch was disrupted.

Originally, a large number of people were sent to Gaoqiao National Forest Park to search and rescue Liu Wenjing, which had already exhausted everyone.

But He Mei, who disappeared suddenly, caught everyone off guard.

In the two disappearance cases, because the previous case of Liu Wenjing's disappearance had a wide range of influence, this similar disappearance case added fuel to the fire.

For a whole night, the people who eat melons have pushed it to the hot search several times.

At 8 a.m., the Chengdong and Chengbei sub-bureaus held a video conference to focus on the fire extinguishing work in the disappearance.

Since there has been no breakthrough in the case of Liu Wenjing's disappearance for the time being, the police in Xiping City are now facing great pressure from public opinion.

In order to calm the pressure of public opinion and prevent the rumor-mongers from causing trouble, the Xiping City police used the official account to start refuting the rumors.

The main thing is to grasp the initiative of public opinion and avoid some marketing accounts maliciously leading the rhythm.

The meeting lasted until 9 a.m., and two broad guidelines were established.

The Chengbei Branch Bureau conducted an investigation into the disappearance of the woman, He Mei.

The Chengdong Branch continued to investigate Liu Wenjing's disappearance.

At the same time, the two disappearances must be reported in real time and updated without interruption.

If the police were dealing with problems before, now they have to race against time.

The reason is very simple, the pressure of public opinion is unprecedentedly high, and the police in Xiping City must speed up the progress.

9:10 a.m.

Liao Jianbo, director of the Chengdong Branch, who had just finished the video conference, quickly called Gu Chen's team, Xiong Bo, the leader of the blue sky rescue team, and Zhang Feng, the leader of the police search team, to the office and gave a brief description of the meeting.

According to Liao Jianbo's request, Liu Wenjing's case must be completely accelerated.

To this end, Liao Jianbo began to mobilize police officers from various sub-bureaus and police stations, and volunteers joined them.

And mobilize more search and rescue equipment, ready to launch another carpet search of Gaoqiao National Forest Park.

At the same time, Liu Wenjing's search bounty has also increased from 50,000 yuan before to 100,000 now.

Many residents have also begun to go to Gaoqiao National Forest Park on their own.

For a time, there were more than 500 volunteers of various search and rescue personnel.

But in order to organize these more than 500 people well and avoid the recurrence of disappearances, Xiong Bo, the leader of the blue sky rescue team, also blocked the road up the mountain with the cooperation of Zhang Feng.

Those who go up the mountain must form a team, at least a group of 5 people, need to carry dry food and water, and be equipped with the necessary communication tools.

Among this group of people, a considerable number of them are new media reporters and some live broadcast experts.

Due to the wind of network traffic, the trend began to go crazy and inclined to the disappearance case.

Therefore, these new media bloggers, short video experts, start posting some of the latest searches from time to time.

But all the videos related to Liu Wenjing's disappearance case have been given the greatest support by traffic.

So when the whole team set off in a mighty way, the police and the blue sky rescue team were a little embarrassed.

All the actions were under the supervision of the mass media, and everyone was under pressure compared to the previous search.

Gu Chen still teamed up with Xu Sitong and Zhang Kai, Gu Chen's purpose was not to search in the mountains, but to search a large area centered on Hejiang Village again.

And new media people and short video creators who also don't want to go into the mountains and point to rubbing traffic around also choose to search near Hejiang Village.

For a time, nearly 100 people chose to follow Gu Chen's team.

After some searching, Lu Weiwei was a little confused: "Do you say that these volunteers are here to help with the truth?

"Of course, otherwise what do you think?" Xu Sitong had already seen through everything, and he was not angry: "These people don't want to go into the mountains to suffer, so they come here to rub some traffic, in the final analysis, just to increase their fans." ”

"Raise your own fans?" Hearing Xu Sitong say this, Gu Chen suddenly realized.

Lu Weiwei was stunned: "What's the matter, Senior Brother Gu, is there any problem?"

Gu Chen nodded slightly: "I observed the first blogger to post He Mei's disappearance yesterday, do you know how much he has gained fans since last night to today, since he posted the news of He Mei's disappearance?"

Everyone looked at each other, indicating that they did not know.

Gu Chen directly crossed his two index fingers together.

"Ten...... 100,000?" Lu Weiwei said dumbfounded.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "That's right, as of before we set off to the Gaoqiao Police Station, that mysterious blogger has gained more than 100,000 followers in total from last night to this morning, and now he still releases some latest developments from time to time." ”

"Especially many media, for the sake of traffic, is now equivalent to staring at the blogger's dynamics, as long as the blogger has first-hand information, they will immediately edit and forward, and turn the blogger into the traffic entrance of this missing case. ”

"100,000 fans in one night?" When Officer Wang heard this number, the whole person was also shocked.

You must know that over the years, my fans have increased and decreased, and now my fans are only four figures.

This mysterious blogger has 100,000+ followers in a late night, and it feels like a joke.

Gu Chen glanced at a man and woman nearby who was dressed fashionably and holding a stabilizer in his hand and said, "See, these people are not here to help as volunteers at all, but to rub traffic and post video updates." ”

"Damn. Seeing this, Zhang Kai couldn't stand it anymore, rolled up his sleeves and just stepped forward to reason with these people, but was stopped by Xu Sitong in an instant.

"Senior Sister Xu, why are you stopping me? He doesn't work with these people. Zhang Kai looked aggrieved and felt that it was time to play his clearing skills.

Xu Sitong said earnestly: "Are you stupid? What is the situation you don't know now?"

"What's the situation now, can't you find someone?" Zhang Kai looked puzzled.

Gu Chen replied for Xu Sitong: "Now is the time when our police are pushed to the forefront, especially these short video and new media practitioners, who also play a role in fueling the fire." ”

"So if you offend them, they will create public opinion pressure on you backhanded, you know, they are also the traffic entrance now, once there is negative news from our police, it will not be good for the entire Xiping City Police Force. ”

"Yes. Hearing Gu Chen say this, Zhang Kai suddenly brightened, but he still couldn't swallow this breath.

He patted his chest and promised, "I must tell them well, I can't let them stop working and interfere with other people's work, right?"

Thinking about it, everyone looked at each other and could only agree.

On the other side, a tall and thin man wearing glasses is holding his mobile phone in a weird way, recording a video for himself.

Because there were a large number of uniformed police academy cadets around him to help with the search, the man with glasses also rubbed to his side and started his own recording work with these police academy cadets as the background.

"Hello babies. The man in glasses waved and smiled at the video: "I am now near the place where Liu Wenjing's disappearance occurred, it is said that the police have conducted several large-scale searches here without any results." ”

Speaking of this, the man with glasses couldn't help but sigh twice: "I don't know what they are doing to eat, and it is useless to use so many people, so as the successor of socialism, of course, we have done our part." ”

The voice fell, and the man holding the stabilizer glanced at a young cadet beside him, and hurriedly trotted all the way over and patted the cadet on the shoulder: "Hey brother." ”

"What are you doing?" the young cadet police officer looked left and right, was seriously searching, and did not see the man with glasses who was filmed.

The man with glasses suddenly covered his mouth and smiled: "You little policeman, do you have a big temper?

Recruit Constable: ???

"What the hell? what are you trying to say?" the cadet felt puzzled and continued to ignore him.

The man with glasses suddenly took an inch, turned his back to the cadet policeman, and said with a light smile: "Hello babies, do you see? Capture a handsome young guy alive." ”

Then he glanced at the young cadet police officer and asked, "How many years have you been studying at the police academy." ”

"Two years. "The cadet police officer is seriously looking for it, and he is a little irritable.

"Oh, two years, can you all be a police officer after graduation?" asked the man with glasses.

The young cadet policeman said impatiently: "Those who have the ability can engage in this business, and it is not absolute, I want to be a policeman here, but I also have to pass the exam, after all, the police station is not opened by my family." ”

"So it's nothing good to be a policeman, look at your present, you know your future, it's very hard to be a policeman. The man with glasses said.

The cadet police officer frowned: "Can you be a policeman without hard work?"

"Haha, it seems that our elementary school police are angry, come, look at the camera, and say hello to my babies. ”

Recruit Constable: ???

Just when the cadet police officer was annoyed and wanted to hit someone, Zhang Kai grabbed the man with glasses by the collar and dragged him aside.

The man with glasses stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he also helped his glasses and asked Zhang Kaidao: "What's the matter with you little policeman?"

"What's the matter with me? I'm going to ask you what's the matter?" Zhang Kai pestled the man with the glasses on his chest, causing the weak man with glasses to take a few steps back.

"Don't you see everybody's busy? If you don't help, forget it, what's the mess here?"

"I ...... I'm streaming, huh?"

"This is not a live broadcast venue. Gu Chen also brought everyone over at this time.

I feel that this guy is purely here to make a mess of traffic.

Not only the man with glasses, but also a considerable number of the hundreds of people who came to fish.

Gu Chen felt that it was also necessary to deal with it.

The man with glasses was a little unconvinced: "I'm reporting in real time." ”

"It needs to be reported, mainly from our official sources. Xu Sitong couldn't stand it anymore, and took the initiative to step forward and said: "The people who fanned the flames and spread rumors everywhere on the Internet are often like you. ”

"When you do things, you call it a volunteer, but you do some personnel?"

"I've actually been paying attention to you for a long time, from beginning to end, I've been shooting your short videos, interfering with the normal work of our police, and if you don't contribute, forget it, and you're still here to block everyone. ”

It may be because of the loud sound that it instantly attracts other short videos that are being filmed or are about to be filmed.

Everyone looked at each other, stopped what they were doing, and stared at Xu Sitong with their eyes.

The man with glasses grinned, pointed at Xu Sitong and said, "I said female police officer, you are too much, right? There are many people and great power, besides, what if I report with the team? Could it be that your police are not good at handling the case, and we volunteers are not allowed to make irresponsible remarks? If you have the ability, you can find out the missing Liu Wenjing?...... Oops. ”

Before the man with glasses could finish speaking, Officer Wang over there dragged him aside, pointed to the bridge of the glasses man's nose and said, "Boy, I can warn you, if you don't want to help, get out, don't interfere with us here." ”

"If I see you doing anything here again, interfering with the work of our police officers, I will immediately drive you off the mountain. ”

It may be that Officer Wang is an old comrade, and he has some deterrent power when he is fierce, so the man with the eye who took the video was intimidated on the spot.

He was a little afraid, afraid that the middle-aged policeman would be mad at him.

So he nodded softly and said, "That...... Okay, won't I shoot now? Can you let go of your hand first?"

Officer Wang gently pushed, and the tall and thin man with glasses almost couldn't even walk steadily, and even took a few steps back, relying on a big tree to barely stabilize his position.

Officer Wang then watched for a week.

Other volunteers who were holding mobile phones in their hands and only cared about shooting short videos immediately took back their mobile phones and pretended to follow the police officers to look for them.

Seeing that the matter was stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Chen was also angry: "I suspect that the mysterious blogger, maybe like these people, specializes in filming some first-hand information under the guise of making our police passive." ”

"That's right. Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and also glanced at the man with glasses not far away: "What can these people do? ”

"Forget it. Gu Chen didn't want to worry too much, so he could only lead a police dog assigned by the Dongcheng Branch and continue to search according to the items Liu Wenjing left in the car as a judgment.

Time passed minute by minute, and when Gu Chen returned to Hejiang Village with the police dog, a chubby man suddenly walked up to Gu Chen with a rusty dagger and said, "Comrade policeman, I know Liu Wenjing's whereabouts. ”

"Do you know Liu Wenjing's whereabouts?" Hearing the man's words, everyone suddenly came to their senses.

I have searched several times in the vicinity of Hejiang Village before, but I have found nothing.

Now a man took the initiative to hold a rusty dagger and confessed to Gu Chen that he knew the whereabouts of Liu Wenjing's disappearance.

Gu Chen felt that this was the difference between this and white picking?

So I hurriedly asked him, "What's the situation?"

"Then ......" The fat man hesitated for a moment and asked Gu Chen, "Does your bounty count?"

"Of course, it counts, as long as we can provide true and reliable information, our police will reward you. Xu Sitong also made it clear, so as not to have any worries about the man.

The fat man hesitated for a moment, then handed the rusty dagger in his hand to Gu Chen, and said, "Liu Wenjing may have died from this knife, and the murderer is likely to be my brother." ”

"What?" Gu Chen's eyes couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

He quickly put on his white gloves and gently took the dagger in his hand.

At this moment, Gu Chen used his master-level observation power to carefully observe the dagger in front of him.

The rust looks like some years, could it be that Liu Wenjing has been killed? And is the murder weapon really this dagger?

Gu Chen hesitated a little and continued to ask him: "You said that Liu Wenjing was probably killed by this knife, and the murderer may be your brother, you said a 'maybe' here, that is, you can't be 100% sure?"

"Uh, yes. Hearing Gu Chen's words, the fat man took the initiative to admit it.

"Then why do you conclude that it's your brother?" asked Officer Wang curiously.

The chubby man took the initiative to confess: "Because my brother has a criminal record, he has been imprisoned before because of some bad records." ”

"And I asked him about the fact that he was originally living with a relative in another village, but on that day, the day you officially announced Liu Wenjing's disappearance, he was in Hejiang Village, and he was about a kilometer away from the accident site. ”

Hearing the man's words, everyone looked at each other and felt that there was some truth.

It can be seen that even his brother can confess, this man is not simple, and there is some meaning of righteous killing relatives.

Everyone's eyes suddenly changed when they looked at the man.

If you really find the murderer, that's a big achievement.

Xu Sitong hurriedly asked him excitedly: "Then where is your brother now?"

"He is in Dongjiang Village, not far from Hejiang Village, a few kilometers away. ”

"Not true. Just as the fat man's voice fell, Gu Chen said again: "Then is he in Hejiang Village, doesn't he have any place to stay? After all, Liu Wenjing's disappearance is in Hejiang Village." ”

After learning about Gu Chen's doubts, the fat man said directly: "In Hejiang Village, there is an old house in the northeast corner, usually when my brother is working nearby, he will also live there, and there is a place for him to sleep." ”

Hearing the rhetoric, the scene suddenly boiled.

Everyone searched hard, but at this moment, because someone deliberately reported it, things seemed to have taken a big turn.

The people who were originally searching for work also suddenly stopped working at this moment.

Lu Weiwei hurriedly said, "Then you can take us over to have a look now." ”

"No problem. The fat man didn't say a word, turned around and walked towards the northeast corner of Hejiang Village.

Everyone was nervous in their hearts, and they felt a kind of anticipation to solve the case.

Hejiang Village is not large, but because of the topography, the village buildings are relatively scattered, distributed in the mountains, and built along the river.

The northeast corner of Hejiang Village mentioned by the fat man is actually a little far away from Hejiang Village, and it can be regarded as an enclave from the center of Hejiang Village.

The surroundings are relatively empty, and the building looks a little old, belonging to the old house series.

Nowadays, every family in Hejiang Village lives in new houses, and the architectural style is biased towards the small western-style buildings in the Jiangnan region.

This old mansion in the northeast corner is suddenly incompatible with the entire Hejiang Village building complex, like an alternative existence.

"Uh!" Walking in front of the old mansion, Lu Weiwei suddenly covered her mouth and nose: "It stinks, there is a lot of cow dung smell here." ”

And just as Lu Weiwei's words fell, the police dog that Gu Chen was holding in his hand suddenly barked.

Hearing the warning of the police dog, everyone suddenly stopped and did not dare to move forward.

......
