Gu Chen's analysis made Lu Weiwei feel terrified for a while.
As Gu Chen said, the title "mysterious man" is only relative.
It is indeed mysterious to everyone, after all, the identity is unknown, and the face cannot be seen clearly.
But for Wan Xiaomin, maybe they are real acquaintances.
It can be seen that the relationship between the mysterious man and Wan Xiaomin is indeed extraordinary, and even Hu Ming, his first love, has to stand aside.
After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, since the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory is so mysterious, instead of waiting here for Lao Wang and the others, why don't we go directly to support them, what do you think?"
"That's fine." In fact, Gu Chen also had the same meaning. Under Lu Weiwei's suggestion, Gu Chen also said along the way:
"Senior Brother He, I'll leave this to you. If there is any latest progress, remember to notify us as soon as possible."
"No problem." He Junchao agreed quite readily.
Afterwards, Gu Chen explained some other things, and then took Lu Weiwei and drove to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city.
Came to the previous location again. At this time, two police cars were already parked on the side of the road.
At this time, everyone has gone to the ruins area to investigate.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were not far behind either. After contacting Police Officer Wang and confirming the final area, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei trotted all the way, passed through an open iron fence, and entered the ruined area.
At this moment, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Ding Liang, the helpers brought by Huang Zunlong, Hu Ming and others lined up on various broken ruins and started a carpet search.
Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had arrived, Police Officer Wang immediately complained: "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, you are here. I feel like this search is not an option? This Hu Ming can't remember clearly. Where are the secret routes back then? area."
"Really?" Seeing that Police Officer Wang was a little embarrassed, Gu Chen simply walked up to Hu Ming and asked him:
"Hu Ming, what's going on?"
"Officer Gu, I... don't blame me for this." Hu Ming felt wronged at the moment, and complained again and again:
"It wasn't a ruin before, and all kinds of buildings were in this area.
But if you look at the present, there are ruins everywhere, whole pieces, and the demolition is not standardized, here and there, I am almost confused by the ruins here. "
"You want to confirm the position? Sorry, I'm a little dizzy now."
"Where's the person in charge here?" Seeing that Hu Ming also had some headaches, Gu Chen asked Police Officer Wang again.
Police officer Wang pointed to the location of a prefabricated house nearby, and said: "The demolition work here is progressing slowly, and foreign workers have been working all the time, just a few people and a few machines."
"I told them not to start work first, so that we can search for work."
"Call their leaders over. It's best to have an impression of the previous architectural deconstruction, and it's best to have blueprints." Gu Chen said.
"I'll go." Seeing this, Yuan Shasha volunteered.
After getting Gu Chen's permission, Yuan Shasha ran towards the board room in small steps.
It didn't take long for Gu Chen to discover that Yuan Shasha brought a fat middle-aged man and was looking for them in the direction everyone was searching for.
The fat man still held a roll of blueprints in his hand, as if to help.
"Senior brother Gu, he is the leader of the demolition here, and he has the previous blueprints in his hand." After Yuan Shasha finished speaking, she took the initiative to give up her position.
The fat man took the initiative to come over, Gu Chen also asked him: "Are you the leader?"
"I'm not a leader, I just manage a few people under my command." The middle-aged fat man spoke modestly.
It seemed that he was also afraid of taking responsibility, so he didn't dare to blow it up in front of Gu Chen.
Gu Chen pointed to the blueprint in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
"Oh, this is the blueprint of this area before. I found it in the demolished office building. I think the blueprint is not bad. It can give me a table or something, so I picked it up."
"No, the beautiful policeman asked me if I had any previous blueprints here? I thought, there really are, so I came here with the beautiful policeman."
The middle-aged fat man's voice fell, and he directly handed the blueprint in his hand to Gu Chen.
After Gu Chen took over, he took advantage of the opportunity to open it, and Hu Ming, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei also took advantage of the opportunity to move over.
"Hu Ming." Gu Chen reminded Hu Ming, and said, "Now that the blueprint is available, please take a good look and see where the secret passage was before?"
"Wait a moment." At this moment, Hu Ming also calmed down, and began to compare and refer to it from time to time according to the plan drawing in Gu Chen's hand.
From time to time, I raised my head to look into the distance, and then returned to the drawings, and the cycle went on and on.
After 40 seconds, Hu Ming pointed to an area and said: "Yes, the previous secret passage is over there. There used to be a big tree over there, but this big tree has been dug away. How can I find it?" no."
"Are you sure?" Seeing that Hu Ming seemed very sure, Gu Chen still wanted to ask.
"Sure." Hu Ming nodded fiercely.
"Okay, you lead the way." Gu Chen handed the blueprint to Hu Ming, and then let Hu Ming walk in front.
Therefore, all the civilian auxiliary police officers who participated in the search followed Hu Ming and walked in another direction.
Officer Wang was walking beside Gu Chen, and could not help complaining in a low voice: "Isn't the deviation too big? It's obviously over there, but he let us search here for a long time, it's really deceitful."
"Then why didn't you ask the person in charge here in advance? Aren't you going to use your brain like Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing Comrade Wang complaining endlessly, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sarcasm.
Afterwards, everyone came to the deconstructed and weird buildings.
After repeated confirmation, Hu Ming said, "This is right here. There is a wasteland behind. In the past, there were many nearby residents who came here to cultivate vegetable gardens and grow vegetables."
"The wasteland can always be connected to the outside, but there is a fence between the wasteland and the chemical plant, and there is a water tower inside the fence, which often starts to pump water when it reaches a designated location."
"I don't know if it's a tacit understanding or something? In short, when the factory pumps water, a nearby water pipe always leaks, and then the water flows through the terrain and stays near the fence."
"The local villagers are very clever. They dug a hole in the fence, allowing the water to flow along the hole and the ditches dug by the villagers into a puddle."
"In this way, the villagers use the water here to water their vegetables."
"Are you not afraid of pollution from chemical plants?" Yuan Shasha asked.
Hu Ming grinned: "Of course I was afraid, but who cared so much at that time?"
"Besides, the water in the water tower in the factory area is clean. Using the water here to irrigate vegetables saves time and effort."
"Then why is this a secret passage?" Lu Weiwei was still puzzled.
Gu Chen smiled slightly and continued to explain: "Because more and more people are cultivating vegetable fields near here, and the water in the puddle is not enough."
"In fact, most of the leaked water in the factory area has not been used."
"So that later, I don't know which bold villager used tools to cut a small hole in the nearby wall that can only accommodate one person."
"In this way, many villagers entered the factory area through this small hole, and began to tamper with the water pipes for pumping water, causing damage."
"The joints of these thin steel pipes caused serious water leakage, and they took advantage of the opportunity to dig a tunnel with hoes in the factory area."
"In this way, more clean water sources will pass through the tunnels inside the factory area and flow into the earth pit continuously from afar, and the water sources will become more and more."
"Then no one cares about it?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Hu Ming grinned: "Take care? How do you take care of it? You block the hole today, and they will dig it open for you tomorrow. The people in the factory don't have so much energy, so they just turn a blind eye. .”
"However, nearby residents are required not to enter the factory area and can only fetch water."
"In this way, this kind of tacit understanding has been formed for a long time. Due to the appearance of holes, it also connects the factory area with the outside world."
"So, through the family area, we can climb over the small wall and enter the factory."
"This is our childhood paradise. In the factory area, we have to avoid the workers at work and enter the factory area to play. Sometimes it is more like an adventure, but we can go through the wall near the water tower and come to another location."
Taking a deep breath, Hu Ming said again: "There is a beautiful village here, and the scenery is also particularly beautiful, so we are deeply attracted."
"Is it here?" Gu Chen pointed to the ruins of a water tower in front of him, and couldn't help asking Hu Ming.
Hu Ming nodded silently: "That's right, it's here. Back then, there was a water tower and a big tree. We also built a tree house on the tree. Anyway, this should be the paradise for the children in our family area."
"Because this area belongs to the factory area, but it is not considered a production area, so the adults didn't take much care of it at the time, so it became our secret base and the secret passage outside."
"Could it be that Wan Xiaomin left through here?" Lu Weiwei crossed her arms, hesitated, and then glanced at Hu Ming beside her.
Hu Ming took two steps, searched carefully, and was startled by the weeds in front of him. He couldn't help saying: "The weeds have grown taller than people. I remember that this place used to be a small road."
"There is a path." An auxiliary policeman searched through the weeds, then turned around and said:
"There is a path made of gravel, leading to the weed pile."
"Is anyone passing here?" Gu Chen asked.
The auxiliary policeman lowered his body, checked, and said: "It is possible to pass, it seems that someone walked by, and the surrounding weeds look like they have been broken."
While the auxiliary police were speaking, Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha, and Hu Ming came to the scene.
Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong also came over.
A group of people, standing in front of the weed pile, couldn't help checking the path in front of them.
Hu Ming also took a step forward and said, "That's right, this used to be a field of weeds, but when it rains, the ground will be wet."
"If we want to go through this area on weekends and go to the villages outside, we have to take this dirt road, but every time we get our shoes dirty."
"Later, when our little friends made up their minds, we found some gravel blocks from nearby, and piled them up bit by bit to form this gravel path. In total... it took about a month, right?"
"Are you guys really good at building roads?" Lu Weiwei took a few steps forward, already infected by the gloomy atmosphere in the weed pile, she couldn't help breaking up and said:
"But why do I feel weird in here? There is an ominous premonition."
What Lu Weiwei said was actually a psychological hint.
The weeds in front have grown taller than people.
When people want to walk in, it feels like entering another world.
All the plants are magnified, the weeds are lush, and it feels like animals like snakes will appear in the grass at any time.
In other words, the body of Wan Xiaomin, the missing person, will appear?
Although Wan Xiaomin is very likely to disappear now, after all, no trace of Wan Xiaomin has been found.
Moreover, judging from yesterday, Wan Xiaomin's visit late at night must have seemed very strange.
But Wan Xiaomin himself cannot be contacted now, and the road ahead is extremely strange.
This will inevitably make Lu Weiwei feel that, one step ahead, Wan Xiaomin's body will appear in the weeds and scare you.
"Lu Weiwei, are you going or not?" Officer Wang saw Lu Weiwei standing in a daze in front of the gravel path, so he couldn't help reminding her.
"Ah?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei recovered from the state of meditation just now, and turned to Police Officer Wang, "Old Wang, what did you just say?"
"I said if you don't go, you should make way and don't get stuck in the middle of the road, okay?" Officer Wang was also speechless for a while, and quickly pushed Lu Weiwei aside.
With weeds coming from it, the plants flourished and even blocked the light.
So there is some horror atmosphere.
In addition, the purpose of everyone coming here is to find Wan Xiaomin, so everyone knows what will happen in front of them? It feels predictable.
After all, everyone has searched the other areas carefully, and now there is only this mysterious passage left, which can be guessed with your toes. If Wan Xiaomin disappeared, he might have left here.
But what if there is a woman's body hidden in the weeds ahead?
Thinking of this, Police Officer Wang was also stunned suddenly.
But now it was Lu Weiwei's turn to be upset, and asked directly: "Old Wang, what are you doing? If you don't leave, let's get out of the way. Why are you standing here in a daze?"
"Ah?" Officer Wang, like Lu Weiwei, reacted from the state of meditation just now.
The meditation picture that emerged in my mind suddenly disappeared like a burst bubble, with a "pop".
"Let me clear the way." Seeing that everyone stopped here, Gu Chen simply pulled out the mechanical baton from the police equipment.
Then he swung it vigorously, and began to use the mechanical baton as a pathfinding stick, pushing aside the nearby weeds blocking the road from time to time.
With the blessing of Gu Chen's master-level observation skills, Gu Chen quickly discovered that there were actually many signs of artificial breakage on the nearby gravel path.
It's as if someone has been here before and was broken because of the plants blocking the way.
As soon as he walked into the dense weeds, Gu Chen stopped in his tracks.
Lu Weiwei, who didn't stop in time, directly bumped her head on Gu Chen's back, and then said "Ouch", she quickly rubbed her forehead and asked Gu Chen:
"Junior Brother Gu, why did you stop again?"
"Senior Sister Lu, look, these broken plant traces are very new, as if they were broken recently." Gu Chen pointed with a mechanical baton.
Afterwards, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha poked their heads out to observe carefully according to Gu Chen's words.
"Really." Officer Wang squinted his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "This is obviously a wasteland, and most people wouldn't walk this kind of weird secret path, right? And the people who can know this secret path now, I guess It’s also very few.”
After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "Besides, the people in the family area have basically moved out, and the rest are a group of old ladies and old men. They shouldn't come here if they have nothing to do, but why? The creases of these plants are all new? Could it be that..."
"Could it be that Wan Xiaomin really came here last night? And the latest creases on these plants were caused by Wan Xiaomin's passage?" Lu Weiwei also quickly put forward her own opinion based on her train of thought.
Of course, this is everyone's opinion.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said involuntarily: "Someone must have passed by here, everyone slow down, pay more attention to the surrounding situation, and report immediately if there are clues."
"Understood." At Gu Chen's prompt, everyone behind him agreed in unison.
So, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang also turned on the law enforcement recorder and began to investigate the surrounding situation.
Gu Chen pointed the lens of the law enforcement camera at the plants in this section, and recorded the scene.
Also slow down, start to use the mechanical baton to explore the way, keep going, keep walking...
I don't know how long I walked, but Gu Chen felt that he had walked a long way in this huge weedy field, so he stopped and turned to ask Hu Ming behind him.
"Hu Ming."
"I'm here?" Hu Ming, who patted Yuan Shasha's back, immediately responded when he heard the words.
"Come here, come here." Gu Chen reminded.
"Okay." Hu Ming responded, and immediately walked past Yuan Shasha, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, walked up to Gu Chen, and asked, "Officer Gu, what's the matter?"
"Are you sure you didn't go the wrong way? Why does it feel like we've been walking around here for a long time?" Gu Chen was a little suspicious now.
But Hu Ming didn't respond immediately, but squatted down and checked the gravel on the ground.
The gravel path is unusually sparse at this moment, and many of the stones are covered in weeds, so they are not obvious.
Some simply have adobe bricks at intervals, which can be seen to be convenient for people not to pollute their shoes with mud on rainy days.
Hu Ming clapped his hands immediately, stood up and said: "It's not wrong, this is already a brick road, if I guessed correctly, you can walk a little further and you can come to the outside of the chemical plant."
"Okay." With Hu Ming's affirmation, Gu Chen also agreed, and then let Hu Ming follow behind him, while he walked in front.
At this moment, Gu Chen pays attention to all the movements around him, especially the abnormalities that may appear in the weeds at any time.
"Swish, swish!"
At this moment, there was a strange movement in the weed pile.
...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Gu Chen's analysis made Lu Weiwei feel terrified for a while.
As Gu Chen said, the title "mysterious man" is only relative.
It is indeed mysterious to everyone, after all, the identity is unknown, and the face cannot be seen clearly.
But for Wan Xiaomin, maybe they are real acquaintances.
It can be seen that the relationship between the mysterious man and Wan Xiaomin is indeed extraordinary, and even Hu Ming, his first love, has to stand aside.
After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, since the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory is so mysterious, instead of waiting here for Lao Wang and the others, why don't we go directly to support them, what do you think?"
"That's fine." In fact, Gu Chen also had the same meaning. Under Lu Weiwei's suggestion, Gu Chen also said along the way:
"Senior Brother He, I'll leave this to you. If there is any latest progress, remember to notify us as soon as possible."
"No problem." He Junchao agreed quite readily.
Afterwards, Gu Chen explained some other things, and then took Lu Weiwei and drove to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city.
Came to the previous location again. At this time, two police cars were already parked on the side of the road.
At this time, everyone has gone to the ruins area to investigate.
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were not far behind either. After contacting Police Officer Wang and confirming the final area, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei trotted all the way, passed through an open iron fence, and entered the ruined area.
At this moment, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Ding Liang, the helpers brought by Huang Zunlong, Hu Ming and others lined up on various broken ruins and started a carpet search.
Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had arrived, Police Officer Wang immediately complained: "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, you are here. I feel like this search is not an option? This Hu Ming can't remember clearly. Where are the secret routes back then? area."
"Really?" Seeing that Police Officer Wang was a little embarrassed, Gu Chen simply walked up to Hu Ming and asked him:
"Hu Ming, what's going on?"
"Officer Gu, I... don't blame me for this." Hu Ming felt wronged at the moment, and complained again and again:
"It wasn't a ruin before, and all kinds of buildings were in this area.
But if you look at the present, there are ruins everywhere, whole pieces, and the demolition is not standardized, here and there, I am almost confused by the ruins here. "
"You want to confirm the position? Sorry, I'm a little dizzy now."
"Where's the person in charge here?" Seeing that Hu Ming also had some headaches, Gu Chen asked Police Officer Wang again.
Police officer Wang pointed to the location of a prefabricated house nearby, and said: "The demolition work here is progressing slowly, and foreign workers have been working all the time, just a few people and a few machines."
"I told them not to start work first, so that we can search for work."
"Call their leaders over. It's best to have an impression of the previous architectural deconstruction, and it's best to have blueprints." Gu Chen said.

"However, nearby residents are required not to enter the factory area and can only fetch water."
"In this way, this kind of tacit understanding has been formed for a long time. Due to the appearance of holes, it also connects the factory area with the outside world."
"So, through the family area, we can climb over the small wall and enter the factory."
"This is our childhood paradise. In the factory area, we have to avoid the workers at work and enter the factory area to play. Sometimes it is more like an adventure, but we can go through the wall near the water tower and come to another location."

Lu Weiwei, who didn't stop in time, directly bumped her head on Gu Chen's back, and then said "Ouch", she quickly rubbed her forehead and asked Gu Chen:

Gu Chen pointed the lens of the law enforcement camera at the plants in this section, and recorded the scene.
Also slow down, start to use the mechanical baton to explore the way, keep going, keep walking...
I don't know how long I walked, but Gu Chen felt that he had walked a long way in this huge weedy field, so he stopped and turned to ask Hu Ming behind him.
"Hu Ming."
"I'm here?" Hu Ming, who patted Yuan Shasha's back, immediately responded when he heard the words.
"Come here, come here." Gu Chen reminded.
"Okay." Hu Ming responded, and immediately walked past Yuan Shasha, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei, walked up to Gu Chen, and asked, "Officer Gu, what's the matter?"
"Are you sure you didn't go the wrong way? Why does it feel like we've been walking around here for a long time?" Gu Chen was a little suspicious now.
But Hu Ming didn't respond immediately, but squatted down and checked the gravel on the ground.
The gravel path is unusually sparse at this moment, and many of the stones are covered in weeds, so they are not obvious.
Some simply have adobe bricks at intervals, which can be seen to be convenient for people not to pollute their shoes with mud on rainy days.
Hu Ming clapped his hands immediately, stood up and said: "It's not wrong, this is already a brick road, if I guessed correctly, you can walk a little further and you can come to the outside of the chemical plant."
"Okay." With Hu Ming's affirmation, Gu Chen also agreed, and then let Hu Ming follow behind him, while he walked in front.
At this moment, Gu Chen pays attention to all the movements around him, especially the abnormalities that may appear in the weeds at any time.
"Swish, swish!"
At this moment, there was a strange movement in the weed pile.
...
Gu Chen's analysis made Lu Weiwei feel terrified for a while. As Gu Chen said, the title "mysterious man" is only relative. It is indeed mysterious to everyone, after all, the identity is unknown, and the face cannot be seen clearly. But for Wan Xiaomin, maybe they are real acquaintances. It can be seen that the relationship between the mysterious man and Wan Xiaomin is indeed extraordinary, and even Hu Ming, his first love, has to stand aside. After thinking about it, Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, since the family area of Chengxi Chemical Factory is so mysterious, instead of waiting here for Lao Wang and the others, why don't we go directly to support them, what do you think?" "That's fine." In fact, Gu Chen also had the same meaning. Under Lu Weiwei's suggestion, Gu Chen also said along the way: "Senior Brother He, I'll leave this to you. If there is any latest progress, remember to notify us as soon as possible." "No problem." He Junchao agreed quite readily. Afterwards, Gu Chen explained some other things, and then took Lu Weiwei and drove to the family area of the chemical factory in the west of the city. Came to the previous location again. At this time, two police cars were already parked on the side of the road. At this time, everyone has gone to the ruins area to investigate. Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were not far behind either. After contacting Police Officer Wang and confirming the final area, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei trotted all the way, passed through an open iron fence, and entered the ruined area. At this moment, Police Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Ding Liang, the helpers brought by Huang Zunlong, Hu Ming and others lined up on various broken ruins and started a carpet search. Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had arrived, Police Officer Wang immediately complained: "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, you are here. I feel like this search is not an option? This Hu Ming can't remember clearly. Where are the secret routes back then? area." "Really?" Seeing that Police Officer Wang was a little embarrassed, Gu Chen simply walked up to Hu Ming and asked him: "Hu Ming, what's going on?" "Officer Gu, I... don't blame me for this." Hu Ming felt wronged at the moment, and complained again and again: "It wasn't a ruin before, and all kinds of buildings were in this area. But if you look at the present, there are ruins everywhere, whole pieces, and the demolition is not standardized, here and there, I am almost confused by the ruins here. " "You want to confirm the position? Sorry, I'm a little dizzy now." "Where's the person in charge here?" Seeing that Hu Ming also had some headaches, Gu Chen asked Police Officer Wang again. Police officer Wang pointed to the location of a prefabricated house nearby, and said: "The demolition work here is progressing slowly, and foreign workers have been working all the time, just a few people and a few machines." "I told them not to start work first, so that we can search for work." "Call their leaders over. It's best to have an impression of the previous architectural deconstruction, and it's best to have blueprints." Gu Chen said. "I'll go." Seeing this, Yuan Shasha volunteered. After getting Gu Chen's permission, Yuan Shasha ran towards the board room in small steps. It didn't take long for Gu Chen to discover that Yuan Shasha brought a fat middle-aged man and was looking for them in the direction everyone was searching for. The fat man still held a roll of blueprints in his hand, as if to help. "Senior brother Gu, he is the leader of the demolition here, and he has the previous blueprints in his hand." After Yuan Shasha finished speaking, she took the initiative to give up her position. The fat man took the initiative to come over, Gu Chen also asked him: "Are you the leader?" "I'm not a leader, I just manage a few people under my command." The middle-aged fat man spoke modestly. It seemed that he was also afraid of taking responsibility, so he didn't dare to blow it up in front of Gu Chen. Gu Chen pointed to the blueprint in his hand and asked, "What is this?" "Oh, this is the blueprint of this area before. I found it in the demolished office building. I think the blueprint is not bad. It can give me a table or something, so I picked it up." "No, the beautiful policeman asked me if I had any previous blueprints here? I thought, there really are, so I came here with the beautiful policeman." The middle-aged fat man's voice fell, and he directly handed the blueprint in his hand to Gu Chen. After Gu Chen took over, he took advantage of the opportunity to open it, and Hu Ming, Police Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei also took advantage of the opportunity to move over. "Hu Ming." Gu Chen reminded Hu Ming, and said, "Now that the blueprint is available, please take a good look and see where the secret passage was before?" "Wait a moment." At this moment, Hu Ming also calmed down, and began to compare and refer to it from time to time according to the plan drawing in Gu Chen's hand. From time to time, I raised my head to look into the distance, and then returned to the drawings, and the cycle went on and on. After 40 seconds, Hu Ming pointed to an area and said: "Yes, the previous secret passage is over there. There used to be a big tree over there, but this big tree has been dug away. How can I find it?" no." "Are you sure?" Seeing that Hu Ming seemed very sure, Gu Chen still wanted to ask. "Sure." Hu Ming nodded fiercely. "Okay, you lead the way." Gu Chen handed the blueprint to Hu Ming, and then let Hu Ming walk in front. Therefore, all the civilian auxiliary police officers who participated in the search followed Hu Ming and walked in another direction. Officer Wang was walking beside Gu Chen, and could not help complaining in a low voice: "Isn't the deviation too big? It's obviously over there, but he let us search here for a long time, it's really deceitful." "Then why didn't you ask the person in charge here in advance? Aren't you going to use your brain like Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing Comrade Wang complaining endlessly, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sarcasm. Afterwards, everyone came to the deconstructed and weird buildings. After repeated confirmation, Hu Ming said, "This is right here. There is a wasteland behind. In the past, there were many nearby residents who came here to cultivate vegetable gardens and grow vegetables." "The wasteland can always be connected to the outside, but there is a fence between the wasteland and the chemical plant, and there is a water tower inside the fence, which often starts to pump water when it reaches a designated location." "I don't know if it's a tacit understanding or something? In short, when the factory pumps water, a nearby water pipe always leaks, and then the water flows through the terrain and stays near the fence." "The local villagers are very clever. They dug a hole in the fence, allowing the water to flow along the hole and the ditches dug by the villagers into a puddle." "In this way, the villagers use the water here to water their vegetables." "Are you not afraid of pollution from chemical plants?" Yuan Shasha asked. Hu Ming grinned: "Of course I was afraid, but who cared so much at that time?" "Besides, the water in the water tower in the factory area is clean. Using the water here to irrigate vegetables saves time and effort." "Then why is this a secret passage?" Lu Weiwei was still puzzled. Gu Chen smiled slightly and continued to explain: "Because more and more people are cultivating vegetable fields near here, and the water in the puddle is not enough." "In fact, most of the leaked water in the factory area has not been used." "So that later, I don't know which bold villager used tools to cut a small hole in the nearby wall that can only accommodate one person." "In this way, many villagers entered the factory area through this small hole, and began to tamper with the water pipes for pumping water, causing damage." "The joints of these thin steel pipes caused serious water leakage, and they took advantage of the opportunity to dig a tunnel with hoes in the factory area." "In this way, more clean water sources will pass through the tunnels inside the factory area and flow into the earth pit continuously from afar, and the water sources will become more and more." "Then no one cares about it?" Lu Weiwei asked. Hu Ming grinned: "Take care? How do you take care of it? You block the hole today, and they will dig it open for you tomorrow. The people in the factory don't have so much energy, so they just turn a blind eye. . "However, nearby residents are required not to enter the factory area and can only fetch water." "In this way, this kind of tacit understanding has been formed for a long time. Due to the appearance of holes, it also connects the factory area with the outside world." "So, through the family area, we can climb over the small wall and enter the factory." "This is our childhood paradise. In the factory area, we have to avoid the workers at work and enter the factory area to play. Sometimes it is more like an adventure, but we can go through the wall near the water tower and come to another location." Taking a deep breath, Hu Ming said again: "There is a beautiful village here, and the scenery is also particularly beautiful, so we are deeply attracted." "Is it here?" Gu Chen pointed to the ruins of a water tower in front of him, and couldn't help asking Hu Ming. Hu Ming nodded silently: "That's right, it's here. Back then, there was a water tower and a big tree. We also built a tree house on the tree. Anyway, this should be the paradise for the children in our family area." "Because this area belongs to the factory area, but it is not considered a production area, so the adults didn't take much care of it at the time, so it became our secret base and the secret passage outside." "Could it be that Wan Xiaomin left through here?" Lu Weiwei crossed her arms, hesitated, and then glanced at Hu Ming beside her. Hu Ming took two steps, searched carefully, and was startled by the weeds in front of him. He couldn't help saying: "The weeds have grown taller than people. I remember that this place used to be a small road." "There is a path." An auxiliary policeman searched through the weeds, then turned around and said: "There is a path made of gravel, leading to the weed pile." "Is anyone passing here?" Gu Chen asked. The auxiliary policeman lowered his body, checked, and said: "It is possible to pass, it seems that someone walked by, and the surrounding weeds look like they have been broken." While the auxiliary police were speaking, Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei, Yuan Shasha, and Hu Ming came to the scene. Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong also came over. A group of people, standing in front of the weed pile, couldn't help checking the path in front of them. Hu Ming also took a step forward and said, "That's right, this used to be a field of weeds, but when it rains, the ground will be wet." "If we want to go through this area on weekends and go to the villages outside, we have to take this dirt road, but every time we get our shoes dirty." "Later, when our little friends made up their minds, we found some gravel blocks from nearby, and piled them up bit by bit to form this gravel path. In total... it took about a month, right?" "Are you guys really good at building roads?" Lu Weiwei took a few steps forward, already infected by the gloomy atmosphere in the weed pile, she couldn't help breaking up and said: "But why do I feel weird in here? There is an ominous premonition." What Lu Weiwei said was actually a psychological hint. The weeds in front have grown taller than people. When people want to walk in, it feels like entering another world. All the plants are magnified, the weeds are lush, and it feels like animals like snakes will appear in the grass at any time. In other words, the body of Wan Xiaomin, the missing person, will appear? Although Wan Xiaomin is very likely to disappear now, after all, no trace of Wan Xiaomin has been found. Moreover, judging from yesterday, Wan Xiaomin's visit late at night must have seemed very strange. But Wan Xiaomin himself cannot be contacted now, and the road ahead is extremely strange. This will inevitably make Lu Weiwei feel that, one step ahead, Wan Xiaomin's body will appear in the weeds and scare you. "Lu Weiwei, are you going or not?" Officer Wang saw Lu Weiwei standing in a daze in front of the gravel path, so he couldn't help reminding her. "Ah?" Hearing this, Lu Weiwei recovered from the state of meditation just now, and turned to Police Officer Wang, "Old Wang, what did you just say?" "I said if you don't go, you should make way and don't get stuck in the middle of the road, okay?" Officer Wang was also speechless for a while, and quickly pushed Lu Weiwei aside. With weeds coming from it, the plants flourished and even blocked the light. So there is some horror atmosphere. In addition, the purpose of everyone coming here is to find Wan Xiaomin, so everyone knows what will happen in front of them? It feels predictable. After all, everyone has searched the other areas carefully, and now there is only this mysterious passage left, which can be guessed with your toes. If Wan Xiaomin disappeared, he might have left here. But what if there is a woman's body hidden in the weeds ahead? Thinking of this, Police Officer Wang was also stunned suddenly. But now it was Lu Weiwei's turn to be upset, and asked directly: "Old Wang, what are you doing? If you don't leave, let's get out of the way. Why are you standing here in a daze?" "Ah?" Officer Wang, like Lu Weiwei, reacted from the state of meditation just now. The meditation picture that emerged in my mind suddenly disappeared like a burst bubble, with a "pop". "Let me clear the way." Seeing that everyone stopped here, Gu Chen simply pulled out the mechanical baton from the police equipment. Then he swung it vigorously, and began to use the mechanical baton as a pathfinding stick, pushing aside the nearby weeds blocking the road from time to time. With the blessing of Gu Chen's master-level observation skills, Gu Chen quickly discovered that there were actually many signs of artificial breakage on the nearby gravel path. It's as if someone has been here before and was broken because of the plants blocking the way. As soon as he walked into the dense weeds, Gu Chen stopped in his tracks. Lu Weiwei, who didn't stop in time, directly bumped her head on Gu Chen's back, and then said "Ouch", she quickly rubbed her forehead and asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, why did you stop again?" "Senior Sister Lu, look, these broken plant traces are very new, as if they were broken recently." Gu Chen pointed with a mechanical baton. Afterwards, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha poked their heads out to observe carefully according to Gu Chen's words. "Really." Officer Wang squinted his eyes, and said thoughtfully: "This is obviously a wasteland, and most people wouldn't walk this kind of weird secret path, right? And the people who can know this secret path now, I guess It's also very few. After a pause, Officer Wang said again: "Besides, the people in the family area have basically moved out, and the rest are a group of old ladies and old men. They shouldn't come here if they have nothing to do, but why? The creases of these plants are all new? Could it be that..." "Could it be that Wan Xiaomin really came here last night? And the latest creases on these plants were caused by Wan Xiaomin's passage?" Lu Weiwei also quickly put forward her own opinion based on her train of thought. Of course, this is everyone's opinion. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said involuntarily: "Someone must have passed by here, everyone slow down, pay more attention to the surrounding situation, and report immediately if there are clues." "Understood." At Gu Chen's prompt, everyone behind him agreed in unison. So, Lu Weiwei and Police Officer Wang also turned on the law enforcement recorder and began to investigate the surrounding situation. Gu Chen pointed the lens of the law enforcement camera at the plants in this section, and recorded the scene. Also slow down, start to use the mechanical baton to explore the way, keep going, keep walking... I don't know how long I walked, but Gu Chen felt that he had walked a long way in this huge weedy field, so he stopped and turned to ask Hu Ming behind him. "Hu Ming." "I'm here?" Hu Ming, who patted Yuan Shasha's back, immediately responded when he heard the words. "Come here, come here." Gu Chen reminded. "Okay."
