Listening to Police Officer Wang's narration, Gu Chen felt more and more that the person on duty at the reservoir was a little weird.
At least the abnormal behavior has aroused everyone's suspicion, but at this time, the door on duty has been unable to open for a long time.
Seeing this situation, Gu Chen didn't care too much.
He looked up at the gate of the reservoir.
Although it was just an iron gate, although it was only more than 3 meters high, it was not difficult for Gu Chen to climb up the iron gate.
The main thing is to prevent the sharp thorns on the iron door from cutting the skin.
Gu Chen turned to look at Police Officer Wang, and said, "Senior Brother Wang, please support me."
"Ah?" Officer Wang, who reacted a little slower, was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
So he turned around, clasped his hands behind his back, made a supporting motion with his back to the iron gate, and said, "Gu Chen, come on, pay attention to safety."
Gu Chen took a few steps back, then looked at the direction of the iron gate, immediately ran in small steps, and then kicked his left leg.
His right leg was firmly on Officer Wang's palms.
With the help of Officer Wang's upward lifting action, Gu Chen kicked his right leg.
The whole person jumped up like a spring.
After a while, Gu Chen firmly grasped the two sharp corners on the top of the iron gate, and used his body's flexibility to climb quickly.
After carefully climbing over the spikes of the iron gate, Gu Chen climbed backwards and then jumped lightly.
Lu Weiwei, Police Officer Wang and Yuan Shasha outside the door only heard a light landing movement, and then heard the door lock start to twist.
There was only a "click" sound, and the door was slowly pushed open.
Gu Chen waved and said, "Follow me."
Everyone didn't stay too long, and ran quickly towards the duty room.
It was still the same place as before, but the door of the duty room at this moment was concealed there.
According to what the staff in the duty room said before, due to the loud noise of the reservoir, the glass and doors have been sound-proofed.
Therefore, when the duty officer stays in the duty room, he usually closes the door to isolate the noise.
But at this moment, the door is concealed there, so it can be seen that the attendant is not here.
But Gu Chen didn't think much about it, he just opened the door and walked in.
At this moment, the items in the room are still intact, and there seems to be no trace of being touched.
However, the attendant at this time was nowhere to be seen.
Without thinking too much, Gu Chen immediately opened the duty room compartment and came to the small monitoring room.
By manipulating the monitoring equipment, Gu Chen discovered that after Gu Chen and the others bid farewell to the watchman, the watchman quickly walked towards the reservoir road.
And all of this was captured by surveillance cameras at the intersection.
Afterwards, Gu Chen kept speeding up the progress until he saw himself walking into the duty room, and there was no trace of the duty officer.
"Damn it." Seeing this scene, Officer Wang said angrily, "There must be something wrong with this guy."
"As soon as we left, he ran away and hasn't come back yet."
"That's right, this guy is very suspicious. It seems that Junior Brother Gu is right. This person on duty is the problem." Lu Weiwei now believes what Gu Chen said before.
Yuan Shasha also said: "Then let's go after it now, maybe there is still time, at least we have to find this watchman."...
"As long as you find this person on duty, I think you will be able to find Wang Xinyu. After all, he bought so many snacks strangely in the past few days, he must be sending supplies to Wang Xinyu."
"En." Hearing everyone's remarks, Gu Chen also nodded silently, and said quickly:
"It's now, everyone hurry up to chase, we can't let this guy escape from our sight again."
Following Gu Chen's order, everyone rushed out of the duty room immediately.
Officer Wang opened the iron gate of the reservoir, while Gu Chen drove into the reservoir area.
The four got back into the police car and began to search for the past along the reservoir passage.
The Reservoir Highway is built along the mountain, and because there are few passing vehicles, it is a narrow one-way lane.
However, if there are vehicles converging, there will be a space for meeting cars at every other distance on the one-way lane here.
The space here is relatively loose.
However, the reservoir road is winding, and the distance is not long.
Before long, we came to the end of the reservoir.
At this moment, no one found the attendant on duty.
After parking the vehicle in the spacious area of the reservoir road camera, Gu Chen and the others quickly got out of the car and began to conduct a detailed investigation of the surrounding area.
Gu Chen found that there was a narrow path at the end of the reservoir leading up the mountain.
The muddy path is man-made, although it is narrow, it can be passed.
But so far, everyone is not clear whether the watchman has fled to the mountain?
But the gate of the reservoir has never been out.
Lu Weiwei thought over and over again, and asked Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, do you want to go up?"
"Yes." Gu Chen's answer was concise and earnest: "The focus now is to find the person on duty at the reservoir."
"Only by finding the person on duty at the reservoir can he tell us where Wang Xinyu is?"
"Wang Xinyu, who disappeared, is likely to have been taken away by the reservoir watchman and transferred."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen looked at the crowd and reminded Police Officer Wang: "Senior Brother Wang, why don't you stay at the gate of the reservoir and report to us immediately if there is any situation."
"I'll take Senior Sister Lu and Xiao Yuan to the mountain to see if I can find any clues."
"Alright." Thinking that the other side of the reservoir gate could not be left unattended, Police Officer Wang hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed.
Afterwards, everyone took off the single police equipment in the car and started to head up the mountain.
Before going to the mountain, Gu Chen also opened the satellite map of the mobile phone to check the specific clues.
Since the mobile phone satellite map is a civilian board, if you want to continue to zoom in on the picture, it will be directly displayed and cannot be viewed.
So Gu Chen can only roughly see that this is a Mohu trail.
As for where? From the map, when the line came to the mountains, it became a dotted line, but there was no guidance.
Therefore, Gu Chen guessed that this is also a dead end.
Along the way, Gu Chen was also paying attention to the changes under his feet, and found that the surrounding vegetation had many signs of being broken.
Moreover, the broken plants seem to be very new, almost without much time.
Since Gu Chen has trained in the jungle and is on this single route, it is not difficult to find it. …
Along the direction of the broken vegetation, Gu Chen led Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha non-stop.
The mountain road is getting narrower and steeper.
The climbing rhythm of the three also slowed down significantly as the steep slope appeared.
"Junior Brother Gu, slow down, I can't keep up with your rhythm." Lu Weiwei was out of breath, feeling that Gu Chen's speed was impossible for her to keep up with.
Yuan Shasha also complained a little bit: "The hillside is too steep, and I feel that my strength is gradually being consumed."
"Obviously I still have strength, but on this steep slope, I can't exert my strength."
"No rush." Seeing that the two had obviously fallen behind, Gu Chen was afraid that they would have an accident in the mountains, so Gu Chen hurriedly stopped and began to investigate the surrounding area.
A minute later, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha came to Gu Chen's side with difficulty.
The two were out of breath, and began to look around according to Gu Chen's gaze.
Lu Weiwei asked: "Junior Brother Gu, did you find anything?"
"There are some new footprints here." Gu Chen pointed to an area ahead.
Yuan Shasha immediately bowed forward and examined it carefully.
Not long after, Yuan Shasha also nodded silently, and confirmed: "Yes, this footprint is indeed the latest, and the vegetation here, the creases are obviously broken."
"And the broken stems and vines are also very fresh. They should have been broken not long ago, which means that the person hasn't traveled far."
"Are you okay?" Gu Chen turned to look at Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha.
Although she was exhausted, Lu Weiwei still said that she had no problem.
Gu Chen then looked at Yuan Shasha again.
Yuan Shasha also nodded silently, and said with a wry smile, "I can do it too."
"Then let's go." Gu Chen desperately wanted to find the person on duty at the reservoir.
To be precise, Gu Chen is eager to find Wang Xinyu.
Because only by finding Wang Xinyu can the mystery of the rotting corpse be finally solved.
But now, everyone who has come into contact with Wang Xinyu seems to have become mysterious.
Especially the reservoir watchman.
Gu Chen can now conclude that when everyone was under the Rainbow Bridge, the residual body temperature in the tent may have come from the reservoir watchman.
And the reservoir watchman knows this area quite well, so climbing the reservoir is also very easy.
But now, after everyone asked, he hurriedly left the duty room and disappeared inside the reservoir.
This made it impossible for Gu Chen to rule out the suspicion of the reservoir watchman no matter where he guessed from.
"Swish, swish!"
As the three of them continued to move towards the depths of the dense forest, the signs of the surrounding vegetation breaking off became more and more obvious.
However, just as Gu Chen was about to search for a higher place, Yuan Shasha behind her suddenly screamed, and Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen hurriedly raised their police batons and made a defensive move.
After a while, Gu Chen hurriedly asked Yuan Shasha, "Xiao Yuan, what's the matter?"
"Gu...Senior Brother Gu, look at that!" Yuan Shasha pointed tremblingly not far ahead.
Gu Chen also followed Yuan Shasha's guidance, and soon discovered that in front of everyone on the right was a tree with a crooked neck.
At this time, on the crooked neck tree, there was a figure hanging above it.
Due to the occlusion of vegetation, the observation line of sight here is not obvious.
Only the prototype of a human head can be seen. …
It's no wonder that Yuan Shasha just now screamed suddenly.
Gu Chen frowned, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
"Go, go and have a look." Gu Chen didn't have time to think about it, so he quickened his pace and quickly climbed towards a higher place.
Since the trails here are all dirt, it is a bit difficult to climb up, and even slippery.
But Gu Chen took the shortest time to climb to the mountainside first.
At this moment, the figure under the crooked-necked tree is now clearly visible.
As the breeze blows, a hanged man is spinning with the wind.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha who rushed over in time also came to Gu Chen's side.
The three of them stared forward, and everyone was dumbfounded.
"Yes... it's the reservoir watchman, he's right." Lu Weiwei exclaimed.
Yuan Shasha also couldn't believe it: "But why did he hang himself here?"
"From the monitoring, we can clearly see that he walked into the mountain here by himself, and no one followed him, but what happened to him?"
"Don't worry about these things, just go over and have a look." Without hesitation, Gu Chen quickly stepped over a few tree vines blocking the way, and walked directly under the crooked neck tree.
When he came to the reservoir attendant, Gu Chen found that the hands of the reservoir attendant were not tied, but fell naturally.
Only his own neck was tied with a rope.
And Gu Chen looked at the feet of the reservoir watchman, and there were some slopes that had been piled up temporarily.
There are vines and stones.
These scattered objects, after the reservoir attendant hangs himself, only need to use his legs lightly, and they will become scattered, so that the reservoir attendant has no support underneath.
Seeing this situation, Gu Chen quickly hugged the legs of the reservoir attendant and sent him upwards.
At this time, the reservoir watchman, the rope around his neck, had already strangled him very tightly.
No matter how hard Gu Chen tried, he couldn't see the rope of the reservoir watchman untie.
Seeing that he had done useless work here, Gu Chen gave up decisively.
Afterwards, Gu Chen glanced at the crooked neck tree next to his eyes, and with a few light movements, he climbed up to the top of the tree, took out his police dagger, and began to rub against the strong rope.
As the last rope was cut, the body of the reservoir watchman fell to the ground with a plop.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha quickly put on their white gloves and began to examine the deceased.
Gu Chen, who jumped off the treetop, also came to the dead man.
"Junior Brother Gu, there are no obvious signs of fighting on the body of the deceased. It doesn't look like he was hung from a tree after fighting with someone." Lu Weiwei hurriedly reported the situation to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen frowned: "That is to say, the person on duty at the reservoir probably committed suicide?"
"That's right, at present, the possibility of suicide is very high." Yuan Shasha pointed to the dead man's hands and said:
"Senior Brother Gu, look, the hands of the deceased are not bound, and there are some strangle marks in the palms."
"And these strangulation marks are likely to be wounds caused by friction when binding these ropes."
"But apart from this, no obvious wounds were found on other parts of the body of the deceased."
"Let me check it out." Feeling that the autopsy needs to be more detailed, Gu Chen began to untie the shirt of the deceased.
Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha instinctively gave way.
From the current point of view, the possibility of the reservoir watchman committing suicide is very high, so Gu Chen also needs to find enough evidence to prove the possibility of the reservoir watchman committing suicide.
Otherwise, homicide would be another existential drive.
As Gu Chen untied the deceased's clothes and began to examine the front and back of the corpse, Gu Chen was surprised to find that the deceased had almost no wounds all over his body.
Afterwards, Gu Chen checked the expression of the deceased, and found that it echoed the characteristics of suffocation death after hanging.
At this moment, Gu Chen was also full of doubts.
Why did such a well-behaved person directly choose to come to the mountain of the reservoir after being questioned by the police, and end his life by hanging himself?
Gu Chen shook his head, and also asked himself: "Who told him to do this? Or does he have to die?"

However, the reservoir road is winding, and the distance is not long. Before long, we came to the end of the reservoir. At this moment, no one found the attendant on duty. After parking the vehicle in the spacious area of the reservoir road camera, Gu Chen and the others quickly got out of the car and began to conduct a detailed investigation of the surrounding area. Gu Chen found that there was a narrow path at the end of the reservoir leading up the mountain. The muddy path is man-made, although it is narrow, it can be passed. But so far, everyone is not clear whether the watchman has fled to the mountain? But the gate of the reservoir has never been out. Lu Weiwei thought over and over again, and asked Gu Chen, "Junior Brother Gu, do you want to go up?" "Yes." Gu Chen's answer was concise and earnest: "The focus now is to find the person on duty at the reservoir." "Only by finding the person on duty at the reservoir can he tell us where Wang Xinyu is?" "Wang Xinyu, who disappeared, is likely to have been taken away by the reservoir watchman and transferred." Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen looked at the crowd and reminded Police Officer Wang: "Senior Brother Wang, why don't you stay at the gate of the reservoir and report to us immediately if there is any situation." "I'll take Senior Sister Lu and Xiao Yuan to the mountain to see if I can find any clues." "Alright." Thinking that the other side of the reservoir gate could not be left unattended, Police Officer Wang hesitated for a moment, and immediately agreed. Afterwards, everyone took off the single police equipment in the car and started to head up the mountain. Before going to the mountain, Gu Chen also opened the satellite map of the mobile phone to check the specific clues. Since the mobile phone satellite map is a civilian board, if you want to continue to zoom in on the picture, it will be directly displayed and cannot be viewed. So Gu Chen can only roughly see that this is a Mohu trail. As for where? From the map, when the line came to the mountains, it became a dotted line, but there was no guidance. Therefore, Gu Chen guessed that this is also a dead end. Along the way, Gu Chen was also paying attention to the changes under his feet, and found that the surrounding vegetation had many signs of being broken. Moreover, the broken plants seem to be very new, almost without much time. Since Gu Chen has trained in the jungle and is on this single route, it is not difficult to find it. Along the direction of the broken vegetation, Gu Chen led Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha non-stop. The mountain road is getting narrower and steeper. The climbing rhythm of the three also slowed down significantly as the steep slope appeared. "Junior Brother Gu, slow down, I can't keep up with your rhythm." Lu Weiwei was out of breath, feeling that Gu Chen's speed was impossible for her to keep up with. Yuan Shasha also complained a little bit: "The hillside is too steep, and I feel that my strength is gradually being consumed." "Obviously I still have strength, but on this steep slope, I can't exert my strength." "No rush." Seeing that the two had obviously fallen behind, Gu Chen was afraid that they would have an accident in the mountains, so Gu Chen hurriedly stopped and began to investigate the surrounding area. A minute later, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha came to Gu Chen's side with difficulty. The two were out of breath, and began to look around according to Gu Chen's gaze. Lu Weiwei asked: "Junior Brother Gu, did you find anything?" "There are some new footprints here." Gu Chen pointed to an area ahead. Yuan Shasha immediately bowed forward and examined it carefully. Not long after, Yuan Shasha also nodded silently, and confirmed: "Yes, this footprint is indeed the latest, and the vegetation here, the creases are obviously broken." "And the broken stems and vines are also very fresh. They should have been broken not long ago, which means that the person hasn't traveled far." "Are you okay?" Gu Chen turned to look at Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha. Although she was exhausted, Lu Weiwei still said that she had no problem. Gu Chen then looked at Yuan Shasha again. Yuan Shasha also nodded silently, and said with a wry smile, "I can do it too." "Then let's go." Gu Chen desperately wanted to find the person on duty at the reservoir. To be precise, Gu Chen is eager to find Wang Xinyu. Because only by finding Wang Xinyu can the mystery of the rotting corpse be finally solved. But now, everyone who has come into contact with Wang Xinyu seems to have become mysterious. Especially the reservoir watchman. Gu Chen can now conclude that when everyone was under the Rainbow Bridge, the residual body temperature in the tent may have come from the reservoir watchman. And the reservoir watchman knows this area quite well, so climbing the reservoir is also very easy. But now, after everyone asked, he hurriedly left the duty room and disappeared inside the reservoir. This made it impossible for Gu Chen to rule out the suspicion of the reservoir watchman no matter where he guessed from. "Swish, swish!" As the three of them continued to move towards the depths of the dense forest, the signs of the surrounding vegetation breaking off became more and more obvious. However, just as Gu Chen was about to search for a higher place, Yuan Shasha behind her suddenly screamed, and Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen hurriedly raised their police batons and made a defensive move. After a while, Gu Chen hurriedly asked Yuan Shasha, "Xiao Yuan, what's the matter?" "Gu...Senior Brother Gu, look at that!" Yuan Shasha pointed tremblingly not far ahead. Gu Chen also followed Yuan Shasha's guidance, and soon discovered that in front of everyone on the right was a tree with a crooked neck. At this time, on the crooked neck tree, there was a figure hanging above it. Due to the occlusion of vegetation, the observation line of sight here is not obvious. Only the prototype of a human head can be seen. It's no wonder that Yuan Shasha just now screamed suddenly. Gu Chen frowned, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart. "Go, go and have a look." Gu Chen didn't have time to think about it, so he quickened his pace and quickly climbed towards a higher place. Since the trails here are all dirt, it is a bit difficult to climb up, and even slippery. But Gu Chen took the shortest time to climb to the mountainside first. At this moment, the figure under the crooked-necked tree is now clearly visible. As the breeze blows, a hanged man is spinning with the wind. Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha who rushed over in time also came to Gu Chen's side. The three of them stared forward, and everyone was dumbfounded. "Yes... it's the reservoir watchman, he's right." Lu Weiwei exclaimed. Yuan Shasha also couldn't believe it: "But why did he hang himself here?" "From the monitoring, we can clearly see that he walked into the mountain here by himself, and no one followed him, but what happened to him?" "Don't worry about these things, just go over and have a look." Without hesitation, Gu Chen quickly stepped over a few tree vines blocking the way, and walked directly under the crooked neck tree. When he came to the reservoir attendant, Gu Chen found that the hands of the reservoir attendant were not tied, but fell naturally. Only his own neck was tied with a rope. And Gu Chen looked at the feet of the reservoir watchman, and there were some slopes that had been piled up temporarily. There are vines and stones. These scattered objects, after the reservoir attendant hangs himself, only need to use his legs lightly, and they will become scattered, so that the reservoir attendant has no support underneath. Seeing this situation, Gu Chen quickly hugged the legs of the reservoir attendant and sent him upwards. At this time, the reservoir watchman, the rope around his neck, had already strangled him very tightly. No matter how hard Gu Chen tried, he couldn't see the rope of the reservoir watchman untie. Seeing that he had done useless work here, Gu Chen gave up decisively. Afterwards, Gu Chen glanced at the crooked neck tree next to his eyes, and with a few light movements, he climbed up to the top of the tree, took out his police dagger, and began to rub against the strong rope. As the last rope was cut, the body of the reservoir watchman fell to the ground with a plop. Seeing this, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha quickly put on their white gloves and began to examine the deceased. Gu Chen, who jumped off the treetop, also came to the dead man. "Junior Brother Gu, there are no obvious signs of fighting on the body of the deceased. It doesn't look like he was hung from a tree after fighting with someone." Lu Weiwei hurriedly reported the situation to Gu Chen. Gu Chen frowned: "That is to say, the person on duty at the reservoir probably committed suicide?" "That's right, at present, the possibility of suicide is very high." Yuan Shasha pointed to the dead man's hands and said: "Senior Brother Gu, look, the hands of the deceased are not bound, and there are some strangle marks in the palms." "And these strangulation marks are likely to be wounds caused by friction when binding these ropes." "But apart from this, no obvious wounds were found on other parts of the body of the deceased." "Let me check it out." Feeling that the autopsy needs to be more detailed, Gu Chen began to untie the shirt of the deceased. Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha instinctively gave way. From the current point of view, the possibility of the reservoir watchman committing suicide is very high, so Gu Chen also needs to find enough evidence to prove the possibility of the reservoir watchman committing suicide. Otherwise, homicide would be another existential drive. As Gu Chen untied the deceased's clothes and began to examine the front and back of the corpse, Gu Chen was surprised to find that the deceased had almost no wounds all over his body. Afterwards, Gu Chen checked the expression of the deceased, and found that it echoed the characteristics of suffocation death after hanging. At this moment, Gu Chen was also full of doubts. Why did such a well-behaved person directly choose to come to the mountain of the reservoir after being questioned by the police, and end his life by hanging himself? Gu Chen shook his head, and also asked himself: "Who told him to do this? Or does he have to die?" ...
