Gu Chen's analysis made Lu Weiwei feel terrified.

As Gu Chen said, the title "mysterious man" is only a relative term.

It is indeed mysterious to everyone. After all, his identity is unknown and his face cannot be seen clearly.

But for Wan Xiaomin, he might be a real acquaintance.

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 step aside.

After Lu Weiwei thought for a while, she asked Gu Chen: "Junior Brother Gu, since the family area of ​​the Chengxi Chemical Plant is so mysterious, instead of waiting here for Lao Wang and the others, we might as well go directly to provide support. What do you think?"

"Okay." In fact, Gu Chen also had this intention. Under Lu Weiwei's suggestion, Gu Chen followed the trend and said:

"Senior Brother He, I'll leave this to you. If there is any latest progress, remember to inform us as soon as possible."

"No problem." He Junchao agreed quite readily.

Afterwards, Gu Chen explained some other things, then took Lu Weiwei and drove to the family area of ​​​​Chengxi Chemical Plant.

Arriving at the previous location again, two police cars were already parked on the side of the road.

At this time, everyone had already gone to the ruins area to investigate.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were not behind either. After contacting Officer Wang and confirming the final area, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei ran straight all the way, passing through an open iron guardrail, and then entered the ruins area.

At this moment, on the various broken ruins, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Ding Liang, the helpers brought by Huang Zunlong, and Hu Ming and others lined up to start a carpet search.

Seeing that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had arrived, Officer Wang immediately cried out: "Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, you are here. Do you feel that continuing the search like this is not an option? This Hu Ming can't remember clearly where the secret routes were.

It’s an area.”

"Really?" Seeing that 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, this...it's not my fault." Hu Ming felt aggrieved at the moment and complained repeatedly:

“This was not a ruin before, and all kinds of buildings were in this area.

But if you look at it now, there are ruins everywhere, all in pieces, and demolished in irregular ways. There are bits here and there. I am almost confused by the ruins here."

"You want to determine the direction? Sorry, I'm a little dizzy right now."

"Where is the person in charge here?" Seeing that Hu Ming also had a headache, Gu Chen asked Officer Wang again.

Police Officer Wang pointed to a nearby prefabricated house and said: "The demolition work here is progressing slowly, and the work is being done all the time. It's just a few people and a few machines."

"I asked them not to start work yet to facilitate our search."

"Call their leaders over. It's best if they have an impression of the previous building structure and have drawings." Gu Chen said.

"I'll go." Seeing this, Yuan Shasha also took the initiative to ask for help.

After getting Gu Chen's permission, Yuan Shasha ran towards the cabin in small steps.

It didn't take long for Gu Chen to discover that Yuan Shasha was leading a fat middle-aged man in the direction everyone was searching.

The fat man also held a roll of blueprints in his hand, as if he was here to help.

"Senior Brother Gu, he is the leader of the demolition here. He has the previous drawings of this place." Yuan Shasha finished speaking and took the initiative to give up her position.

The fat man came over on his own initiative, and Gu Chen asked him, "Are you the leader?"

"I'm not a leader, I just manage the number of people under my command." The fat middle-aged man spoke quite modestly.

He seemed to be afraid of taking responsibility, so he didn't dare to brag in front of Gu Chen.

Gu Chen pointed to the drawing in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

"Oh, this is a drawing of this area from before. I found it in a demolished office building. I thought the drawing was pretty good and could provide me with a table or something, so I picked it up."

"No, this beautiful policeman asked me if I had any drawings from the past here? I thought, I really did, so I came here with the beautiful policewoman."

The fat middle-aged man finished speaking and handed the drawing in his hand directly to Gu Chen.

After Gu Chen took over, he opened it and Hu Ming, Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei also took advantage of the situation and came over.

"Hu Ming." Gu Chen reminded Hu Ming and said, "Now that we have the drawings, take a closer look and see where the previous secret passage is."

"Wait a minute." At this moment, Hu Ming also calmed down and began to refer to the floor plan in Gu Chen's hand from time to time.

From time to time, I would look up into the distance, then return to the drawings, and the cycle would repeat.

40 seconds later, 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 the big tree has been dug away. How can I find it?"

Not available?"

"Are you sure?" Seeing that Hu Ming seemed very sure, Gu Chen still wanted to ask.

"OK." Hu Ming nodded firmly.

"Okay, you will lead the way." Gu Chen handed the drawings to Hu Ming, and then asked Hu Ming to go ahead.

As a result, all the surrounding civilian auxiliary police officers involved in the search followed Hu Ming and walked in another direction.

Officer Wang walked beside Gu Chen and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "Isn't this position deviation too big? It's obviously over there, but he actually asked us to search here for a long time. It's really deceiving."

"Then why don't you ask the person in charge here in advance? Aren't you going to use your brain like Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing Comrade Lao Wang complaining endlessly, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but feel sarcastic.

Afterwards, everyone came to the building with a strange structure.

After Hu Ming repeatedly confirmed it, he said: "This is it. Behind it is a wasteland. In the past, many nearby residents came here to cultivate vegetable gardens and grow vegetables."

"The wasteland can always be connected to the outside, but there is a wall between the wasteland and the chemical plant, and there is a water tower inside the wall, which often starts pumping water at a designated time."

"I don't know if it's a tacit understanding or what? In short, when the factory pumps water, a nearby water pipe will always leak, and then the water will flow through the terrain to near the wall."

"The local villagers are very smart. They dug a hole in the wall and let the water flow along the entrance of the hole and into the ditch dug by the villagers into a puddle."

"In this way, the villagers use the water here to water their vegetables."

"Aren't you 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 is clean. Using the water here to water vegetables saves time and effort."

"Then why did this become 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 around here, and the water in the puddles is not enough."

"In fact, most of the water leaking from the factory has not been used."

"So later, I don't know which bold villager used a tool to cut a small hole in the nearby wall that could only accommodate one person."

"In this way, many villagers entered the factory through this small hole and began to tamper with the water pipes and cause damage."

"The joints of these thin steel pipes caused serious water leakage, so they took advantage of the situation and used hoes to dig a tunnel in the factory area."

"In this way, more clean water sources will flow into the pits through the tunnels inside the factory, and there will be more and more water sources."

"Then no one cares about this?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Hu Ming grinned: "Care? How to care? You block the hole today, and they open it for you tomorrow. After this back and forth, the people in the factory don't have so much energy, so they simply turn a blind eye.

."

"However, nearby residents are required not to enter the factory area and can only draw water."

"In this way, this tacit understanding has been formed for a long time. Due to the emergence of holes, the factory area and the outside world are also connected."

"So, through the family area, we can climb over the small fence and enter the factory."

"This is our childhood paradise. Inside the factory, we have to avoid the workers and enter the factory 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 added: "There is a beautiful village here, and the scenery is extremely beautiful, so it attracted us deeply."

"Is this here?" Gu Chen pointed to the ruins of a water tower ahead and couldn't help but ask Hu Ming.

Hu Ming nodded silently: "Yes, this is it. There was a water tower and a big tree here. We also built a tree house on the tree. Anyway, this should be a paradise for the children in our family area."

"Although this area belongs to the factory area, it is not considered a production area, so the adults didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so it became our secret base and the secret passage outside."

"Did Wan Xiaomin leave through here?" Lu Weiwei crossed her arms, hesitated, and then glanced at Hu Ming beside her.

Hu Ming took two steps and searched carefully. He was suddenly startled by the weeds in front of him and couldn't help but said: "The weeds have grown taller than a person? I remember that this place used to be a small road."

"There is a small road." An auxiliary policeman turned around and said after searching in the weeds:

"There is a path made of gravels that leads all the way into the weeds."

"Has anyone passed here?" Gu Chen asked.

The auxiliary policeman lowered his body, checked it, and said: "It can be passed. It looks like there are traces of someone walking through it, and the weeds around it look like they have been broken."

While the auxiliary police officer was talking, Gu Chen, Officer Wang, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha, together with Hu Ming, arrived at the scene.

Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong also came over.

A group of people stood in front of the weeds and couldn't help but check the path in front of them.

Hu Ming also took a step forward and said: "Yes, this used to be a weed field, but when it rains, the ground will get wet."

"If we want to pass through this area and visit the villages outside on weekends, we have to walk on this dirt road, but our shoes will get dirty every time."
