Gu Chen stopped and began to listen quietly. Seeing this, everyone around him began to be alert.

However, a few seconds later, the movement stopped again, and a white stray cat was seen carefully poking its head out from the weeds.

When he saw all the humans looking at him, the stray cat immediately swooped and hid in the weeds again.

"Is it a cat?" Lu Weiwei took a deep breath and patted her tall chest: "I thought it was a human."

"This place may be the home of these stray cats." Yuan Shasha said.

Officer Wang also nodded in agreement: "Yes, humans rarely come to this kind of place, and it is very secretive. Stray cats like to make their nests here, and they are not afraid of being disturbed by humans."

After thinking for a while, Officer Wang added: "But it seems that no one has passed by here for a long time. If there were people passing by here before, it was for the nearby vegetable garden."

"But now the entire area here is within the scope of demolition, and the vegetable fields have long been bulldozed, so there is no way to pass here."

"But I just can't figure it out. Since there are no humans passing by here, what about these newly broken plants? Or has Wan Xiaomin really been here?"

"Senior Brother Wang." Seeing that Officer Wang was still hesitating about the matter slowly, Gu Chen also said decisively: "Did Wan Xiaomin really pass by here? We will wait until we find her. I will explore the way first, and you guys will follow.

"

After the words fell, Gu Chen walked forward again.

The stray cat that had been hiding in the weeds seemed to have heard the noise, and suddenly jumped out of the weeds with a "swish", and then quickly ran away forward.

However, what Gu Chen didn't expect was that cats were meowing all around him, and in the blink of an eye, seven or eight kittens jumped out of the weeds.

These small animals first glanced at Gu Chen and the others alertly, and then followed the big cat just now and ran quickly forward.

After a while, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

Lu Weiwei, who was standing there, was also dumbfounded and said: "Why are there so many kittens in this place? Have we hit the cat nest?"

"If someone discovers this, and then captures them together and gives them to Wan Xiaomin, I guess her 'hamster house' will really have to be renamed 'Tom and Jerry'."

Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Gu Chen couldn't help but smile, and then continued walking forward.

Not long after, as Hu Ming said, he left the weeds and came to the ruins of a damaged wall.

Although the surrounding area is also covered with weeds, it is covered up by the ruins of the wall.

Outside the ruins is a wasteland outside the factory area, an abandoned vegetable garden.

It can be seen from the shape of the soil that it was once a vegetable field. Various long strips still exist, but they are now covered by weeds.

Walking among these wastelands, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that there were two parallel railways not far away.

Looking around again, it seems that we have left the chemical plant area.

The warehouse buildings that originally existed on both sides of the railway were now in ruins and seemed to have been demolished for a long time.

Gu Chen and others carefully passed through the ruins one by one and arrived at the railway track.

At this moment, Gu Chen discovered that one of the rails was already covered in rust, while the other rail seemed to be similar, but had signs of wear and tear.

Apparently, trains still pass through here.

"Hu Ming." Gu Chen looked at the railroad tracks in front of him and couldn't help but call out "Hu Ming".

Hu Ming immediately walked to Gu Chen and asked, "Officer Gu, what's the matter?"

"What's going on with this railway?" Gu Chen didn't know much about this area, so he quickly asked Hu Ming.

Hu Ming looked around and then explained: "Oh, this railway is relatively old and belongs to the freight railway. I only remember that to the right, the railway can lead to a small county town in the sister city."

"And to the left, you can go all the way to Jiangnan City Railway Station."

"Is this railway usually very busy?" Lu Weiwei asked.

Hu Ming hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "In my impression, it's not too busy, right? Because it's a branch line freight railway, and there's only one trip a day."

"That means that Wan Xiaomin most likely left via the railway?" Gu Chen knew that this was a blind spot for surveillance, and that the railway was a cargo transport area, and the equipment around the tracks was also extremely poorly maintained.

Hu Ming looked around, then walked to Gu Chen and confirmed, "It's very possible, because in the past, children like us from the family area often came to the railway to play."

"It's like climbing on a train car and running around on the top of the train car. I used to remember that if you go to the left, there is a small freight station, and there are many freight trains over there."

"It's nerve-wracking." Lu Weiwei looked around and suddenly became confused:

"If Wan Xiaomin leaves from here, where will she go? It's really a mystery."

"Because the mysterious man can take her to any place via freight railway."

"And there is no surveillance in this area, so how can we find it?"

"Don't worry yet." Lu Weiwei felt a little disappointed, but Gu Chen knew very well that since the mysterious man knew this area very well, he must be inextricably linked to the family area of ​​the Chengxi Chemical Plant.

The first person who can know about this secret passage, obviously, the people in the family area should be given priority.

Secondly, if Wan Xiaomin is in danger, she can use the cover of night and her understanding of the terrain to successfully avoid the mysterious man's pursuit.

Gu Chen guessed that it might be difficult for others to retreat unscathed on the territory he was familiar with, but it was not difficult for Wan Xiaomin.

But now that Wan Xiaomin is missing, it is obvious that there is a high probability that she will be kidnapped.

But Wan Xiaomin clearly knew that it would be dangerous for her to come to the family area late at night and meet the mysterious person, so why did she do it?

Thinking of this, Gu Chen's expression suddenly froze: "That's not right."

"Junior Brother Gu, what's wrong?" Seeing Gu Chen standing there in shock, Lu Weiwei also hurriedly came over and asked.

At this moment, everyone was already searching separately. Gu Chen called Lu Weiwei to one side and whispered:

"Senior Sister Lu, is this the case? Was it Wan Xiaomin's own idea to make an appointment with the mysterious person to come to the family area of ​​the Chengxi Chemical Plant?"

"Wan Xiaomin's own idea?" Lu Weiwei was a little confused and questioned: "But Junior Brother Gu, why would she, Wan Xiaomin, arrange the meeting place in such a ruins? And it's late at night, so she's not afraid

Is it dangerous?"

"This is exactly what she wants." Gu Chen said.

Lu Weiwei was confused again: "She... what she wants? What does she want?"

"Let me put it this way." Seeing that Lu Weiwei still didn't understand what she meant, Gu Chen simply explained:

"Can I understand it this way? First of all, Wan Xiaomin arranged the meeting place between herself and the mysterious person in this kind of ruins, and it was still in the middle of the night."

"This environment seems to be very unfavorable for both parties. First of all, it is the light. It is not difficult for us to find out by searching the nearby family area."

"In fact, there are very few usable street lights on the roads in the whole family area, so the light will definitely be very poor."

"The lighting is poor, and we are still in these ruins, so who is most beneficial?"

Seeing that Gu Chen had already reminded her of this, Lu Weiwei suddenly realized and said hurriedly: "It is best for Wan Xiaomin, because Wan Xiaomin is too familiar with everything here."

"If an accident occurs and Wan Xiaomin wants to escape, then all the terrain here will definitely be an advantage for Wan Xiaomin."

"That's right." Gu Chen snapped his fingers and then said:

"If this possibility exists, then the mysterious man Wan Xiaomin met might not be from the family area of ​​the Chengxi Chemical Plant at all."

"In this way, even if there is danger, Wan Xiaomin can use the terrain to escape. But now Wan Xiaomin has disappeared. Maybe there was an accident during the escape and he was caught by the other party."

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei's nervousness suddenly rose to her throat, and she said weakly:

"Then...then Wan Xiaomin may have been kidnapped now? Maybe she has been killed? But she still came here despite the risk. Maybe Wan Xiaomin had difficulties, but she had thought of a way out, but in the implementation process

Something unexpected happened?"

"Maybe."

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

When he saw that the call was from He Junchao, Gu Chen quickly opened the answer button and asked, "Brother He, how is your investigation going?"

"Gu Chen, the mysterious man you asked me to investigate, based on previous surveillance captures, I found that he once appeared in a tool store."

"Moreover, after he left the tool store, he seemed to have taken away a bag of things. You can go to the tool store to ask about the situation, and you may be able to find some clues."

"Really?" Hearing what He Junchao said, Gu Chen was overjoyed and quickly urged:

"Then now, please send me the location of that store."

"No problem, I'll send it to you right away."

The two exchanged words for a while, then both hung up the phone.

Later, Gu Chen received the store location from He Junchao.

With this, Gu Chen quickly reminded everyone: "Continue to search the area, especially the small station nearby. Ask the staff if there were any suspicious people nearby last night?"

"Gu Chen, what about you and Lu Weiwei?" Officer Wang asked.

"Senior Sister Lu and I will look for some clues." As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen leaned into Officer Wang's ear and whispered a reminder: "Senior Brother He found a tool store where the mysterious man had been before and bought a bag of

Something, I want to investigate."

"Okay, you and Lu Weiwei go over there quickly, and I'll take someone with me to look around," Officer Wang said.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei back the same way and headed towards the weeds where they were.

However, what makes people feel weird is that the stray cat that ran away before appears again in the weeds at this moment.

When they saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei passing by, these little stray cats immediately "swooshed" and got into the weeds on both sides to hide.
