567, note murderer(1/2)
The stretched Mercedes-Benz continued to gallop, and after passing through several small roads, it came to the vicinity of an abandoned chemical plant.
But the environment here is far better than Gu Chen imagined.
Although the surrounding residential buildings for family members are old, there are still a few lights in them.
It can be seen that even though the chemical plant has lost its former glory, there are still several local residents living here.
Lao Zhou parked his car firmly on the outside of a fence, then turned around and said, "Mr. Xu, we are here."
"Are we here?" Xu Zhenggang lowered the window and looked around. Except for a few street lights on one side of the road, there were almost no traces of other vehicles.
Xu Zhenggang looked at Gu Chen next to him and said, "Gu Chen, this is the address 24 gave me. Isn't it weird?"
"It's really interesting that a person who ranks first in the international racing circuit lives in a place like this." Gu Chen couldn't say what was wrong.
However, the surrounding environment gave Gu Chen a sense of familiarity with outdoor CS.
Moreover, except for a forest park at the back, this area is almost overgrown with weeds.
The remains of several abandoned buses with a sense of age were parked outside the fence. Gu Chen could basically tell from the faded exterior paint of the abandoned buses that they were former factory vehicles.
After scrapping, all parts are dismantled, leaving only the frame as a factory promotional display.
After getting off the bus, everyone took out their mobile phones and took pictures of the quiet environment around them.
Lu Weiwei retreated to Gu Chen and asked him: "Speaking of Junior Brother Gu, do you think this 24 is a bad old man?"
"No way?" Gu Chen also smiled and said: "I don't think this 24 family will live here."
"You don't want to live here?" Upon hearing Gu Chen's words, everyone immediately turned their attention to Gu Chen.
Ding Liang was very curious and said: "Gu Chen, what is your reason for not living here on the 24th?"
"There's no reason." After Gu Chen looked around for a week, he said calmly: "I just made a random guess. Maybe this 24 is a withdrawn person who only wants to live here for peace and quiet."
"After all, think about it, aren't all masters like this? What's more, 24 is a racing master, but his style of doing things seems to be withdrawn."
"So, this 24 is really hard to figure out." Officer Wang held his chin thoughtfully, looking at the old family buildings around him, he couldn't help but sigh:
"Look at these houses. They must be at least several decades old. The walls are covered with ivy. Maybe this 24 is really a strange character."
Gu Chen also nodded and said with a smile: "So, Gangzi, where is the specific address he gave you?"
"Wait a minute." Xu Zhenggang reached into his pocket and took a crumpled piece of paper into his hand.
Gu Chen leaned next to him and looked up the text on the note together. It turned out to be written in block letters.
"No. 202, Unit 1, Building 4?" Gu Chen looked around and found the gate not far away, and said, "The gate is there, let's go and take a look."
The group walked along the wall for more than ten meters before arriving at the gate of the family area.
The iron door is now stained with rust, and the big lock in the middle has not been opened for a long time, so the rust on it is particularly obvious.
Access is through a small door in the middle of the iron gate.
When Gu Chen walked into the family area, he found a few old people sitting in a small square not far away, seemingly chatting about homely matters.
Originally, there was a circular protruding cement mark on the side of each family building to mark the number of floors.
However, due to the age, the numbers originally painted with red paint are now in dilapidated condition, making it impossible to identify the number of floors.
"Old man." Gu Chen walked up to the playground with a smile and asked one of the men: "Do you know where Building 4 is?"
"Building 4?" The old man seemed a little deaf, but he could still hear what Gu Chen was saying, so he pointed to a building behind him and said, "Behind this building is Building 4."
"Are there still people living in those 4 buildings now?" Xu Zhenggang also came over.
The old man nodded and said calmly: "Yes, there are two households."
Gu Chen and Xu Zhenggang looked at each other and felt that they had found the right place, so they thanked each other and returned to the team.
"How is it?" Lu Weiwei quickly asked Gu Chen.
"We've already heard that there are indeed people living in Building 4. Let's go over and have a look now." Gu Chen was already impatient.
Lu Weiwei nodded immediately and followed Gu Chen and Xu Zhenggang. The three of them took the lead and ran quickly towards Building 4.
Others, with a travel mentality, take photos of their surroundings.
Yuan Shasha, Ding Liang, Huang Zunlong and others, with the help of police officer Wang, took some photography materials with the old building as the background.
After all, this kind of environment with a sense of era is rare in the entire Jiangnan City. If you don't know better, you might think it is a filming base for period TV dramas.
"This should be it." Arriving at Unit 1 of Building 4, Gu Chen looked at the residents on the second floor, but there was no light on anywhere, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
Xu Zhenggang also took out the note. After confirming it, he pointed to the residence on the right side of the second floor of Unit 1 and said: "It should be here, but why is there no light?"
"Didn't 24 leave you a phone number or something?" Gu Chen turned to ask Xu Zhenggang.
Xu Zhenggang smiled: "This guy is so mysterious. It's good enough that he can tell me his address. Do you still expect him to leave you his phone number?"
"But didn't you say that Jiangnan International Circuit will retain members' mobile phone numbers? You can use the database to check it." Lu Weiwei also heard clearly.
Although various memberships are applied for at the Gangnam International Circuit, the phone numbers of many drivers are retained.
Logically speaking, as a shareholder of Xu Zhenggang, it is not difficult to retrieve the phone number of 24.
Xu Zhenggang seemed to have noticed everyone's thoughts, and then he said with a smile: "To be honest, I have actually called the number 24 through my own ability."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "And I not only called him, I also called him frequently and sent him text messages, hoping to get 24 to join our T Team."
"But it's strange, this 24 almost never replies."
"No reply?" Gu Chen frowned and couldn't help but said: "Then is this number empty?"
"No." Xu Zhenggang shook his head and said with certainty: "Every time I call the 24 phone number, I can get through, but no one answers. Maybe this guy never answers calls from strangers?"
"But I also sent him a text message, and I also revealed my identity to him. I told him that I was W who ranked third on the Jiangnan International Circuit's rankings. But even so, there was still no reply from 24."
"So I feel that this 24 should be a particularly aloof person, as if he is alone and seeking defeat."
"If it hadn't been for you, Gu Chen, to raise the ranking to the same level as 24 this time, 24 might not have appeared at all."
Looking at Gu Chen, Xu Zhenggang also said with a proud face: "So Gu Chen, it's you who has stimulated you to 24. He showed up this time just to find you."
"I hope you're not talking nonsense." Gu Chen was hesitant about Xu Zhenggang's words.
After all, these are just Xu Zhenggang’s words.
Gu Chen originally didn't want to participate in this kind of excitement, but Xu Zhenggang was his good brother, so he couldn't justify not helping.
Moreover, my colleague Yuan Shasha is also a member of Team T of Jiangnan International Circuit, so she needs to be given some face.
Looking to the left and right, Yuan Shasha, Officer Wang, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong were also coming from behind.
Gu Chen didn't think much and walked directly towards Room 202, Unit 1.
Everyone came to the second floor together. Gu Chen was about to knock on the door, but found that the door seemed to be ajar.
Gu Chen immediately retracted his right hand and looked at Lu Weiwei beside him.
Lu Weiwei also seemed to feel something strange, and said weakly: "This house is dark and dim, why is the door open? Does 24 know that we are coming to visit tonight?"
Gu Chen did not speak, but turned his gaze to Xu Zhenggang again.
Xu Zhenggang smiled: "I sent a text message to the mobile phone number registered by 24 before, informing him that we will be visiting tonight. I think he should know."
"Then why don't you turn on the light?" Gu Chen was also confused.
Xu Zhenggang was stunned and couldn't explain clearly for a while. He could only say with a faint smile: "Let's ignore this for now and go in and take a look before talking."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhenggang was the first to open the door, used the flashlight that came with his mobile phone to find the switch next to the door, and then turned on all the indoor lights.
At this moment, the family room with two bedrooms and one living room was brightly lit, but there was no one in the living room, giving people the feeling that it had not been inhabited for a long time.
"Is anyone there?" Gu Chen couldn't help but call out, but the living room was empty and no one responded.
Lu Weiwei couldn't help but asked curiously: "Junior Brother Gu, could it be that this 24 just went out, so the door is left ajar like this?"
"It's possible." Gu Chen did not rule out this possibility.
So Lu Weiwei said again: "Then do you think there will be 24 among the people chatting on the playground just now?"
Xu Zhenggang was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head: "I don't think so. If 24 exists, then when we mentioned Building 4 just now, 24 should have reacted, but it didn't."
"And you think, I have already sent a message to 24, telling 24 that we are coming to visit tonight, there is no reason for him not to know, right? Besides, knowing that so many strangers came to Building 4, even on the playground just now
There are 24, won’t he come with you?”
"This is the same." Lu Weiwei nodded thoughtfully, and then walked towards the door of the room.
But just when Lu Weiwei walked to the door, she suddenly screamed and shrank back in fear.
"What's going on?" Gu Chen suddenly realized something was wrong and hurriedly ran to Lu Weiwei's side.
"Corpse...corpse?" Lu Weiwei frowned slightly, and couldn't help but move closer.
Gu Chen, on the other hand, followed Lu Weiwei's gaze prompts and turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and shined it into the room.
Only then did Gu Chen realize that there was a figure lying on the floor in the room, and there seemed to be some blood around him.
"It's... it's 24?" Gu Chen couldn't help but suddenly remembered this person's code name.
Xu Zhenggang was also stunned, and quickly turned on the room lights again.
