3am.

In a small forest on the outskirts of Guangming Town.

Gao Min led many members of the volunteer association to conduct a search deep in the woods.

Gu Chen brought Zhang Mu in front of him, swept the darkness in front of him with a tactical flashlight, and asked Zhang Mu: "Where is the person?"

"It's in the ravine in front of us." Zhang Mu pointed at the general area.

Gu Chen glanced at Gao Min beside him. Gao Min had a solemn expression and nodded silently. Then he called several villagers with their dogs to check on the situation.

After several Chinese pastoral dogs sniffed the clothes Uncle Qin had worn before, they began to search along the darkness.

The dog searches in front, and the person searches in the back.

For a moment, flashlight lights intertwined in the woods, illuminating the area.

Not long after, a Chinese pastoral dog suddenly started barking at the ravine dog in front of him, and was tightly held by the villagers on the leash.

Gu Chen quickly stepped forward and came to his side.

"Officer Gu, there seems to be something going on ahead," said the villager holding the dog.

"Go take a look." Gu Chen shined his tactical flashlight forward.

Suddenly, a super strong beam of light illuminated the entire area in front of him extremely brightly.

The two of them moved forward slowly...

But at this moment, the Chinese Pastoral Dog barked louder into the ravine.

"It should be here. I'll go take a look." The villager frowned and took the lead to step forward. Under the guidance of Gu Chen's light, he removed the leaves covering the ravine one by one.

But when the fourth branch was removed, the villagers let out a frightened "Ah" and quickly took a few steps back.

"What's going on?" Gu Chen asked him quickly.

"Officer Gu, it's...it's Uncle Qin."

"found it?"

Upon hearing this, Officer Wang quickly ran over from another place, and everyone suddenly gathered lights.

Several people worked together to clear away all the remaining tree branches. Uncle Qin, whose head was covered with blood, was lying in the ravine at this moment.

Officer Wang knelt down to check, then shook his head and said: "The man is dead. He was hit hard on the head."

"Really...is it really Old Qin?" After seeing Uncle Qin's body, Gao Min was so frightened that he took a few steps back and turned to look at Zhang Mu beside him.

"So, the body in the uncle's room is really my brother Gao Ming? And uncle Qin was also killed by you?"

Zhang Mu raised his head and glanced at her, but said nothing.

"You beast." Gao Min could no longer suppress his inner anger and rushed up and slapped Zhang Mu.

Then he searched randomly on the ground, picked up a stone, and was about to throw it at Zhang Mu's head.

"What?"

"Stop."

"Stop her, stop her quickly."

Everyone panicked when they saw it. Everyone rushed forward and quickly controlled Gao Min.

"Let me go. If I don't beat him to death today, I won't be Gao Min."

"Beat me to death? Come on!" Zhang Mu seemed to be angry too. He walked forward angrily, pointed at his head and said: "More than ten years ago, your brother wanted to kill people and silence them. I am still alive today.

That’s because I’m determined and it’s my own ability.”

Gao Min seemed to be frightened by Zhang Mu's momentum. His right hand holding the stone was trembling, but he still dared not make any move.

"That's enough." Gu Chen quickly walked between the two of them, snatched the stone from Gao Min's hand and threw it aside.

"Ms. Gao, this case is handled by our police. Please don't do anything extraordinary."

Looking back at Zhang Mu, Gu Chen said again: "Zhang Mu, you can actually handle this matter through legal channels, but you deliberately killed someone to avenge yourself. Do you know what this means?"

"Of course I know." Zhang Mu snorted twice and couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of his eyes: "I thought that all the arrangements were watertight. I thought that I would break the concept of time and use the identity of an outsider who came to Guangming Town for the first time as a cover.

, you can escape accountability.”

Looking at Gu Chen, Zhang Mu felt a little desperate: "But I didn't expect that the collapse of an old bridge would leave you policemen here."

"What I didn't expect is that you actually live in a bungalow in the suburbs."

"Maybe this is God's will." Lu Weiwei said.

"Haha, you are right too." Zhang Mu smiled bitterly with tears in his eyes and said angrily: "I also thought about it, why don't I forget it? After all, with your police present, there may be flaws in my plan."

"But I still believe in my own experience. I believe that you policemen may not be able to find out it's me, because I feel that I have arranged enough."

"But I never expected that Officer Gu would be so capable. He would have already targeted me within just one hour after the incident."

Zhang Mu was unconvinced and felt that he was unlucky this time for not including a powerful character like Gu Chen.

If he was given another chance, maybe he would choose to stop, but...he had no choice now.

Gu Chen saw Zhang Mu's dissatisfaction and walked up to him and asked him: "If, I mean if, if you were given another chance, would you give up this operation?"

Zhang Mu was stunned and looked at Gu Chen in surprise, as if Gu Chen could see through his thoughts at a glance.

Zhang Mu cried, shook his head, and covered his face with his handcuffed hands: "Give up? I'm not willing to do it."

"It's a pity to give up, but there are some things where persistence is meaningless." Gu Chen said.

Zhang Mu looked up at Gu Chen.

But this time, he was really convinced and nodded silently to express his understanding.

Afterwards, everyone sorted out the bodies of Gao Ming and Uncle Qin overnight and placed them under the eaves of the bungalow.

After daybreak, the temporary steel bridge will be erected and then loaded away by special vehicles.

Zhang Mu was also taken back to the police station by Gu Chen.

However, watching the police car slowly leaving, Zhou Xiaoling stood at the end of the bridge as if she was in a dream.

The man who kept saying he loved him was actually taken away by the police in this way?

Zhou Xiaoling was extremely scared.

Fortunately, Zhang Mu's target was not him. If this was really planned by Zhang Mu, the person lying in the body bag today might be him.

While everyone was still discussing this matter, Zhou Xiaoling squatted alone on the roadside and was so frightened that she burst into tears.

…

…

The weather on Saturday was sunny and sunny.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gu Chen has a short weekend break.

At home, in the bedroom.

Compared with his usually accurate biological clock, Gu Chen deliberately woke up an hour later.

My mother and father at home have already gone to the grocery store.

On the dining table are milk and toast bread prepared by my mother, Xiao Xiaofang.

After Gu Chen washed up, he briefly cleared the breakfast on the table and suddenly felt that being alone at home was boring enough.

Opening the balcony window, you can see the busy traffic on the road, and the fast pace of life seems to have nothing to do with you.

A pair of old men were quarreling downstairs because they were competing for the same old lady as their square dance partner.

On the opposite side of the road, there was a car driver who was changing a spare tire. He seemed to be a novice and his movements were not that smooth.

A fat man passing by holding an ice cream fell down and dropped the ice cream in his hand.

After quickly observing that no one was around, he secretly picked up the ice cream on the ground and left as if nothing had happened.

Several huge magpies flew overhead and came to the big tree in front of the window to chirp non-stop.

"Are there magpies?" Gu Chen was also stunned, feeling that the level of greening in Jiangnan City has been getting higher and higher recently.

Just some time ago, Gu Chen discovered that the number of swallows around him had increased a lot.

It can be seen that Jiangnan City has taken great pains to create a national forest city again in recent years.

Gu Chen remembered that he had not seen swallows for many years. The accelerated industrialization process had led to the continuous deterioration of the environment. The birds that he often saw when he was a child seemed to disappear without saying hello.

But in recent years, after the slogan "We want both gold and silver, and green water and green mountains" was put forward, Gu Chen felt firsthand that the birds that disappeared back then have now returned.

Watching swallows flying around in the strong wind on a rainy day has always been a source of happiness for Gu Chen when he was a child.

Now, happiness is back.

Putting on a casual suit and a pair of white shoes, Gu Chen went downstairs to the grocery store at home.

He walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of Nutrition Express, and Gu Chen took a few sips.
