Chapter 19: Haji's Tracking Skills

If this mysterious person really has a weapon, it will be dangerous to search for this person, which is what the search team must pay attention to. Of course, this is also the reason why Captain Liu and the officers of the Zhouqiao unit brought the police. It's just that the police officers who are currently at the scene only have one pistol, and the bullets are only three pitifully three, which is really far from what they expected.

Now the search team has two choices, one is to report the specific situation to the higher authorities, and then wait for the higher authorities to send more reinforcements, but depending on the distance between the incident and the nearest police station, and the time to mobilize the armed police, I am afraid that by the time the reinforcements arrive, it will already be in the second half of the night. The second is that they will first search for the traces left by the mysterious person, and then make plans after discovering that person.

As for how to deal with that person, whether to arrest or shoot him, that's another matter entirely. The most critical issue here is not in the mystery man himself, but in the current weather.

It was raining at the time of the incident, and it didn't stop until daytime today. But in such air conditions, the smell left behind by the mysterious man could easily be diluted by the rain. If you wait any longer, whether it is a search and rescue dog like Haji and Panther, or a tracking dog that the police may transfer, it is possible to lose the ability to track this mysterious person. When Captain Liu told the gun-wielding superintendent about the situation, everyone knew they had to choose the latter option.

Now they had sixteen people, three boats, two search and rescue dogs, and a hand-gun with only five rounds. Although there are many people, the force value is really low and pitiful.

However, this also couldn't help everyone, and the three stinkers were Zhuge Liang, and the superintendent discussed with Captain Liu and the officers of the Zhouqiao Force, and soon came up with a somewhat risky, but very tempting solution.

In the final analysis, whether it is Captain Liu, the superintendent, or the officer of the Zhouqiao Unit, the three of them are not too old, they are self-motivated, experienced and capable. All three of them have a heart to make meritorious contributions, and no one is willing to let go of the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in front of them. Besides, although their force value is a bit low now, at least they have a lot of them! Since there are many people, it is easy to deal with them, but there are too many ways to think of them.

Therefore, a few people quickly worked out a quick split into two groups to track, and then divided their troops after approaching the mysterious person, one virtual and one real to deal with each other, with the help of search and rescue dogs to attract and distract the other party's attention, and then find an opportunity to solve the other party's idea. Among them, the numerical superiority of search and rescue dogs and search teams are the two key points, and the only hand-gun has become the final ultimate force.

In addition, there is actually a key question, which everyone has vaguely guessed. It is likely that the mysterious man was the victim of the car accident, otherwise he would not have spent a whole day in the mountains and forests after the rain. Maybe this guy was injured, so he had to hide in the mountains and forests to recover slowly. As for the reason why he refused to show up in front of the search and rescue personnel, it is likely that this guy has something forbidden on him, and it is not a drug-product!

With these things in mind, the superintendent quickly reported their initial course of action to their superiors. When the superiors heard that the search and rescue dogs were likely to lose their traces if they dragged it any longer, they had to agree to this bold and somewhat risky plan. Of course, the superiors also gave thousands of instructions, emphasizing that everyone must be careful and not cause any unnecessary danger.

After receiving authorization from their superiors, the sixteen people quickly divided the labor. Except for the three assault boats that were left with two men to guard the river, the other fourteen men were divided into two teams. The superintendent and Captain Liu took two policemen and two soldiers of the Zhouqiao Force along the way, and the rest of the people were formed by the officer of the Zhouqiao Force and the instructor of the Black Panther.

In this way, both passers-by have a search and rescue dog, and the mission of the passer-by who is mainly the boat bridge force is to attract the attention of the mysterious man. Once they spot the mystery man, they can distract the other person, and then the three police officers arrest the mystery man with the assistance of two search and rescue dogs.

After the personnel and tasks were assigned, the two groups of people set off one after the other. The panther followed the scent left by the mysterious man, and Haji and the others followed behind the group in front of them. There are actually two reasons why the panther rushed ahead, one is that the panther is a sturdy wolfdog that seems to be able to bluff people at once, and the other reason is that this can better cover the movements of Haji and his group, making the action more sudden.

In the beginning, the tracking went smoothly. With those two cigarette butts as a source of smell, the panther easily found the trace of the mysterious man. But after an hour of tracking, the effect of the rained mountains and forests on the smell gradually became apparent. The mountains and forests were full of water, and from time to time people had to cross puddles of water that were knee-deep. The mysterious man's scent gradually became less clear, and the panther had to stop frequently to check the source and traces of the smell. As a result, the pace of tracking of the search team has slowed down.

As a last resort, the officer of the Zhouqiao unit in front returned to inquire, wanting Haji to come to the front for an interview. Otherwise, if it continues, won't the smell be lighter?

In fact, Captain Liu was reluctant to let Haji go to the front from the bottom of his heart. Haji is only 10 months old now, and he is still a minor search and rescue dog. What's more, Haji has only been training for a little more than a month, and even if he is smart, he is deficient in many aspects.

In addition, Haji has been busy for a day today, even if he has taken a few breaks in between, but the physical and energetic efforts are still very great. Captain Liu didn't want to pull out the seedlings to help him, he didn't want Haji to have any bad psychological feelings in this abnormal search operation, which would destroy a potential search and rescue dog.

But the current situation is something that Captain Liu can't refuse, he can only bring Haji to the front and let Haji try it.

As soon as Haji got to the front, he immediately showed his different side. Compared with the Panther, there is no difference in the sense of smell between the two, the difference is that Haji has the ability to think and judge like a human being, which the Black Panther does not possess at all.

The panther only knows how to search the ground according to the smell of the source, but how can there be enough smell on the ground that has been flooded after the rain for it to search? And the rain had already fallen, and the residual smell was much less damaged, and Haji's chances of finding the traces of the smell were much greater.

In addition, Haji also knew that it would be a waste of time to search for places that seemed to be where people would go, places that humans couldn't climb at all. In this way, Haji's search efficiency was greatly improved, and the speed of the search team's actions was suddenly increased.

For Haji's performance, Captain Liu was pleasantly surprised in addition to his surprise. Who would have thought that a search and rescue dog could develop so many skills on its own, which is simply incredible. If you can't train search and rescue dogs in the place you go, Captain Liu really wants to take Haji away!

With Haji leading the way, the speed of the search party was immediately increased. But correspondingly, new troubles have arisen.

It was nearly dark when they started their search, and they started by the light of the misty sky through the leaves. At this moment, the sky was completely dark, and it was almost pitch black in front of everyone, and they couldn't adapt to the dark environment in the mountains and forests.

As a last resort, Captain Liu, who was at the beginning, grabbed Haji's leash, and several people in the back pulled the hem of the clothes of the person in front of him in turn, and then followed the footsteps of the person in front of him, walking forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The same was true of the group behind Haji, who was led by the panther to grope in the mountains and forests. In fact, most of the members of the search team had lighting equipment in their hands, but for the sake of safety, everyone endured not taking it out, and only used the two search and rescue dogs, Haji and Black Panther, as everyone's eyes.

Fortunately, both Haji and the panther have good night vision skills, even in the mountains and forests where it is so dark that it can even reach the level of not being able to reach out to the five fingers, Haji can still walk like walking in the mountains and forests in the state of the full moon. In Haji's eyes, the mountains and forests seem to be covered with a faint layer of silver, misty like fog and smoke, the scenery more than ten meters away is clearly visible, and the scenery of dozens of meters can also be roughly seen clearly. Tracking a target in this state is really not too difficult for Haji.

No one expected that this chase would take two hours, but even so, they still didn't find the figure of the mysterious person. But for Haji, he felt that they were getting closer and closer to the mysterious man, because the smell of the mysterious man was getting stronger and stronger. And he had just confirmed his suspicion from the policeman's mouth, that the kind of thing that could give off the sour smell of acetate was a poison, so now, that strong sour taste of acetate is getting stronger and stronger. Haji has reason to believe that this guy in front of him is definitely a big fish - a big fish with drugs - in it!

Judging from the direction of the road they walked, Captain Liu and the police were indeed the one who obviously wanted to leave the mountain forest and then walk onto the avenue. It's just that this guy seems to be a little worried about being bumped into by the people at the accident site, so he made a big circle, preparing to go around to the front of the accident site, and seemed to be ready to escape. Through this kind of behavior, everyone believes in everyone's judgment just now, the guy in front of him is a thief, and it is definitely not a good thing!
