Chapter Twenty-Four: Haji's Pursuit of the Mountains

Haji is most familiar with the smell of the little sister, so he doesn't even need to smell the source of the smell brought by the police, he just needs to find the familiar smell and go on. However, Haji found that with the blowing of the mountain wind, the smell left on the mountain road by Xiao Taimei and others was getting weaker and weaker. Actually, it's true, it's five hours after the incident, and in a few hours it will be dark.

"Wang!" Haji called out to the policeman holding the leash, then turned to look in the direction where the little girl's smell had disappeared. Seeing this, the policeman also roughly understood what Haji meant, and he looked at the police's on-site commander for instructions, and saw that the other party nodded at him, and then set off with Haji's forward strength.

As soon as he set off, Haji rushed to the front. The two dogs couldn't keep up with Haji's speed at all, and with their familiarity with the smell of the little sister, Haji didn't have to look down to smell the smell on the ground, he only needed to look up and identify the direction of the smell in the wind to know which way to go next.

The guides of the two dogs in the back were a little hesitant, and they were not sure whether to follow Haji all the way forward, or to re-determine the correctness of the route according to the source of the smell. However, after slowing down and allowing the two dogs to reorient themselves according to the source of the smell, they quickly judged that the direction Haji was walking was not wrong at all, so the team followed Haji's footsteps.

The group walked a short distance and soon came to a wide stream. The local guide told the police officer that the creek was not deep, so he could go straight to it. It's just that after the robbers waded through the creek with a few people, the smell they left behind would become much lighter, and it would not be very beneficial for the dogs to track and search for a long time.

But now, everyone has no time to make any other choices. The group took off their shoes and socks and waded across the river, and even a few dogs were carried across the stream by their guides. Of course, this is not simply a pet for dogs, but it is worried that the water on the dog's body will not dry up after wading in the water during this season, which will easily lead to colds. In that case, the mission will be unpredictable, and the rest of the search will be difficult.

After crossing the stream, Haji sniffed left and right a few times before finding the scent of the little sister, and then he quickly followed the scent. He could smell that the smell of the little sister was actually diluted a lot by the stream, which meant that the little sister was actually wading through the water and walking through the stream behind her.

In fact, not only the little sister, but also several other people had diminished a lot after crossing the river, which meant that the robbers forced all the people to do the same thing, and let them all wade through the stream. Although the stream is not deep and the current is not very fast, it is still difficult for a nine-year-old child to wade through the water.

It can also be seen from this that the robbers are not only extremely cunning and frenzied, but also very vicious, and do not let go of these children. It was for this that Haji had to find them more quickly, otherwise anything could have happened.

After wading through the creek, the two dogs showed obvious hesitation in their search, as if they had a less accurate grasp of the source of the smell. It often takes a while to decide which way to go, and the on-site commander saw Haji, who had already walked out of a distance, and shook his head helplessly to let the brigade follow directly. He can only choose to believe Haji now, after all, Haji is also from the working dog base, and at the same time has lived with one of the abducted victims for a long time, so it is a little more credible than those two dogs.

At present, there is news from the command headquarters, and the robbers don't seem to know that Brother Wang has called the police, and they are still bargaining with Brother Wang. This is an opportunity for the task force, and the searchers must try to solve the crisis as much as possible before the robbers can react, otherwise once the lives of four children and one adult are threatened, the life of the police will not be easy.

From 5 p.m. until dark, the search lasted for three hours, but the robbers were still nowhere to be found. Not only that, but due to the long time walking in this mountain forest, coupled with the fact that the search dog's body is getting more and more tired, the search is becoming more and more difficult. After dark, the sight is not good, so many searchers walk in the mountains and forests, in case they are found by robbers, they can't use the lighting, and if they are not careful, someone will be injured in the foot, and in serious cases, they may fall into the ravine, which will not only fail to save the children, but will affect the rescue operation.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, the rescue team had to stop. Both humans and dogs are already exhausted, and it is not enough to rest for a while. Moreover, the commander of the team also has to contact the command to analyze the current situation and study the next step of the work. At the same time, you can take this opportunity to rest and replenish. Wait until your strength has recovered a little, and then determine the next specific action.

Haji was also tired, he was still an underage dog, and although he usually exercised a lot, it was still very hard to search and trek for a long time like this. In addition, it is necessary to smell constantly, even if Haji is more familiar with the smell of the little sister, but it is also very hard to go all the way. However, Haji was able to withstand it, because he felt that the little sister was not too far away from them, and the smell left by the group had become a little fresh.

After resting for more than ten minutes, both people and dogs were replenished with a little water. The command command also came down, and the large force was divided into parts, and capable personnel were dispatched to continue the search. Other personnel were on standby, ready for support.

Soon, a search squad was formed, a squad of seven criminal police SWAT officers and three firefighters. The reason why the three firefighters were left was because they had rescue experience, and their experience in rescue would be useful in case of extreme situations. Otherwise, just the criminal police and special police, the ability to save people is no problem, but once there is a fall and fall injury, it is a big problem to not be able to save people in time.

Since the team operated at night, they still did not dare to turn on the lights, for fear that the kidnappers would find out their whereabouts, so everyone could only follow the three dogs. Among the three dogs, the wolfdog is the police dog of the police force, and the Labrador is a serious search and rescue dog. But the best performance of these three dogs is neither the police dog nor the search and rescue dog, but Haji, who is not yet an adult. This surprised both the police and the fire brigade, and the fire brigade captain, who was looking away at Haji while screening the search and rescue dogs, sighed again and again and looked away.

At this time, Haji didn't care about catching up with him, not to mention that he didn't have the ability to do it!

After chasing the mountain road for about a kilometer, the road suddenly divided into two strands, one went directly down the mountain, and the other went directly through the mountain road. As he walked here, Haji suddenly stopped and stood at the intersection hesitating. For he suddenly found that the group had been divided into two groups, one had gone down the mountain, and the other had gone up the mountain road through the mountain, and the smell of the little sister and the other child was in this group, and this group was the most crowded. As for the one that went down the mountain, it seemed that there were only three people.

What should I do? Which way to go? Do I continue to follow the little sister's group? Or do I try to chase them down the mountain? Or did the robbers find out that Haji and his group are catching up, and deliberately divide their troops into two ways? If so, will the other party set up some ambush?

Thinking about it, Haji thought it was unlikely. The other party is a group of short-sighted gangsters and hooligans, how can they have that kind of consciousness and thinking? It is more likely that these people are carrying these five people, four small and one large, are too difficult to walk, so they are divided into two paths, and it is possible that one of them is a hostage released by them. If that's the case, it's likely that the gang is preparing to get out of here as quickly as possible. Maybe there is one of their accomplices nearby to pick them up, or maybe there is a nearby means of transportation for them to leave.

Thinking of this, Haji stopped, looked back at the people who were following him, and then looked at the two roads ahead. What he meant was: The gang is divided into two ways, what should I do? Will I divide my troops to chase them? Or will I only chase the little sister?

However, Haji's meaning made the people behind him a little confused. They couldn't understand what Haji meant, and thought that Haji wouldn't be able to find any trace of the men. If that was the case, would the other two dogs still be of use? Thinking so, the commander moved the two dogs to the front to let the two of them discern each other.

Seeing this scene, Haji's dog's nose was almost crooked. What's wrong with these two guys? Except that they're taller and stronger than themselves, what else is better than themselves? They have the intelligence and memory that no other canines have. These guys can't understand the situation, so they let these two dogs get on it, and it's clear that they don't trust themselves!

Let them try it out, and I don't believe they can come up with any ideas!

Sure enough, although the two dogs also smelled that the group was divided into two ways, because they were already quite tired and their ability to control their bodies was weakened, so in the face of such a complicated situation, their performance was only hesitation and hesitation. For humans who don't understand canine behavior, their actions and reactions seem to be a sign that they simply can't find useful information. Now the search team is also worried, they are contacting the command side, while you are discussing what to do next?

What should I do? I can't help it, I have to come out and tell you what to do!
