Chapter 315: Pursuit [3]
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Su Wan heard a dog barking.
Following the sound, Su Wan saw a dog tied to the tree next to the courtyard wall, barking at her and Chu Mohan.
Leading them into the courtyard was the missing girl's father, a middle-aged man under forty.
The middle-aged man glared, and the barking dog glanced at it, and the dog suddenly quieted down and did not bark again.
Entering the room, there was a woman sitting in the room, holding a baby less than a year old in her arms. There were two other children beside him, a girl and a boy.
The boy looks like he's about ten years old, and the girl looks like she's six or seven years old.
As before, the two simply asked about the situation when their daughter disappeared.
It could be seen that the couple was very sad, the middle-aged woman's eyes were red and swollen, and the middle-aged man's eyes were also a little red.
Su Wan Dao; "Can I walk around the yard?"
Middle-aged man said; "Childe, you can watch it casually."
Su Wan walked out of the room and walked directly towards the black wolf dog in the courtyard.
The wolfhound saw her, and it didn't look like it, and when they came in, they barked incessantly.
Instead, he sat by his improvised nest, wagging his tail and looking at her.
Su Wan circled around the courtyard wall, and when he walked to the black wolf dog, Su Wan saw that there seemed to be something at the wolfdog's feet.
Su Wan said to the black wolf dog; "Good dog, don't bark, I'll see what's at your feet."
The black wolf dog seemed to understand Su Wan's words, got up and pushed back, and sat on the ground again.
Su Wan reached out and picked up the black cloth on the ground.
She carefully examined the black cloth in her hand.
shouted at Chu Mohan in the house; "There are discoveries."
Chu Mohan walked out of the room.
Su Wan handed him the black cloth in his hand; "What do you think this is?"
Chu Mohan took the black cloth handed over by Su Wan and carefully looked at it for a long time; "It's like a cloth on your clothes."
"This is what I picked up from the kennel." Su Wan's hand pointed to the place where she had picked up the black cloth just now.
Chu Mo's cold gaze fell on the place where Su Wan was pointing.
Chu Mohan squatted down: "Look, there are footprints." ”
Su Wan lowered her eyes and looked, sure enough, there was a very shallow footprint on the ground, perhaps because it was covered by a black cloth, the footprint was not destroyed, but unfortunately there was only half a footprint.
"Maybe this footprint belongs to the man." Su Wan said.
Chu Mohan shook his head: "This footprint is not the man's own. ”
Chu Mohan pointed to the footprints and said: "This footprint is larger than the footprints of the male owner, and the owner of this footprint is not only a martial artist, but also a master." ”
People who practice martial arts walk in a different posture than ordinary people, and the footprints left are also different from ordinary people, and you can judge whether this person will do martial arts from the footprints.
Su Wan pointed around the footprints: "Look at the things around the footprints, is it the same water and grass that we picked up in front of Bai Ziyue's door in Ningyuan Marquis Mansion today?" ”
Chu Mohan glanced down and reached out to touch the aquatic plants on the ground.
Chu Mohan's eyes rose slightly: "It's indeed a water weed." ”
Now it is more certain that Bai Ziyue and these girls were abducted by the same person, and as for the purpose of this person, they are still unclear.
This trip is a bit rewarding.
When night fell, Su Wan and Chu Mohan entered a restaurant, and the two came to the door of a private room on the second floor, Chu Mohan stretched out his hand to push open the door of the private room, and the two entered the private room.
There was already a man in a black brocade robe sitting in the private room, with a grim face, sitting on a stool and looking out the window.
Su Wan and Chu Mohan entered the private room, and the man turned his head to look at the two.
Su Wan and Chu Mohan sat opposite the man, and Chu Mohan opened the way first; "Fourth brother, did you find anything over there?"
Chu Mojing shook his head; "I didn't find anything here, I went to a few hot springs that few people go to, and I didn't find them anywhere, the algae we found in Ningyuan Hou's Mansion this morning."
Chu Mojing looked at Chu Mohan and Su Wan, and asked lightly; "Where did you find anything?"
Chu Mohan took out a white handkerchief from his arms, and he put the handkerchief on the table.
Chu Mo Handao; "This is what we found in one of the families of the missing girl today."
Chu Mojing's gaze fell on the white handkerchief, on which was a black cloth and a little green algae that had lost its moisture.
Chu Mojing reached out and picked up the black cloth on the handkerchief and observed it carefully.
Su Wan said; "This is what I found next to the kennel, and in addition to the cloth on this piece of clothing, I found one more, only half of the footprints."
Chu Mo Handao; "I can be sure that the footprint was left by the person who kidnapped the girl, and the person who kidnapped the girl was very tall and knew martial arts, and his skills were not low."
There was a moment of silence in the room, and Chu Mohan continued; "These aquatic plants were found next to the footprints, and the algae are the same as the ones we found in front of Bai Ziyue's room."
"Fortunately, the footprints and algae were covered by a small piece of black cloth, so they were not destroyed."
Chu Mojing put the black cloth under his nose and sniffed it.
"It smells of blood."
Chu Mohan took the black cloth and sniffed it; "Well, there is."
"I'm going to smell it too." Su Wan reached out to take the black cloth in Chu Mohan's hand.
She put it under her nose and sniffed it, and there was indeed a faint smell of blood, not strong.
"Could this guy have been bitten by that black wolfdog?" Su Wan guessed.
Chu Mojing looked at Su Wan; "Wolfdog?"
Su Wan nodded; "It's about this tall." Su Wan put his hand on his knee and gestured; "Black, pointy-eared, super-ferocious wolfdog that barks at us as soon as we enter the yard."
"However, the middle-aged man glared at the dog, and the dog stopped barking at us, and the cloth and footprints appeared next to the kennel, if I guessed correctly, before the man entered the farmhouse, he didn't know that there was a dog tied next to the tree, and after climbing over the wall to enter, he found that there was a dog, but he was bitten by the dog, and a piece of clothing was removed from the dog."
Chu Mojing thought for a moment and felt that Su Wan's guess was not impossible; "I'll send someone to the major pharmacies and clinics in the capital to check if anyone has been bitten by a dog and goes to see a doctor."
Chu Mo Handao; "This person will not necessarily go to the pharmacy or the medical center, maybe he will simply order medicine by himself."
Su Wan thought to himself, ancient times are different from modern times.
Modern people, not to mention being bitten by a dog, or being scratched by a dog, will go to the hospital to get a rabies vaccine.
Once the symptoms of rabies appear, the case fatality rate reaches 100%, and after being bitten by a dog, you may get sick immediately, maybe you will not get sick for the rest of your life, maybe a few months, maybe a few years.
