After leaving the gate of the new barracks, everyone began to search again. Chen Lu was still with Tieniu, and their target was the village in front.
Entering the village, Chen Lu slowed down.
He looked around the surroundings. There was a bright moon in the sky, and the whole village was bathed in moonlight. The breeze was blowing, and it was indescribably cool and comfortable. The occasional chirping of insects made the village seem even quieter.
If it weren't for arresting Huang Tao this time, Chen Lu would never have imagined that there would be a quiet village next door to the recruit company.
Chen Lu walked in front, carefully identified the direction, and walked deeper into the village.
The air is flowing here, and if there is any smell left by Huang Tao along the way, he has to carefully sense it before he can move forward.
At this moment, Chen Lu stopped at the door of a two-and-a-half-story red brick flat-roofed house.
Looking from the door, there is a small garden of 70 to 80 square meters inside the house, with neatly trimmed flowers and plants, and a small hammock swaying in the breeze, which looks very bourgeois.
This family is not simple... Chen Lu concentrated, moved his nose slightly, and carefully sensed the smell in the air.
"Strange!"
Chen Lu frowned.
Tieniu immediately asked: "Brother Lu, have you discovered anything?"
Chen Lu looked at the house in front of him and nodded: "Huang Tao has been here."
Tieniu's eyes lit up: "Then go in and catch him. What are you waiting for?"
"Wait a minute, he didn't enter through the door. Just wait here and I'll make sure again."
After saying that, Chen Lu circled around the house and then stopped at the wall on the side of the garden.
Upon seeing this, Tieniu immediately ran over and said anxiously: "Brother Lu, how are you? Are you sure?"
Chen Lu nodded: "He should have climbed in from here."
"Does this guy want to be a thief? I know him, I'll go in and catch him."
After saying that, Tieniu took two steps back and made a running motion.
Chen Lu looked at him in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Go in, Huang Tao can climb in, and so can I."
While talking, Tieniu rolled up his sleeves.
Chen Lu stretched out his hand and gave Tieniu a slap on the head, scolding: "You are breaking into a private house. The company commander said, be polite to the villagers, and there may be family members of the soldiers."
"If the chief kills you as a thief inside, you won't even be considered a martyr."
Tieniu touched his head, shrank his neck, and said hehe: "Brother Lu, what do you mean?"
"Knock on the door, didn't the company commander say that?"
Chen Lu didn't want to pay attention to this bastard, so he returned to the door of the house, thought for a while, and then gently knocked on the stainless steel door.
In the quiet night, the knock on the door sounds very clear.
"Who is it? Here we come."
Not long after, a woman's voice came from the house, followed by footsteps.
After a moment, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing a simple ponytail and simple home clothes appeared at the door, looking at Chen Lu and the others curiously.
Chen Lu stood at attention and saluted: "Hello! We are from Recruit Class 3. A recruit ran out. Let's come over and ask if he has passed by you?"
At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly came from inside the house: "What happened to this guy Yang Song? Someone else escaped."
It's not like an officer lives here... Chen Lu paused and found that the tone of the other person's words was very similar to his serious grandfather, with a sense of majesty.
Soon, a tall, dignified middle-aged man strode out of the house.
Chen Lu immediately saluted: "Hello, Chief!"
Looking at the middle-aged man with a tall posture and a graceful walk, Chen Lu immediately confirmed his idea, but the man was not wearing a military uniform and could not see any military rank.
However, Chen Lu's intuition told him that the other party's position must be higher than that of Yang Song.
Tieniu looked at Chen Lu who became serious and immediately followed suit.
The middle-aged man stood at attention, returned the greeting, and said calmly: "If you think it is necessary, come in and look for me. However, I shouldn't be here..."
As a result, he couldn't continue in the middle of his sentence because the two recruits had already entered his garden.
"We really got in!"
The majestic man said to himself, "It's interesting."
He had forgotten how many years had passed and no recruit dared to be so bold in front of him.
The middle-aged people don't know that Chen Lu has lived with a chief's grandfather since he was a child. Although he has always been in awe of the military chief, he does not panic.
As for Tieniu, he didn't think too much and followed Chen Lu in. He just wanted to find Huang Tao now.
At this time, Chen Lu walked around the yard, then sniffed at the door of the house. After a slight start, he immediately turned around and came out.
There was no smell of Huang Tao in the house, but out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the military uniform hanging on the wall had two stripes and three stars.
Good guy, he is really a boss!
Wait, it’s not the brigade commander!
The first house they knocked on was the brigade commander's house. If the company commander knew about it, he might have high blood pressure... Chen Lu took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, walked up to the middle-aged man, and said calmly: "That
The recruits passed by here but left."
"Huh?"
The middle-aged man looked at Chen Lu with interest, "What should I say?"
Chen Lu explained: "I can smell his scent. His scent is here, but it has dissipated. He must have just passed by."
The middle-aged man said in surprise: "Your military dog can still smell it?"
Chen Lu smiled: "My nose is sensitive after all."
The middle-aged man nodded.
In the army, he had met many talented people. Just like what people call clairvoyance and ears, some people are born with stronger abilities in certain aspects.
But he didn't expect that this recruit was actually born with a dog's nose, which can sometimes be a surprise on the battlefield. Suddenly, he became interested in Chen Lu.
At this time, Chen Lu stood at attention and saluted: "Chief, we have to continue to look for people. Let's go first. Sorry for disturbing you."
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "You little guy, what's your name? You can smell it, it's good."
"I am Chen Lu from Recruit Class 3, and this is my comrade Tieniu."
After saying that, Chen Lu turned and left.
Facing a brigade commander, it would be a lie to say there is no pressure.
Tieniu saluted the middle-aged man and then quickly chased him out.
After leaving the house, Tieniu quickly caught up with Chen Lu and asked in surprise: "Brother Lu, why are you running so fast?"
"Also, the uncle just now is an ordinary person. Why do you keep calling him chief?"
Chen Lu was silent for a moment and then said: "The other party may be the brigade commander."
"Brigadier? Wait, you mean that middle-aged uncle just now is the brigade commander."
Tieniu was so frightened that he almost jumped up, "Fuck, shit, really?"
He quickly recalled the scene at the residence just now, wondering if he had done anything excessive. "By the way, how did you find out that he was the brigade commander?"
Tieniu couldn't help but ask again.
Chen Lu, who was walking in front, said calmly: "The military uniform hanging inside the house shows the military rank."
"This... we just went to search a brigade commander's home!"
Tieniu's scalp felt numb and his heart felt cold just thinking about it.
Just when he wanted to catch Chen Lu and ask what to do, Chen Lu had already walked away.
Chen Lu didn't walk very fast, sometimes turning left and sometimes right, sniffing all the way and knocking on the door if he smelled something.
Thinking that it might be the place where the chief lives, every time he knocked on the door, Tieniu's heart beat faster and his nerves became tense, worried that the person who opened the door would be another big boss.
Next, what Tieniu said the most was: "Brother Lu, isn't this also the chief's home?"
Gradually, the lights in the living area kept lighting up, and some officers were also alarmed.
At this time, Chen Lu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, sniffed the air carefully a few times, frowned and said: "The smell here is very strong, and there is also the smell of pepper. This Huang Tao is not simple."
Tieniu looked at Chen Lu in surprise: "No, Brother Lu, how do you know the chili pepper smell comes from Huang Tao? Even a military dog can't tell the difference."
Chen Lu said calmly: "Everyone has a different smell, even if it is masked by the smell of chili pepper."
"No wonder, he wanted to run away a long time ago. He also knew how to hide his scent and wandered around. I was deceived. I don't think this kid would become a thief in the past."
Finally, Chen Lu said thoughtfully.
Tieniu's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Really, do you know where he is? Let's go catch him."
Chen Lu looked at the time and said, "It's too late. The squad leader told us to go back to the dormitory to assemble in 30 minutes anyway. So, you go back and tell the squad leader first, and I will arrest the person."
