In the mountains, patches of lights dispersed the darkness, and the roar of people and dogs barking could be heard for miles.
Da Zhuang stood on the side of the road full of energy. Even though his hind legs were shaking slightly due to motion sickness, his dog's face was firm.
Looking down from its position, the sound of police dogs can be heard everywhere in the mountain col, at the top of the mountain, and all around.
The police dogs that arrived earlier have already entered into intense work.
Da Zhuang stuck out his tongue in excitement. Since graduating from the police dog school, Da Zhuang has never seen so many police dogs.
At the same time, Li Li was also a little excited and whispered to her colleagues: "I'm so excited. I haven't seen so many police dogs since I graduated from the police dog school."
"Isn't there a pet market in Ningtai?" The colleague beside him calmed down his police dog and responded casually.
Li Li pouted and said, "What kind of dogs are those guys who don't work?"
Da Zhuang also curled his lips and nodded.
"Comrades!" Xu Taining's voice came through the loudspeaker.
Immediately someone in the queue shouted in a low voice, "Stand at attention", "Take a break"...
Li Li complied, and the police dogs quieted down after a slight commotion.
Xu Taining barely paused before continuing:
"It's quite late, I'll just say a few words. Liu Jinghui, Zhang Yu and Jiao Peng have been missing for ten days."
"They are our colleagues, our comrades-in-arms, and members of the people. They are the backbone of the family, the father of a 9-year-old boy, the son of a 68-year-old retired female teacher, newlyweds who returned from guarding the border for seven years.
Husbands. It is our responsibility and our commitment to them to bring them home."
"Everyone, our efforts over the past few days, every minute and every second we have fought for, are all to give these three people an extra chance of life. I know everyone is very tired. Some comrades have worked continuously for thirty or forty days.
I haven’t slept since I was little, but at this time, I hope everyone can hold on a little longer to give Liu Jinghui, Zhang Yu, and Jiao Peng a little more hope of survival..."
"Now, each team will set off as planned and report any problems in a timely manner."
Xu Taining watched the groups of people set off in an orderly manner, and the four new police dogs also scattered around as planned. Xu Taining himself was a little unable to stand.
This is the fourth wave of search teams today, but the third wave with a large number of police dogs.
The first two waves of people mainly relied on manpower to search. It was not only the power that Xu Taining could mobilize to the maximum extent, but also a bet he made.
If you are lucky and find the person right away, it will be easier and the task will be completed.
But luck failed, and the pressure came back to Xu Taining.
He still trusted Jiang Yuan and basically adopted Jiang Yuan's suggestions. Therefore, the police dogs deployed from across the province began working based on various smell sources.
But only those who have used police dogs know how unstable their actual condition is.
High temperature, disease, psychological factors, environmental factors, etc., will all prevent police dogs from entering optimal working condition.
The source of smell is more affected by the environment.
The reality is that with the first batch of police dogs in place, the performance of the dogs has not been satisfactory.
"Has the suspect confessed?" Xu Taining turned around and asked his subordinates again.
"No." The subordinate answered simply.
"What did Lao Zhou say?"
"Zhou Chu said it was very difficult and didn't say anything else."
Xu Taining said "Yes" a little disappointed, but had nothing to say.
The criminal suspect was determined not to speak, and the interrogation experts were unable to break through his psychological defense for a while, so Xu Taining had no other solution but to wait.
In the past, we might have been able to come up with something, but in the current environment, the bigger the case, the less likely anyone would dare to do it.
This is a case that will go all the way to the High Court. Whenever a suspect in the collegial court says, "I was interrogated for more than ten hours continuously during my detention," or "I was not allowed to drink water or go to the toilet during the interrogation," the whole sentence will be ignored.
All public officials online have to be scrutinized countless times.
In order to survive and escape from the death penalty, no criminal suspect will excuse himself from the police or prosecutors.
Some people may say that he has no evidence.
But as far as the evidence chain requirements of the death penalty are concerned, a broken camera cannot withstand scrutiny. Even if we look at this issue from a dark perspective, if the suspect has no evidence, doesn’t the interrogator still have enemies?
"Now..." The subordinate looked tentatively at Xu Taining, wanting to know if he had any further instructions.
Xu Taining shook his head slightly and said, "Just wait. It depends on everyone's performance and whether Lao Liu's fate is strong or not."
All the clues have been exhausted. The team of thousands of people, as well as the complicated logistics, have been transferred to Xishan in Fangjin Township. Even the dogs from the whole province have been transferred here by Xu Taining.
After reaching this point, Xu Taining felt that he had run out of tricks.
As he said, the next step depends on everyone's performance and Lao Liu's own fate.
"I'll take a nap for a while. Call me when it gets light." Xu Taining looked at the sky and went back to the command vehicle to sleep.
There are less than two hours before dawn. By then, as the view gets better and the temperature rises, there may be new discoveries or new changes.
Xu Taining had only slept about four hours in the past two days. At this time, he could no longer hold on. He got into the command vehicle, sat down, put down the seat, and fell asleep.
Compared with the young people in the criminal police team, Xu Taining is much older.
…
The power supply station's Xishan service point, evidence collection investigators and trace inspection personnel have all withdrawn.
Police dogs and police officers were scattered around, measuring the land inch by inch with their feet.
Bodies, traces, vehicles or any bit of evidence are all what everyone needs.
But outside the service point, these things are like foam in the sea. They seem to be there, but they disappear without a trace.
With the help of several investigation lights, Jiang Yuan only found some irrelevant evidence. Looking back at the police dogs, they all were either running in circles or running back and forth.
Including the meritorious dog Heizi, he was also lying at the handler's feet, taking a few steps and stopping for a moment.
Police dogs find targets based on the source of smell. The most critical step is to have a starting point to break through. If it cannot break through, it will have nowhere to track.
No matter how many police dogs are present, it will be useless if there is no breakthrough.
At this time, Li Li looked at the police dogs around her, especially Heizi, who seemed to be in vain. She gritted her teeth and simply took Da Zhuang all the way to the nearby mine.
She had read the briefing and knew that the cliffs and mines were the most likely places where Liu Chu and others would fall.
The smell source assigned to Da Zhuang belongs to the suspect Fu Guangyun. It is said that if you follow the road, you can smell his scent, but maybe Fu Guangyun has not been here for too long, or everyone is looking in the wrong place. In short, the police dogs are all
No response.
Li Li knew that her strong business ability could not defeat Heizi, so she simply went to the mountains.
Compared with meritorious dogs like Heizi, Da Zhuang's advantages are good physical strength and high obedience. There are several gentle slopes that Li Li can't climb, but Da Zhuang can easily reach them without hesitation.
In this way, when he arrived at an exposed old mining slope, Da Zhuang suddenly started sniffing repeatedly.
This was a sign of "going online", and Li Li's nerves immediately became tense.
The vegetation on both sides of the road is dense, which may have interfered with the police dogs' sense of smell. However, the mining slope here has been damaged by soil, and only some grass is growing, so it is estimated that there is less shielding.
Da Zhuang lowered his head and searched in circles for a moment, then raised his head and ran decisively to the left.
Li Li let go of the strong leash and quickly caught up with her.
Da Zhuang ran all the way to the bottom of the mine slope before sniffing at a grass.
Li Li went over to take a look and saw that the grass had obvious signs of being pulled out.
Looking around again, there happens to be a mine right in front, and in front of Xiaocao, there is a stone half a person's height blocking the view.
Li Li held Da Zhuang in hand and tried to kneel down a little behind Xiaocao. She raised her head and could just observe the situation in the mine.
Walking a few steps further, when you reach the vicinity of the mine, you can see a lot of gravel piled up at the door, but there is not a blade of grass above it. It is too desolate.
Li Li has also been involved in many major cases. At this time, without thinking, she picked up the walkie-talkie and reported: "I searched a mine and there are signs of collapse. Please ask for support..."
After receiving a response and reporting the specific location, Li Li tried to approach the mine and shouted loudly: "Liu Chu, Liu Jinghui!"
"Liu Chu!"
"Liu Jinghui!"
Li Li shouted several times, then listened attentively, but received no response, and stood up slightly disappointed.
At this time, a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came from inside the mine.
Boom, boom, boom...
It's just the sound of metal hitting metal. It's not very real, but it's definitely someone knocking.
Li Li's palms nervously tightened her strong neck.
"Found it!" Li Li squeezed Zhuangpi tightly in disbelief.
Da Zhuang looked back at Li Li and found that she was in a state of emotional explosion, so he silently turned back and shrugged the flesh on his neck.
The skin on a dog's neck is thick and flossy, and it's not worth barking at.
