Chapter 522: Distress

To be cautious, Zhang Zian asked Sun Xiaomeng to reply to the customers surnamed Qian and Li respectively, asking them in detail where the dog was lost. After a while, I received their reply.

After summarizing the information, the three people present concluded a pattern. The dog-lost incidents all happened in the Dongcheng District. It's been a long time, the monitoring facilities are not perfect, there are many dead spots, and the security guards are not very responsible, so it is easy for people to take advantage of it.

Among them, the customer surnamed Li claimed that although the surveillance did not capture the process of stealing the dog, it did capture suspicious vehicles, and then sent a screenshot of the surveillance video.

These three dog loss incidents either happened in the early morning or in the evening. It should not be a coincidence, because the light in the early morning and evening is the dimmest, and the clarity of the surveillance video can be imagined. The screenshot of the video sent by the customer surnamed Li is very blurry. It can only be seen that it is an MPV with a side sliding door. The door was left open during driving and was not completely closed. Apart from this, there is no sign that this car is related to the lost car. The dog incident is related, and it is pure fantasy to use this screenshot as evidence.

The customer surnamed Li complained in the message, saying that he took the surveillance video to the police station in the jurisdiction to report the case, but the police refused to accept it, and advised him to go home and look for it, maybe he was lost.

Zhang Zian can also understand that there are too many things for the police at the end of the year. Even if a person disappears, they cannot file a case immediately. Generally speaking, it will take 24 hours, let alone a dog, and there is no evidence.

The surveillance camera was located at a high place and did not capture the face of the MPV driver, but it did capture the license plate, although it was blurry.

Zhang Zian thought about it, and called Shengke because today is New Year's Day, he was too embarrassed to disturb Shengke's rest, so he called the landline of Shengke's office, if no one answered, just wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

As a result, Shengke answered almost instantly. After Zhang Zian briefly explained his intentions, Shengke asked him to send the picture to the designated mailbox, and then waited for the call.

After a while, Shengke called back and said that people from the technical department had processed the picture and recognized the license plate, but unfortunately, after inquiry, the license plate was a fake license plate, and the model did not match. In other words, it was a fake license plate , unable to find out the ownership of this mpv.

Sheng Ke on the phone seems to be very busy, and his subordinates ask him to deal with things from time to time. Even so, he still says he will mention it to the traffic police to let them pay attention to the relevant license plate and model, and declares that it is not because of Zhang Zian For face, but because decks are also illegal.

Zhang Zian used hands-free to answer and make calls, so that Ning Lan and Sun Xiaomeng could hear him. Although Ning Lan was eager to find a dog, she couldn't bear to hear that Sheng Ke had to work overtime even on New Year's Day, so she gestured to say forget it.

After a brief apology and thanks, he hung up the phone.

Ning Lan sighed, "Forget it, I'll look for it myself. Thank you, Manager Zhang, I am already very grateful for your willingness to help, so don't continue to disturb other people's normal work because of our affairs. After all, Sheng The captain should have many more important things to deal with..."

She is a very sensible person, and she didn't mess around because Zhang Zian knew the captain of the criminal police.

When the matter came to this point, it was a deadlock. The other party obviously came prepared, prepared carefully, and even used the deck. Even if Zhang Zian and Sun Xiaomeng helped, there was nothing they could do.

Ning Lan looked at the time, got up and said, "Sister Xiaomeng, thank you, I'm leaving first, today is New Year's Day, you should have a good rest. I made an appointment with my classmates, and they are waiting for me at the gate of Binhai University. Today we plan to go find a dog together, there are many people and strength is great."

"I'm sorry I didn't help much." Sun Xiaomeng got up to send her out.

Ning Lan thanked Zhang Zian again: "Thank you for your help, Manager Zhang. Although Tuantuan is irreplaceable, if he really can't be found, he will definitely go to your place to buy another dog."

As soon as she left, Zhang Zian remembered that the bunch of elves at home were still waiting for breakfast.

He also hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

"You're welcome, then I'll go too."

Leaving Sun Xiaomeng's clinic, Ning Lan went to meet her classmates, Zhang Zian went to Uncle Li's shop and returned to the pet shop with a foam incubator.

While the elves were eating breakfast, Zhang Zian turned on the computer at the cash register, logged into the backstage of the official account, edited a group message and sent it out: Spring Festival is coming, there have been frequent incidents of dog theft in Dongcheng District recently, everyone should pay more attention when going out for a walk , be sure to tie the leash and keep the dog out of your sight.

After a while, more than one person left a message confirming that some neighbors had lost their dogs in the past few days, mainly around the village in the city.

Others reviled dog thieves for their shame and morality, and they would definitely bump into ghosts when walking at night in the future.

A few minutes later, Xiaoxue also reposted this message on her Weibo homepage, calling on everyone to pay attention to the safety of dogs.

Today, although the store is open for business as usual, there are not many customers who come to the door. They may be taking advantage of the rare three-day long vacation to rest or visit relatives. Most of the nearby shops are also closed.

Zhang Zian continued to read the Abyssinian cat breeding manual left by Cathy, but couldn't calm down.

He simply put down the manual, dressed again, grabbed the baseball and mitt, and prepared to go to the green for his daily game. The weather today was bad, cloudy and cold, so he didn't ask the elves to go out together.

After locking the shutter door, he led Zhan Tian to leave through the back door.

The back door of the pet shop is a secluded alley, and the right side leads to the green space, surrounded by an old-fashioned residential area to be demolished. The houses in these old-fashioned residential areas are not well sealed, and the winter is very cold. There are not many residents living here, and most of them are old, young, sick and disabled.

The green area was as usual, empty and desolate, with no one there.

Zhang Zian played with Zhan Tian for a while, and he clearly felt that Zhan Tian's nerve excitement was much stronger than when he first came here, which was specifically reflected in the reaction speed and execution efficiency of his passwords. This is not to say that the special police force cannot train dogs, but that the special police have more important things to do, and it is impossible to delay daily training and tasks for a dog. Zhantian is excellent, but there are many other candidates for police dogs, and every year There will be an endless stream of new police dogs delivered to your door.

Zhang Zian knew very well that Zhan Tian was unlikely to return to his peak state, as long as he could live a normal life.

"Zhan Tian, ​​bring it back!"

He throws a baseball, catches it back, rewards it with beef jerky, and so on. He throws more and more forcefully, and the landing point is constantly changing, but Zhan Tian can always complete the task well.

Whoosh

He threw the baseball again, but this time he didn't get it right. The baseball knocked against the fence, bounced and jumped towards the alley at the entrance and exit of the green space.

Zhan Tian excitedly chased after him, turned a corner, and disappeared into the alley.

Zhang Zian didn't care. When Zhan Tian came back, he picked up his phone and checked the time. It's not early, it's almost time to go back, today I haven't had my daily boxing lessons, and I haven't played hide-and-seek with Xinghai.

However, after waiting for a while, Zhan Tian did not come back.

He threw it with a lot of force just now, and the baseball flew a long distance, but even so, Zhan Tian should have returned. Could it be that the baseball got stuck somewhere, and Zhan Tian couldn't catch it? This is also possible, sometimes the baseball he throws gets stuck in a tree branch, and he has to move a ladder to climb the tree to get it.

After waiting for a while, Zhan Tian still didn't come back.

Zhang Zian seemed to have a bad premonition in his heart, he raised his voice and shouted: "Zhan Tian, ​​come back!"

Usually as long as he yells, Zhan Tian will return to him and wait for the order no matter whether Zhan Tian gets the baseball or not.

Before the words fell, Zhan Tian in the alley suddenly let out an irritated roar, and almost at the same time, the roar of a car engine came from the alley again.

Fuck!

Zhang Zian's scalp was numb, and ten thousand alpacas galloped past his heart, trampling his little heart full of holes.

You won't be so unlucky to meet me, right?

He ran to the entrance and exit of the green space, regretting secretly as he ran, wishing to slap himself awake, this old residential area waiting for demolition has no monitoring and no security, isn't it the favorite place for the dog gang to commit crimes? Why was he so careless and ignored this fact? To actually be ashamed to remind others not to let the dog stay away from their sight, it was a capsize in the gutter, and they were slapped in the face!

If Zhan Tian is taken away, when Fu Tao from the Police Dog Nursing Home asks about Zhan Tian's current situation, what face will he answer...

Zhang Zian's physical strength was much better than before, and he rushed out of the green space and into the alley in one breath.

A black shadow flashed in front of his eyes, he almost collided with something, he was so startled that he was covered in cold sweat, he quickly moved aside, but when he took a closer look, it turned out to be Zhan Tian.

"Zhan Tian, ​​are you alright?" He was both surprised and delighted, wondering if it was a false alarm?

The situation of Zhantian was not quite right, it barked anxiously towards the other side of the alley, as if seeing some enemy.

Zhang Zian also looked over, and saw an mpv disappearing at the end of the alley trailing smoke and dust. Judging from its appearance, it seemed to be the one in the video screenshot of the customer surnamed Li. He subconsciously wanted to take out his mobile phone to take a picture of the license plate, but then he thought that the license plate was a fake one, and it would be useless to take pictures.

"It's okay, Zhan Tian, ​​it's okay."

He hugged Zhantian and tried his best to calm its emotions.

Taking a closer look, the hair on Zhan Tian's neck seemed to be scraped against the direction of hair growth by something, and it suddenly became a piece, and the skin under the hair was also slightly red.

Zhan Tian yelled angrily in the direction where the mpv disappeared, and then shut up as unwillingly.

"Zhan Tian, ​​let's go home first."

Zhang Zian tied the leash to Zhan Tian in shock, and just took two steps, but found that Zhan Tian seemed very interested in the soft thing on the ground, sniffing around, unwilling to leave.

Zhang Zian was very sure, there was no such thing on the ground when he came here, it was probably left by those gangs of dogs.

He picked it up and squeezed it. It looked like a rice ball, or a pastry like a donkey rolling. It was soft and smelled a little fragrant. I don't know what it was made of.

The course of events was roughly sketched in his mind.

The group drove into the alley, slowed down, or parked with the car on, looking for a dog that could be a target, and then they saw Battle Sky running out of the green to grab a baseball. They thought that Zhan Tian was an ordinary German Shepherd, and they threw bait at it like ordinary dogs. This bait probably has an irresistible attraction to dogs. Ordinary dogs would run over to pick up food when they smelled the bait, but these people They will take the opportunity to produce gloves and dogs, one set is accurate.

However, Zhan Tian is not an ordinary dog. Although he retired early, he is still a candidate for the former ace police dog, and he will not pick up food thrown by strangers. Its vigilance has always been high, and the bait has not worked. That group of people might be out of their wits, unwilling to just let go of this German shepherd with excellent pedigree and appearance, after all, it is worth a lot of money, so they drove up and tried to lure Zhan Tian away, but he dodged cleverly and barked loudly to attract Zhang Zian's attention.

The group felt guilty, and seeing that the momentum was wrong, they immediately stepped on the accelerator and accelerated to escape. Zhang Zian who rushed over only got the exhaust of the car.

Zhang Zian felt that it was a pity. If it was Zhan Tian before he was hurt by the flash bomb, he would have rushed to bite him ferociously. Stopping this gang of thieves can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people.

"Let's go, Zhan Tian, ​​let's go home." He put the bait in his pocket, and led Zhan Tian to the pet shop through the back door, but Zhan Tian stopped at the door, staring at the direction where the mpv disappeared. He pulled it several times, but Zhan Tian didn't move.

Zhang Zian frowned, knelt down and asked, "Zhan Tian, ​​do you remember their scent?"

Zhan Tian turned his head, barked loudly, and then continued to stare into the distance.

He understood what Zhan Tian meant, it wanted to chase after him.

As a former ace police dog candidate, Zhan Tian must have received professional scent recognition training and must have graduated with excellent grades, otherwise he would not have been selected for the extremely demanding special police force.

To be honest, Zhang Zian was also very angry with this group of people, they even bullied him, but he was calmer, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed by anger. He mainly considers two points, one is whether Zhan Tian can follow the scent, and the other is whether he can bring those people to justice after chasing them.

Especially the second point, since the opponent is a gang, there should be no less than three people, or even more. He and Zhan Tian have one person and one dog, and their strength is somewhat weak. Zhang Zian has some attainments in Wing Chun, but he has little actual combat experience. If the opponent has a fruit knife or a brick, he and Zhan Tian will be in danger. Losses are not worth taking such a big risk on the spur of the moment.

It is not appropriate to ask Shengke for help. After all, it is not sure whether Zhantian can track the other party.

Old tea is sure to be safe if it is shot, but if old tea behaves too well in broad daylight, it may cause trouble, so it is best not to.

In any case, a decision must be made as soon as possible, otherwise the smell left by the other party will soon dissipate.

Thinking of this, he asked Zhan Tian to wait at the door, and he poked his head into the room to say hello: "Femas, come out with me."

Femas was lying on the recliner and dozing boredly. Hearing Zhang Zian's solemn tone, it immediately followed.

Facing the puzzled gazes of Fina and Old Tea, he didn't have time to explain, he just said, "I'll tell you later that lunch might be late today."

"Huh?" Just as Fei Na was about to complain, Zhang Zian had already closed the back door.

He took out his phone and sent a message to Sun Xiaomeng, asking for Ning Lan's phone number.

"Hello, is this Ning Lan? I'm Zhang Zian, the manager of Qiyuan Pet Shop." He dialed the phone.

"Ah, hello." Ning Lan was obviously a little surprised, "Master Zhang, what's the matter? Did you find my family?"

There was anticipation in her tone.

"No, but I may have found some clues. You and your classmates are still looking around Binhai University?" Zhang Zian asked.

"Oh, yes."

"how many people?"

"One, two, three... Including me, there are ten people." She said, and the voices of other people could be faintly heard through the loudspeaker.

There were quite a lot of people. It seemed that Ning Lan was very popular in the class, very popular. Zhang Zian estimated that most of the ten people were boys.

"Okay, come here as soon as possible and gather at the intersection of Zhonghua Road. I saw that car just now." He said.

Ning Lan was both surprised and happy, and quickly said, "Okay, we'll go there right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Zian patted Zhan Tian who was eager to try, "Zhan Tian, ​​it's up to you."
