Chapter 523: Tracking

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

While walking, Zhang Zian briefly explained the incident that had just happened to Famous and then made it smell the ball of soft and fragrant bait.

Famous couldn't tell the ingredients of the bait, but it confirmed Zhang Zian's speculation that this thing had a strange aroma that was very appealing to dogs.

When they walked out of the alley, Zhan Tian lowered its head and sniffed around on the ground. There was no wind today, but the air quality was poor with light pollution. The disgusting odor of automobile exhaust could be vaguely smelled in the air, which was the main reason Zhang Zian did not want to take the elves outside to play . However, the weather today had created a good atmosphere for Zhan Tian's tracking.

At almost the same time as when Zhang Zian arrived at the junction of Zhonghua Road, Ning Lan and a group of young men and women arrived there in three taxis.

Ning Lan jumped out of the car, and anxiously asked, "Manager Zhang, you saw the car in the video, right? Which way did it drive to?"

Zhang Zian pointed to Zhan Tian. "I was in the alley when I saw the car, and then it drove away. My dog ​​is tracking the smell of those people."

Ning Lan and her classmates were surprised and focused their eyes on Zhan Tian.

"Is this dog reliable?" More than one person whispered their doubts.

Ning Lan had told her classmates about the identity of Zhang Zian in the taxi. Someone replied, "I don't think so. This is not a movie. How can a random dog from a pet shop be used as a police dog?"

Someone even jokingly sneered. "Will it just lead us to the Qing-Feng Steamed Dumpling Shop? We might as well eat lunch there! I did not eat breakfast...I'm really a bit hungry now."

This joke was a bit frivolous, however, this was not the time for making jokes. Ning Lan glared unhappily at the guy.

Their reactions were just as Zhang Zian had expected. It was not their dogs that were missing so why would they be so anxious? In other words, most of Ning Lan's classmates, whether out of sentiment toward a schoolfellow, friendship, or affection; they were here only because they cared about Ning Lan instead of Ning Lan's dog.

Zhang Zian did not refute these doubts because he was also uncertain if Zhan Tian would be able to track down the gang of the dog-trappers. Most importantly, he was not doing this for Ning Lan. Instead, he thought it might be a good opportunity to rebuild Zhan Tian's confidence.

Famous also bowed and sniffed. However, it had never received the professional training of odor identification and tracking. The odor environment in the city was too complicated. After trying several times, it gave up and shook its head gently.

Odor recognition was a skill that required natural talent. Even when two dogs of the same breed received the same odor identification training, their grades could be completely different. In this regard, Zhan Tian was undoubtedly an outstanding police dog, as evidenced by the fact that it was once selected into the SWAT team.

Zhang Zian held the leash behind Zhan Tian while it led the way and focused on sniffing the smell. Zhan Tian walked faster in the straight streets, but when it came to such traffic arteries as crossroads, it would take Zhan Tian more than ten minutes to sniff the roads in all directions before it finally chose to pursue one of the directions.

Ning Lan was extremely anxious but did not dare to urge Zhan Tian. After all, she had been very grateful to Zhang Zian who was willing to help her.

Walking in large groups with two dogs, Zhang Zian, Ning Lan, and her classmates were quite eye-catching.

Near a crossroads, they encountered an unexpected episode.

"Comrade, please wait a moment."

At first, Zhang Zian ignored the voice, because he didn't think the person was talking to him. He didn't stop until the person repeated the sentence. He looked up and saw a traffic police officer wearing a winter uniform with a fur collar on a parked police motorcycle on the roadside. The police officer took off his sunglasses, walked to Zhang Zian quickly and said politely, "Comrade, please show me your dog-raising license."

Zhang Zian was so perplexed. Since when were the traffic police in charge of the matter of raising dogs? But he vaguely remembered that yesterday's local news did mention that the city government had decided to clean up the city by controlling wild dogs during the holiday season.

Ning Lan was very nervous. Although it was unclear if Zhang Zian's dogs could track down the smell of the gang, this was her only option for the time being. It would be very troublesome if these two German Shepherds were detained because Zhang Zian didn't possess the dog-raising license.

So, she took two steps forward, hoping the police officer could make an exception this time. But Zhang Zian waved to her and indicated that she didn't need to do so. He pulled out a dog-raising license and an immunization card from his pocket and handed them to the traffic police officer.

"This is its document," he pointed to Famous.

After confirming the validation of the documents, the police officer handed them back to Zhang Zian and politely asked, "Comrade, please also show me the license of the other dog."

"It is a retired police dog. So, I don't have a dog-raising license for it," Zhang Zian explained.

Ning Lan and her classmates were shocked. This German Shepherd that had been leading the way and tracking the smell of the gang for them was actually a retired police dog? But judging from its age, it was not very old. How come it had retired from the police so early?

Some people also doubted whether Zhang Zian had made that up for the inspection.

The traffic police officer apparently did not believe Zhang Zian's answer. Instead, he asked, "Please show me its police dog certificate then."

"That one I have." Zhang Zian took out the police dog certificate for Zhan Tian and handed it to him.

The police dog certificate of Zhan Tian was given to him by Fu Tao, who was the owner of a police dog nursing home. Zhang Zian had carried the certificate with him all the time in case there was any inspection, and it indeed had come in handy today.

The police dog certificate was issued by the Binhai Police Dog Training Base and could be used in Binhai City as well as in the adjacent provinces. On the certificate, there was a printed photo of Zhan Tian, as well as its birthday, breed, chip serial number, certificate serial number and other information, which was accessible on the internet.

When the traffic police officer saw the name of the SWAT team on the certificate, he could not help but hold his breath.

He handed the police dog certificate back to Zhang Zian and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, thank you for your cooperation."

The traffic police officer saluted and left on his police motorcycle.

Ning Lan's classmates were astonished. "Wow! Is this really a police dog?"

They kept asking Zhang Zian. "Where did you get a retired police dog? I also want to raise one."

"We shouldn't waste time here any longer. If you want to know, I can tell you on the way." Zhang Zian gestured to Zhan Tian to continue tracking. He briefly introduced the story of Zhan Tian to Ning Lan and her classmates on the way.

Ning Lan's classmates were very envious of Zhang Zian because it was difficult for ordinary people to adopt retired police dogs, especially such a young one. In addition, they had greatly increased their confidence in Zhan Tian and believed that it would be able to track down the gang of dog-trappers.

Zhan Tian led them on circuitous routes and they got farther away from the city. A lot of people were tired, but they held on. In the end, they had arrived at the outskirt of the city where a large area of ​​old neighborhoods appeared in front of them.

Many of the people present had recognized this area, including Zhang Zian and Ning Lan.

Huh? Wasn't this the urban village of Binhai City?
