What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter Thirty-Eight

After being blocked by Miss Yang from closing the elevator door, after staring at it for a few seconds, Xiang Kun frowned and asked, Are you going to come in or not?

Ms. Yang seemed to hesitate for a while, and asked, You... have you seen my PINKIE?

Is this a lost dog?

Thinking of the performance of the husky and Miss Yang when they were together, Xiang Kun felt that it was not strange to get lost.

I didn't see it. Xiang Kun replied concisely.

But Ms. Yang didn't seem to have any plans to leave, she looked at him and said, If you abducted PINKIE, just return it, I won't pursue it... If you want money, I can also give it to you. .”

Xiang Kun felt a little baffled: Miss, don't we know each other? Apart from meeting in the elevator the day before yesterday, have we not had any other contact? I haven't even spoken to you... How could you suspect that I stole your dog? ?”

Ms. Yang said: That day... my PINKIE was obviously scared by you! I dare not go into that elevator again these days! You must hate dogs! You... If PINKIE is really abducted by you, you put it Give it back to me, I won't take it out in the future, okay?

Xiang Kun looked at Miss Yang at the elevator door speechlessly, and felt that it was really unlucky to have such an owner in that husky booth.

Xiang Kun didn't hate dogs. He knew very well that if a dog was annoying and affected others, 90% of the reasons were the owner's fault. It's like bear children are annoying, most of them are the parents' problem.

I didn't abduct your dog, and I haven't seen your dog since that day. Instead of wasting your time pestering me here, you might as well find it quickly. Go to the owner group and mobilize the residents who have dogs around to help, and then post it to find it. Dog notices. But I advise you, after the dog is found, go to the Internet to look for content on how to raise and train the dog, otherwise you and the dog will be very painful if you keep it like this.”

After hearing Xiang Kun's words, Miss Yang took two steps back in a daze and let the elevator door close slowly.

Before the elevator door was about to close, Xiang Kun's heart skipped a beat. He pressed the door open button, and the elevator door slowly opened again.

Miss Yang, when and where did you say your dog got lost?

Xiang Kun stepped out of the elevator and asked Miss Yang who was still dazed by the elevator.

Ms. Yang was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said: Yesterday... I took PINKIE out to play last night. I called my friend, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye. Last night, I and a few friends searched for most of the night but couldn't find it. , Do you think PINKIE will be caught by dog ​​traffickers... I read a lot on the Internet that dog traffickers catch dogs and sell them to dog meat hot pot restaurants... I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xiang Kun comforted him lazily, and asked again: Where did you get lost?

It's on the big lawn in the garden center on the edge of the community. Anyone with a dog nearby will take it there for a walk.

Did the dog not lead when you called?

When I got there, I untied the dog leash... PINKIE has been lost twice before, but it was found within an hour or two. This time... maybe this time it was really abducted... Yang The young lady looked at him eagerly: You...do you want to help me find a dog? If you help me find it, I can give you money...

Xiang Kun waved his hand: I don't need your money. If I have time, I will find it for you. If you find it back, you have to learn how to raise and train dogs.

Yeah, if PINKIE comes back, I'll take it to class with me... Ms. Yang hurriedly said, although she had only met Xiang Kun once and felt that he didn't like her dog, she somehow felt that he should Very competent and speaks convincingly.

Xiang Kun didn't bother to talk to her, so he walked out of the building and walked out of the community.

Of course, Xiang Kun didn't want to be courteous because of Miss Yang's good looks, nor did he want to help others out of love,

Instead, he was guessing that the loss of Ms. Yang's husky might be related to the source of the special smell he was looking for?

At the same time, he also wanted to test his ability to track by smell, whether he could find the lost husky.

The lawn that Ms. Yang mentioned is not far from the community.

To be honest, most of the people who raise dogs here don’t have the awareness of raising dogs in a civilized manner. Dog poop can be seen everywhere on the lawn and nearby roads, and the dog owners don’t deal with it.

It was almost six o'clock in the evening, and many people were walking around with their pets.

The strong smell left by these various pet dogs also had a considerable impact on Xiang Kun's pursuit of the husky's smell.

Xiang Kun didn't need to ask Miss Yang for the husky's smell, because he already had an impression of the smell when they met in the elevator last time.

After walking around the lawn, Xiang Kun finally caught the husky's scent.

There are many directions where the smell extends. Xiang Kun first ruled out the direction towards their community, and then ruled out the remaining directions one by one.

Although it took only three days for Xiang Kun to move here, he spent most of the time in that small hill and its surroundings.

But because he spent time memorizing, patrolling and investigating, he actually knows the surroundings of the community better than most residents, especially the corners and corners where animals like to go but humans ignore.

Tracking odors, especially in cities, is very difficult. First, there are too many interferences. Second, various cement roads and asphalt roads are relatively difficult to adhere to odors, and odors are easier to dissipate and lack. directivity.

Even for a well-trained urban tracking dog, it is not easy to accurately track the target, and it requires a lot of manpower and a lot of time.

But Xiang Kun's sense of smell is stronger than most dogs now, and he has the ability of subjective analysis and thinking. In the process of chasing the smell, he can analyze the actual environment, terrain and other information obtained, and speculate that the target may be direction and position of movement.

After eleven o'clock in the evening, Xiang Kun finally found a clue.

But the clue was a large puddle of blood and a few pinches of dog hair.

Judging from the amount of bleeding, the husky was probably in danger.

However, here Xiang Kun suddenly smelled the special smell that he had smelled in the mountain before, this time it was much stronger than what he smelled next to the dead mouse!

It was the thing that did it!

It is far away from the lawn where Ms. Yang walks her dog, and it is relatively remote.

There were no traces of other animals or humans found beside the puddle of dog blood. How could the corpse just disappear like this?

But Xiang Kun was no longer surprised this time, because he directly looked up at the sky and at the branch of a big tree next to him. He knew that that thing had stayed on it.

No wonder he couldn't find any traces of medium and large animals around the dead mouse in the mountains before. It turns out that thing can fly!

The mouse was probably not hunted in the mountains, but was thrown from the air into the mountains after it was killed.

What is it? Is it a bird? A bird that big? Can an adult husky be hunted directly?

Xiang Kun's expression was a little dignified. If this thing was an animal, it would definitely be a very dangerous vicious beast. If it could hunt and kill huskies, then killing people would not be impossible.

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to call 110 directly, but after thinking about it, he opened WeChat and clicked on Officer Chen's profile picture.

After typing a few words, Xiang Kun hesitated again. After hesitating for a moment, he put the phone away.

He looked into the distance, although the husky's body must have been taken away by that thing, but the husky bled too much, even if it was flying, it was inevitable that blood would fall all the way, so Xiang Kun had a clue to track it down .

Following the smell, after walking more than ten meters, he saw a few drops of blood falling on the grass, and then continued to walk forward, finding some blood at intervals.
