Animal Detective

Chapter 323 It's time for him, Tiankui, to make his mark.

It's not just Mabaogou Village that needs to be relocated.

Of the 54 natural villages in the town, nearly ten need to be relocated, based on the terrain.

The town government office was in complete chaos.

The police station next door was just as chaotic.

Sun Yongjie and the others were all scrambled out to help with the evacuation.

Li Xiaowen didn't even have time to interrogate Duan Dongqiang.

This guy tried to run away halfway, but someone was watching him. As soon as the murder weapon was found, Li Xiaowen immediately had someone hold him down.

The entire force brought by Li Xiaowen was also mobilized to help maintain order in the village.

Where are you going?

As Li Xiaowen was arranging people, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye and quickly grabbed him.

It's Li Shi, kid, you're trying to run away.

Li Shi looked anxious and said, "My sister, and my grandma."

He heard that Baijiashao was also on the list of those who needed to be transferred.

Li Xiaowen didn't let go, saying, "It's the people being transferred from the outpost. Your home is on the mountain, what are you afraid of?"

He subconsciously thought that Li Shi's home was on a mountain, high up, so there was no problem.

Li Shi still struggled, shaking his head and saying, "No, there's a slope behind our house. There was a landslide a few years ago that almost buried our house."

Li Xiaowen was taken aback, unaware of the situation, but still did not let go.

"You don't need to worry about that. What you've thought of, surely the people who arranged the evacuation haven't thought of either. Besides, it's so far away, how will you get back? Just stay put, nothing will happen."

He looked around and then locked Li Shi and Tian Kui in a room.

However, he took Li Shi's situation to heart and spoke to the person in charge of coordinating things in the town.

Sure enough, the other side had already thought of this and said that the school on the outpost and the remaining villagers should be evacuated.

Li Xiaowen was finally relieved.

At this moment, at Baijiashao.

As the rain poured down, Guo Jin, wearing a raincoat, directed the villagers to evacuate.

The same situation as Shen Xin in Mabaogou Village.

Some people absolutely refused to leave.

The family in the village that raised donkeys insisted on driving all their donkeys together.

Add to that the illnesses and those who are bedridden year-round, and it becomes a complete mess.

Around 7 o'clock, a large number of people were pulled outside.

Guo Jin waded through the water, which flowed downhill with a rushing sound, just like a river, and could reach above his ankles.

"Old Fu, take attendance, make sure no one is missing!" He greeted Fu Lianghui and asked him to take attendance.

He was like this in another village before.

When we called roll, we realized someone was missing.

Fu Lianghui nodded and quickly asked the village committee members to take attendance and check the number of people.

After ordering a bunch of things, there really weren't enough people.

Li Yao and Geng Aiying.

Fu Lianghui was startled, his eyes wide as he yelled into the walkie-talkie, "Chen Qing, didn't I tell you to go to the outpost and tell everyone to come down? Now you're telling me we're short of men?"

The voice on the walkie-talkie said, "I was tied up with something else, so I sent Zhang Maoning. Everyone else from the school and the back came down, but who knew we'd left Li Yao's house behind."

Fu Lianghui slapped his thigh and started cursing.

Guo Jin also wanted to curse.

Everyone has been notified and the notices have been issued; only Li Yao and Geng Aiying remain.

And he's surnamed Zhang? If something really happens, to put it bluntly, this is murder!

"Where's Zhang Maoning!" Fu Lianghui shouted into the walkie-talkie.

Soon, Zhang Maoning's voice rang out, explaining, "Old Fu, I notified them. His grandma is bedridden and can't move. I said I'd find a car to pick them up, but I was so busy I forgot."

Fu Lianghui got angry and roared, "Zhang Maoning, you better really forget about it."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked up at the mountain.

At this moment, the two stood at the entrance of the village.

On the right side of the road leading uphill, water flows swiftly downhill.

On the winding mountain road leading up the mountain, the water was even greater, flowing directly down the hillside.

"I go."

Fu Lianghui turned to leave.

Guo Jin grabbed him: "Nonsense."

With such a rapid current, it's practically a flood; people can't even stand up straight.

He turned and got into the pickup truck.

The engine started, and the headlights illuminated the night.

Fu Lianghui followed over and asked, "Can your beat-up car even handle this?"

Guo Jin glanced at the water under the lamplight and gritted his teeth, saying, "It has to work, even if it doesn't work."

With that, he floored the gas pedal, and the pickup truck sped off.

Fast speeds on sand, slow speeds on water, low gears at high RPMs.

The pickup truck cleaved through the water, splashing up two jets of water as it charged up the mountain in the darkness.

When they reached the mountain road, just after turning a bend, the old pickup truck broke down with a violent jolt.

At the village entrance, Fu Lianghui was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

Inside the car, Guo Jin tried to start the engine again and again, but to no avail.

This is not a case of being submerged in water.

The pickup truck has a high chassis; it's just that the vehicle is too old and has stopped running.

The windshield wipers were on full blast, swishing away with a loud clanging sound, which made Guo Jin so angry he almost slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then muttered to himself in the car, just like last time.

“Car, car, you’ve been with the station for eight years now, accompanying me on so many long trips, leaving me stranded on the road so many times.”

"I won't hold it against you, but you're not allowed to mess things up for me today."

"My name is Guo Jin, the name of a great hero. Guo Jing rides a Ferghana horse, so you'd better give me a push!"

Guo Jin silently counted one, two, three, and turned the key again.

A violent shudder, like the labored breathing of a dying person, followed. Finally, the old diesel engine, which had run countless kilometers, started.

Guo Jin's eyes widened, and he excitedly shouted "To hell with it!" before flooring the accelerator.

Thick black smoke billowed, the engine roared, and the pickup truck sped up the mountain road against the rushing water.

In the darkness, two beams of light illuminated the path ahead, carrying Guo Jin up the mountain in a voluntary foul.

Down the mountain, Fu Lianghui watched nervously.

Watching the pickup truck start up again, and seeing those two beams of hope rush up the mountain in one go, Fu Lianghui excitedly stomped his foot and shouted in the torrential rain.

"Guo Jin, you really didn't waste your name!"

On the mountain.

Guo Jin slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car, and rushed into Li Xingping's house.

The roof leaked, and the house was filled with buckets and basins.

The power was cut off. Li Yao, trembling, watched Guo Jin rush in as he stayed with Geng Aiying. His lips trembled, and he was about to cry.

"uncle!"

Guo Jin sighed, strode forward, picked up Geng Aiying on his back, and grabbed Li Yao tightly with his other hand.

"go!"

Going up the mountain is difficult, and coming down is not easy either.

Guo Jin gripped the steering wheel tightly, the car swaying back and forth as the water flowed, trying to prevent it from being swept off the road.

Ultimately, nothing unexpected happened, and they made it back to the village entrance without any major incidents.

Fu Lianghui came up to him, excitedly patting the front of the car and exclaiming, "Old Guo, this car is great!"

Guo Jin laughed heartily, his face full of pride: "Of course, it can stay open for another ten years."

Take the person to a safe area.

Just then, a rumbling sound came from afar.

It's impossible to see clearly in the dark.

Fu Lianghui was horrified; he was certain it was a landslide.

With such heavy rain, landslides are quite normal.

With a serious expression, Guo Jin instructed Fu Lianghui to keep an eye on the people here and wait for the town to arrange a car to pick them up. Then he drove his pickup truck to other villages.

On the way, he saw in a group chat on his phone that someone had said a mudslide had occurred in Mabaogou Village.

Guo Jin's heart skipped a beat. If he remembered correctly, Li Xiaowen had said that Shen Xin had stayed in Mabaogou Village to look after 10,000 people.

He quickly stepped on the gas and turned onto the road leading to Mabaogou Village.

Soon, he saw the light on the mountain and drove straight towards it until he saw Shen Xin calling people to get in the car and head towards the town. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

By this time, the rain had subsided considerably.

Guo Jin hurried forward, about to ask a question, but standing on the mountain, he glanced into the distance and was immediately startled.

It was faintly visible that most of the entire Mabaogou Village had already been swallowed up.

"Shen Xin, are you alright?" Guo Jin asked anxiously.

Shen Xin waved his hand and said it was nothing.

A villager nearby chimed in, saying that they had all seen it; the mudslide had spread and almost swallowed Shen Xin and the others.

Guo Jin was terrified.

“It’s all in the past, everything’s fine now.” Shen Xin shook his head.

It was definitely dangerous, but if we're talking about real danger, last year in Huibei Village was truly dangerous. A hail of bullets, a ricochet could have cost you your life.

There's also Dai Yajun, who, on the narrow, winding village roads, drove a tricycle and became known as the "God of Driving" in Mabaogou.

Guo Jin stayed behind to help maintain order at the scene.

There were quite a few people sitting on the ground crying loudly; it was a chaotic scene.

After most of the people had been evacuated, the phone rang in the car.

Guo Jin's expression changed drastically after he answered the phone.

Villages that felt there was a risk chose to relocate, but an accident still occurred.

A landslide occurred in a nearby village called Dengjiawan.

"Oh shit."

Guo Jin cursed and turned to get into the car.

"Director Guo, I'll go with you." Shen Xin quickly followed, as the area had been almost completely evacuated.

Guo Jin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

They're all police officers; if we don't step in now, wouldn't we be letting down the word "police"?

"By the way, what about the ten thousand?" Guo Jin looked at the ten thousand again.

This donkey has done a great service.

Dai Yajun hurriedly said, "Shen Xin, you guys go first. I'll keep an eye on the 10,000. Don't worry, the donkey will stay with us as long as we're here."

This vow is a bit childish.

Shen Xin waved his hand and quickly got into the car.

The pickup truck drove down the mountain, cutting through the waves with a powerful rumble.

Shen Xin asked for details.

Guo Jin shook his head and said he didn't know. He only said that he had thought that Dengjiawan would not have any problems, but he did not expect that a landslide would occur in a place where there should not be any problems.

I heard that almost half a village was buried there.

He slammed his fist on the steering wheel and said angrily that he hadn't expected it to rain so heavily.

Shen Xin felt heavy-hearted and hurriedly said, "Director Guo, please contact the station immediately and have someone bring Tian Kui over. He can be used as a search and rescue dog."

The people in Dengjiawan didn't evacuate; with such heavy rain, they must all be inside.

The incident happened suddenly; everyone must be buried inside the house.

Machang Town is so remote that it will definitely take some time to mobilize rescue forces from the county and city.

If we could confirm the location of people in advance at this time, we might be able to save more lives.

Considering Tian Kui's performance in the grand competition, he is absolutely qualified to be the best search and rescue dog.

Guo Jin's eyes lit up. That's right, there are police dogs in Machang Town.

Immediately, he hurriedly called the police station and asked them to bring Tian Kui over to meet him at Dengjiawan.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Jin frowned and said, "The rain hasn't stopped yet, isn't it too dangerous?"

Shen Xin thought to himself that there was nothing he could do about the danger; he had caught up with it, and it was time for him, Tian Kui, to make his mark.
