Animal Detective

Chapter 366 Donya

With a yellow dog on his left and a falcon on his right, Shen Xin galloped away, feeling a surge of youthful exuberance in his heart.

That surge of emotion welled up in my throat, and I couldn't help but want to shout it out.

But before he could shout it out, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him.

Shen Xin glanced back hastily and saw that someone on horseback was chasing after them.

As Zhang Qifeng just said, if you want to stop, you have to slowly tighten the reins.

But when it came to actually doing it, Shen Xin found that it was not an easy task.

Zhang Qifeng, standing behind him, casually pulled on the reins, slowing down the speed slightly.

With the rapid sound of horses' hooves, the approaching figure had already caught up.

"Sainbainu, instructor!"

The newcomer was a young woman, riding a black steed. She held the reins in her left hand and placed her right hand in front of her chest, nodding slightly in greeting.

He maintained his speed while bowing, demonstrating his superb horsemanship.

"Donya, what's wrong? Is something the matter?"

Zhang Qifeng sized up the newcomer.

The girl wore a peacock blue Mongolian robe, with a red belt around her waist, and a thick braid combed to the side.

She had yellowish skin and freckles on her face, but her features were very beautiful. She wore a simple turquoise headband on her forehead and was the most beautiful girl in Chabuqiri Gacha. People who wanted to marry her practically wore down her doorstep.

Donya didn't rush to speak. She glanced at Shen Xin, who had run far away, and asked him curiously if he was a tourist, saying that he had already run far away.

Zhang Qifeng then noticed that Shen Xin was running further and further away. He cursed inwardly and quickly spurred his horse to chase after him.

But Donya was faster; she whipped her horse, and her black horse immediately overtook Zhang Qifeng and his companion.

In an instant, it caught up with Shen Xin from behind.

At this moment, Shen Xingang figured out the force of tightening the reins and controlled Delun to slowly slow down and stop.

Accompanied by the rapid sound of hooves, Donya stopped in front of Shen Xin's left.

With one hand reining in the horse, the steed swayed slightly to the side and turned gracefully to face Shen Xin.

"Sainbainu!"

She nodded and greeted them.

"Sai... what?" Shen Xin was stunned.

Donia smiled and said, "It means you're nice to me."

Shen Xin suddenly realized and quickly replied, "Hello."

Only then did he have a moment to observe the newcomer.

A girl with a very defined jawline, riding a tall horse, exuding a cool and dashing aura.

Just as Shen Xin was about to ask who she was, Zhang Qifeng and Liao Lei caught up with him.

"Shen Xin, are you alright?"

Zhang Qifeng asked with concern.

Shen Xin shook his head, then asked Zhang Qifeng in confusion why the horse didn't stop when he had shouted "Whoa!"

Before Zhang Qifeng could explain, Donya burst into a loud, bell-like laugh and said, "Handsome, in our grasslands, horses grow up from a young age and don't learn commands like you're talking about. Besides, we rely on this."

She tugged on the reins and then flicked the whip in her hand.

"I said so."

Shen Xin suddenly realized that he had been shouting in a foreign language all along.

"By the way, who are you?" Shen Xincai suddenly remembered to ask the girl's name.

The girl gracefully touched her chest and smiled, saying, "My name is Donya."

Shen Xin nodded in response: "Hello, my name is Shen Xin, I'm from Nanjiang."

"Nanjiang?"

Donya's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Is it Nanjiang, the one who puts sugar in his noodles?"

Shen Xin gasped and explained, "Actually, we don't usually release them."

I only take it off occasionally.

Donya looked like she understood, and then asked, "Do you put sugar in your steamed buns too?"

Shen Xin realized there was a significant misunderstanding and explained, "It's not about adding sugar; it's mainly to enhance the flavor. It's not as exaggerated as some people online are saying."

Donya said "oh" and was about to ask another question when Zhang Qifeng interrupted her and asked what was wrong.

Donya then remembered the important matter and hurriedly said, "Instructor, Hongul is lost. Father won't let me look for it, saying that Hongul is the horse that the Eternal Heaven likes and will leave sooner or later."

"But I've raised him for so many years, I can't bear to part with him, instructor, can you help me find him?"

Upon hearing that the horse was lost, Zhang Qifeng's expression became more serious.

On the grasslands, a large part of their job is to help herders find their missing livestock.

However, they still needed to find Tianxiong, and there was no one else available, so Zhang Qifeng first asked her when she lost it.

Donya said, "It must have happened at night. I didn't see it when I woke up this morning. You know Hongul, we usually don't leash it, but it ran away on its own today. I think it might be in heat."

May is normally the month when horses begin their estrus cycle.

Zhang Qifeng hesitated for a moment, then said, "How about I ask in the group first to see if anyone has seen your horse? We have something to do now, we need to go find Tianxiong."

"Tianxiong?"

Donya raised an eyebrow and hurriedly asked if Tianxiong had been found yet.

Zhang Qifeng shook his head in distress and pointed at Shen Xin, saying, "Well, there's no other way. We even invited Officer Shen from Nanjiang. Tianxiong was trained by him. We asked him to come and help us find him."

Donya was taken aback and looked at Shen Xin with surprise, saying, "Are you a police officer too? And Tianxiong, that obedient police dog, did you train it?"

"Is this also a police dog?"

She looked at Tian Kui next to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin nodded and gestured for Tian Kui to greet Donya.

Tian Kui immediately called out.

"Wow, he's just as smart as Tianxiong." Donya's eyes lit up as she stared intently at Tiankui. "I also had a dog when I was little. It was a very smart sheepdog."

"In the end, he was killed by wolves, and I never raised dogs again, but I especially love dogs, especially Tianxiong, he was so smart."

As she spoke, she gracefully dismounted and knelt down in front of Tian Kui to greet him.

He also casually pulled a strip of beef from his Mongolian robe and handed it to Tiankui to eat.

Tian Kui didn't answer, and turned to look at Shen Xin.

"Eat, eat."

This foodie.

Tian Kui then accepted it.

Donya was even more excited, pointing at Tiankui and saying, "He's really smart. I feel like he and Tianxiong can understand what we're saying."

“Of course,” Liao Lei interjected, “Donya, do you know that Tiankui is a national first-class meritorious dog? He saved more than a dozen people in the landslide. He’s a hero dog. There are videos of him online.”

"really?"

Donya looked incredulous and quickly took out her phone to search.

Shen Xin stopped her and said to Zhang Qifeng, "Instructor Zhang, why don't you come along for a while..."

"Donya." Donya quickly repeated her name.

Shen Xin said, "Yes, Instructor Zhang, you go with Donya to find the horses. Liao Lei and I will go over here. There are wolves on the grassland, so we don't want anything to happen."

Before Zhang Qifeng could speak, Donya shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry. Hongguer is very strong, he's not afraid of wolves."

After saying that, he added, "I'll go with you to find Tianxiong; he's been missing for several days now."

Zhang Qifeng was worried about Shen Xin and Liao Lei acting alone, and said, "Donya, let me ask in the group first."

If Tianxiong is available, you can ask him to help you find it.

When Tianxiong wasn't around, they would ask around, mobilize the grid workers, and wait for news before going to look for him. As he spoke, he took out his phone and sent messages to several groups.

Donya's horse is very famous; many people know it, so he thought it should be easy to find.

Donya followed the group directly.

Zhang Qifeng let her have her way, telling her that she could immediately inform anyone in the group if they had any news.

Donya was an excellent rider; she could ride her horse while simultaneously pulling out her phone to search for Tiankui's videos.

It's everywhere online.

Seeing Tian Kui running wildly through the night with his police lights on, saving many lives, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Officer Shen, were you there too? I saw you!"

Shen Xin simply nodded hastily, his attention entirely focused on Delun, not daring to be distracted.

The group rode their horses westward, crossing streams, and stopped after about half an hour.

I estimate they ran about 10 or 20 kilometers.

"This is it."

Zhang Qifeng reined in his horse and pointed downwards.

Shen Xin glanced at it and could still see the haphazardly trampled marks on the grass.

There were also signs of digging nearby, which meant that the wolf's carcass was buried there.

Then, heading north, they chased for another kilometer or so, until they reached the place where Lakshin was discovered.

Shen Xin dismounted and led Tian Kui forward to examine him.

There were still traces of a struggle at the scene, and traces of blood could still be faintly seen.

"Tian Kui, can you smell Tian Xiong's scent?" Shen Xin asked.

Four days have passed.

Then there are grasslands, where the terrain is open and the smells will dissipate more strongly.

A positive factor is that it snowed on the day of the incident, and then it didn't rain or snow again.

Moreover, the bloodstains left from the fight make the scent easier to track.

Tian Kui called out.

【Have】

There are other smells as well.

He could clearly smell the wolf.

Shen Xin said, "That's a wolf. Remember its scent and chase it."

Tian Kui darted out quickly.

Shen Xin immediately mounted his horse and followed.

Zhang Qifeng's eyes lit up, thinking to himself that inviting Shen Xin was the right decision.

Donya was also excited and pointed at Tiankui, asking if this would help her find Tianxiong.

Shen Xin glanced at Zhang Qifeng and said, "It should be possible."

He said he could, but deep down, Shen Xin still held the same judgment as before.

Tianxiong is probably in trouble.

He is a close relative; if he were still alive, he would have sought help from humans long ago within four days.

Tian Kui first heads north.

At first, although there was a long interval, Tiankui's speed was still acceptable, probably because of the large amount of blood loss.

He first went north, and then west.

The overall trajectory, as Zhang Qifeng said, was the route he had previously found using helmet positioning.

After chasing for about three or four kilometers, Zhang Qifeng pointed to the ground and said that this was the last place where the helmet was found.

If Tiankui hasn't lost his scent yet, then keep chasing him.

At this point, the overall direction is still westward, but it begins to shift southward.

Moreover, it doesn't just rush headlong in one direction; it can also turn around and change direction.

It seems that Tianxiong is still entangled with this wolf.

"That wretched wolf!" Donya exclaimed angrily.

By this point, the cell phone signal was very weak, and we had reverted to a 2G network.

The PDA was fine, and with the satellite signal, Shen Xin and Zhang Qifeng searched while comparing the map and location.

Zhang Qifeng looked annoyed: "I knew Tianxiong had run out of our jurisdiction."

Based on their current location, the group has left the jurisdiction of the police station.

It's not surprising that Shen Xin escaped outside the jurisdiction via the secret passage.

Furthermore, while searching, they also contacted nearby jurisdictions to help with the search.

If no one has noticed, then my deduction is still correct.

At this point, the overall direction begins to shift south.

After chasing for about eight or nine kilometers, Tiankui started spinning in circles.

From his inner voice, one could also hear that he had lost his essence.

Shen Xin looked around.

It stretched as far as the eye could see, and it seemed like nothing had changed.

Shen Xin noticed that the soil on the ground was too damp and asked Zhang Qifeng if it had rained there.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Qifeng frowned and said that the climate on the grassland is very changeable, especially during the transition from spring to summer, when air activity is intense and snow, heavy rain, and hail are common.

That's it.

Shen Xin secretly believed that a localized heavy rain must have washed away the remaining bloodstains, which was why Tian Kui had lost his scent.

Without Shen Xin's reminder, Tian Kui had already expanded the search area on his own, looking in all directions.

It would be best if it could be continued.

If we can't continue, then in this vast grassland, without knowing the direction, there's no way to find it.

After searching for a while, Tian Kui returned dejectedly and called out to Shen Xin twice.

【No】

"Didn't find it?" Donya was even more anxious than Zhang Qifeng.

Shen Xin nodded slightly, signaling the four people to split up and each search in a different direction.

"We need to find him alive or dead. We've already tracked him down this far, so let's keep searching," Shen Xin said in a deep voice, giving Zhang Qifeng a heads-up.

Zhang Qifeng, recognizing the music, changed his expression drastically, chose a direction, and began searching in silence.

Even after running a long distance, you can still hear his voice calling out to Tianxiong echoing across the grassland.

"Be careful," Donya reminded Shen Xin, and quickly chose a direction to chase after them.

Shen Xin, along with Tian Kui, set off immediately.

First, check within a five-kilometer radius to see if you can continue the scent.

Shen Xin didn't want to prepare for the worst, but all signs indicated that Tianxiong was in trouble.

Unable to resist, Shen Xin also called out "Tianxiong" towards the vast grassland.

Where did that bastard go?!

At that very moment, heading east, dozens of kilometers east of Wugai Banner, a head peeked out from the ditch beside the roadbed.

That's Tianxiong.

The wise eyes were fixed on the car approaching from a distance.
