I Play Dungeons in the Police Station-Chapter 417 - 253: Blood Trail Tracking, Meiqiu Arrives
"Captain Qiu, we need to continue recovering the victim’s body. Keep searching downstream along the river."
Li Xiang looked at the calm river surface and suddenly asked, "By the way, do we have any police dogs trained to search for blood traces?"
Upon hearing Li Xiang’s question, Qiu Cang showed a troubled expression and said, "Our police dog base is still in the exploration stage for blood trace searching. Currently, no police dog can perform such searches."
Searching for blood traces is an upgrade over scent searching, further increasing the training difficulty.
It’s not simply about finding traces of blood on the ground; such a search would be considered successful.
His success criteria are stringent; a drop of blood, diluted by tens of thousands of times, should be identifiable. That’s just the entry level.
It’s said there is a "Dog King" in blood trace searching that can recognize a drop of blood dripped onto a screw cap, which is then thrown into a reservoir containing 876 tons of water. On the second day, a drop of water is extracted from the reservoir and dripped into a bottle of mineral water. On the third day, a drop from the mineral water is dripped into another bottle, and so on, until the 613th bottle of mineral water, it can still identify the blood scent with just one sniff.
It’s simply incredible.
A drop of blood diluted by two quadrillion times can still be accurately identified as the bottle with a trace of blood scent.
This level belongs to the realm of extraordinary talent; even a dog that’s used cheats, like Coal Ball, can’t reach this degree.
"If only I had brought Coal Ball." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Seeing that there are no police dogs adept at blood tracing here, Li Xiang suddenly missed Coal Ball.
"Captain Li, should I go back to get it?"
Yang Ming had seen Coal Ball abroad and really liked the clever little black dog. Hearing Li Xiang mention it might be skilled in blood trace searching.
It’s one thing for the owner to be amazing, but unexpectedly, the pet is just as remarkable.
Truly embracing the saying, similar creatures group together, similar people gather.
Therefore: Li Xiang = dog?
Yang Ming shook his head, hurriedly discarding such unrealistic thoughts.
"No need, I’ll have my wife send it!"
Considering it would take a lot of time for Yang Ming to go back and return, Li Xiang decided to ask Lin Feifei to bring the dog over, halving the time required.
"Coal Ball? Is it a police dog?"
Standing beside Li Xiang, Qiu Cang overheard their conversation and understood they were referring to a police dog.
Could it learn blood trace searching?
Being born into privilege truly shows, even the pets are adept at blood trace searching. Their extensive police dog base hasn’t managed to develop a blood trace search-specialized dog.
And yet, someone else’s random pet possesses such unique skills; it’s truly exasperating.
Li Xiang called Lin Feifei and explained the situation.
Lin Feifei was also busy but regarded any matter related to Li Xiang as of paramount importance.
Using Coal Ball indicated this case was quite challenging.
Not daring to delay, she quickly had Xiao Ai drive and deliver Coal Ball to Longhai.
It was three hours later when Coal Ball was received.
As soon as the car door opened, Coal Ball jumped down, transforming into a dark shadow, rapidly running toward Li Xiang.
"Hehe, Coal Ball’s here."
Upon hearing Yang Ming, Qiu Cang realized the black dog wagging its tail and acting cute in Li Xiang’s arms was Coal Ball.
Completely black, the name Coal Ball was certainly fitting.
However...
They needed a police dog, specifically a rare one knowledgeable in blood trace searching, not just any dog.
Yet, this dog had been lucky in its reincarnation, attaching itself to a privileged owner, reaching the peak of dog life.
"Coal Ball, long time no work; have you gotten rusty? If you fail this time, additional practice awaits at home."
"Woof."
Initially, there was hope around Li Xiang, believing he had enough influence to bring a police dog skilled at blood tracking. Unexpectedly, the police dog that came was based on connections, not skills. Given the urgency of the case, Qiu Cang became impatient and returned to the task force for further work.
"Captain Li, it seems Qiu Cang doesn’t quite trust us, huh?"
As Qiu Cang left, Yang Ming pouted in disdain, visibly upset over Qiu Cang’s disregard.
Especially disrespecting Li Xiang, which he couldn’t tolerate the most.
"Let it go; we’re young, he’s just envious of our handsomeness."
"Hah, true indeed."
"Alright, I’ll first take Coal Ball along Xiangshui River and see if we can find the dumping site."
"Captain Li, Qiu Cang mentioned it rained half a month ago, can Coal Ball still find anything?"
Yang Ming was a bit worried; if the traces were washed away by the rain and Coal Ball couldn’t find anything, they would unquestionably be mocked behind their backs by Qiu Cang’s team.
"Not a big deal; even if it rains again, as long as the killer did dump the body within this stretch."
"So, Captain Li, can I take Coal Ball to track it? I really like Coal Ball."
"Sure, then you go ahead; I’ll rest in the car."
With someone eager to work, Li Xiang was happy to take a break.
Time passed quickly, Li Xiang had dozed off in the car, and it had gotten dark.
Yang Ming knocked on the car window, "Captain Li, it’s dark now; shall we call it a day?"
"Hmm, how’s the search going?"
"It’s not finished; we’re going slowly to be thorough."
"Thorough is good; haste leads to oversight, let’s leave it for today."
Li Xiang, upon retrieving his phone, realized Qiu Cang had called him an hour ago but he had silenced the phone prepping for a nap.
Returning the call, he learned Qiu Cang was asking about returning to have dinner together, and had also cleaned out a dorm for them.
