Chapter 84
Shi Pengfei drove a police car and took Tang Qingqing to the police dog team. The police dog team was in the suburbs and it took more than half an hour to drive there.
When they arrived there, there were already more than 20 people standing in the compound. Most of them were wearing police uniforms, and most of them were men.
Tang Qingqing was very surprised: "So many people?"
The Public Security Bureau is far from being fully staffed right now. Both the township police stations and the city police bureau are extremely busy. Tang Qingqing thought that at most two or three people would come over to watch the excitement.
Shi Pengfei said: "Everyone came here because of our reputation. Not only people from our branch, but also people from other branches came here after they found out about it."
"Do they know me?"
"Uncle Xu often mentioned you, and my father had been thinking about you for a long time. Some of the murder cases you solved were very representative and were used as typical examples for internal communication and discussion."
These are actually not enough for people in the city-level public security system thousands of miles away to get to know someone from a small corner. An important factor in Tang Qingqing's fame is that she is too young.
A teenage girl who is just about to go to high school and is not studying criminal investigation actually has such skills. Who wouldn't find it amazing?
However, precisely because of their youth, some people cannot help but doubt its authenticity.
After all, we have just experienced a special period, and everyone knows that some places like to falsify information in order to set an example.
Now that they know Tang Qingqing is here, many people want to find out more and want to know whether this little girl really has this ability.
"Will having so many people here affect your performance?"
Shi Pengfei said with some worry, he didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and this group of people came here just by smelling the scent.
Tang Qingqing was indeed a little nervous, but her rich experience and solid foundation allowed her to adjust her mindset quickly.
She knows that as long as she gets into the right state, it doesn't matter whether there are one person or a hundred people around her.
Her greatest strength is her concentration, but it is also her weakness that can easily put her in danger.
"It doesn't matter. They can't affect me."
As soon as the two of them walked into the compound, everyone's eyes shot over to them, and when they saw Tang Qingqing, they all showed surprise expressions.
They already knew the young man Tang Qingnian, but they didn't expect that she was such a pretty girl.
Even though she was dressed simply and had her hair tied in a ponytail, she looked like someone from a cultural troupe rather than someone who worked in their field.
Currently, most of the people working in criminal investigation are big bosses, and there are women as well, but the proportion is still relatively small.
Most of those lesbians looked fierce and aggressive, although there were some who looked gentler, but they all looked capable of getting things done.
Tang Qingqing is so beautiful and charming, the kind that can be spotted at first sight in a crowd.
Sometimes when the police are catching or tracking down criminals, they need to disguise themselves and blend into the crowd, coming and going without a trace to avoid being discovered by the criminals.
Someone as dazzling as Tang Qingqing is not suitable for this kind of job as she will easily attract attention.
"Is this Comrade Tang Qingqing?" asked a middle-aged policeman.
The youngest person present was in his twenties or nearly thirty years old, and Tang Qingqing greeted them as if they were elders.
"Hello everyone, I'm Tang Qingqing, please take care of me."
An old policeman asked, "Little girl, are you the girl who solves cases by identifying footprints?"
"I think you're talking about me."
"Where did you learn this skill?"
"My master is the code expert Liu Shengyu, and I inherited his legacy. His son Li Kangan was also very powerful, but he was later killed by criminals in revenge."
Tang Qingqing wanted everyone to remember Master's name and let everyone know that such an outstanding person existed.
"When you went to track, did your master follow you?"
Although the person who said this did not have much emotion in his words, the content was not very friendly.
This clearly shows that she is doubting whether she was able to solve the case and gain such fame because of her master.
She is just an assistant, the real hero is the master.
Tang Qingqing was not angry. She started assisting the Public Security Bureau at the age of thirteen, and she looked younger than her actual age at the time. She had no idea how many times she had been questioned.
Especially the criminals or their families, they would never admit their mistakes. When they saw that it was a little girl who caught them, they tried their best to make excuses, trying to eliminate their suspicion by saying that she was too young and was just talking nonsense.
Tang Qingqing has long been accustomed to it. Not only is she not discouraged, but she becomes more and more courageous as she faces more and more setbacks. She wants people to see her true ability and convince those who doubt her. She would find it a little strange if no one doubted her.
"My master only took me once."
Someone wanted to ask something else, but Shi Pengfei interrupted and said:
"If you have anything to say, please wait until after the performance. It's too early to ask now."
The group of people didn't ask any further questions at this point. They all wanted to know if this little girl was really that amazing.
Shi Pengfei led Tang Qingqing towards a row of houses. The twenty or so people waited two meters away to make sure they could keep up without disturbing Tang Qingqing.
Shi Pengfei pointed to a room and said, "It's this room. Someone 'stole' the owner's things. The 'thief' has now escaped."
Tang Qingqing took a look inside. This time the performance was quite attentive and the house was deliberately turned upside down.
"What is missing?"
"A radio and two hundred dollars."
"Where is the original owner of the house?"
Shi Pengfei pointed to a man next to him and said, "He is the owner of the house."
“Does this house usually have people coming in and out?”
The owner shook his head and said, "Very little. This is where I sleep. If we have anything to say, we like to talk in the cafeteria."
Tang Qingqing nodded, walked to the front of the house and observed the ground nearby.
There is a concrete ground in front of this row of houses, about five or six meters wide, and the surrounding area is all mud.
After Tang Qingqing looked around outside the house, she walked into the house and continued to observe carefully.
I followed a group of people who came over to watch, and couldn't see what was going on inside, so I could only wait.
"Aren't you being a bit unfair? This is too difficult," said an old policeman.
Tang Qingqing came from a small place, and the commune was relatively poor. Many places were still made of mud and could not be paved with hard ground.
She often went to the villages below to solve cases, and the conditions on the ground were more suitable for tracking footprints.
But there is a large area of concrete here, so it is very difficult to use footprint tracking.
"Yeah, let alone this little girl, even an experienced detective would have a hard time finding anything."
"Why don't we leave first? If we can't find such a beautiful girl, I'd be embarrassed to cry, but I'm afraid I'll be too depressed to bear it."
Although everyone was curious about Tang Qingqing's abilities and had some doubts in their hearts, they did not want to embarrass a little girl.
Even if we exaggerate, it is not easy for such a beautiful girl to be willing to go out on field work in the snow and scorching heat, so we can't ask for too much.
Some people also thought this made sense and echoed it.
The only female police officer on the field said, "You are too contemptuous of me. You declared failure just after the start."
"Political Commissar Wu, do you think this girl can do it?"
Political Commissar Wu: "Whether she can do it or not is not up to me to decide. It depends on her performance. Since she dared to accept the challenge, she is ready to fail. There is no need for you to be so kind."
"What if she fails and can't handle it?"
"Then teach her how to face reality. Haven't we all been frustrated enough at work? If she wants to make a living, she must have this mentality."
They are criminal police, not gods. Sometimes, due to various restrictions, they are inevitably unable to track down the real culprit for a while.
Sometimes I am completely clueless, and there is pressure from above, and people are also looking forward to the truth, so the pressure is very great.
Some cases are protracted battles that require waiting for several years or even decades until the technology matures before they can be solved.
All of these require regulating one's emotions in order to better complete the work.
If you are devastated after a failure, it only means that you are not suitable for this career.
After Political Commissar Wu said this, everyone was not in a hurry to leave and decided to observe for a while.
Everyone's voices were actually quite loud, and they were all quite close to each other, so the people in the room could vaguely hear what was happening.
But at this time Tang Qingqing heard nothing. She devoted herself to the tracking work, and a walking route map with footprints appeared in her mind.
About twenty minutes later, Tang Qingqing came out of the house and announced her findings:
"This was a crime committed by two people, one in the house and one outside keeping watch. The person in the house was about 1.80 meters tall, about 25 years old, and of medium build. The person outside the house was about 1.73 meters tall, about 22 years old, thin, and walked with his feet turned outward."
The group of people who had a rare half-day of leisure outside fell silent when they heard these words, and all their eyes were on Shi Pengfei.
Shi Pengfei shook his head: "In order to prevent me from accidentally leaking information when I go to pick someone up, the entire arrangement is handled by the police dog team."
Everyone's eyes turned to Captain Gao of the Police Dog Team. Captain Gao was shocked at this time, "She is right."
There was applause from the audience. Those who had thought that Tang Qingqing was impossible to track and wanted to leave first to avoid her failure and embarrassment were now very impressed and ashamed of themselves for underestimating Tang Qingqing.
Tang Qingqing also breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was confident in her tracking technology, she still couldn't help but worry about whether she would be unable to acclimate to the new environment.
Now it seems that this technology is the same no matter where it is used.
At most, there are slight deviations in the details, but the underlying logic is consistent.
As long as you grasp the basics, you can make changes according to local conditions.
Tang Qingqing smiled at everyone, then quickly turned her attention back to tracking the 'escaped criminal'.
At this time, everyone's interest was aroused. While following Tang Qingqing closely, they did not forget to keep a distance.
They saw that Tang Qingqing walked slowly at first, half squatting and observing the ground. Since leaving the concrete floor, her pace suddenly quickened.
Tang Qingqing walked towards the orchard and vegetable field outside. Sometimes she would stop and scan the ground with her eyes. After stopping, Tang Qingqing would run towards the place her eyes were fixed on.
This area is very spacious, and there are many forks in the road.
Tang Qingqing would stop for a while at every fork in the road, and then resolutely run in one direction. She was not confused by the fork in the road and was obviously full of confidence that the 'criminal' was running in that direction.
Someone who was familiar with the captain of the police dog team whispered in the back:
"Did the people you arranged take a detour around this area?"
Captain Gao kept staring at Tang Qingqing, paying special attention to her eyes.
"One of the two people I arranged was a monkey. He deliberately set up a 'bewilderment array' and deliberately took detours in many places, and even ran back and forth. I didn't expect that he didn't fool me at all. This little girl is really amazing. She obviously saw through it and found the correct route from the mess of footprints. Not a single moment of time was wasted."
Tang Qingqing chased for more than three miles and finally stopped in front of a row of houses.
There is a fish pond here, and there is a house near the fish pond, which is used for living when guarding here at night.
Tang Qingqing found the 'lost' radio and two hundred yuan here, but there was no one in the room.
Tang Qingqing took out the "loot" and handed it to Shi Pengfei.
There was another round of enthusiastic applause, and everyone was now convinced of Tang Qingqing's abilities.
"Comrade Tang, you really live up to your reputation!"
The old policeman was very excited. For an old comrade like him, nothing could make him happier than seeing outstanding young people. This meant that their public security force would become stronger and stronger, and criminals would have nowhere to hide.
These old policemen have also studied traceology and have done research on footprints, but they really don't have the ability of Tang Qingqing.
After Tang Qingqing had just left, he went into the crime scene to check it out. There were no clear footprints on the ground. He didn't know how Tang Qingqing could tell that, and she even accurately described the age, height, and body shape one by one.
Political Commissar Wu walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder, expressing his admiration for Tang Qingqing:
"Well done! Let everyone see that we women are just as good as men!"
Tang Qingqing smiled shyly and said, "I haven't caught him yet."
Captain Gao smiled and said, "It's already noon, let's go back and have a meal. In the afternoon, you can find them out from the crowd, how about that?"
Political Commissar Wu frowned: "Captain Gao, why do you have so many things to do?"
Tang Qingqing smiled and said, "It's okay. Now that I'm here, I won't be happy if I don't find the person. Captain Gao has shown mercy to my men. The traces are very clear."
Political Commissar Wu was surprised: "From what you said, this is not too difficult?"
"If it was a real scene, it would be even more chaotic, and some criminals have anti-detection capabilities and would deliberately erase their footprints, which would greatly hinder my work. Captain Gao probably feared that I would not be able to find them, so he did not deliberately clean up the mess."
After Tang Qingqing became famous, she frightened potential criminals and made them afraid to do wrong things. However, there were still some people who refused to give up and continued to commit crimes by being clever.
They will deliberately target Tang Qingqing and clean up the mess in an attempt to evade tracking.
Tang Qingqing battled wits and courage with these people, and also took her tracking ability to a higher level.
This kind of test is relatively simple for Tang Qingqing.
If it was a real scene, Tang Qingqing would need more time to identify it.
Political Commissar Wu: "Where is footwork tracking applicable?"
"As long as people walk on the ground, they will leave traces. Dirt roads, sandy roads, grass, concrete, etc. will all leave traces, but some traces are not easy to find."
"Can smooth surfaces leave traces?"
"If you find the right angle, you can sometimes see it by using the effect of light."
Political Commissar Wu liked Tang Qingqing very much. She was a lesbian, so she always pulled Tang Qingqing close, chatted with her, and asked her how she learned the code.
"Your master just said one sentence, and you stared at the sheep's hoof print for such a long time?"
Political Commissar Wu was very surprised when he heard Tang Qingqing's experience.
How old was Tang Qingqing at that time, yet she was able to calm down.
At that time, I had no idea whether my work would be accepted, but I still completed it with great care. This spirit is really admirable.
"I find it quite interesting myself. Before, when I looked at sheep, I thought they all looked the same and I often couldn't tell which was which. Sometimes I got mixed up with other sheep and didn't even know it. But since I learned the tracking method, I feel that the whole world is clear and everything is unique."
Tang Qingqing didn't need Old Liu to remind her, she started observing the differences in human footprints on her own. She thought it was more interesting than studying sheep.
Sheep have simple minds, so the hoof prints of each sheep do not vary much.
People are different. The same person may walk in different postures depending on his or her mood.
Tang Qingqing always felt that she was very lucky. After her fate was swapped, she was able to do what she liked.
Looking at herself in the book, she is actually passive and confused.
She wanted to study, but her attitude was not that firm, so she joined the art troupe without much resistance.
After all, I still don’t quite know what I want, and I tend to just go with the flow and passively accept everything that others give me.
In the article, she does not think there is anything wrong with this kind of life. Someone has paved a path for you and you can walk on it without much effort.
No matter what storms there are outside, there will always be someone to support her. She just needs to live well in her own little world.
The self in the book is happy, and is very satisfied with everything he has.
But different situations create different people. Tang Qingqing did not intend to criticize such a choice, but she would not choose such a path now.
Now she knows what she wants and is working hard for it.
Although it can be hard at times, it is also a rare experience in life.
The food at the police dog team was good. After the meal, everyone started the second test without taking a break.
Captain Gao walked over and smiled at Tang Qingqing, "You said I was letting you down before, but I'm really going to do it this time."
It's as if there's a knife hidden in that smile, and you can tell at a glance that he has bad intentions.
When the group walked into the courtyard, they couldn't help but frown when they saw the scene inside.
There were at least fifty people in the yard, and it was dark and overwhelming.
The most important thing is that these people are divided into two groups, which exactly corresponds to the appearance that Tang Qingqing described before.
Political Commissar Wu: "Captain Gao, your charisma is truly amazing. You have found so many suitable people in such a short time."
Shi Pengfei couldn't help but say, "It's over."
Captain Gao didn't look at them, but said to Tang Qingqing: "Comrade Xiao Tang, what do you think?"
"Yes, but they are too similar, so it will probably take quite some time. We are all busy, so you may consider whether to continue waiting."
In the end, half of the people stayed.
Today is their day off, so they can come and see the excitement.
It’s just that the police’s rest days are often a lie, and they have to rush to work overtime when an emergency occurs.
Therefore, some people couldn't stay and left.
At this point, they had already confirmed that Tang Qingqing's abilities were just as described in the information, so it didn't matter whether they watched the second game or not.
Tang Qingqing asked them to form groups of five and then walk back and forth in front of her.
Tang Qingqing took out her notebook and pen and started writing and drawing on it. From time to time, she asked some people to stand on the other side, and then continued to let others go.
"I'll find it."
Tang Qingqing closed her little notebook.
Captain Gao: "Who are they?"
Tang Qingqing pointed at one of them and said, "This is the one who entered the house."
Captain Gao frowned slightly, with a strange expression on his face.
"Are you sure it's him? Do you want to take another look?"
"I'm sure it was him."
"Would you like to take another look?"
Tang Qingqing was not fooled by him, and shook her head and said, "No need, it's him."
Captain Gao sighed deeply and shook his head.
Director Wu and Shi Pengfei were both very nervous. Was this a failure?!
"I'm sorry..."
When these words were spoken, many people sighed.
However, everyone felt that Captain Gao was too unethical. He actually found someone with almost the same body shape. This was too confusing, and no one knew where he got this person.
The old policeman didn't leave, and comforted her, "Girl, it's okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
Tang Qingqing pursed her lips. She was wrong? !
She opened her little notebook to check where she had made a mistake, but Captain Gao shouted again:
"Correct answer!"
Everyone was about to encourage Tang Qingqing out of habit, but was staggered by these words.
Shi Pengfei went straight up and punched him, "Captain Gao, Brother Gao, that's enough!"
Captain Gao laughed and gave Tang Qingqing a thumbs up: "I saw him wandering between the two of them, so I thought of tricking her, but she didn't fall for it."
This little episode made everyone believe in Tang Qingqing's ability even more.
If she had wavered a little at that time, she would have been easily fooled and made the wrong choice.
This kind of situation often occurs in investigation work.
Once the wrong choice is made, criminal investigation work will go down the wrong path, wasting a lot of manpower and resources, and it is possible that the criminal will never be caught.
Political Commissar Wu also breathed a sigh of relief and asked curiously, "Is there another person taking a walk?"
Tang Qingqing shook her head: "That person is not among these people."
Political Commissar Wu looked at Captain Gao. Captain Gao did not deliberately deceive anyone this time and readily admitted:
"Yes, that person is not here."
Political Commissar Wu was very impressed with Captain Gao: "Captain Gao, you actually came up with this trick."
Captain Gao smiled and said, "Since we are going to test it, we have to let everyone see our true abilities. Besides, the scene is often more complicated."
Now, everyone was convinced by Tang Qingqing.
"Comrade Xiao Tang, can you summarize your experience? Let more people learn this technology."
"I have some notes and summaries here. If you are interested, you can copy them or photocopy them."
Everyone was very happy to hear that she was still in high school, and they all said:
"Xiao Tang, you can't waste your talent. Our public security system needs talents like you."
Tang Qingqing agreed to all of them and promised that she would definitely apply to the People's Public Security University when she took the college entrance examination.
When she was about to leave, Tang Qingqing suddenly stopped and pointed at a person in the crowd and said:
"Captain Gao, that man is the 'criminal' who let out the warning, right?"
Captain Gao was completely convinced by her. He was able to recognize her just by taking a glance at her in the crowd.
This time he really didn't test her on purpose, but the man was curious and wanted to come over to see what such a capable girl looked like, so he mixed in with the crowd.
Captain Gao always admires talented people, so he promised Tang Qingqing:
"I just noticed that you are very interested in police dogs. If you are interested in adopting one, or if there are police dogs that need a place to go after being eliminated from training or retired, I will notify you first!"
