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.
唐青青朝着大家笑了笑，很快又收回注意力，開始追蹤‘逃跑的罪犯’。
此時大家的興致都被調動起來，在緊跟着唐青青的情況下，又不忘保持距離。
他們看到唐青青一開始走得還比較慢，一直半蹲着觀察地面，自從離開了水泥地，腳步一下就加快了。
唐青青朝着外面的果園和菜地走去，有時候她會停下來，目光在地面上掃來掃去，停下來之後唐青青就朝着視線盯着的地方跑去。
這片地方非常寬敞，而且進入還有不少岔路口。
唐青青每次在岔路口都會停下來一會，然後就毅然決然地朝着一個方向奔去，并未因為岔路口感到迷惑，明顯充滿了信心，‘罪犯’就是往那個方向跑的。
有那跟警犬隊隊長熟悉的，在後面低聲問道：
“你們安排的人是不是在這片地方繞路了？”
高隊長一直盯着唐青青，尤其注意她的眼神。
“我安排的那兩個人，其中一個猴精，特意布下‘迷魂陣’，在很多地方故意繞路，還來回跑。沒想到完全沒有忽悠上，這小姑娘真是了不得，她明顯看出來了，還從亂七八糟的腳印裏，找出了正确的路線，一點時間都沒有浪費掉。”
唐青青一路追趕了三裏多地，最終在一排房子面前停下。
這裏有個魚塘，魚塘附近有一間房屋，用于晚上在這看守時居住的。
唐青青在這裏翻出‘丢失’的收音機和兩百塊錢，但是屋子裏已經沒人了。
唐青青将‘贓物’拿出來，交到石鵬飛的手裏。
又是一陣激烈的掌聲，大家夥現在對唐青青的本事是心服口服。
“唐同志，你果然名不虛傳啊！”
老公安很是興奮，對于他這種老同志來說，沒有比看到優秀的年輕人更讓人高興的了，這意味着他們公安隊伍會越來越強大，罪犯無處遁形。
他們這些老公安也是學過痕跡學的，對于足跡也是有研究的，但是還真沒有唐青青這本事。
唐青青剛才離開以後，他進到案發現場查看了一番，地面上根本沒有清晰的腳印，也不知道唐青青是怎麽看出來的，還精準地将年齡身高體态等一一說清楚。
吳政委走上前拍拍她的肩膀，對唐青青非常地欣賞：
“好樣的！也讓大家瞧瞧，咱們巾帼不讓須眉！”
唐青青腼腆地笑了笑，道：“我還沒有把人給抓到呢。”
高隊長笑道：“現在已經中午了，咱們先回去吃個飯。下午的時候，你再從人群中把他們給找出來，怎麽樣？”
吳政委皺眉：“高隊長，你的事怎麽這麽多啊！”
唐青青笑道：“沒事，來都來了，不把人揪出來，我心裏也不痛快。高隊長已經對我手下留情了，足跡都非常明晰。”
吳政委詫異：“聽你這意思，這難度還不算高的？”
“如果是真實的現場會更加混亂，而且一些罪犯還具有反偵察能力，會刻意抹除掉足跡，會給我的工作帶來極大的阻礙。高隊長估計怕我找不出來，所以沒有刻意掃尾。”
唐青青出名之後，震懾潛在罪犯，讓他們不敢腦子發昏幹做錯事的同時，依然有一些不死心的人，耍一些小聰明繼續犯罪。
他們會刻意針對唐青青，進行掃尾工作，試圖逃避追蹤。
唐青青跟這些人鬥智鬥勇，也讓自己的追蹤本事更上一層樓。
這樣的測試，對于唐青青來說還算比較簡單的。
如果是真實的現場，唐青青需要更多的時間，才能進行辨別。
吳政委：“步法追蹤适用于什麽地方？”
“人只要在地上行走，就會留下痕跡。土路、沙子路、草地、水泥地等等，都會留下痕跡，只是有些痕跡不容易被發現。”
“光滑的地面也能留下痕跡？”
“如果找到适合的角度，利用光的作用有時候也是能看出來的。”
吳政委很喜歡唐青青，她又是個女同志，一直親昵地拉着唐青青，跟她聊天，詢問她是如何學習碼蹤的。
“你師父就說了這麽一句話，你就盯着羊蹄印看了這麽長時間？”
吳政委聽到唐青青的經歷，很是驚訝。
當時唐青青才多大啊，竟然就能穩下心。
那時候完全不知道自己是否會被收下，依然極為用心地完成，這精神很是令人佩服。
“我自己也覺得挺有趣的，以前我看羊，都覺得它們長得都差不多，經常分不出來哪只是哪只，有時候跟別的大隊弄混了都不知道，可自從學了碼蹤，就覺得整個世界都清晰的，每一樣東西都是獨一無二的。”
唐青青不需要老劉頭叮囑，她自己就開始觀察人腳印的不同，她覺得比研究羊還有意思。
羊的心思比較簡單，所以每只羊的羊蹄印變化不大。
人就不一樣了，同一個人不同的心情，走路的姿勢都是有差別的。
唐青青一直覺得自己很幸運，命運被交換以後，竟然能從事自己喜歡做的事。
看書上的那個自己，她整個人其實是被動和迷茫的。
她想要讀書，但是态度并沒有那麽堅決，因此也沒有怎麽反抗就進了文工團。
說到底，還是不太清楚自己想要什麽，更多的還是随波逐流，被動地接受別人給予自己的一切。
在文中她并不覺得這樣的生活有什麽不好，有人為自己鋪好的路，不用費什麽勁就能走過去。
不管外頭有什麽風浪，都有人為自己撐起一片天，她只需要在自己的小世界裏好好活着就行。
書中的自己是幸福的，對于那個自己，很滿足所擁有的一切。
但是不同的境遇造就了不同的人，唐青青并沒有打算對這樣的選擇進行批判，但是現在的她是不會選擇這樣的道路的。
現在的她更清楚自己要什麽，也在為之而努力。
雖然有時候會很辛苦，卻也是人生中難得的體驗。
警犬隊的飯菜不錯，一行人吃飽了飯，沒休息就開始第二場測試。
高隊長走過來，朝着唐青青笑道：“你之前說我放水，我這次就要來真的了。”
這笑容裏宛若藏了刀，一瞧就是不懷好意。
一行人走到大院裏，看到院子裏的景象，都不由皺起眉頭。
院子裏至少有五十多號人，黑壓壓一片。
最關鍵的是，這些人分成了兩批，正好跟唐青青之前所說的樣貌對應上。
吳政委：“高隊長，你這號召力可真是厲害，這麽短的時間裏就找到這麽多相符合的人。”
石鵬飛也不禁道：“過了啊。”
高隊長沒看他倆，而是朝着唐青青道：“小唐同志，你覺得怎麽樣？”
“可以，不過他們相似度太高，估計會花費不少時間。大家都比較忙，可以考慮要不要繼續等。”
最終，一半的人留下來了。
今天本來就是他們的休息日，所以才能過來看熱鬧。
只不過公安的休息日經常是忽悠人的，一遇到突發事件就得趕去加班。
因此，有些人待不住就走了。
他們此時已經肯定了唐青青的本領如同資料裏所說的一樣，第二場看不看也沒什麽影響。
唐青青讓他們五人一組，然後在自己的面前一塊來回走。
唐青青拿出自己的本子和筆在上面又寫又畫，時不時讓一些人站到另一邊，然後繼續讓別人走。
“我找出來。”
唐青青将自己的小本子給合上。
高隊長：“是哪兩個人？”
唐青青指着其中一個人，道：“這個就是那個進了屋子的。”
高隊長眉頭微皺，表情有些古怪。
“你确定是他嗎？要不要再看看。”
“我确定是他。”
“你要不再看一看？”
唐青青沒有被他蠱惑，搖搖頭道：“不用了，就是他。”
高隊長深深嘆一口氣，還一邊搖頭。
吳局和石鵬飛的心都提了起來，這是，失敗了？！
“很遺憾……”
這話一出，很多人很是唏噓。
不過大家更多覺得高隊長太缺德了，竟然找了身形都差不多一樣的人，這太迷惑人了，也不知道他哪裏調過來的。
那個老公安沒走，安慰道：“丫頭，沒事，誰都有弄錯的時候。”
唐青青抿唇，竟然是錯的？！
她翻開自己的小本子，想要查看自己哪裏弄錯了，高隊長又高聲嚷道：
“回答正确！”
大家剛習慣性想給唐青青鼓勵，就被這話弄了個踉跄。
石鵬飛直接上前給了他一拳，“高隊長，高哥，你也是夠了！”
高隊長哈哈笑了起來，朝着唐青青豎起大拇指：“我看他在兩個人中間徘徊，就想着要詐一詐她，結果竟然沒上當。”
這麽個小插曲，讓大家更加相信唐青青的本事。
若當時她稍微有動搖，那麽很容易被忽悠到，就去做了錯誤的選擇。
這樣的情況在偵查工作中，也是會時常發生的。
一旦選錯，刑偵工作就将進入一個錯誤的路線中去，浪費很多人力物力，還有可能再也抓不到罪犯。
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!"
