Chapter 14 second quarter

After two o'clock in the afternoon on November 1st, Akihiko Honda came to Hakodate. Honda also brought three shepherds, all three young people knew Gero. In the morning, he received a call from his friend Bei Shou Shuzhong.Honda also just learned from the newspaper that Gero was still alive.When he received Beishou's call, he had already ordered a small plane. — Got to go and get Gero back. Honda feels it has a responsibility to do so.Thanks to Gero, two brown bears, which specialize in poaching livestock, were eliminated.Bei Shou's distraught look when he heard the news of Ge Luo's disappearance still remains in his mind.From the standpoint of Beishou who regards Gero as a member of the family, this is not unreasonable.

In fact, Honda has not stopped looking for Gro.Not only in Zhongbiaojin Town, but even in distant towns and villages, he posted advertisements asking people to find them for him.But no news anywhere.He didn't forget about it, but he gave up.Bei Shou said that after he recovers from his injuries, he will take a long vacation to visit Gero in Hokkaido.He thought he could just wait until then. ——This time, Gero must be brought back! He made up his mind. Honda doesn't like dogs very much, but he can't help shedding a few tears for Gero's behavior.It actually loves its hometown so much!

Gero went all the way south half dead, met a homeless man on the way, and arrived in Hakodate with life and death.There, its friend was killed, and it became a lonely dog ​​again. Honda decided to stretch out his warm hands to pick up Gero and send it to Beishou himself. As soon as he arrived in Hakodate, Honda rushed to the police station to inquire about the situation. After listening to the introduction of the police department that undertook the case, the other party asked him to go to the Hakodate Hotel to find An Gao police. He came to the hotel. An Gao was waiting for him. Appearing in front of him was a man in his fifties with a kind face. His slightly fat body looked neither gentle nor majestic.

"Thank you." An Gao nodded to him and said, "I'm not directly in charge of this kind of murder. To be honest, I'm very interested in that dog. I don't know why I really want to see that dog that looks like an Alaskan wolf. Gro..." An Gao explained with a wry smile. "yes?" Honda was relieved when he heard that.The policeman just now suddenly asked him to go to the criminal officer of the Sapporo Central Bureau of the Hokkaido Police. He thought something had happened. Honda made a long explanation. After listening to Honda's narration, An Gao's eyes flashed brightly.

"What a precious dog." An Gao said something seriously. The preciousness he speaks of has two meanings.One means that Gero is a good dog and has a high value.The second means that it is the only witness of the case. Although the Hakodate Bureau spent a lot of effort, the murderer was not arrested.Not to mention the arrest, I haven't even seen a shadow yet. —Find Gro! Although the command system is different, An Gao still issued this order through the headquarters.The immediate priority is to find Gero. As for the murderer, sooner or later he will hit the emergency warning network in southern Hokkaido.At that point, Gro works.Let it sniff the shoes left by the murderer, no, as long as it stands near the murderer, it can recognize people.Gero is the wanderer who almost died and drove all the way to Hakodate. Groo will not fail to recognize the murderer who killed his partner in front of him.

"The police are also doing their best to search for Gero. So far, no clues have been found. Your support is very important because you and Gero know each other." An Gao added this sentence after introducing the situation. "Then I take my leave." Honda stood up and nodded at An Gao. "We will find it, and I will contact you when we find it." "Then please. Oh, by the way, do you go to the police station to borrow a walkie-talkie? If the police find Gro, you have to come." "OK." Honda walked out of Anko's room. He went to the police station to borrow a walkie-talkie, and the four of them rented a car and searched separately in the streets and alleys.

Honda - until the evening.The streets of Hakodate City are not very complicated. Honda found the alleys from the main streets, and then the main streets from the alleys. After searching around carefully, he found nothing. At night, the four returned to the Hakodate Hotel.An Gao also discussed the plan with them. "Could Gero have escaped from Hakodate and headed towards the mountains?" An Gao was worried. "I don't think there is such a possibility. Gro's friend was killed, maybe it has fallen into a mental state of distrust of human beings, if this is the case, then it is more likely to run into the mountains than stay in the city..."

Honda presumably fell silent at this point. "how?" "Gro's friend died, and he didn't know this was the end of their hike. So..." "You mean it might leave Hakodate and continue south?" An Gao glanced at Honda in a daze.If Gero hadn't known that Hakodate was the end of their trek and had continued south, it would have run towards the tip of the peninsula, Kameda or Matsumae. "I miscalculated." An Gao said with a wry smile, "I always thought this was the end point. Well, I'll contact the local police stations immediately."

An Gao stood up and grabbed the phone. Before he could dial, the phone rang. An Gao just said "it's me" and listened silently. "Time of arrival?" An Gao asked. "I want a helicopter, I'll go there myself." After speaking, he put down the phone. An Gao returned to the chair with an anxious expression on his face. "They say Gro took the ferry." "What, Gero got on the Seikan Ferry?" Honda couldn't sit still for some reason. "I heard that the ferry arrived in Aomori at nine o'clock." An Gao looked at his watch, it was 8:40.It's only about twenty minutes away from the ferry to the port.

"Could you please go to Aomori with me? It would be bad if we lose him again." "That's natural, but at this time..." "The Taoist police have contacted Aomori and asked them to send a police officer who loves dogs to protect Gero." "yes?" "Also," An Gao stood up and prepared to leave, "I heard that Gero slipped up with the passengers. Needless to say, someone must have told the crew. The crew searched and found that they were behind the machine on the rear deck Spotted it. They tried to catch it, but it had a horrible bared tooth..."

An Gao laughed when he said this.There is no precedent for a dog to be on a boat alone, and there are certainly no applicable laws.I heard that the crew has made an agreement to ignore it for the time being and let it disembark by itself in Aomori.Half-jokingly, the ship's radio operator reported a dog traveling without a ticket to the Harbor Bureau, and the Harbor Bureau reported the situation to the police station. An Gao smiled and suddenly restrained himself.Did Gero get on the boat inadvertently among the crowd, or did he just instinctively know that the boat was bound for Aomori?He suddenly felt a nervous agitation, as if something was urging him to realize that this was an animal's strong pursuit of life.
