Chapter 17 Section 3

A familiar scene appeared in front of my eyes.Although people often have the feeling of déjà vu where they don't know where they have seen it, but they can't remember it at all, but my current situation seems to be a bit different from that. It's not that I don't know where I've seen it before, but that the exact same scene as in my previous topic appeared. The scene where the child was chased by wild dogs and ran towards us. The experience of being attacked by wild dogs with Xiaozi was more than ten years ago.After that, I went to middle school, high school, university, society, and job. I haven’t even seen a wild dog in the past ten years.

However, no matter how the times progress, as long as the dog is not extinct like the smallpox virus, wild dogs will continue to appear.As long as there are wild dogs, there will inevitably be aggressive wild dogs.And as long as aggressive wild dogs continue to exist, there will naturally be children attacked by wild dogs.It's a natural cycle.However, the situation this time is a bit different from the situation ten years ago.Although the situation in which the child was attacked was exactly the same as I remembered, but fortunately there were adults around. The child who was being chased seemed to be only in the first or second grade of elementary school, but he was wearing a multi-layered shirt pretending to be an adult, and was running around while screaming or roaring.And the dog that was chasing after him looked like a Shiba Inu, as rumored.As for the body shape, just as Azusa said, it might look like a giant to a child, but to me it is just a medium-sized dog.

"Mr. Konya!" Watanabe yelled.This call called back my three souls and seven souls. I didn't expect to encounter the situation in my memory, which made me feel a little unreal. I pulled out the towel tied to my jeans, twisted the two into one, held one end in my left hand, and rolled the rest around my left arm. Watanabe waved at the crying and fleeing children. "Come here quickly!" Maybe it was because he finally saw someone he knew, the child cried louder and ran towards us.The wild dogs were still chasing after him.I raised my right hand and slammed the rubber ball onto the asphalt.

Fortunately, the dog's habits have not changed.His attention was immediately attracted by the rubber ball bouncing so high, and his speed slowed down.When I found that Watanabe and the child behind me had escaped, I hurriedly reminded loudly: "Call the health center immediately!" At the same time, I also found that my body was not in control, but my voice was still coming out, which is incredible. The dog also looked up at this time, and met my eyes.I remember someone said before that you should not make eye contact with dogs, because dogs will go crazy as long as they meet the eyes of humans.I remember there is another saying that if you accidentally meet the eyes of a dog, you must not take the initiative to look away, otherwise the dog will think that it has won, and it will be even more smug.

So I stared at the wild dog vigorously, absolutely not letting it think that it won and attack easily.The wild dogs didn't bark, they just whined in a low voice as a threat. In fact, both my feet were shaking.Because I have never encountered such a vicious threat, it is natural to be afraid.On the other hand, my subconscious mind still thought that the dog would not actually rush to bite me.Because as dog food, human beings are too big.Moreover, animals should basically not provoke humans casually.Animals also know that they have to spend their strength on the edge of the knife, and they will not be so stupid as to make enemies of humans.But having said that, in fact, two children have already been injured, so common sense is only common sense after all, and it is not accurate.Besides, I have no experience of actually being attacked, and I don't want to.

I raised my left arm wrapped in a towel to my throat, and continued to stare at the wild dogs.Because you don't want your feet to be bitten, lower your center of gravity. Without warning, the dog suddenly flew towards me. The light brown dog shadow suddenly approached me.Nervousness and fear made me unable to move.Before I had time to get used to the feeling of being unable to move, I felt a sharp pain. The wild dog bit my left arm.The pain wasn't sharp, but it was enough to wake me up.I gritted my teeth, bearing the pain I had never experienced before.I bit my left arm on purpose, so I wrapped it in a towel.

I exerted strength on my left arm and found that my fingers could still move.It looked as though the dingo's fangs hadn't penetrated the towel and my own coat yet.It was painful, yes, but there was no bleeding. The distance between my face and the dog's is only a fist.I couldn't help but gritted my teeth and said: "You can't beat me." This sentence was completely blurted out without going through the brain.Although the wild dog wanted to bite off my arm, but because of the obstruction of the towel, it could only bite and refused to let go.Then our eyes met again.Because the distance was too close, I couldn't look directly into the dog's eyes, so I had to stare hard at the dog's left eye with both eyes.

Although the moment of being bitten was really painful, but thanks to the towel, it was still within the tolerable range. As long as we can continue to delay like this, the people from the health center should arrive soon! Although the situation is stalemate, it is a state that is beneficial to me after all, so I also began to become calmer.Since it was tiring to be in a half-squat all the time, I slowly lowered my knees to the asphalt.Enduring the bad breath of wild dogs, I started talking to it: "If you continue like this, you will die!" The sun was shining on the back of my head.

A man passing by on a bicycle hid from a distance and asked me if it was all right.I ignored him and continued talking to the dog: "You will be killed!" Dogs just make noises from their throats.It seems that humans still have no way to communicate with dogs. In the residential area at noon, a wall of spectators began to be formed. I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard the voice of the health center staff: "Please get out of the way." The staff at the health center asked me if I was injured, and said reproachfully, "Didn't I tell you not to shoot?"

I thought to myself: "If I don't take action, there will definitely be a third victim!" However, I still said in a low voice: "Sorry." I didn't have the slightest intention to claim credit. The dog was sent to the small van of the health center, and the crowd watching the excitement gradually dispersed.A woman with small wavy curly hair and a slightly futai figure rushed over and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you very much." She also bowed desperately in thanks.After she left, I realized that it must be the mother of the child who was almost bitten by a dog just now!

Watanabe has been on the phone non-stop since just now.It may be that they called the parents' association and the management committee and other relevant units that initiated the patrol to inform them that the alarm has been lifted!When the surroundings finally returned to the original calm, she finally remembered the expression of forgetting me, and asked me apologetically: "Uh...are you hurt?" I pressed lightly on my left arm and felt a tingling pain.I rolled up my sleeves and looked, only to find that the part bitten by the dog had swollen four pieces, and all of them were bruised.In addition, both legs are limp and useless.It's really embarrassing to say, once I relax from the tension, I can hardly even stand up.I don't know what other impressions Banping has of the word detective, but as a detective, I obviously don't belong to the tough guy school. I managed to force a smile. "It's just a bruise, nothing serious. Just stick a Salonpas." "Won't it hurt?" Is there even a need to ask?How could it not hurt? "But then again, you look very experienced! The arm was intended to be bitten by it, right?" "not bad!" "How brave!" No wonder!Not only did my legs tremble, but I was also in a cold sweat!It's just that I didn't show this useless look.Now that the wild dog problem has been solved, I also remembered the original purpose, so I continued to smile. "Get used to it, work needs it!" "What line of business are you in?" As I expected, she did ask the question.I can't help being a little proud.Sure enough, a confident attitude can sometimes be very convincing. "I'm a detective. My main job is to find lost puppies. However, I recently took on a slightly different case. I was interrupted by wild dogs just now when I was halfway through my speech..." The word detective seems to make Watanabe feel a little suspicious, so I have to show my hole card quickly.I tried to keep a calm tone and said: "You should be Ms. Matsunaka Keiko, right? Ms. Sakura Kiriko was originally working in Tokyo, but one day she suddenly disappeared. Her family members are very worried. Since I got the news that Ms. Sakura seems to have returned here, Ms. Sakura My mother told me that you might know where she hangs out more often. If you know something, can you tell me?" When I mentioned the name Kiriko Sakura, Watanabe's already unnaturally polite expression suddenly flashed a nervous look.She lowered her eyes, and after a moment's silence, murmured: "You mean... Kiriko?" "yes." It seemed she did know something.And it's still not a good thing to say.If I push too hard now, it will make Watanabe even more unwilling to speak.So I tried switching to a retreat-for-advance tactic. "Of course, from my standpoint, if Ms. Sakura doesn't want to go home, I don't intend to take her back by force. Because she may have her own difficulties, so I will definitely respect her wishes." "..." Watanabe avoided my sight.And I still put a smile on my face, trying to give the impression that I'm a good guy from head to toe. "You can trust me. If you don't want people to know that you gave me the information, I will definitely not let anyone know that you told me. How about it? Do you know where Ms. Sakura often goes?" The next thing to do is to wait. After hesitating for a long time, Watanabe finally spoke timidly: "... As far as I know, is it okay?" "No problem at all!" I spread my arms out in a welcome gesture.It seems that her mouth is really not ordinary tight.If the wild dog that suddenly appeared gave me a chance, it might not be easy to break through her defenses. "Tongzi often goes to the library. There is also the coffee shop 'Gendarme' in the town and 'Charing Cross', a shop selling small things nearby... Also, she likes the scenery overlooking the whole street from Namsan Park." I have these four locations firmly in my mind.Then he continued to smile, urging her to speak silently.At this time, Watanabe has not concealed her hesitant attitude at all, and even her gaze is hesitant.I've grown up so much and experienced things big and small, but it's the first time I've seen someone like her with the words "I have a secret" written all over her face.As long as I continue to exert silent pressure on her, she should say something more! After a long wait, Watanabe finally spoke.Will it work? "Uh……" "How about it?" Unfortunately, my battle failed.Watanabe just shook his head and whispered, "That's all I know." Why is her mouth so tight?If only she gossips a little more and likes to gossip a little more. "Is that so? Anyway, thank you very much." I saluted and nodded my thanks.Although I sighed in my heart.But being able to find out where Kiriko Sakura often goes is a great achievement.I decided to face it optimistically.
