Chapter 119: The Divine Dog Makes Its Move

After entering a room in the Village Committee, Xu Hua closed the door. The only people in the entire room were a few police officers, Village Chief Yao, and that Xu An.

At that moment, Xu Hua saluted Zhou Yu again and took out a piece of paper. He said, “Mr. Zhou Yu, under the instructions of the Provincial Public Security Department leadership, I am temporarily requisitioning the Divine Dog Huzi to assist in solving the XX major robbery and homicide case. Please cooperate.”

Xu An rubbed his forehead. His cousin was incredibly skilled at solving cases, but sometimes he didn’t know how to be flexible, always sticking formally to procedures. If it were up to Xu An, he would have just slammed the door and left. Requisition? Requisition nothing. Did he think they were playing League of Legends?

Based on his simple understanding of Zhou Yu, if Zhou Yu agreed so easily, then he wouldn’t be Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu smiled slightly. He didn’t look at the so-called requisition order. Gazing at Xu Hua, he said, “Captain Xu, without explaining anything clearly, you just want to take my Divine Dog away with a so-called requisition order, throwing him into unknown danger. That’s impossible.”

Xu Hua looked at Zhou Yu with sharp eyes but found that this young man met his gaze without any fear at all. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, “Mr. Zhou, I wonder what information you want to know. There are some things I cannot tell you.”

“I need to know the number of robbers in the mountains and the weapons they are carrying. Of course, also your current search progress. That way, I might agree to your request. Otherwise, you’ll have to find someone else.”

Zhou Yu spoke slowly. The fact that the Provincial Public Security Department sent people down to assist in the pursuit meant this couldn’t be a small case.

Given Huzi’s current physical condition, he could definitely win against a few ordinary people. But if they were facing vicious criminals carrying guns, then Huzi would inevitably be in danger.

He was naturally willing to help the police catch criminals and protect the safety of the area. But he had to understand the situation clearly. He wasn’t going to happily hand Huzi over just because Xu Hua said “requisition.”

Xu Hua thought for a moment. Seeing the firm expression on Zhou Yu’s face, he finally nodded. “These matters are supposed to be confidential. But the situation is urgent now; we can’t let the criminals continue to escape. So I will tell you. I hope this so-called Divine Dog of yours can actually help.”

In his words, Xu Hua also revealed some doubt about Huzi. The idea to have the Divine Dog Huzi come help was suggested by his brother, Xu An, who accidentally learned that the case had reached a deadlock.

At the time, Xu Hua was full of suspicion. He thought a dog raised by an ordinary person, no matter how impressive, couldn’t compare to a police dog. This gang of criminals had very strong anti-tracking abilities; the police dogs couldn’t pick up any useful scent.

He dismissed the idea with scorn. But who knew Xu An would go find their grandfather and have him mention it to a leader at the Public Security Department? That’s why they sent Xu An over to request the Divine Dog’s assistance. He didn’t know why their grandfather agreed so readily.

Not just him; even some of the officers involved in solving the case were full of doubt about the Divine Dog, thinking it would only cause trouble.

“As long as your information is useful, my Divine Dog will be useful.” Zhou Yu said calmly. After being enhanced by items from the Immortal World, Huzi had already created a huge gap between himself and the dogs on Earth.

After that, Xu Hua told Zhou Yu some information. It was a four-person robbery gang that had drifted over from another province. Along the way, they had committed five or six robberies, with three victims unfortunately killed. According to reliable information, they were carrying three handguns and one shotgun. Two of them were retired soldiers with very strong anti-detection abilities.

In the mountains and forests, their police dogs hadn’t been able to find any traces. They had searched for a full day and night yesterday with no discovery. So, asking for the Divine Dog this time was more like trying their luck than actually seeking assistance.

A look of gravity appeared on Zhou Yu’s face. A four-person robbery gang wasn’t that scary in itself. But these four were carrying three handguns and one shotgun, and two of them were retired soldiers. This invisibly increased the gang’s combat ability many times over.

“I understand the situation. I’ll go home and get another dog, then we can set off.” Zhou Yu nodded and said. If there were only two people without guns, he could confidently take just Huzi. But now, he had to bring another dog to reduce the danger.

“Wait, Mr. Zhou. It’s too dangerous. You can’t go.” Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Xu Hua’s expression changed. He spoke seriously.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but laugh. “The dogs I raise only listen to me. What you say is useless. Besides, with your protection, I probably won’t face too much danger. If we go, I’ll go with both dogs. Either that, or we don’t go at all.”

He couldn’t just hand both dogs over to these police officers. As for danger, he felt his physical condition was no weaker, if not stronger, than many police officers.

“Alright then. I hope you deeply understand the danger of this operation. You must follow our commands.” Xu Hua frowned, looked at Zhou Yu seriously, and then nodded.

Zhou Yu nodded lightly. “Wait here for a bit. I’ll go home and bring the other dog.”

After leaving the room, he first told Huzi to wait there. Then he rode his electric scooter all the way back to the Old Family House.

At the Old Family House, Zhou Yu changed into a different set of clothes. He couldn’t just wear anything when going into the mountains.

Next, he tied the Green Radiance Flying Sword he had prepared yesterday, scabbard and all, to his leg. This way, he could draw the Flying Sword quickly.

Besides that, he also carried a small backpack. Inside were a few small pieces of Wind Eagle Meat stored in glass bottles, just in case. The mountain area near Xing’an Town had a good wild environment, and there were plenty of fierce beasts inside.

Of course, Zhou Yu didn’t forget the most important thing: the Bone Blood Pill that could make his Little Universe erupt. However, this was his final weapon; he couldn’t use it lightly.

Walking into the yard, he patted Dabao on the head. “Dabao, let’s go. Xiaobao, you stay and guard the house. Jinzi, if you can understand me, follow me in the sky and help search for any suspicious characters.”

Jinzi hadn’t consumed many Spirit Beast Pills. He wasn’t sure if it could understand his complex instructions. He could only try.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Jinzi tilted its head and looked at him, not moving at all. Just as he was about to leave with Huzi and reach the gate, he heard a bird cry from the sky. He looked up and saw it was Jinzi. Under the sunlight, those golden feathers were very eye-catching.

Seeing this, a look of pleasant surprise appeared on Zhou Yu’s face. Maybe Jinzi didn’t fully understand his meaning, but it might have sensed he was going to a dangerous place and decided to follow him.

With Huzi and Dabao on the ground and the Golden Eagle in the sky, they could operate on both land and air. This would minimize the danger to the lowest degree.

Riding his electric scooter, he brought Dabao back to the Village Committee. Seeing this equally majestic-looking Labrador Retriever, the expressions of the surrounding police officers changed even more.

“Alright, Captain Xu, we can go now.” Zhou Yu called Huzi over. With a Divine Dog sitting on each side of him, he looked simply invincible and heroic.

A slight smile appeared on Xu Hua’s stern face. “Good. We mustn’t delay. We’ll head back to Xing’an Town immediately.” Saying this, he took Zhou Yu to the police car parked at the Village Committee entrance.

“Brother, I want to go too! I want to go!” Seeing himself left behind and ignored, Xu An hurriedly chased after them and shouted. Following the Divine Dog to catch criminals—what an exciting thing!

Seeing this, Xu Hua turned back with a cold face. “Take your car and go home. Stay put. If you dare follow, I’ll tell Grandpa immediately.” Then he got into the police car and left with Zhou Yu and the two Divine Dogs.

Through the police car window, Zhou Yu saw Jinzi following him in the sky. A warm smile spread across his face. This time, he had brought everything he could muster.

Arriving at the mountain area near Xing’an Town, the police car stopped. From here on, they had to continue on foot. All around, they could see many police officers stationed at various points.

On an open area near the mountains, there was a temporary command post. Xu Hua brought Zhou Yu and the two Divine Dogs inside.

The atmosphere in the command post was very tense. After all, a gang of vicious robbery murderers had escaped into the mountains, and they couldn’t find them. If these guys slipped out of the mountains and committed more crimes, they would really lose face.

Moreover, the Provincial Public Security Department had set a deadline for the arrest. They had to capture this gang of criminals by the day after tomorrow at the latest.

“Director Han, I’ve brought the Divine Dog back, along with its owner, Zhou Yu.” Entering the temporary tent, Xu Hua saluted a middle-aged man at the front and said gravely.

The middle-aged man was standing with others next to a simple sand table, discussing something. Hearing Xu Hua’s words, they turned around and saw Zhou Yu and the two Divine Dogs beside him.

“Oh, so fast. And two Divine Dogs. Young man, thank you for your contribution to public safety. We will definitely protect these two Divine Dogs well.” The middle-aged man walked over quickly, shook hands with Zhou Yu, and focused his gaze on the two Divine Dogs.

Besides them, there were also two police dogs in the tent at that moment. But facing the Divine Dogs, these two very brave police dogs seemed somewhat uneasy.

At that moment, Huzi turned its head and glanced at them. The two police dogs immediately lay down meekly on the ground.

Seeing this, the police officers in the tent all showed a look of surprise. The middle-aged man at the front said with admiration, “It really is a Divine Dog. It has a majestic aura.”

“Hello, Director Han. I came here precisely for the safety of the surrounding residents. We mustn’t delay now. Let’s start searching immediately.” Zhou Yu shook hands with the middle-aged man and spoke slowly.

Previously, Huzi could already fight and defeat Tibetan Mastiffs. Now, after eating so much Wind Eagle Meat, its aura had strengthened many times over.

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, the middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly. “Young man, you can’t come with us. Xu Hua, didn’t you tell this young man about the danger of this operation?”

At that moment, Xu Hua spoke again. “Director Han, I did. But Zhou Yu insists on accompanying us with the Divine Dogs during the search. This is his requirement. The Divine Dogs only listen to him.”

“No. There are so many dangers in the mountains. What if something unexpected happens?” The middle-aged man waved his hand, his tone firm.
