Chapter 111 The Dog, the Casino and the Big Dog

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang followed Zhao Hu to the mountain where the bloodstain was found. Sure enough, a long trail of blood was dragged from the top to the bottom of the mountain. Dog paw prints.

"Dog paw?" Bai Yutang looked carefully and frowned, "This dog is big enough."

"Yeah." Zhan Zhao knelt down and looked carefully, and asked puzzledly, "Is there such a big dog?"

"Looking at the size of the paw, it looks like a bear or something." Bai Yutang said, "But the shape of the paw looks like a dog."

Saying that, both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked up and imagined that a bear's shape and a dog's paw appeared in their heads at the same time... After thinking about it, the two quickly shook their heads, it was really scary!

"There are a lot of bloodstains below." Zhan Zhao said, "But there are no dog paw prints, it seems that they rested here for a while."

"En." Bai Yutang nodded, "And then walked from here." Bai Yutang jumped down the hill, reached the middle of the road, pointed to the front and said, "Walk all the way back here."

"However, half of the blood will disappear." Zhan Zhao said, "The people are gone too."

"It looks like someone has been robbed here suddenly." Bai Yutang rubbed his chin, "It looks like a carriage."

"En." Zhan Zhao nodded.

"Send more people to search the mountains." Zhan Zhao said to Zhao Hu, "And...do you know where there is such a big dog?"

Zhao Hu thought for a while, and said, "Well... I have seen it, but it probably wasn't that dog who did it. That dog is very cute and docile."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both sounded fresh, and asked, "Which dog? Is there really such a big dog?"

"It's raised at the back of the first-class building. It's delicious and fed every day. The daughter of shopkeeper Yu is so spoiled. I asked the shopkeeper what kind of dog it is, and he said it's called Cang Ni dog. It's as big as a bear! " Zhao Hu said, gesturing for the size, "The white one looks so pretty."

"Is there such a thing?" Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide.

"White?" Bai Yutang became interested. He has a crush on any animal with white hair.

The two finally decided to leave the forest and head to Yipinlou to see the legendary white Cang Ni dog.

The entrance of Yipin Building was still full of people. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang entered the building, and the boss Yuxi Zhang hurriedly led them out, "You two, I haven't been here for a while, upstairs private room?"

Zhan Zhao asked with a smile, "Boss Yu, I heard that you have a big white dog?"

"Oh, yes." Yuxi Zhang nodded and said, "I am a person who loves dogs like my life. That dog was bought for me from the north a few years ago, but it has been kept as a baby to this day." While speaking, he led Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang back.

Bai Yutang asked, "I heard it's as big as a bear?"

"Yes." Yuxi Zhang nodded and said, "This kind of dog is also called Cang Ni dog, which belongs to mastiff dog. Isn't there an old saying that one mastiff is worth nine wolves."

"Oh, this is the legendary mastiff?" Zhan Zhao said, "I have heard of it. It is said that it lives on the snow-capped mountains and is very fierce."

"Yes, I've also heard some rumors about mastiffs." Bai Yutang also nodded.

While speaking, he bypassed the corridor and came to the backyard of Yipin Building.

In the yard, there was a big room made of wood.

"Hush." ​​Yuxi Zhang signaled to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to be quiet, walked over lightly, and said in a low voice, "Xiaoxue just gave birth to a cub a few days ago, so we dare not make noise these few days it.

"Oh?" Zhan Zhao smiled, "Xiaoxue just gave birth to a cub? Xiaoyu is about to give birth."

"Really?" Yuxi Zhang Ke knew that Yan Shanyue was a good horse, and Bai Yutang rolled his eyes at the side. This cat came again, and Xiaoyu would not give birth until at least next year. Besides, although it was matched, it was still a question of whether it was.

"Walking outside the wooden room, I saw that the door was only half the height of a person, and the room was filled with thick hay and cloth strips, which seemed to make it very warm.

Inside... a huge white dog was lying there, under the stomach, a row of puppies were desperately milking.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang took a straight look and were immediately dumbfounded.

Seeing that the big white dog was really, really big, very big, Bai Yutang looked around, thinking that if it was bigger, the dog would catch up with Huifeng, and... so cute and magnificent!

This dog is white all over, with a particularly big head, thick and long hair, unusually mighty, chubby and cute.

The big dog looked up and saw Yuxi Zhang bringing two people, he shook his tail at Yuxi Zhang, and with one front foot, pulled a fat puppy who had fallen asleep while breastfeeding to the side , let it continue to eat.

"Do puppies have black and white?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

"Well, the male dog is black, and it's also a top-quality mastiff. It's raised by the owner of Sixi Pavilion, the opposite door." Yuxi Zhang laughed, "The one in their family is bigger, called Xiaoxizi, and it's also very energetic."

Zhan Zhao calculated in his mind, "One black and one white will give birth to white or black, not gray... Then Xiaoyue will give birth to two horses, so that there will be one black and one white, how good?"

Bai Yutang saw what he was thinking, and patted him on the shoulder helplessly, "Cat, a horse basically only gives birth to one foal at a time."

Zhan Zhao frowned, and Bai Yutang added, "But can you regenerate after giving birth?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at the feeding of the group of little male dogs... They are so cute, if only one can be born, wouldn't it mean that ponies can eat a lot of milk?

Bai Yutang shook his head, leaving Zhan Zhao to think wildly, and asked the shopkeeper, "Will Xiaoxue and Xiaoxizi bite people, or kill people?"

"No, absolutely not!" Yuxi Zhang quickly waved his hands and said, "This mastiff is very loyal, and generally only recognizes its first owner, and it can do whatever the owner asks it to do. And, if this dog has been raised since childhood In the wild, it is used for livestock grazing, chasing wolves or something, and feeding more raw meat, it will be fierce, and it will definitely bite when people it does not know approach. But our big dogs are all kept in restaurants. They eat all cooked vegetables. Look at this fat one. Everyone who passes by pats it twice, and it just wags its tail. It's even more impossible, unless the dog has been specially trained, the average wild dog will drive you out of its territory at most, and there will never be a dog that will take the initiative to kill people."

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao nodded.

"My Xiaoxue is very docile." Yuxi Zhang said, "If you don't believe me, touch it."

"Really?" Zhan Zhao's hands were itchy, "What if I touch it now?"

"Just touch it!" Yuxi Zhang said with a smile, "I won't bite it when I'm here." As he said, he opened the wooden door.

Zhan Zhao squatted down and looked at Xiaoxue.

Xiaoxue looked at Zhan Zhao and shook her tail.

Zhan Zhao is in a good mood. Although he doesn't know much about dogs, he has Xiao Ba at home. Zhan Zhao knows that as long as a dog wags its tail at you, it means it is happy.

"Xiaoxue, this is Mr. Zhan, this is Lord Bai, I told you about it." Yuxi chatted with Xiaoxue with a smile.

Bai Yutang laughed, it really is a dog idiot.

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaoxue's ear.

Bai Yutang found that Zhan Zhao seemed to like to touch the ears of small animals, and he liked to pinch the ears of cats and dogs.

Xiaoxue's ears were pinched, and she comfortably rubbed her big head against Zhan Zhao.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes, put his arms around its neck, "It's so cute."

"Master Zhan, if you like it, I'll give you one after weaning in a few days?" Yuxi Zhang said with a smile.

"Is it possible?" Zhan Zhao opened his eyes wide, and the picture of the little pony growing up with the puppy appeared in his mind, and he pulled Yuxi Zhang excitedly, "Master Yu, you have to keep what you say, I'll wait , want a white one!"

Yuxi Zhang hurriedly nodded with a smile, "Haha, I will send it to you as soon as it is weaned!"

Bai Yutang was also in a good mood, looking at the group of puppies, ready to choose one he likes, he and Zhan Zhao both took a fancy to the fattest one in the middle, the one with round head and round brain, very cute.This dog is also easy to recognize, the whole body is snow white, except that the tail is slightly raised, and there is a small part of black... It is still a flowery belly!

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other, then pointed out - that's it!

Afterwards, the two asked Yuxi Zhang about where to buy mastiffs, where there would be such things as biting mastiffs, and then went to Sixi Pavilion next door to see the black dog. This little Xizi was even more frightening. He looks like a black bear, and is very enthusiastic. He hangs out with Zhan Zhao for a long time, and before leaving, he even grabs Zhan Zhao's trouser legs to prevent him from leaving, wanting to play together.The lover and the shopkeeper also asked for some clues, and left after eating.

On the way back to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao said to himself, "Well...according to what the two storekeepers said just now...this kind of mastiff can definitely kill people if it is specially trained to be a fierce dog. "It seems that the murderer this time is very likely to be a fierce mastiff. Of course, someone ordered them." Bai Yutang also nodded, and said, "Plus the dead are all gamblers, that is to say, It may be that there are a lot of mastiffs in the casino... By the way, didn’t the silver beads used as chips come from the Western Regions? It’s not impossible for the big dogs brought in there.”

"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded, "It makes sense."

When the two returned to Kaifeng Mansion, they saw Gongsun coming out of Wu Zuo's room, and said to the two of them, "You two came just in time, the other mansions have brought in the bodies that were bitten to death, and the bite marks are the same. The big dog killed them, and their identities proved to be gamblers, and there were silver beads in their stomachs.

"What a coincidence?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang frowned.

"In this way, it's not a coincidence!" Gongsun said, "In other words, this casino is mobile!"

Both Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang suddenly thought of what Tang Mi had told them about the strange things he had encountered recently. It seemed that there were a large number of strange people passing by everywhere, some were getting married or attending funerals...or just like The dead body that Bai Yutang saw that day.

"Yutang, did you really see the corpse that day?" Zhan Zhao asked, "Do those people have anything to do with gambling?"

Bai Yutang frowned slightly, shook his head again and again, and said, "No... I just saw a group of men in white jumping around, I really didn't see any gambling.

"Well, according to the current clues, could it be that they killed two people before reaching one place, and then quickly moved to another place." Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, feeling puzzled, "What exactly is this plotting? "

Bai Yutang shrugged, indicating that he couldn't figure it out either.

While talking, I saw Tang Xiaomei coming in from outside the gate, gnawing on a bunch of candied haws.

Zhan Zhao wanted to ask Tang Mi about the strange things he encountered in the past few days, so he asked, "Little sister, where is your brother?"

"Oh." The younger sister said, "My sister-in-law has lost twenty catties, so my brother took her to swim in the lake."

"Have you lost twenty catties?" Bai Yutang looked at Tang Xiaomei with wide eyes in surprise, and said, "How many days has it been? How many catties have you lost?"

"It's okay?" Zhan Zhao looked at Gongsun.

Gongsun shook his head, "I've checked the pulse, it's all right."

"Brother hates it to death." Tang Xiaomei said dissatisfiedly, "I have to lose weight for my sister-in-law, how cute she is chubby."

Zhan Zhao was a little worried, and asked, "Tang Mi took Liu Miao'e to swim in the lake like this? What if we are blocked by those girls who forced marriage?"

Tang Xiaomei was taken aback, stood in the yard and thought for a while, then stomped her feet, "Oh, I was just wondering why those girls ran towards the lake so viciously just now!" After speaking, she ran out quickly.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao exchanged glances, and hurriedly followed out. Gongsun was puzzled and asked, "Are you two going too?"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang said in unison, "Watch the excitement... Uh, no, go help!"

After speaking, he ran away without a trace.
