Originally, many people coming out of the parking lot had wanted to come over and say hello. Those who knew them came over to chat, and those who did not came over to satisfy their curiosity. Other than that, there were also some media outlets lying in wait, hoping to get firsthand news that Dongshan Farm was being closely watched.
But following the barking of the police dog, the people who had been rushing over suddenly stopped in their tracks. They looked at Fang Zhao and his group, then at the police dog barking in Fang Zhao's direction. Their footsteps changed, as if avoiding the plague, and they scattered with a whoosh. The other people who had come out behind Fang Zhao also retreated back into the parking lot.
The previously crowded exit emptied out in an instant, forming an empty circle around Fang Zhao's group. But those people did not go far and just watched from a distance. People were curious, and they wanted to see what was going on. Could it be that someone had brought a bomb? Or was there something else? Especially those young people who had come to Muzhou for the first time, they were nervous and excited.
The media outlets were practically on steroids, staring closely at the scene.
"Woof woof woof!"
The barking police dog pulled its leash taut. If not for the police officer beside it holding on tightly, it might have charged over. The police officer tightened his grip on the dog's leash and said something. He was probably explaining the situation through a microcommunication device.
When the police dog barked, more than a dozen policemen quickly walked over, and behind them were people from the Special Forces.
"What... what's going on?" This was the first time Zu Wen and the others had encountered such a situation. They were suddenly scared stiff. He was just an ordinary citizen, and this was the first time he had come to watch a sheep-herding competition. He was completely dumbfounded. He was practically scared to tears!
They had just thought that with the strict security checks and tight security, they would be at ease if safety was guaranteed. Who would have thought that something like this would happen?!
"I... I also don't know..." Pang Pusong swallowed his saliva. He had not been this nervous even during his most difficult interview. Now, he was so scared that he could not even make a sound.
Fang Zhao did not understand either. Having experienced being watched a few times at the cemetery, he had learned how to put on a facade in front of these sharp-eyed people. The background music in his head was still cheerful, and his aura was different from when he had been at the cemetery. There should not have been a situation that would make these people tense up.
Zuo Yu, who was at Fang Zhao's side, didn't show it on his face, but in his heart, he was suspicious. Could it be that his gun had been discovered? That shouldn't be the case.
It was not just Fang Zhao and the others. Wu Yi and Su Hou were also dumbfounded. They had participated in so many competitions and had gone through so many security checks. Even if the checks this time were stricter, it was unlikely that something like this would happen.
"This... this... what happened?" As the oldest person here, Wu Yi asked in a trembling voice.
The policeman who walked over swept his hawk-like gaze over them, causing Wu Yi to shiver again.
"Please accept the security check again. Please cooperate," the policeman said expressionlessly.
After he finished speaking, without waiting for Fang Zhao and the others to agree, he waved his hand, and the people who had already brought along the inspection equipment came over. The special forces team also approached.
There was nothing wrong with checking them again. Their identification was also checked. When they came out, they had already gone through the first round of checks. They were not allowed to bring guns, ammunition, or other dangerous items. Nothing could be found even if they checked again.
After looking at Zuo Yu's identity card, the person in charge of the inspection looked at him a few times. Zuo Yu smiled back.
"Captain, everything is normal," the person in charge of the inspection said to the person with the dog.
The policeman with the dog looked at the other people in charge of the inspection, only to see them all shake their heads, indicating that they had not found anything unusual.
The policeman frowned and did not understand. The leash in his hand was tugged once again. The police dog he was leading, as well as the other two police dogs that had come over, all looked a little irritated. Their gazes kept sweeping around, as if they were looking for something. His heart skipped a beat, and he walked the dog in a circle around them.
"Woof woof woof woof!" The police dog barked again, this time even more ferociously than before.
Besides the police dog that had started barking, the other two were also barking.
Watching the ferocious barking of the police dogs, Zu Wen stared at the leashes on them. He was really worried that the leashes would break.
The policeman's body trembled violently. His sharp gaze carried a chill. He pointed at the car beside them and said to Fang Zhao and the others, "Open it!"
"You guys want to go up and check this car?!" Wu Yi could not hold it in any longer and rushed over to stop them. "Inside are the shepherd dogs that will be competing this time, as well as our team's veterinarians!"
After the contestants disembarked from the aircraft, a special car would be sent over. This car wasn't for people, but for the "contestants". In order to prevent the shepherd dogs from being disturbed by the spectators, or from being framed by undetectable means, the organizers would send out a special car after the contestants arrived and place the dogs inside. Besides the dogs, there was also a team of veterinarians to take care of them. The car was soundproof, so the sounds outside could not affect the people inside. No matter how noisy it was outside, the people inside could not hear it. However, the people in the car could see the situation outside, but without Wu Yi's permission, they did not get out of the car.
"This has already been inspected, and there are people from the organizers standing guard inside. There are no dangerous items at all!"
Wu Yi did not want the police to go up and check. The dogs had already been adjusted to their best condition. If they were frightened by the police and the police dogs, it could seriously affect the competition. Police dogs and shepherd dogs were like a soldier that had undergone strict training and a normal athlete. How could they be the same?! He had waited for so many years and was lucky enough to make it to the finals. How could he be willing to let something happen at this crucial moment?
Despite the police's pressuring gaze, Wu Yi was unwilling to give way.
Seeing that the police were about to force their way in, Fang Zhao said, "There is no need to go up and check." He then told Wu Yi, "Go and bring Curly Hair out. Remember to leash him."
"Ah? Fang Zhao, Curly Hair is the core of our team! "Wu Yi was unwilling. What if he was frightened when he was brought out? He would not be able to run when he entered the competition.
"Don't worry, it will be fine. Go and bring him out. Remember to leash him," Fang Zhao emphasized.
"Oh." Wu Yi reluctantly walked to the side of the car and prepared to open the door to enter. However, under the watchful gazes of over 10 pairs of eyes, the solemn atmosphere, and the pressure, Wu Yi's legs turned to jelly and he stumbled. If not for Su Hou's support, he would have fallen.
"Alright, Wu Yi, you stand at the side with them. I will go up." Fang Zhao opened the car door and entered, then quickly closed it again.
The car doors were at the back of the car. There were two doors, and between the two doors was a buffer zone. Only the outermost door was opened, so no sound could be heard from inside the car.
After a while, the outermost door opened once again. This time, the door had only opened a small gap when the three police dogs started barking crazily. They wanted to break free from their leashes and rush over. One police officer could not hold them back. Two or three people were needed.
Wu Yi saw a few people from the special forces team raise their guns. They were probably ready to open fire at any time. Although these farm owners had also applied for guns, they rarely used them. The guns used by these people were also different. Of course, the most important thing was still their imposing manner. Seeing them like this, Wu Yi was really worried that the hands of these police officers would shake and open fire.
The atmosphere at the scene was especially tense. Zu Wen felt that, based on the situations he had seen in the movies, the next moment would be a gunfight. But what did they have that was worth the police being so guarded against?
Zu Wen and the others had endless guesses in their minds. They were so nervous that they forgot to breathe.
The outer car door opened wider and wider. More than 10 gun muzzles were pointed in that direction. Then, everyone who was on high alert saw Fang Zhao holding the dog leash with one hand and the curly-haired dog at his feet wearing Dongshan Farm's competition uniform.
However, the atmosphere did not ease. As Fang Zhao led the dog down from the car, the people from the special forces team were on high alert, ready to open fire at any time. They did not care if you were a contestant or a dog. As long as you threatened the lives of others and the safety of the competition venue, you would be shot. This had always been the rule.
Fang Zhao led the dog a few steps forward. With one hand on the leash, he raised his other hand, indicating that he did not have any lethal weapons in his hands. He even led Curly Hair away from the dog car for about 10 meters. The three police dogs also moved, still barking crazily and emitting low growls from their throats.
Everyone present could see that the three police dogs did not sense the threat from the dog car, but from Fang Zhao's side. However, there was only one person and a small dog. That curly-haired dog was rather gutsy. It stood up and barked at the three police dogs.
"Woof woof! Woof woof woof! "
"Woof woof woof! Woof! "
"Woof! Woof! Woof! Woof! "
Zu Wen asked Wu Yi, who seemed to be the most experienced, in a low voice, "Are they communicating in dog language? I see that they have broken sentences when they bark. "
Wu Yi looked at Zu Wen as if he was an idiot. "Every dog has its own barking habits." Then, he pondered deeply. "From my experience, they should be quarreling."
"As long as you are not blind, you can tell! If he was not being led, there would probably be a fight. Does Curly Hair want to take on three at once? Not bad. He is not weak at all! " Zu Wen had forgotten to be afraid. The scene in front of him was too comical. On one side, Fang Zhao was holding little Curly Hair with one hand and standing there calmly. On the other side, there were seven or eight policemen holding the three police dogs, all on high alert.
Anyone with a little knowledge of dogs could tell that the three police dogs were not targeting anyone else, not the dog car, not Fang Zhao with the dogs, but Curly Hair.
The security personnel used their tools to scan the area and found nothing.
After that, besides the four dogs barking at Curly Hair, everyone else was strangely silent, including the special forces team that had been on high alert.
Not far away, there were other dogs that had heard the commotion and started barking. Some were police dogs, while others were dogs brought by spectators.
This situation continued for close to two minutes. The special forces team could not bear to watch any longer. So it was a matter between dogs. This was f * cking embarrassing!
Fang Zhao pointed at Curly Hair, who was barking at the three police dogs, and asked the policeman in front of him, "Does this count as carrying a dangerous item?"
"Cough... probably not... right?" The policeman looked at the captain, who had a stiff expression, and waited for instructions.
"No." The captain forced a smile and said to Fang Zhao and the others, "Sorry, it was a misunderstanding."
