We made a WeChat call to Jason,but no one answered.
According to the address Jason had told us before,we went to the place and asked around,and finally found Jason's house.
It was an old-fashioned community with mottled walls.
I only knocked on the door once,and a fierce dog barked from inside.
Then,a female voice came scolding.
After a while,the door opened.
"Who are you looking for?"
We explained our purpose,and the girl looked disappointed.
It turned out that Jason was dead.He had drowned eight days ago.
The girl was Jason's girlfriend.
The dog at home was raised by Jason.The girl often came to take care of the dog.
The girl couldn't contact Jason's family either,and she hadn't found a place to settle the dog.
I didn't tell the truth of the matter.I just asked the girl if anyone else had come here besides us.
The girl said that after the incident,the police had come,and no one else.
We were about to leave when the dog in the house started barking wildly.
The girl told us not to be afraid.The dog was locked up and wouldn't run out.
Ernie casually asked what kind of dog it was and why it was difficult to settle.
Only then did the girl explain that the dog was a retired police dog.It couldn't be given away casually.To change the owner,it also needed to be reported.
We turned around and left,with our minds full of chaotic thoughts.
I couldn't help but mutter"retired police dog",and it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed through my mind!
I quickly turned around and blocked the door that was about to be closed.
"Did you notice if the dog had any strange behavior in the few days before Jason died?"
The girl wasn't angry with me for pushing the door rudely.After thinking carefully,she told me.
In the month when Jason had the accident,the dog often barked wildly.It was taken to the pet hospital for two comprehensive physical examinations,but nothing abnormal was found.After that,it was left unresolved.
Before Jason died,the dog at home often barked wildly.This showed that Jason's death was definitely not as simple as accidental drowning!
All things have spirits,especially since this dog was a retired police dog.The loyalty to its owner couldn't be faked.The dog must have discovered something!
