Chapter 336: These People Don

Looking at the wide river surface and the light breeze brushing past, Su Yang's expression wasn't good.

The water's surface doesn't retain scent.

He could track residual odors in the air, but if a strong wind scattered the scent, he'd find it difficult.

Su Yang's ability was scent tracking, not time reversal.

"They might have boarded the boat with the car—check for nearby surveillance or witnesses!"

Not long after, personnel from the City Guard arrived to report: no surveillance.

There were witnesses, but they only remembered it was an old-style sandboat, with no obvious markings; the sandboat had lowered its sails and headed downstream along the Changyun River.

"Then it's simple!" Su Yang gazed downstream along the Changyun River. "They'll only stop at docks within Wucheng City's boundaries—they won't leave Wucheng."

The Changyun River flows through Wucheng City, and nearly all the ferocious beasts in this stretch of the river have been exterminated by the Southwest Military Department, ensuring no river-dwelling beasts can attack the city.

Su Yang didn't believe the boat would escape Wucheng City via waterway.

It's just a child abduction—no need to risk their lives.

"Yes, Major!"

"Emergency Corps members, summon flight-type ferocious beasts and search downstream—I need every single vessel on the river checked, whether heading upstream or downstream!"

"Yes!"

Su Yang said to the beast tamer with the Golden Hound: "Your Golden Hound also memorized the tire scent of that car—join their group. We'll split into two teams and first check the deck odor of downstream sandboats."

"Yes, Major!"

"Stay in the vehicle!"

This remark, Su Yang directed at the middle-aged woman.

After speaking, he leapt directly onto the river surface, standing firmly on it and flying toward the nearest sandboat heading downstream.

The other members of the Tenth Emergency Squad, along with the beast tamer, flew toward other targets.

When he landed on the deck, the crew stared at him nervously.

Su Yang sniffed—the car's scent was absent—then he flew off without looking back.

The Emergency Corps doesn't need to explain their actions.

Su Yang searched at incredible speed; standing on a boat for just one minute was enough for him to determine whether the car's scent was present.

Soon, fifteen minutes passed. Su Yang leapt onto an ordinary sandboat, took a light sniff, and caught the scent of the car's new tires.

"Officer, what's your business here?"

A good-natured middle-aged man rushed over as Su Yang landed on the deck.

Su Yang summoned the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly, freezing everyone on the sandboat in that instant.

"Come here—something's happened!"

Su Yang shouted loudly.

Eight beast tamers arrived upon hearing the call.

"I found the car's scent!" Su Yang pointed to the side deck. "Do any of you specialize in interrogation?"

All eight beast tamers stepped forward…

So many specialize in interrogation?

Su Yang raised an eyebrow, realizing another weakness in himself: "Then all of you go at once!"

Two minutes later, Su Yang saw a grotesquely deformed human corpse on the deck—and suddenly understood.

He could do this kind of interrogation too!

The City Guard's beast tamer said: "They confessed—it's the Shalang Gang. They're a gang from Dongcheng District, not our Beicheng District."

"Do you know where the Shalang Gang is located?"

"We got it all out of them."

Su Yang nodded: "Then we're heading to Dongcheng District!"

"But I'm assigned to Beicheng District!" the beast tamer with the Golden Hound hesitated. "I have no authority to operate in Dongcheng District."

Su Yang smiled: "No problem—just watch from the side. We'll handle the rest."

"Exactly—just lead us there. We'll take care of everything else!"

Members of the Tenth Emergency Squad also patted their chests in assurance.

"Fine!"

The Beicheng District beast tamer nodded.

With Major Su Yang's guarantee, he wasn't afraid of anything.

"Major Su, why don't we just deal with these people ourselves?" one Tenth Squad beast tamer asked, pointing to the remaining thirteen crew members on the sandboat. "They're all Shalang Gang members—and they don't seem to be doing this for the first time…"

The Shalang Gang had finally provoked universal outrage.

Su Yang knew the seven beast tamers sent by Shen Yan were all seething with rage.

The Emergency Corps beast tamers weren't exactly gentle souls.

Their tempers were even more volatile than most ordinary beast tamers'.

Probably due to prolonged high-intensity combat and heavy casualties, the pressure had left most elite Emergency Corps beast tamers with psychological issues.
