The military dog named "Champion" sniffed the suspect's clothes twice before heading into the woods, followed immediately by the Armed Police commander giving the order, and the group trailing closely behind.
Along the way, Champion walked and sniffed continuously without pausing.
The main force gradually spread out, forming three long horizontal columns.
In the front, the smallest group, consisting of armed police and special police holding riot shields, primarily served as scouts, remaining highly vigilant to the woodland surroundings to alert and protect the rear military and police forces when necessary.
The second column was responsible for a rough search, checking for trampled shrubs, broken branches, suspicious items, and so on.
The rearmost column was tasked with a detailed search, focusing on special footprints and areas overlooked by the second column.
Gu Ji was currently in the second column.
Every hour, personnel from the three columns would rotate.
