Animal Detective

Chapter 100 Training Police Dogs
The next day, Shen Xin went to work as usual.

As soon as he entered the branch office building, before he even went upstairs, two people suddenly jumped out from the left and right and hooked their arms around Shen Xin's shoulders.

"Captain Feng?"

Shen Xin shuddered in fright.

The person on the right is someone I met before in the Zhang Qin case; he is Feng Kaiwei, the captain of the branch's special police brigade.

The man on the left, around forty years old, had rough, dark skin, short hair as thin as steel needles, and a faint, unpleasant odor emanating from him, suggesting he hadn't showered in a while.

"Captain Jiang?"

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xin recognized him; it seemed to be Jiang Wengang, the captain of the anti-drug squad of the branch bureau.

"Come on, come on."

Feng Kaiwei put his arm around Shen Xin's shoulder and led him directly into the reception room next door.

Jiang Wengang even personally poured water for Shen Xin.

Shen Xin was startled and quickly reached out to stop him.

"It's alright, please sit down." He smiled and invited Shen Xin to sit down.

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be alright.

Shen Xin felt extremely uncomfortable. He recalled that after arriving at the branch office, he had dutifully clocked in at the archives and hadn't provoked these two people.

"Xiao Shen, don't be nervous. It's like we're going to do something to you." Feng Kaiwei sat down and then said, "You're pretty good, kid. Now the whole branch is talking about you. They're saying you're the nemesis of unsolved cases."

What the hell?

Shen Xin was taken aback. Who spread this message?

Let's hope that because of this, Lü Youwei doesn't actually get himself exiled to be in charge of unsolved cases.

“Of course, I’ve heard about it.” Jiang Wengang sat down on the other side and counted on his fingers, “In that missing person case, didn’t you rely on a dog to lock down the suspect? And in that couple’s case, you used a cat to do the investigation. Old Feng knows about that.”

Feng Kaiwei didn't say anything, but just gave a thumbs up.

He surrenders!

Jiang Wengang continued, "And this time, you solved a case that had been going on for over four years with just a parrot. Your criminal investigation team deserves credit for that."

Shen Xinyue felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to this, and said with a wry smile, "What exactly are you two trying to say?"

Just say what you want to say, don't try this scare tactic.

The two exchanged a glance, and Jiang Wengang spoke up: "It's like this, Xiao Shen, have you noticed that you have a special connection with these little animals? Take that parrot, for example, how come it gets along so well with you and can even identify the murderer? It's amazing, you have a real talent!"

He patted Shen Xin on the shoulder, looking surprised.

Then he continued, "And your Yunlin Police Station, I've inquired about it. Do you have a dog? Good heavens, now our anti-drug brigade from the branch bureau is trying to collect quotas from your Yunlin Street, but we can't get a single hair out of it."

"This is the dog that your Song police station used as a drug-sniffing dog. So, did you train this dog yourself?"

In the area of ​​drug busts, both the local police station and the branch office have quotas.

There's nothing we can do but see who acts faster.

Recently, however, Yunlin Street has come up empty-handed. Jiang Wengang only found out after asking around that the Yunlin Police Station has a dog that is incredibly good at searching for drugs.

"so what?"

Shen Xin countered, "Regarding the million-dollar deal, I really don't know what happened after I was transferred to the branch office."

Jiang Wengang smiled and pushed the water glass towards Shen Xin, saying, "You're a member of the branch now, shouldn't you do your part for our branch?"

At this point, Shen Xin understood.

"Captain Jiang, do you want me to help you train police dogs?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Wengang patted Shen Xin on the shoulder and said, "You really don't know how hard it is to get police dogs. Take our city's police dog base for example, there are a total of 37 police dogs, and each one is treated like a precious gem."

"Moreover, our city's police dog base is a police dog demonstration base directly under the Provincial Public Security Department. The police dogs they train have to be sent to the province. So, do you think they can allocate a few to our dogs?"

"Take our anti-drug squad, for example. When we need to carry out some kind of operation and borrow two police dogs from the police dog base, we have to beg and plead like old folks."

Police dogs at the police dog base are managed centrally and deployed as needed, so you have to apply in advance if you have a mission.

The anti-drug squad used to have a resident police dog, but it retired a few years ago, and there isn't one now.

"So since you have this talent, shouldn't you help me out?"

Jiang Wengang smiled and pushed the water glass towards Shen Xin again.

Professional police dogs are a great help to their anti-drug work.

"And there we are."

Feng Kaiwei quickly pointed to himself and said, "Our special police brigade is only missing two bomb-sniffing dogs. We've submitted reports to the municipal bureau many times, but it still hasn't been approved."

Shen Xin understood completely. Come to think of it, with his abilities, training two police dogs wasn't a difficult task at all.

Shen Xin had previously discovered that his abilities could also influence animals, making them smarter and more human-like.

"Should I report this to Captain Sun?" Shen Xin asked rhetorically.

"What are you reporting? Do you think that old bastard doesn't want it?" Jiang Wengang retorted.

Does the Criminal Investigation Division not need police dogs?

Suspect apprehension and bloodstain tracking are both aided by specialized police dogs, which play a significant role in criminal investigations.

"Alright, Lao Jiang, stop talking and let Xiao Shen have a say too." Feng Kaiwei interrupted Jiang Wengang and said to Shen Xin, "Xiao Shen, think about it, if we hadn't communicated with Director Lü, would we have come to you? This is Director Lü's intention."

That's fine then. Lü Youwei has spoken, so what can Shen Xin say?

As long as I don't get transferred to the police dog base, it's fine.

"Xiao Shen, what do you think we should do now?" Feng Kaiwei asked.

Shen Xin glanced at the two of them, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Buy a dog?"

To train police dogs, don't you need to have dogs first?

……

Nanjiang consists of one city and two counties.

The two counties are Jigang City and Donglin City.

Heading southwest from Lishan District, you'll reach Donglin City. Then, in Lankou Town, which is located next to Provincial Highway S216, lies the largest dog market in Nanjiang.

There are also many professional breeding bases for purebred dogs in the town.

Shen Xin was carried by the two men to Lankou.

On the way, Jiang Wengang asked Shen Xin what breed of dog he thought was good, saying that Director Lü had approved a budget of 100,000 yuan for them, and they planned to get five dogs.

The police dog base selects only purebred dogs, and they are not cheap.

Shen Xin didn't seem to care.

Like a million, which is just an ordinary wolfhound.

Police dog bases select purebred dogs in the hope of finding dogs that are highly obedient and affectionate enough through purebred breeding.

Smell isn't a primary consideration, since dogs all have a similar and very strong sense of smell.

The issue of compliance is not a problem at all for Shen Xin.

So whether a dog is purebred or not is not very important.

"Is there a dog market today? Why don't we go check it out first?" Shen Xin remembered that the Lankou dog market was open on even-numbered days in the morning, and it was located on a side road of Provincial Highway 216.

Jiang Wengang readily agreed and quickly arrived at his destination.

There was only one two-way road, and the roadside was piled high with cages.

There is also a large parking lot in the distance, which is convenient for people from surrounding counties and cities to park.

And they don't just sell dogs, they also sell cats, even rabbits, birds, and reptiles.

The three of them just wandered around.

From mixed-breed dogs to purebreds like Huskies and Labradors, there's all kinds.

"Is there a risk of getting a puppy here? Maybe we should go to a professional breeding facility?" Feng Kaiwei muttered.

Although it's very cheap, I'm afraid of getting a puppy that's only available for a short time.

"And are we buying an adult or a puppy?" Jiang Wengang asked.

Police dog bases buy puppies and raise them slowly from a young age, but by the time the dogs are grown up, they are already a year or two old. He still wants a police dog that can be used right away as soon as possible.

Shen Xin didn't say anything, and just strolled around.

many people.

Many dogs and cats are kept in cages.

Cats, in particular, are naturally timid. They were all trembling with fear and were frequently caught by the stall owners to be shown to customers. They all had their tails between their legs and looked pitiful.

As he walked, Shen Xin suddenly stopped.

In front of a middle-aged woman's stall, there was a cage with a Belgian Malinois inside.

It crouched down, staring intently at passersby, and then it saw Shen Xin. The moment their eyes met, an icon indicating favorability appeared above his head.

Shen Xin exclaimed, "Wow, this is practically a naturally born kinship physique!"
