Animal Detective

Chapter 106 Tactical Vest
Ding Yuwei gave a wry smile and shook her head to indicate no.

“This case was handled personally by Captain Sun. When I looked at the case file, I saw that they had investigated in every possible direction. So how could I possibly find anything useful?”

In 11, Sun Zhao was still the deputy captain, with top-notch professional skills.

So, just as Ding Yuwei said, Sun Zhao must have investigated every possible avenue.

Shen Xin slumped back onto the table, remembering Guo Chunping's investigation of Liu Laibin.

More detailed information was pieced together through the testimonies of Li Weiqin and others.

Guo Chunping did indeed search for a whole year.

His approach was the same as the local police's: visiting and asking questions, without using any special techniques.

Li Weiqin probably knew more about it, saying that Guo Chunping drove a motorcycle around that road, asking any trucks that stopped to rest.

I still remember the license plate.

It is said that he filled five thick notebooks with his writing.

In other words, Guo Chunping brought the police's investigative tool of the time, namely, investigation and visits, to its fullest potential.

Of course, luck also played a part.

Shen Xin felt that the same approach could be taken in Xiao Hong's case.

Or rather, this is the only way.

"I'm going out."

Shen Xin suddenly sat up.

Ding Yuwei also jumped up, looking at Shen Xin expectantly, as if to say, "Take me with you!"

Shen Xin said, half-laughing and half-crying, "I'm not going out, I'm going to the technical department."

Ding Yuwei said "oh" and followed.

Anyway, her current job is paperwork, just like Shen Xin's before, she has to write his paperwork for a month.

Shen Xin ran up to the third-floor technical department and found the technician in charge of police equipment.

A young man in his thirties named Cai Zhe.

"In other words, if you want to make a collar for your dog, it needs to integrate a pinhole camera, then it also needs to have location tracking, remote transmission capabilities with a SIM card, and finally, long battery life."

After listening to Shen Xin's request, Cai Zhe gave Shen Xin a resentful glance.

"Honestly, if I had that kind of ability, I wouldn't be a policeman; I would just start my own company."

These individual requirements are easy to fulfill, but according to Shen Xin's requirements, unlike the pet dashcams that are commonly sold now, it is highly integrated into a collar, which makes it difficult.

The cost of just the mold alone is unimaginable.

Cai Zhe then asked, "Aren't there pet dashcams online? Why don't you buy one?"

Shen Xinxin asked, "How do you know you didn't buy it, or that you bought an expensive one?"

But the problem is that the battery life is too short.

Shen Xin wants a long battery life, at least eight hours or more.

High-definition cameras are best for precise positioning.

"There's nothing I can do," Cai Zhe shook his head.

However, just as Shen Xin was about to leave with regret, Cai Zhe suddenly said, "Why don't you make it a vest, like the ones our police dogs wear?"

Police dogs wear vests to protect themselves from stabs and cuts.

Cai Zhe continued, "If you wear a vest, I can provide all the functions you need. Just use it as a tactical vest. Put in a few power banks, and it can last for eight hours, let alone eighty hours."

"And that camera, I can even get you a camera stabilizer, it'll be absolutely clear."

"Oh right, I also saw on the news that Matsuura has put those smart helmets on their police dogs, which are connected to muzzles and have cameras for remote searches and stuff."

Vest?

The image of Black Panther wearing a black tactical vest flashed through Shen Xin's mind.

Don't be surprised, he'd probably be quite handsome.

"Sure, could you help me with that?" Shen Xin quickly replied.

Get two sets first.

No, get two sets for the Great Beauty Bully too.

You never know when you might need these two cats.

Black Panther and his team have the government funding the purchase; they have plenty of money left over for buying dogs anyway.

If it's beautiful, then I'll just pay for it myself, it doesn't matter.

"I still need to change your identity," Cai Zhe muttered to himself.

Shen Xin immediately whispered a few words in Ding Yuwei's ear.

She quickly brought over two cases of Red Bull.

"Thank you for your help."

The technical department works day and night on cases, so they need this thing.

Cai Zhe smiled and said, "Don't do that again next time," and told Shen Xin to go and measure the dog's size.

After spending these past few days together, Black Panther's favorability rating has reached 6 bars. Tiger Stripe's rating, however, remains unchanged at 4 bars.

He followed the path of obedience.

However, this guy was very smart, and he quickly figured out whether Shen Xin really wanted to beat him up or was just threatening him.

If it's the latter, he might even pretend to be frightened.

It can even be so scary that people will poop and pee.

But my favorability rating just won't increase.

So Shen Xin immediately knew that this guy was pretending.

Since they couldn't keep beating him, Shen Xin felt they might need to find other ways to deal with such a stubborn person.

"Shen Xin, did you hit him again?"

Ding Yuwei followed along. As soon as she arrived, the tabby cat came close to her, wagging its tail and looking pitiful with its little eyes.

He was perceptive and knew that Ding Yuwei was soft-hearted, so he would plead on her behalf.

"No."

Shen Xin glared at him and beckoned Black Panther to come up and take his measurements.

Black Panther is still the best.

"And you, come here." Shen Xin snapped.

Tiger Stripes immediately looked at Ding Yuwei.

Ding Yuwei slapped him, both amused and exasperated, before running over.

"Shen Xin, what are you doing?"

Ding Yuwei asked curiously.

As Shen Xin measured, he said, "Training."

I feel like I can start some professional training now.

Shen Xin wanted to try out all the skills, including tracking, drug detection, bomb detection, and protection, to see which one was more suitable before deciding on the direction of his training.

And now, let's start with tracking.

Two days later, Cai Zhe's custom vest was finished.

It's very crude; for example, to achieve the data transfer function, they simply stuffed a mobile phone into the vest.

However, its functionality is excellent, perfectly meeting Shen Xin's needs.

That evening, Shen Xin took his two dogs and Da Mei with him and drove to the Ririshun Logistics Park on the Liyang Highway section of National Highway 319.

The Liyang Highway covers the section from Dazhang Village to Guanzhuang Village.

According to the map, the closest freight station to the scene of the crime is the Ririshun Logistics Park.

Although the leadership has not yet decided what unsolved cases to investigate next, or even whether I will be allowed to continue investigating unsolved cases.

But I reckon it'll be the same as always.

You've solved two cold cases in a row, which shows you have the talent for it. If you don't do it, who will?

And it's highly likely that, just like last time, Shen Xin will be allowed to suggest which case is suitable.

Let's start with the Xiao Hong case then.

His wife has been constantly inquiring about the case for six years, and he has to make another effort for her sake.

While I still have time, I'll train Black Panther and his two dogs.

Upon arriving at the logistics park, Shen Xin glanced at the back row.

Da Mei wasn't afraid of the two fierce dogs at all.

Of course, Black Panther didn't even give her a second glance.

But after spending so much time together, the smells must have become familiar.

Da Mei was also wearing a vest.

Shen Xin opened the door and gave a final reminder: "Go out and have some fun, but remember, don't get caught."

Da Mei meowed, completely understanding.

They were even eager to try it out.

She still longs for the freedom of the wild.

"Go."

Shen Xin put down Da Mei.

She immediately disappeared into the night.

With location tracking, there's no fear of losing it.

Moreover, Da Mei is very smart. Since she was told not to get caught, she won't contact anyone else.

I'll bring Black Panther and the other guy over first thing tomorrow morning.

When the time comes, let Black Panther and the others track Da Mei's whereabouts, while I go to visit the logistics park. We can do both without any delay.
