Animal Detective

Chapter 237 Lacking martial ethics, they even need help.

The car stopped in front of a slightly old residential house.

This is Yu Dalin's home, right next to the main road we came from, on the edge of the village, not far from Chen Fang's rescue station.

The straight-line distance is probably two or three hundred meters.

Yu Dalin got off the bus.

The black dog he had previously yelled about killing was still lying by the door.

When the black dog saw him, it came running up to him and wagged its tail.

Yu Dalin quickly rubbed its head, then took out his key to open the door and invited Shen Xin and the other person inside.

The living room was small and cluttered with a lot of miscellaneous items.

The house itself is a very traditional type of dwelling, and it looks very dilapidated on the outside, with the paint peeling off the walls inside.

Yu Dalin enthusiastically pulled out two bottles of mineral water from the corner and handed them over, inviting the two to sit down.

Then he took out his phone and showed the two of them the so-called evidence.

It's a video from a mobile phone.

Judging from the angle of the shot, Yu Dalin should be hiding in the bushes.

Then, the photos were taken at night, and since the phone's specs are average, the images aren't very clear.

An Iveco van was parked at the entrance of Chen Fang's rescue station.

Then there was Chen Fang, and two men.

One of them was older; Li Jiahui said he was Chen Fang's husband, whom she had met before, and his name was Yang Yaotao.

There are also two younger ones.

There were four people in total, working in pairs to carry the cages onto the vehicle.

It's one of those flat metal cages used for chickens and ducks, but inside there are cats and dogs.

Because the cage is too flat, the cats are okay, but the larger dogs have to lie completely flat or on their side.

It's packed full; I reckon there's barely any room for the cats and dogs to move around in the cage.

Then the cages were stacked on top of each other, and in the video, you could faintly hear the chaotic barking of cats and dogs.

Yu Dalin pointed at the phone and said, "Officers, you see? She's selling dogs and cats. You can check license plates, right? Check this car. I've seen it several times."

"Sometimes they deliver here, sometimes they pick it up, it's different every time. And all those that are picked up are sold off."

Li Jiahui's eyebrows furrowed into a deep frown.

Shen Xin silently noted down the license plate number and then asked Yu Dalin if there was any other evidence.

Judging from the current situation, Chen Fang's rescue station may not be as she described, where she went bankrupt and devoted herself solely to rescuing stray cats and dogs.

However, judging from the content of the video, she may simply be selling rescued stray cats and dogs.

You can morally condemn her for this, but it's not illegal.

Even Yu Dalin said that animal abuse is not illegal.

Of course, if you publicly abuse animals and film it for fun, causing a very bad social impact, then you can be charged with disturbing public order.

"Also, sir, do you have any other evidence, such as whether these cats and dogs that were delivered were stolen?"

There are dog thieves; that's theft and property infringement, and it's something that can be dealt with.

Yu Dalin said, "There are security cameras outside her yard, but I don't dare to film them. However, I heard the dogs barking terribly outside, so she must be abusing them."

"Also, you can look up the evidence. Once you do, you'll have evidence."

He spoke with some emotion.

Shen Xin quickly gestured for him to sit down and calm down, then changed his perspective and asked him why he was worried about this matter.

"And why did you bring your dog with you to ask her for money before?"

Perhaps the two have some grudge against each other.

Yu Dalin snorted: "I look down on her. What a piece of trash. She doesn't make money honestly, but instead does crooked things. And she pretends to be respectable to outsiders. What a hypocrite."

"So whenever someone comes to her place, I go over and threaten her. I know she won't give me money, and even if she does, I won't take it."

"I want everyone to know that she is a big liar, full of morals and righteousness but full of depravity and shamelessness."

The old man's insults were very harsh.

Shen Xin understood. No wonder he appeared as soon as he arrived, yelling that he wanted to kill the dog.

Shen Xin pressed further, "Grandpa, you said she made a lot of money from these stray animals. Besides buying and selling stray dogs, do you know any other ways, like tricking people into donating money to her?"

If Chen Fang organizes a rescue operation, pools money to buy the dog, and then pockets the donations, this is actually a form of fraud and violates the Charity Law.

Yu Dalin hurriedly said, "Of course there are such people. People often come to her place, all driving cars. They all look wealthy. Maybe, like you said, they've donated money to her."

"Look at her, she pretends to be pitiful and tricks people into donating money to her. How wicked she is."

He continued to hurl insults, but couldn't produce any evidence.

Shen Xin, of course, did not believe these words.

Criminal cases always emphasize zero confessions because people's hearts are unpredictable; no matter how eloquently they speak, it's impossible to know whether it's true or false.

Everything depends on the evidence.

Just like the video Yu Dalin filmed.

From his perspective, he believed that Chen Fang was selling stray cats and dogs.

But perhaps it was a stroke of luck. Chen Fang found a home for a group of stray cats and dogs and then called a car to transfer them.

The reason for using chicken cages is that we couldn't find a large number of cages in a short period of time, so we wanted to make do with these stray cats and dogs.

In the video, Chen Fang didn't shout about how much money she made or how much she would collect.

What you see may not be the truth.

Ultimately, the evidence speaks for itself.

After asking again, Shen Xin had a better understanding.

Yu Dalin may have had conflicts with Chen Fang before, or he may simply dislike her. In any case, he is now eyeing Chen Fang and making all sorts of speculations and suspicions.

Many of the speculations come from the internet.

The old man is now browsing the internet on his phone, and he's really enjoying it.

However, the shelter was under closed management and there was surveillance outside. Yu Dalin was timid and had limited means, so he did not collect any useful evidence.

Most of it was just his guess.

"uncle."

Shen Xin stood up and said, "We've noted what you said. We'll discuss it later and see how to handle it. If we find anything, we'll let you know, okay?"

Shen Xin also wants the video.

Shen Xin needed to go back and think about the specifics of how to do it.

Yu Dalin was somewhat dissatisfied. Perhaps in his mind, he imagined that Shen Xin would immediately take out handcuffs, handcuff Chen Fang, and take her back to be sentenced.

So when he saw the two off, he kept holding Shen Xin's hand and said that Chen Fang was suspicious, and that his intuition was always very accurate.

This all involves intuition.

After taking one last look at the obedient black dog crouching at Yu Dalin's feet, Shen Xin and his companion said goodbye and left.

But instead of returning to the base, he went to the village.

Shen Xin was going to the village to inquire about the wolfhound at the village committee.

After driving a short distance, Li Jiahui immediately asked Shen Xin what he thought.

Shen Xin said, "I should ask you that. You've had a lot of contact with Chen Fang, what kind of person do you think she is?"

Today was the first time I met Chen Fang. I don't know her well, so how can I know if she's a human or a ghost, or if she's as she seems?

Li Jiahui first made a bold statement, saying that she had only contacted Chen Fang a total of 4 times.

"After these four interactions, I think she is a good person because the volunteers who came to help all approve of her and think she is doing a good thing."

"Then these people's opinions must explain something, right?"

Li Jiahui turned her head and asked.

As an animal doctor, she came to help twice.

There were a large number of volunteers at the time.

These people all approve of Chen Fang and praise her as a good person.

Yu Dalin was all alone.

There are situations where the truth is held by a minority, but with so many people, surely not all of them are shills hired by Chen Fang.

Shen Xin remained noncommittal, saying, "We'll talk about it later. Let's ask about that wolf-like creature first."

Their roaming around could potentially injure people, which makes the situation even more urgent.

There are people in the village committee.

The village chief was not there, but his assistant was, a young man in his early twenties named Tang Xu.

"You mean that dog? I know it."

Upon hearing Shen Xin ask about the wolfhound, he immediately perked up and said, "It's not a question of whether it bites people or not. I remember it was wandering around this area before the Lunar New Year, and it's been there for two or three months now, but it seems to have only attacked people once."

"He's still a naughty kid. During Chinese New Year, we tried to set off firecrackers on the dog, and that's when it jumped on us, but it didn't really bite; it just scared us a little."

"This dog is very smart. It probably knows that attacking people will have terrible consequences, so it usually avoids people when it encounters them."

At this point, Tang Xu's tone suddenly changed, and he said angrily, "But it steals things."

"Chickens and ducks, let's not even talk about them, there are fewer of them raised these days, but the chickens and ducks in the village have been ravaged by it."

"And sausages, as you know, we have a tradition of making sausages for the New Year here. Good heavens, it stole them before we knew it."

"It's even more formidable than a stray cat. Sometimes it hides, and you don't even know how it sneaks into the house and climbs out."

“During the Chinese New Year period, many people complained to us and asked us to find a way to get rid of the dog, but we didn’t know what to do. We couldn’t get rid of it no matter what we tried.”

"Officers, could you think of a way to get it away from me?"

He looked expectant, clearly having had a lot of headaches because of this dog.

Shen Xin thought for a moment and nodded, "That works too. We happen to be from a police dog base. We'll think of something later."

His words made Shen Xin even more interested in the dog.

To put it bluntly, it's just a copy of the tiger stripe.

Even more cunning than tiger stripes.

They have an extremely strong ability to survive and are also very intelligent.

Its sense of smell must be pretty good too, it can even sneak into people's homes to rummage for food.

Moreover, they are strong and robust, and possess sufficient aggression.

If trained properly, this would definitely be a versatile and excellent police dog.

"real!"

Upon hearing that Shen Xin and his companion were from the police dog base, Tang Xu's eyes lit up. He knew that the police dog base was located in Nanzhu, not far from here.

He immediately grasped Shen Xin's hand and thanked him repeatedly.

Shen Xin waved his hand and said no, then casually asked if he knew anything about Chen Fang's situation.

"You mean Sister Fang?" Tang Xu realized and said, "She's a really nice person. She's involved in stray animal rescue, you know. She rents that yard from the village."

“She said it would disturb the neighbors, and even raised the rent a bit. She’s been in the village for a year or two, and everything has been fine. Nothing has ever happened.”

Then he asked what was wrong.

"nothing."

Shen Xin smiled and shook his head.

Now, Yu Dalin has truly become a minority.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the two decided to take a stroll around the village.

But the wolfhound was not found.

He definitely has a home.

The two took the white dog they had chosen back to the base.

When Li Mo returned to the base, he was wearing a bite-proof suit, experiencing what it felt like to be attacked by a police dog.

At Chen Guo's command, his knight roared off to chase after Li Mo.

Li Mo took off running.

However, wearing heavy anti-bite suits, his movements appeared extremely clumsy, and he was caught up by the knight after only a few steps.

The knight is a German Shepherd, and his attack power is not low.

With a leap, it bit Li Mo's right forearm.

It held its mouth tightly, and with a powerful swing of its body following the momentum of its pounce, it managed to knock Li Mo to the ground.

They persisted until Li Mo begged for mercy, and only after Chen Guo gave the order did they relent.

Shen Xin asked Li Mo curiously what he was doing.

Do you have masochistic tendencies?
Chen Guo said, "He's afraid of dogs, so he asked us for advice on how to overcome his fear. We let him experience it, and once he gets used to it, he won't be afraid of dogs anymore."

Shen Xin felt a wave of embarrassment.

But I discovered one of Li Mo's strengths: he really knows how to find a solution when there's a problem.

I was just fooled.

Police dogs are so fierce in their attacks, aren't they afraid of leaving any psychological trauma?

Sure enough, Li Mo's face turned quite pale after taking off the anti-bite suit.

He awkwardly said he was fine, and then told Shen Xin that he had already chosen names for the three dogs he had brought back.

“My names are Tiankui, Tiangang, and Tianji. How about that? Aren’t they cool?” He said with a proud look.

Shen Xin understood immediately.

This guy is definitely a fan of Water Margin; he's clearly a member of the Thirty-Six Stars of the Heavenly Gang.

"handsome."

Shen Xin gave a thumbs up, saying that what he was called was not important.

"Oh, right, leave out Tian Kui's name, I need it."

Shen Xin plans to recruit that wolfhound.

This guy has the potential to become the king of dogs. If we train him well, the rest of the dogs will be easier to manage.

Before leaving get off work that day, Shen Xin stayed at the base to familiarize the four dogs with the environment and assign them kennels.

The food at the base is exceptional.

The municipal bureau approved a million-yuan budget, earmarked for this purpose. So, we'll follow the food standards for the police dogs at the base, which is 45 yuan per day.

We have enough chicken drumsticks to buy several pounds, enough to eat until we're stuffed.

The four dogs ate with great relish.

Shen Xin also took the opportunity to test whether the food was guarded.

This is a bad habit; we can't let it get out of hand.

As a police dog, it is even more important not to eat random things.

Shen Xin noted down two of the food-protecting behaviors and planned to correct them later.

I left work on time that day.

Back at the branch office, there was nothing for me to do.

Sun Zhao and Chen Chao had discussed it and decided that, for the time being, Sun Zhao would take charge of the city bureau's police dog project.

After all, this is a matter for the Municipal Bureau, so we can't afford to take it lightly.

The next day, Shen Xin did the same thing as before, driving to the police dog base.

However, Shen Xin brought along Black Panther, Tiger, Loki, and Loki's parents.

Today we're going to fight, with Black Panther and Tiger Stripe as backup.

Loki and his parents took him to a police dog training base.

Although Bloodhound is a hunting dog, it is a working dog that tracks prey and is not very aggressive, so Loki's dad is not taken along.

The colleagues at the police dog base were particularly fond of these two unorthodox police dogs, Black Panther and Tiger Stripe.

Upon hearing that Shen Xin was going to take two dogs to fight, Chen Guo couldn't help but sigh, "Shen Xin, to be honest, it's a good thing you're not from the police dog base."

At the police dog base, who would dare to take their dog out to fight like Shen Xin?

If a police dog is injured, it will be disciplined.

Li Jiahui wanted to go with them, but Shen Xin refused.

"Li Mo, come with me."

He graduated from a legitimate police academy, after all.

Li Mo let out a sound of surprise, gritted his teeth, and got into the car.

In the car, Tiger Stripe snuggled into Li Mo's arms in a cheeky manner.

Li Mo tensed up.

The more he did this, the more Tiger Stripe teased him.

Seeing that he was going too far, Shen Xinyi raised his hand.

The tiger-striped dog immediately shrank back and obediently lay down on the back seat.

The black panther beside him looked at him with disdain, as if to say, "Serves you right for being so cheap."

Soon, the two arrived at Baili Village.

Let's go to that vegetable patch from yesterday.

It didn't rain yesterday, so the scent will linger, enough for the tiger stripe to track the other person.

Shen Xin led his two dogs to the vegetable garden.

"Bubble, sniff around, find this dog."

Shen Xin pointed to the spot where the wolf-like blue dog had stood yesterday.

The tabby understood, sniffed it closer, and then barked.

I can smell it.

However, he didn't rush to chase after her. Instead, he turned his head and looked towards Chen Fang's rescue station.

He barked twice at Shen Xin.

【There】

Shen Xin could read his eyes and hear his inner thoughts.

This guy must have smelled that everyone over there is one of his own kind.

"This has nothing to do with you, find this dog first." Shen Xin slapped him on the head.

He glanced in the direction of the rescue station before setting off and darting into the vegetable garden.

"You should go too."

Shen Xin immediately untied the black leopard's reins, signaling him to follow.

Even if we find that wolf, the two dogs will be enough to suppress it.

Tiger stripes may look cheeky, but they are actually quite strong in combat.

Back in the day, at the Hongtu Road market in the branch office, he was a formidable figure who dominated the area and wreaked havoc.

Shen Xin then took out his phone to check the location.

Both dogs wore positioning collars.

The two vehicles, one after the other, quickly crossed the vegetable field and arrived at the northeast side of the village.

That looks like a peach orchard.

Then very quickly, the two points overlapped and stopped moving.

"found it."

Shen Xin called to Li Mo to set off.

Li Mo couldn't help but say, "Shen Xin, your two dogs are too smart! They do whatever you tell them to do, they're practically like Paw Patrol!"

Shen Xin smiled and said that the branch office's short video account was Paw Patrol.

As we followed the path and arrived near the peach grove, we could hear dogs barking from a great distance.

I hurried over and saw that it was near a grassy area on the edge of the peach grove.

The scene was a bit messy, indicating that a fight had already taken place.

Then the tiger stripe and the black panther, one in front and one behind, forced the wolf-like creature into the middle.

All three dogs had blood on them.

But no dog cared.

The black panther is a Cane Corso, a large and powerful dog, much larger than this wolfhound. Its minor injuries are nothing to worry about.

The same goes for tiger stripes.

Not only did he not care, but his eyes actually showed eagerness.

As for the wolfhound, it was taught a lesson, but it was still not convinced.

Upon meeting Shen Xin, he immediately realized that Black Panther and Tiger Stripe were in cahoots with Shen Xin.

He stared intently at Shen Xin, whimpering fiercely, his eyes seeming to say: You have no martial ethics, please ask for help!

Shen Xin understood.

He waved his hand, signaling Tiger Stripe and Black Panther to spread out a bit and keep order.

Then he pulled out his police baton and swung it away with a snap.

"Li Mo, stand further back."

Shen Xin stepped forward and waved to the wolf-like creature.

I'm going to beat you into submission today.

If you don't discipline them, they won't become police dogs.
