Animal Detective

Chapter 243 That dog is too despicable

Ma Chunxin carefully examined the air rifle in his hand.

It's heavy and solidly built. The gas cylinder is quite large, and it's not magazine-fed; it's loaded with single shots via a side lever.

That is, fire one shot and load one bullet.

It has a slow rate of fire, but it is highly accurate and can fully pressurize the gas cylinder, resulting in great power.

According to Ma Chunxin, this type of air rifle, when equipped with a scope, has an accuracy comparable to a sniper rifle within 50 meters, and its kinetic energy easily exceeds 500 joules.

In other words, the lead bullets are soft, otherwise they would be comparable to real firearms.

However, it still has considerable lethality and is undoubtedly a prohibited substance.

Coming to his senses, Ma Chunxin hurriedly asked, "Shen Xin, you said he fired a shot, but where did he shoot?"

Shen Xin pointed to a car not far away and said, "It's on the taxi window."

This kid probably didn't shoot at himself on purpose, but rather aimed at Tian Kui. Then, with the trees blocking the view, he didn't see the car coming and missed, hitting the car window instead.

Ma Chunxin and Qian Zhihai came over and took a look.

Qian Zhihai was so angry that he wanted to give the young man who fired the shot a good beating when he got back.

If it were a little further off, and Shen Xin happened to have the side window open, it would hit someone.

"Where did this come from!" Ma Chunxin demanded in a deep voice.

The two men squatted down with their heads down, not saying a word.

Just then, Ma Chunxin's phone rang. It was Liu Baoqing calling to ask what the situation was and where he was, saying he was coming with reinforcements.

Ma Chunxin quickly reported the situation.

Liu Baoqing, on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief. He was also surprised to hear someone using an air rifle and firing a shot.

Modern air rifles are completely different from the air rifles used for shooting birds back then.

Some news reports, such as about car windows being smashed, are from these modern air rifles.

It is extremely harmful and has a very negative impact.

Liu Baoqing pondered for a moment and said, "You and Xiao Zhao take the person back to the station, and then have Lao Qian and Xiao Shen go to the shelter to meet me."

"Damn, this shelter is a bit weird."

He cursed.

Even a small shelter has caused quite a bit of trouble.

After hanging up the phone, Ma Chunxin immediately told Zhao Tong to drive the suspect's van, and then he drove the two suspects back to the police station himself.

A large crowd has already gathered here to watch.

Some cars have been waiting at two traffic lights and are still reluctant to leave.

Shen Xin got back into the car and drove towards the rescue station.

"your hands!"

Li Jiahui immediately noticed Shen Xin's scratched hand.

Shen Xin glanced at it, feeling a burning pain and blood seeping out. He shook his head and said, "It's a minor problem."

He then prepared to drive off.

Li Jiahui quickly stopped him, saying, "Don't drive. There's a first-aid kit in the trunk. Let me take care of it for you. You wiped the floor; it's so dirty."

Shen Xin found it troublesome and had already opened the car door and gotten out.

Qian Zhihai laughed and said, "Alright, someone cares about you, so go and enjoy it. I'll drive."

Left with no other choice, Shen Xin had to hand over the steering wheel.

In the back seat, Li Jiahui carefully used a cotton swab to wipe the dust off Shen Xin's wound, and asked with concern if it hurt.

Shen Xin checked the location of the tiger stripe on his phone.

They didn't even have time to pay attention to those two bastards.

However, on the other hand, if these two hadn't run off on their own, they wouldn't have happened to stumble upon this incident.

Shen Xin was curious about what the two of them had gone to do.

Chen Fang previously said that Tian Kui kept barking and harassing her because when she tried to rescue Tian Kui, Tian Kui, still not changing his aggressive nature, bit and killed another dog. Then she caught Tian Kui, and that's when Tian Kui started to hold a grudge against her.

So now you're dragging Tiger Stripe along to get revenge?

I just met a buddy, so I can't wait.

"It doesn't hurt at all, you can get it done quickly, just put on a band-aid and that's it." Shen Xin quickly stopped Li Jiahui when she was about to take out the gauze.

Li Jiahui held onto Shen Xin's hand firmly, her expression resolute, and forcibly bandaged Shen Xin's hand.

About ten minutes later, the three arrived at the rescue station.

The tabby hasn't left yet.

They were still lingering near the shelter.

Before we even turned onto the path, a figure darted out of the bushes beside us.

Qian Zhihai slammed on the brakes, startled.

It is Yu Dalin.

He stopped the car and walked around to knock on the window.

Shen Xin rolled down the car window.

Yu Dalin, still looking shaken, said, "Officer, they have guns."

He gestured with his fingers.

That clearly shows that he witnessed what happened.

Shen Xin immediately asked him how many people were there.

Yu Dalin said there were two.

Shen Xin nodded slightly, telling him to go home first.

Yu Dalin didn't leave. He took out his phone and said, "Officer, I recorded a video. Do you want to see it?"

Sure enough, he did what he had done before and secretly started monitoring Chen Fang.

I don't know what the conflict between these two is.

Shen Xin told him to go home first, and that he would come to find him later.

Now everyone's using air rifles, so the stuff Yu Dalin filmed isn't that meaningful anymore.

In any case, everything that happened around Chen Fang must be thoroughly investigated.

Qian Zhihai then continued driving forward.

Before we even arrived, we could hear a commotion inside, with dogs barking all over the place.

Shen Xin saw Chen Fang.

She stood at the entrance of the shelter, constantly picking up stones from the ground and throwing them at Tian Kui, who was in the distance.

Tiankui was about ten meters away from her, barking at her.

Chen Fang was so angry that she started cursing incessantly.

At this moment, Chen Fang saw Shen Xin and hurriedly came to greet him.

Tian Kui had already darted into the bushes and disappeared.

As soon as Shen Xin got out of the car, Chen Fang said urgently, "Officer, you've come at the right time. I want to report someone with a gun."

Shen Xin quickly exchanged glances with Qian Zhihai.

She's really something, she even managed to report me.

But I must say, Chen Fang's reaction was incredibly realistic, just like that of a frightened middle-aged woman.

However, Shen Xin didn't have time to play along with her. He pushed her away and asked the two people what was going on.

"Chen Fang, think it through before you speak."

Shen Xin's expression was serious.

Qian Zhihai took out a body camera from his bag, walked around, and turned it on to record the footage in the car.

You said you remembered everything.

Chen Fang shuddered in fright and hurriedly said, "Officer Shen, what do you mean? I don't know those two people either."

“Someone from Yanling contacted me, saying he had a batch of stray animals that he couldn’t handle and wanted my help. So I asked him to deliver them to me. Those two people were deliverymen.”

"It's mainly that dog, the one you saw before. It suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kept barking at us. We chased it away, but it wouldn't leave."

"Those two were so angry that they took the gun out of the car. I was quite startled."

She completely absolved herself of any responsibility.

Shen Xin said in a deep voice, "Then who contacted you, when, what about the chat history, and the phone number?"

Chen Fang was speechless for a moment and then started to throw a tantrum.

"Officer Shen, you said we all know each other, and I even gave you a police dog, why don't you believe me?"

Just then, two police cars arrived from behind.

Liu Baoqing got out of the passenger seat of the lead car.

Three more people came down in one go, making a total of six people including the two drivers.

Seeing this scene, Chen Fang panicked even more.

Just then, a middle-aged man came around from behind the opposite wall, carrying a shovel.

Wearing a gray-black jacket, with a side-parted hairstyle and a square face, he is probably Chen Fang's husband, Yang Yaotao.

Liu Baoqing quickly stepped forward and inquired about the situation.

He glanced at the cracked windshield, his expression growing increasingly serious.

Upon hearing that this was the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the branch bureau, Chen Fang remained calm and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Liu Baoqing's sleeve, explaining that she had told the truth, but Shen Xin did not believe her.

"Sir, I really don't know those two people. Who knew they would suddenly pull out guns? I was terrified. My heart is still pounding."

Chen Fang looked aggrieved, as if she were the victim.

Yang Yaotao quickly nodded in agreement.

He was somewhat timid and hesitant, like an honest man.

Liu Baoqing wouldn't believe a single word of this nonsense.

When we had dinner together yesterday, he and Chen Chao had their arms around each other's shoulders. He seemed like a very kind person, but he was quite decisive in his actions.

Liu Baoqing had someone produce the summons on the spot, then signed it himself, waved his hand, and signaled to take Chen Fang and Yang Yaotao back for questioning.

Don't say it's inextricably linked to those two.

Even if they have absolutely no connection, as eyewitnesses and relevant personnel at the scene, they have ample reason to take the two people back for questioning.

As soon as the summons was issued, Chen Fang screamed in fright, shouting that she wouldn't go, as she had a bunch of cats and dogs waiting for her to take care of them.

Seeing that her tantrums were useless, she lay down on the ground and screamed that the police were arresting people haphazardly.

Liu Baoqing didn't care, waved his hand, and had someone forcibly put Chen Fang into the car.

Yang Yaotao didn't resist and obediently got into the car.

They left first, and Liu Baoqing followed Shen Xin to review the scene. He gestured, indicating that it was just as Shen Xin had guessed: he was trying to hit Tian Kui, but the shot went astray and hit the windshield.

Shen Xin nodded.

The only problem is that we don't know why these two people would pull out an air rifle to shoot a dog.

Just as I was thinking about the dog, a head popped out from the bushes in the distance.

It's a tiger stripe.

He lowered his head and approached Shen Xin cautiously, his tail wagging like a pendulum.

[Wrong]

Shen Xin also heard his inner thoughts.

This guy is afraid of Shen Xin.

Then he called out twice to the bushes behind him, as if to say, "Don't hide anymore."

Then, Tian Kui walked out with his head held high and chest out.

However, after arriving in front of Shen Xin, he still lowered his head guiltily and quietly stood to the side.

Liu Baoqing curiously examined the two dogs. When he looked at Tian Kui, Tian Kui squatted on the ground, tilted his head slightly, and looked at him with a disdainful gaze.

It's as if it's saying, "What are you looking at?"

Liu Baoqing raised an eyebrow slightly and pointed at Tian Kui, saying, "Xiao Shen, this is the police dog you're preparing to train, right? I think this one is pretty good, can you save it for us?"

He's fallen for her.

Shen Xin said, "Captain Liu, this guy is a troublemaker, just like this bastard."

Shen Xin kicked the tiger stripe.

I can guarantee it was this guy's crazy idea.

Their talents and skills influence each other, and as their affinity increased, these animals also became a bit smarter.

Therefore, this escape was definitely instigated by Tiger Stripe and Tian Kui.

"So, it might not be suitable for our criminal investigation team. I have two blood-tracking dogs that are best at tracking bloodstains and scents. That's more suitable for us. I'll save one for you later."

Based on the needs of the Criminal Investigation Division, searching for blood is clearly more suitable.

Liu Baoqing nodded and said that was fine.

But the more I look at Tiankui, the more I like him.

That haughty little look in her eyes is absolutely captivating.

He then went to the rescue station and saw cats and dogs that had probably just been brought there, huddled in cages, shivering.

One of them had something clearly wrapped around its neck, a bloody mess, and it would occasionally stretch its neck and gasp for breath.

When Li Jiahui saw this, she frowned and said that this was when the dog was a puppy, and a rope was tied around its neck. It was never untied, and as the dog grew bigger, the rope got stuck around its neck.

This means that the longer a dog lives, the faster it dies.

At this moment, Tian Kui, who was following behind, suddenly rushed in and shouted at the dogs inside through the fence.

The cats and dogs inside were so frightened that they huddled in the corner.

The tiger stripe, on the other hand, is as proud as a king surveying his territory, wandering around everywhere.

Liu Baoqing only glanced at it briefly and didn't even go into the rooms inside.

He is indeed decisive and efficient, but he knows very well what he can and cannot do.

Taking Chen Fang back was to inquire about the air rifle and to assist in the investigation.

The two people are not suspects yet.

There is no direct evidence pointing to Chen Fang in the fraud case.

Therefore, a summons can be issued, but a search warrant is not yet feasible.

Li Jiahui decided to stay and watch over Tiger Stripe and Tian Kui, and also take care of the stray dog ​​with the neck injury.

She would contact people at the base and ask those who had been there before for help.

Shen Xin drove to the new district branch office.

This car is the evidence.

The municipal bureau is located in the new district, but the branch bureau has a dedicated office location.

Like the Municipal Bureau, they moved their offices to a brand new building just two years ago.

Inside the interrogation room, Ma Chunxin was questioning the suspect who fired the shot.

This man is named Wang Huiquan, 28 years old, from Yanling, with single eyelids and a messy perm.

"You have quite a few criminal records."

In the observation room next door, Liu Baoqing let out a soft hum.

The computer records show that this guy has a total of eight criminal records.

Involved in fighting, petty theft, he is undoubtedly a repeat offender.

The other person, the driver, was named Xu Zhicai. He also had a criminal record, but fewer: one for fighting and one for theft.

Wang Huiquan has been detained multiple times and has even served six months in prison; he's a typical seasoned veteran.

He was very flustered when he ran, and he was also very scared when he was caught.

Now that he's calmed down, he ignores Ma Chunxin's questions and just keeps saying that he was injured when Shen Xin attacked him, and he wants the police to treat him.

Ma Chunxin is slowly wearing him down.

Despite the overwhelming evidence, he didn't seem to care.

He directly told Ma Chunxin, "You saw me fire the gun, what are you asking? Just sentence him, the worst that can happen is a year in jail."

Ma Chunxin wasn't angry and continued to argue with him.

Now we need to know how to buy the gun, because there are no relevant channels in China.

Are there any other guns?

At the same time, whether or not they used an air rifle for other purposes.

Liu Baoqing shook his head slightly and went to the next room.

That is, the driver Xu Zhicai's side.

Compared to Wang Huiquan, who had been to the palace multiple times, Xu Zhicai was much more timid.

He is now trying his best to clear himself of any involvement and shift the blame onto Wang Hui.

He claimed he fired the gun, and that he bought it, but he didn't know where he bought it.

I'm here today to deliver the dog.

He explained why Wang Huiquan fired the shot.

"Officer, really, that dog is so despicable."

It turned out that when the two arrived at the rescue station and were unloading the cages, two dogs suddenly jumped out from the side.

Bark at them.

Chen Fang was furious and dragged Yang Yaotao to chase the dog away.

That's a dog, of course you can't catch it.

They chased it away, but it came back again after a while, and this happened several times.

One of them was particularly despicable.

"You chase him for one step, he runs for one step; you stop, he stops too, and he even turns his head to look at you. His eyes feel just like a person, as if he's shouting at you, 'Come and chase me if you dare!'"

"Wang Huiquan chased after him and tripped over it."

"And then you know what, that dog even pooped right in front of you!"

Xu Zhicai vividly described the situation at the time, and he himself became a little angry as he spoke.

"He doesn't finish pooping all at once. He turns his butt towards you, poops a little bit, then holds it back. You chase him, he runs away, and then stops to poop again."

"Seriously, I've never seen such despicable dogs. Wang Hui was so angry that he took the air gun to shoot them."

Observation room.

Liu Baoqing and the others all turned to look at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin's eyes twitched awkwardly.

Without a doubt, this is a tiger stripe.

According to Xu Zhicai's description, if you were in that situation, and a dog was jumping around in front of you, defecating and urinating, trampling on your dignity as a two-legged animal, most people would not be able to stand it.

The police officer who was questioning Xu Zhicai stopped him and told him to say something useful.

For example, who arranged for him to deliver the goods, why he was delivering to the shelter, and where the gun came from.

When asked this question, Xu Zhicai started to play dumb, saying he didn't know or wasn't sure, and that he was just a deliveryman.

Liu Baoqing withdrew his gaze, pondered for a moment, and then turned to ask Shen Xin, "Xiao Shen, what do you think of this case? What are your thoughts?"

Shen Xin did not show any modesty in front of Liu Baoqing.

I've carefully considered the information I've received over the past few days.

For example, the descriptions given by Li Dian and others, as well as the situations of Zhang Fan and Wang Huiquan.

Shen Xin thought of a crucial question.

"Captain Liu, based on the information we have so far, Chen Fang organizes people to donate money to rescue cats and dogs, and then collaborates with pet hospitals to take kickbacks."

"They even use methods such as pet blood donation for matching, live streaming, and exploiting sympathy to make money."

Li Dian turned the rescue station into a business, and so did Chen Fang.

However, she went even further, belonging to the category of evil cultivators.

Shen Xin continued, "Then there's a very important question: where did she get all these stray cats and dogs?"

"And how did she find out that someone was transporting stray cats and dogs?"

“There are also videos provided by Yu Dalin, like Zhang Fan, and this time Wang Huiquan, all of whom are transferring cats and dogs to her rescue station.”

“Where did all these cats and dogs come from? I think there should be a group specifically tasked with capturing and even stealing these stray cats and dogs.”

Zhang Fan was clearly the dog thief.

And then there's Wang Huiquan; he gets his hands on air rifles, who knows if it's not for stealing dogs?

"So I think it's better to find out who provides her with cats and dogs first, rather than trying to find a breakthrough from Chen Fang's side."

She needs cats and dogs to gain sympathy; it's not like the couple should go looking for them themselves.

The gifts from kind-hearted people were clearly not enough, so it can only be said that someone was specifically assigned to provide them for her.

It is very likely that they are a gang that specializes in catching and stealing stray dogs.

"This group of people is very likely from Yanling."

Zhang Fan was from Yanling.

Wang Huiquan and Xu Zhicai are the same; they are both from Yanling. Today, this Maxus car also has a Yanling license plate.

This information clearly points to a group in Yanling that specializes in providing stray cats and dogs.
