Animal Detective

Chapter 247 Black Cat Sheriff
The proposed solution by Li Jiahui is another story.

The case is still under investigation, so we certainly can't make a big fuss about it.

However, some injured cats and dogs need to be treated.

For example, the four cats whose hind legs were broken during the surprise attack.

Shen Xin temporarily locked them up. He came here today hoping Li Jiahui could help him deal with them.

I even brought some medicine with me when I came.

Now, these four cats are lying in the cage, and they shrink into the corner whenever someone approaches.

Looking at their limp hind legs, and hearing that they had been broken while still alive, Li Jiahui sighed and asked Shen Xin for help to move the cage onto the car.

In this situation, an X-ray is needed to determine the best course of action. If the procedure is successful, there is a possibility that the person will be able to stand up and walk again in the future.

As for the expenses, she said she would pay for them herself.

She said that since she's single, she rarely spends money.

Then Shen Xin and she together selected the cats and dogs that needed to be treated at a veterinary hospital.

The purebred cats and dogs in front were "taken care of" by Gu Shaolong and his team fairly well, but the stray cats and dogs that were deboned and sold for meat were just stuffed haphazardly into cages, and their defecation and urination were completely ignored.

There were some empty cages on site, so Shen Xin and Li Jiahui separated the cats and dogs.

It's easier to handle if we go back.

If they're all crammed together, problems are more likely to occur.

Colleagues from Wutang District who were in charge of sealing off the scene also came to help.

Taking this opportunity, Shen Xin also screened the stray dogs.

Forget about purebred dogs; I'll have to figure out a way to return them to their owners later.

Most stray dogs are very timid. When Shen Xin tried to catch them while wearing gloves, some of them kept hiding in the corner of the cage.

They emit a piercing scream as soon as you touch them, and often lose control of their bladder and bowels.

Even if you force them out, comforting them won't help; they're all trembling with fear.

They are not inanimate objects; they have eyes and brains. With so many of their kind locked up together, they have witnessed the fate of their fellow beings.

Their sense of smell is quite good; they can smell the blood in the air and the smell of burning their own kind.

Shen Xin shook his head inwardly.

Even if someone adopts a cat or dog like this, it would be very difficult to raise it properly.

In the end, it will most likely be abandoned.

Shen Xin pulled another one out of the cage.

A white dog with mixed colors, very thin but with a big belly, looked like it was sick.

It emitted a low whimper, as if trying to express its protest.

But I was also afraid and dared not.

Shen Xin put it on the ground, and it didn't dare to move an inch, but its two legs were trembling like leaves.

Suddenly, Li Jiahui exclaimed softly, pointing at it and saying, "Shen Xin, is it crying?"

It really is.

The white dog's eyes were full of tears, and then it froze, not daring to resist, just looking at Shen Xin and the other person with fear.

"It's fine."

Shen Xin reached out to touch its head, but it flinched as if it had been electrocuted and immediately stopped moving.

When Shen Xin's hand landed on its head, and it saw that Shen Xin was only stroking it gently, it suddenly came back to life and frantically licked Shen Xin's hand.

He licked it even through his gloves.

It lowered its body, tilted its head back, and its hind legs trembled like a sieve, yet it was still frantically licking its hands.

A desperate attempt to curry favor in an extremely humble manner.

It seemed to be pleading with Shen Xin to spare it, that it still wanted to live.

"Oh shit."

The colleagues squatting behind couldn't stand it anymore and cursed Gu Shaolong.

Li Jiahui reached out and touched its belly.

It seemed even more frightened, licking even more intensely, and trembling as it rubbed its head against Shen Xin's hand.

Li Jiahui frowned: "It seems she's pregnant, and she should be giving birth soon."

Shen Xin suddenly realized.

No wonder they have such a strong will to survive.

Even though they were already so scared, they still tried their best to be friendly.

"Don't be afraid, I will take care of you."

Shen Xin took off his gloves, rubbed her head, and said something comforting.

Then I got a dog carrier and brought her inside.

Shen Xin planned to take this back to the base and discuss it after the baby was born.

Li Jiahui sighed and continued working.

Another cage was opened.

Shen Xin took the cats out one by one, and if there were no problems, he put them in a separate cage.

But generally, they're not very good.

Not only were they covered in feces and urine, but many also had injuries.

Cats are even more timid. If so many are kept together, they will likely fight due to stress.

Just then, with a whoosh, a dark figure suddenly darted out from the depths of the cage.

It was incredibly fast, disappearing from under Shen Xin's arm in a flash.

In the rush, Shen Xin could barely make out that it looked like a black cat.

It was incredibly fast, flying close to the ground, and hurtled straight toward the wall.

Then he leaped into the air.

That jump was extremely high, almost two meters high.

Furthermore, at the highest point, there is a movement where one steps on the wall to gain momentum and move upwards.

Unfortunately, Gu Shaolong built a high wall and fence, with the wall itself being more than three meters high.

So this guy still fell down.

But it didn't stop after landing. As if startled, it ran around wildly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

A colleague behind exclaimed, "What the heck? It's running so fast!"

Shen Xin didn't see it clearly.

Thinking back carefully, it seems to have been a black cat, the pure black kind.

In ancient times, this pure black cat was apparently called a "mysterious cat".

Shen Xin said, "Let's ignore it for now; it's probably just scared."

It's surrounded by high walls; it can't escape.

For now, continue to separate these cats and dogs into different cages.

After all that effort, they still couldn't find a suitable stray dog.

Pick out the cats and dogs that need treatment, load them into the car, and have Li Jiahui take them to the vet for treatment.

Shen Xin closed the door again and went to look for the black cat from earlier.

I searched the yard, but it wasn't there.

It was inside the house. Shen Xin closed the door and searched through the rooms one by one, and soon found it.

When we found it in the room where cat and dog food was stored, it was frantically rummaging through a bag of cat food.

I don't know how long they were locked up; they must have been starving.

As soon as it entered, it spotted Shen Xin and turned to breathe on him.

However, it didn't have airplane ears; it just grinned, revealing a mouthful of fangs, looking ferocious.

Its expression was as if it were not a cat, but a fierce tiger.

The next moment, it pounced over in a flash.

Shen Xin instinctively raised his arm.

Then I felt my arm get hit hard, and I quickly swung it away.

The black cat was flung away and landed lightly on a pile of dog food. It still whimpered at Shen Xin, eager to try.

Shen Xin was secretly surprised.

Cats are generally timid, and very few of them will actively attack humans.

Shen Xin glanced at the sleeve. It was springtime, so he was wearing a coat; otherwise, he would have been badly injured. He warned, "Don't move. If you want something to eat, I'll get it for you."

Surprisingly, it seemed to understand, and its aggressive posture of crouching down softened somewhat.

While remaining cautious, Shen Xin opened a bag of cat food and poured some onto the ground.

It landed on the ground with a whoosh and wolfed it down.

I was really hungry.

Shen Xin finally had a moment to examine it closely.

It has yellow eyes and is entirely black, without a single white hair.

It is the most authentic black cat.

Its body is slender and its limbs are agile, making it look like a black panther.

Judging by its size, its combat power must be considerable.

Shen Xin reached out his hand, wanting to touch it.

It suddenly raised its head, exhaled a breath, and a cold glint seemed to flash in its eyes.

Shen Xin said, "Hey, I saved you and gave you food, can't I even touch you?"

It stared intently at Shen Xin, stopped breathing on him, and lowered its head to continue wolfing down its food.

I think I understood and acquiesced.

Shen Xin carefully reached out and touched its head.

It did not hide.

Although it had been hungry for a long time and was kept in a cage, and was a bit dirty, you could still feel its silky fur.

"Slow down."

Shen Xin rubbed its head, saw a bottle of mineral water nearby, opened it, found a disposable bowl, and poured some water for it.

It wolfed down every single kibble.

Not enough, it looked up and meowed at Shen Xin, then raised its front paw and pointed at the cat food.

Shen Xin was surprised; this guy was very intelligent.

I vaguely remember that domestic cats are generally quite intelligent, and among domestic cats, the pure black tabby cat is even more intelligent.

This thing seems to be able to ward off evil spirits.

But glossy black fur isn't enough; under sunlight, it must have a reddish tinge within its blackness to be considered a true black cat.

Shen Xin pointed at the cat food and waved his hand, saying, "You've eaten quite a lot, and this is all junk cat food. I'll take you to eat something better later."

It stared at Shen Xin for a while, then walked over and lightly leaped into Shen Xin's arms.

Shen Xin thought to himself, "Holy crap, it actually understood."

You have to understand that she has her own talent, and Da Mei and the others only understood her meaning after they had a very high level of goodwill towards her.

This thing is weird.

Holding it in my arms, it felt quite heavy.

I took a look, and it's a younger brother.

Once outside, the sunlight shining down made its black fur appear reddish.

That's the authentic one.

So smart, I wonder how Gu Shaolong and his gang captured her.

It must be because he overate.

Shen Xin wanted to put it in the cage first, but it refused, hissing at Shen Xin and grabbing his clothes to climb onto his shoulder.

Shen Xin then let it be.

Shen Xin asked his colleague about the case.

Basically, the goal is to gather evidence and then arrest people based on the records.

Gu Shaolong's account book was a real help.

Two hours later, Li Jiahui returned with a bunch of cats and dogs.

She said the pet hospital also reduced the fees, so she didn't spend much money.

"Hey, why did you end up with Black Cat Sheriff?"

Li Jiahui saw the black cat following behind her.

Shen Xin was taken aback.

Believe it or not, it really is Black Cat Detective.

However, Black Cat Detective is black and white, but this one is pure black.

"Did you hear that? From now on, I'll call you Sheriff."

Shen Xin waved to it, and it immediately jumped into his arms.

While waiting for Li Jiahui, Shen Xin played with it for a while.

Very intelligent and perceptive.

They are quite independent, and so far, no favorability icon has appeared above their head.

Shen Xin decided to take this rare, authentic black cat home and raise it.

I was thinking of keeping it at the branch office.

If we have police dogs, can we also have police cats?

From now on, we won't need Da Mei for reconnaissance work.

Da Mei has long fur and is quite pretty, making her quite eye-catching.

Most importantly, she's become very close to her mother, who's always by her side and is practically spoiling her rotten.

His athletic ability has declined sharply.

Unlike this guy, which is as black as coal, you can't even spot it if it stands in the shadows at night.

This would be perfect for reconnaissance.

Most importantly, he's smart.

Even without the influence of favorability ratings, he is still so clever.

Once you gain favor, it truly becomes a spirit.
