Animal Detective

Chapter 269 People die for money
The camera was shaky, but the person wearing the navy blue thin cotton jacket, not very tall, with a buzz cut and a square face, was Fan Lei.

Zhang Hancheng quickly recalled the map in his mind.

Fan Lei's location should be in Longwang Mountain, south of Shitang Mountain, and near a resort area called Canglong Mountain Villa.

He quickly ordered, "Liu Baoqing, hurry, Canglong Manor is the closest, there should be a road leading up there."

Without saying a word, Liu Baoqing called out to Cui Xuesong and led his men into the police car.

That wasn't all. Zhang Hancheng quickly took out his phone and called Du Yong and the others, organizing them to go to the west side of Longwang Mountain and intercept them from there.

After giving the order, he looked back at the screen, placed his hand on Shen Xin's shoulder, and gently applied pressure.

He didn't speak, but what he wanted to say was already in his eyes.

In the footage, Tianyi is still yelling at Fan Lei.

Fan Lei was clearly flustered.

Because he had already seen the disguise Tianyi was wearing.

The words "police dog" are particularly prominent.

Seeing that throwing stones wouldn't scare Tianyi away, Fan Lei quickly ducked down, rummaged through his hiding place for his briefcase, hugged it to his chest, and hurried up the mountain.

He wants to run.

Shen Xin looked up at Wang Qing.

He understood and quickly replied, "Soon."

The drone is rapidly approaching.

Shen Xin picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered, "Tianyi, follow him."

In the footage, Tianyi immediately gave chase.

Shen Xin quickly glanced at the screen again; it was covered with red dots, and the one closest to Tianyi was Tiansun.

However, Shen Xin needs to find Tian Kui.

With a sharp look, he found Shen Xin.

Tiankui is located slightly behind.

It's not moving very fast; this guy is probably still dawdling and slacking off.

The tiger stripe was right next to him, the two spots almost overlapping.

Shen Xin picked up the walkie-talkie: "Tian Kui, gather all the dogs together and run forward, quick!"

Among this group of trainee police dogs, Tian Kui is the undisputed king, with extremely strong appeal.

Cai Zhe also brought up Tian Kui's camera at the opportune moment.

In the footage, the tiger stripe is dangling in front of him.

Shen Xin's voice must have startled Tiger Stripe.

Tian Kui clearly understood Shen Xin's meaning, and he suddenly darted forward.

The camera is shaking rapidly.

At the same time, a long, drawn-out wailing sound came from Tiankui.

Long and drawn-out, like the howl of a wolf.

Normal dogs sometimes tilt their heads back and howl like wolves.

As for Tian Kui, to be honest, Shen Xinzhen felt that Tian Kui was a primal being, with wolf blood.

Therefore, his howl sounds more like a wolf.

A loud, powerful roar that can be drawn out for a long time.

Dogs are social animals. In addition to communicating by smelling each other's rear ends, howling is also an important way for them to communicate.

For example, telling your companions where you are.

In the past, at night in the countryside, if one dog barked, then all the dogs in the village would start barking.

It's like everyone who was lurking in the group suddenly came out of hiding.

The howl echoed through the mountains and forests.

Shen Xin had no idea what exactly it meant.

I'd guess it's something like, "The boss is here, come closer to me immediately."

The effect is extremely strong.

Because the random red dots on the screen, in an instant, seemed to be attracted by a magnet, and quickly moved toward Tian Kui's location.

Zhang Hancheng's eyes widened in shock, and he was speechless.

He can imagine what's happening far away.

In the dappled sunlight and shadows of the mountains and forests, police dogs dart about.

Just then, Tian Kui's howl came from afar.

All the dogs stopped in their tracks, then turned around and ran toward the source of the sound.

This scene truly evokes the feeling of scattered stars filling the sky, while together they form a blazing fire.

"Tianyi, call out to me."

Shen Xin picked up the walkie-talkie again and gave the order.

Because I noticed that Tiankui had deviated from its course.

From Tianyi's perspective, Fan Lei was clutching his handbag tightly, running frantically through the woods.

There were small trees and branches everywhere, so he couldn't run very fast.

In the mountains and forests, a person can't outrun a dog, so Tianyi kept following.

He heard the command, immediately looked up, and let out a howl.

He must have heard Tiankui's howl as well.

This howl has now guided Tian Kui and the others in the right direction.

Tian Kui immediately corrected his direction, running and shouting at an alarming speed.

By this time, the drone had already reached its destination.

Mao Jiqiang operated a drone, hovering in the air to take pictures downwards, and then uttered a curse word.

Wang Qing also saw it. Through the treetops, he could clearly see that in the forest below, police dogs were rushing rapidly in one direction.

The scene resembled a pack of wolves spotting their prey and surrounding it.

The location map provides a clearer view.

The red dots from all directions resembled five clasped fingers, surrounding Fan Lei in the center.

In Tianyi's shot, Fan Lei slipped and fell to the ground with a thud.

He used both hands and feet to get up immediately and continued running forward.

He also heard Tian Kui's howl and was rapidly approaching.

Just then, the shadow of a police dog appeared in the woods ahead.

He stopped abruptly, not even having time to catch his breath, when another police dog darted out from another direction.

They're surrounded on three sides.

"Get out! Stop yelling and get out of here!"

Fan Lei picked up a stone from the ground and threw it.

Not at all.

After throwing a few more stones, seeing that it was useless, Fan Lei looked up and was about to run when Tian Kui appeared on the slope to his right.

He stood tall and proud, his robust body resembling that of a wolf, looking down at Fan Lei.

In an instant, his aura was so powerful that even the tiger stripe peeking out from behind was overwhelmed.

Fan Lei abruptly stopped, then turned his head to see the even more imposing black panther slowly approaching from behind. The panther, half a person's height, exuded an even stronger sense of oppression.

Then a line of police dogs appeared and surrounded Fan Lei.

Most importantly, not a single dog barked; they just watched Fan Lei quietly.

In this situation, it's hard for anyone not to be afraid.

"do not come!"

Fan Lei shouted in a panic, frantically rummaging through his handbag for things.

It is a kitchen knife.

One woof!
It's Black Panther; in his training, a kitchen knife is his weapon.

He instantly lunged forward, assuming a fighting stance.

When he barked, all the other dogs started barking too.

In an instant, the continuous screams startled Fan Lei so much that he trembled and fell to the ground with a thud.

He flipped his handbag over, and a package fell out from the unzipped opening.

It looks like it's wrapped in newspaper.

Fan Lei hurriedly went to pick it up.

At that moment, Black Panther saw an opportunity and made a move to charge forward.

Fan Lei hurriedly raised his knife again and retreated in a panic.

But after taking a step back, he remembered the things on the ground and hurriedly went to pick them up.

In the panic, the thing wrapped in the newspaper slipped out.

Wang Qing, who had locked onto Fan Lei below using the image transmission device, exclaimed in surprise: "Holy crap, gold bars!"

The size of a palm, golden yellow, it was no longer a gold bar, but a gold brick.

Shen Xin saw it too.

In the footage, Fan Lei roars and brandishes a kitchen knife, forcing the black leopard away before picking up gold bricks.

Zhang Hancheng beside him gave a soft snort.

Shen Xin also suddenly realized that he had been wondering before where Fan Lei would hide the money if he had received several million yuan in cash.

So what they received were gold bricks.

This year's gold price is 280 yuan per gram. One million yuan in cash can buy about 3.7 kilograms of gold.

It's only slightly heavier than a brick.

That would make running away much easier.

Black Panther did not charge.

Tian Kui shouted, as if to say, "I haven't even spoken yet, why are you getting so excited?"

Black Panther ignored him and continued to bark at Fan Lei.

We're not from the same system, so it's none of your business.

Enraged, Tiankui leaped down from the height and roared at the black panther.

They were going to start arguing first.

Tiger Stripe jumped down and barked, as if urging Tian Kui to mess with the black panther.

Let him never listen to you.

Shen Xin quickly picked up the walkie-talkie: "Tian Kui, Black Panther, step back."

The simultaneous ringing of 41 walkie-talkies startled Fan Lei.

However, Shen Xin's words were effective. Black Panther immediately took a few steps back, and Tian Kui also stopped.

Zhang Hancheng took the walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice, "Fan Lei, look up. We've locked onto you. You have nowhere to run. Surrender."

Fan Lei was taken aback. He looked up and saw a drone in the sky through the treetops.

"Surrender to your mother."

Fan Lei screamed, pointed the cleaver at Tian Kui, and shouted, "Get out of my way!"

Tian Kui didn't even look at him directly, and even seemed eager to try his luck.

Fan Lei brandished a kitchen knife and charged forward, hacking wildly.

"Tian Kui, retreat!"

Shen Xin hurriedly shouted a reminder.

It's not that I'm afraid they can't beat a 51-year-old Fan Lei.

A total of 41 dogs! If they really went for it, they could devour Fan Lei alive.

But it is not necessary.

He does have a knife, after all, and if pushed too far, he could easily injure the police dog.

Since he's already a caged beast, why take the risk?

Tian Kui nimbly dodged the attack. He was about to charge forward when he heard Shen Xin's command, and he stopped.

Fan Lei brandished a kitchen knife and managed to break through the encirclement, but he slipped and fell.

But it didn't work at all.

With 41 police dogs surrounding him and drones overhead, where could he possibly run to?

Fan Lei didn't have time to think about any of that. He broke through the encirclement and ran forward quickly.

The mountain road was rugged and covered with various miscellaneous trees, so his run was not easy.

He tripped over a tree root again.

The handbag fell out again, and the gold bars fell out and landed in the grass.

He scrambled to his feet and hurriedly searched through the bushes.

After finding it, I stuffed it into my handbag, hurriedly zipped it up, and then ran forward in a panic.

After taking only a few steps, he suddenly lost his footing.

It was a slope, and he screamed as he fell to the ground, his handbag flying quite a distance.

He didn't bother to pick up the kitchen knife; he frantically went to grab his bag.

This disheveled state is like that of a miser desperately trying to stuff gold into his pockets; the more panicked he becomes, the more gold spills out.

It vividly portrays the idea that people will die for money.

He slid down the slope using both his hands and feet, but he bumped into something in the middle and was in so much pain that he twitched.

But he still clung tightly to the handbag, panting heavily.

Behind them, all the police dogs followed, watching silently.

Fan Lei wanted to go back to pick up the kitchen knife, but seeing the scene, he gave up immediately.

He struggled to get up and try to keep running, but his legs gave way and he sat down on the ground again.

It's the right foot.

He didn't even know when he twisted his ankle, and now it hurts like he's being pricked with needles.

Fan Lei is 51, not young anymore. This erratic running around and panicked him, it seems his physical strength has reached its limit.

He clutched his bag, glanced at the menacing police dog, and suddenly let out a defiant howl.

Even through the microphone, Shen Xin and Zhang Hancheng could hear the despair in his cries.

He called out several times, then coughed violently until he could no longer make a sound.

He sat there, panting for a minute, looked at the group of police dogs behind him, then, clutching his briefcase, got up, tiptoed, and limped forward.
