Animal Detective

Chapter 273 The Assessment, Please Be Soft-Hearted
On the playground, three fire rings were arranged in a row, burning with flames, and the heat was intense.

Li Jiahui blew a whistle to attract Tian Kui's attention, then led Tian Kui forward. However, when they were close to the fire circle, he suddenly stopped and went around it.

"Tian Kui!"

Li Jiahui shouted, pretending to be stern, "I already said this is the last chance. If you don't finish, you won't get dinner tonight. But look what happened, you went around in circles again."

Tian Kui called out to Li Jia Hui twice, then turned his head away arrogantly, looking completely unconcerned.

Li Jiahui frowned, somewhat at a loss.

She waved to Shen Xin and said, "Shen Xin, why don't you do it?"

The other police dogs did a good job in the fire-pushing exercise, even Tianqiao, who always lacked a sense of security and clung to Shen Xin, was able to complete it.

Just Tiankui.

Li Jiahui repeatedly told him that jumping through the fire ring wasn't that scary and wouldn't hurt him, but it still didn't work.

The problem isn't that I'm timid.

When Shen Xin was with him, Tian Kui drilled very well, cleanly and neatly, and could easily drill through three fire rings.

When he was carrying it with him, Tiankui did not drill.

Therefore, Li Jiahui believes that she has not gained Tiankui's approval. Simply put, he is not convinced of her abilities and therefore does not obey her.

Shen Xin shook his head and said, "That won't do. They'll be handed over to someone else later. If they perform well in front of me but not in front of others, then they're not qualified."

Compared to other police dogs, this problem is relatively minor.

Just like a tiger stripe, so naughty, he was quite obedient when Shen Xin wasn't around, at least he could be ordered around by Sun Zhao and Chen Chao.

And what about Tiankui?

Shen Xin felt that it was because he was still quite wild.

It's like a wolf that only obeys the wolf king's commands.

It's difficult to command ordinary people who don't have his approval.

Li Mo came up with a terrible idea: "Why don't you fight him?"

If we fight and subdue Tian Kui, there shouldn't be any problems.

Tian Kui understood and looked at Li Jia Hui with eager anticipation.

Li Jiahui was provoked and gritted her teeth, saying, "Fine."

"What do you mean, 'okay'?"

Shen Xin interrupted her, glaring at Li Mo with annoyance.

This guy was definitely used as a target during hunting and biting training, and after being used so many times, he became vengeful.

Shen Xin said, "There's no other way, it has to be this way, even if it doesn't work."

Without absolute obedience, the requirements of this project cannot be met.

Can only be eliminated.

At that point, we'll probably have to take it back to the branch office to raise it.

Moreover, Tiankui is different from other police dogs; he doesn't respond to the idea of ​​winning them over with love.

Li Jiahui beckoned to Tian Kui, squatted down to scratch his itch, and then said, "Shen Xin, actually this is quite difficult for them."

"As you know, in our base, once a police dog has a designated handler, it's almost never changed."

A police dog typically only works with one handler throughout its entire service.

It's all for the purpose of building a deep bond.

In the most extreme case, such as when the handler resigns, a new handler might be assigned. However, if the dog doesn't get along with the new handler, it won't be forced, and the police dog might be allowed to retire early.

Li Jiahui found it really difficult to be like Shen Xin, who had just finished his training and was then sent to an unfamiliar place and handed over to a complete stranger.

Especially for special dogs like Tiankui.

The more special someone is, the more loyal they become. Once they've acknowledged Shen Xin as their master, they won't easily switch sides.

Shen Xin understood this as well, and rubbed Tian Kui's head, saying, "Then what should we do? Let's try again."

The training continued until the evening glow filled the sky.

On the one hand, Shen Xin needs these police dogs, Tian Kui, to be multi-skilled.

It can track, detect drugs, defuse bombs, and prevent explosions.

With many training subjects, it naturally takes a lot of time.

On the other hand, with the spring competition just around the corner, Shen Xin decided to participate and treat this competition as a graduation exam for these police dogs.

With time so tight, we definitely need to make the most of our time to practice.

Moreover, it's not just Tian Kui and his team; the entire police dog base is now in full swing with training.

As before, after the daily training, the police dogs would be given some free time to roam.

Tiankui also often plays with the police dogs at the base.

He especially got along well with one of the German Shepherds named Blaze.

That won't work now.

They all need to train extra, and the best police dogs need to be selected internally to compete. Even this little bit of free time needs to be utilized.

In this atmosphere of intense training, time flies by.

Half a month passed in a flash.

On March 20th, the base organized a major assessment.

The entire police dog base has a total of 37 active-duty police dogs. Six dogs will be selected from six categories to form a team to participate in the competition.

Tang Changhong's original idea was to have Shen Xin select six police dogs from among Tian Kui and his team to compare with the police dogs at the base.

Shen Xin rejected him.

Tang Changhong said that, but Shen Xin couldn't be too honest.

For the police dogs and their handlers at the base, this competition is a chance to win honors.

If you rely on your talent advantage and end up taking all the other people's competition spots, even if they don't say anything, wouldn't they mind?

After all, I'm an outsider, and these police dogs I have will eventually be given to other regions.

Shen Xin then suggested that he could get a separate spot, like a wildcard entry, and bring his dog to the competition.

If they actually achieve good results, it will count as a contribution to the base.

This made Tang Changhong feel embarrassed.

However, he eventually agreed and then asked Meng Fuqiang to help Shen Xin get a separate spot in the competition.

The meeting time is set for 9:00 AM, at the main playground.

When Shen Xin arrived in the morning, everyone he encountered would proactively ask him to be lenient.

The people at the police dog base have all witnessed how quickly Tian Kui and his team have progressed.

Even more unbelievable is that Tian Kui and his classmates practiced multiple subjects together, making the difficulty level increase exponentially.

Given their previous success in capturing Fan Lei, the instructors could only hope for leniency.

"It's not that exaggerated." Shen Xin replied with a smile, then went to the kennel and released Tian Kui and the others.

Tianqiao immediately moved closer to Shen Xin, still clinging to him as always.

Although she had to nurse five puppies, living at the police dog base meant she was well-fed and cared for, so Tianqiao not only didn't become physically exhausted, but actually gained a lot of weight.

Tian Kui also came over and called out to Tian Qiao.

Tianqiao immediately and obediently hid to the side, leaving Tiankui to monopolize Shen Xin.

But her eyes remained fixed on Shen Xin.

Shen Xin gave Tian Kui a light kick, then said, "You'd better perform well today. It's time to make us proud, you know?"

Whether it's light or heavy-handed punishment, I'm not taking up any spots myself, so I can't let people look down on me.

Although Tian Kui is a bit disobedient, his abilities are undeniable. He learns professional skills in various fields extremely quickly, and his overall capabilities are definitely the strongest.

Tiankui barked.

【Understand】

The assessment will be conducted on the main playground.

Then it is divided into six projects: security and prevention, drug detection, explosives detection, bloodstain search, hard ground tracking, and mountain tracking.

Among them, security and prevention include hunting and riot control.

Mountain tracking is quite different from hard-surface tracking.

Mountainous environments are simpler, but they put police dogs to a greater physical challenge, making them quite difficult.

All 37 police dogs at the base were present.

Li Jiahui also participated in the assessment, leading her Simba.

As for the 38 police dogs on the other side, the presence is even more impressive.

Before Tang Changhong could finish speaking, Tian Kui had inadvertently gone over to flirt with Liehuo.

Liehuo is a female German Shepherd, trained to track.

His instructor, Tang Kaihua, saw Tian Kui constantly getting closer to Lie Huo's buttocks and, with a mix of amusement and exasperation, shooed him away.

"Tian Kui!"

Shen Xin scolded him, and Tian Kui ran back dejectedly.

Liehuo, who had been looking straight ahead, turned his head to glance at Tiankui, his gaze following him.

Tang Changhong coughed lightly, pretending not to see it, and after finishing his speech, he directly signaled for the assessment to begin.

The first project is crime prevention.

First, there are the basic subjects.

Such as maintaining the queue.

Riot control dogs typically work in groups, requiring a strong sense of cooperation. They must maintain a formation while moving and respond promptly to commands.

These are just the basics; they're child's play for the police dogs at the base.

Intermediate subjects are more difficult.

For example, dispersing the crowd.

In the midst of a chaotic crowd, riot control dogs must use barking and other methods to control the situation.

If a person is disturbed and starts attacking people indiscriminately, then they are unqualified.

Extending this further, there's something even more difficult: quickly locking onto a target in a chaotic crowd and identifying the weapon in their hand, such as a dagger or a gasoline can.

After identifying the animal, he should speak up to remind the trainer.

After the instructor gives the order, you must act swiftly, eliminate all distractions, head straight for the target, and accurately bite the target's weapon-wielding hand to subdue them.

During this process, one must also withstand the target's counterattack, and absolutely cannot give in.

This is not the hardest part.

The most challenging advanced training involves throwing smoke bombs, setting up fires, creating massive noises, and setting up various obstacles, such as having a target hiding in a car, requiring police dogs to accurately capture and bite the target.

This is also a major reason why Shen Xin requested a wildcard spot.

It's really not easy to train a police dog successfully.

Li Jiahui also brought Simba to participate in this project.

Simba is a Rottweiler and also a riot control dog.

However, Li Jiahui said before the competition that she was not very confident because Simba's abilities were not the best among the six riot control dogs at the base.

Sure enough, in the intermediate level, which involves alerting and locking onto targets in a chaotic crowd, Simba took 37 seconds to spot the target.

The best riot control dog is named Hachiko.

It is a majestic Doberman.

In just 17 seconds, he located the target holding the "dagger" from the crowd that was running around everywhere.

After the instructor gave the order, it immediately rushed through the crowd and tackled the target to the ground.

No matter how much the target was whipped with a rubber baton, it wouldn't let go.

Li Jiahui comforted Simba and shouted encouragement to Shen Xin.

There are six riot control dogs at the base.

Meanwhile, all 38 police dogs in Shenxin's unit had to participate in the assessment.

Therefore, today's assessment seems to be specifically for Shen Xin.

Shen Xinchong and Li Jiahui made an OK sign and led Tian Kui into battle.

You must seize the initiative.

There's no need to compare the earlier, lower-level subjects; they're too easy, you can pass them in one go.

In the intermediate level, just like the subject where the target was found amidst the chaos, the "crowd" on site started running around in all directions as the whistle blew.

Shen Xin immediately took Tian Kui's hand and turned around.

In an instant, he was surrounded by people, except for one person in the middle who had pulled out a dagger with his right hand.

The timer has already started.

Then, just six seconds later, Tiankui cried out.

Li Yinjiang, who was keeping track of the time, glanced sideways.

Six seconds? That's incredibly fast!

"on!"

At Shen Xin's command, Tian Kui darted out in a flash.

He nimbly dodged the scurrying "crowd," then leaped and precisely bit his target's right arm.

Clearly, he hadn't picked the wrong target; he genuinely spotted it in just 6 seconds.

Compared to Xiao Ba, who performed the best, Tian Kui's performance was absolutely a case of being outclassed.
