Animal Detective

Chapter 281 You're the Only One in My Eyes

Like everyone else, Shen Xin gasped, his mind filled with one thought: the person who set the questions for this competition must be a shrew.

so bad!
The first subject incorporates real-world CQB (Combat Quality Battle) and is incredibly difficult.

Now, the second subject takes an even more unconventional approach.

The special police base has a large indoor training hall where they usually do combat training.

Now, the gate is open, and what comes into everyone's view is... a night market!
Two rows of mobile stalls extend outwards.

Grilled squid, New Orleans roast chicken, roast duck, oden, grilled starch sausage...

At a glance, none of them are the same.

Moreover, Shen Xin strongly suspected that these stalls were not put up by temporary people; that these people were actually doing this business.

The stall's signboard was old and stained with grease.

Some even drove their tricycles directly in.

Most importantly, it tastes good.

Shen Xin took a deep breath. The air was filled with the aroma of charcoal, as tempting as the smoke of cooking fires.

Chen Ran, sitting next to him, swallowed hard, her Adam's apple bobbing.

Shen Xin was also inexplicably hungry, and then looked at the referees, wondering what they were up to.

Watching everyone compete must have been exhausting, so let's treat them to a good reward?
But clearly, it's like the boss announcing a holiday tomorrow and then taking everyone on a team-building trip—it's just a feint.

There was no reward.

Holding a megaphone, Lü Yuan announced the details of the upcoming match.

It's designed to be practical.

A series of heinous crimes have occurred at the bustling night market stalls.

For example, someone might take hostages, someone might detonate a bomb, or a madman might indiscriminately attack passersby.

In such situations, patrol dogs need to respond immediately and make the right decisions despite interference.

That's right, these stalls and these food stalls are the distractions.

Especially the roast duck, they must have used some amazing technology to make it so delicious, the aroma just wafts right into your nose.

Shen Xindu noticed that the police dogs were drooling uncontrollably.

Shen Xin had seen the food refusal training the base conducted; they would put a chicken leg in a bowl and refuse to eat it unless given a command.

That was in an open space, with just one chicken leg.

That alone was enough to make the police dog drool, but it couldn't move, looking pitiful.

Now, the air is filled with the aroma of delicious food; it's no wonder people get distracted.

Therefore, Shen Xinzhen felt that the person who set the questions was too bad, a complete scoundrel.

Wan Chao went straight up and ordered a skewer of grilled starch sausage.

He even started eating.

While eating, he said, "Comrades, we said yesterday...we need to be realistic...we'll have lunch right after the competition...we'll eat here."

He mumbled incoherently, and after speaking, he turned around and asked the lady grilling the starch sausage to sprinkle some chili powder on him.

"Fuck."

Chen Ran tried to pull Xiao Ba, but it felt like she couldn't pull it anymore.

Everyone complained.

The amount of sweet talk they've prepared is a bit too much.

Shen Xin tugged at Tian Kui, who was staring intently at the New Orleans roasted chicken leg stall, his eyes wide open.

She even turned her head and looked at Shen Xin with a resentful expression.

Time to get to work, I'm hungry.

Shen Xin was both amused and exasperated. After thinking for a moment, she took his hand and went upstairs to order a few roasted chicken legs.

Seeing everyone looking at him with confusion, Shen Xin said, "I think feeding them well should help."

Everyone was stunned.

Wan Chao said, both amused and exasperated, "This kid's quick thinking is pretty good."

Wang Peidong nodded secretly; quick thinking was a quality that an excellent criminal investigator must possess.

"Damn, Shen Xin, you're so smart."

"That's right, let's feed them first."

Shi Xianbo and the others immediately realized what was happening, and Chen Ran quickly took Xiao Ba's hand and asked for some starch sausage.

Shen Xin, holding Tian Kui's hand, also asked for a few starch sausages, then whispered to Chen Ran, "Don't let Xiao Ba eat too much, or he'll react too slowly."

That's all I have to say.

Chen Ran understood and quickly nodded silently.

Shen Xin glanced at Ning Shan's side.

Hou Bendong, holding Mumu's hand, looked embarrassed.

They had also thought of the solutions that Shen Xin had come up with, so Hou Bendong made sure to feed Mu Mu a full meal this morning.

If I eat now, I might actually eat too much and it might affect my ability to move around.

The problem is, all the other dogs ate, but Mumu didn't, and it felt so wronged.

Hou Bendong, holding Mu Mu's hand, was embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Lu Yuan stepped in to stop him: "Alright, have something to eat to tide you over, we can have a proper meal after the competition."

He glared at Shen Xin with a helpless expression.

Although this seems like a logical approach, they hadn't actually thought of doing it this way when designing the exam questions.

Shen Xin offered the roasted chicken leg to Tian Qiao, but she declined.

I've already eaten breakfast.

Shen Xin subconsciously handed it to Li Jiahui and asked her if she wanted some.

Li Jiahui thought to herself, "You didn't even ask me first, and you only give it to me because even dogs wouldn't eat it."

However, he still accepted the chicken leg and said while eating, "Shen Xin, how about letting Tianqiao participate?"

Although this is a security and prevention project, Tianqiao's performance in security and prevention was no less than Tiankui's during the previous assessment at the base.

Most importantly, she's not greedy.

She eats whatever is given to her and never asks for more.

"also."

Shen Xin thought for a moment and nodded.

Tian Kui had already wolfed down his food and was pulling at his trouser leg, shouting that he wanted more.

Fearing that the police dogs might have eaten too much, Lü Yuan quickly called for the competition to begin. A large number of "citizens" poured into the scene, all of whom were members of the SWAT team in disguise.

There were quite a few people, forty or fifty.

Then, three unexpected situations will occur in succession, requiring the participating police dogs and their handlers to handle them appropriately.

Everyone turned to look at Ning Shan.

Knowing he had become a public enemy, Meng Fuqiang waved his hand, telling Hou Bendong to go and make preparations.

As it turns out, this subject was no less difficult than the previous CQB.

The "mass" of nearly fifty people, all in casual clothes, moved around randomly, stopping and asking the vendors for food. The various sounds mingled together, just like a typical night market, very noisy.

The contestants then patrol with police dogs, unaware of when or where an attack might occur.

It has a high degree of randomness.

The most important thing is still interference.

You might be on guard here when someone over there sprinkles a handful of seasonings on the grilled lamb skewers, causing them to sizzle and billow white smoke.

Once that smell wafts out again, how can the police dogs not turn their heads to look, how can they not be distracted?

Moreover, when a real emergency occurs, these "crowds" also start to play the role of the sixth person in charge. They will "flee in panic" and then wander around in front of you, interfering with the police dogs' vision.

In the chaos, even people might not be able to see where things are happening, so how can police dogs find their targets?

Hou Bendong finished the competition in just over ten minutes.

Mumu handled all three emergencies, but her reaction time was unacceptable.

The first time, it took the two of them almost ten seconds to pinpoint the location of the incident before they parted the crowd and ran over. By the time Mumu made her move, the "hostage" had already been stabbed to death.

Shen Xin silently estimated the time.

20 seconds.

In other words, you have 20 seconds to react to every unexpected event.

If this time is missed, it's considered a failure.

Hou Bendong, looking utterly exasperated, led Mu Mu back, leaving everyone else speechless and shivering.

This is really difficult.

Everyone looked at Fang Weijie again. If you want to be the boss, it's time to make your move.

After the first match ended, Fang Weijie realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of this competition.

His biggest fear now is that he won't become the leader and will instead embarrass himself.

"You guys go first, we'll observe and then go last to get a good result," Fang Weijie said.

Although no one said it aloud, they probably thought to themselves that this kid was not worth their time.

Then they all turned their gazes toward Nanjiang.

Or rather, he looked towards Shen Xin.

After the first match, it was clear that Shen Xin was more reliable.

Moreover, Shen Xin received a wildcard, so it doesn't matter if he loses.

As long as Ning Shan doesn't get cocky.

Shen Xin didn't stand on ceremony and led Tian Qiao into battle.

After Ning Shan finished his competition, Shen Xin confirmed two key points.

First, police dogs must have strong resistance to interference.

It wasn't just the delicious food, but also the noise and the surging crowds.

Secondly, it also tests the trainer's reaction ability.

In the event of an emergency, the instructor must remain calm, respond promptly, identify the situation immediately, and make a swift decision.

In other words, both the police dogs and the people were put to the test.

Shen Xin felt that this was the real question.

A qualified handler must not only train excellent police dogs, but also possess outstanding personal qualities.

And this happens to be one of my strengths.

Having worked in a police station and as a criminal investigator, Shen Xin's reaction to emergencies is definitely far superior to that of a trainer.

Shen Xin walked through the crowd, his sharp gaze sweeping over each person.

Some veteran police officers, especially those who have worked in police stations for many years, really have a keen eye for detail.

Like his mentor Li Dongsheng, for example, when patrolling the subway station, he could spot a suspicious person at a glance in the surging crowd and then go up to question them.

Shen Xin didn't understand at first, saying how could human eyes be so powerful.

Li Dongsheng explained the reason to Shen Xincai.

Because these people who have something to do become guilty when they see the police.

He will avoid eye contact or subconsciously veer off course, trying to avoid you.

He thought that there were people all around him and that the police wouldn't notice him.

In fact, his subconscious behavior was very obvious.

Just like taking exams when you were a kid, if you want to cheat by copying notes, the teacher can see everything clearly, but sometimes they just can't be bothered to bother you.

So now, Shen Xin can also use these reactions to observe who has a problem.

The "criminal" was likely acting opportunistically, and he was also observing Shen Xin's location.

So, after only two round trips, Shen Xin had already locked onto two targets.

The two of them were acting unnaturally, and were still secretly observing him.

One of them was accompanied by another person, who was probably the "hostage" he was going to take hostage later.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin took the initiative to lead Tian Qiao over.

What Shen Xin didn't know was that while he was observing his target, others were also observing him.

Especially Tianqiao.

The thing is, comparison is the thief of joy.

During the previous competition in Ningshan, Mumu followed Hou Bendong, but his attention was clearly not on Hou Bendong.

She'll look at the delicious food nearby, and if she hears any noise from the side, Mumu will immediately look over.

The interference is too severe.

But Tianqiao was different. She walked on Shen Xin's right side, and her eyes never left Shen Xin from beginning to end.

No matter what happens around her, no matter what sounds she makes, she is always looking at Shen Xin.

It was as if his eyes could see nothing else.
