Animal Detective

Chapter 284 It was agreed that there would be no problem.
There is a hidden door on the second floor.

It's very well hidden. From the outside, it looks like a fire hydrant door, covered in marble and perfectly embedded in the wall.

Then it can only be opened from the inside.

If you pass by from the outside, you won't notice it at all.

The marble has been smashed and the door has been kicked open.

It would be strange if no one had reported it and hadn't investigated the situation beforehand.

Therefore, there must be a problem here.

Yuan Mingtao first went to the office area deep inside.

They searched several offices but found nothing.

Then they went to the ladies' rest area behind the hidden door.

It was obvious that there were two groups of girls working at the place, each with their own tasks.

Behind the hidden door was a narrow corridor, at the end of which was a fairly large room.

There are nine women dressed in different outfits squatting on the ground, checking ID cards.

The cheap perfume smell in the air was even stronger, and it felt a bit pungent.

As far as the eye could see, the room, which was only a few dozen square meters, was a mess. Cosmetics and various work clothes were scattered everywhere, and there were several boxes of jelly, mouthwash, and other things in the corner.

This place is quite large, probably with a dozen or twenty people.

At the deepest part, there is a hidden door that leads to a small elevator.

That must be a safe passage.

Now, their escape route has definitely been cut off.

Yuan Mingtao wrinkled his nose as he entered, leading Qiuqiu to search for their target.

Shen Xin observed silently, and had actually already spotted the target.

Such people not only have an lingering odor, but their physical appearance also changes.

Those who have worked in grassroots police stations or in the anti-drug division for several years can be easily distinguished in a crowd.

Qiuqiu sniffed around and soon came to the woman in the mini-dress, barking urgently twice.

Yuan Mingtao finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly signaled to the woman that there was a problem.

"I do not have."

The woman screamed in panic.

Colleagues at the scene immediately stepped forward and took the person away for a urine test.

Just as Yuan Mingtao was about to tell the referee that the match was over, he saw Shen Xin repeatedly giving him meaningful glances.

Don't worry, the person has been found, but the goods haven't been found yet.

Yuan Mingtao suddenly realized what was happening, felt a wave of fear, and quickly took Qiuqiu to continue the search.

Shen Xin thought to himself, "Why would I need to search? It's definitely in the closet. Just ask that woman what her name was and which closet she was in. We'll definitely find it if we open it and search."

But since things have come to this point, there shouldn't be any major problems, so Shen Xin wasn't in a hurry.

Looking around, his gaze fell on the employee handbook on the wall.

Goodness, eight service standards, ten musts, and twelve initiative.

Shen Xin patted a young woman next to him and pointed to the rules on the wall, asking them if they had followed them.

Things like prohibiting phone use, requiring smiles, and offering tissues.

It's a big place, so the service standards are quite high.

The woman was very direct: "We're only responsible for doing the work."

Shen Xin shook his head inwardly.

After some effort, Yuan Mingtao finally found the target in the employee's locker.

He excitedly told the referee that he had completed the search.

The referee nodded slightly and stopped the recording.

The group left the scene.

Li Yinjiang asked anxiously how things were going and how difficult it was.

"It's alright." Yuan Mingtao felt much more relaxed.

Shen Xin thought so too.

It didn't seem very difficult. Perhaps Wan Chao and his team designed this competition to allow these trainers to get a real feel for the process.

Li Yinjiang felt relieved, but then reminded Shen Xin that time was very important.

If the competition events are not very difficult, then speed will be the key factor.

“But we have Tianqiao, I’m confident we can get first place.” Li Yinjiang looked at Tianqiao, who immediately ran to Shen Xin’s feet and squatted down as soon as he got on the car.

Shen Xin thought so too.

With Tianqiao's abilities, there shouldn't be any problem.

Xin Zifeng had just hung up the phone when he told the driver to set off, saying that the battle was over and they should get to work as soon as they arrived.

After what had just happened, the group had become more familiar with each other. Xin Zifeng even chatted with them, curiously asking what breed Tian Qiao was, since he had never seen her before.

Drug-sniffing dogs are usually Springer Spaniels, Labradors, Belgian Malinois, etc.

This is clearly not Tianqiao.

When Shen Xin said it was a stray dog, Xin Zifeng was surprised. He never expected that a stray dog ​​could be promoted to a police dog.

With just a few taps on the gas, we quickly arrived at our destination.

It's a fairly large clubhouse.

There are KTVs, foot massage parlors, and bathhouses.

"come on."

When they got off the bus, Xin Zifeng patted Shen Xin on the shoulder and offered a word of encouragement.

Shen Xin frowned slightly, sensing that Xin Zifeng's action of patting him had a hidden meaning.

Is it really that hard to remind yourself?

It doesn't matter if it's difficult; with Tianqiao's abilities, he can handle it.

Shen Xin held Tian Qiao's hand and explained to her what they were going to do; she was familiar with all the drugs on the market.

The clubhouse has three floors.

The first floor was a KTV. Keeping the time in mind, Shen Xin quickly searched the area. The first room was checking IDs.

Several men were still making excuses. When asked what the girl's name was, they insisted that she was someone they met online and were meeting in person.

Shen Xin wondered if her name was Xiao Mei. He didn't bother to watch the excitement and quickly scanned the area with Tian Qiao.

If a discovery is made, listening to one's inner voice can quickly confirm it.

We searched all twenty-odd private rooms on the first floor but couldn't find them.

Also normal.

I reckon it'll be the same as before, in the rest area.

The second floor is the lobby, which also has a buffet.

Shen Xin quickly went through it again, but still couldn't find it.

Then I went straight to the third floor.

The third floor has private rooms, which are probably where business is conducted.

As Shen Xin searched through the rooms and observed their layout, he already had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

It's the kind of place that's barely half full.

The problem is that no hidden door was found.

The staff rest area is located at the very back of the third floor.

It's quite big; waiters, security guards, electricians, and other staff also rest here.

The place was quite clean, and there was a duty roster posted on the wall.

Shen Xin looked at Xin Zifeng with a puzzled expression.

This is a legitimate place.

I quickly searched the staff area, but still couldn't find it.

Shen Xin looked at Xin Zifeng again, wondering if this was also a test, with a hidden door that he was to find.

That can't be right, the competition is about drug enforcement.

Suppressing his doubts, Shen Xin left and walked around the third floor again, especially the nooks and crannies.

Having accompanied the police to raid numerous locations, Shen Xin could tell whether there was a hidden door or not.

After walking around, Shen Xin roughly confirmed that there really was no hidden door.

That's not right!

Shen Xin frowned.

Yuan Mingtao asked in a low voice what was going on, saying that they had searched the entire area but still hadn't found anything.

He believed in Tianqiao's abilities.

Just like the second subject in the morning, which was so distracting, Tianqiao still managed to spot the target immediately.

Shen Xin shook his head slightly, then glanced at Xin Zifeng and the referee.

Xin Zifeng's eyes looked a little unnatural, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

That means there's still a problem, you just haven't noticed it yet.

That's strange.

Shen Xin, along with Tian Qiao, thoroughly searched the place from top to bottom again.

With Tianqiao's abilities, this shouldn't be the case.

Midway through, the club owner arrived. He was a middle-aged man in a suit who looked quite respectable.

He repeatedly explained to his colleagues that his venue was absolutely legitimate and had none of those messy things.

He even said he was willing to let his colleagues check the accounts to prove his innocence.

After inspecting the venue himself, Shen Xin also felt that it was a legitimate establishment.

But if they pulled me into the competition, there must be a problem.

Shen Xin had a headache.

Seeing Shen Xin searching everywhere with his head down, Xin Zifeng couldn't help but whisper to the referee, "Should we remind him?"

The referee hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

In fact, the competition subjects this time are firstly closely related to actual combat, and secondly, they are double-blind tests.

Some venues received advance intelligence and were suspected of having problems.

But some venues, like the one in front of us, have no problem.

It tests the handler's trust in the police dog's search capabilities; if it can't find it, then it doesn't exist.

But just then, Tianqiao, who had been searching all the way to the kitchen storage room on the second floor, suddenly stopped and shouted at a shelf.

Shen Xin immediately heard her thoughts: something was wrong.

It's oil.

Shen Xin looked at the second-to-last shelf, where there were barrels of shortening in tin cans.

These were the targets that Tianqiao discovered.

"Referee, the target has been spotted," Shen Xin said immediately.

I knew it; there was definitely something wrong with it.

The key is that it was hidden quite well.

Shen Xin picked up a barrel of oil and looked through it.

It's hidden inside?

These tin cans appear to be sealed, but in reality, it's very difficult to achieve a completely sealed seal.

Drugs have a unique smell; their odor molecules slowly seep out from the packaging and oil layer, and even the slightest odor can be detected by police dogs.

There are many cases where criminals hide drugs in car fuel tanks, and police dogs can still detect them.

After all, the sense of smell of police dogs is hundreds of thousands of times more sensitive than that of humans.

However, when Shen Xin looked up, he found that the referee and Xin Zifeng were staring at him with wide eyes and shocked expressions.

The next moment, Xin Zifeng turned around and ran out quickly.

At that moment, Xin Zifeng's mind went blank.

Didn't you say there were no problems? How come you found anything?
