Animal Detective

Chapter 286 More Surprises Like This
Outside the club, Wan Chao, Li Yinjiang, and others came to greet them.

Wan Chao gave him an inquiring look.

Tang Youkun simply nodded slightly, without explaining the specifics.

But judging from Tang Youkun's expression, Wan Chao knew that something serious was going on.

"Little Shen, you're great!"

Wan Chao looked at Shen Xin.

In the second subject of the morning, Shen Xin was able to anticipate the enemy's moves and spot the target in advance.

It's even more impressive now.

People who originally had no goals have somehow managed to create them.

Shen Xin quickly and modestly said it was an accident, that he just happened to be there.

Li Yinjiang already knew what was going on from Wan Chao, and took the opportunity to ask Lü Yuan how the scores should be calculated under the current circumstances.

Lu Yuan glanced at Li Yinjiang speechlessly and asked if a perfect score was enough.

He thought to himself, "Judging from your tone, you want 150 out of 100?"
The main problem is that Shen Xin has already made things more difficult for himself, so it wouldn't be right not to give him first place.

Li Yinjiang quickly said that was enough, his face beaming with joy.

Wan Chao glanced at his watch; it was getting late. He told everyone to head back first, that was enough for today, there was a match tomorrow.

Xin Zifeng stayed behind, and the three of them got into the car and went back to the hotel.

As soon as the car door closed, Li Yinjiang was so excited that he wanted to hug Shen Xin and kiss her twice.

If nothing unexpected happens, with two individual first-place finishes already, Nanjiang is really about to take off.

While excited, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. He grumbled to Shen Xin that Shen Xin had chosen the wrong major back then; he should have majored in police dog training.

Yuan Mingtao nodded in agreement, saying that Shen Xin might not have noticed, but he had seen it.

When they spotted the target, both Xin Zifeng and the referee were completely dumbfounded.

Shen Xin said that the double-blind test was quite disgusting and reminded Yuan Mingtao to be careful during tomorrow's competition so that he wouldn't fall for it.

Yuan Mingtao hurriedly nodded and wrote it down, feeling a wave of fear wash over him.

Fortunately, I had decided to pave the way for Shen Xin first. If it had been the latter, and I had to search for Mei Gao myself, I probably wouldn't have found anything.

Because of the unexpected discovery, there was a slight delay, so by the time I returned to the hotel, the other teams should have already returned.

However, while waiting for the elevator, they encountered Shi Xianbo and Yang Lichuan leading a Labrador into the hotel lobby.

"damn it."

Shi Xianbo immediately swore, then complained to Shen Xin and the other two with a speechless expression, saying that the organizing committee was inhumane.

“You know what? The place we went to didn’t have any drugs at all.”

They went to a bar with hundreds of people. Yang Lichuan searched it again and again, but even though the security detail was about to be removed, he still hadn't found anything.

Yang Lichuan looked frustrated: "I was so anxious, I was covered in sweat."

Shen Xin chuckled inwardly.

If you assume you have a goal, but then fail to find it, you should definitely start to question your life choices.

"What happened to your clothes?" Shen Xin asked, pointing to his coat.

Mentioning this made Yang Lichuan even more depressed. He said, "There was a drunkard who vomited all over me."

Seeing Shi Xianbo's anger, Li Yinjiang comforted him, "Alright, don't be upset. We're also in a place without drugs. Xiao Shen searched for a long time just like everyone else."

With that, he led the way into the elevator.

Shi Xianbo was startled and hurriedly asked what was going on.

But we're still counting on Ganning Mountain in Nanjiang.

If Shen Xin were to encounter such bad luck, wouldn't he be doomed?

Li Yinjiang couldn't suppress his smile and said, "What else can we do? Of course we'll find it, and then get full marks."

"You found it?"

Shi Xianbo's eyes widened, thinking to himself, "You said you didn't have any goals, did you?"

Li Yinjiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, that's because the referee team didn't know. But our little Shen is amazing; he managed to find it, a whole pound of it! The anti-drug team even came."

One pound?
Shi Xianbo's eyes widened as big as copper bells.

And it was the same situation again, and before the referee even knew it, Shen Xin managed to find it again.

"Xiao Shen, you're awesome!"

Shi Xianbo immediately gave a thumbs up.

Yang Lichuan was equally dumbfounded.

Once Shi Xianbo calmed down, he immediately asked, "So, is this project secure?"

Li Yinjiang nodded.

Given the current situation, if we don't give Tianqiao first place, Lü Yuan and the others will feel embarrassed.

Shi Xianbo nodded repeatedly, then said with annoyance that Meng Fuqiang and the others were not there.

Meng Fuqiang and his group are locals, so naturally they wouldn't stay in a hotel.

"Didn't you see the group chat? Old Meng is showing off there, saying he's sorry for being the first to finish. Shameless, they must have practiced beforehand."

"But there's no problem for now. We'll meet tomorrow, and once the results are announced, we'll see what they have to say."

Shi Xianbo couldn't help but look forward to seeing what kind of expression Meng Fuqiang would have tomorrow.

It would be incredibly embarrassing to fail an open-book exam and still lose to Shen Xin.

Li Yinjiang thought to himself, "I saw it a long time ago, otherwise I would have gotten off the bus and been pacing around in a panic."

But right now, Li Yinjiang just wants to laugh out loud three times.

Since they were all staying at the same hotel, the news couldn't be kept secret.

The various teams came one after another to inquire about the situation. First, they cursed the organizing committee for being inhumane, then they cursed Ning Shan for being shameless, and finally they praised Tian Qiao for being awesome.

They didn't disperse until very late.

Li Jiahui was the last to leave, her gaze somewhat resentful.

She knew Shen Xin and Tian Qiao's abilities, regardless of their grades. Even without this unexpected event, they would definitely have come in first place.

She was just annoyed that she could have gone on a date with Shen Xin, but the organizing committee ruined it.

"Get some rest early, you have a competition tomorrow," Li Jiahui advised.

Shen Xin hummed in agreement and slammed the door shut. After showering, he lay in bed and carefully recalled the events at the MGM Club and the people he had encountered.

After searching several times, Shen Xin had a deep impression of it.

I didn't find anything unusual.

Or perhaps it was just too well hidden.

But this case should be easy to investigate. Once we know the channels, we can trace it upstream and follow the clues to uncover a whole series of leads.

The next day, a notice was issued that today's competition would be held at the police dog base.

After breakfast, everyone hurriedly set off.

Li Yinjiang and the others had already discussed it and decided not to say anything for now, to let Meng Fuqiang and the others do as they pleased, and then see him make a fool of himself at the end.

Unexpectedly, Meng Fuqiang did not show off when they met.

Instead, they started complaining about Li Yinjiang and the others.

"Look at you all, what are you pretending for? If you want to see me make a fool of myself, just laugh. Aren't you afraid of getting sick from holding it in?"

He made a comment, clearly indicating that he already knew what had happened last night.

That's normal; playing at home, they're bound to be well-informed.

Everyone finally broke down in laughter.

Fang Weijie's teasing was a bit grating: "Old Meng, your plan backfired. You ended up losing to someone who came to the field halfway through. Seriously, if I had known the exam questions beforehand, you definitely wouldn't have ended up like this."

Meng Fuqiang raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased.

I thought to myself, "You've probably forgotten that before this, you were the public enemy."

What do you mean by "a latecomer to the field"? Are you looking down on Shen Xin?

So what if someone becomes a professional late in life? If they're capable, they should admit it themselves. But you guys are acting like you haven't won against me.

Thinking of this, Meng Fuqiang's eyes lit up, and he prepared to defect.

I really can't stand Fang Weijie's smug face.

It wasn't you who stole the spotlight.

If Li Yinjiang had said these words, Meng Fuqiang wouldn't have said anything, but who gave Peng An the right to act like a bully by taking advantage of the situation?

Meng Fuqiang waved to Li Yinjiang and the others, signaling them to speak.

Fang Weijie instinctively tried to follow, but Meng Fuqiang waved him off.

"This is none of your business."

Meng Fuqiang snorted and led Li Yinjiang and the others aside. He first admitted his mistakes and apologized, then decisively switched sides and told them everything he knew.

Ask for forgiveness, then focus fire on Peng An.

"I can't stand Lao Fang's attitude anymore," Meng Fuqiang snorted.

The group looked at each other, then nodded in agreement.

If Ning Shan hadn't been so shameless, they wouldn't have cooperated with Fang Weijie.

Most importantly, now that we have Shen Xin, we don't need Peng An anymore.

It's time to settle old scores.

Seeing that everyone had kicked him out of the group and kept turning to look at him, wondering what bad ideas they were plotting, Fang Weijie broke out in a cold sweat: Had he become public enemy number one again?
The situation has changed somewhat, but it has little impact on Shen Xin.

When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. We have enough strength and confidence.

When Li Yinjiang learned the exam questions, he pulled everyone aside to discuss them, his expression serious.

"There are still six projects, but the difficulty has been upgraded. They are now double-blind and require simulation of extreme environments."

"For example, when we're searching for drugs later, we'll have to search containers in a high-temperature environment."

The search and bombing are similar.

For example, searching for explosives in a trash can full of garbage.

In short, the goal is to find ways to increase the difficulty and test the performance of police dogs under various extreme conditions.

Li Yinjiang crossed his arms and said, "According to Lao Meng, the most difficult part is tracking. It needs to be realistic. On hard surfaces, we can do the tracking in the city, and the same goes for mountainous areas. We need to simulate the real situation as much as possible."

"Shen Xin, you are our hope, we can't let our guard down."

He had already witnessed the organizing committee's cunning and shrewishness.

Shen Xin nodded, but felt alright in his heart.

In a real combat environment, Tiankui and Tianqiao should both be fine.

In mountainous areas, there has been actual combat experience in searching for and capturing Fan Lei.

In the city, they are already stray dogs, and they have survived for so long in the bustling environment, so they are not likely to be disturbed.

Just then, the leader arrived.

Just like yesterday, it's pretty complete.

After all, it's an important technical competition, so the leaders will definitely need to make time to watch it.

Lin Weining started by jokingly asking everyone if they were flustered by the surprise attack last night.

Seeing everyone's reaction, he knew what was going on.

After all, we've never competed like this before.

"Comrades, but this is real combat. Criminals will never give us time to prepare in advance. This is also the original intention of setting up these projects: to start from real combat."

"And I heard there was an unexpected bonus during last night's match."

He was all smiles.

Seeing everyone's reaction, he realized they all knew, so he called out loudly, "Little Shen!"

Shen Xin paused for a moment in the crowd, then quickly responded.

"Come on, come on up." Lin Weining waved to Shen Xin, and when Shen Xin stepped forward, he said with a smile, "Comrades, how about we give little Shen a round of applause first?"

As he spoke, he took the lead in clapping.

The applause was thunderous, making it feel like a victory celebration.

Shen Xin never expected there to be such a step, but fortunately it didn't last long.

Lin Weining continued, "Comrades, the upcoming matches will still be about real combat, so I really hope that we can have more surprises like last night."

Shen Xin clicked his tongue inwardly. "Director, you can't just make promises like that."
