Animal Detective

Chapter 289 I'll give you a surprise, not a shock.
Police station command center.

On the big screen, the red dot representing the top spot is progressing very quickly, having already located the middle section of the pedestrian street.

The surveillance footage showed Li Yanfei holding hands with the "Number One Brother," which attracted a certain amount of attention.

However, Li Yanfei was well-trained and was not affected in any way, and he used many techniques throughout the tracking process.

For example, by observing the search speed of police dogs, if the speed slows down, they know that the scent source has faded.

He will go back and repeat the process to reinforce the police dog's memory.

When the olfactory source is lost, there is no rush; the search area will be actively expanded, and the search will be carried out in a leapfrog manner.

Both Yi Ge and Li Yanfei have extensive experience in tracking this.

Wan Chao said with a look of satisfaction, "The number one player's performance is as stable as ever."

Lin Weining and Wang Peidong nodded in agreement.

After all, it's a decorated dog.

Lin Weining added, "But the difficult part is yet to come."

It's designed to be practical.

When Wan Chao and his group were setting the assessment criteria, they set a trap for Shen Xin, and also for everyone else.

The target did come to the pedestrian street last night, but after strolling around for a while, chose to leave.

Then this morning, ahead of everyone else, I arrived at the pedestrian street and created a new scent route.

In other words, there is a fault line in the middle.

If you search by the smell of the square and keep following it all the way to the end, the scent will disappear and you won't be able to find your target.

Therefore, the next step is for the police dogs to remember the scent and then conduct a large-scale search in the pedestrian street to actively find the target.

Everyone felt that this arrangement was more in line with reality.

The scent source may be lost, and the suspect's range of movement becomes highly uncertain. Only under such circumstances can the tracking ability of police dogs be truly tested.

Wan Chao nodded, glanced at all the red dots, and laughed, "Shen Xin hasn't realized it yet."

The red dot indicates that Shen Xin is still strolling along the pedestrian street, showing no intention of returning to the starting point.

Lin Weining glanced at Wang Peidong and smiled, "He is still a bit young and has had it too easy, so he is too confident in his own judgment. In this situation, he has to fail a few times before he can learn from his mistakes and grow."

In Lin Weining's view, Shen Xin had been a police officer for a short time. After his internship was completed, he joined the criminal investigation team and began to make meritorious contributions. His career was too smooth.

Only by experiencing setbacks can one avoid blindly trusting one's own judgment and think about problems more rationally.

Wang Peidong remained silent.

Wan Chao said, "Everyone has to grow up eventually."

As the three were chatting, a notification suddenly popped up on the big screen.

It contains a brief text description and professional codes; it is police information directly assigned by the alarm receiving platform.

Most importantly, this is a red message.

Domestic emergency response platforms have a tiered response system.

Red represents the highest level, involving extreme situations such as possession of weapons, explosions, and hostage-taking.

In Ningshan, for example, the requirement is for the nearest police force to arrive at the scene in as little as 3 to 5 minutes.

The next level is yellow, which represents ordinary theft, disputes, etc., requiring arrival at the scene within 15 minutes to handle the situation.

The final level is blue, and you can get guidance and solutions via phone.

Police stations are usually yellow or blue, and rarely red.

In addition, there are professional classification codes that refer to different types of cases.

So when Lin Weining glanced at the code, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed drastically.

The code is a string of numbers.

The code starts with 02, which indicates a robbery; the code 12 indicates the presence of explosives; and the code 24 indicates that the crime occurred at a bank.

It was immediately clear that this was a bank robbery involving explosives.

"This is...a bank robbery?"

Behind him, a middle-aged man exclaimed and stood up.

He is Sun Yichuan, the director of the Laojiekou Police Station. When leaders come to the police station, he will definitely accompany them throughout the visit.

Throughout the process, he tried to remain as transparent as possible.

But Sun Yichuan never dreamed that at this moment, such a piece of code would jump out.

He hadn't encountered a situation like this in many years.

Wang Peidong, who was usually stern and had a cold expression, suddenly became even more piercing, and said in a deep voice, "What are you all standing there for? Quickly contact the patrol officers nearby and rush to the scene to evacuate the crowd."

As he spoke, he noticed that the police officer in charge of watching the surveillance was also in a daze, so he quickly patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to quickly pull up the surveillance footage.

Sun Yichuan rushed out in a hurry.

The surveillance footage was immediately retrieved.

Important institutions like banks will issue internal alarms in case of emergencies, similar to the hidden alarm buttons under the counters in movies and TV shows.

Once pressed, the bank's internal system will respond automatically and then contact the alarm platform to report the incident.

Meanwhile, the bank's internal surveillance cameras have pre-installed Skynet interfaces, which are not normally used, but will be opened to the police immediately in case of an emergency.

This will allow the police to quickly access the bank's internal surveillance footage, confirm the situation at the scene, and take appropriate action.

At that moment, the lobby surveillance footage of the Ningshan Commercial Bank's Laojiekou branch was retrieved.

The moment they saw the image clearly, Wang Peidong and the other two exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Weining's eyes widened: "This is... Shen Xin!"

He saw Tian Kui, which was clearly Shen Xin.

Wan Chao exclaimed in surprise, "How did he get here?"

The red dot only showed that Shen Xin was still on the Fengqing Street side, but he didn't look at the map carefully and didn't notice that the location of Shen Xin's red dot was inside the bank.

Wang Peidong's gaze was sharp.

The camera was in the bank lobby. Shen Xin was pinning Li Kun to the ground, while Tian Kui was pacing around, making attacking gestures.

From the microphone, Li Kun's pig-like scream came through clearly: "My hand hurts!"

Wang Peidong clearly saw a tube bomb fall to the ground.

At the same time, Shen Xinteng took action and lifted Li Kun's coat, revealing that he was also wrapped with tubular explosives.

"This kid..."

Wang Peidong exclaimed in a low voice and quickly replayed the surveillance footage to see what had happened.

The surveillance footage began to play in reverse. "Start from here," Wang Peidong shouted.

Li Kun rushed into the bank and immediately got into an argument with the security guards and the lobby manager.

At that moment, Shen Xin led Tian Kui in.
Lin Weining said in a deep voice, "Could this kid have already discovered the situation and then followed the suspect all the way to the bank?"

After thinking it over and over, he realized there was only one possibility.

Otherwise, what a coincidence that Shen Xin happened to be there.

Shen Xin wouldn't search for targets at banks.

There is only one explanation: during the search for the target, a suspect behaving abnormally was discovered, and then the suspect was followed.

After saying that, he gasped slightly, somewhat incredulous.

During a previous drug enforcement assessment, Shen Xin unexpectedly discovered a drug case.

He reviewed the relevant reports and found that the case was progressing well and had yielded significant discoveries.

Later, he himself said that it was a surprise, and he hoped that there would be more surprises like this.

But Shen Xinzhen gave her another surprise.

Or rather, it was a shock!
Wang Peidong remained silent, staring intently at the monitor.

Surveillance footage shows that after Shen Xin entered the room, he was staring at Li Kun.

There was sound, and Wang Peidong heard the content of the argument as well.

He also noticed that Shen Xin was holding a phone in his hand, but then put it down again.

He breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Lin Weining's speculation was also considered; it was probably that they discovered someone with suspicious behavior and then chose to follow them.

Since Shen Xin took the phone, he must be preparing to report it.

This shows that the kid wasn't planning to do it all by himself.

This is the situation that Wang Peidong is most worried about.

In emergency situations, police officers need to be at the forefront, but they need to act rationally and intelligently.

After all, a police officer's life matters too.

Now that he's put his phone down again, it means Shen Xin must have overheard the argument and judged it to be a normal conflict.

But the next moment, Li Kun pulled out a fruit knife and explosives.

The scene was in chaos.

People started running outside, but Li Kun ignored them and ran to kick the security door hard.

This is a security door, not a movie.

In reality, even a wooden door isn't easy to kick open, let alone a professional security door like this, which is simply not something that can be easily kicked open by human power.

In an instant, the customers and security guards in the lobby had all run out of the bank, leaving only the lobby manager and Shen Xin.

Shen Xin did not rush forward rashly. He spoke to the lobby manager to leave, and at the same time gestured to the clerks behind the counter, signaling them to leave as well.

Wang Peidong nodded slightly.

Shen Xin handled it very well. In such an emergency, the first priority should be to evacuate the crowd.

But at that moment, Li Kun, who couldn't kick the door open, saw the teller about to leave and then turned around to see the lobby manager about to leave. He immediately rushed over with his knife, trying to stop him.

In that instant, Shen Xin took action.

Once the tether was released, Tian Kui darted out and precisely bit Li Kun's right hand, which was holding the explosives.

Shen Xin immediately rushed forward, leaping and grabbing Li Kun's left hand that was holding the knife.

In an instant, the man and the dog worked together perfectly, tackling Li Kun to the ground.

While urging the terrified lobby manager to leave quickly, Shen Xin twisted his wrist and knocked the fruit knife away.

On the other side, Tian Kui bit Li Kun's wrist tightly, causing him to scream in agony.

The bomb had already slipped from its grip and fallen to the ground during the initial bite.

Then comes the scene from the beginning where Shen Xin subdues Li Kun and searches him.

"Good boy!"

Wan Chao excitedly slammed his hand on the table.

Shen Xin and Tian Kui's teamwork was decisive and swift.

Lin Weining nodded secretly. No matter what, he felt it was not easy for Shen Xin to make such a decisive decision.

As Wang Peidong's brows relaxed, his mind calmed down somewhat.

Judging from the current situation, Shen Xin's choice is not problematic.

The lobby manager was positioned between Li Kun and Shen Xin.

Li Kun rushed over, clearly intending to take control of the hostages.

In this situation, if Shen Xin does not take action, the lobby manager may be harmed, and the situation may become more complicated.

Therefore, we have to take action even if we don't want to.

In this situation, it's what I call a rational impulse.

The monitoring returned to live feed.

Shen Xin, who came out to compete, didn't carry handcuffs with him. He simply pulled out his belt and tied Li Kun's arm tightly.

Then have Tiankui keep an eye on him.

Shen Xin is currently squatting down to inspect the bomb.

As soon as he got his hands on it, Shen Xin realized it was indeed fake.

Shen Xin had just sensed something was off about the explosives Li Kun was holding, because the circuit board attached to the outside of the explosives was too complicated, and it even seemed to have indicator lights.

Real explosives don't need such complicated circuit boards; frankly, a simple push-button switch would suffice.

For an even simpler approach, use a lead wire.

Complex circuit boards can perform many functions, but in reality, there is only one requirement: to make it explode.

Most importantly, Tian Kui did not smell any dangerous substances on him.

In previous competitions, he was able to accurately identify dangerous items even in such harsh and complex environments.

If he didn't find it, then it really didn't exist.

Shen Xin trusted Tian Kui's judgment, as he had personally trained him.
