Animal Detective

Chapter 326 The Case Closed, the Storm Clears

County hospital.

Inside the treatment room, Tiankui had already been washed clean.

The claws were wrapped in gauze.

A minor surgery was performed by an attending physician in the hospital's surgery department to address the issue.

We also temporarily found a professional veterinarian from the livestock station to consult about medication.

Shen Xin also washed up, changed his clothes, and stood guard over Tian Kui.

Tian Kui is fast asleep.

Shen Xin was also feeling tired. He stared at Tian Kui and couldn't help but think about what Guo Jin had said earlier.

Indeed, Tiankui is very capable and can do many things.

Leaving him in Machang Town, in Shiyao, would be a waste.

To be honest, Shen Xin himself was also a little reluctant to part with it.

After all, they were trained by his own hands.

Lost in thought, Shen Xin fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was the next day, and I didn't know who had covered me with a blanket.

When I opened my eyes, I didn't see Tian Kui.

They rushed out to look for it.

It was only when he bumped into Li Xiaowen that he learned that Tian Kui had gone out for a stroll.

Guo Jin wouldn't let him get out of bed, which made him unhappy. He went to the toilet to relieve himself and then went for a walk.

Li Xiaowen said with a smile, "I didn't wake you because you were sleeping so soundly. The city leaders just came by and wanted to see Tian Kui, but Tian Kui didn't give them any face at all and didn't even look at them properly."

Shen Xin thought this sounded like something Tian Kui would do, and quickly asked about the situation.

I fell asleep accidentally.

"That's all for now." Li Xiaowen's eyes were also red, then he sighed and held up three fingers.

Shen Xin gasped.

Li Xiaowen said, "That's enough. It was such a big accident, so many people were buried."

It's not easy for so many of the 22 people to survive.

And Tiankui really played a key role.

Otherwise, city leaders would have made a special trip to see Tiankui.

He even said on the spot that he would report Tian Kui's merits and publicize Tian Kui's heroic deeds.

Shen Xin found Tian Kui.

He's even been admitted to a hospital ward, and Guo Jin is watching over him.

Upon seeing Shen Xin, he called out and immediately jumped off the bed, rushing over.

Shen Xin teased him for a while, then remembered the case and asked Duan Dongqiang what the situation was.

Most importantly, among the evidence found, is there any evidence that can identify Duan Dongqiang?

"Have."

At this point, Li Xiaowen smiled and said, "I only had time to ask Lao Xu last night, and there was indeed a brick wrapped inside his clothes."

"Then, by sheer luck, they found a clear blood fingerprint on this brick. Old Xu examined it and thought the identification criteria were good."

Shen Xin was overjoyed.

Then these past few days haven't been a waste of time.

Thinking back to Duan Dongqiang's arrogant demeanor when he left after the first interrogation, Shen Xin felt just as furious.

I asked about the situation in detail.

The brick was wrapped in a plastic bag and was well preserved.

There was flesh and blood on the impact surface, along with a hair.

Those days were hot and humid, and the bricks were dry, so there was an opportunity to leave fingerprints after handling them.

"Captain Li, when will the interrogation take place? I'd like to attend."

Shen Xin wanted to see Duan Dongqiang so scared that he cried his eyes out.

Li Xiaowen laughed and said, "Then let's go. I was just thinking of interrogating him when we get back."

Once the person is brought back, they will definitely be interrogated.

With the blood fingerprint, that's enough.

Shen Xin immediately stood up.

At this moment, Guo Jin stopped Shen Xin and asked, "Shen Xin, what do you think about what I told you last night?"

Seeing that Li Xiaowen was also there, Guo Jin simply shared his thoughts again.

After listening, Li Xiaowen's expression changed slightly. He paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine. Director Guo's consideration makes sense. It's indeed a waste to have such an outstanding talent like Tian Kui here."

Having witnessed Tian Kui's abilities, Li Xiaowen felt that Guo Jin's words made sense.

Such a good police dog shouldn't be stuck in this remote mountain valley.

Seeing that Shen Xin was still hesitant, Guo Jin laughed and said, "Why don't you just give us a different police dog? It doesn't have to be this good, anything that's good enough will do."

Shen Xinxin said that the police dogs he trained were all about the same in terms of excellence.

Seeing that Tian Kui also turned to look at him, Shen Xin hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

You can replace it with another one.

There's a second batch of police dogs waiting to be sent out from the base.

"By the way, how's the ten thousand?"

Shen Xin quickly asked.

Donkeys are timid by nature; their stubbornness stems from fear.

But when the mudslide was about to hit, Wan, who was unwilling to get close, was able to turn back and run back to try to save himself.

For that reason alone, he is a lifesaver donkey.

Shen Xin had made up his mind: he would take him back to Nanjiang and raise him.

Upon learning that 10,000 had been transferred to the police station, Shen Xin was relieved. He ate breakfast outside the hospital and then followed Li Xiaowen to the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Around 11 a.m., Duan Dongqiang, who had already been taken back to the county public security bureau, was interrogated.

Li Xiaowen personally conducted the trial.

Shen Xin is in the observation room next door.

Wearing handcuffs and sitting on the cold interrogation chair, Duan Dongqiang looked haggard.

He was arrested yesterday evening. It was pouring rain here, and no one could take care of him. He's been locked up ever since.

He followed the crowd and knew what they were looking for.

Therefore, he should understand that since he was arrested, it means the item has been found.

In this situation, he knew that his plan had been exposed. Even if he still harbored a glimmer of hope, his mental defenses were on the verge of collapse.

Li Xiaowen's interrogation was very steady.

Or rather, combined with his naturally cold face, he is very good at controlling his aura.

After entering, he remained silent, simply watching Duan Dongqiang.

Duan Dongqiang's forehead was covered in sweat, and he clenched his hands, looking uneasy.

Just before he was about to speak, his Adam's apple bobbed, and Li Xiaowen finally spoke.

In short: "We found it."

The timing and choice of this sentence were perfect, directly piercing through Duan Dongqiang's psychological defenses.

Duan Dongqiang was completely jolted, drenched in sweat, and asked in a panic what they had found.

Li Xiaowen snorted softly, silently picked up the photos of the evidence, and said, "You lost these things yourself, and you're asking me about them."

The moment I saw the photo, all my pent-up fear shattered any remaining hope.

"me……"

Duan Dongqiang stammered for a long time, but couldn't utter a single complete sentence.

Li Xiaowen slammed the photo on the table and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, how did you attack Zhang Kaiyong?"

He used his coldness and superior aura to suppress Duan Dongqiang, giving him the feeling that he already knew everything.

Under these circumstances, it's estimated that Duan Dongqiang completely forgot all the arguments he had thought of all night.

Then he gave up.

Shen Xin listened silently.

Just like when he first gave his statement, he heard people arguing.

But it wasn't that they ignored it; they got up and went out to check.

I hid behind the wall and watched with my own eyes as Li Xingping hit Zhang Kaiyong a few times with a brick.

His heart was pounding with fear, and he only dared to come out after Li Xingping had gone far away.

At first, he thought Zhang Kaiyong was dead, but then he found that Zhang Kaiyong had gotten up on his own again.

Then he hid behind the wall and heard Zhang Kaiyong cursing.

He cursed Li Xingping, muttering that he wanted to kill Li Xingping, saying he wouldn't hand it over to him and that he would deal with him.

At that moment, as if possessed, Duan Dongqiang thought of his own experience.

He assigned himself the most remote plot of land, and when I went to argue with him, he said that as an old bachelor, I could just plant whatever I wanted and that would be enough to support myself.

Zhang Kaisheng even hit himself.

“When the village was pouring cement, it was only a few square meters. I told him, why don’t you help me pour it while you’re at it?”

Duan Dongqiang became angrier as he spoke, saying, "Then why did he pour water on me? It's because he looks down on me. In the end, he saw me and even cursed at me, saying why I didn't stop him and just watched him get beaten up."

“I stopped his mother, and in my anger, I just picked up a brick from the side and went out and… I smashed it to death.”

He finished speaking with his eyes wide open.

But under Li Xiaowen's cold gaze, he suddenly broke down, his face contorted with grief, and he hypocritically defended himself, saying that he didn't intend to kill him, but just wanted to take the opportunity to teach him a lesson.

After a few hits, Zhang Kaiyong stopped moving.

Inside the observation room, Zhu Qiuwei shook his head slightly and said softly, "It was just a moment's lapse in judgment."

Shen Xin nodded.

Li Xingping acted on a whim, unable to contain his anger, and chose to take action.

Duan Dongqiang, too, made a mistake in a moment and chose to kill.

But thinking about Zhang Kaisheng's arrogant manner, it seems that Zhang Kaiyong's fate was sealed.

But regardless, the case was solved.

As I walked out of the criminal investigation team, the rain had stopped and the sky was now a clear, bright blue.

Shen Xin's mood was as clear and bright as the sky.

Now, it's time to go home.

……

Shen Xin stayed in Machang Town for another day and managed to find a car for Wan to transport back to Nanjiang.

The town was still in chaos.

Many villages were affected by this torrential rain.

Landslides have also occurred in places like Baijiashao.

Especially those few families on the mountain, their people are now temporarily settled in the town.

Early on the third day, outside the town government building.

Shen Xin bid farewell to Miao Dingqiang and the others who came to see him off.

His gaze sharpened, and he saw Li Shi at the back of the crowd, the little guy staring intently at him.

Shen Xin took the initiative to walk over.

"They've all left, aren't you going to give them a hug?" Shen Xin smiled and opened his arms.

Shen Xin has already handed over the matter concerning Li Shi to Guo Jin, who will help handle the aftermath.

As for the family going forward, Miao Dingqiang will also help take care of them.

Li Shi pursed his lips, but in the end, he still threw himself into Shen Xin's arms.

Shen Xin patted his back and gently urged him to study hard.

"Don't let difficulties defeat you, especially if you have people you care about."

Shen Xin released him and tapped his heart with his finger.

Li Shi nodded slightly, his eyes a little red.

Shen Xin said, "You little brat, say something!"

Li Shi bit his lip, but still didn't say anything.

does not matter.

Shen Xin patted his head one last time, then turned and got into the car.

Tian Kui poked his head out and called out to Guo Jin twice.

Upon hearing those two sounds, Guo Jin burst into tears and turned his head away.

As the car drove off, the crowd gradually receded into the distance in the rearview mirror.

Just then, a figure caught up.

It's Li Shi.

He was riding a brand new bicycle.

The gift Shen Xin gave him before he left.

Shen Xin quickly signaled the driver to brake and leaned out to look at Li Shi.

Li Shi, leaning on his bicycle, didn't go forward, but just quietly watched Shen Xin.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Shen Xin called out.

Li Shi remained silent.

Shen Xin waved to him, signaling him to go back.

But after the car started, I saw him chasing after me again through the rearview mirror.

He kept chasing until the car had driven far away, until it rounded a mountain, and Shen Xin finally saw him stop.

He stood on high ground, leaning on his bicycle, motionless in the morning sun.

His voice finally came from afar.

Shen Xin heard this and simply said two words: "Thank you."

The kid finally said thank you.
