Animal Detective

Chapter 329 Holding an awards ceremony, are you trying to poach talent?

On the way to the Municipal Bureau, Shen Xin was talking non-stop.

"We were so close. We just found the murder weapon. I reckon the technical investigation team hadn't even come down the mountain yet when it started raining here."

“You have no idea how heavy the rain was. The sky suddenly turned dark. In just one hour, more than 100 millimeters of rain fell. Just imagine what that means.”

"There was also a mudslide. That person went up the mountain. My God, you can imagine how dangerous that was. In the end, we were all preparing to evacuate, but it was still 10,000. I must have heard it before I noticed him."

Ding Yuwei curiously interjected, asking Shen Xinyi why he was called that.

Logically, he should be called something like "Blackie".

When Shen Xin explained that he bought it for over ten thousand yuan, hence the name "ten thousand," they were immediately left speechless, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Shen Xin continued, "That guy was running like a rabbit, yelling for help at me. I could see the mudslide. What could I do?"

"In that critical moment, I remembered that I am a proud people's police officer, so..."

Zhao Tianxing, sitting in the front passenger seat, interrupted Shen Xin, saying, "Alright, the awards ceremony hasn't even started yet. Save your elaborate routine for later."

Shen Xin ignored him and continued, "I didn't hesitate and rushed back, but he couldn't run anymore. Just then, a donkey's bray pierced the night sky. Wan was back, like a god descending to earth."

Zhao Tianxing glanced sideways and said in surprise, "Then this isn't an eyewitness donkey, but a life-saving donkey!"

"No!"

Shen Xin waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "He has the will, but he is powerless. Think about it, we are two big men, how heavy are we? It's not easy for him to carry us, let alone run."

"The mudslide was right behind us, and I was about to get off and let Wan take the older brother away first. Just then, Secretary Dai appeared, drifted, and came to a steady stop in front of us."

drift?

Zhao Tianxing's eyes widened. "Aren't you afraid of the tricycle tipping over while drifting?"

Shen Xin asked Zhao Tianxing mysteriously, "Do you know what he said?"

Driving, Chen Chao glanced at the rearview mirror and tentatively asked, "Run?"

Shen Xin shook his head.

Zhao Tianxing, being young and quick-witted, rolled his eyes and asked uncertainly, "Hurry up and get in the car?"

Shen Xin snapped his fingers and nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Tianxing exclaimed, "Damn, this secretary is a fellow player, he must have played a lot of PUBG."

"Playing PUBG?"

Ding Yuwei, standing next to her, was completely bewildered.

Zhao Tianxing had already tasted the meaning, and said with a click of his tongue, "You know, the poison circle has already closed in, and at this time, teammates can still rush back to revive people. No doubt about it, they've come from afar to meet you."

After talking about mudslides, Shen Xin then talked about landslides.

"The house was mostly collapsed, leaving only a tiny crack, but I managed to squeeze in."

"Then I saw the little girl, trapped under the wardrobe, reaching out to me and saying, 'Uncle, save me!' Brother Xing, what would you do if it were you?"

Shen Xin countered with a question.

Zhao Tianxing slapped his thigh and said angrily, "Is there any need to say more? We have to go!"

Shen Xin nodded and said, "At the time, I didn't think about anything else, I only thought about one thing: how to rescue the child."

It is also said that Tiankui.

They said they gave a heads-up, and all the villagers from the surrounding area came together to help. The atmosphere was exactly like the saying, "When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides."

"In that situation, you don't feel tired at all, and you don't feel any pain. Even Tiankui, whose claws fell off, didn't even utter a sound."

Upon hearing this, Tiankui, who was lying in the middle, immediately raised its head proudly and subtly revealed its front paw wrapped in gauze.

Its expression seemed to say, "Stop talking, it's just a mere claw."

After talking for a while, Chen Chao interrupted him: "Alright, you two can go back and finish this charade. We're here."

We've arrived at the Municipal Bureau.

Zhao Hongjie must have already received the news, so he went downstairs ahead of time to welcome the hero of the day—Tian Kui.

Sure enough, Tiankui's claws, wrapped in gauze, were immediately visible.

Immediate instructions were given that the condition must be treated properly, and no sequelae should be left.

He then said to Xu Xinyao, the executive deputy director, "By the way, Lao Xu, I saw some information last time that said some cities are starting to build high-standard police dog kennels, one kennel per dog."

"It has air conditioning, a fresh air system, an air purifier, and a shower room with separate wet and dry areas. I think that's pretty good."

"Go back to the playground next to the back, find a spot and see how to build one."

Xu Xinyao nodded with a smile.

He didn't think it was an exaggeration.

Tian Kui's story has already made it onto the 7 PM news and gone viral across the internet.

Wan Chao from the provincial department has already contacted them, saying he wants to report Tian Kui's merits.

Moreover, it's not just Ningjiang that's reporting it; Juzhou will also be reporting it. So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Tiankui will become Ningshan's second national first-class meritorious dog, after the first dog.

This so-called first-class meritorious dog award has only been selected in recent years, and there are only 23 such dogs nationwide to date.

Ningshan has two, Nanjiang has one—what an honor!

"And Xiao Shen too."

Zhao Hongjie looked at Shen Xin with a smile.

The project proposed by Shen Xin was completed single-handedly. Shen Xin deserves credit, which is a remarkable achievement for me.

So today's commendation meeting really had to be held. It was held in the city bureau's auditorium, and many people came.

People from the police dog base also came.

Shen Xin, Li Mo, and Li Jiahui sat together. There were only three people in the project team. They were going to go on stage to receive an award in a little while.

On stage, Zhao Hongjie also played a video of the rescue scene.

Taken by He Wenyu.

The video shows a large crowd, and the scene of Shen Xin pulling the crowd to suggest using shoulder lights for positioning was also recorded.

Then, Tiankui rushed out with a lamp in his mouth and shoulder, illuminating the night.

The horrific scene was vividly presented to everyone through the video.

Li Jiahui nudged Shen Xin with her elbow and whispered, "Next time something like this happens, could you be a little more careful?"

Shen Xin sensed the concern in his voice and looked ahead, saying, "I made it."

We've caught up with it, so we can't just cower like turtles.

After saying that, Shen Xin was still thinking about Zhao Hongjie's arrangement.

Why build a high-standard kennel for Tiankui next to the playground behind the Municipal Bureau?

What does this mean? Does it mean they want to bring Tiankui under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?
The Municipal Bureau doesn't need to do any business. If we keep Tian Kui at the Municipal Bureau, wouldn't he just become a mascot?
He's still young; he can still achieve great things.

Lost in thought, it was the three of them's turn to go on stage to receive their awards.

Of course, Tiankui is also indispensable.

He wasn't intimidated at all; in fact, he seemed to enjoy the atmosphere. He walked proudly onto the stage and first squatted down next to Shen Xin's legs.

Then, looking around, he actually took a step forward and squatted down in front of the three of them.

With a click, the image freezes.

But it's not over yet.

After the commendation ceremony, Zhao Hongjie unexpectedly called Shen Xin back.

They also summoned Lü Youwei and Sun Zhao.

The group followed him back to his office, where Zhao Hongjie asked with a smile, "Xiao Shen, you've certainly made quite a few contributions since joining the company."

This came out of nowhere.

Shen Xin subconsciously sat up straight, judging from his tone?
But thinking about it, it's probably not the case.

Police officers are not promoted simply by making meritorious contributions.

And one point that cannot be ignored is Shen Xin's age.

You have consistently solved major cases and made significant contributions, but you are too young. If you are promoted, will it raise issues of public acceptance?

It tests management skills more, which is precisely what young people lack.

Zhao Hongjie praised her a few times, then took out a document from his drawer and said with a smile, "Look, you haven't even returned yet, and the Huaiyi Municipal Bureau has already sent you a letter of thanks."

Shen Xin's trip to Huaiyi not only saved people, but also helped Shi Yao's criminal investigation team solve a case.

Both morally and logically, Huaiyi should send a letter of thanks.

Lu Youwei stood up and took it, his smile growing brighter as he looked at it. He said, "Director Zhao, Xiao Shen's professional skills are quite good."

Zhao Hongjie nodded and said, "That's why I'm thinking about how to make the best use of his professional skills."

Zhao Hongjie was aware of all the cases Shen Xin had solved.

Lu Youwei's smile slowly faded as he realized that there was something fishy about the subtext of Zhao Hongjie's words.

It's as if they're saying that keeping Shen Xin at the Tingyang branch means he can't fully utilize his professional skills.

Sun Zhao, who was standing next to him, clearly understood this meaning and frowned slightly.

Zhao Hongjie suddenly said, "Old Lu, I think it's particularly meaningful that your branch set up that special task force to tackle unsolved cases."

"Think about it, criminal investigation technology is evolving so rapidly now, and there are constantly cases across the country where new technologies are used to solve old cases."

“Just like the few cold cases that Xiao Shen solved before, I think they were very good, because for the victims’ families, only solving the case can bring them the greatest comfort.”

Lu Youwei nodded in agreement, but the more he listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Zhao Hongjie continued, "I have an idea, which I discussed with Lao Xu and the others in a meeting these past two days. We said that the responsibility of the Municipal Bureau is to provide business guidance."

"Therefore, I think this unsolved case should not be left to your branch bureau alone; it should be led by the municipal bureau."

"I've thought about it. I plan to set up a cold case tackling office under the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment, just like you guys, and then transfer Xiao Shen over to be in charge."

"The specific responsibility is to help the various sub-bureaus solve their unsolved cold cases and old cases."

"Old Lu, what do you think? Feel free to share your thoughts, let's discuss it. Little Sun can also speak up."

Zhao Hongjie looked at the two of them with a smile.

Lu Youwei stopped laughing completely.

When Zhao Hongjie was clamoring to build a high-standard kennel for Tiankui at the Municipal Bureau, he had his doubts.

He was still thinking about how to place Tian Kui in the branch office.

Now I finally understand. So Zhao Hongjie held this awards ceremony today to poach people.

Holding an awards ceremony resulted in the loss of a young, outstanding police officer whom I had high hopes for; what a huge loss!
