Animal Detective

Chapter 334 I thought you were exaggerating, but it turns out you were just being conservative.
The cramped command vehicle was packed with people.

Due to procedural requirements, all of Shen Xin's actions were under surveillance.

Therefore, everyone present heard what Shen Xin and the police chief were saying.

The prosecutor, Gao Siyu, sat silently in the corner, witnessing the events.

Qin Chunyi and the others huddled in front of the monitor, watching the footage transmitted back from the sheriff's camera in real time.

Gu Dawei said, "He's really treating cats like people, just saying it so directly?"

Everyone remained silent, but they shared the same thought.

It felt like Shen Xin was just having a normal conversation with the police chief, telling him what to do.

The question is, can cats understand human speech?
With such a small brain, how could he understand what to do?
As he spoke, the sheriff put the object on the ground and disappeared into the night. With a leap, he flew over the fence and landed in the villa's garden.

The entire movement was as light and graceful as a swallow.

Everyone was secretly astonished.

Even the most well-trained detective cannot match the agility of a cat.

At this moment, Shen Xin pushed open the door and entered.

It's even more crowded now.

Those who are not at the required level, such as Zhang Songhao, can only leave.

Everyone naturally made way for Shen Xin to sit at the control panel.

The technicians explained to Shen Xin how to rotate the camera and which button to press to turn on the microphone.

The transmitted video feed is very stable.

The battery life is a little over an hour.

The collar has a fast charging function and can be fully charged in as little as 8 minutes.

But you can take another one later, and rotate them in this way.

The villa was filled with flowers and plants, and there was an open-air rest area in the front yard. After landing, the sheriff remained cautious and did not act rashly. He lay hidden among the flowers and plants, silently observing the surrounding environment.

Shen Xin took the initiative to test the microphone. He had just tested it and found that turning the volume down worked fine.

The collar is close to the ears, and cats' hearing is no joke.

The sound was soft enough for him to hear clearly.

"Sergeant, circle the villa and try to get in," Shen Xin ordered.

Having already tested it, the sheriff wasn't startled and immediately dashed out after receiving the order.

The group was surprised again.

Hu Mingchuan said softly, "Chief Qin, this is practically a remote-controlled robot."

Qin Chunyi nodded slightly, thinking to himself that this was much more powerful than a remote-controlled robot.

No remote-controlled robot can match the agility of a cat.

The screen was shaking, and you could clearly feel the sheriff's speed from the footage.

He quickly found the entrance.

A crack about ten centimeters wide was opened in the kitchen window on the first floor.

A person definitely couldn't squeeze in, but it was just right for a cat. The sheriff leaped lightly and entered the kitchen.

Light and sound could be faintly heard coming from the living room.

The dark kitchen posed no obstacle to the sheriff, who leaped into the air and landed on the kitchen island.

The entire process was so light and silent.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned his head.

Kitchen utensils were scattered on the island counter, indicating that the target was someone who was willing to cook but unwilling to wash dishes.

The sheriff was completely captivated and slowly approached.

The goal is to have salad and sashimi for dinner.

Then there were some scraps left over from cutting the fish.

Clearly, the sheriff had his eye on them.

In the footage, the sheriff has bent down, and the sound of him swallowing fish can be heard through the microphone.

Shen Xin felt awkward.

You're working, why are you eating?

Qin Chunyi hurriedly said, "Shen Xin, don't let him eat it, lest the target discovers it."

Shen Xin quickly used the microphone to give orders to the police chief.

The sheriff only stopped eating after being told twice not to.

Perhaps there was some noise, or perhaps Shen Xin shouted a bit too loudly, because footsteps could be heard through the earpiece.

The next moment, the sheriff seemed to teleport, as if he had jumped into the shadows below the island platform.

The entire process was conducted without making a sound.

Then the sound of footsteps approached, the lights came on, and then the sound of the refrigerator door opening.

Shen Xin felt a little relieved; it seemed that it wasn't his loud voice that had attracted the attention.

In the shadows, the sheriff even peeked out.

Looking around, he darted out of the kitchen.

For a moment, the image shook violently, and when it stopped, it seemed like the person had crawled under the sofa.

Here, the sheriff went into hiding.

Before long, footsteps approached and stopped right in front of the sheriff.

Then tuck your feet in, leaving only a pair of slippers.

Everyone suddenly realized that the sheriff had been lying under the sofa where the target was sitting.

Qin Chunyi also heard the sound of a soda can being opened, and he thought to himself, "Wow!"

Who could possibly detect such a stealthy infiltration?

Han Shicheng said softly, "I told you, it can work."

Being so close, I could hear everything the target said clearly.

Most importantly, it can't be detected.

To this day, Shen Xin still hasn't seen who his target is.

Judging from the slippers, it should be a man, so he's probably a senior executive at Sheng Hai Bank.

The TV was on, and the target seemed to be watching a football match.

The sheriff remained lying under the sofa. Midway through, Shen Xin asked Qin Chunyi if he wanted to order the sheriff to go for a walk around.

"No, this is fine as it is. There's no rush. Let's take it slow." Qin Chunyi waved his hand.

The results of this reconnaissance have far exceeded his expectations.

He then turned to Gao Siyu and asked if doing this was in accordance with regulations.

Shen Xin turned to look at Gao Siyu.

Whether it works or not is up to him.

Gao Siyu was clearly a little stunned, not expecting that he could use a cat in this way.

He looked at Shen Xin intently and said, "It should... be fine, right?"

He spoke with his superior and learned about the final compromise made by the leadership.

The explanation I found was that I happened to have installed an anti-loss recorder on a cat's neck.

Then, quite by chance, the cat ran into the target's villa.

It is a cat, a conscious individual, and its behavior is beyond human control.

Then the cat "accidentally" took some pictures, which became evidence.

That's roughly it; it's completely skirting the edge of legality.

Cats are very patient animals.

The sheriff remained lying under the sofa, barely moving.

When the battery was running low, Shen Xin quietly gave the order for the sheriff to return.

With the sound from the TV masking it, it's not a big problem.

The next moment, the sheriff silently slipped out of the sofa without making a sound and returned the way he came.

It darted into a corner and even glanced back at its target.

Only at this moment did Shen Xin see his target.

A man wearing glasses and with short hair looked to be in his forties.

He was completely unaware of the sheriff, leaning back on the sofa and looking at his phone.

They returned via the same route, and the whole process was extremely fast.

Shen Xin didn't even need to pick him up; the sheriff, following the scent, came to the outside of the MPV and reached out to pry open the back door.

Han Shicheng opened a crack, and he crawled in.

In an instant, Qin Chunyi and the others focused their attention on him, which startled him. He then darted into Shen Xin's arms.

Shen Xin quickly removed the collar to charge it.

As a side note, I also gave him a bag of freeze-dried snacks as a reward.

He wouldn't eat, but instead tugged at Shen Xin's clothes and meowed.

Qin Chunyi asked curiously what this meant. Shen Xin heard his thoughts and said with a wry smile, "It must be because you didn't get enough of the fish you ate earlier."

Qin Chunyi was taken aback, then pushed Hu Mingchuan and said, "Go, go buy it, just buy sashimi."

After Hu Mingchuan left, looking both amused and exasperated, Qin Chunyi stared intently at the police chief.

The more I looked, the deeper the smile became in his eyes.

"Old Han, I thought you were exaggerating what you said this afternoon, but I didn't expect you to be so conservative."

Qin Chunyi muttered something.

In the afternoon, Han Shicheng argued with them, saying that Shen Xin had used cats for investigation and had even solved a major drug case.

He genuinely thought Han Shicheng was bragging.

But looking at it now, I can only say that my imagination was far too limited.

Han Shicheng couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this moment, he felt a strange sense of pride and said, "Chief Qin, you don't know, do you? Shen Xin's cat is amazing, and the police dogs he trains are even more incredible."

"Oh, a police dog?"

Qin Chunyi immediately perked up and asked what it meant.

Han Shicheng immediately took out his phone.

The bureau has already held an awards ceremony, and the related videos have already gone viral.

He showed the video to Qin Chunyi and said, "You know that police dog that's really popular online right now? It was trained by Xiao Shen. One police dog saved 19 people."

Shen Xin didn't expect Han Shicheng to start bragging.

There are no 19 people. The mother and daughter were dug out by force, so they have to be eliminated.

"My God, Shen Xin, you trained that police dog?" Qin Chunyi exclaimed.

With Tiankui being so popular, how could he not know?

However, the video that was exposed online was edited and blurred, and Shen Xin's name was not mentioned. Who knew that it was Shen Xinxun who was involved?

Shen Xin could only nod and smile.

Qin Chunyi had already seen Shen Xin in the video. He gave her a thumbs up and, in his excitement, even blurted out in his dialect, "Amazing!"

Even Gao Siyu couldn't help but come closer and take a few glances.

And this guy with the skills, young, whispered, "Dude, you're a druid."

At this point, Qin Chunyi understood why Shen Xin's cat was so powerful.

If the trained police dogs are this good, then the cats are naturally no problem either.

A few minutes later, fully charged, the sheriff set off again.

I walked through it once, and it was completely unobstructed.

This time, he hid in the shadow of the large flowerpot in the living room, secretly watching his target.

The distance was only four or five meters, but the target was completely unaware.

Around eleven o'clock, the target got up and walked past the flowerpot as if it didn't exist, without even glancing at it.

The sheriff quickly followed.

He walks silently, dressed entirely in black, so even if he follows someone closely, it's difficult for them to spot him.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the target quickly washed up, went upstairs, and returned to his bedroom.

The master bedroom is a large suite with a TV cabinet, an open walk-in closet, an entertainment and relaxation area, and a huge floor-to-ceiling balcony.

After entering the room, the target quickly turned off the lights and lay on the bed scrolling through his phone.

The sheriff has been following them for so long that he's getting bolder and bolder.

Instead of crawling under the bed where it was hidden and safe, he swaggered over and jumped onto a dark gray sofa chair next to the TV cabinet, diagonally opposite the bed.

I nestled on the sofa, quietly watching my target.

From this angle, it was as if a camera had been placed directly in front of the bed, making everyone in the car a little uneasy, fearing that the target would be discovered.

But the lights in the room were already off, and only the light from the cell phone illuminated the target's face.

The sheriff, dressed entirely in black, was lying on the dark gray sofa, completely unnoticed.

"That's amazing."

The tech guy gave Shen Xin a thumbs up.

The only way to achieve this level of surveillance is to sneak in and install hidden cameras.

After a while, the target put down his phone, presumably preparing to go to sleep.

After he turned off his phone and lay down, he paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up.

Everyone in front of the camera felt a jolt of fear.

Could it be that they've discovered something?

But the sheriff vividly demonstrated what it means to start with zero frames, jumping directly from a lying position and leaping under the sofa chair.

It vanished from the target's sight in an instant.

The target stared wide-eyed, looked around, and then lay back down.

Clearly, nothing was found.

Before long, the sheriff jumped onto the sofa chair again and lay down there once more.

The faint sound of the target breathing could be heard from the other side; it seemed to be asleep.

Qin Chunyi gave Shen Xin two thumbs up: "No doubt about it, awesome."

He couldn't find any other adjective besides "awesome".

Shen Xin waved his hand and said no, then asked Qin Chunyi if he wanted to take a walk around.

Qin Chunyi nodded.

Monitoring people is one thing, but finding a secret room is another.

At that moment, Shen Xin quietly gave the order for the police chief to wander around.

He seemed to be getting sleepy and dawdled for a while before setting off.

He jumped off the sofa and started wandering around the villa, wiggling his hips.

The darkness was the best cover for him. According to Qin Chunyi, the secret room should be on the first basement level.

When they reached the stairs, Shen Xin gave the order, and the police chief went down the stairs to the basement.

The basement level is a rest and entertainment area, with facilities such as a pool table and treadmills.

The place was deserted. The sheriff wandered around aimlessly, while the others observed silently, but they did not discover any hidden entrance to the secret room.

Hu Mingchuan also bought some sashimi to give to the sheriff while he was charging his phone, saying, "Could it be a hidden door?"

Qin Chunyi crossed his arms and frowned, saying, "It should be. Then we'll just have to wait until he goes in and go in with him."

Shen Xin thought so too. Just like the drug case in Ningshan last year, they lay low and only entered the production area when the suspect opened the door.

I charged it again halfway through and continued wandering around.

They also went to the target's study to see if there were any documents or materials on the other person's desk.

Remotely controlled by Shen Xin, it was like a ghost, wandering around the villa and going wherever it wanted.

For the first time, everyone had a complete understanding of the target's family situation.

That would be a tremendous discovery.

So everyone was full of energy, and Qin Chunyi even brainstormed with Gao Siyu about whether the police chief could go to the target's work environment.

Around 1 a.m., the sheriff strolled back to the master bedroom, which also had a small study.

The sheriff was bold; he swaggered onto the TV cabinet and walked away.

Just then, he suddenly turned his head.

But the target on the bed turned over and sat up.

In an instant, Shen Xin and the others who were staring at the screen also tensed up.

Because of the lens, the person and the cat are completely unobstructed.

The goal should be to get up at night, and get out of bed with your eyes half-closed.

The sheriff had really grown bolder; instead of starting with zero frames, he simply stood still and turned to look at his target.

In the darkness, the target seemed not to see anything, and strolled from the other side of the sheriff toward the restroom.

The target suddenly stopped after passing the TV cabinet and turning into the hallway.

As if startled awake, she shuddered.

He quickly turned around and peeked out again.

There was nothing on the TV stand.

The target blinked, a hint of doubt flashing through his mind. Was he seeing things?

He looked around the entire bedroom, but there was nothing there.

Just as he was about to look away, the curtains on the opposite balcony moved without warning.

Just for a moment.

But the target was startled.

If he remembers correctly, he closed the window himself.

How did the curtains move by themselves?

windy.

Or... is it haunted?
