Animal Detective

Chapter 335 Suspicion
The thought of it being haunted only flashed through the man's mind for a moment. He hesitated for a second, then stepped forward to check the curtains.

There was nothing behind the double-layered curtains, and the ventilation window of the floor-to-ceiling window was also properly closed.

The man turned his head and looked around the entire master bedroom.

There was no sound at all.

How did the curtains move?

The man instinctively looked towards the large bed beside him.

Under the bed?
The man lowered his gaze, wanting to crawl under the bed to look down.

But a deep unease lingered in my heart.

What if there's something under the bed?

You won't know if you don't look.

At that moment, the man saw the open bedroom door and quickly found an excuse for himself.

It's probably because the door was open and the wind was blowing in.

I'm still being paranoid.

Thinking of this, the man felt a little relieved and went to the bathroom to relieve himself.

But I couldn't help it; my thoughts kept wandering to the curtains that had suddenly moved.

After coming out of the bathroom, the man turned on the light himself.

The light illuminated the bedroom, and that unsettling feeling dissipated.

The man then came to the bedside, squatted down, and quickly glanced at the bed.

Just one glance.

It was pitch black, and there was nothing there.

His glance startled Shen Xin and the others in the car.

The curtains were naturally set off by the sheriff walking by.

At that moment, the sheriff was actually huddled in a corner under the bed.

The man's gaze seemed to be meeting the eyes of everyone present.

But the man only glanced at it before quickly looking away.

Shen Xin felt a wave of fear wash over him.

She immediately realized that the man hadn't actually seen things clearly.

The sheriff was dressed entirely in black, huddled in a dark corner, making him difficult to see clearly.

Moreover, in dark environments, a cat's pupils dilate, making the yellow sclera (white part of the eye) appear smaller, thus making it even harder to spot.

In the bedroom, the man realized he was overthinking things and got up to close the bedroom door.

Seeing his action, the tech guy hurriedly asked what to do.

There was only one door; once it was closed, the sheriff couldn't get out.

It still needs to be charged.

Seeing the man turn off the light again, Shen Xin said, "It's okay. I just checked. He's the doorknob. As long as it's not locked, the sheriff can open the door himself."

The Great Beauty Society, and the Sheriff Society too.

Influenced by their talents, they became very intelligent.

Just like Tiankui goes to the men's restroom to relieve himself, Damei goes to the toilet. As long as it's not a ball handle, Damei can open the door by herself.

And the sheriff will do the same.

In the darkness, the man went back to bed.

The sheriff remembered the previous orders and quietly left under the bed while the man went to close the door.

The man lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and still felt uneasy.

Just a few seconds later, he leaned out of bed and peered under the bed again.

It was pitch black, and there was nothing there.

Not far away, at the corner of the wall leading to the master bedroom and study, the sheriff turned his head, sensing the man's movement.

Shen Xin said softly, "Could this be considered mild obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

I've checked it and confirmed there are no problems, but I'm still not entirely sure, so I need to check it again.

The people present nodded in agreement.

The tech guy even turned to look at Gao Siyu.

Finding nothing amiss, the man lay back down, stirred slightly, and prepared to sleep.

Meanwhile, the sheriff wandered around the small study in the master bedroom but found nothing.

In the darkness, the sheriff wandered around again.

The man was lying on the bed, presumably asleep.

Shen Xin ordered the police chief to hide and wait a while before leaving.

The sheriff lay motionless in the corner where he could see the man on the bed.

At that moment, the man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes.

He had a vague feeling that he heard something.

Very subtle.

It felt like someone was talking.

In the darkness, with only the faint light from the window, he stared at the ceiling, too afraid to move.

I felt uneasy.

The man was unsure whether he was experiencing tinnitus and hallucinations, or if there was actually a sound.

He tried to get up and look around, but it was too quiet.

This atmosphere makes men not want to get out of bed.

I listened carefully, but there was no sound at all.

After a while, the man realized he was scaring himself and closed his eyes again.

Never mind, let's just pretend nothing happened.

And what could it possibly be?

The door was closed, and he looked under the bed himself.

You can't exactly let a thief sneak in, can you?

There are fewer thieves these days.

Moreover, all the windows on the first floor have burglar bars installed.

The main gate is also a smart gate, and no one can open it easily.

But once the thought crossed his mind, the man couldn't help but start thinking about it.

He squinted slightly and, as he turned over, peeked behind the curtains.

There was no movement, so I turned to the other side, but there was nothing there.

After a while, I flipped back over, but there was still nothing there.

In the corner, the sheriff squinted slightly, watching the man on the bed toss and turn with curiosity.

He knew the man wasn't asleep yet.

When a person falls asleep, their breathing becomes even, and even their heartbeat slows down.

Cats have four times the hearing of humans and can hear a human's heartbeat.

At night, cats often jump onto the bed to listen to people's breathing and heartbeats, making sure their little brother is still alive.

Therefore, the sheriff knew very well that the man was not asleep yet.

After all that fuss, the man was finally at ease.

She fell asleep shortly afterward.

Meanwhile, inside the car, the group had already engaged in a discussion.

The question is whether or not to let the sheriff open the door.

If you don't come out, wait until dawn and then come out with the man.

Because the sheriff will open the door, but he won't close it.

He opened the door; would the man suspect someone had entered the house?

As for not charging, then we simply won't charge it. Anyway, the man is asleep, so there's not much point in monitoring him.

But Shen Xin had concerns.

Only with cameras watching can we know what the sheriff is doing, and if he does anything out of line, we can stop him at any time.

But if we don't charge it, who knows what the sheriff might do? After some discussion, they finally decided not to open the door and wait until dawn.

Shen Xin gave a final order: the sheriff should stay inside and not wander around, and only come out when the target opened the door and left.

The sheriff didn't react, but he must have heard it.

We're also getting ready to wrap up here.

Qin Chunyi was excited. Even though it was late, he still pulled Shen Xin aside and discussed the application scenarios of using the sheriff's reconnaissance.

For example, if the target is writing documents in the study, could the sheriff be asked to keep an eye on him from behind and see what he is doing?

Or, who he received and what he talked about.

Most importantly, there's that secret room. As long as he goes there, there's always a chance he can follow him in and find out what's inside.

For a case that has reached a stalemate, the sheriff's appearance could very well open a new door.

"You don't know, this guy is very privacy-conscious, and he lives alone and doesn't have to take care of the elderly or children, so there are no surveillance cameras in his house."

"Now that we have the sheriff, we can truly understand his daily life. If we keep going like this, we might just find some clues."

Qin Chunyi is very optimistic.

He has plenty of patience, as long as he finds the right method.

Shen Xin nodded in agreement, but he had some doubts in his heart.

Their investigations often take a long time, sometimes several months or even longer, to investigate the target.

I'm not an economic crime investigator, so it's fine for a short time, but I can't stay tied up here forever.

But Qin Chunyi and the others were having a great time, and Shen Xin was too embarrassed to interrupt them.

Leaving the sheriff in their hands probably won't work.

The sheriff has a rather wild and unruly personality, much like Tian Kui and Hu Ban, and only he can keep them in check.

After seeing Qin Chunyi and the others off, Zhang Songhao stayed behind to take his shift.

While getting out of the car to stretch his muscles, Zhang Songhao couldn't help but say, "Shen Xin, do you know that since joining the task force, the number of times I've seen Qin Zhixiao is less than a fraction of what I've seen tonight?"

Qin Chunyi, a member of the special task force, was stern and rarely smiled.

But today, I couldn't suppress the corners of my mouth at all.

"So Shen Xin, your move was absolutely brilliant, amazing." Zhang Songhao gave him a thumbs up again.

Shen Xin waved his hand, wanting to ask about the case.

But he swallowed the words back.

If someone is willing to talk, they will. Why ask?

It was almost 2 a.m. Zhang Songhao told Shen Xin to lie down for a while, as he was too excited to sleep and he would keep an eye on things.

Shen Xin hesitated for a moment, then went to the car to take a nap.

If it's not your case, you really don't need to be polite.

I was half asleep, not knowing how long I slept, when suddenly someone nudged me.

Wake up suddenly.

The back door opened, and Zhang Songhao, along with the others, were staring straight at him.

Shen Xin was startled and asked them what they were doing.

It's still dark.

With a whoosh, something jumped into the car.

There's no need to ask anymore.

Shen Xin instantly snapped out of his daze and hurriedly asked the police chief why he had come out.

The tech guy, Guan Wenkang, shook his head and said he didn't know. He was on shift change and was outside the car when he saw the sheriff appear in front of him.

I don't even know when I found it.

Shen Xin hurriedly looked towards the villa. There were no lights on on the second floor, so the target should not be alerted.

"What are you doing out here?" Shen Xin grabbed the police chief and asked.

I told you to wait until the target opened the door before you came out.

【Hungry】

The sheriff stared intently, then added another sentence.

【fish】

Shen Xin rolled his eyes. What could he do?

Guan Wenkang suggested that the police chief enter the bedroom and slam the door shut from the inside.

Shen Xin thought about it and decided it was feasible.

But just then, lights suddenly came on on the second floor of the villa in the distance.

Everyone present was startled, a chill running down their spines.

Shen Xin thought to himself, "I'm doomed."

No, this guy has kidney deficiency, he gets up several times a night.

But let's push the time forward a few minutes.

The man in the bedroom, half-asleep, had a dream.

In his dream, he vaguely felt that he was sleeping, and then for some reason, he always felt that there was something behind the curtain on the right.

The man got up to go and see, but found he couldn't move.

Turning around suddenly, I was horrified to find that someone had been lying on top of me.

The man suddenly "woke up," still groggy. He tried to see who the person was, but it was too dark, and he couldn't make out anything.

It felt like this person was sitting on my chest.

I tried to stretch my legs, but they felt heavy, and I felt a disconnect between my mind and body, so I just couldn't get up.

The remaining consciousness made the man think he might be experiencing sleep paralysis.

He couldn't help but start to panic.

But someone was pressing down on him, and he couldn't get up no matter what.

The man struggled, desperate and unable to move.

Moreover, the man felt that the thing on his body was getting closer to him.

He desperately cried out in his heart, "Don't come any closer!" and struggled.

It was blurry; he seemed to see a familiar face, but he couldn't make it out clearly.

Then this person, or rather, this thing, slowly approached me.

The man felt that the man was very close to his face.

The terror sent shivers down his spine, and he struggled desperately.

Then, after an unknown amount of time, when the fear reached its peak, the man suddenly felt that his body was not so heavy anymore.

It felt like I had regained strength in my legs.

With a start, the man woke up and sat up.

She actually sat up.

The room was completely dark, and he had nothing on him.

curtain.

The man suddenly turned his head.

The curtains were still there, just like before I fell asleep, with only a small gap open to let in some faint light.

There's nothing there, everything is normal.

The man rubbed his forehead, feeling a lingering fear.

It turned out I had a nightmare.

But it feels so real, like there's something really pressing down on me.

wrong!

The man's eyes widened suddenly.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the bedroom door not far to my left had opened a crack of about ten centimeters.

A chilling aura shot straight to the man's head.

He was absolutely certain that he had closed the door before going to sleep.

So how is it open now?
The man swiftly moved aside and turned on the bedside lamp.

Then, in horror, he looked at the bedroom before him; everything was as before, nothing was there.
