Animal Detective

Chapter 352 [Like]

Yang Zeran stayed for a while, then Shen Xin sent him away.

Go and meet up with Zhao Tianxing and the others to investigate another unsolved case.

We don't need him here, so keeping him is pointless.

Shen Xin planned to change his strategy, and the specific steps were quite simple.

In front of Xingbao and Yuebao, I only play with Yueyue.

For example, playing water volleyball.

All three dolphins love playing ball. When the trainer throws the ball, they leap out of the water to catch it, enjoying themselves immensely.

Now, Shen Xin only throws the ball to Yueyue in front of Xingbao and Yuebao.

Yueyue could naturally sense that Shen Xin was only interacting with him, and with his intelligence, he could perceive his own special status.

This leads to vanity.

Shen Xin did the same thing when training Tian Kui and the others.

The effect is amazing.

All I can say is that dolphins have rich emotions.

Shen Xin, in the water, kept throwing the ball to Yueyue.

He excitedly jumped up repeatedly to head the ball.

Xingbao and Yuebao, seeing that Shen Xin wasn't passing the ball to them, surfaced and cried out.

The voice was urgent, suggesting that the speaker was expressing dissatisfaction.

Yuebao was the most active and had a worse personality. When she saw that Shen Xin wasn't throwing her the ball, she rushed over to snatch it.

Shen Xin immediately shouted at him to stop.

This attempt to stop it was like stirring up a hornet's nest; it was a really bad thing.

The 7-segment favorability icon above Yuebao's head disappeared instantly.

Then he charged straight at Shen Xin.

It didn't dare to bump into Shen Xin, but swam quickly past him, its tail fin slapping out and splashing a lot of water.

Shen Xin cursed himself for being petty, but still tossed the ball to Yueyue.

It leaped high into the air, headed the ball back, and after entering the water, excitedly spun around in place.

His favorability rating jumped from 6 to 9 in one go.

Clearly, the strategy worked.

Yuebao still holds a grudge.

He dared not clash with Shen Xin, but he dared to clash with Yueyue.

Xingbao is also a restless fellow, and he chases after Yueyue together.

Shen Xin quickly called Yueyue over, assuring her that Yuebao and Xingbao wouldn't dare do anything while he was there.

Yueyue rushed over and hid behind Shen Xin.

Shen Xin slapped the water and scolded the two dolphins. The two dolphins yelled fiercely a few times and then turned and swam away.

Clearly, the favorability icon above Xingbao's head also disappeared.

Shen Xin was helpless; it was impossible to satisfy everyone with a show featuring three dolphins.

Yueyue was overjoyed to see that Shen Xin was "doting on her the most".

Its head popped out of the water, calling out urgently, as if telling Yuebao and Xingbao, "Come on, if you dare, I have someone protecting me now."

Then it circled around Shen Xin and nuzzled him with its head.

I've gained 9 points of favorability.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Shen Xin played surfing with him for a while, expending enough energy before feeding him delicious food again.

Unfortunately, the favorability rating did not increase.

Raising the final level of favorability in the second stage is not easy.

In the afternoon, Shen Xin and Yueyue teamed up for another performance.

After this performance, Yueyue and her team's day of work was over.

In the evening, after the aquarium closed, Shen Xin volunteered to stay and clean the pool.

This way I can have more time to interact with Yueyue.

This dolphin is too independent and fickle. If it has 9 points of goodwill tonight, but drops it all tonight, Shen Xin will be dumbfounded.

Li Fusen hurriedly said, "Officer Shen, no, this job is very tiring."

Wang Hui didn't talk much, but after a few days of getting to know him, Shen Xin found that he was a pretty honest person.

“That’s right, let’s do it ourselves,” Wang Hui said.

It was his and Chen Sili's turn to stay and farm the pool today.

Shen Xin said, "It's alright. I've caused you a lot of trouble these past few days. This is just to help lighten your burden as a way of thanking you."

The strategy is working. At the current pace, we estimate that we can start recreating the scenario in just a few days.

Therefore, Shen Xin cannot stay for too long.

Li Fusen hurriedly said, "Officer Shen, please don't say that. You've helped us a lot these past few days."

"Also, haven't you noticed? The dolphins get along really well with you. They're much easier to manage when you're here."

Shen Xin waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's enough. Wang Hui, you still have to spend time with your son tonight, and Li Fusen too. Didn't you go on another date? Spend more time with that girl and try to find a partner soon."

After hesitating for a moment, the two gave up.

However, Li Fusen still stayed behind to teach Shen Xin how to use the diving equipment.

He also instructed Chen Sili to keep a close eye on Shen Xin.

After Shen Xin went into the water, he stayed until he confirmed that everything was alright before leaving.

Shen Xin then brushed the shallow water area.

The work itself isn't difficult, it's just troublesome and tiring.

They stopped to rest after brushing half of it.

Seeing Yueyue clinging to Shen Xin, begging for a pat, Chen Sili said from the side, "Officer Shen, you seem to care about Yueyue a lot."

Shen Xin nodded generously and then asked Chen Sili if he had any good ideas on how to get closer to Yueyue.

He's been a trainer for so long, and his most frequent partner is Yueyue, so he might know some special methods.

"Be closer?"

Chen Sili's expression was strange. After a moment's thought, he asked softly, "Officer Shen, is what you're doing related to the investigation?"

He had already figured it out; Shen Xin staying must be related to the case.

Otherwise, why would a serving police officer have so much free time to go to the aquarium every day and try to get close to a few dolphins?

Shen Xin neither confirmed nor denied, only asking if he had a solution.

Chen Sili thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there really is one. Wang Hui taught me."

He moved closer and pointed to the two creases on Yueyue's stomach.

Male dolphins have two slits on their bellies: one for excretion and the other for concealing weapons.

There is only one female.

“You know, dolphins are all horny, so you can let him touch it.” Chen Sili gestured.

Shen Xin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what he meant and his eyes widened. "You did that?"
Seeing Shen Xin's reaction, Chen Sili felt embarrassed and awkward, saying, "I was just saying, but it really worked. When I first came here, I wasn't familiar with Yueyue, so I just touched it more and gradually got to know it."

Shen Xin glanced at Yueyue at his feet.

He also looked up at Shen Xin.

Then, as if it understood, it flipped over and lay on its back.

Get lost.

Shen Xin pushed him away impatiently and asked Chen Sili if there were any other solutions.

"Any other way?"

Chen Sili hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "There really is. I've heard Li Fusen and the others mention it. They said they used to do it this way."

"Do you know pufferfish? They're the kind that get all round and puffy when they're angry."

Shen Xin nodded. "Of course I know. I've even eaten farmed ones. They taste amazing."

Chen Sili continued, "Li Fusen and the others saw a news report somewhere saying that this dolphin likes to play with pufferfish."

"We stimulate the pufferfish until they swell up, then we bite them, but not to kill them, just gently. Then the pufferfish secretes toxins, which the dolphins then ingest."

"Then, just like a cat loves catnip, it gets very excited."

“Our aquarium has a lot of pufferfish, right? They’ve caught some and tried it on Yueyue and the others, and it seems to really work.”

After saying that, he asked Shen Xin if he wanted to give it a try.

Shen Xin looked at Yueyue incredulously.

It's a shame you're all so cute, yet you've gotten involved in gambling, drugs, and prostitution—you're full of bad habits.

But that is one way.

Shen Xin had used catnip when he was trying to cultivate Da Mei's feelings for him.

Moreover, seeing Chen Sili's eager eyes, Shen Xin realized that he was probably curious and wanted to give it a try.

Shen Xin said, "This isn't a good idea."

This pufferfish is, after all, an asset of the aquarium. Provoking it like this might just drive it crazy.

I've heard that pufferfish can drive themselves crazy.

Chen Sili said, "It's okay. People in the breeding area also play with the pufferfish and tease them."

Shen Xin was both amused and exasperated.

I thought to myself, "You aquarium staff have quite a rich life."

Lin Zenghui uses dolphins to pick up girls after get off work, and he even uses pufferfish to play with.

Seeing that Shen Xin no longer objected, Chen Sili said he was going to catch pufferfish and quickly left.

Before long, he returned carrying a bucket of water.

There was a pufferfish inside.

"Give it a try?" Chen Sili looked eager to try.

Shen Xin thought to herself, "Since you've already secured it, why not give it a try?"

But I have to do it myself.

Otherwise, the favorability won't be added to myself.

Shen Xin called Yueyue over, and then, in front of him, poured the pufferfish into the pool.

Yueyue had already spotted the pufferfish; its eyes were bright, and it let out an excited cry.

As soon as the pufferfish entered the water, it darted to the bottom.

But in the water, how could it possibly escape the pursuit of dolphins? They leaped and chased after it in a flash.

Shen Xin jumped into the pool.

It was clear that Yueyue had already caught the pufferfish, which immediately "got angry" and its belly began to swell.

Yueyue circled around it, gently nudging it with its mouth to stimulate it.

Then the pufferfish swelled up into a ball.

Without hesitation, Yueyue bit into the pufferfish.

His movements were surprisingly gentle; he seemed experienced and knew how to "play" with the pufferfish.

At that moment, Yuebao and Xingbao also noticed and rushed over at high speed.

Shen Xin couldn't stop him.

Yueyue grabbed the pufferfish and ran off. As she ran, she suddenly let go and tossed the bloated pufferfish to Yuebao.

Moonbaby bit first.

Xingbao, standing nearby, was eager to try.

Shen Xin was amazed; nature was truly wondrous.

It's like a cat catching a mouse but not eating it; it just plays with the mouse like a toy.

Dolphins are like that; they have clearly transcended basic survival needs and pursued spiritual needs.

There are also orcas.

Shen Xin had seen videos online that said when orcas hunt seals, they tease the seals in various ways, giving them a good beating, and seem to enjoy it immensely.

"Officer Shen, look, it really worked!" Chen Sili shouted, pointing at Yueyue.

Shen Xin discovered it.

Under the stimulation of the toxins, Yueyue was completely high.

Floating beside Shen Xin, its tail swishing up and down, its mouth wide open as if it were laughing in ecstasy, its eyes becoming unfocused.

Then, he spotted Shen Xin in the water and swam over.

It kept rubbing against Shen Xin and circling around him.

The favorability icon above his head almost instantly reached full, then turned from green to yellow, entering the second stage.

Become!

Shen Xin was secretly delighted.

But the surprises weren't over yet.

After breaking through the second stage, the favorability rating continues to rise.

1 square, 2 squares, and now it's 4 squares.

Moreover, Yueyue was obviously very excited and was no longer satisfied with just rubbing against Shen Xin. He straightened up and pounced on Shen Xin.

Its two pectoral fins even tried to hug Shen Xin.

【like】

Shen Xin immediately heard his thoughts.

"Okay, okay, I know, I know."

Shen Xin pushed it out.

This guy weighs over 200 kilograms and is very strong. Lifting a person is no problem for him, so when he lunged, he almost pushed Shen Xin into the pool.

But it simply couldn't be pushed open.

My heart kept hearing him say "I like you, I like you."

Then Shen Xin realized something was wrong and his expression changed.

No, what is this bastard trying to do?
