Animal Detective

Chapter 386 Leading a yellow dog on the left, holding a falcon on the right, wearing brocade hats and sable furs, a thousand horsemen sweep across the plains.
"Director."

Shen Xin stopped Lakshin and asked them about their search for Sangbu during the night.

"We couldn't find him. We don't know where he ran off to." Lakshin didn't think much of it when he mentioned this and simply explained the situation.

Hearing that they had chased for over ten kilometers without finding anything, Shen Xin frowned and said, "That doesn't make sense."

Lakshin and his group weren't searching aimlessly with Tian Kui.

They chased him for over ten kilometers without finding him, so what happened to Sangbu?

Just to relax, why go this far?

Are there no scenic spots nearby?

There's no scenery to be found at night.

If you commit suicide and run too far away, you won't be afraid of becoming food for wild animals.

There's something wrong with this kid.

Shen Xin asked Lakshin to call the camp and ask if Sangbu had returned home.

When he called to confirm, Shen Xin felt that Sangbu was increasingly suspicious.

For example, yesterday I went to confess my feelings to Donya.

If we assume he's an accomplice, it seems a bit like he's preparing to flee, and before leaving, he wants to express his feelings to the person he secretly loves.

Once he leaves, there will be no more chances to say it.

Therefore, it is highly likely that he left on a motorcycle to meet up with the two thugs.

Otherwise, if he went east, why did those two thugs also choose to go northeast after attacking the camp, instead of heading into the vast uninhabited area to the northwest?

This only shows that their original planned evacuation route was in the northeast direction.

Shen Xin believed that their plan was for Sangbu to use the excuse of being heartbroken to lure Lakshin and the others away.

Two thugs attacked the camp, stole Teddy, then met at a pre-arranged location and crossed the border directly.

Sambu has a legal status.

He must have provided all the transportation, horses, and food.

As a grid worker and a herdsman from Chabuqiri Gacha, he knew the situation in the camp better than anyone.

Lakshin put down the phone, shook his head at Shen Xin, and said that Sangbu had not returned yet, and his parents were very worried and had not slept all night.

Shen Xin became even more certain that his accomplice was Sangbu.

If you're heartbroken, taking a break might help you clear your head.

suicide?

Having spent time in a police station, Shen Xin knew very well that those who claimed to be heartbroken and threatened suicide were actually just trying to gain the other person's attention and sympathy; it was a deliberate act.

People value their lives.

And he committed suicide just because he had a crush on someone; it's ridiculous.

Shen Xin quickly asked for a satellite phone and called Duan Zijie.

The call was quickly connected, and Shen Xin immediately said, "Team Leader Duan, I think the accomplice of the criminals is Sangbu, a villager from Chabuqiri Gacha."

"who!"

Across from him, Lakshin exclaimed in surprise, his eyes widening in shock.

Tian Jian and the others standing beside him had similar expressions, looking at each other in shock.

On the other end of the phone, Duan Zijie didn't even know who Sangbu was, and hurriedly asked what was going on.

Shen Xin laid out all his analysis and speculations, one by one.

Duan Zijie listened silently on the other end of the phone.

Meanwhile, Lakshin and his men became increasingly alarmed as they listened.

When Tian Jian heard that Sangbu had deliberately gotten lost to lure everyone to search for him and create an opportunity for the bandits to attack the camp, his eyes immediately turned red.

They were brothers who ate from the same pot, and he and Liao Lei had a very good relationship.

Shen Xin concluded, "Captain Duan, what I've said is all speculation; there's no substantial evidence."

"And to confirm it, it's very simple, just find Sambu."

Whether they are accomplices can only be confirmed by finding them.

But for now, Shen Xinzhen feels that Sangbu is highly suspicious.

There was another moment of silence on the other end of the phone before Duan Zijie spoke.

Shen Xin could hear the surprise and anger in the voice on the other end.

Compared to external traitors, internal traitors are even more detestable.

"Shen Xin, your analysis is very likely," Duan Zijie said in a deep voice.

Some things can't withstand close scrutiny.

He particularly agreed with Shen Xin's prediction regarding the two essential conditions.

Otherwise, how could those two thugs have been so lucky to arrive at the time when there were the fewest people in the camp?

If even two more people were left at the camp, those two would never return.

Duan Zijie continued, "In that case, I will arrange for someone to go to Sangbu's house to investigate his situation, especially his financial situation."

A grid worker who collaborates with poachers can only be motivated by money.

Herdsmen on the grasslands have limited sources of income.

It's better not to know you. If I knew you, I would definitely find clues if I investigated.

Shen Xin meant it this way: everything revolves around money, so the money needs to be investigated.

In particular, the supplies and transportation for the two criminals hiding on the grassland are a considerable expense, and if there is any problem, it will definitely be found out.

How the three people communicate with each other is also a clue.

Now that he has disappeared, is it possible that Sangbu was there to meet him?

Then we can use mobile phone location tracking to find the remaining criminal by tracing Sambu's whereabouts.

Duan Zijie knows all these things perfectly well; he doesn't need anyone to remind him.

"Shen Xin, thanks."

Duan Zijie thanked him and quickly hung up the phone.

He was under a lot of pressure after this happened.

The league, the banner, and even the provincial department have all inquired about this and given clear instructions that no expense should be spared in finding the person as soon as possible.

If they are indeed border crossers, then they must be kept inside the country.

After hanging up the phone, Lakshin felt extremely heavy-hearted.

Although it has not yet been confirmed whether it is Sambu.

But if that were the case, then Liao Lei would have almost died at the hands of the criminals.

For this reason alone, he could not forgive Sambu.

He suddenly rode off on his horse to return to the village and check on the situation.

Shen Xin quickly stopped him.

"Chief, the key now is to find the person first."

Shen Xinyou has a method.

Shen Xin took out his phone and called Donya.

It's almost five o'clock, and the eastern sky is already turning a pale white; dawn is just around the corner.

The call was answered immediately. Donya hadn't rested and was still at the camp looking after Teddy. She immediately asked how things were going.

They also said that Teddy was very unruly.

Shen Xin didn't bother to explain and told her to just let Teddy go.

"Release them?" The person on the other end was taken aback.

Shen Xin said, "Yes, just release him and tell him I'm in the northeast. Let him come find me himself. It's okay, he can find me."

Don't waste time going back to the village. Just tell them the general direction, and Teddy will find himself soon.

Donya was a little confused on the other end of the phone, wondering if Teddy would understand if she told him which direction she was in?
But since Shen Xin had made this arrangement, she didn't ask any more questions. She immediately grabbed Teddy, pointed to the northeast, and told him that Shen Xin was there and that he should go find him himself.

She was afraid Teddy wouldn't understand, so she repeated it several times.

Teddy couldn't wait any longer. He pecked her hand, and as soon as she let go, he flapped his wings and flew northeast, disappearing in an instant.

Meanwhile, in Lakshin...

While waiting for Teddy, Shen Xin thought of another question.

Previously, without suspecting Sangbu, Shen Xin believed that the criminals were trying to escape across the border in the northeast direction.

But now, the situation has changed.

Shen Xin wondered if it was possible that the criminals' plan to withdraw from the northeast was also a deliberate attempt to create confusion.
The crowd stopped moving.

Shen Xin dismounted, crossed his arms, and paced back and forth on the grass, his mind racing.

Just think about how they can succeed in their plan.

Liao Lei fought back fiercely, but without a gun, he was at a significant disadvantage against two opponents.

But the fact that the other side didn't fire indicates that they had reservations.

Therefore, even if they successfully kidnap the falcon, they probably won't do anything to Liao Lei.

They also knew that the camp had police dogs capable of long-distance tracking.

If they were in their shoes, they would also have to find a way to escape capture.

Moreover, they must know that attacking the camp would be a huge deal, and all the police would be mobilized to track them down using the police dogs.

Could this be a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain?
Their actual escape route was not to the northeast, but to the northwest!
Shen Xin stopped and looked westward.

The west side is the no-man's land, where there's a possibility of sneaking across the border. The east side is covered with barbed wire and border posts everywhere. Would you risk your life to run into bullets?

Shen Xin felt that their original plan was to seize the falcon and draw the pursuit forces to the east.

Then they met up with Sangbu along the way, and then turned west.

Make a time difference and launch a feint attack.

Taking advantage of the moment when the search forces to the west were diverted, they seized the only remaining opportunity and quickly crossed the border.

Once they cross the border, they're free to roam as they please, and nobody can do anything about it.

But now the situation has changed.

Donya once said that the two thugs were brothers; the older brother was smart, while the younger brother was rather straightforward.

From the older brother's perspective, the plan had failed, and escaping would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

The best way is to sacrifice someone as bait.

This person cannot be Sangbu, because Sangbu would still be useful and could help him cross the border.

That can only be this silly younger brother.

It was precisely because the younger brother fired the gun that they lost the falcon, which triggered a series of events that followed.

Shen Xin wondered if his brother had come up with the idea of ​​sacrificing his younger brother by getting out of the car on foot so that his brother could attract the police's attention.

He secretly met up with Sangbu and they evacuated according to the original plan.

This man claimed he only wanted money, but his determination to attack the camp proved he was far more ruthless than he appeared.

Thinking of this, Shen Xin immediately asked for the satellite phone again and called Duan Zijie.

"A feint to the east while attacking in the west?" Duan Zijie broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Shen Xin's analysis on the other end of the phone.

Shen Xin's speculation was indeed irresponsible, but there is a real possibility of it.

After all, the other party had already demonstrated a strong counter-surveillance awareness after the incident.

His reunion with Sangbu also gave him the opportunity to use a motorcycle to launch a feint attack.

"Shen Xin, thanks. I'll tell the command."

Duan Zijie thanked him again and quickly hung up the phone.

The search and arrest forces from the west were indeed transferred here because the criminals fled to the east.

Even if there are still people in the west, once they are transferred, loopholes will inevitably appear.

If given time to think things through calmly, Duan Zijie believes he might be able to come up with this idea.

But only five hours have passed since the incident, and the pressure is immense, making it impossible to calm down and think things through.

This allowed the criminals to take advantage of the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Teddy arrived.

Although they are more than ten kilometers apart, this distance is negligible to birds.

He swooped down and landed precisely on Shen Xin's shoulder, then launched into a long, rambling monologue.

【where have you been】

[Cannot leave]

【go back】

I guess it's trying to say that instead of staying home and resting, you're running around everywhere.

Lakshin and the others were incredulous.

I know there are eagle and falcon trainers on the grasslands, but it's still too incredible that they could accurately find the owner from such a distance.

Shen Xin asked Lakshin to use a satellite phone to retrieve Sangbu's ID photo.

Then I brought Teddy over to comfort him and showed him the photos.

I tried it with Donya before, but I'm not sure if it will work with photos.

"Did you remember?" Shen Xin asked.

Teddy tilted his head.

What to do?

He seemed more puzzled that Shen Xin was sending him around instead of staying by his side.

Food

He seemed more concerned with hunting for Shen Xin.

Shen Xin could only patiently repeat it a few more times.

Remembered

His large eyes revealed impatience.

Shen Xin has confirmed that, despite being a bird, it is quite intelligent.

Shen Xin pointed to the northwest.

"Go find it, and come back and tell me when you find it!"

Teddy tilted its head and glanced at Shen Xin, then flapped its wings and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

Shen Xin immediately called for Lakshin and his group to set off.

Lakshin suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed, "Shen Xin, you're not planning to use the falcon to find Sangbu, are you?"

Shen Xin didn't want to explain too much, so he just nodded and said, "That's right, Teddy has seen Sambu. Believe me, he can find the person."

With that, they spurred their horses and set off.

Tian Kui let out a roar and immediately followed.

Tian Jian and the other young people couldn't wait to catch up.

Anyway, they realized that Shen Xin was smarter than them, and he would do whatever they were told.

"Hongur".

Lakshin's gaze followed Shen Xin, muttering to himself.

He told Zhang Qifeng about it when he returned from Nanjiang.

They say Shen Xin resembles Hong Gu'er from the legendary grassland poetry.

He is a child of nature, a hero, and can even understand the language of animals.

Coming to his senses, Lakshin took a deep breath and immediately spurred his horse to catch up.

He didn't care about anything else right now; he just wanted to catch the person and make this audacious poacher receive the punishment he deserved.

Birds fly in the sky at extremely high speeds.

Not to mention falcons.

The rising sun gradually illuminated the earth.

The group rode on horseback for about an hour, and then Teddy's shadow appeared on the horizon.

Shen Xin reined in his horse.

Teddy whistled and landed on Shen Xin's shoulder.

【found it】

He has already started to take advantage of Shen Xin.

With this thought in mind, Shen Xin immediately saw the relevant scene.

In an instant, it was as if I had opened my third eye, my vision soared, and I appeared high in the sky.

The earth swept rapidly beneath my feet.

Only at this moment did Shen Xin realize just how terrifying the falcon's eyes were.

The view swept across the land, flashing at a high frequency, constantly magnifying and then pulling back.

No detail on the grassland could escape his eyes.

It's like a high-speed slideshow.

The target was quickly identified.

On a desolate grassland, the two rode a motorcycle.

The field of vision is narrowed.

It was so clear that Shen Xin could see the fine hairs on their cheeks.

That's right, he's the older brother of Sangbu and the two thugs.

Shen Xin also noticed that his brother was holding the car with one hand, but with the other hand he was holding a gun, which was pressed against Sangbu's back.

The image disappeared, and Shen Xin came back to his senses.

Everyone was looking at him, and Lakshin asked uncertainly if he had found it.

The scene only lasted for a moment.

Shen Xin was thrilled; once they were discovered, they wouldn't be able to escape.

With a jerk of his arm, Shen Xin released Teddy again and shouted, "Teddy, take me to him!"

In mid-air, Teddy barked in response and headed west.

Shen Xin pulled on the reins and quickly followed.

Tian Kui accompanied him.

Lakshin and others also rode along on horseback.

The horses' hooves clattered, and the vast grassland stretched out beneath our feet.

At that moment, the poem by Grandpa Su popped into Shen Xin's mind again.

With a yellow dog on the left and a falcon on the right, adorned in brocade hats and sable furs, a thousand horsemen swept across the plain!
