Animal Detective

Chapter 389 I'll Die for You
With a thought in mind, Shen Xin followed Huang Mingjie's suggestion and pretended to sigh with difficulty.

“I don’t know what happened, but I just took a liking to this falcon. I heard from others that there are eagle trainers and falcon trainers on the grasslands, but it takes a lot of hard work.”

"He's really something else. You wouldn't believe it, he's become the one who's keeping me on my toes. Now he even follows me to the bathroom."

"If they don't see me for a while, they become incredibly restless, leaving me completely helpless."

Shen Xin's remark that he was enduring hardship himself amused Huang Mingjie and the others present.

Huang Mingjie smiled and said, "This is called being destined to meet you."

He knew that Shen Xin was an expert at training police dogs, and he had already trained a first-class meritorious dog.

Nowadays, people like Tianxiong saved Lakshin and ordinary people. Shouldn't he be rewarded for his service?

With such talent, it's not surprising that he makes eye contact with a falcon.

“However, what you said is a problem.” Huang Mingjie’s tone changed.

He knew that Shen Xin was about to leave.

If Shen Xinyi leaves, this falcon will cause a ruckus and won't be able to keep up.

It is, after all, an endangered and rare first-class protected animal, on par with the giant panda.

"Why don't you stay here? I'll try to figure out if I can get you transferred to work in Xingle League," Huang Mingjie suddenly said.

And it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment decision.

In this manhunt, Shen Xin's analysis and prediction of the criminals' escape route and their accomplices were extremely accurate.

His analytical skills and keen intuition demonstrate that he is undoubtedly an outstanding criminal investigation police officer.

What is someone who is not only highly skilled in their profession but also capable of training police dogs?
It's talent!
If they can stay, without a doubt, within two years, the entire grassland will be filled with police dogs.

Shen Xin hadn't expected Huang Mingjie to have such an unconventional way of thinking.

He deliberately played the victim to see if Huang Mingjie could come up with a solution.

He, on the other hand, took everything in one fell swoop, including the birds, and started poaching people directly.

Even if he were willing, Zhao Hongjie wouldn't be.

Shen Xin quickly said, "Director Huang, you have no idea what I'm like at work. If I were transferred here, I'd only make you angry."

Huang Mingjie was probably just testing the waters casually, and laughed and said, "Then you should do me a favor. Okay, just for that, I'll have to think of a way to help you with this falcon problem you mentioned."

Shen Xin quickly thanked him.

He then asked about using falcons to hunt down criminals.

He was extremely curious about this.

At that time, Dawag and Sambu were already very close to the border.

If Teddy hadn't been able to spot them from the air, their feint might have actually succeeded.

If someone manages to escape at that point, many people from top to bottom will inevitably be held accountable.

Shen Xin couldn't explain the situation in too much detail, he could only say that Teddy was smart enough to recognize others.

For example, after he met Sangbu, he tried to get him to track down Sangbu.

And when I tried it, it actually worked!

Shen Xin even gave a live demonstration, setting Tian Jian as the target, riding away on horseback, and then releasing Teddy to chase after him.

They spotted the other person easily.

Huang Mingjie was amazed, saying it was even better than a drone.

Drones have battery life anxiety, but Teddy bears are different; they consume a field mouse every 100 kilometers.

After experiencing what he had learned, Huang Mingjie did not stay any longer.

The perpetrators have been apprehended, but many details still require interrogation and verification.

This is a case that's been put on the radar by the provincial authorities; he has to keep a close eye on it personally.

The group of leaders left in a hurry.

Shen Xin didn't see Duan Zijie and wanted to find out the details.

However, upon reflection, one can deduce the general details of the case.

The two brothers came specifically to poach the dog. How they found Teddy and how long they tracked him down is irrelevant.

The important thing is that they committed a crime.

As for Sangbu, how he was corrupted by the two brothers and became their accomplice is not worth discussing much.

Ultimately, he was blinded by greed.

Shen Xin could guess some of the details, such as how Sangbu helped the two survive in the no-man's land and bought various supplies.

The case itself is not complicated; the trouble is catching the person.

Back at the camp, everyone was circling around Tianxiong.

Touching Tianxiong's half-empty belly, Lakshen's eyes reddened, and he said that he had been running around outside for so long and was starving.

Shen Xin expressed strong doubt about this.

Aside from the first few days, Tianxiong was fed quite a bit on the highway afterwards.

Step on the scale now, and you might even have gained weight.

"Shen Xin, are you leaving?" Donya, who had been there the whole time, came over now and asked softly.

Shen Xin nodded: "Tomorrow, I'll book the plane tickets in a bit now that Tianxiong has been found."

Staying a couple more days and taking a paid vacation wouldn't be a problem.

But now that I'm leading my own troops, I can't let the morale of the soldiers down.

Donya's eyes flickered, and she mustered her courage to ask again, "Will you come back?"

"Yes."

Shen Xin nodded immediately. "Why shouldn't they come back?" he thought.

Donya's eyes suddenly lit up.

But Shen Xin's next words quickly dimmed the light in her eyes.

Shen Xin said, "Since I came here, I've heard you all say that the Wugai Grassland has beautiful scenery, but I haven't had a chance to go and see it. I'll pick a good day in the summer and see if I can take a vacation and come and visit."

Forget about holidays, I'll definitely be on duty.

But I have annual leave.

Shen Xin pondered whether the four of them in the office could take their annual leave together and have a team-building activity.

To increase team cohesion.

Shen Xin thought it was a good fit, since he wasn't prone to attracting mosquitoes.

Before leaving, Ding Yuwei put mosquito repellent in her mouth, but she didn't need to use it.

Shen Xin was completely unaware of the presence of mosquitoes.

It's not necessarily because mosquitoes haven't become rampant yet; it might be related to genetics.

Shen Xin had once worried that mosquitoes, after all, were animals.

Shen Xin wanted some favorability points, but he politely declined any favorability points from the mosquitoes.

Donya said "oh," remembering the two girls who told Tianxiong about his whereabouts in the video last night.

She couldn't help but look down at her cleavage.

Just then, Sangbu's parents rushed over. They could hear the crying from afar, and as soon as they entered the door, they cried out that they were innocent and asked if there had been a mistake.

Sangbu is such a good boy, how could he do bad things? What kind of accomplices are they?

She wanted to ask Lakshin to help her talk to the leader.

A number of herders who came to watch the spectacle followed, making the whole camp chaotic.

Seeing that Donya was about to step forward to persuade her, Shen Xin pulled her back.

"What are you going up there for?"

In a parent's eyes, their child is always the best.

But there should be no doubt that Sangbu committed a crime. If he hadn't acted as an inside man, passing on information and purchasing supplies, how could those two brothers have stayed on the grassland for so long?
There's no way they would have committed the series of things that followed. And Donya, has that silly girl forgotten how close she got to her death?

If you go up and try to persuade them, do you think they'll appreciate your efforts?

Donya couldn't break free, so she had to give up.

Making a fuss about this is useless. Liao Lei was almost strangled to death by two thugs, and Lakshin told Sangbu's parents directly that no amount of pleading would help.

If you commit a crime, you must be punished.

This matter is egregious and there is no room for leniency.

That evening, to celebrate Tianxiong's return, Lakshin called his wife over at the camp and personally cooked a whole roasted lamb for Shen Xin.

Once the villagers arrive, there will inevitably be a bonfire party.

Although he hadn't drunk any alcohol, Lakshin was already deeply moved. His face flushed red, and he pulled Tianxiong aside to swear to Shen Xin that even if something happened to him in the future, he would never let Tianxiong get into trouble again.

Shen Xin quickly stopped him, saying that he shouldn't say such things carelessly.

Moreover, sincerity begets sincerity. He was good to Tianxiong, and when Lakshen was in danger, Tianxiong rushed over to protect him without hesitation.

The only problem now is Teddy.

After much consideration, Shen Xin decided that it was better to give him a short, sharp pain than a long, drawn-out one.

Taking him back doesn't feel realistic.

Shen Xin asked Teacher Chen Wanbin.

In other words, can a dog like Teddy survive in the South?

He meant it was unlikely, saying that falcons prefer arid, semi-arid continental climates.

Meanwhile, Nanjiang is hot, rainy, and humid.

Living in such an environment makes them susceptible to feather lice and various fungal diseases.

Furthermore, the urban environment is complex and does not suit their hunting habits.

Sending them to a zoo would allow for an artificially simulated living environment, but being kept in captivity for a long time, unable to even fly, would be torture for them.

Moreover, after talking with Teacher Chen, Shen Xin learned that no zoo in the country keeps saker falcons.

There are plenty of vultures, eagles, and owls, but not a saker falcon.

Not to mention such a rare albino mutated falcon.

Taking these factors into consideration, Shen Xincai decided to leave Teddy on the grassland.

This is his home, the place where he can live and be truly free.

Bringing him to the city to live in concrete jungle would be too selfish.

My flight was scheduled for 11 a.m. the next day, and as usual, I had a layover in Ankyoreh.

Therefore, Shen Xin secretly set off early the next morning.

The journey to the airport is quite long.

I specially changed the cage for Teddy.

Lock him up for a while, until he forgets himself, then try to let him go.

Shen Xindu had already arranged with Teacher Chen to send Teddy to their observation station for care.

Then see if we can find him a suitable partner.

With a new love, one can naturally forget the old one.

I got out of bed very carefully.

The slight noise eventually woke Teddy up.

After spending two days together, he was able to accept Shen Xin's short-term disappearances. As long as it wasn't a long-term disappearance, he was fine with it.

Shen Xin decisively slipped away.

Outside the camp, people saw them off, and the atmosphere was inevitably sad.

"Don't worry, I'll come again if I have the chance."

As for saying goodbye, Shen Xin didn't feel anything special. With communication so advanced these days, he could just post something on his WeChat Moments and they would like it the next day.

There's really no need to make it sound like a life-or-death separation.

I dragged my heavy suitcase onto the bus.

It was stuffed with local specialties like beef jerky and milk tofu, all authentic stuff.

"goodbye!"

Shen Xin waved goodbye to everyone.

And then there was Tianxiong, who barked a few times in this direction.

Tiankui heard this, poked his head out, and responded with a few words.

If you think things get out of control, feel free to contact me.

Shen Xin waved his arms until they were out of sight before he withdrew them.

Just then, through the rearview mirror, Shen Xin saw a man and a horse galloping towards him.

It's Donya!

She rode her horse, Honggul, galloping wildly in the morning sun.

Zhang Qifeng, who was driving, wanted to stop the car, but Shen Xin stopped him.

During yesterday's bonfire party, this girl joked that she was easily moved to tears and wouldn't be coming to see me off this morning.

I didn't expect it to happen anyway.

Shen Xin peeked out and waved goodbye to her.

Donya chased after the car for a while longer before reining it in and stopping on a hillside, watching it slowly disappear into the distance.

"Shen Xin, goodbye..."

She shouted at the top of her lungs, and her voice echoed across the grassland.

"Goodbye."

Shen Xin also shouted, and finally waved his hand, signaling her to go back.

Donya didn't move, just watched from afar, clutching a small, colorful embroidered pouch in her hand.

On the grasslands, this thing is called a tobacco pouch, also known as a habuteg.

It is a token of love given by a woman from the grasslands to a man.

Hongur turned his head and looked at Donya, his eyes seeming to ask, "Are you not going to chase after her?"
Donya clutched her purse; she knew she could catch up.

But giving this as a gift would only add a burden to the recipient.

If it's a burden, she'd rather bear it herself.

"goodbye……"

Donya murmured softly, took one last look at the off-road vehicle on the horizon, and turned to leave.

……

And perhaps because we said goodbye so many times, we really did say goodbye.

Shen Xin was on a plane, having arrived in Anjing, waiting to transfer back to Nanjiang, when he received another call from Lakshin.

They said it wouldn't work; they couldn't handle Teddy.

He frantically flapped and barked inside the cage, even banging against it, seemingly about to injure himself.

I made a video call.

Upon seeing Shen Xin, it became even more agitated, banging against the cage and trying to get out.

It was as if it meant, "If you don't come back, I'll kill myself."

What about Shen Xineng? He can't just ignore the debt he caused.
