Animal Detective

Chapter 393 It's not a big case, it's not worth Teddy's seven million dollars getting involved.
The sunrise was unforgettable for Shen Xin, but while it brought him joy, it took a toll on his health.

My legs were shaking after I came down the mountain.

There was no other way but to check into a hotel to rest, and then set off late at night. It wasn't until the next morning that we finally made it back to Nanjiang, exhausted from our journey.

As soon as I got off the highway, someone waved to me from the roadside.

Before Shen Xin's car had even come to a complete stop, a group of people eagerly came to greet him.

Everyone craned their necks to look into the car, their faces clearly saying, "Where is it?"

Chen Wanbin issued a license to Shen Xin, but that doesn't mean he just handed the Teddy over to Shen Xin and then ignored him.

Shen Xin is supposed to take responsibility, but does that mean he shouldn't?
What if a precious and extremely rare hybrid of a falcon and a gyrfalcon—a perfect coincidence of nature—is handed over to an outsider, and the falcon dies because of problems?
So when he said he was providing guidance on raising animals, he really meant guidance throughout the entire process.

During the journey, they kept in touch by phone, with Shen Xin being guided on how to observe the falcon's condition.

They even contacted Nanjiang in advance.

So the group of people in front of us includes people from the Parks and Forestry Bureau and people from the Zoo.

Both the old and new zoos sent people.

This is a pure white falcon; no zoo in the entire country keeps one of this rarity.

The next moment, the group saw the teddy bear inside the car, and their eyes lit up.

"It's so pure white."

"That's rare! How was it born?"

Amidst the chatter of the group, Shen Xin got out of the car and took a plastic sheet from the back seat.

It's all white inside.

Mentioning this brings back a flood of bitter tears for Shen Xin.

I'm also glad that I chose to drive back; it would have been much more troublesome to take a plane or high-speed train.

The problem lies in excretion.

Tiankui is fine, he can hold it in. Shen Xin can take him to the toilet to relieve himself.

But not Teddy.

He's a bird, notoriously straightforward, the kind that always puffs out a breath before taking off.

And while a dog only poops once or twice a day, he poops ten or twenty times a day.

Most importantly, he's a Splatoon.

Even more frightening, Chen Wanbin also asked Shen Xin to find a way to preserve Teddy's feces in order to monitor Teddy's physical condition.

So along the way, thinking about his new car, Shen Xin once had the urge to simply send it back to the grasslands and leave it at that.

"This is excrement, will anyone take it?" Shen Xin handed it over.

It has a strong smell.

Two veterinarians reached out at the same time, from different zoos.

They then exchanged a glance, their eyes sparking with unspoken tension.

They're fighting over poop!
Shen Xin felt ashamed inwardly.

I remember when I was on the grassland, I learned about their observation station and heard Tang complain that they spent a lot of time dealing with animal droppings.

In the end, the two of them took it together, spread it out on the spot, and asked Shen Xin which piece was the most recent.

"How should I know?" This question was driving Shen Xin to the brink of collapse.

The two gave up and took it aside to study.

There's no other way; it's scientific research.

Chen Wanbin believes that rats in big cities have excessive levels of heavy metals, and that eating them would cause problems for Teddy Bear dogs.

Moreover, the complex urban environment is not suitable for his swooping hunting style.

Don't be fooled by the sight of a rat on the road. It swoops down, gets tangled in electrical wires, gets hit by a car, and just when you're about to catch it, it darts into a sewer and crashes to the ground before you can stop in time.

The thought of all these scenarios terrified Chen Wanbin.

So his plan was to have Shen Xin train Teddy to stop hunting and to raise him in captivity.

Eating only meat isn't enough; you have to eat live animals.

Before setting off, Chen Wanbin got Shen Xin a cage of white mice to cultivate the Teddy's habit of being artificially raised.

Therefore, these two veterinarians need to check Teddy's health and whether he has any parasites by examining his feces as soon as possible.

The remaining few people were already captivated by Teddy's graceful figure.

Especially after Shen Xin took him out and carried him on his shoulder, the two zoo officials were extremely excited.

There's no way around it, he's really handsome.

Nearby, even cars that had just exited the highway started to stop and gather, taking photos with their phones.

After giving Teddy a final check-up and confirming that he was in good condition, the group reluctantly left.

The heads of both zoos left their contact information, trying to get on Shen Xin's good side.

We're very familiar with each other.

It is cooked.

When handling the Dadao Gold case, Shen Xin went to the old zoo in the new district and became very familiar with Director Hong of their park office.

He had also become acquainted with Manager Zhou of the aquarium during the previous dolphin case.

The aquarium and wildlife park in Lishan District are part of the same entity.

Shen Xin understood what they meant.

They just wanted to keep Teddy in their park.

Although Chen Wanbin said it wouldn't take more than a few months to recover, even a few months would be enough.

Summer vacation is just around the corner, which is peak season for visiting the zoo.

If a unique white falcon were exhibited at this time, it would be even more attractive than a panda.

Shen Xinxin said that if you were capable of separating Teddy from yourself, you wouldn't have had to bring him all the way back from the grasslands.

This falcon will most likely be kept at the municipal bureau.

Then teach him slowly, let him get used to and accept that he will leave from time to time, until he can live alone.

After saying goodbye, Shen Xin immediately drove back to the Municipal Bureau.

I sent a message in advance saying I would arrive today, but when I got to the municipal bureau, no one was there.

Do you still want a gift?

As soon as the car door opened, Tian Kui jumped out.

He doesn't need to worry about it; the Municipal Bureau is his home, and he won't get lost no matter where he goes.

Carrying Teddy on his shoulder, Shen Xin walked into the office building with his head held high.

"Damn, Shen Xin, Eagle, that's awesome!"

Upon encountering someone, I was immediately drawn to Teddy's agile figure.

Shen Xin shook his head: "No, it's not an eagle, it's a falcon, a saker falcon, it's different."

It feels like you've caught a huge fish weighing dozens of kilograms and now you want to take it all over the city.

Unfortunately, the municipal bureau has a large area but few people.

But that's okay, the news will spread eventually.

Especially after experiencing the ordeal at Mount Tai.

Shen Xin estimated that it wouldn't be long before the relevant videos were all over the internet.

Upon reaching the second floor, I pushed open the door to the unsolved case office.

"I returned……"

Shen Xin's words came to an abrupt end.

The room was empty. Shen Xin glanced at the conference room and the small office, but no one was there.

Where did you go? I told you in advance that I would arrive this morning.

Just as he was about to make a call to inquire, a colleague from the organized crime squad next door passed by and saw Shen Xin.

Needless to say, Teddy is absolutely stunning.

Shen Xin asked where his people were, and learned that they were all on the roof.

Then I remembered that I had mentioned to Ding Yuwei yesterday that I asked her to help me get a house for Teddy.

They built it on the rooftop because falcons like to nest at high places.

When I took the elevator to the top floor, I found that there were quite a few people there, all joining in the fun.

Zhang Hancheng smiled and said to Deputy Captain Du Yong, "How about it, Lao Du? I told you, it'll take at least twenty minutes."

On the rooftop, in a corner away from the various fans, Ding Yuwei was directing Yang Zeran and the others to do carpentry work.

"What, twenty minutes?" Shen Xin asked curiously, greeting everyone.

Another deputy detachment leader, He Jinxian, was also there. He was a bit taller, but he was always smiling and, according to Yang Zeran, was easy to get along with.

Political Commissar Xu Daoke said with a smile, "They're guessing how long it will take you from getting off the bus to going upstairs."

Shen Xin suddenly realized that they had all seen him from the rooftop when he got out of the car.

With a slight blush, Shen Xin sighed and said, "There's nothing I can do. Zhang Zhi is like the Buddha in the Western Paradise. My little thoughts can't be hidden from you at all."

"Stop it."

Zhang Hancheng stepped forward, curiously examining Teddy, and asked if he could handle it.

That's absolutely true.

Shen Xin lifted Teddy and placed it on Zhang Hancheng's shoulder.

Teddy wasn't too afraid; he just tilted his head and curiously looked at Zhang Hancheng.

Zhang Hancheng quickly handed his phone to Shen Xin and asked Shen Xin to take a picture for him.

As soon as he took the lead, everyone crowded around.

Teddy was a little scared, and with a flick of its wings, it landed lightly on Shen Xin's shoulder.

"So cool!" Zhao Tianxing had already dropped his hammer and ran over to take a photo with Shen Xin, jokingly saying, "Shen Xin, you're carrying seven million on your shoulders!"

Yang Zeran nodded in deep agreement and said, "You're just missing a piece of cloth on your head right now."

Shen Xin had told them about Teddy's million-dollar value.

Du Yong asked curiously if it could fly.

Shen Xin shrugged, and Teddy took the opportunity to leap up, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

It was extremely fast, and in an instant it flew into the sky, circling around everywhere.

Perfect, it'll also let him get familiar with his surroundings and broaden his horizons.

Wait a moment.

Shen Xin whistled loudly.

Upon hearing this, Teddy immediately landed, precisely on Shen Xin's raised arm.

Where is it again?

Listening to my inner thoughts, I don't feel quite satisfied.

But everyone stared wide-eyed.

Zhao Tianxing shook his head: "Shen Xin, you're so handsome it's unbelievable."

Everyone nodded in agreement, their minds already conjuring up images of a falcon swooping down from the sky, accompanied by a loud cry.

It must have been after Zhao Hongjie saw the flying teddy bear in the office that he came running.

"Shen Xin, well done."

After quickly offering a compliment, I was eager to take a photo with Teddy.

Zhang Hancheng nodded in agreement.

Shen Xin's trip to Suihar wasn't just about finding Tianxiong and bringing back a falcon; he also helped them solve a case.

This is not a small case.

Xingle League had already sent a letter of thanks.

For the municipal bureau, that would be a source of pride.

For a police officer, the most fundamental thing is being able to solve cases.

Speaking of this case, Zhang Hancheng pulled Shen Xin aside and asked, "Shen Xin, did you really find that last poacher using a falcon?"

Out of curiosity, Zhang Hancheng inquired about the case.

Some details are still unclear, but it seems that the case itself is not complicated.

The main problem was that these two poachers were very bold and had a strong sense of counter-surveillance.

If Shen Xin hadn't seen through their intentions and used Teddy to find the two, Dawag and Sangbu might have actually escaped across the border.

Zhang Hancheng was extremely curious.

"How does this falcon find people? Does it just fly in the sky and look around?" Zhang Hancheng gestured towards the sky.

Shen Xin couldn't explain it too clearly, so he could only nod and say that was about right.

They say falcons are among the most intelligent birds.

Otherwise, why would there be falcon training for hunting?

Teddy bears are genetically mutated and are therefore more intelligent. They can recognize not only people but also photos and can find people based on pictures.

With his eyesight, he could see everything clearly even when flying high in the sky.

“That’s even better than a drone,” Zhang Hancheng said.

As drones become increasingly affordable, and based on the experience of other cities, the municipal government has begun to pay attention to their application in policing.

Zhang Hancheng also heard that the ministry may introduce relevant technical standards for police drones this year and vigorously promote their use.

However, there are still many limitations.

For example, battery life.

Nothing beats this bird; once it's full, it can fly in the sky forever.

Zhang Hancheng continued, "That means we can also use this falcon for reconnaissance, just like you used the cat before."

Shen Xin nodded, thinking to himself that it was definitely a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft.

Of course, this also allows for reconnaissance.

It would be difficult to expect Teddy to do anything else.

In the three days since he returned, Shen Xin had actually thought about this matter while driving, considering what difficulties it might present.

For example, how do you communicate with Teddy and recall him when you are at a distance?

You just said he'd come back once he found out, but what if you didn't really understand?

Shen Xin's solution was still to use equipment.

Teddy can easily catch and kill wild rabbits and carry several small pieces of equipment.

The only question is whether it's necessary to use it.

With surveillance cameras everywhere and drones flying all over the sky, it feels like there's not much point in using them.

Unless it's a major case, it's not worth Teddy, who's worth seven million, getting involved.

Zhang Hancheng was very interested. After thinking it over, he said eagerly, "Let's give it a try. I'll ask Old Chen later if there are any big cases."

He was referring to Chen Guanglin, the head of the anti-drug squad of the municipal public security bureau.
