Animal Detective

Chapter 395: Everyone began to suspect there was a mole within the team.

Back in the office, Ding Yuwei and the other two were circling around Teddy.

Zhao Tianxing tried to make another move, but Ding Yuwei slapped him away repeatedly.

Yang Zeran, on the other hand, was much more practical. He was video chatting with his wife, Song Xiangli, and boasting that it was a bird worth seven million.

Teddy barely paid any attention to the three of them.

But as soon as they saw Shen Xin return, their attitude immediately changed, and they limped over to greet him.

Where did you go?

He shouted, and he was quite nosy.

Shen Xin just got back from his business trip. He drove such a long way, so there's no reason for him to start working today. He's going to go home first.

My dad kept asking me when I was coming home and where Falcon was.

And Yueyue, she's been gone for several days, I have to go see her too.

"By the way, how's the investigation into the poisoning case going?" Shen Xin asked.

I was away on a business trip for a few days, but the work in the office didn't stop.

After the case at the aquarium was closed and the legal process began, they identified another poisoning case.

It's a case from Tingyang District.

Shen Xin's attitude toward this case is rather ambiguous.

First of all, this is a murder case.

Nowadays, the municipal bureau has established a special office for unsolved cases, which is taken very seriously.

Therefore, the investigation should focus on relatively difficult murder cases.

Rather than those ordinary unsolved cases, such as a theft that occurred in a certain place in a certain year, or a common case where a driver was robbed but no one died.

Secondly, in Ding Yuwei's words, the victim in this case owned a cat, which is Shen Xin's area of ​​expertise.

Shen Xin wanted to thank her.

The cat in this case was abandoned after the incident, and three years later, it's still unknown whether it's alive or dead.

Secondly, Shen Xin was skeptical about their choice of a poisoning case.

Among the many types of criminal cases, two types are particularly difficult to solve.

One type is the stranger-on-street crime, which means I randomly kill someone at a random location and then flee the scene.

Shen Xin had handled similar cases before; whether or not they could be solved largely depended on luck.

Another type is poisoning cases.

Moreover, the poisoning case is somewhat special, belonging to the type that is both easy and difficult.

It's easy because you can trace the source of the poison based on the type of poisoning.

Moreover, poisoning is usually a premeditated act, and by investigating around the victim, clues can be easily found.

However, poisoning cases are extremely difficult to solve.

Some are rare poisons, making it difficult to trace their origin.

Some are delayed-acting poisons, which take effect slowly, making it difficult to establish evidence.

Secondly, it is not easy to detect.

Because some poisoning symptoms are similar to those of common diseases, such as acute liver failure, there are many factors in life that can cause this condition.

The doctor and family wouldn't easily associate it with poisoning.

If someone dies from illness, it will be handled as a normal death from illness. The blood test results from the hospital and the forensic examination are completely different.

In addition, the autopsy rate for unnatural deaths in China is relatively low.

Therefore, some poisoning cases may not be discovered, and the victims die without even knowing why.

If such a case becomes an unsolved case, the difficulty of solving it is unimaginable.

Sure enough, upon inquiry, it was revealed that they had spent the past few days reviewing the case files from that year and going over the names of the people involved in the case again.

And then nothing was found.

As for the cat, Zhao Tianxing was in charge of finding it. It was a bitter experience to talk about, saying that now that there are mosquitoes, the cat is crawling around in the bushes.

I've been scratched by stray cats quite a few times, and I've only survived thanks to the rabies vaccine.

"Shen Xin, we need to use Da Mei." Zhao Tianxing said seriously.

If we're looking for a cat, DaMei, being a top beauty in the feline world, would be more suitable.

"Okay, you guys can leave work early this afternoon, and then we'll set aside some time tomorrow to go over the case and discuss directions."

Shen Xin gave a word of advice, then dragged his luggage and left.

Let's go to the aquarium first.

Teddy can't live without me; he has to stay with me all the time.

Shen Xin is already very familiar with the aquarium, but Li Fusen's case is still going through the legal process.

The person has been uncooperative and has refused to disclose certain information.

However, since there are videos on the cloud drive, whether or not I disclose them doesn't matter.

The reason is that there hasn't been any on-site identification yet, and Ding Yuwei said it's because they're not cooperating.

When asked to identify the crime scene, Li Fusen shouted that he would rather kill himself by crashing his head into a wall.

In fact, Shen Xin felt that Li Fusen didn't need to do that.

Or rather, he cares too much about what others think.

Just now, only a few days have passed, and the staff at the aquarium entrance have already stopped asking about Li Fusen's situation.

When they arrived at the dolphinarium, they met Chen Sili and Wang Hui, but neither of them inquired about Li Fusen.

For ordinary people, no matter how bizarre Li Fusen's actions may seem, they are merely topics of conversation during leisure time. Everyone has their own life, and who can truly keep an eye on him all the time?

When we met Yueyue again, she was incredibly enthusiastic, rushing ashore in one breath, flapping her pectoral fins and calling out incessantly.

Chen Sili couldn't help but say that Yueyue had been quite a handful while Shen Xin was away.

When she gets upset or in a bad mood, she goes and beats up Xingbao and Yuebao.

He couldn't win against two opponents alone, so now they specifically arrange for someone to be there at night to prevent them from fighting.

Don't go.

This is Yueyue's heartfelt sentiment.

Upon physical contact, Shen Xin saw what he was thinking.

Fortunately, there were no prohibited scenes; it was all about Shen Xin accompanying Yueyue, cleaning his body, and playing with him.

It can only be said that, setting aside biological instincts, Yueyue and Shen Xin had already established a sufficiently deep intimacy. [Who is this?]

Teddy even popped out of the backpack and stared intently at Yueyue.

Shen Xin ignored him.

Zhou Xianyong arrived upon hearing the news, and his eyes lit up just like Teddy's and Chen Sili's.

"Officer Shen, is this the falcon you brought back from the grassland? It's so beautiful."

Zhou Xianyong had already heard about it from the people at the neighboring zoo.

They were also discussing how an albino genetic mutation of the falcon had occurred, and why it couldn't leave Shen Xin and insisted that Shen Xin take it back to Nanjiang to raise.

Zhou Xianyong has something to say about this.

He witnessed firsthand how Shen Xin trained the dolphins to be completely obedient.

Shen Xin asked them about selling dolphins.

Zhou Xianyong said, "We're selling Yueyue because she's too noisy and doesn't get along with Xingbao and Yuebao at all."

"We're planning to move there soon. If you have time, you can come and visit later."

Transporting dolphins is no small matter; accidents can easily happen.

If Shen Xin were there, things would be much easier.

Shen Xin felt a little relieved.

Buying Yueyue back is simply unrealistic.

Selling it in the new district will make it easier for me to visit him more often.

As for the clingy problem, Shen Xin felt it would get much better once he found a new love.

The next day, as Shen Xingang was at work, Zhang Hancheng called him into his office and talked about the gambling bust case.

I just called yesterday.

But since it was Zhang Hancheng who made the call, his subordinates must have taken it seriously.

“This group of people is quite interesting.” Zhang Hancheng teased Teddy and told Shen Xin about the details.

This group set up a gambling den in the mountains.

There are many mountains in Jigang Township, which are generally not high, but cover a considerable area.

Once they hide in the mountains, they are difficult to find.

Normally, cases involving casinos set up in the mountains are relatively easy to investigate.

First, they can go undercover in plainclothes to investigate and find out the situation at the casino.

Secondly, they have certain characteristics. The areas they choose are definitely remote and desolate, and the routes up the mountain are limited. At the locations they must pass through, there must be lookouts.

In the past, those people who would inexplicably drive up to sell things at sparsely populated intersections were most likely lookouts.

Finally, there are reports from the public.

In big cities, there are hardly any truly desolate wilderness areas.

Some people even go to these remote places specifically to explore, do off-roading, and so on.

With these three things in place, once discovered, the other party has no chance of escaping.

But this group is different.

Zhang Hancheng explained several points.

First of all, they are well-organized, and all guests are picked up and dropped off by dedicated personnel and vehicles. They do not serve non-regular customers.

Before boarding, they will check whether you are carrying any electronic devices.

Upon arriving at the casino, there were also mobile electromagnetic interference and signal jamming devices.

Shen Xin asked curiously, "If the signal is blocked, how will the sentries on the perimeter notify them?"

To crack down on this kind of gambling, we need to keep watch on the periphery, figure out their patterns, and then plan the arrests.

Electromagnetic interference is all-encompassing, so if an emergency occurs, wouldn't the hidden sentries also be unable to notify the mountain?

Zhang Hancheng said, "That's what I meant by interesting."

He continued to explain the situation.

Such reports are either made by ordinary people by chance, or by gamblers who have lost too much and are so angry that they take the initiative to report it.

Li Fang and his team started monitoring this group based on a tip-off.

After investigation, they quickly identified the target and then planned a capture operation.

As a result, they came up empty-handed.

More accurately, they raided a fake casino.

But just like the real thing, there were lookouts on the outside, and they also observed the gamblers being picked up by cars and taken up the mountain.

After confirming that the gamblers were on the mountain and observing them closely, they discovered the sunshade before taking action.

When they went to check, the gambler wasn't there at all.

There were people present, but they were not gamblers and there was no gambling activity.

In other words, this is a smokescreen.

At that time, Li Fang and his group suspected that the real casino must be nearby.

As a result, the search area was expanded, and they actually found a real casino nearly three kilometers away from the fake casino, almost on the other side of the mountain.

But the person had already run away.

The question then arises: how did the other side discover the arrest operation?

Li Fang and his men launched a surprise attack, immediately taking control of everyone on the scene. They also checked everyone's phones and found no one making or sending text messages to warn others.

Most importantly, real casinos have electromagnetic shielding, so they can't receive phone calls there.

They also suspected that someone was acting as a lookout in a more distant location, such as using binoculars or drones, to monitor the fake casino and immediately notify the other side to evacuate upon seeing police action.

But the same problem remains: the casino has signal jamming.

After this operation failed, the other party became even more secretive. It has now been discovered that they are not only active in Jigang, but also in Donglin, the neighboring Yanling, and Pingyu.

If fake casinos are already difficult to detect, then real casinos are even harder to spot.

Most importantly, Li Fang and his team couldn't figure out how messages were exchanged between the real and fake casinos.

"They even began to suspect that there might be a mole within their own ranks."

Zhang Hancheng snorted lightly, his tone slightly teasing, and then asked Shen Xin what he thought.

Shen Xin fell into deep thought. To be honest, this small gambling case was actually quite interesting.
