Animal Detective

Chapter 398 Black Bird in the Mountains
Following Shen Xin's instructions, Teddy slowed down and glided gracefully over the camouflage cloth.

After circling a few times, Teddy himself looked down, curiously observing everything below.

He didn't fly very high, only about a hundred meters off the ground.

From this distance, he could even see an unidentified insect crawling through the grass near the smoking man's feet.

After watching for a while, Teddy flapped its wings and rose higher and higher, hovering at a height of seven or eight hundred meters.

He rolled his eyes, scanning the mountains and forests below.

It may not have a big brain, but it can process 130 frames per second. With its unparalleled zoom function, it can see every minute change in the forest below with just a glance.

He saw a path leading up the mountain, and people were hiking up the mountain with trekking poles.

It immediately circled at a low altitude for a few moments before taking off again.

He saw a man and a woman sitting on a rock in an open area in the mountains, the woman nestled in the man's arms.

Their lips were moving, and it was unclear what sweet words they were saying.

There is a temple in front of the main peak in the distance.

There was a pagoda in the temple. Teddy landed lightly on the top of the pagoda, tilted his head, and looked at the figures in the temple and the rising incense.

Before long, it flew away again.

He spent less than fifteen minutes meticulously searching every area of ​​Dingshan until he found nothing more and then prepared to return.

At that moment, Teddy thought of something.

They need to hunt for Shen Xin.

This is his most important task.

He soared into the sky again, circling above the mountains and forests, searching for his target.

Wherever it passed, it seemed to exude an invisible, cold aura, making the birdsong in the forest below much quieter.

In the mountains and forests, small birds perched among the leaves, watching in fear the huge shadow sweeping overhead.

Teddy was a little unhappy.

There were trees all below, so he couldn't use his skills.

He tried to lower his altitude, hovering above the treetops to intimidate the trembling prey in the bushes.

no response.

Teddy barked twice in anger, then took flight again, flapping its wings, preparing to hunt in a more distant area.

Just as we were about to fly out of the forest, a rather large, dark creature suddenly darted out from between the trees.

It startled Teddy.

Upon closer inspection, it was just a black thing.

It was quite large and flew straight towards me.

Teddy flapped its wings and soared up instantly, watching the black charcoal thing below swoop past its feet.

In my memory, Teddy had seen these things on the grasslands, in huge herds.

They're so mean and they keep bothering me.

Teddy didn't even bother with them.

Because they are slightly larger, almost the same size as themselves.

Instead of wasting time hunting them, you might as well eat a few rats or a few larks.

So after glancing around a few times, Teddy flew outwards on its own, looking for suitable prey.

Unexpectedly, the charcoal thing caught up with them.

It flew in a curve through the air and swept past Teddy.

provocative?

Teddy turned his head to look, his eyelids twitched, but he ignored it.

Finding food for Shen Xin is the real priority.

Undeterred, the black charcoal lunged upwards and then swooped down, passing right by him.

At this moment, Teddy decided to kill.

I'm ignoring you just because I find you troublesome. Do you think I'm really afraid of you?
Once the murderous intent arose, Teddy immediately started moving, soaring straight into the sky and instantly reaching a height of a thousand meters.

His gaze was already focused on the black charcoal below.

The next moment, Teddy swooped down, instantly reaching maximum speed, and continuously corrected its trajectory based on the target's location during the dive.

But Black Charcoal reacted very quickly, having already anticipated the descent of Teddy.

He quickly turned around and rushed towards the forest below.

Swish.

Just as Teddy was about to grab his head, he disappeared among the treetops.

Teddy flapped its wings vigorously, raising its body once again.

【hateful】

Teddy's gaze was fixed on that thing on the treetop, and he felt annoyed.

We were so close to letting Shen Xin try something new.

He circled above for a moment.

The charcoal moved back and forth among the treetops, emitting laughter that sounded almost like a human's.

In other words, Teddy didn't understand the sarcasm. If he had, he would have fought him to the death.

He circled around for a moment, preparing to leave.

If Shen Xin had spent the time arguing with this thing, he might have already eaten it.

Unexpectedly, just as Teddy flew away, the black charcoal flew out of the treetop again, squeaking as it followed.

Hey!
Teddy's gaze sharpened. "You're so shameless, aren't you?"

He quickly turned around and chased after them.

Even without diving, Teddy is faster than the other when flying in the air.

As for aerial combat, Teddy is not afraid at all.

As soon as it turned around and flew back, the black charcoal immediately disappeared into the bushes.

Teddy stopped; he still didn't like the dense bushes.

After barking a few warning cries, Teddy turned and walked away.

Just as it flew away, the black charcoal flew out again.

This time, Teddy ignored him.

On the grasslands, he had witnessed how despicable this thing could be; it could clearly not beat him, yet it still insisted on harassing him.

They even went and plucked feathers from that golden eagle guy.

That's why there's a tree there, placed on an open grassland; Teddy is determined to show it just how sharp his claws really are.

Seeing that Teddy had flown away and was no longer paying attention to him, Blackie barked twice and then turned and disappeared into the forest.

At a distant assembly point, Zhang Hancheng and his group were urging Shen Xin to recount the process of capturing the poachers.

Upon hearing that Dawag dared to attack the camp, Li Fang clicked his tongue and said, "That's ruthless. What was he thinking? Wasn't he just courting death?"

Chen Guanglin has something to say about this, lamenting, "People die for money, birds die for food. Just like those drug dealers, they know they'll die if they get caught, but they still do it."

"Why? It's because drug trafficking is highly profitable. Think about it, even though they know there aren't many people in the camp, there's still a chance of success."

"And if it succeeds, that's a profit of seven million. Would you do it or not?"

Shen Xin nodded. "Money can move people's hearts," he said. "That's the truth."

After chatting for a while, Yang Qingmin checked the time and saw that forty minutes had passed. She asked with some concern, "Shen Xin, why isn't Teddy back yet?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hancheng and the others all looked at Shen Xin.

In fact, they started to worry half an hour after Teddy left.

Given a bird's flight speed, it would take half an hour to circle Dingshan.

Shen Xin himself said that when they were searching for Dawag on the grassland, Teddy searched an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

This place is so small.

Shen Xin said, "It should be fine."

Yang Qingmin and the others were worried, and Shen Xin was no less worried.

Based on Shen Xin's understanding of Teddy, he felt that the search would take at most fifteen minutes.

Forty minutes have passed already.

In that short time, Shen Xin had already considered every possible scenario in his mind.

Seeing the serious expressions on the three men's faces, Li Fang hesitated for a moment before suggesting, "How about we arrange for someone to look for them?"

The three of them remained silent, still looking at Shen Xin.

Just then, a black dot appeared in the distant sky.

Shen Xin quietly loosened his clenched fist.

The black dot approached rapidly and landed precisely in front of Shen Xin.

It was still clutching a dead sparrow in its claws, which it threw in front of Shen Xin and chirped twice.

【eat】

Shen Xin cursed under his breath. Sure enough, they were going hunting.

It seems we need to find a way to change this hunting habit.

After making the adjustments, Shen Xin worried that if Teddy left him and returned to the grassland, he might forget his hunting skills.

It's hard to go from luxury to frugality. Once you're used to being waited on hand and foot, who would bother hunting?

Zhang Hancheng and the others gathered around.

Chen Guanglin secretly patted Zhang Hancheng and whispered, "Old Zhang, you shouldn't do this kind of thing again."

Zhang Hancheng didn't speak, he just nodded slightly.

The risk is a bit high.

Shen Xin removed the body camera from Teddy, then picked up Sparrow.

Poor thing, his head is broken off.

It's impossible to feed Teddy Bear any of that. Chen Wanbin instructed them to avoid feeding him animals from the city, as they were worried about excessive heavy metals.

Shen Xin went to the car and got the white mouse.

From now on, if I bring Teddy along when I travel, I'll have to keep a cage of mice in the car at all times.

"Don't look at me, I'm full, it's your turn." Seeing Teddy standing on the white mouse's head and looking at him, Shen Xin nagged for a moment, and only then did Teddy start eating.

Meanwhile, Zhang Hancheng and his group were gathered together, watching the video extracted from the body camera.

On the tablet, Teddy flew straight up into the sky, leaving the long Dingshan Mountain behind.

After watching for a while, Chen Guanglin asked, "He's flying so high, can he even see us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the camera zoomed in, and Teddy lowered his height.

Soon, Teddy began to glide and fly level.

The camera smoothly swept across the ground, capturing the area covered by the camouflage cloth.

"Wow, it really exists!" Li Fang exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Hancheng and the other two were also incredulous.

"How did he find out?" Yang Qingmin asked, pointing to the video with a look of surprise. "He must have been flying several hundred meters high before, that high!"

Just a few hundred meters away, in a green, dense forest, the other side had even put up camouflage cloth, and yet someone was leaning against a tree trunk smoking, and was still spotted?
Chen Guanglin exclaimed in astonishment, "This is practically a reconnaissance satellite!"

Zhang Hancheng nodded in agreement and said, "Think about it, Shen Xin said that the falcon has amazing eyesight. It can see a small mouse on the ground from thousands of meters in the air, so it's not surprising that it can spot it."

"And the key is that it's fast."

He pointed to the time watermark on the video and said, "You see, from the moment it flew out to the moment it discovered this place, it was only a little over three minutes. Just imagine how terrifying that is."

Yang Qingmin nodded in deep agreement.

Those of them who are in charge of law enforcement have more contact with drones.

For example, during large-scale events, drones are flying in the sky, and if an order is given, someone needs to be contacted.

That means you have to be extremely close, and the operator's eyes get blurry just to find the person.

Teddy is great; he flies high, sees far, and sees wide, so he spotted his target in no time.

This reconnaissance capability is a game-changer compared to drones.

Li Fang rewound the video and observed it carefully.

Teddy also lowered its altitude and hovered above the camouflage cloth for a while, which resulted in a very clear shot.

"This must be a real casino."

Li Fang immediately had someone bring him a detailed topographic map of the Dingshan area.

Then, starting from the very beginning, based on the video, we confirmed the trajectory of Teddy's flight and compared it with the topographic map to try to reconstruct the location of the casino.

After a long pause, he tapped a spot on the map with his pen and said in a deep voice, "That's right, it should be here."

Yang Qingmin squinted at the circled area.

It's quite far from here, in the middle of Dingshan.

They were holding up a camouflage cloth, acting all mysterious.

With signal jamming added on, it's impossible to know how long it would take to find them if we searched normally.

Now, using Teddy, the location is found in no time.

"Oh shit."

Even the usually composed Yang Qingmin swore, then said, "This Falcon is amazing. When will drones ever reach its level?"

Zhang Hancheng glanced at Teddy, who had just finished eating the white mouse and was now moving closer to Shen Xin, and thought to himself, "Who could possibly know?"

In any case, as things stand, Teddy's search and capture capabilities far surpass those of drones.
