Animal Detective

Chapter 4 Internationally Accepted Ways to Play with Dogs
No matter how unbelievable or coincidental, it just happened.

"Xiao Shen, do you really like small animals?" Yao Wensheng asked subconsciously.

Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat.

While everyone else is busy looking for the suspect, I'm helping stray cats find their kittens. Isn't that neglecting my duties?
"Director Yao, I was wrong." Shen Xin decisively admitted his mistake first.

"Ugh?"

Yao Wensheng was taken aback and said strangely, "Who said you were wrong? You're a good person. It's normal to like cats and dogs. It shows you're a kind person. Look, you helped the stray cat, and it helped us in return."

As he spoke, he smiled and reached out to touch Da Mei.

I must say, this cat is really beautiful.

As soon as she got close, Da Mei exhaled a burst of breath.

Startled, Yao Wensheng quickly withdrew his hand, feeling embarrassed.

At this moment, Zhang Jian returned after questioning Tian Yongjun, and said in an annoyed tone, "I was wondering why we couldn't catch them. Chief Yao, do you know what they're doing?"

He patted the van and said, "They have a division of labor. Some people specialize in stealing cars, while others act as accomplices. After stealing a car, they immediately transfer it to this van."

“They were handing over the bikes in a blind spot of the surveillance cameras. We were only watching the people riding the electric bikes, so we never imagined that the bikes had already been moved. Moreover, they specifically chose these commercial trucks, parked them there, and acted like they were hauling or delivering goods. Who would have thought that the stolen electric bikes were inside the trucks?”

"And this big box is a custom-made lead box, specifically designed to shield the electric vehicle's location signal."

"Seriously, I'm impressed by these people. With their brains, they could be doing so many other things."

Zhang Jian couldn't understand how this group could steal more than a dozen electric bicycles, and specifically target smart electric bicycles with GPS tracking systems, yet they left no trace whatsoever.

Now he knows how it was stolen.

If Shen Xin hadn't accidentally discovered it while looking for the cat, he would never have guessed that there was something wrong with these trucks.

After listening, Yao Wensheng's expression became more serious.

He saw it all: the custom-made lead box, the movable ladder, everything was prepared perfectly.

He could imagine the entire transfer and handover process.

Just like the suspect Shen Xin lost sight of at the East Gate before.

They probably parked their van in the residential area and waited. After stealing the car, they rode over directly, without even using the brakes, and rode the car up the ladder into the lead box.

Then the box was locked, the car door was closed, and it all took less than half a minute.

It was originally a cargo truck, so parking it on the roadside to load goods wouldn't arouse anyone's suspicion. The whole process was quick, and after the transfer, they weren't in a hurry to leave. They just parked it in the residential area and waited until the situation calmed down the next day before transporting the electric scooter out.

Such a method of theft, while not foolproof, is not far off.

"Shen Xin, you did a great job this time."

Yao Wensheng patted Shen Xin on the shoulder.

If Shen Xin hadn't accidentally discovered the problem with the truck, this case would have been really difficult to solve.

"I was just lucky, and... I also benefited from my master's guidance." Shen Xin's eyes darted around and he saw Li Dongsheng next to him.

Li Dongsheng slapped him across the face and laughed, "You brat, do you think your master would steal credit from you?"

Yao Wensheng also smiled.

If such a large operation we organized today ends in failure, it will look bad for the entire institute.

Shen Xin essentially saved face for the Yunlin Police Station.

"Old Li, you taught well." Yao Wensheng gave Li Dongsheng a thumbs up: "Although Xiao Shen was looking for the cat, if he wasn't alert enough, he wouldn't have noticed the problem with the truck."

Li Dongsheng hurriedly said, "Director Yao, stop praising him. If you keep praising him, this kid will get all cocky."

That's what he said, but his eyes were smiling so much they were like crescent moons.

"Alright, we'll talk about meritorious service later, let's get down to business first." Yao Wensheng's smile faded; the car thief suspect hadn't been caught yet.

Zhang Jian nodded; Tian Yongjun had confessed everything.

They take turns moving the electric bikes, so he knows everything about who steals them and which truck drivers are responsible for moving them.

As the saying goes, speed is of the essence in war, Zhang Jian and Yao Wensheng immediately got together to discuss the arrest plan.

It's not just the people stealing and moving cars on the periphery; there are also the people above them, who are the leaders of this car theft gang.

After stealing electric bicycles, they would move them to one place, remove the GPS tracking system, and then sell them all together.

So there was a hideout.

The arrest was a big deal, and Shen Xin could only watch the show and follow the instructions.

Taking advantage of the break, Shen Xin wanted to find a cardboard box to settle Da Mei's litter of kittens.

They've all just opened their eyes recently, and they're still not very good at walking.

Li Dongsheng saw this, asked a nearby woman who was watching the commotion for a milk carton, and handed it over.

"So you were just feeding the cats during your community rotation, huh?" Li Dongsheng asked with a half-smile.

"No way."

Shen Xin quickly denied it, then asked in a low voice, "Master, does this really count as meritorious service? Can I be promoted to a full-fledged position ahead of schedule?"

Only after becoming a full-fledged police officer can one be considered a real policeman, something Shen Xin has been waiting for for a long time.

Li Dongsheng gave a soft hum and nodded slightly with a smile.

Those who perform well during their internship can be promoted to full-time positions ahead of schedule.

However, Shen Xin will be officially promoted in a month, so whether it's done earlier or later doesn't really matter.

"That's different," Shen Xin shook his head. Only after becoming a full-fledged police officer can you carry a gun, at the very least.

"Forget it, having a gun would only cause more trouble." Li Dongsheng glared at Shen Xin, then told Shen Xin to quickly settle the cat and come back for instructions.

Shen Xin took Da Mei and his children back to the police station.

When we returned, everything had been arranged.

They split into two groups, with a small group responsible for apprehending the car thieves on the outskirts.

They all have names and surnames; they can't run away anytime soon.

The main thing is this hideout.

Yao Wensheng personally led the team to make the arrest.

Shen Xin was singled out by Yao Wensheng to participate in the operation to dismantle the den.

The group took a car and drove north along Chunxin Road outside the residential area. After crossing Dongyang Road, they arrived at the Xinzhou Industrial Park on the opposite side.

The hideout was very close by, right in the industrial park.

There are many factories, both large and small, in this area, which is a major reason why Chun Chao Jiayuan has a large migrant population, as factories are right across the street, making it convenient for people to get to work.

Following the address provided by Tian Yongjun, the car quickly arrived at its destination.

"Here."

The car slowly came to a stop on the side of the road, and Zhang Jian examined it carefully.

On the left is a mold factory, and on the right is a door and window manufacturing factory.

Sandwiched between two factories, there is a factory building with a gray corrugated steel roof, and no sign is hung at the entrance.

There are many small workshops like this here.

"Take a look around," Yao Wensheng commanded with practiced ease.

As the van drove forward and passed the factory, through the windows facing the road, one could vaguely see light shining from inside the factory.

There should be someone there.

I also saw a surveillance camera above the roller shutter door.

That's not a big problem; generally, no one watches surveillance cameras 24/7.

Therefore, the conditions for a surprise attack exist, the only problem being the fear of alerting the other party beforehand and having another exit, allowing the suspect to escape from another location.

After circling around the road, I discovered that behind this hideout was the yard of another factory.

In other words, it is possible for the suspect to escape by climbing over the wall from the back.

After looking around, Yao Wensheng had a better understanding of the situation. He left men in several directions and finally led them to the front, ready to make their move.

It's almost midnight, so a surprise attack shouldn't be a big problem.

The group of six, taking advantage of the darkness, quickly approached the main gate.

Zhang Jian had already pulled out his baton.

Just then, Yao Wensheng, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped and nervously signaled everyone to stop.

"There's a dog!"

He pointed ahead.

Only then did everyone notice a head peeking out from the main gate not far away.

It was a wolfhound, majestic and imposing, with its ears perked up and its eyes fixed on the direction of the crowd.

It was obvious that it had spotted the group.

But I didn't call out.

However, if a group of people rush over, it will definitely bark loudly.

"Damn it, why are there dogs too?" Zhang Jian cursed, then asked Yao Wensheng what to do.

These guard dogs are sometimes more effective than surveillance cameras.

Yao Wensheng also had a headache.

If the dog barks, the suspect might be startled, which would defeat the purpose of the surprise attack.

Just then, Shen Xin suddenly leaned in and whispered, "Director Yao, why don't you let me give it a try?"

Yao Wensheng was taken aback and asked Shen Xin what he meant.

"that's it."

Shen Xin crouched down and barked a few times at the wolfhound in the distance.

The internationally accepted way to tease dogs.

This sudden action startled everyone.

Incredibly, the wolfhound heard the whimpering sound, paused for a moment, and then actually ran over.

When it came to Shen Xin, it wagged its tail.

Yao Wensheng and the others were dumbfounded.

No, is it possible to do it like this?
