Animal Detective

Chapter 430 Checkpoint
Because of this, Wang Feng insisted on going with the three of them.

After leaving the bureau, head north on National Highway 320, a winding and circuitous road.

More than an hour later, after turning a corner over a mountain ridge, the Shukang checkpoint was not far ahead.

This national highway is the most important road leading inland.

This place is about 100 kilometers from the border. Beyond the border lies the triangular area where four countries meet, a chaotic region.

If you want to transport drugs to the mainland by road, this is the only way.

Therefore, it is truly worthy of being called the First Pass in Southern Yunnan.

Traffic is starting to back up ahead, with a large number of trucks moving slowly and waiting for inspection.

The road was narrow, making it impossible to overtake.

Shen Xin wasn't in a hurry and moved forward with the flow of traffic.

We were moving slowly, but quite quickly, and in about ten minutes we arrived at the checkpoint.

There's only one lane, and every car will stop for inspection.

Check the driver's documents and inquire about the purpose of the trip.

It's 2 PM now, and it's the second duty group at the checkpoint.

Several police officers were working at the scene.

Some people direct the flow of traffic, while others are responsible for specific inspections.

A car stopped.

A police officer stepped forward to check the driver's documents, while another officer, Tan Xin, on the opposite side of the car, led Tian Qiao around the sedan.

After turning around, Tan Xin looked down at Tian Qiao.

Tianqiao shook her head.

Tan Xinchong nodded slightly to the team member checking the documents, giving him a signal.

In other words, as long as there are no problems and the documents are in order, they can be allowed to pass.

However, after the car left and it was time for the next one, Tianqiao suddenly froze in place and turned to look south.

"What's wrong, Tianqiao?" Tan Xin was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

The next moment, Tianqiao suddenly darted out.

The force was so great that Tan Xin stumbled, and the leash slipped from her grasp.

After breaking free, Tianqiao ran wildly forward along the traffic.

Tan Xin was quite frightened and hurriedly chased after him.

The station manager had instructed that Tianqiao was not allowed to get into trouble.

It is not allowed!

"Old Yang!" Tan Xin shouted.

The colleague directing traffic also saw Tianqiao running towards them and rushed over to try and stop her.

I'm afraid of having too many cars and accidentally getting into a collision.

Tianqiao sprinted away, deftly dodging past Lao Yang.

Then he ran more than twenty meters in one breath and stopped in front of the passenger door of a car, shouting urgently.

This reaction caused Lao Yang and Tan Xin, who had caught up, to change their expressions drastically. They instinctively drew their guns and aimed them at the car. When they saw the passenger door open, they hurriedly shouted, "Don't move!"

In the past, there have been cases where, before the car behind had even been inspected, Tianqiao had already noticed something amiss and ran over to warn the driver.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the passenger door opened a crack, Tianqiao couldn't wait to squeeze in, jumped onto the passenger's lap, and excitedly started licking them.

This scene left Tan Xin and her companion stunned.

inside the car.

"Okay, okay, I know. You miss me, and I miss you too." Shen Xin hugged Tian Qiao, only to hear her heartfelt messages flooding his screen.

【Miss you】

Tianqiao kept calling out to Shen Xin, staring intently at him.

It's confirmed. Three months later, she still only has eyes for herself.

Even from this distance, I could still smell Shen Xin's scent, and I remembered it so clearly.

"Don't get agitated, we're police officers too." Seeing that everyone outside had drawn their guns, Shen Xin quickly shouted to them.

When they came to Dehong, they didn't drive a police car, but a private car to avoid detection.

Tan Xin dared not be careless and slowly stepped forward.

Wang Feng, who was two cars behind him, got out of his car and walked over.

Tan Xin and the other woman relaxed as soon as he appeared.

"Then you are?"

Tan Xin looked at Shen Xin with a wary, even somewhat jealous, gaze.

Over the past three months, Tianqiao has become the darling of the checkpoint.

But Tan Xin had never seen Tian Qiao treat someone so warmly.

Even Pan Chenghai, who brought him back.

I couldn't help but feel a little... jealous.

Seeing this scene, Wang Feng confirmed that Tian Qiao was indeed trained by Shen Xin.

Otherwise, how could they be so intimate?

Shen Xin carried Tian Qiao out of the car and said, "My name is Shen Xin. I'm looking for your team leader, Pan."

"You are Shen Xin!"

Tan Xin and Lao Yang exclaimed in unison.

The next moment, Old Yang hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly, "I'm so sorry, it's a misunderstanding. No, you should have told us in advance so we could have picked you up."

He quickly shook hands with Shen Xin and repeatedly apologized.

I had just drawn my gun.

Shen Xin glanced at Tian Qiao, who was circling around his feet, and said, "I was just thinking of making a surprise, but I didn't expect to be discovered. Not bad, your professional skills haven't declined."

Tianqiao called out, tilting her head back and staring intently at Shen Xin.

Soon, Pan Chenghai and the leaders of the checkpoint arrived after hearing the news.

Pan Chenghai jogged up from a distance, then hugged Shen Xin tightly, extremely excited, and complained that he hadn't told him beforehand so he could have picked her up.

"I had a mission, and since I was close to you all, I came here specifically to see Tianqiao," Shen Xin explained.

Upon hearing that there was a mission, Pan Chenghai stopped asking questions and looked at Tianqiao somewhat guiltily, saying, "Shen Xin, if I don't take good care of Tianqiao, you have to forgive me."

Shen Xin quickly replied, "No, she's gained weight."

With such pampered treatment, how could they not be well taken care of?

While they were still on duty, Station Chief Dong Jiamu called a few people to the adjacent office area.

Watching Tianqiao circling around Shen Xin, he couldn't help but sigh, "This is really different. Old Pan, aren't you jealous?"

He had seen all of Pan Chenghai's meticulous care for Tianqiao.

However, Tianqiao was completely different when dealing with Pan Chenghai and Shen Xin.

“That’s different,” Pan Chenghai said with a smile.

Shen Xin rescued Tian Qiao from dire straits and personally trained her into a police dog; their bond was undeniable. Seeing Tian Qiao following along, Shen Xin asked if there would be any problems.

He was on duty, so this is equivalent to being absent from his post.

Dong Jiamu said it was fine and asked Tan Xin and the others to bring over another police dog.

There are two police dogs on duty at the checkpoint.

This is a Labrador named Zhanhu.

The name sounds imposing, but Labradors are known for their gentle nature.

Moreover, after bringing it over, it took the initiative to move closer to Tianqiao and call out to her softly.

That posture... it felt a bit...

"Team Leader Pan," Shen Xin said.

Pan Chenghai hurriedly waved his hand: "Why call me team leader? Don't call me Old Pan."

Shen Xin laughed and said, "Old Pan, Zhan Hu and Tian Qiao, could they be falling in love?"

These two reactions are wrong.

Pan Chenghai shook his head: "No, Zhan Hu does have this idea, but Tian Qiao doesn't really pay attention to him."

Shen Xin suddenly realized.

Zhanhu kept trying to get close to her, but Tianqiao wouldn't even look at him.

"War Tiger".

Shen Xin waved to him.

I don't know if it's because it's naturally gentle and affectionate, or if its skills have activated again.

Zhan Hu immediately came forward, obediently squatted down in front of Shen Xin, and called out a greeting.

"good."

Shen Xin rubbed his head, and he looked like he was enjoying it. Then, the next moment, an icon appeared above his head.

That's quite a close relationship.

Let him do the work first, and Shen Xin followed him to the office area.

Right next to it, at the foot of the mountain, is a large courtyard.

As soon as we entered, the five little ones came to greet us.

When Pan Chenghai took Tianqiao away, he wiped out the entire family.

These five little guys are now almost four months old, and they're quite big already. One is white, three are black, and there's one that's not quite black yet.

According to Pan Wenhai, they are now kept in the yard.

They were all well-fed, strong, and incredibly lively.

All parents are the same; watching her five children making a ruckus around her, Tianqiao had a look of utter despair.

【Hate】

Can it disappear?

Her words revealed her true thoughts.

Then he turned and called out to Shen Xin twice.

Take me away with you.

Don't bring them.

The one with insufficient ink was rolling around on the ground and playing around with her, which made Tianqiao so angry that she turned her head to bite him.

"Row!"

Shen Xin rubbed Tian Qiao's head, thinking to himself that he would take her back and train her to be a police dog, and then send her back to him later.

It's clear that Tianqiao has become the treasure of the entire checkpoint.

Just like Tiankui before, he also moved into a single room.

Moreover, a special shelter was set up for Tianqiao at the checkpoint, so that she could rest when she was tired from work.

As for Tianqiao's work ability, Dong Jiamu and the others praised it highly.

"I'm not saying Zhanhu is bad."

Dong Jiamu lowered his voice and said, "But compared to Tianqiao, they are far inferior."

“Take last month for example, the drugs were hidden in peanuts, and Tianqiao still managed to find them.”

When talking about Tianqiao's achievements, Dong Jiamu spoke with great enthusiasm.

Shen Xin couldn't help but ask how the drugs were hidden inside peanuts, and whether they were the kind of peanuts he understood.

Pan Chenghai nodded and said that was right, it was the kind of peanuts we eat.

"Seal the drugs, stuff them into intact peanut shells, and then carefully glue the peanut shells together."

"Think about it, this peanut isn't small, so how many grams of drugs could be hidden in one peanut?"

"Then they pack them in regular food packaging. One peanut isn't much, but a whole bag can be quite a lot."

"And to mislead us, they even played a trick, just blatantly placing it on the car's dashboard with an open mouth, making it look like a snack they bought."

"The drivers have clean identities; if you're not careful, they can really get away with it."

"As a result, Tianqiao got in the car and smelled it immediately and discovered it. Later, I tried it with Zhanhu, but I couldn't smell it at all."

"So it's amazing that Tianqiao has seized more than 300 kilograms of various drugs in these three months."

Shen Xin was secretly amazed; this drug dealer really went to great lengths to sell drugs.

This is the front line of the anti-drug campaign, and there are some things Shen Xinzhen doesn't know, so he asked more questions out of curiosity.

The more you know, the more helpful it will be when you carry out the task later.

Pan Chenghai spoke frankly and without reservation.

He has worked here for more than ten years, accumulating rich experience and witnessing countless drug trafficking methods.

Cosmetics and canned goods are basic necessities.

There were also fruits hidden inside jade and gemstones, just like peanuts; he'd even seen them hidden inside chili peppers.

As for inside the car, it could be hidden in the fuel tank, the frame, or any nook and cranny.

Of course, there are also those hidden inside the body.

“That’s really hard to guard against. For example, it’s hidden inside the body, so it should be very difficult to detect,” Shen Xin said.

When it's inside the body, the human scent is masked, but police dogs can still detect abnormalities mainly because there are residues outside the body after swallowing.

Pan Chenghai nodded in agreement, and added, "However, we can usually tell in that kind of situation."

Such people get nervous and cannot escape the eyes of experienced narcotics officers.

Most importantly, Pan Chenghai and his team often received advance notice.

This is a major transportation route with a huge volume of traffic.

The principle is that every vehicle must be inspected. If something is hidden in the fuel tank, it can only be discovered by dismantling the vehicle. If it takes an hour to inspect one vehicle, the traffic jam could stretch all the way to the border.

Therefore, in normal work, if you are checking a car in great detail, you usually receive definite information in advance.

For example, if a truck is about to transport something, such as drugs, then a targeted investigation will be conducted.
