Animal Detective

Chapter 432 I Saw That Dog
The restaurant we came to, Achang Restaurant, was a street food stall.

The place is very large. The dining area is well-ventilated on all sides, like a pavilion, and there is also a large courtyard outside, filled with square tables.

Colorful lights hung overhead, and there were many customers, creating a lively atmosphere.

We ate local specialties.

Pan Wenhai kept urging the three of them to eat, saying they had arrived too early.

"If you had come a month later, it would have been the peak season for wild mushrooms. The mushrooms we have now are just starting to appear on the market and aren't plump enough yet."

Pan Wenhai introduced the dish and pushed a plate of spicy stir-fried mushrooms towards the three of them.

The taste is simply amazing, incredibly delicious.

As they were eating, suddenly, a group of people appeared from deep within the courtyard.

Dynamic music started playing at the same time.

The young people leading the dance, dressed in ethnic costumes, formed a line and began to dance, swaying slightly as they stepped to the beat.

Even Tianqiao, who was lying at Shen Xin's feet, was attracted and turned her head to look.

Ding Yuwei asked curiously, "Is this what they call 'da tiao' (打跳) online?"

Wang Feng nodded and said that was right, explaining that it was a special activity at Achang's food stall, and it happened every night.

He even asked Shen Xin if he wanted to give it a try.

Nearby diners had already gotten up and joined in.

Shen Xin glanced at Ding Yuwei and gave her an encouraging look.

Ding Yuwei didn't stand on ceremony and stood up directly.

Just like the old bunny hop, they lined up in a long queue with synchronized movements, focusing on creating a specific atmosphere.

Feeling inspired, Shen Xin turned around and brought Tian Qiao along, hugging her as they jumped together.

She wasn't afraid; her eyes were full of excitement.

Everyone at the table joined in.

Ding Yuwei followed behind Shen Xin, her body already warmed up from jumping, her cheeks flushed, and she looked radiant.

Jiang Wengang followed behind her, followed by Pan Wenhai and Wang Feng.

Despite their advanced age, the two are clearly skilled in this art, their movements full of rhythm.

His face was beaming with joy.

Shen Xin felt a fleeting sense of emotion for no apparent reason.

Perhaps for Pan Wenhai and his colleagues, the greatest satisfaction comes from enabling ordinary people to enjoy this kind of carefree happiness.

Unfortunately, the celebratory atmosphere was broken.

An argument could be heard from the back of the long queue.

Shen Xin turned his head and saw that people were arguing.

Their tone was quite aggressive; after only a couple of sentences, they were already cursing each other's ancestors.

One side consists of a man and a woman, so they must be a couple.

The woman was dressed like a trendy young woman, and the man was dressed similarly.

On the other side were three young men.

It seems that one of the three men touched the girl's buttocks from behind while she was dancing.

Would her boyfriend agree?

This kid might not even be an adult yet, but men of this age are fearless. If their girlfriend is taken advantage of, they'd lose face if they backed down.

So when the people in the store went up to persuade him, this guy had already kicked the other person.

The three people opposite them also looked like hooligans.

The man who was kicked was in his early twenties, wearing a black vest, with an earring in his left ear, and had brown American-style spiky hair. He was clearly stunned when he was kicked.

"Wow, you're pretty good, kid!"

He raised an eyebrow, turned his head, grabbed a beer bottle from the nearby table, and charged straight at them.

Just as he was about to swing, someone suddenly cut in.

"What are you doing."

It's Wang Feng.

Upon seeing who it was, the man in the black vest was so frightened that he turned and ran away like a mouse seeing a cat.

Wang Feng was stunned for a moment.

However, the kid had only run a few steps when he suddenly stopped.

He suddenly realized that he hadn't done anything wrong, so why was he running?

He returned dejectedly, forcing a smile, and said, "Captain Wang, what are you doing here?"

Wang Feng reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

He ducked, looking embarrassed, and explained, "Captain Wang, I didn't do anything wrong. It was just a pure instinctive reaction. I was frightened by your imposing presence."

Wang Feng glanced at the remaining two people again and asked, "What are their names? They look kind of familiar."

The young man quickly said, "Hey Captain Wang, don't joke with me. Everyone knows you have a photographic memory and sharp eyes. But I really haven't done anything wrong recently. If you don't believe me, take me for a urine test."

Wang Feng, still smiling, said, "Liu Jia'ang, I don't believe you at all."

Clearly, he recognized the person at first glance.

Liu Jia'ang hurriedly raised his hand and swore, "Captain Wang, I swear to God, I have absolutely not been using drugs recently, or my whole family will die."

Wang Feng obviously wouldn't easily believe such nonsense.

Just then, one of the three, a young man with medium-length hair and as thin as a monkey, suddenly turned around and rushed towards the dining area next door.

Shen Xin and the others were on guard and rushed out at the same time.

But Pan Wenhai was the quickest to react.

He dashed to the front, braced himself against the railing, and in just two steps, pounced, tackling the boy to the ground. He locked the boy's arm behind his back, and a pig-like scream immediately erupted.

Tianqiao reacted quickly, rushing forward almost simultaneously and barking fiercely at the young man on the ground.

Shen Xin stopped in his tracks, secretly surprised.

He's a veteran after all; his combat effectiveness is top-notch.

A chorus of gasps erupted around them.

Liu Jia'ang was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Captain Wang, I don't know this idiot."

Wang Feng snorted and tossed him to Jiang Wengang, then strode forward and pulled out handcuffs.

In southern Yunnan, especially among anti-drug police, they are almost always carrying restraints and firearms.

Pan Wenhai lifted the man up and said, "He doesn't smell, so he's probably a trafficker."

Wang Feng nodded; he had no recollection of this person.

But if it's running, then there must be a problem.

He immediately took out his phone and called the nearby police station.

Soon, patrolling police officers arrived and took both groups of people back.

Since they had run into each other, Shen Xin wondered whether he should go over and take a look.

Wang Feng waved his hand and said, "No need. This kid has been punished before, it's not a big deal. Let the institute handle it."

He looked at Liu Jia'ang, who was about to get into the car.

Liu Jia'ang turned his head to look this way, staring intently at Pan Wenhai, somewhat distracted.

Noticing Wang Feng's gaze, she quickly forced a smile.

Wang Feng said that, but after finishing his meal, he still said goodbye and left.

Pan Wenhai was only allowed to take Shen Xin and the other two around a bit more, perhaps to the night market, which was quite fun.

After the incident, the group didn't actually eat much.

Pan Wenhai also apologized to Shen Xin, saying that he knew Wang Feng was in a hurry and finished dinner in a rush, which prevented Shen Xin from having a good meal.

"He may seem careless, but he's actually very meticulous. That kid must have something going on."

“I heard it from them. They said there have been some rumors lately that some strangers have come to Dehong.”

At this point, Pan Wenhai glanced at Shen Xin.

He felt it might be related to Shen Xin and the others' mission.

the other side.

Wang Feng left the food stall and hurried to the nearby police station.

When they arrived, Liu Jia'ang had already completed the urine test.

He did tell the truth; he hadn't been smoking recently.

"Captain Wang, you see, I really didn't lie. As for that kid who ran away, I swear to God, I just met him and I really don't know what he did wrong."

"I've turned over a new leaf."

Liu Jia'ang looked aggrieved.

Wang Feng ignored him and turned to arrange for someone to interrogate the escaped kid.

They did a urine test, and the sample was negative.

But in southern Yunnan, those who commit crimes are either drug addicts or drug traffickers.

Especially since this kid is hanging out with Liu Jia'ang.

The interrogation went relatively smoothly, and the kid gave up around 2 a.m.

He came from Yongchang, and he and the other three had previously worked in the same factory and came to stay with him.

The reason he came to Dehong was because he had stolen things in Yongchang.

He didn't get involved with drugs.

Wang Feng contacted the Yongchang police and confirmed the situation was true.

He then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

I'm afraid this kid will get involved in drug trafficking and then be overlooked.

After giving Liu Jia'ang another dressing down, they finally released him early the next morning.

"Brother Liu, I really didn't know he was in trouble." As they walked out of the police station, his remaining companion hurriedly offered an explanation.

If it weren't for this kid, the two of them wouldn't have been tormented all night.

"And another thing, we're so unlucky, how did we end up running into this living devil?" he complained again.

Liu Jia'ang glared at him and impatiently cursed, "Get lost."

After everyone left, Liu Jia'ang also took a taxi and left.

Back home, he pulled out another phone and dialed a number.

It took a long time to get through. Once connected, he immediately said in a humble voice, "Brother Fei, it's me, Liu Jia'ang. Do you remember me?"

A man's voice came from the other end: "Say what you need to say."

Liu Jia'ang hurriedly said, "It's like this, Brother Fei, I remember last month, didn't you say that as long as I saw that old Pan and his dog, I would let you know?"

“Just yesterday, I saw Lao Pan at Achang’s place. Most importantly, he also brought his dog out with him.”

The man's voice on the other end of the phone was initially lazy.

Upon hearing this, he suddenly perked up and asked eagerly, "Are you sure it's his dog?"

Liu Jia'ang hurriedly said, "I'm sure, it's that one, there's no mistake."

"it is good."

The man on the other end said "okay" and hung up the phone.
