Animal Detective

Chapter 433 Tracking
Liu Jia'ang didn't know Fei Ge's real name.

When you're out in the world, you create your own identity.

Liu Jia'ang also doesn't like to use his real name, because if something happens, his base of operations could be raided.

In front of his friends, he likes to be called Brother Ang.

In front of Fei Ge, he could accept being called Ang Zi.

Of course, deep down, Liu Jia'ang didn't think much of Fei Ge either.

That's nothing.

Liu Jia'ang knew that Fei Ge was also a minor figure in this circle.

He usually puts on airs in front of his own group, never uttering a word, just sitting there pretending to be aloof.

Liu Jia'ang had met them once when they sat down for a meal together.

This guy answered a phone call, and he did it behind everyone's back. He was so humble and obsequious, and his expression was so fawning, as if the person on the other end of the line was his father.

At that moment, Liu Jia'ang's illusions about Fei Ge were dispelled.

His ambition was to become even more awesome than Fei Ge, but unfortunately, Fei Ge didn't give him the chance.

Unexpectedly, the opportunity came immediately.

After making the call, Liu Jia'ang went straight to sleep.

I was exhausted after being tossed and turned all night.

I had just dozed off when I was woken up by a phone call.

It was Fei Ge calling, telling him to meet him at the usual place.

Liu Jia'ang cursed inwardly, but he readily agreed and immediately set off on his electric scooter.

The old place is a billiards hall.

When I arrived, Fei, a burly man, was hugging a young girl at the pool hall's front desk, teaching her how to play pool.

Hole-in-one.

Then I saw Liu Jia'ang.

Without even calling out "Angzi," he beckoned with his finger and led the way deeper into the area.

Passing through the mahjong room at the back, we arrived at a cramped little room at the very back.

Fei Ge squatted down, opened the safe, and then took out a wad of banknotes, a total of ten thousand, and threw it in front of Liu Jia'ang.

"Brother Fei, what... what does this mean?" Liu Jia'ang's eyes were a little blank.

He has no job and can't work; he relies entirely on his parents and friends on the street for support.

That's a lot of money, ten thousand yuan.

Fei sat down, casually putting his legs up on the table, and said bluntly, "This is a kickback. I have a favor to ask you: find a chance to kill that dog."

Liu Jia'ang, who subconsciously reached out to take the money to feel it, suddenly stopped.

"Brother Fei, you must be joking, that's a police dog."

And it's Lao Pan's dog.

Wang Feng is a living Yama, and Pan Wenhai is no less so; he must be one of the Ten Kings of Hell.

Fei said, "Of course, I know those are police dogs. I've already paid you."

Liu Jia'ang remained silent.

Ten thousand yuan might not be enough to get a police dog.

Seeing Liu Jia'ang's concerns, Fei Ge reassured him, "Are you stupid? I didn't ask you to hire a policeman, I just asked you to hire a dog."

"If you get caught later, just say you didn't know it was a police dog."

"It's just a dog. If you accidentally kill it, what can they do to you? At most, they'll lock you up for a few days."

"It just so happens that you got beaten up by Lao Pan and his gang yesterday. We have a ready-made excuse. Just say you're not satisfied and want to get revenge, but you don't dare to mess with Lao Pan, so you mess with his dog instead."

"Ten thousand yuan for a few days of detention, what a bargain."

He grabbed the money, waved it at Liu Jia'ang, and said, "I'm just giving you a chance; otherwise, plenty of people would be vying to do it."

Liu Jia'ang had only one thought in his mind: Screw it.

Do you really think you're stupid and don't understand the law?

That's a police dog. Attacking a police dog is tantamount to assaulting a police officer, which is a crime punishable by imprisonment.

Ten thousand yuan and you think you can get yourself into jail? I'm not that cheap.

But Liu Jia'ang didn't dare to turn against Fei Ge like that, and said, "Fei Ge, I haven't even asked yet, why did you go and provoke Lao Pan, and why did you have to mess with his dog?"

Liu Jia'ang found it strange when Fei Ge mentioned this last month.

If a shipment is seized by a police dog, that's perfectly normal; it's not like you should hate a dog for it.

"You don't know anything," Fei Ge scoffed.

He knew a little about the situation and knew that this was no ordinary police dog.

In just these three months, how much of the goods have been discounted?

Even their headquarters were raided.

It's all because of this dog.

I definitely wouldn't dare to retaliate against Lao Pan.

No one dares!
However, getting a dog still offers some flexibility, and the consequences are relatively much less severe.

Fei Ge didn't bother with any nonsense and directly asked Liu Jia'ang if he wanted to do it.

Liu Jia'ang sensed the threat in Fei Ge's words and imagined himself pinning Fei Ge to the ground and slapping him hard across the face. He stammered, "Fei Ge, I didn't say I wouldn't do it."

At that moment, his mind raced, just like when he was in elementary school and received his report card, racking his brains to come up with a reason to deal with his dad's belt.

His first thought was that this was something he could do.

Take 10,000 yuan, then find two random people, outsource to them, and you can still make a profit from the difference.

But then he gave up on the idea.

Don't underestimate the police; they won't be able to trace it back to you immediately.

With a quick glance around his eyes, Liu Jia'ang said, "Brother Fei, I want to do it, but I can't. Think about it, I just got beaten up by Lao Pan and his gang yesterday. If I go after that dog of his today, they'll definitely suspect me."

"If they find out about me, won't that implicate you too?"

"Of course, I'll keep my mouth shut, but you know how tough the police are, I'm afraid I won't be able to handle them."

Fei Ge's gaze turned colder, his eyes seeming to say, "What, are you going to tell on me?"
Liu Jia'ang hurriedly said, "Brother Fei, this is actually very simple. You can just find two little kids."

"They don't even need 10,000; just 200 each and they'll be willing to do it."

"Let them follow Lao Pan, find an opportunity, ride their electric scooters past, just like those carrying bags, spot the dog, hit it with a stick, and then run away immediately."

"If we get caught, we can just say we didn't like the dog and wanted to kill it. What can the police do then?" "The key is safety. We don't want to be implicated."

He knew those young, spirited women and men who strolled the streets; let alone two hundred yuan, even two packs of Xuanhemen cigarettes might have been enough to get them to do it.

Fei Ge looked Liu Jia'ang up and down, and after a long while, he snorted and waved his hand, signaling Liu Jia'ang to get lost.

Liu Jia'ang felt a great weight lifted off his shoulders.

Anyway, this is something we can't do; the risks are too great.

Just as he was about to leave, Fei called Liu Jia'ang back.

He pulled two bills from a stack of banknotes, tossed them to Liu Jia'ang, and said, "Don't talk nonsense to me when you get out of here."

Liu Jia'ang nodded hurriedly, but cursed inwardly, "Two hundred? Have they no shame?"

But then I thought about it again, and these two hundred were practically free; they were enough for two days' worth of meals.

the other side.

Shen Xin got up in the morning and came to the yard, where Pan Chenghai was talking to the plane.

Because there were too many birds, it was inconvenient to go to a hotel, so Pan Chenghai suggested that they stay at his home.

Shen Xin then moved into Pan Chenghai's house.

Ding Yuwei and Jiang Wengang, however, stayed in a hotel.

His home is a detached house in the suburbs, north of Simo.

The yard is quite large, but it hasn't been well maintained.

He usually lives in the checkpoint's dormitory and only comes back here once every week or two.

His father has passed away, and his mother, wife, and children all live in Kunming.

It's safer there, and it's also more convenient for the children to go to school.

He devoted himself entirely to the work at the checkpoint.

Last night, while we were having tea and chatting in the courtyard, we talked about this, and his words were full of guilt towards his wife and son.

In fact, given his qualifications and past achievements, he could have easily transferred to the rear during this restructuring, gone to Kunming, and taken on a leisurely job.

His superiors also spoke with him.

But he refused, still wanting to stay on the front lines.

He said he was only 41 and could still work, and that he was far from retiring.

Most importantly, with so many people sacrificing their lives on the front lines over the years, he felt he had to shoulder their responsibility and carry it on.

"Shen Xin, you're really smart, you seem to know everything I say." He pointed at the plane and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"And this falcon is really cool."

Pan Chenghai sized up Teddy.

Although they were both kept in cages, their temperaments were completely different.

The crow was all black and looked rather sleazy.

Needless to say, the airplane guy is all sleazy.

Only Teddy.

The name may be a bit off, but the way he stands there exudes the aura of a domineering warlord who looks down upon all living beings.

Shen Xin smiled and played with Tian Qiao.

Last night, she slept next to my bed, keeping watch over me.

After feeding the birds, they were let out of their cages to roam around for a while. Then, Tianqiao and the others met up.

They never leave your side, they're even more clingy than a teddy bear.

Still wandering around.

First, we went to the pedestrian street, then to see the tree-wrapped tower, and in the afternoon we went to the rare animal garden.

Judging from Lao Pan's attitude, he's determined to visit all the tourist attractions.

They even rushed to buy the tickets and pay for everything.

At the Rare Plant Garden, everyone also witnessed Shen Xin's talent.

There are many free-roaming peacocks here, and when you see a peacock, teasing it to display its tail feathers is an essential part of the experience.

Other tourists were making all sorts of teasing and flirting gestures, but the peacock didn't even give them a second glance.

Shen Xin is quite something; wherever he goes, the peacocks come running up to him, shaking their tails and displaying their plumage.

And it even followed along.

When I finally sat down to rest, I was surrounded by peacocks.

Jiang Wengang exclaimed in astonishment, "I feel like I've seen the entire display of a peacock's tail feathers in a lifetime."

Ding Yuwei smiled and teased, "It seems like this peacock is spreading its tail feathers to attract a mate. Shen Xin, you're as popular as ever."

A teddy bear, stubbornly clinging to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin wanted to explain, but looking at the peacocks that kept crowding around him, vying for attention with their beauty, he couldn't explain.

After visiting the rare animal park, we ate out again that evening.

When you come to southern Yunnan, you can't miss eating rice noodles. In Dehong, there is a special kind of hand-mixed rice noodles, where you wear gloves and mix various ingredients in your hands.

It's quite novel.

Meanwhile, Pan Chenghai had already started telling Shen Xin and the other two about the delicious food in other cities.

"At this rate, I'll gain three pounds when I get back from this business trip," Shen Xin joked.

Pan Chenghai laughed and said, "It's good that you've gained weight. Look at Captain Wang, as he says, 'A carefree and plump body means you have nothing to worry about.'"

At this moment, Jiang Wengang picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks and said while eating, "So, what exactly do these two lads want by following us?"

Shen Xin glanced at the corner of the restaurant.

This is another very famous local restaurant, and it's always packed with people.

At this moment, two young people are sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant.

One had a bowl cut hairstyle, the other had long bangs and blond hair.

He was very thin and kept glancing this way.

In the afternoon, while at the Rare Plant Garden, the group noticed the two boys.

Now that they've been seen again, it's clear they're intentionally following the group.

It's highly likely that they're targeting Pan Chenghai.
