Animal Detective

Chapter 444 Rescue
At that point, there was no time to borrow a low-noise cutting machine from the firefighters.

Therefore, before taking action, Shen Xin had to let the mother elephant get used to the noise and movement of the angle grinder.

Shen Xin stepped forward.

It was obvious that the mother elephant's attention was always on Shen Xin, her gaze never leaving his left or right.

"Don't get agitated, I'm here to save you. Use this tool," Shen Xin whispered to the mother elephant.

After Pan Wenhai finished the inspection, he turned on the angle grinder.

It's very noisy.

The mother elephant cried out and retreated restlessly.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay." Shen Xin looked directly at the mother elephant and reassured her with gestures.

Strangely, Shen Xin sensed that the mother elephant was quite friendly towards him, but no favorability icon appeared above its head.

But considering Yueyue's situation, it's not surprising.

"See, it's okay," Shen Xin kept reassuring her.

It’s really useful.

The mother elephant stopped agitating and called out twice.

It might have adapted to the noise, but there are also sparks.

Shen Xin used an iron fork to test it, and sparks flew everywhere.

Seeing the sparks, she felt a surge of excitement again.

"It's fine."

Shen Xin spoke up again to reassure it, even aiming at it and splashing some sparks onto it, so that it would understand that these sparks were just scary and could not hurt it at all.

The effect remains the same.

Shen Xin didn't know whether it was because the mother elephant was smart enough, or because of his own talent.

Anyway, it's useful.

Chen Ruidong and the others watched in amazement.

Wang Feng said, "He's really amazing! Look, even the elephant listens to him."

Huang Delin nodded in deep agreement: "I feel like he has superpowers, like an elephant can understand what he's saying."

Chen Ruidong stared intently and said, "This is a talent, someone who is born extraordinary. Otherwise, how could they train police birds?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The captain of the special police brigade in charge of the operation whispered, "Director Chen, that bird of his is amazing, much better than a drone. Do you think it's possible to leave one for us?"

He already knew about the entire tracking process; it was simply unbelievable.

Chen Ruidong thought to himself, "I'd like to, but Shen Xin has worked so hard to train him, he's a real treasure, so I'm too embarrassed to ask."

Shen Xin felt it was about time.

He stepped forward, took out the angle grinder in his hand, and pointed to the iron chain around its neck.

This is a female elephant, which is smaller in size, but still over two meters tall. Standing next to it, one can't help but feel intimidated.

Judging by its imposing manner just now, it could easily flip its nose and give itself a taste of being an aerial acrobat.

"Don't mess with me," Shen Xin warned, then picked up the angle grinder and began cutting the chain he could reach.

Sparks flew everywhere.

The mother elephant became agitated and moved aside.

Shen Xin was so frightened that he quickly backed away.

Pan Wenhai immediately shouted, "Shen Xin, why don't we wait for the people from the ambulance center to come and think of a solution?"

It's just a crane, you can just find one.

Shen Xin calmed himself down a bit and said, "Look, it's not attacking me, so it's fine."

All of the mother elephant's reactions stemmed from her instinctive fear of the unknown.

This is a wild elephant, very aggressive. If it were anyone else, getting this close, they would have already slapped it with their trunk.

"Don't move."

Shen Xin gave another reminder and started working again.

It actually stopped moving, letting the sparks hit its rough skin.

The iron chain rings are as thick as a person's leg, and the diameter of the rings seems to be five centimeters. Cutting them open would not be an easy task.

The cutting discs are consumed quickly and need to be replaced constantly.

Fortunately, the mother elephant listened to the advice and didn't move much throughout the process. It took Shen Xin a full ten minutes to cut a section of the iron ring.

Then untie it immediately.

With a crash, the iron chain slipped off.

The mother elephant paused for a moment before realizing that the shackles on her body were gone.

The next moment, it let out a loud cry and immediately rushed out.

Chen Ruidong and the others were startled and quickly moved away.

And those special police officers, who were suddenly dispatched like gods, are now terrified and scattered like birds.

There's no way around it, this thing is too scary.

However, the mother elephant's target was not Chen Ruidong and his group. She trotted out of the warehouse, constantly making noises.

It was as if they were calling for a child.

It barged into the bonsai area like a madman.

Even the largest bonsai tree is like paper in front of it, leaving a mess in its wake.

The police officers in the yard were all so frightened that they hid everywhere.

It's out of control even now.

It ran all over the yard, calling out repeatedly, trying to find its child.

You can sense its urgency and sadness just from its cries.

There was no response. So the mother elephant charged straight toward the gate.

Chen Ruidong's expression changed slightly. Although this place was some distance from the town, there were cars on the road at the foot of the mountain.

If this were to happen on the highway, it would be a real problem.

Shen Xin quickly caught up with him.

The mother elephant thundered out of the yard, scraping against half of the iron gate.

With a loud crash, the heavy iron gate, weighing several hundred pounds, was sent flying.

After exiting the iron gate, it paused briefly, then turned and headed up the mountain.

The mountains and forests are still its most familiar environment, and it believes that the child has returned to the mountains.

The cement road leading up the mountain only goes up to the gate of the courtyard. Behind it is a barren mountain with a gentle slope and only a narrow path leading up the mountain.

The mother elephant called out as she went up the mountain, and wherever she went, small trees as thick as a bowl fell down at the slightest touch.

By the time Shen Xin caught up, it had already disappeared behind a banana grove.

From afar, only its urgent calls could be heard.

Shen Xin caught up and took a look.

It didn't climb the mountain, but instead ran along the ridgeline into the distance.

Anyway, there's nothing that can stop it, so it's not a big problem.

Wang Feng, who caught up, said, "Isn't this the same as releasing them directly?"

Chen Ruidong thought about it for a while, then felt it was inappropriate.

Releasing animals is fine, but it should be done in a reasonable way.

There have never been any wild elephant herds in Dehong. If the mother elephant is released like this, she may not be able to find her own herd.

Moreover, running around everywhere is probably not a good idea.

"I think I should call Lao Tan and ask him."

Chen Ruidong called Tan Qingming.

The people were on their way when they heard that the elephant's chains had already been cut with an angle grinder. Tan Qingming was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly asked, "No, how did you do that?"

He knew that wild elephants were very aggressive, so the propaganda in southern Yunnan always said that if you saw a wild elephant, don't hesitate, run as far away as possible.

Tan Qingming could imagine how irritable an elephant would be if it were hunted and chained up.

Then, with a noisy angle grinder, he cut the chain open.
So elephants don't attack people?
Chen Ruidong said, "It can't be explained in a few words. The problem now is that the elephant ran away and it was injured. I'm worried about whether there will be any problems."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, as if to say, "What do you think?"

Hudian is quite remote, surrounded by mountains, but it has gradually become more lively in recent years.

Because there is a meadow inside that is known as "Little Shangri-La", it attracts many tourists.

These wild elephants are running around everywhere, it's causing a lot of trouble.

"The key is that we don't understand elephants," Tan Qingming added.

He has never rescued an Asian elephant.

I'm familiar with Mengle, but the problem is that it's 800 or 900 kilometers away, and it would take time to get them to come and help.

"I'll come over first and we'll talk then." Tan Qingming hung up the phone.

Chen Ruidong was also at a loss, so he suggested using a drone to search for the mother elephant's whereabouts.

The drone quickly spotted it.

It followed the foot of the mountain, heading northeast.

It wandered around from time to time, constantly looking up and shouting.

You can feel its anxiety even through the screen.

Chen Ruidong thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Delin, you arrange for someone to contact the Hudian Police Station again and send out a reminder in the township."

"Then we'll use drones to monitor it, and wait for Director Tan and the others to arrive before deciding what to do."

"Wang Feng, leave some people at the scene to continue searching. Don't miss any corner. You go back and leave the person in Lianjiang for now. Interrogate him as soon as possible."

"Strive to break through Cai Xingquan's defenses."

He gave a serious reminder.

Cai Xingquan is definitely going to die; there is absolutely no chance of him surviving.

Obtaining a large amount of intelligence is very valuable; it would be best if we could get them to talk.

The mother elephant was discovered by accident; the case still needs to be handled as soon as possible.

Wang Feng nodded, called out to Huang Delin, and the two quickly went off.

"Shen Xin, you've been busy for two days, go back and rest first. I won't say thank you anymore, but once this case is cleared up, I'll treat you to a good meal."

He was all smiles.

We just took inventory; it's in the bonsai base area.

This is no small achievement.

The case was handled so efficiently thanks in no small part to the help of Shen Xin and Erlong.

Shen Xin quickly declined, then said he was prepared to stay a little longer until the people from the rescue station arrived to check on the situation.

“As you can see, I can help if this elephant gets out of control,” Shen Xin said.

The mother elephant had been starving for more than a month and was also injured.

Since we've run into it, we can't just ignore it.

As he spoke, Shen Xin brought up the matter of the baby elephant again.

Given the mother elephant's condition, the only way to calm her down is to find her calf.

"Don't worry, I'll have someone look for it."

Chen Ruidong nodded and quickly left.
