Animal Detective

Chapter 82 The Quarrelsome Parrot (Seeking First Subscription)

Yangpeng New Village.

Shen Xin and Ding Yuwei, carrying fruit, knocked on the door of apartment 301 in unit 2.

An elderly man with gray hair opened the door and asked the two people with a puzzled look who they were looking for.

Shen Xin quickly introduced himself.

The old man was Qin Chuanwang. Upon hearing that they were colleagues from the branch office, he immediately smiled and pulled the two of them inside.

"Old woman, we have a guest! Quick, find my pot of tea."

He called out to the inner room, then invited the two to sit down, saying that there was a pot of good tea and that they must try it.

His wife was also very kind, smiling as she cut watermelon for the two of them to eat. She even said that it was rare for colleagues to come over, so they shouldn't leave at noon and should stay for lunch while she went to buy groceries.

Shen Xin quickly refused.

But Qin Chuanwang wouldn't listen and told his wife to go buy groceries.

I could tell he was happy that his colleague came to visit.

Shen Xin glanced quickly at the furnishings inside the room.

It's a very ordinary two-bedroom apartment. The living room isn't big, and there's a certificate of honor hanging on the wall.

Third-class merit.

Qin Chuanwang noticed Shen Xin's gaze, proudly raised his left hand, and showed Shen Xin the medal in his hand.

They heard that someone had taken hostages, and they seized the opportunity to rush up and stop them. He reacted quickly and grabbed the knife that the assailant was about to stab at the hostage, almost cutting off his finger in the process.

"Great!"

Shen Xin gave a thumbs up.

Qin Chuanwang laughed heartily, his smile widening as he urged the two to eat watermelon and asked what they needed.

"You don't come to the temple without a reason. If there's anything I can do to help you, just say the word."

Qin Chuanwang was not annoyed at all; on the contrary, he was excited.

Shen Xin nodded and began to talk about Liu Laibin's case.

"Liu Laibin?"

Qin Chuanwang immediately frowned, his expression becoming somewhat serious. After a moment's thought, he asked why he had suddenly decided to investigate this old case again.

Upon hearing that the bureau was going to reopen investigations into some old cases, Qin Chuanwang sighed silently and said, "That's right. If some cases are delayed any longer, there may really be no chance to investigate them thoroughly."

Then he added, "I remember not long ago, our branch solved a seven-year-old cold case, which was even on the news. This shows that there is still hope."

He casually asked how the seven-year-old case was solved, and whether any new technology was used.

"No."

Shen Xin shook his head and briefly explained the situation.

"You broke it?"

Qin Chuanwang's eyes widened as he realized that Shen Xin had helped solve Wu Jiawang's case.

And the suspect was identified through a dog.

"The future life is terrible."

Qin Chuanwang looked at Shen Xin in disbelief.

Shen Xin quickly replied that he was too kind and that he still had a lot to learn from seniors like Qin Chuanwang.

Qin Chuanwang waved his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "The case of Liu Laibin is quite strange. We had clues and immediately identified the suspect, which is this Sun Kai."

"But, as the saying goes, geese leave their tracks. You know, we've put in so much effort, surely we can find a living person?"

"But who would have thought that he would get stuck at the last step and just couldn't find this Sun Kai no matter what. We even offered a reward, thinking of sticking to our old tradition, but the result was still the same: no such person could be found."

"It can only be said that Sun Kai is very smart and has a strong sense of counter-surveillance."

"The problem is that a criminal with such high intelligence wouldn't only do it once, would he? Even if he leaves Nanjiang, he will definitely commit the same crime in other places."

“You know, once these criminals have done it once, they will never do it again. If they succeed, they will keep doing it until they are caught.”

"But we have been searching across the country for similar cases. There are some, but none of them are Sun Kai's group."

Shen Xin nodded thoughtfully.

indeed.

Human desires are limitless; the idea of ​​stopping once you've earned 30 million is simply impossible in reality.

So according to Qin Chuanwang, it is indeed a bit strange.

Seeing that the old man had started talking, Shen Xin simply asked a few more questions.

For example, Ding Yuwei mentioned the source of the money that Liu Laibin made his fortune.

"We investigated, but found nothing. Liu Laibin went to Jiaozhou in 05 and stayed there for several years. Nobody knows what he did there." "Anyway, he made a lot of money when he came back. He said he was in business. Some of his relatives asked him to help them out, but he refused. He said that it's easy to make money in the south, but you have to make it yourself and have the courage."

"At that time, quite a few people went to the south to do business and made a fortune, but we really couldn't find out exactly how they made their fortunes. But it was probably not the kind of business that was legitimate."

If it's a legitimate business, like running a company, then there will be records.

The fact that it can't be found only proves that he's involved in shady activities.

They also asked about the situation of other people.

Qin Chuanwang didn't reveal much useful information either.

Shen Xin could tell that Qin Chuanwang had investigated everything he could think of back then.

"By the way, Officer Qin, do you remember Liu Laibin's parrot? What happened to it?" Shen Xin asked.

"Parrot?"

Qin Chuanwang was stunned for a while before slapping his forehead and saying, "Yes, there is such a parrot. It seems that Liu Laibin asked someone to bring it back from abroad, and he keeps it in his office."

"Later I remember we handed it over to the Forestry Bureau. Our city doesn't have a forestry bureau. I think the Forestry Bureau sent the parrot to the city zoo, but I don't know the specifics."

As he spoke, he asked Shen Xin why he was asking about the parrot.

Shen Xin didn't go into details, only saying that it was written in the case file and that he had noticed it and asked casually.

Now that we know where they are, things will be much easier.

With no other option, the two stayed for lunch and then immediately set off for the Nanjiang City Zoo.

Shen Xin is quite familiar with this place. When he was a child, his parents often brought him here to play and watch circus performances.

Later, a new wildlife park opened in Lishan District, with more animals and an amusement park, which affected the business here, and it gradually declined.

I remember there was a news report last year that the animals were not being fed well, the tigers were so thin they were skin and bones, and they were even using dogs to imitate Siberian wolves.

The zoo is in the new area.

This area used to be very desolate, but now it has been designated as a new district and the environment has improved.

However, the zoo gate remained dilapidated, just as Shen Xin remembered it.

Upon seeing the gate, Ding Yuwei stopped, her eyes somewhat dazed, as if recalling some memory.

Shen Xin was able to guess, and later, out of curiosity, he asked Chen Chao about it.

Ding Yuwei's father worked in the anti-drug sector and was highly capable. He was later transferred to work in Ningshan City, the provincial capital.

Then he died a glorious death.

Her mother suffered from severe depression due to the shock and is currently recuperating in a nursing home.

It probably reminded him of the time his parents took him to the zoo when he was a child.

Every child in Nanjiang City knows about the bald gorilla at the city zoo.

Arrive at the park management office and identify yourself.

The office director actually knew, and said with a smile, "You mean Pipi? Although it's a bit cheeky, it's now considered one of the top celebrities in our zoo. Many people buy tickets specifically to see it."

Shen Xin hadn't been to the zoo in years. While relieved that the parrot was still alive, he also curiously asked what "cheap" and "top-tier" meant.

"You'll see when you come with me."

The director, surnamed Hong, drove a shuttle bus and took the two of them to the aviary.

Everything was the same as before, with dilapidated and run-down cubicles.

In addition to the large release area, the parrots also have a small, dedicated area with a walking path around it. There is no wire mesh separating the area, and several large parrots are kept in the middle.

When we arrived, many tourists were gathered around the railing, trying to pet a blue-and-gold macaw.

It's grown up now, and it's huge.

It was squatting on the shelf with one leg chained, its head tilted, staring blankly at the crowd.

Among the tourists, some kept teasing him, shouting and cursing.

Then, it suddenly flapped its wings and cried out in a sharp voice, "Idiot, idiot!"

It is very clear.

That wasn't all. When the tourists burst into laughter and retorted that you were the idiot, it got even more excited and shouted, "I'm not the idiot, you're the idiot!"

"see that."

Director Hong said with a smug look on his face, "This is our zoo's famous quarrelsome parrot."

The tourists were amused and burst into laughter.

Then the parrot kept jumping around on the shelf, yelling "idiot, idiot," which made Shen Xin frown.

This parrot seems to have gone mad.
