Beast Taming: Starting from Transmigration and Starting with a Cheat Code

Is the main point still about the cat thief?

Mu Haoran's mind was a bit of a mess, but looking into Qin Ming's incredibly sincere and mission-driven eyes, he nodded vaguely: "Then... shall we continue searching?"

……

"This used to be the hideout of a gang of habitual thieves. Some of the stolen goods haven't been fully inventoried and found yet, so it's temporarily sealed off."

No one knows how it happened, but Mu Haoran was "tricked" into coming here by Qin Ming.

When he saw Qin Ming pull a fluffy, white hamster with bright, darting eyes from his pocket, his eyes widened slowly: "This...this is...?"

"Oh, this is Cangxuan's good friend, Xiaobao. He's always stuffed in my pocket and it's not breathable, so I let him out for a stroll," Qin Ming explained without changing his expression.

Is that the main point?!

Mu Haoran felt that Qin Ming had explained something, but it also seemed like he hadn't explained anything at all; his CPU was a bit overloaded.

Qin Ming couldn't care less about him and hadn't walked more than a few steps with Xiao Bao.

"Waaah! Qin Ming, there's treasure inside this wall!"

Qin Ming immediately stopped and carefully examined the walls. "The dimensions and layout of this house are wrong."

Mu Haoran: ?

Qin Ming tapped around and finally found an unusual spot. "Listen," he said, "it sounds like it's hollow inside."

Mu Haoran: !

His attention was instantly drawn.

"Woof~ Qin Ming, there's something under the coffee table to your right. Take two steps back and crouch down, you should be able to touch it."

Qin Ming did as instructed, walking over and pretending to look around. He casually squatted down, his hand groping under the coffee table for a while, and sure enough, he touched a tiny bump. He subconsciously pressed it down hard—

"Click..." A slight mechanical sound came from the wall that had just been knocked on, and a tightly sealed hidden compartment quietly slid open!

Mu Haoran: !!

Before long, colleagues who had been alerted to the situation arrived and began to deal with the unexpectedly discovered hiding place for stolen goods.

Looking at the seized items, Mu Haoran subconsciously wanted to go back with them.

"Don't go, don't go!"

Qin Ming swiftly grabbed him again, his movements practiced and natural, his tone sincere: "We haven't found the cat thief yet! That's our main mission!"

Mu Haoran: "..."

In the afternoon, Qin Ming searched for the cat thief at various suspicious locations along the way. With Mu Haoran's precise assistance, Qin Ming made considerable progress.

As evening approached, Qin Ming, "led" by Mu Haoran, arrived at a deserted villa.

As usual, let the baby out first to get some fresh air.

"Oh, there's treasure underground."

Qin Ming surveyed the eerie villa, pondered for a moment, and said to Mu Haoran, whose expression had become somewhat numb, "Do you think there might be some kind of secret room or cellar beneath this type of villa?"

"Many hands make light work. Since we're already here, why don't we go in and search together?" Without waiting for a reply, he pulled Mu Haoran along and began the "search."

Under Qin Ming's seemingly casual but actually precise guidance, Mu Haoran inexplicably walked to the fireplace in the living room, where an inconspicuous ceramic teacup sat in the corner.

"The glaze on this teacup... does the owner of this house have such good taste?" Qin Ming muttered casually.

Upon hearing this, Mu Haoran subconsciously reached out and picked up the teacup—

"Rumble..."

Behind them, an extremely heavy solid wood bookshelf slowly moved aside on its own, revealing a dark, downward-extending entrance!

Mu Haoran's hand froze in mid-air, holding the teacup, unsure whether to put it down or not, his whole body trembling slightly.

In just one short day, he experienced so many bizarre things!

So much so that his worldview was repeatedly shattered and reassembled!

My brain feels like it's growing back, but it also feels like it's been completely lost...

What exactly did he do?!

Mu Haoran was not the only one who felt this intense shock and sense of unreality.

Chen Taolue, deputy captain of the criminal investigation team, was working on paperwork in his office when he was startled by the commotion in the case-handling hall outside.

He went out and took a look, but he couldn't go back. He was busy welcoming and seeing off one suspect after another.

Although some people were still trying to appear relaxed, they couldn't hide it from the veteran detective's eyes—many of them were definitely carrying something on their backs!

The entire case-handling center was bustling with activity all afternoon, with phones ringing non-stop and escort vehicles frequently coming and going.

But instead of showing signs of fatigue, each officer's face radiated an irrepressible excitement and joy, like a cat catching a mouse!

They are not afraid of hardship, but they are afraid of having no clues or results, of letting bad guys go unpunished, and of letting the people down!

Although delighted with the soaring performance, as a grassroots leader, Captain Chen of the criminal investigation team still needed to understand the cause of the incident.

What is an accident?

"Can there really be so many accidents in a row?"

A colleague then called Mu Haoran, who had not yet returned to the team, to inquire about the latest developments.

On the other end of the phone, Mu Haoran's voice was filled with a strange excitement and focus, amidst background noise: "...Almost there! We're almost there! Trust me!...Uh, I have to go now, we've made a new discovery here!"

The colleague held the phone that had been hung up on, looking puzzled. A short while later, he received a call back—he had been "shaken" to the scene…

The colleague who was "shaken" in, looked at the new batch of suspicious items seized at the scene, then at Qin Ming, whose eyes were shining as if he were playing a real-life version of "Spot the Difference," and Mu Haoran, who looked like he was thinking, "Who am I? Where am I? But I'm so excited." He fell silent.

The veteran officer leaned closer to Qin Ming and asked tactfully, "Consultant Qin... um... have you had dinner yet? Our case-handling center... is a bit... uh, almost overflowing..."

Hearing this, Qin Ming snapped out of his efficient "hunting mode" and reluctantly stopped "sweeping".

He knew very well that although he had an incredibly smooth day and was extremely efficient, this was largely due to the extensive groundwork laid by the police beforehand.

—Thick case files, detailed information on the area, and records of investigations into habitual offenders.

Apart from the first one who bumped into them on his own, the others were all successfully "picked up" by Cangxuan and Xiaobao's superior perception after arriving at the correct location.

If he casts a net everywhere and goes in the wrong direction, he'll be completely lost; Qin Ming was well aware of this.

So although these are just "small fish and shrimp," far less meritorious than the big fish, they are plentiful.

Furthermore, Comrade Mu Haoran provided extremely high emotional value, and he was also very cooperative. Even when faced with bizarre events, he remained nonchalant and didn't delve into them. Qin Mingchao liked this place.

Day two.

As soon as Qin Ming entered the police station, he sensed that something was wrong.

Team Leader Chen personally came to greet him, his expression more solemn than ever before.

"Advisor Qin, we've all heard about your achievements yesterday... they were truly eye-opening."

He carefully chose his words and pushed a thick file in front of Qin Ming. "Here is a long-standing unsolved case that has troubled everyone for many years. The clues have almost completely run dry. We hope to get your help."

If this had been said yesterday morning, Qin Ming would have readily agreed. However, after yesterday's enjoyable and carefree cat-hunting trip, Qin Ming hesitated about this task that might tie him to a specific case.

"The cat has been found, and we are just waiting for the owner to come and verify it."

"I see~"

Qin Ming sighed regretfully, then looked up and met Captain Chen's meaningful gaze.

"Oh, it's my duty, I'm willing!"
