"Alright, eating other turtles' tails is quite common in your kind." Qin Ming rubbed the little fat boy's smooth head.

In large-scale group breeding of turtles, it's difficult to find a few large turtles with intact tails. During their growth, hatchlings often suffer damage to their long, thin tails from the curiosity or fighting of their companions.

Unless you're one of those lucky kids who've been carefully isolated and raised since childhood and enjoy the treatment of an "only child," and you have to pray that there aren't any troublesome neighbors like Little Fatty who are "naturally lively" and "curious."

Therefore, while Qin Ming found Xiao Pang's "self-disclosure" both amusing and exasperating, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible or overly critical.

"You hadn't become a spirit beast yet, and your intelligence hadn't developed. You acted mostly on instinct, so it's not your fault."

"But now, would you eat? Like those men who came to see you off in the river."

"No, the turtles will protect them, even fighting off the bigmouth fish..."

Little Fatty was only halfway through his sentence when he realized that Big Mouth Fish had already submitted and become "his own fish," so he should also have the magnanimity to tolerate it.

So he quickly changed his tune, trying to salvage the situation, saying, "The turtle refers to a bad fish like it did before."

"real."

Qin Ming was amused by his adorable appearance and didn't pursue the matter further.

For the rest of the journey, Little Fatty was immersed in the satisfaction of his "big shopping spree".

From high-quality grass seeds to pigs, cattle, sheep, and chickens, Xiaopang has almost provided all the living supplies needed to build a basic small-scale ecological cycle.

A sense of blissful fulfillment lingered in Xiao Pang's heart.

As the space gradually came to life, he was filled with anticipation for the future "Grassland Empire" and "Gourmet Kingdom".

Just as Xiaopang was planning which plot of land to plant grass and which slope to graze sheep on, Qin Ming, who was standing nearby, suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky.

He clearly felt that the dormant golden bead of merit in his mind suddenly shone brightly, its size increased dramatically, and a powerful yet gentle force of merit surged in, merging into his soul and every part of his body!

"This is……?!"

Qin Ming's heart skipped a beat: Had there been a major breakthrough in a previously unsolved case, or... had the fugitive been caught?

This level of positive feedback is far beyond what ordinary clues can provide, and it is highly likely that the case has made decisive progress.

For example, when a villain is caught and his innocence is redressed, Heaven will bestow a generous reward.

Sure enough, as if to confirm his guess, the phone in his pocket rang urgently the next second.

The ringing bell shattered the slightly noisy environment of the farm and interrupted Xiao Pang's fantasy about "one hundred ways to roast lamb chops".

Qin Ming took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.

A calm but barely concealed voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Captain Chen, who was in charge of the case: "Advisor Qin! You're absolutely brilliant! Your prediction was completely correct!"

"We conducted a comprehensive underwater search and sifted through the riverbank silt within the area you indicated, and found crucial evidence—a package abandoned by the suspect! It contained not only the victim's belongings, but also important personal items that the suspect himself was unaware he had left behind!"

Team Leader Chen spoke faster with excitement: "By comparing the biological samples extracted from the evidence with the database, we quickly identified the suspect."

Just minutes ago, the arrest team successfully apprehended him! When the suspect saw the evidence we presented, his expression... he completely broke down, and he confessed to the crime without hesitation!

Qin Ming looked at the sky. From determining the scope of the investigation to the fact that things had settled down, it had only been half a day.

This efficiency, enhanced by modern criminal investigation techniques, is indeed astonishing.

In today's technologically advanced society, with the Skynet system, DNA technology, big data investigation, and a plethora of other criminal investigation methods, the probability of someone committing a crime and remaining at large for an extended period without being apprehended is extremely low.

Often, it's not that criminals are particularly clever or cunning, but rather a matter of sheer luck or unexpected natural factors.

For example, a heavy rain might wash away the footprints, or an animal might unintentionally disturb the scene, erasing the traces and increasing the difficulty of the investigation.

However, no matter how careful and meticulous a criminal is, as long as there is even the slightest oversight, or even if he makes no oversights and carefully and meticulously delivers the perfect answer he can, he will still fail.

But if they run into some free expert who can find a few advanced concepts and deliver a devastating blow from another dimension, the criminals will most likely still fall...

The lazy setting sun cast its rays across the earth. Qin Ming listened to the good news coming over the phone, feeling a calm joy in his heart.

He stretched comfortably and told Little Fatty to head home.

"Advisor Qin? Advisor Qin? Are you still listening?" When there was no response for a while, Captain Chen on the other end of the phone quickly confirmed.

"Yes, Captain Chen." Qin Ming snapped out of his thoughts, his tone filled with sincere congratulations, "Congratulations on solving the case so quickly!"

"No!" Captain Chen's voice was firm and resolute. "Advisor Qin, it should be 'shared joy'!"

"Hmm?" Qin Ming raised an eyebrow slightly, somewhat puzzled.

"In accordance with relevant regulations and previous agreements, as the special consultant for this case, you provided crucial clues and directions, which directly contributed to the successful resolution of the case."

Captain Chen's tone was formal yet enthusiastic: "Your temporary advisor position will be highly praised based on your performance this time, and it will be recorded."

"The corresponding consultant bonus will be directly deposited into your designated account."

"In this evaluation of your contributions, we will also apply for a third-class merit award for you! This is an honor you deserve!"

As the sun set, Qin Ming listened to the conversation on the phone, a slight smile playing on his lips.

It seems that the rewards from this "part-time job" are even greater than expected.

Looking down at the chubby boy who was tugging at his trouser leg with his paws, urging him to hurry back and settle the new "subjects," Qin Ming smiled and hung up the phone.

With this matter settled, they should now continue their journey to another world.
