Chapter 109 Hidden Side Story? A Surprise in Antique Appraisal!
"Old Wang, I'm afraid this won't work, will it?"

Professor Zhou advised, "Criminal investigation and antique appraisal are completely different fields of knowledge!"

"No matter how keen a dog's sense of smell is, it still needs a 'target scent' to distinguish things! You can't expect it to smell real Warring States period bronze artifacts first and then make a comparison, can you?"

Qi Gaowei also felt that this was unreliable, and he politely declined, saying, "Old Wang, I understand your feelings, but 'not demolishing' it... how should I put it, it has a very strong personality! It's only interested in cases, especially big and important cases!"

"You want it to look after a bunch of bottles and jars... it probably won't even bother with them! And to be honest, I can't control it, I really can't help with this!"

Hearing Qi Gaowei say this, the light on Director Wang's face dimmed. He waved his hand with a wry smile and said, "Sigh, it's nothing. I know this idea is unreliable. It's just... I was forced into this situation and had no choice but to let my imagination run wild."

The atmosphere in the private room became somewhat somber for a moment.

at this time.

"Om - hum -"

Qi Gaowei's personal cell phone suddenly vibrated.

He picked it up and saw that the caller ID showed "Su Yueling".

He instinctively pressed the answer button and turned on speakerphone.

On the other end of the phone, Su Yueling's clear yet slightly helpless voice immediately came through.

"Director Qi, I'm sorry to bother you so late... It's 'not to be demolished,' they asked me to ask you about it..."

Su Yueling seemed somewhat hesitant to speak, and paused before continuing:

"It...it asked me to ask if there are any criminal gangs operating illegally in the province or even nationwide recently? Preferably those that are deeply hidden and have remained unsolved cases for a long time?"

"It said...it said it's been itching to get its hands moving and wants to go out and stretch its muscles!"

As soon as Su Yueling finished speaking, everyone in the private room was stunned for a moment.

They were just discussing how "amazing" this dog was, and the next second, the dog proactively sent a letter of challenge through a "translator"?

They even specifically requested the kind of tough nuts to crack that are "hidden deep and impossible to catch".
What confidence! What... arrogance!
Researcher Li's eyes gleamed as he muttered to himself, "Actively seeking out highly challenging tasks... This... This is a behavior pattern that only highly intelligent beings would exhibit! It possesses self-motivation and a desire for challenge!"

Director Wang stood up excitedly, looking at Qi Gaowei's phone as if it were a rare national treasure.

Only Qi Gaowei wore a wry smile that said, "Just as I expected."

He knows it!

This dog is definitely not one to stay still! It caused such a commotion in Siam, and only calmed down for a few days after returning home, but now it can't sit still again.

but……

He scratched his head and said into the phone, "Xiao Su, you should tell me, Handong Province has been... really peaceful lately!"

"Thanks to it, the crime rate in our province is almost the lowest in the country. Those old, notorious gangs have either been busted by it or they've run away. Where am I supposed to find cases for them now!"

This isn't just bragging.

Since Chu Sheng uprooted several tough guys in the province, the underworld of Handong Province has entered an unprecedented period of "depression," where people can practically leave their belongings unattended and doors unlocked at night!
Qi Gaowei was genuinely worried. He couldn't just conjure up a criminal gang out of thin air to please Dog King, could he?
As he hesitated, he caught a glimpse of Director Wang's expectant and eager eyes out of the corner of his eye.

A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

How about... Try it?
Anyway, they're all "unsolved cases." Unsolved cases in antique appraisal can be considered unsolved cases, right?
Qi Gaowei cleared his throat and tentatively said to Su Yueling on the other end of the phone, "Little Su, there really aren't any serious criminal cases lately. However... I do have a rather tricky 'cold case' here, I wonder if you'd be interested in solving it."

He paused for a moment, then quickly gave a brief and concise account of the batch of antiques in the provincial museum that were of questionable authenticity.

"...That's the situation. My old classmate, Director Wang of the Provincial Museum, was forced into a corner and wanted to ask if he could help 'smell' it if they didn't want to dismantle it, to see if they could find any clues. Of course, this is not a big deal; if they're not interested, then forget it."

On the other end of the phone, Su Yueling was also stunned after hearing the story.

To ask them not to dismantle the artifacts for appraisal? This... this is just too outrageous.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "Director Qi, I can't make that decision. I need to ask the dog in question for its opinion. Please wait a moment."

After saying that, Su Yueling hung up the phone.

Inside the private room, Director Wang nervously rubbed his hands together, his heart pounding in his chest.

Qi Gaowei waved his hand and said to everyone, "Don't get your hopes up too high. I think it's unlikely. With its temperament, it probably won't be interested in bottles and jars!"

……

Police dog training base, inside the presidential suite.

Chu Sheng was lying on the carpet, resting with his eyes closed, using the [Tactical Simulation] tool to simulate various plans to attack the drug traffickers' stronghold in northern Myanmar.

Su Yueling pushed open the door and walked in, squatted down beside him, and repeated Qi Gaowei's request from earlier with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

"...No demolition. That's how it is. Director Wang wants to invite you to the museum to help check the authenticity of a batch of antiques. If you don't want to go, I'll decline their offer."

Chu Sheng lifted his eyelids slightly, his heart completely unmoved.

Go to a museum to see antiques?
What a joke!
This dog is a decorated police dog, a future celestial dog, not an archaeology dog!
Can you eat that thing? Can you fight with it? Can it trigger system quests?

No? Then what's the point? You'd be wasting my precious time!

He was just about to shake his head, signaling Su Yueling to refuse.

Just then, that cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in his mind!

[Ding! Special event request detected, meets the conditions for triggering a hidden mission!]

[Hidden Side Quest Unlocked: The Museum's Secret!]

[Mission Description: Accept Director Wang's request to go to the Handong Provincial Museum to authenticate a batch of antiques whose authenticity is difficult to determine.]

【mission rewards:? ? ? 】

[Mission Hint: Behind seemingly ordinary antiques may lie unexpected surprises!]

Chu Sheng: "???"

His dog eyes widened instantly!
Is there such a good thing?

Hidden side quest? Reward or three question marks?
Isn't this just like those serendipitous quests you see most often in online games? The rewards are usually incredibly generous!
"An unexpected surprise"...

Could there be clues to some earth-shattering case hidden in those bottles and jars? Or perhaps, some clueless tomb raiding gang left their scent behind?

Chu Sheng's mind immediately started working.

I initially thought this was incredibly boring, but now it seems like a godsend!
It's done!

This job, I'll take it!

He jumped up from the carpet, wagged his tail energetically, and then nudged Su Yueling's hand with his head, signaling her to quickly agree.

The myna bird on his back also sensed its leader's excitement, flapping its wings and calling out in its distinctive voice:
"Go! Go! Hurry up! Hurry up! Let's go treasure hunting!"

Su Yueling was taken aback by Chu Sheng's sudden 180-degree change in attitude, but then she understood what it meant.

She quickly took out her phone and dialed Qi Gaowei's number again.
