Animal Detective

Chapter 108 The Great Beauty Trains the Black Panther
"Do you want to take care of it?"

Ding Yuwei asked awkwardly, knowing that Shen Xin had brought the two dogs out to train their tracking abilities.

Shen Xin snorted and turned off the video, saying, "Never mind him for now, we'll deal with him later. If it doesn't work, we'll just send him to the shelter."

They thought Tiger Stripe was smart and could be trained, which is why they decided to take him in.

Since they're so wild and won't learn to behave, then send them to a shelter. As for whether to adopt them or physically destroy them, that's none of our business.

Ding Yuwei nodded and silently drank her porridge, her face still flushed.

After the meal, the two split up and each went in a different direction to ask questions.

When we met at noon, we naturally came up empty-handed.

Ding Yuwei suggested going to the site to take a look, but Shen Xin thought about it and decided to give up.

It's been six years since the case was filed, and it happened on a national highway. The environment has changed, and the road has been renovated countless times. It's pointless to look at it now.

And his truck.

After the evidence was collected, it was returned to Xiao Hong's wife, Gao Liyun, a few months later.

"Ask again."

Guo Chunping asked for a whole year, while I've only asked for one day. It's still early.

Ding Yuwei nodded. She wasn't feeling tired, but rather she was considering whether there were any other solutions.

For example, offering a reward.

“Shen Xin, I know what you’re thinking. You’re looking for the truck driver who happened to be passing by when the crime happened. Maybe someone saw the robbery.”

"But it's possible he didn't say that at the time, or that he was a transit driver, and not necessarily a freight driver, but possibly a regular driver."

It's not like only trucks travel on national highways.

"This is too broad a scope. In 11, the internet was not as developed. Now the internet is much more convenient. Perhaps we can find the driver we saw back then by offering a reward online."

Ding Yuwei put forward her own ideas.

Shen Xin crossed his arms and thought for a while.

To be honest, Ding Yuwei's analysis was quite accurate.

First of all, it's not just the truck driver who witnessed the incident; ordinary drivers could also have seen it.

Therefore, the scope of the investigation will be much larger.

"Wouldn't it be more likely to be a cross-border driver, since Captain Sun and his team also offered a reward through television and newspapers?"

Back then, solving cases relied on a few key methods: thorough investigation and mobilizing the masses.

"So if it's a local driver, he should have seen the reward offer, but there's been no result, so it's very likely that he's a driver crossing the border."

"And as you said, the internet wasn't as developed back then, but now it's very developed and communication is very convenient. You might just make a discovery through the internet."

Shen Xin analyzed it.

Ding Yuwei nodded repeatedly; that was exactly what she thought.

Shen Xin said, "Let's continue our visits today and ask Captain Sun and the others for their thoughts tomorrow."

Offering a reward also requires financial support.

Shen Xin checked the location again.

Da Mei wandered even further, reaching a straight-line distance of 11 kilometers.

The black panther had already tracked it down, and the location data showed that the two animals overlapped.

Shen Xin turned on the Black Panther's camera. He strolled along the road but didn't see Da Mei.

Switching to Da Mei's camera, Shen Xin realized that Da Mei was now lying on the black panther's body.

Ding Yuwei had heard Shen Xin say that Da Mei was very smart, and now she had a direct experience of it. She asked, "Should we bring them back? They must be hungry after all this time."

Shen Xin said, "It's alright, with Da Mei here, they won't go hungry."

Location data showed that they had already wandered into the town.

With so many people, and with her stunning beauty, she would never have to worry about food or drink.

Sure enough, as soon as the words were spoken, a beautiful woman with long hair, a straight face, and a round face attracted the attention of two passing girls, who began to call out to her.

Seeing the black panther strutting around without even turning his head, Da Mei smacked him on the head to signal him to stop.

Then he turned to look at the two girls and meowed a few times.

She's a total whine-whiner.

Unfortunately, it can only be admired from afar and cannot be touched.

Da Mei still resisted being touched by others, and she also remembered Shen Xin's instructions.

The two girls discussed the conspicuous vest, debating whether it was taken, completely misunderstanding Da Mei's meaning.

At this point, Da Mei couldn't wait any longer. She jumped down, wiggled her hips, and walked into a shop by the roadside. When she got to the door, she meowed at the two girls a few times.

The two girls then realized that Da Mei wanted to eat.

"She's so smart!" a girl exclaimed.

The two stepped forward, but Da Mei had already gone into the store on her own. Black Panther hesitated for a moment, then waited outside.

In the video, Da Mei wandered around for a while, and finally stopped in front of the sausage.

Even the boss was amazed, saying he had never seen such a smart cat.

A girl picked up a sausage and placed it in front of Da Mei. Da Mei didn't take it, shook her head, and pointed to a thicker sausage with her paw.

"Wow, this cat is sentient!" A girl had already taken out her phone and started recording.

The remaining girl quickly took out the sausage and placed it in front of Da Mei.

Da Mei meowed at the boss, as if to say, "Don't look at me, the two of them will pay," and then walked out with two sausages in her mouth.

She tossed the sausage to the black panther and started biting into a small sausage herself.

The two girls and the boss followed them out, and they exclaimed in amazement.

Ding Yuwei said, both amused and exasperated, "No wonder you weren't worried. It turns out she can ask for food herself."

Shen Xin nodded, genuinely impressed by Da Mei's astonishingly high IQ.

In the footage, the black panther looked down but didn't eat.

Shen Xin had taught him not to eat things given to him by strangers.

Police dogs, sir, don't let them get eaten by criminals' two sausages.

Da Mei meowed and pushed the sausage forward.

Black Panther still wouldn't take it, and even turned it away.

Da Mei paused for a moment, then suddenly leaped up and swung her claw at the black panther's head.

It's as if it's saying, "You're being too kind of me, why aren't you eating?"

Cats are very fast.

Black Panther was hit and was a little dazed, then tried to pounce on Big Beauty.

Da Mei reacted so quickly, she took off running.

The black panther immediately gave chase.

Da Mei was agile and quick-witted, and she crawled directly under the chassis of a car parked on the side of the road.

The black panther couldn't reach it and growled a few times in frustration.

They called out "Da Mei" as if they were arguing.

Shen Xin was about to turn off the video, feeling both amused and exasperated. It was clear that Da Mei was used to being the boss, while Black Panther was not familiar with Da Mei and didn't respect her.

It's just a little commotion, it should be fine.

Ding Yuwei quickly stopped her, saying how interesting it was, she had never seen such a smart cat.

In the footage, it seems that the two girls also followed.

Black Panther searched around for a while, then seemed to give up, lying on the ground and staring intently at Da Mei.

Da Mei then slowly walked out, tentatively stretched out her paws, and teased the black panther. Seeing that the black panther was unmoved, she moved closer.

Black Panther turned his head away unhappily.

Da Mei circled around to face him again, their eyes met for a moment, then she turned back, picked up the sausage again, and tossed it in front of the black panther.

By this time, many passersby had stopped to watch.

"Is she training Black Panther?" Ding Yuwei was starting to understand.

Shen Xin nodded, guessing that was the case.

They probably mistook the black panther for the dog in the Tom and Jerry cartoon.

Because Tom always teases Spike.

The black panther made a move to pounce.

Da Mei darted away in a flash.

Seeing the black panther stop, it turned back and pushed the sausage towards the panther again.

It seemed as if she wouldn't give up until Black Panther ate it today.

Black Panther stared at Da Mei for a long time before giving in and lowering his head to eat the sausage.

Da Mei then approached with satisfaction, and with a leap, jumped onto the black panther's back.

Black Panther didn't refuse, and silently bit open the sausage. He would spit out the casing, so it wasn't a big problem.

After eating most of it, Black Panther took Da Mei for a stroll again.

Shen Xin turned off the video.

Ding Yuwei, still savoring the moment, said, "Shen Xin, your cat is truly a genius, so incredibly clever."

Shen Xin thought of tiger stripes.

What's this guy up to now?

According to his location tracking, he was still wandering around Dongtou Village.

When Shen Xin turned on the camera, he found him dozing in the grass, and right next to him was a dog.

Even more amazingly, it wasn't the white dog I saw in the morning, but a yellow dog I'd never seen before.

It's skinny, and it's hard to tell whether it's male or female, but if Shen Xin were to guess, it would most likely be a female dog.

Shen Xin was amused.

Good grief, you've clearly gone out to have fun.
