Animal Detective

Chapter 117 Don't Make a Flag
Zhao Tianxing bought a late-night snack in the broken Pajero of the criminal investigation team.

Shen Xin and Ding Yuwei took out their money and prepared to split the bill.

"Why are you paying? You look down on me, don't you?" Zhao Tianxing said magnanimously, pushing the money back.

Shen Xinyi is curious.

"Brother Xing, did you win the lottery or find money on the street? When did you become so generous?"

Zhao Tianxing is usually quite frugal.

The main reason is that he has a personal hobby of playing with RC remote control cars, which costs a lot of money.

"Am I not generous normally?" Zhao Tianxing glared at Shen Xin and said, "Besides, it's payday today, so what's wrong with me indulging in some revenge spending?"

He took a big bite of the lamb skewer.

"Oh, right, I got paid today."

Shen Xin responded, "No wonder."

Seeing that Shen Xin didn't say anything, Zhao Tianxing asked Shen Xin if he wasn't going to check how much money he had received.
"Why bother watching it? I rarely watch them anyway."

Shen Xinzhen never worried much about her salary.

Zhao Tianxing slapped his forehead and said, "That's right, I almost forgot, you still have tens of millions of assets waiting for you to inherit."

Shen Xin picked up a skewer of grilled gluten, staring intently at the factory gate across the street, and said, "That's not it. It's mainly because I'm single, all alone, with no burdens. I'll spend whatever I'm paid, and it'll definitely be enough."

Nanjiang is located in the Yangtze River Delta region, so the police there are treated quite well.

Zhao Tianxing nodded in deep agreement, saying that as soon as he started dating, he immediately ran out of money.

After saying that, he suddenly turned his head to look at Ding Yuwei.

This left Ding Yuwei completely bewildered. She said, "Brother Xing, do you think the person who was following Gao Liyun might be the murderer who killed Xiao Hong? Maybe we alerted him when we visited the logistics park near the national highway."

If so, then all those 20,000 steps a day weren't for nothing, and this case that's been unsolved for six years can finally be resolved.

"Stop."

Zhao Tianxing quickly waved his hand and said seriously, "Don't make any promises to me yet. In our line of work, making promises usually doesn't end well."

Ding Yuwei said, both amused and exasperated, "Brother Xing, you actually believe in this?"

"Why wouldn't I believe you?" Zhao Tianxing adjusted his chair, reclined, and said, "Do you know how Lao Yu got the bullet hole in his arm?"

Shen and Xin shook their heads.

Zhao Tianxing said, "Back when they were on a mission, his wife called to ask if he was coming home for dinner. He said the case was small and he would be back in a little while. But who knew there were guns on the other side? He was shot on the spot and almost died a glorious death. So you think we can set a flag?"

Shen Xin thought to himself, "Does this have anything to do with anything? That's too idealistic."

Seeing Shen Xin's expression, Zhao Tianxing immediately said, "Shen Xin, you must think this thing is too idealistic, right? Let me tell you, it's not. It has a scientific basis. For example, like Lao Yu, who thought the case was small and he could go home for dinner, he would instinctively lower his guard and then he would fall into trouble."

"so……"

He suddenly sat up straight, patted the two of them, and pointed to the opposite side, saying, "Time to get off work."

Workers began to appear at the electronics factory across the street, called Hongsheng Technology Co., Ltd.

Shen Xin glanced at his watch; it was just past midnight.

There are quite a few workers, some of whom drive cars, but the vast majority ride electric scooters.

Soon, Shen Xin saw Gao Liyun.

After she went out, she looked around, probably looking for Shen Xin and the other two.

She knew that Shen Xin and the other two were lying in wait.

But finding nothing, he rode his electric scooter home.

"Walk."

Zhao Tianxing patted Shen Xin on the shoulder, signaling him to follow.

There weren't many cars on the road, and Gao Liyun rode quite fast, so Shen Xin followed at a distance.

Her route home is diagonally through Sanqiao Town, and the total journey takes about 20 minutes.

After leaving the factory, I rode for about two or three minutes when an electric scooter suddenly turned out from a side road and followed Gao Liyun.

Just as Gao Liyun had said, the headlights were not on.

The electric scooter was a pedal-style model and looked somewhat worn. The weather was already a bit cool late at night. He was wearing a black jacket and a baseball cap, so his face couldn't be seen from behind.

Ding Yuwei looked at Zhao Tianxing.

Zhao Tianxing squinted, scrutinizing the man intently, as if trying to determine if he might be hiding a weapon.

"At the next intersection, find the right moment, turn right, block him, and then just press him down."

There should be no problem with three people.

Shen Xin nodded, and at the opportune moment, at the intersection ahead, just as the man was about to cross the green light, he also turned right at the same time, cutting in front of him.

It's like turning right but not seeing him going straight.

He slammed on the brakes, nearly crashing into the car, and a startled face appeared under his hat.

He has a square face and eye bags, and looks to be around forty years old.

He cursed angrily and prepared to leave.

"What the hell are you cursing about?" Zhao Tianxing opened the car door, got out, and pointed at the middle-aged man, yelling at him.

He looks like a road rage driver.

Shen Xin and Ding Yuwei also got out of the car immediately.

However, Ding Yuwei was the one "persuading" Zhao Tianxing.

The middle-aged man laughed in anger and retorted, "Don't you guys watch where you're going? You almost hit me, and you still think you're right?"

"Damn it, watch your mouth!" Zhao Tianxing ignored Ding Yuwei's "blockade" and angrily pressed down on her.

Just then, Shen Xin also walked around the front of the car.

"What do you want to do..."

Before the middle-aged man could finish speaking, Shen Xin rushed forward and, together with Zhao Tianxing, lifted him off the electric scooter and pinned him to the ground.

It was done in one go, without any delay.

The middle-aged man didn't realize what was happening until his face was pressed against the ground. He yelled, "What are you doing?" and began to struggle.

"do not move."

Shen Xin deftly pulled out handcuffs and cuffed the middle-aged man. As soon as his hands were cuffed, Zhao Tianxing immediately searched the man's body to see if he was carrying any weapons.

"What... are you doing?" The middle-aged man was completely dumbfounded as soon as the handcuffs were put on.

"We are police officers. What are your names?"

Seeing Zhao Tianxing nod slightly, Shen Xin picked up the middle-aged man.

At this moment, Gao Liyun must have seen that the person following her had been stopped, and she deliberately turned back.

Upon seeing the middle-aged man clearly, Gao Liyun exclaimed in surprise, "Zhang Shiquan?"

She looked surprised.

"Do you know?"

Shen Xin was also stunned.

Gao Liyun nodded and said, "He is our factory's electrician."

Taken aback, Zhao Tianxing immediately asked, "Why were you following her?"

"track?"

Zhang Shiquan also looked bewildered and hurriedly explained, "I didn't follow her, I..."

He hesitated and didn't continue.

"Say!"

Zhao Tianxing shouted in a deep voice.

Zhang Shiquan glanced at Gao Liyun furtively before saying, "I was just worried that it would be dangerous for her to go home alone so late, so I followed her. I really didn't mean to stalk her."

"Is that all?"

This explanation seems reasonable, but Zhao Tianxing obviously doesn't completely believe it.

“Really, I swear, I am…” Zhang Shiquan stammered, unable to finish his sentence.

Seeing his reaction, Shen Xin had already guessed what was going on.

He cursed inwardly.

What era are we living in? People still use this kind of tactic when pursuing women, following them from a distance and not stopping until they get home safely. Shen Xin last saw this kind of scene in a period drama.

Gao Liyun was clearly bewildered as well, and said, "Officer, isn't this a mistake?"

Once someone has been arrested, it's impossible to release them just because of a few words.

To be relevant to Xiao Hong's murder case, there must be clear evidence proving that Zhang Shiquan is not involved in the case.

They took the person to the nearby Sanqiao Town Police Station, borrowed their space, and interrogated them.

Shen Xin had already anticipated that it was a futile effort.

Sure enough, Zhang Shiquan only came to Nanjiang in 15. When the case occurred in 11, he was thousands of miles away and had no connection with Nanjiang.

The reason he followed Gao Liyun was, as he said, that he had secretly fallen in love with her, but he was too timid. He felt that he was too afraid to pursue her directly because he was divorced, and he was worried about his safety when he went home alone at night. That's why he chose to follow her secretly.

It was a little after two in the morning.

Zhang Shiquan was given a lecture and then let go.

He kept turning back every three steps as he left.

Gao Liyun ignored him and kept apologizing to Shen Xin and the other two, saying she was sorry for wasting their time.

"Sister Gao, please don't say that. It's good that you're so vigilant. So if anything happens in the future, please contact us directly."

This was a false alarm, but what if the culprit was really alerted and tried to harm Gao Liyun?

This is all possible.

"Alright, let us take you back."

Shen Xin offered to take Gao Liyun home.

Actually, I wanted to visit Gao Liyun's family.

Gao Liyun's house is an old house built many years ago. Sanqiao is a township, so it is almost impossible for it to be demolished.

But having a courtyard makes it quite comfortable to live in.

She tiptoed around, afraid of waking the child and her mother-in-law.

The house was simply furnished, and Xiao Hong's portrait was displayed on the wall inside.

Shen Xin tried asking Xiao Hong some questions, as well as about the circumstances surrounding the incident.

There are no discrepancies between this and the written record.

When asked to recall if Xiao Hong had made any enemies when he was young, Gao Liyun said no.

Also normal.

Sun Zhao handled the case personally, so he must have investigated everything that could be investigated.

It was almost 3 a.m. when I left Gao Liyun's house.

Zhao Tianxing stretched and said to Ding Yuwei, "I told you, you can't just make empty promises. Look at the mess you've made."

Ding Yuwei remained silent.

Shen Xin sighed.

Looking back now, Zhang Shiquan's high-profile pursuit doesn't seem like the work of a premeditated murderer.

It's possible that I overlooked these details because I finally got a clue.

It seems that the most reliable approach now is to conduct thorough investigations and try to find the driver who passed through the scene of the crime.

Then we still need to issue a bounty.

How many followers does this account have?
I was busy with work and keeping watch, so I didn't have time to look at it at all.

Shen Xin took out his phone, logged into his account, and was surprised to find that the Paw Patrol account had more than 8 followers.

In just one day, it gained tens of thousands of followers.

DouDou's video has garnered over 10 million views and more than 200,000 likes.

Shen Xin gasped; this account had really gone viral.
