Animal Detective

Chapter 135 Two Dogs

Shen Xin turned his head to the side, and the husky in the cage followed suit.

If it moves to the left, it will also move to the left.

It's like looking in the mirror.

With its intelligent and clever little eyes, it's definitely a purebred husky.

And very quickly, a favorability icon appeared above its head.

It is said that this thing is very friendly to people; it is a magical creature that can even lead a thief on a tour of the house if he enters.

The problem is, it's perfectly normal and alive.

It does nothing to explain Wang Lei's death.

"Station Chief Li, may I borrow this dog for a few days?" Shen Xin wanted to take the dog back and study it.

If all else fails, try the same approach used in the Liu Laibin case: build up goodwill and read his thoughts.

Station Master Li immediately said, "Why borrow it? If you like it, just take it with you. This dog is quite good; look at its appearance, it should be purebred."

He was very enthusiastic, saying that he would keep it to find someone to adopt it.

Shen Xin thought it was a good idea.

So on the way back, we had this incredibly lively husky with us.

Shen Xin even took a detour to a pet hospital to have its antibodies tested.

Actually, there's no need to test it.

It is impossible for a dog to have insufficient antibodies, be infected with the rabies virus, and remain healthy during the incubation period.

Because during its incubation period, it is not infectious at all.

Sure enough, the antibody test showed a high level.

When they returned to the Criminal Investigation Brigade, they happened to run into Ding Yuwei, who was seeing Wang Lei's parents off.

"Officer Shen."

Upon seeing Shen Xin, the two who were about to leave immediately lit up and quickly went to greet him.

Wang Lei's father, Wang Wanming, asked anxiously, "I heard from Officer Ding that you went out to investigate. Have you gotten any results?"

The two men were dressed plainly and were honest, unassuming people.

Wang Lei's mother, Lin Yingzhen, is not tall and appears cautious when she stands there. Now, as soon as she starts speaking, her eyes begin to redden.

Wang Lei is an only child.

After his death, the whole family collapsed. His grandmother was so grief-stricken that she was hospitalized.

"Sorry, there are no results yet."

Meeting the expectant gazes of the couple, Shen Xin felt a little ashamed.

The key.

The couple initially had only doubts about their son's death, and called the police to find out how he was bitten by the venomous dog.

However, when Shen Xin took over the investigation, it gave the couple hope, and they became convinced that there was something wrong with their son's death.

Now Shen Xin is worried about another possibility: what if, after an investigation, it is confirmed that Wang Lei died unexpectedly? How would the elderly couple accept that reality?

"It's alright, you can continue your investigation, we can wait." Wang Wanming sniffed and left with his wife.

Ding Yuwei stepped forward, sighed, and suddenly noticed the husky at Shen Xin's feet.

"Hey, is this Wang Lei's dog? Why did you bring it back?" Ding Yuwei asked curiously.

Shen Xin couldn't very well say that he was trying to cultivate a good relationship with it and listen to its thoughts later; he simply said that he would bring it back to study it.

I took it back to the main office.

It's quite well-behaved and very sociable, wandering around here and there, sniffing around without any awkwardness.

Her colleagues in the office were used to it.

Ding Yuwei immediately took out some delicious beef strips for it to eat.

This guy must have been eating really bad food at the shelter, and suddenly he got to eat something good. He was so moved that he whimpered and snuggled into Ding Yuwei's arms.

Shen Xin ignored it, pondering what to do next.

Neither case has made any progress.

Xiao Hong has issued a reward, but there is still no reliable information.

After lunch, Zhao Tianxing returned.

"To be honest, I'm increasingly convinced that there's something wrong with Zhang Qingpeng."

As Zhao Tianxing spoke, he sat down, then was startled by the husky that suddenly approached him. He almost jumped off his chair and asked, still shaken, where the silly dog ​​came from.

Upon hearing that it was Wang Lei's dog, his expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly grabbed the folder and pushed it out.

"It's okay, I tested it for antibodies, and it's fine, no infection." Shen Xin knew what he was afraid of.

"You mind that too?" Zhao Tianxing scolded the husky a few times, gesturing for it to move away.

Ding Yuwei called it over and said, "Brother Xing, why are you yelling at it? This dog is so well-behaved. For a husky, being obedient and not jumping around and destroying things is its greatest advantage."

Zhao Tianxing waved his hand, politely declining.

Shen Xin asked him what he meant by what he had just said.

Zhao Tianxing said, "It's Zhang Qingpeng. I contacted him during lunch to ask when he was coming back to Nanjiang, but the guy said he had something come up at the last minute. It was an old classmate's wedding, and he couldn't refuse, so he went to Fushan to attend the wedding."

"They're obviously hiding from us; they have something to hide."

Shen Xin frowned.

Indeed, Zhang Qingpeng's reaction was not quite right.

He left Nanjiang in a panic, saying that his mother was sick and he needed to take care of her, which was a reasonable excuse.

But when I contacted them again, they said they were coming back, but when I asked them at the last minute, they said they hadn't been able to buy a high-speed rail ticket.

I'll ask again in a day; I can't get through on the phone anymore.

After we finally got through, they said his mother was going for a follow-up check-up, so we'd have to wait another two days.

This delay has dragged on until November, more than a week ago.

They're still making excuses, which, as Zhao Tianxing said, seems a bit like they're trying to evade investigation.

We're not afraid he'll escape.

The problem is that it is still unclear how Wang Lei died.

Once this problem is solved, things will be much easier.

I received several more phone calls in the afternoon about the Xiao Hong case, but they were all useless information.

Taking advantage of the time, Shen Xin went back and reviewed Wang Lei's death again.

There are really a lot of suspicious points.

I don't know where I got the rabies virus.

Why not get a rabies vaccine?

And those videos he voluntarily deleted from his computer.

Just then, Ding Yuwei on the other side suddenly waved to him.

"Shen Xin, I feel something's strange," she said, frowning.

Shen Xin moved his chair next to her and asked what was strange.

Ding Yuwei pointed to the computer screen.

She was looking at the video footage on Wang Lei's computer, and then pointed to one of the clips and said, "Look at the text of this clip."

Shen Xin leaned closer to take a look.

Wang Lei can write scripts for short videos.

The text then reads, "Who says my husky isn't authentic? Look, it can destroy the house too."

“你看这个文案创建的时间，是10月2号。”丁雨薇点开文档信息，显示创建时间是10月2号，最后一次修改是10月4号。

Ding Yuwei continued, "I watched all of his video footage from this month and last month. When I saw this script, I remembered that from the beginning, none of the footage he filmed about huskies showed huskies destroying houses."

"But look at this footage."

She clicked on a clip taken on October 2nd.

Then the husky jumped onto the sofa and started scratching at it.

There's more later, including content about a husky tearing up bed sheets and chewing on table legs.

"After that, he created two more episodes with the same content. Look at this copy."

The content is that after I disciplined my husky, he indeed behaved himself and stopped destroying the house.

This is the copy for number 5.

"There's more to come, look at the footage from number 8."

The accompanying text reads, "This incorrigible dog has started destroying the house again."

Then on the 11th, they made the same video about destroying the house, saying they had finally trained the little husky and easily controlled it.

"The most important thing is the video. Look at these two videos. Although they are both very lively, one is wild and unrestrained, jumping around, while the other video seems much more well-behaved."

Ding Yuwei pondered for a moment and said, "It feels like two dogs."

As soon as she said this, she suddenly looked up.

Their eyes met, and Shen Xin's mind went blank for a moment, as if struck by lightning. Suddenly, a daring idea popped into his head.

“You’re not thinking…” Shen Xin asked.

Before she could finish speaking, Ding Yuwei was already nodding repeatedly and said urgently, "Could there be another dog?"
