Animal Detective

Chapter 172 Collapse
Beside the crocodile pool.

Manager Yang Daoqiang lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Officer, I checked the surveillance footage from last night this morning, and Yang Huixia is perfectly normal."

"Look, I even recorded her activity schedule, what time she patrolled, and what time she went to sleep."

As he spoke, he took out a small notebook, opened it, and showed it to Shen Xin.

Shen Xin felt a wave of embarrassment. He quickly glanced at what Yang had written down and hurriedly said, "Manager Yang, you don't need to do this. We're just conducting a normal investigation."

This is like something out of an underground intelligence operation.

The key issue is that he is the manager, and Yang Huixia is an employee. This situation could potentially affect Yang Huixia's future work.

How can we maintain good relationships with colleagues?
"I understand, I understand." Yang Daoqiang gave a knowing look, then lowered his voice and said, "Officers, are you here to investigate her husband's disappearance?"

“I asked our boss, and he said that Yang Huixia’s husband has mysteriously disappeared for two years.”

He held up two fingers and said with a heavy heart, "Then she must be dead. Maybe she killed her."

"Don't overthink it, nothing of the sort happened."

Shen Xin hurriedly said that the case had not been investigated yet.

"I understand, I understand." Yang Daoqiang still had an "I understand" expression, and made a zipping motion with his mouth.

Then, after less than five seconds of silence, someone said, "Officer, could she have killed her husband, dismembered him, and fed the body to the crocodiles?"

He shuddered and said, "Otherwise, why are you keeping staring at these two crocodiles?"

Shen Xin silently rolled his eyes.

Bro, you have such a vivid imagination, why don't you come and do it?

"That's not true. We'll just conduct a normal investigation." Shen Xin patted him on the shoulder.

"I see."

Yang Daoqiang said hurriedly.

What do you know!

Shen Xin was both amused and exasperated. After the zookeeper, Fu Jinbiao, brought over a bucket of frozen chicken carcasses, he climbed over the fence and jumped into the crocodile pool.

I told Yang Daoqiang that I might come often and feed their animals for free.

He didn't ask why, he just cooperated fully.

I feel like this guy has a strong urge to solve cases.

As instructed by Fu Jinbiao, Shen Xin tapped the cement ground with a wooden stick.

Hearing the noise, the two crocodiles that were hiding in the water immediately surfaced.

The female crocodile still has two bars of goodwill above her head.

Shen Xin tapped the wooden stick and kept backing away, attracting the two crocodiles to crawl out of the pool before he began to feed them.

All I can say is that frozen chicken frames are all bones and don't really keep you full. I fed them yesterday, but the two crocodiles are hungry again today. The female crocodile is a bit greedy and keeps crawling towards Shen Xin.

Shen Xin suppressed his fear and let her come closer.

Two levels of favorability should be no problem.

Sure enough, even when the distance was only half a meter, she simply opened her mouth and waited to be fed.

The other male crocodile watched from a distance.

Shen Xin first tossed him one, then picked up another and, with great courage, put it into the female crocodile's mouth.

She swallowed it whole.

Shen Xin made a firm decision, slowly reached out, and prepared to pat the crocodile's snout.

So what if it's a crocodile? My favorability rating is still high, I'll still pet it without hesitation.

Just as his hand was about to touch her nose, she suddenly closed her mouth.

Shen Xin reflexively withdrew his hand and ran away in fright.

I ran to the edge of the pool, turned around, and saw that the female crocodile had simply closed her mouth and made no further move.

Above the pool, Yang Daoqiang and Fu Jinbiao stood with tense faces, looking uncomfortable.

Shen Xin had a headache.

This thing is really different from cats and dogs.

Even if cats and dogs go berserk, humans can handle it.

But when a crocodile goes berserk, it might bite your arm and give you a fatal roll, and that arm will be gone.

Shen Xin dared not test the waters any further and obediently fed a bucket of frozen chicken frames to the two crocodiles.

The male wasn't full yet.

Only after another bucket was it considered finished.

Shen Xin noticed that the female crocodile's favorability rating had increased by one level.

Prices rise quickly at the beginning.

An icon also appeared on the male crocodile's side.

There has been progress, but it's been a bit slow.

If they continue training like this, they might not even reach the second stage in a month.

Because we can't interact with them like cats, dogs, or parrots.

The risk is too great.

The Bruna preservative fiber pulling method also doesn't seem to work.

This couple lives together every day, so there's no need for me to do anything extra.

Shen Xin turned over the crocodile pool; that's how the crocodiles are today.

Then they went to feed other animals, like miniature horses.

The park has a 6-year-old Shetland pony, also known as a Shetland miniature pony.

Horses are intelligent animals that are close to humans and have feelings for them.

Short-legged horses are also intelligent and quick-witted; it is said that some people even keep them as pets.

This pony is yellow and white with an exceptionally long mane.

According to Yang Daoqiang, he is a long-time employee of the park and enjoys interacting with children.

The park also offers rides and laps.

This thing is much friendlier than a crocodile. Shen Xin entered the horse pen and approached the short-legged horse named Stone.

It was a stallion, and it immediately noticed Shen Xin, taking the initiative to come closer and sniff Shen Xin's trousers.

Shen Xin handed him a carrot, and immediately, a favorability icon appeared above his head.

This is the true innate sacred body of a close relative.

It's a pity he has short legs. If he were a tall, strong horse, riding him around twice would probably quickly increase his favorability.

Just then, an employee ran over quickly and told Yang Daoqiang that Yang Huixia was arguing with tourists.

Shen Xin went along to investigate.

There weren't many tourists today, but the park isn't very big either, so when someone started arguing, everyone gathered around.

Yang Huixia got into an argument with a couple who had a son.

When they arrived, the child's mother was angrily shouting that she was going to call the police.

Yang Daoqiang immediately turned to look at Shen Xin.

The police are here.

He's already relying on himself, so what else can Shen Xin do?

Upon seeing the monkey clinging to Yang Huixia's leg, Shen Xin guessed what had happened. He walked over, stopped the child's mother, and identified himself.

"Are you a policeman?"

She looked at Shen Xin suspiciously, her gaze settling on his rubber shoes.

"of course."

Shen Xinliang showed his identification.

The child's mother was still somewhat skeptical, but she couldn't care less. She pulled her son in front of her, pointed at his arm, and said, "Officer, look what this monkey did to my child. He's bleeding. What if he gets a scar?"

Shen Xin glanced at it.

There are indeed two marks, slightly bleeding, and the scarring is quite serious.

The child was chubby and had a nonchalant expression.

"And her."

The child's mother pointed at Yang Huixia and shouted, "She actually said it had nothing to do with her. My son kicked this damn monkey first, and that's how he got arrested. My son is so well-behaved, how could he kick a monkey?"

"And what was her attitude like? My son was the one who got hurt, and she didn't even apologize."

Yang Huixia retorted, "I apologized."

"Is that what you call an apology? You've got a deadpan expression on your face. Who are you trying to scare?" the child's mother immediately retorted.

"All right!"

Shen Xin interrupted her, pointing to the surveillance camera not far away, and said, "Madam, there are surveillance cameras in the park. If you have any questions, you can watch the footage. Then, if the child is injured, we'll take him to the hospital."

"If you're still not satisfied, you can negotiate with the kindergarten. Look, there are so many people watching, let's take care of the children first."

Yang Daoqiang immediately stepped forward and said that there was a medical room in the park.

The child's father immediately tried to persuade his wife.

She had just given up and was about to leave when she suddenly pointed at Yang Huixia and yelled, "You're a mother too, how do you usually educate your child? Do you teach him to shirk responsibility?"

"do not talk."

Her husband quickly stopped her.

Yang Huixia's expression suddenly changed drastically, and she pointed at her and yelled, "Say that again, you fucking bastard!"

Her colleagues quickly pulled her away.

The child's mother was taken aback and immediately retorted, "Watch your mouth! And am I wrong? Look at yourself! It's clearly your fault, but you still have the nerve to deny it. What good will your child learn from you?"

"Madam, please calm down."

Shen Xin immediately stepped in the middle and reprimanded him.

It's over!
Yang Huixia, who was being held back by her colleague, pointed at the other person, her lips trembling with anger.

She suddenly screamed.

Then he squatted on the ground, covered his head, and screamed one after another, as if he wanted to vent all the pent-up frustration and resentment in his heart.

Everyone around was shocked.

After calling out a few times, Yang Huixia suddenly looked up, her eyes already filled with tears. She pointed at Shen Xin and shouted, "I've said it a hundred times, a hundred times! What else do you want?!"

"I didn't kill him. He's my husband, I love him, why would I kill him!"

Why don't you believe me?

She stared intently at Shen Xin and questioned him loudly.

Shen Xin was stunned, staring at the emotionally distraught Yang Huixia, speechless for a long time.
