Animal Detective

Chapter 177 Hijacking
A small stage in the petting zoo.

"Bubu, come here."

Shen Xin held the iron ring horizontally, and Bu Bu leaped into the air, performing a backflip to precisely pass through the iron ring.

A group of children were lying on the edge of the stage.

Seeing Bubu's wonderful performance, everyone started to applaud.

"Great!"

"Mommy, the monkey is amazing!"

"Uncle, let it have one more."

"Uncle, does he know anything else?"

Noisy.

"Good boy, Bubu!"

Shen Xin praised her and popped a grape into Bubu's mouth as a reward.

He jumped and danced with excitement, grabbed a small bicycle on the stage, pushed it with both hands, and jumped onto it, then started circling around the stage.

There was another round of applause.

In the final segment, Shen Xin invited a child to come on stage and interact with Bubu.

Bubu held her hand and spun around, jumping and hopping, squealing excitedly.

"Shen Xin, I recorded everything for you."

After the children dispersed, Zhao Tianxing squeezed in, waved his phone, and clicked his tongue, saying, "A dignified criminal police officer, instead of catching thieves, he's out performing monkey shows, and the best part is he's paid to perform monkey shows."

"Get lost."

Shen Xin laughed and scolded, "This is my job too."

These past two days, Shen Xin has been focusing his efforts on cultivating a good relationship with Bubu.

I learned from Yang Huixia that Bubu's favorite thing was to practice those monkey tricks with Zhu Guishen, and the more audience members there were and the more applause he received, the more excited he became.

A typical performative monkey personality.

Shen Xin would definitely cater to her preferences and take advantage of the stage to let Bu Bu have some fun.

Yang Huixia has never trained Bubu, and with Zhu Guishen missing, Bubu is now just a feeding object at the petting zoo.

Shen Xin gave him a little practice, and to his surprise, he still had the kung fu skills. He even rode a small bicycle quite well.

That's why we specially added a performance.

Yang Daoqiang welcomed it with open arms.

And the favorability rating increased rapidly, reaching eight bars in just three days.

Shen Xinzhen felt that the more she used her abilities, the stronger she became, and the faster she could gain favor with others.

"By the way, is there any news from the mountain?"

Shen Xin carried Bubu to find Yang Huixia, asking questions as they went.

The search for the body on the mountain has been going on for three days, but nothing has been found yet.

DouDou was also mobilized, and Du Xinkai used some human bones for special training, but it still had no effect.

It's been too long, and we don't know how deeply the other party has buried Zhu Gui.

The young people's search also yielded no results.

It might be related to the fact that the forensic sketch was too rough. Now we are expanding the scope and visiting other street police stations and neighborhood committees to inquire.

In short, everyone on the mountain was busy.

"Don't even mention it, look at my hands, I've been swinging a steel chisel every day, they're all blistered." Zhao Tianxing showed off his hands.

"Hard."

Shen Xin expressed his condolences.

Zhao Tianxing teased Bubu and said, "Knowing how hard we've worked, you should hurry up and take him for a walk in the mountains. If we find something, we'll be free."

If the search area is not found within 100 meters, the search area will be expanded to 200 meters, 300 meters, until it is completely lost.

Shen Xin is also anxious.

Moreover, to be honest, reaching 8 bars of affection in three days is already quite fast.

It may also be related to the fact that monkeys are more human-like.

Finding Yang Huixia, who was cleaning the sheepfold, Shen Xin handed Bubu to her and prepared to leave work.

Yang Huixia glanced at Bubu and suddenly sighed, "Speaking of which, back then, Old Zhu put in so much effort but still couldn't train Bubu. On the contrary, you've only been training for a few days."

She learned a lot of amazing skills in just a few days, such as going through hoops and walking on stilts.

"Bubu is very smart."

Shen Xin gave a vague answer.

While intelligence is important, goodwill plays a much larger role.

Yang Huixia nodded, rubbed Bubu's head, and suddenly looked a little dazed.

I guess seeing this object is bringing back memories of someone.

They took a car back to the branch office.

Eating in the cafeteria.

"It's all typed up for you."

Shen Xin waved to Ding Yuwei, who had just texted him saying she would be back soon.

She had been running around all day and was starving. She sat down and wolfed down her food without a care for her image.

"Have you found anything?" Shen Xin asked casually.

Ding Yuwei shook her head, straightened her neck and swallowed the food in her mouth, then said, "We have already sent out notices for assistance to all police stations in the city, so the scope of the investigation is already very large."

"Since there's no feedback yet, we speculate that he might genuinely have no criminal record, or that he moved away from Nanjiang after the incident, which is also possible."

Shen Xin nodded.

This is indeed a possibility.

If you kill someone, you definitely have to run away.

The main problem is that the composite sketch is too crude.

Wang Linhong was only glimpsed briefly two years ago, so it's hard to imagine her leaving a lasting impression.

So, like searching for a corpse, it was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. After finishing his meal, Shen Xin went home from get off work.

Sitting in the car, Shen Xin wondered if he should go to the petting zoo again.

It's nighttime now, and considering the possible time of Zhu Guishen's murder, it's a good opportunity for Bubu to reenact the scene.

Moreover, 8 points of favorability is honestly quite high, and Bubu should be able to clearly understand his intentions.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

Let's do it again tomorrow.

The next day, Shen Xin and the others set off early as usual.

When I arrived at the petting zoo, the staff had already started to arrive.

"Where's Sister Yang?" Shen Xin asked, pulling aside an employee.

When he saw Bubu, he felt like she was family and threw himself into Shen Xin's arms, unwilling to let go.

But Yang Huixia was not seen.

"It seems he took leave, saying he was going to see the child."

Today is Saturday, and students have a holiday.

Shen Xin didn't think much of it and continued playing with Bubu.

"Manager Yang, I'll take Bubu up the mountain for a walk."

Seeing that there weren't many tourists in the morning, Shen Xin made a request.

I think it's worth a try.

Searching like this up in the mountains isn't going to work.

Yang Daoqiang did not refuse. He knew that Bubu was very wild and often went for walks in the mountains.

Shen Xin took Bubu up the mountain.

Once in the mountains and forests, he immediately became wild, leaping up to the treetops in no time and nimbly weaving between the branches.

"Bubu, it's time to come home for dinner!"

After walking along a mountain path for a while, Shen Xin could no longer see any monkeys, so he called out a few times.

Before long, Bubu appeared on top of Shen Xin's head, nimbly climbed down the tree, and came to Shen Xin.

He tilted his head and looked at Shen Xin.

"good."

Shen Xin took out a banana and handed it to him.

After he finished eating, I picked him up and said, "You good-for-nothing, you tore my clothes again."

As he spoke, he vigorously rubbed Bubu's head.

He was clearly taken aback, his dark eyes revealing a look of confusion.

Shen Xin secretly thought there was hope.

In the past few days, Shen Xin has been stationed at the petting zoo and has had many conversations with Yang Huixia, asking about the details of Zhu Guishen and Bubu's interaction.

For example, Zhu Guishen often took Bubu up the mountain to play. When they had played enough, he would call out, "Let's go home for dinner."

As long as Bubu hears, he will immediately rush back no matter how far he has run.

When Bubu was little, she clung to Zhu Guishen a lot, often climbing all over him and tearing his clothes.

He would laugh and scold her as a money-losing wretch, then pick her up and play with her for a while.

From Yang Huixia's description, it can be inferred that Zhu Yuchen has to live at his grandfather's house because he needs to go to school, and the couple are busy with farm work and cannot spend time with their child every day.

Zhu Guishen truly raised Bubu as if she were his own child.

Now that the level of goodwill is high enough, Shen Xin tries to use these details of their interactions to evoke Bu Bu's memories of Zhu Guishen.

It seems to be effective.

He jumped off Shen Xin's arms and onto the ground, shouting and bouncing.

It feels like it's trying to express something.

Unfortunately, my favorability rating isn't high enough, so I can't hear your true feelings.

Shen Xin squatted down, took out a photo of Zhu Guishen, pointed to the photo and asked Bubu if she remembered this person.

Bubu stared at the photo for a moment, then jumped up and down, making a whimpering sound.

It seems to have remembered.

After all, Zhu Guishen had raised him from a young age, taking care of his every need.

"Bubu, take me to him."

Shen Xin reached out his hand to Bubu.

Bubu obediently took Shen Xin's hand and then walked down the mountain.

After taking a few steps, Shen Xin realized what was happening.

“No.” Shen Xin stopped, shook his head at Bubu, and waved the photo again, saying, “He’s not there, he’s somewhere else.”

Bubu tilted her head and tugged at Shen Xinshou.

Perhaps in his memory, Zhu Guishen was always waiting for him at the farm down the mountain.

Shen Xin tried guiding him several more times, but it still didn't work.

I don't know if I just didn't remember, or if I didn't witness the incident at the time.

Just then, the phone rang.

It was a call from Chen Chao.

"Shen Xin, there's an emergency. Yang Huixia has taken her son hostage and is threatening to commit suicide. Where are you now? We need to get to the scene right away."

"Kidnapping?"

Shen Xin was startled.

real or fake.

After getting to know him, Shen Xinzhen felt that Zhu Yuchen was Yang Huixia's only reason to live in this world.

Even though Zhu Yuchen didn't understand her, she still loved her son with all her heart.

Therefore, Shen Xin couldn't understand why Yang Huixia, as a mother, would kidnap her own son.
