Animal Detective

Chapter 188 New Year’s Eve

It's not the weekend, and there aren't many visitors to the petting zoo.

Shen Xin saw Bubu from a distance.

He also saw Shen Xin, immediately abandoned the couple in front of him, ran over quickly, and then skillfully jumped into Shen Xin's arms.

It still had eight bars of goodwill above its head and was barking and chattering at Shen Xin.

They should be happy.

Shen Xin broke off a banana and put it in his hand.

Yang Daoqiang also came upon hearing the news.

"Officer Shen, has the case been solved?" he asked curiously.

There was quite a commotion on the mountain, especially during the identification process, because many police cars arrived since the prisoners were being held there.

It was broad daylight, and many hikers saw it.

Shen Xin nodded slightly and asked about Yang Huixia.

"Sister Xia, I just saw her." He turned his head to look for her.

When they found Yang Huixia, she was taking inventory in the warehouse.

Upon seeing Shen Xin, he hurriedly put down his things and came to greet him.

The last time I saw her was when she was identifying Zhu Guishen's belongings; it had been a while.

"Sister Yang, try to think more positively. At least the case has been solved." Shen Xin handed over the gift.

Yang Huixia declined the offer of fruit briefly, but eventually accepted it.

After expressing his gratitude, he said, "Officer Shen, you're right. At least the case is solved, and there's some closure."

She said that, but there was still some sadness in her eyes.

Shen Xin speculated that it was related to Zhu Yuchen.

Although the truth has come out, the child has been nagged by Gou Jinlan too much, and he is at the age of rebellion, so the relationship between the mother and son is unlikely to improve much.

But ultimately, it's an unbreakable blood relationship; the child should be able to understand when they grow up.

"By the way, Officer Shen, my husband's insurance has been approved."

Yang Huixia's eyes lit up again.

After finding Zhu Guishen's body, she successfully obtained his death certificate.

The insurance company then has no reason to refuse to pay out.

Yang Huixia said, "They said they could make up the money back quickly. I originally wanted to buy the farm back, but the owner won't sell it."

She looked at the farm in front of her and stayed there. It was on this farm that the couple had so many wonderful memories.

Even arguing.

Life is a mix of sweet, sour, bitter, and spicy experiences; that's just how it is.

Shen Xin joked, "Then I'll just keep working for him and earning his money."

Anyway, there was an agreement when it was sold that as long as Yang Huixia didn't resign, she could work until the amusement park went bankrupt.

Yang Huixia laughed and shook her head, saying, "Forget it, I've thought about it too. I'm not going to buy it. I'm going to use this money to buy a house in Mudan Garden. The school district there is good, so Chenchen can go to school there."

As she spoke, she sighed, "I always dreamed of buying a house there, but I never imagined that one day, I would be able to buy a house, but I would be gone."

Shen Xin remained silent, and could only say, "Sister Yang, everything will get better and better."

Yang Huixia nodded and waved to Bubu at her feet.

Bubu affectionately jumped onto her.

"Officer Shen, thank you."

She smiled and thanked him again.

Shen Xin nodded, and without lingering any longer, took his leave.

After getting into the car, Shen Xin composed himself and prepared to return to the station.

At this time, the phone vibrated.

It was a message from Zhang Qian, asking if she would be working overtime tonight, as she wanted to go to the city center with Shen Xin to participate in the New Year's countdown event.

"What do you think?"

Shen Xin replied with a message.

The busier the police are during holidays.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xin sent another message: "But if you go, we should be able to meet. I have to go to the city center tonight to provide support."

There's a pretty big New Year's Eve event in the city center tonight.

For such large-scale events, security work cannot be neglected.

The branch office also needs to send people to provide support.

It wasn't originally Shen Xin's turn, but he decided to go at the last minute.

Take the black panther with you.

Police dogs, after all, have to patrol.

There's also Bean Tiger Stripe.

Their mission is bomb disposal.

This situation should be rare, but it's something we must be wary of.

Then there's the issue of preventing children from getting lost. There will be countless people at the scene, and there will definitely be careless parents.

All of this would have been possible without the help of police dogs.

As for the three police dogs at the branch office, they were all trained by Shen Xin himself. The leaders would only feel at ease if Shen Xin went with them.

"Okay, I'll contact you then."

Zhang Qian replied to the message.

That night, New Year's Eve celebrations will be held in several places, including Nanzhu, Lishan Ancient Street, the New District, the city center, and Nanjiang.

The largest event is located in the city center, and it also includes a balloon release activity.

The location is Xingning Square.

At 8 p.m., traffic restrictions were implemented on two streets surrounding the event location.

The number of people is also increasing.

Ding Yuwei didn't come; she was on duty at the branch office.

Shen Xin came with Feng Kaiwei.

He was dressed in full-on special forces uniform, looking imposing and handsome.

Of course, Shen Xin is no less impressive.

Holding a tall black panther by the hand, he looked incredibly powerful and imposing.

Along the way, many people took photos.

Shen Xin is currently waiting at Exit C of the Zhongjie Road subway station for Zhang Qian to arrive.

Instead of waiting for Zhang Qian, he ran into an acquaintance.

Li Jiahui.

She was walking a Rottweiler with a colleague as they emerged from the subway station with the flow of people, and she spotted Shen Xin immediately.

"Shen Xin!"

She immediately came over to greet her.

"You're here too," Shen Xin greeted, then looked at the Rottweiler in front of him.

"Is this your main police dog? What's its name?"

Each handler has a primary police dog they train.

I saw Li Jiahui walking a Springer Spaniel before, also known as Qiuqiu, which probably isn't her main pet.

"Call him Simba."

Li Jiahui gave an introduction and then greeted Black Panther.

"Simba, come here."

Shen Xin greeted Ronaldo and then pulled out some beef strips to tempt him.

As expected, talent is always a powerful asset.

Simba, who had been looking straight ahead, immediately turned to look at Li Jiahui.

"Eat up, you glutton." Li Jiahui was both amused and exasperated.

When the topic turned to cats, she and Shen Xin discussed their experiences raising cats.

Da Mei gave birth to three.

Shen Xin gave one to Zhang Qian and another to Ding Yuwei, leaving only the last short-tailed tabby.

As my pregnancy progresses, I'm constantly moving around, which Da Mei finds quite annoying.

After the gunfight, Shen Xin talked more with Li Jiahui. She was surprised to learn that Shen Xin had a short-tailed Qilin cat, so she took the initiative to ask if she could adopt it.

Shen Xin couldn't get it.

So now Li Jiahui has taken this Qilin tabby cat to raise and named it Qixi.

"You don't need to bother with homemade cat food. Like me, sometimes Da Mei and Eba eat my leftovers and they're perfectly fine."

"But if you really want to do it, I'll recommend a friend to you later; he has experience."

It refers to Zhang Ning.

This guy is a total cat lover; he often contacts Shen Xin and shows off his pair of Ragdoll cats.

Li Jiahui nodded and added, "By the way, Shen Xin, it's almost the end of the year, and our base is preparing to breed the next batch of police dogs, which means selecting breeding dogs."

"Are you free later? I know you're a natural-born druid. Could you come over and help us pick out which dogs are more friendly?"

When selecting police dogs, a friendly personality is a very important criterion.

"Who is born a druid?"

Shen Xin glared at her irritably and said, "Fine, send me a message later."

This is too easy for me. Just choose the kind of person whose "favorability" icon appears above their head as soon as we meet. You can't go wrong with that; they'll be very friendly.

As the two were chatting, Zhang Qian, wearing a woolen trench coat and carrying a bag slung across her shoulder, arrived.

Then he immediately spotted Li Jiahui next to Shen Xin.

It's a good thing we didn't see Ding Yuwei.

But who is this Li Jiahui?

Zhang Qian frowned slightly, her gaze falling on the police uniform held up by Li Jiahui. She then silently looked down at it and suddenly felt as if she were a head shorter.
