Animal Detective

Chapter 190 This approach is too unconventional
For the colleagues patrolling the site, today's New Year's Eve event was a great success.

Two children were lost, and they were found immediately.

Only one person lost their phone.

There are occasional minor squabbles and arguments, but they all keep them within the scope of insulting each other's families.

This is the best outcome.

zero point.

The countdown has begun on the giant curtain wall light show on the exterior of the Zhongteng Building opposite Xingning Square.

Shen Xin was also in the crowd, listening to everyone around him shouting together.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

As the number reached zero, amidst cheers, countless balloons rose from every corner of the square.

Under the dazzling, shimmering lights, it was a dreamlike sight.

Shen Xin's arm tightened.

But Zhang Qian, on his left, excitedly grabbed his arm.

Then I sensed someone approaching from my right.

Turning my head, I saw Li Jiahui.

In the distance, at the fireworks display point in the sunken plaza, fireworks shot into the sky, their shimmering light casting shadows on Li Jiahui's face.

She was turning her head, staring intently at him.

Their eyes met, they smiled faintly, and neither looked away.

"Shen Xin, Happy New Year!"

Zhang Qian shouted excitedly.

Shen Xin snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "Happy New Year."

After saying that, he turned to Li Jiahui and said, "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Li Jiahui still wore an elegant smile.

After handing over my shift, I went out for a late-night snack with Zhang Qian, and it was quite late when I got home.

However, I still had to go to work on time the next day.

As soon as I entered, I saw Jiang Wengang leading his men out in a hurry.

As he walked out the door, he turned back and shouted to Shen Xin, saying that he would need DouDou later.

It seems there's another case.

When he arrived at the office and clocked in with Lao Zhou, he grabbed Shen Xin and said that they were about to be evaluated as outstanding individuals.

"It's just a rumor, I can't be sure, but it seems like your name is on it."

Zhou Zhongyi said mysteriously.

He wasn't jealous; Shen Xin's case-solving abilities were undeniable.

"Oh?"

Shen Xin's eyes lit up.

But then I thought about it again. I already have a third-class merit award, and I also applied for a second-class merit award for Ning Shan's case, which is waiting for approval from the municipal bureau.

So what does being an advanced individual even mean?

The next day, Li Jiahui actually contacted him.

The appointment was for Saturday.

Shen Xin spoke to Sun Zhao about it.

“Don’t just do the work for others. If you find a good one, secretly keep her and train her yourself. Old Jiang is always borrowing Dou Dou, making it seem like Dou Dou is being trained by them.”

Sun Zhao pulled Shen Xin aside and gave her a word of advice.

Tiger Stripe was never of any use, so only Bean was left, who was often borrowed by Jiang Wengang.

Shen Xin thought to himself that Dou Dou was originally trained for the anti-drug squad.

However, Sun Zhao is right. You can't turn your back on others. If you encounter a good opportunity, why not keep it for yourself?

After making a clear hand gesture, Shen Xin drove to the police dog base.

The police dog base in Nanjiang is located in the Nanzhu area of ​​the new district.

The area around Lihu Lake is all mountains, and the police dog base is located near the film and television base, at the foot of a corner of Lishan Mountain.

It's a huge area; it took more than half an hour to drive there.

However, taking the expressway is still quite convenient.

When she arrived, Li Jiahui was waiting for her outside the door.

To Shen Xin's surprise, Zhang Qian was also there.

"How did you come."

"Jia Hui invited me here."

Zhang Qian casually grabbed Li Jiahui's arm.

Li Jiahui's smile seemed somewhat unnatural.

Driving into the internal parking lot, Shen Xin got out of the car and noticed a man and a woman unloading flight cases from a Ford Transit vehicle not far away.

The police dog base gets its dogs from two sources: one part comes from its own breeding, and the other part is purchased from partner kennels.

Many kennels are happy to send their dogs to police dog bases.

Firstly, the purchase prices at police dog bases are not cheap, and secondly, it's also a form of publicity. Having your own bred dogs selected by a police dog base sounds incredibly impressive.

The problem is that this Ford Transit has Ningshan license plates.

While some kennels sell their dogs nationwide, it's unlikely that the Nanjiang Police Dog Base would cooperate with a kennel in Ningshan.

Before anyone could ask, Li Jiahui noticed Shen Xin's gaze and explained, "This selection isn't just for Nanjiang, but also for Ningshan; it's a joint selection."

"Ning Shan?"

Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat. It must be because he went to Ningshan to handle a case last time, and that Ningshan knew about his abilities.

But it doesn't matter, the more dogs the better, I can pick two good ones for the branch office myself.

Li Jiahui led the two on a brief tour of the police dog base.

The leaders here also arrived one after another.

Meng Fuqiang, director of the Ningshan City Police Dog Base.

He was at the same rank as Tang Changhong, both holding high-level positions, specifically deputy director level.

Of course, I still can't wear a white shirt.

He was also in his forties, a little shorter, with thinning hair, and wearing square-framed glasses. The first thing he said upon meeting was that he had long heard of Shen Xin's great name.

He guessed that Lin Weining had told him that he knew about his use of cats for reconnaissance.

After exchanging pleasantries, Meng Fuqiang curiously inquired about Shen Xin's use of stray dogs to train police dogs.

There is a police dog research institute in Ningshan, which is the only research institute in the country engaged in the research of police dog training technology.

Meng Fuqiang also serves as a professor and senior researcher there, so he was extremely curious when he heard that stray dogs could be trained as police dogs.

"This one……"

Shen Xin's mind raced, searching for a plausible explanation.

"Director Meng, I think the key is intelligence. Many stray dogs are actually very smart and can understand human speech and meaning."

"I think there are differences in the sense of smell among police dogs, but the difference isn't that big. Intelligence and comprehension are more important."

"As long as we can make the dog understand what we want it to do, and then increase its obedience, it should be able to complete the corresponding task."

Shen Xin was spouting nonsense with a straight face, while Meng Fuqiang kept nodding in agreement.

Then they discussed it with Tang Changhong.

Their training of police dogs focuses primarily on conditioning, starting from a young age, training them to respond to the trainer's gestures and commands, as well as to search for items such as drugs and explosives.

The entire training process focuses on establishing corresponding conditioned reflexes.

In Meng Fuqiang's view, Shen Xin took a different approach, trying to make the police dogs understand what he was supposed to do.

The two got more and more excited as they talked, making Shen Xin feel awkward.

He is an expert in the police dog training industry. If he is misled by himself and goes back to write papers to guide the police dog training work across the country, wouldn't that affect the training of police dogs nationwide?

Unable to reach a conclusion, the two decided to leave the matter aside and allow the other party to make their selection.

Both bases brought out their own bred dog breeds.

Eleven partner kennels delivered a total of 28 puppies.

There are a total of 46 puppies available for Shen Xin to choose from.

Shen Xin originally thought he would just come over to help out and take a look, but he didn't expect things to escalate so much that Ning Shan's people also came.

Most importantly, Shen Xin doesn't really understand the selection process for police dogs.

It wasn't written in the police dog manual that Lü Youwei wanted.

Shen Xin looked at Li Jiahui with a pleading gaze.

Li Jiahui didn't mind that her name contained the character "Hui" (慧), she was truly intelligent. After exchanging a few words with Tang Changhong, she came over to help Shen Xin make a selection.

She also took the opportunity to introduce Shen Xin to the selection process and standards for the police dog base.

Puppies around three months old are typically included in the initial screening.

It mainly depends on personality.

For example, whether someone is bold or timid, physically strong or weak, attentive or not, or highly obedient.

She handed Shen Xin a clipboard with the puppy screening form from the base attached to it.

"We mainly look at this nerve type."

She moved closer and pointed to the items on the form to explain them to Shen Xin.

"There's also body size. For example, guard dogs need to reach a certain size. There are some data indicators here, which are data accumulated from our long-term breeding work."

Shen Xin nodded, thinking to himself that it was quite complicated.

All the puppies awaiting selection are now kept in an enclosure.

Some were well-behaved, some ran around everywhere, some kept barking, and some were like mutes.

The sheer number of them was giving Shen Xin a headache.

After thinking for a moment, Shen Xin simply walked into the enclosure, and then, under the watchful eyes of Director Meng Fuqiang and a bunch of colleagues from the police dog base, clapped his hands to suppress all the barking.

Then, the internationally accepted way to tease dogs was adopted.

It made a few sucking sounds.

Li Jiahui, who was following beside her, was instantly dumbfounded.

Meng Fuqiang and others had the same reaction: Isn't this approach too unconventional?

But miraculously, after Shen Xin started nibbling away, all the dozens of puppies in the enclosure suddenly quieted down and tilted their heads to look at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin was thrilled.

Sure enough, no standard is as effective as his own Archdruid spell.
