Animal Detective

Chapter 192 Kennel
The young man was probably around thirty years old.

He's of average height, around 1.78 meters. His looks are above average, and his skin is pretty good, which is a plus.

He wore a black jacket over a thick plaid shirt.

His clothing was casual and simple, but he had a kind of gentle and refined demeanor, or rather, a calm and experienced temperament that came from years of navigating the complexities of society.

It feels like the kind of successful person who has washed away all pretense and glamour.

"Hello."

He was slightly surprised, and politely used the honorific "you" (您), his voice also possessing a magnetic quality.

Then he quickly wiped his right hand on his body before extending his hand to shake hands with Shen Xin.

"Watching you choose the items was quite an eye-opener," he added, offering a compliment.

Shen Xin said, "If you want to say that I just picked randomly, I can accept that."

I guess in their eyes, it's almost like I made a random choice.

The young man was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Shen Xin to be able to make such a self-deprecating joke. He laughed and introduced himself as Bai Jifei.

"Shen Xin."

After getting to know him, Shen Xin squatted down and looked at the Bloodhound, which had already been put into its carrier, and said, "I want to buy this Bloodhound."

Bai Jifei glanced at Meng Fuqiang in the distance, somewhat puzzled.

“I’m not one of them. I’m from the Tingyang branch. Our branch also trains police dogs. I think this Bloodseeker is good, the best one.” Shen Xin reached out and shook the Bloodseeker in the carrier, asking what its name was.

"His name is Loki, the same Loki as the Norse god."

Bai Jifei realized what was happening, but was still puzzled.

He certainly knew about the Tingyang branch, but wasn't it a bit extravagant for a branch to keep its own police dogs?

Moreover, it's highly unusual that professionals from a prestigious police dog base would ask Shen Xin, an outsider, to help select police dogs.

However, Shen Xin's words, "This is the best," made Bai Jifei feel much better.

He brought three puppies, but they were all rejected, which was quite frustrating.

Only now do I realize that the blood-seeking needle I have is the best.

Then secretly keep the best for yourself...

Bai Jifei was surprised but expressed his understanding.

"Of course." Bai Jifei was eager to try, but hesitated for a moment before saying, "However, the price is a bit high here. My asking price is... 18,000."

His kennel owner breeds Maltese dogs, and occasionally other breeds. He specifically imported two breeding dogs from the original bloodline of Maltese, which cost a considerable amount of money. This was the first litter, and the price was not low.

Moreover, cooperating with the police, in essence, is about selling bloodlines.

"Okay, it's not like I'm paying for it anyway."

Shen Xin didn't care; the funds approved by the bureau hadn't even been used up yet.

"Let's exchange contact information. I'll come pick you up when I'm free," Shen Xin said.

Bai Jifei quickly handed over a business card and added Shen Xin on WeChat, curiously asking if Loki would be a police dog from now on.

"Of course, the dogs we police keep are police dogs."

Wang Xihai was concerned about this matter and planned to report Dou Dou and the others to the authorities so that they could be officially registered as police dogs.

This way, there is a fixed food allowance, which is covered by the state.

Moreover, within the system, these individuals are considered professional technical police officers, and attempting to attack a police dog constitutes the same crime as attacking a police officer.

"By the way, if you're reluctant to part with it, you can follow our Tingyang branch's account later. I'll post some training videos then."

Wang Xihai has been talking about the short video account for several days now.

"Oh, then I'll definitely keep an eye on it."

Bai Jifei nodded, thanked him, and then left with the three puppies.

Shen Xin looked at the business card in his hand.

The address of this kennel was found to be in Tingyang District, in the far east, near Hutang Town.

Although it's a rural town, there's a Lushan Lake Wetland Park there, with particularly beautiful scenery.

Therefore, there are some villa communities nearby.

As far as Shen Xin knew, high-end kennels and catteries preferred to rent detached villas.

Bai Jifei's family lives in a villa project called Shuiyue Lushan.

Just then, someone patted me on the back.

Turning my head, I saw Zhang Qian.

She asked Shen Xin if she was free, suggesting they find a place to have lunch later, and that she would treat them.

"No thanks, I'm at work right now. Besides, you only earn that meager salary, you should keep it for yourself. I'll treat you to a late-night snack after get off work tonight."

Zhang Qian's family isn't wealthy, and she works as a graphic designer, but her salary isn't high.

Last time I heard her say that she seemed to want to change careers and start her own design studio.

Turning his head, Li Jiahui also came over and told Shen Xin not to leave at noon and to have lunch with him as part of a reception.

"it is good."

Shen Xin immediately agreed.

Zhang Qian couldn't help but mutter, "Aren't you at work?" She had just said she was busy.

Shen Xin said, "That's different. This is a meal with the leaders."

This breath was filled with a desire for progress.

Zhang Qian was both amused and exasperated, and then joined them on a tour of the police dog base.

Let's take a look at the training grounds and such.

Shen Xin silently made a note of it, wondering if he should also renovate the branch office's playground when he got back.
But after thinking about it, I decided against it, since I and the police dog base were not on the same path.

To train a guard dog's aggression, I simply showed Black Panther videos I found online, and he learned just as well.

After finishing a case, I need to rest for a couple of days.

The following afternoon, Shen Xin went to the finance department to collect the money and drove to the kennel to pick up Rocky.

It's quite far away.

The residential area is not far from the wetland park. There seem to be thirty or forty villas, all of which are detached and have front and back yards.

However, as Shen Xin drove in, he discovered that the occupancy rate was not high, and a third of the apartments were unfurnished and vacant.

That's normal. Lushan Lake is too remote. Pingyu is just a short distance away, a real rural area.

The villa areas in Nanjiang are all located near Nanzhu Lihu Lake, where the scenery is truly beautiful, nestled against the mountains and beside the water.

26 number.

Shen Xin stopped the car and looked at the two-story detached villa in front of him.

After ringing the doorbell, Bai Jifei quickly appeared and opened the door.

"welcome."

He warmly welcomed Shen Xin inside and even offered to show him around.

"No, our branch has three police dogs. I often hang out with them. I don't want to pick up any germs and infect your puppies."

Shen Xin did not enter the villa.

According to what I read online, the biggest fear for high-end kennels and catteries is bringing in germs from outside.

Bai Jifei laughed and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but it's fine. Please have a seat, I'll bring Loki over right away."

He invited Shen Xin to sit down in the rest area in the front yard, poured him some water, and then went to fetch Loki.

It's still good tea.

Shen Xin took two sips and looked around at his surroundings.

At this moment, notice the curtains of the room on the east side of the second floor are drawn.

Then, through the bright, large window, Shen Xin saw a woman appear. She seemed to be sitting in a wheelchair, slowly approaching the window and looking at Shen Xin through it.

She must have noticed Shen Xin's gaze, because a smile appeared on her face.

Shen Xin nodded slightly, guessing that it was the lady of the house.

Strangely, she just watched quietly without making any further reaction.

At this moment, Bai Jifei led Loki out.

Loki remained quiet, but upon seeing Shen Xin, he could still sense his closeness.

It's a male dog, three and a half months old.

Bai Jifei sat down and showed Shen Xin some agreements.

These are the common diseases associated with lumps.

Then they arranged a new home gift package for them, including food and other necessities.

Shen Xin paid the money promptly.

Of course, you need to get an invoice.

"Goodbye then. Don't worry, I'll take good care of him."

Shen Xin took Loki's hand and prepared to leave.

Loki was still a little reluctant to leave, and turned his head to bark in the direction of the villa.

It seems to be on the second floor, in the direction of the lady of the house.

Bai Jifei turned his head and saw the woman. He sighed and said, "My wife and Loki are quite close, but it's okay, she'll get used to it."

Shen Xin glanced at the still motionless female homeowner on the second floor and felt something was amiss.

But there's no need to pry into other people's private affairs.

"Do not worry."

I'm capable; I can even train a crocodile, so what's a little dog?

Shen Xin picked up Loki, grabbed his things, and left.

Inside the police car, Loki was still peering out the window, looking towards the villa.

Looking through the rearview mirror, Shen Xin saw that the woman on the second floor was still watching without moving.

If Shen Xin hadn't seen her smile earlier, he would have suspected she was a corpse.
