Animal Detective

Chapter 32 Seven years have passed

The next day, news of the discovery of the drug addict had spread throughout the entire police station.

As Shen Xin changed her clothes and prepared to leave work, she happened to see Song Liang smilingly teasing Bai Wan.

Upon seeing Shen Xin, he hurriedly waved to him.

"Xiao Shen, I just realized you're a lucky charm for our institute!" Song Liang's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter.

In Li Jin's case, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't find any clues, but Shen Xin managed to find one through a stray cat.

And the trucks from before.

Even if it were a million dollars, it was because of Shen Xin that the arrest operation was not disrupted.

"I heard from your master that you are especially popular with cats and dogs. Is that considered a special ability?" Song Liang looked at Shen Xin curiously.

Shen Xin, feeling somewhat guilty, said that it wasn't that mysterious.

Millionaire then stepped forward and circled around Shen Xin, wagging its tail incessantly.

"See? Even a millionaire is still closest to you."

Song Liang has spent a lot of money on ham sausages, but Bai Wan still doesn't wag his tail at him like he does at Shen Xin.

Shen Xin rubbed Baiwan's head.

I thought to myself that we were at least 3 points of affection, so there should be some degree of closeness or distance between us.

"By the way, Xiao Shen," Song Liang lowered his voice again and said mysteriously, "I have some good news. You'll most likely get a third-class merit in Li Jin's case this time."

Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly asked if it was true or not.

Don't underestimate the Third-Class Merit Award; it's not something you can get easily.

I deserve credit for Li Jin's case this time. I found two key clues that led to the successful resolution of the case.

The case itself involves a significant amount of money.

But Shen Xin had thought about it beforehand and felt that a third-class merit was still a bit difficult to obtain; at most, it would just be a commendation.

“It’s promising, mainly because you have a scene where you save someone.” Song Liang said with a smile.

He wouldn't even dare to dream of a collective third-class merit, but for Shen Xin, a trainee police officer, to receive a third-class merit was an honor for the station.

Shen Xin suddenly realized.

Yes, I saved Zhang Jian when Fan Jie was being arrested.

As a police officer, solving cases is our duty, but saving lives is a heroic deed and deserves commendation.

"Thank you, Director Song. I will definitely continue to work hard," Shen Xin said quickly.

In the police system, merit is king.

Otherwise, why would Zhang Jian have devoted so much energy to Li Jin's case?
He was just trying to make a name for himself because it was a rare opportunity for the police station to handle such a big case, hoping to get a promotion later.

Given the same promotion opportunity, if you have made contributions, you will definitely be the one chosen first.

As Shen Xin drove away from the police station, he couldn't help but want to call his parents.

Your son has also been commended for his meritorious service!
I'm not afraid of exaggeration. Since Song Liang dared to tell me this, he must be confident.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it.

If my mom knew that I had done a good deed by saving someone, she would definitely nag me endlessly.

She already felt that being a police officer was dangerous.

Shen Xin drove to the hospital and went to the emergency room to get a rabies vaccine.

He was arrested less than 24 hours ago, so it's not a big problem.

Another thousand or so went out.

After the first shot, the pet hospital sent Shen Xin a message and sent him a picture of his testicles.

Without a doubt, it belongs to a bully.

Zhao Rui jokingly said that these were the biggest pair of bells she had ever seen among all the stray cats she had ever caught.

Having agreed to pick up the bully later, Shen Xin suddenly remembered the cow-patterned cat when he arrived at his doorstep.

I've been losing a lot of money these past few days, so I guess I'll have to take back the cat recorder hanging around my black and white cat's neck.

When it comes to recycling dashcams, DaMei's help is indispensable.

I keep freeze-dried food in the car so that I can bring food home every day, hoping to inspire Da Mei's admiration for me.

But the effect was limited today.

I don't know if it's because I've eaten too much freeze-dried food, but I just can't seem to get interested.

"Da Mei, come on, let's go bully that cow cat." Shen Xin called out after she finished eating.

Every time she changes the battery, Da Mei has to bully that cow cat a bit.

The usually lazy Da Mei suddenly perked up, meowed, and, ignoring the child, darted to the door, signaling for them to hurry up and leave.

Shen Xin suddenly realized that perhaps Da Mei still longed for life in the wild.

Staying at home might ensure food and drink, but compared to the natural world, it certainly lacks a lot of fun. Shen Xin felt that perhaps in the upcoming listening phase, if he wanted to improve her favorability, he should take Da Mei out more often, instead of simply feeding her.

"Hurry up."

Shen Xin also heard Da Mei's heartfelt words.

It seems this queen of the cat world can't wait any longer.

Despite staying up all night, Shen Xin was still able to handle it. He drove Da Mei and they quickly arrived at Xianghong Village.

As if by some strange twist of fate, they ended up in front of Wu Zhicun's house again.

As soon as the car door opened, without any prompting, Da Mei darted out and disappeared in a few moments.

Don't worry about her, she'll bring the calico cat back soon.

At that moment, Shen Xin suddenly noticed a truck parked in front of Wu Zhicun's house.

It looks like He Cuimei's husband, Zhang Wenjun's car.

"Sister He, are you moving?" Shen Xin asked as he walked over.

He Cuimei was carrying pots and pans, loading them onto the car.

"Officer Shen!" He Cuimei greeted him quickly, then pouted and pointed inside the house, saying, "There's nothing we can do. This old man has gone mad. He howls and cries in the middle of the night, scaring people to death. We have no choice but to move out."

She was still a little reluctant to leave, as Wu Zhicun's rent was quite cheap.

crazy?

Shen Xin frowned and immediately went into the courtyard.

The door to the main room was closed. Shen Xin knocked and called out, "Uncle Wu," but there was no response.

He Cuimei then said, "He got up once in the middle of the morning, cried, and then stopped moving for a while."

Shen Xin went to the window of the inner room. The curtains were drawn, so he couldn't see what was going on inside. He knocked on the window, but there was still no response.

Shen Xin sensed something was wrong and kicked open the door to the main room.

The room was still dark.

Even under the glow of the eternal lamp, the three portraits on the front of the body still looked eerie.

Upon looking into the inner room, Shen Xin's expression changed drastically.

Wu Zhicun was lying on the bed, completely still.

On his bedside table was a piece of paper laid out.

Shen Xin rushed over and saw that it should be a package of medicine.

The medicine was in powder form; it had a rather pungent smell, and I had no idea what it was.

But Wu Zhicun's reaction was clearly not normal, because his face turned pale, his hands and feet were cold, his breathing was weak, and when he touched his neck, his heartbeat was also very weak.

This old man committed suicide by overdosing on medication!

Shen Xin cursed inwardly. If he hadn't happened to come and retrieve the cat recorder, given He Cuimei and her family's situation, if they had secretly moved it, they probably wouldn't have been discovered until the old man had rotted away.

Shen Xin quickly dialed the emergency number and then thought about how to provide first aid before the ambulance arrived.

All we can do is induce vomiting.

Shen Xin didn't care anymore, he turned Wu Zhicun over and started gagging him.

There was actually a reaction.

He coughed violently and vomited a puddle of yellow fluid.

Shen Xin quickly told Zhang Wenjun to wait for the ambulance at the village entrance and lead the way.

He Cuimei was also terrified and said in a panic that she did not know about the situation and was afraid of getting into trouble.

The nearest hospital to Xianghong Village is the Fourth Municipal Hospital, which is only about three or four kilometers away. The ambulance arrived a dozen minutes later.

Shen Xin quickly got into the car and took the person to the hospital.

After thinking about it on the way, I called Zhao Shouchuan.

It's still necessary to report suicide attempts by overdose to the local police station.

If he can't be saved, it will be a problem.

He is an elderly person living alone, and someone needs to take care of him.

Upon hearing that Wu Zhicun had attempted suicide by overdose, Zhao Shouchuan was also shocked on the phone and said he would drive to the hospital immediately.

Shen Xin also brought the packet of medicine with him. The doctor in the car smelled it, his expression was somewhat serious, and he said it looked like rat poison.

Shen Xin cursed under his breath.

This old man is something else. You keep saying you're not afraid of death and that you're living for justice. You've already endured seven years, so why not wait a little longer?

And what about Wu Jiawang? What happened? How come he's disappeared without a trace?
