If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Tuantuan is doing very well at the police station. Every day, she does nothing but act cute and beg for food, or enjoy the air conditioning. She has taken "paid slacking off" to a whole new level.

However, just when he thought life would continue to be so comfortable, the door to the director's office was suddenly pushed open, and Wang Zhenhua walked out with a dark face, the cigarette butt he was holding almost burning his fingers.

"Kobayashi, come here for a second."

Lin Wan paused, quickly stood up, straightened her police uniform, and asked solemnly, "Chief, still haven't pried it open?"

"A tough nut to crack." Wang Zhenhua stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, his face ashen as if he'd swallowed a fly. "That Zhang Sanbiao is a seasoned veteran, with incredibly strong mental fortitude. We've been interrogating him for three days, and all he wants to do is ask for a lawyer and sleep; he hasn't uttered a single word. The municipal bureau has already issued an ultimatum: if we can't produce a confession soon, the case will be transferred to the municipal bureau, and all the credit will go to them. All the hard work we've put in these past few days will have been for nothing."

Lin Wan bit her lip, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.

As a newcomer, she was eager to close the case herself.

"Chief, let Lao Zhang and I try one more time." Lin Wan took a deep breath. "I have a feeling that his psychological defenses have reached a breaking point, and he's just one straw away from breaking the camel's back."

Wang Zhenhua looked at his stubborn apprentice, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally sighed: "Alright, let's try anything, even if it's a long shot. But be careful not to let him lead you astray."

"clear!"

Lin Wan turned to leave, but suddenly felt her left leg sink.

Looking down, she saw that Li Tuantuan, who had been so lazy just moments before, had somehow managed to grab her thighs tightly with her two thick, bear-like paws, her big face tilted back, her dark circles filled with longing.

"What are you doing? Stop messing around, I need to go to work." Lin Wan was a little amused and tried to pull her leg out, but it was like it was welded to her and wouldn't budge.

Li Tuantuan stretched out a paw, pointed in the direction of the interrogation room, patted her broad chest, and even made a "showing off her biceps" gesture.

The meaning is clear: Take me with you, I'm familiar with this business!

"Nonsense!" Lin Wan said sternly. "That's an interrogation room, a serious place, not a cafeteria where you can act cute and beg for food."

Li Tuantuan persisted, making "whimpering" noises and even rubbing her head against Lin Wan's belt, acting like a rogue who would throw a tantrum if she wasn't taken along.

Seeing this scene, Wang Zhenhua, who had been frowning, suddenly froze.

His gaze darted back and forth between the menacing photo of the wanted criminal and the "rogue panda" in front of him, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him.

"Wait..." Wang Zhenhua stroked the stubble on his chin, his eyes gradually becoming subtle. "Xiao Lin, take it inside."

"Huh?" Lin Wan thought she had misheard. "Chief, isn't this against the rules? Bringing family members... oh no, pets for interrogation?"

"Rules are rigid, but bears are flexible." Wang Zhenhua laughed, a hint of cunning in his smile. "Isn't Zhang Sanbiao a stubborn bastard? He's experienced in fighting with the police, but has he ever fought with the law against a panda? Besides, with Xiao Lin watching over things, and this panda knowing its limits, nothing will happen."

"That's called 'asymmetric attack.' And..." Wang Zhenhua lowered his voice, "If we use force, that's torture. If the National Guard doesn't like him and slaps him a couple of times, what's that called? That's called 'wildlife stress response,' it's an act of God!"

Li Tuantuan felt a jolt of excitement and almost gave the director a thumbs up.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]

"Holy crap! Old Wang, you know the law! That's a perfect reading comprehension!"

"Isn't this the 'imperial sword' I've been looking for? Ordered to beat people up, and I even get merit points! I'll take the job!"

……

Inside the interrogation room, the incandescent light bulbs hissed with electricity, and the air felt oppressively suffocating.

Zhang Sanbiao was strapped to the interrogation chair. Although his face was covered in stubble and his eyes were sunken, his murky triangular eyes still revealed a cunning and ruthless nature.

"Officer, don't bother." Seeing Lin Wan come in, Zhang Sanbiao even yawned. "I've said it a hundred times, I just got lost while gathering herbs in the mountains. As for what those two accomplices said, that's a frame-up. You have no evidence, at most you can detain me for 24 hours."

Lin Wan sat opposite him, looking at him coldly: "Zhang Sanbiao, don't think we can't do anything to you just because you don't talk. There are cases where people have been convicted without confessing."

"Who are you trying to scare?" Zhang Sanbiao scoffed, leaning back with an air of utter defiance. "I know the law. I need to see a lawyer. I won't say a word until he arrives..."

"Squeak—"

The heavy iron gate was pushed open again.

Zhang Sanbiao casually raised his head, a cold smile still lingering on his face.

However, the next second, his smile froze, his pupils instantly contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his whole body trembled violently as if he had been struck by a high-voltage electric shock.

A huge shadow loomed over him.

There were no police officers and no lawyers.

A panda walked in.

It stands upright, nearly two meters tall, with black and white markings. It was the terrifying nightmare of catching a bullet with bare hands and slapping him five meters away on that stormy night!

"Roar..." To match the atmosphere, Li Tuantuan deliberately lowered her voice and let out a deep roar.

The voice echoed in the cramped interrogation room, carrying a sense of oppression from the top of the food chain.

The moment Zhang Sanbiao saw Li Tuantuan, his face turned deathly pale, but he forced himself to remain calm and gritted his teeth, saying, "You...you're breaking the rules..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Tuantuan slowly raised the bear paw—the same one that had slapped him five meters away that night.

Zhang Sanbiao's pupils dilated instantly as the terrifying scene of that stormy night flashed through his mind, and his rationality snapped completely.

"No...don't come any closer! Get it away! It'll kill people! Help! The police are killing people!"

Lin Wan suppressed a laugh and said calmly, "What are you shouting for? This is the 'helpful bystander' who brought you back. Hearing that you wouldn't cooperate, it came to check on you."

As she spoke, Li Tuantuan had already strolled slowly to the interrogation chair.

The hot, pungent smell sprayed onto Zhang Sanbiao's face, almost suffocating him.

Li Tuantuan stretched out her bear paw, powerful enough to split rocks and shatter stone tablets, and hovered it above Zhang Sanbiao's head.

Zhang Sanbiao was so frightened that he tightly closed his eyes, tears and snot streaming down his face: "Don't kill me... I don't want to die... Don't slap me..."

The imagined brain splattering did not occur.

"Smack."

A soft sound.

Li Tuantuan's bear paw landed on Zhang Sanbiao's face, patting him three times, neither too hard nor too soft.

Pop, pop, pop.

Each strike seemed to say: Young man, you've taken the wrong path.

Although it doesn't hurt, the humiliation and intimidation it causes are off the charts.

Li Tuantuan brought her big face close to Zhang Sanbiao's, bared her teeth, and her expression seemed to say, "If you don't talk now, I won't use this 'gentle mode' for the next slap."

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]

"You're asking for it, aren't you? I'm forcing you, Grandpa Panda, to take action."

"If I slap you, you might die, but me? At most, I'll be punished by eating two apples at the zoo. Is this a worthwhile deal for you?"

This silent threat became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

He can find a loophole when confronting a law-abiding policeman; but confronting this unreasonable beast is truly a death sentence!

"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"

Zhang Sanbiao's psychological defenses completely collapsed. He cried out in a sob, "Take it away...please take it away...I'll confess, I'll confess everything!"

Lin Wan's eyes lit up, and she quickly turned on the recorder, while giving Old Zhang a wink.

The next half hour passed like beans pouring from a bamboo tube.

From poaching routes to the channels for selling stolen goods, and even the contact information and hiding place of his supplier "Old K," Zhang Sanbiao explained everything in detail, afraid that if he spoke too slowly, the bear next to him would give him another "loving pat."

The moment Zhang Sanbiao pressed his fingerprint—

【Ding! 】

The long-lost mechanical voice finally exploded in Li Tuantuan's mind.

[Congratulations, host! You have assisted the police in solving a major Class A poaching case, punishing evil and promoting good—a truly meritorious deed!]

[Merit Points Gained: 500]

[Achievement unlocked: Adorable Police Beast.]

[Rewards: 10 boxes of Premium Potted Milk, Beast Language Mastery skill, System Space unlocked.]

Li Tuantuan's eyes widened suddenly, and drool uncontrollably streamed down her face from her mouth.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]

"Here he comes! Brother Tongzi may be late, but he's here!"

"Mastery of animal language? That's great! Now I can recruit followers! And a basin of milk... Is this what it's like to be a trained soldier? It smells amazing!"

Outside the interrogation room.

Wang Zhenhua flipped through the still-fresh confession, his face beaming with excitement: "Great! Excellent! Not only can we close the case, but we can also follow the clues to catch the big fish! Xiao Lin, you deserve the credit this time!"

"Chief, this isn't my doing." Lin Wan looked at Li Tuantuan, who was swaggering out of the interrogation room with her hands behind her back, her eyes full of doting and amazement. "It's all thanks to this 'special officer'."

Looking at the round, chubby figure, Wang Zhenhua exclaimed, "This isn't just a panda, it's practically an auspicious omen for our institute! No, we have to find a way to keep it no matter what..."

Just then, Lin Wan's phone rang.

She answered the phone, her expression gradually becoming serious.

"Okay, Section Chief Zhang, I understand... Yes, three days... I will pass on the message to the director."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan glanced at Li Tuantuan, who was sunbathing in the yard, and felt an indescribable reluctance welling up in her heart.

"Director, the people from the Forestry Bureau will be here to pick up Gun Gun tomorrow."

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue] 'Holy crap?! These thieves are back again?!' 'Even discarding a used tool wouldn't be this quick, right? I just did something great and they're already putting me in a cage?'

No way! My official position isn't secured yet! And... and I haven't had enough of hugging Miss Lin Wan's long legs! Nobody's taking me away!
