There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

Chapter 120 There's a Druid in this neighborhood

The home of Sanhua Niangniang in Tiancheng Community.

Recently, Tanuki has been coming here every few days, and it has almost become its permanent base.

If you can't get in touch with Tanuki, this is the place to go.

In the back garden, Tanuki yawned, watching the figure leap down from the wall with practiced ease: "What's the matter that's so urgent that you rushed over to find me?"

"It's urgent." The sheriff's expression was unusually serious. He didn't have time for pleasantries and went straight to the point about the purpose of the visit.

"Little Flower is missing."

"Did it go somewhere to play and forget to come back? That's just how this kid is, always so playful. Otherwise, with its looks, it would have been adopted long ago." Tanuki was still as nonchalant as ever, reaching out its paw to grab the fluffy tail behind the Three-Flower Lady's butt.

Xiaohua is an extremely beautiful meteorite Border Collie mix.

Although it's a mixed breed, its color and skeleton make it a hot commodity in pet stores.

It's just a pity that this guy is a typical attention-seeker; he gets excited very easily. Whenever he sees someone, he either runs around the neighborhood or pounces on them.

This is why its photo was displayed on the Ark's adoption wall for half a month, and many people came to ask about it, but in the end they all gave up.

"If it were just being playful, that would be fine. Xiaohua isn't such an unreasonable child; she does know to come back at night. But she hasn't returned for two nights now."

A cold glint flashed in the sheriff's eyes: "I found traces of human activity where it disappeared. I have reason to suspect that it was captured by humans."

"What did you say?"

Tanuki's paws stopped in mid-air. Three-Flower Goddess glanced at it but didn't make any move. Instead, she wrapped her tail around Tanuki.

"This is Tiancheng Community, the most harmonious community between animals and humans. The bullying of stray cats and dogs that has happened in other communities has never occurred here!"

"You know, under our management, stray dogs never poop or pee indiscriminately, and neither do stray cats. There's no way anyone would want to hurt Xiaohua."

"The perpetrator's target was very clear, and their methods were sophisticated. Most importantly, they looked familiar. I specifically asked the dark-skinned PE student to identify them." The sheriff shook off the dirt on his body. "This was dug up from the place where Little Flower last disappeared. This dirt has the smell of a trap, which is specifically for dogs. The perpetrator was also very smart. They knew we had One-Eyed's patrol and deliberately avoided this time."

"Therefore, I suspect..."

Tanuki and the sheriff looked into each other's eyes and said in unison, "Scar is back!"

That's right, only that black market boss who narrowly escaped from the old steel mill would be so adept at planning something like this.

"Why is this guy so persistent?" Tanuki stood up, pacing around in frustration. "If he has the means to kidnap Little Flower, he can also target other dogs. I feel like this time he's not just kidnapping dogs, but more like taking revenge."

"Regardless of whether the other party is Scarface or not, we need to be careful and not let any more pets fall into his hands," the sheriff calmly analyzed.

"That's right." Brother Li nodded: "Better safe than sorry. The tragedy of the black-skinned PE student must never be repeated. This time the other party is much smarter, and without Gu Nanxi's interference, he can sell these dogs to other places more quickly. By then it will be too late."

"Alright, we'll split up. I'll contact One-Eyed Dragon. It's time to let these guys play their part. They'll work with our cats, divided into four shifts. I'm requesting that they patrol 24/7 to ensure there are no more mistakes."

"Go and inform the other dogs in the group not to go out alone for the time being, and to stay with their owners as much as possible. Everyone should be extra careful and not give criminals an opportunity."

Tanuki nodded: "Okay, let's arrange it like this for now. By the way, should we ask that guy in the group to notify the vet? Maybe he can help."

This was the first time that Tanuki had proactively sought help from the mainland.

However, after a moment's thought, the sheriff still refused.

"This guy is too busy to deal with our affairs right now, so we probably don't have time to worry about what's going on here. We can't be completely sure it's Scarface who came yet. Let's investigate first and then talk about it later."

It's no wonder the police chief said that. Lu Fang has been extremely busy lately, and when he goes home to rest at night, he falls asleep as soon as his head hits the pillow. Sometimes, the police chief doesn't even have time to chat with him.

Instead of letting him worry unnecessarily, it's better for them to try to solve the problem themselves.

If the scar isn't just a coincidence, then there's no need to tell Lu Fang. If it really is the scar, we can inform him later.

"Okay." Tanuki nodded.

So the two cats quickly separated and went about their own business.

Meanwhile, Scarface was sitting in an abandoned house, with beer piled up under the table and various snacks on it.

In the corner of the room, Little Flower was locked in a cage. She stood up and stared straight at Scarface, desperately trying to break free of the cage's confinement.

"Behave yourself, or I'll kill you tonight!" A thug came over and kicked the cage, then turned around and pulled out a pack of Red Nanjing cigarettes from his pocket, handing it to Scarface obsequiously: "Brother, you said you were going to lead us on a big heist, how long has it been, and you've only caught this one dog?"

Scarface put down his chopsticks, reached for a cigarette and placed it in his underling's hand. Then he took the whole pack of cigarettes and stuffed it into his pocket: "What's the rush? If you want to do something big, you can't be so hasty. You have to plan things out before you act."

Having gone through what happened last time, Scarface was noticeably more composed.

"I know, but why do we have to keep an eye on Tiancheng Residential Area?" The thug scratched his head, lit a cigarette, and took a satisfying drag.

"The houses in this neighborhood aren't cheap, and the dogs there are expensive too."

"Last time, after the accident, I was in a hurry to get rid of the dog, so I planned to send it to a dog meat factory to exchange for money. This time, I'm not in a hurry. I'm going to catch all the purebred dogs in this neighborhood and sell them one by one!" Scarface said viciously.

Actually, there aren't that many twists and turns.

He came here to get revenge on Lu Fang. Last time, because of him, he almost went to jail and lost three of his underlings. Now that he's finally made a comeback, he's determined to teach Lu Fang a lesson.

"The dogs in this neighborhood seem pretty smart. They're so hard to catch, is it even possible?" The thug frowned as he looked at Xiaohua.

"It would be strange if he wasn't smart; only the smart can fetch a good price." Scarface picked up a piece of beef with his chopsticks, put it in his mouth, chewed, and uttered a strange remark.

"Oh right, I forgot to tell you, there's also a Druid in this neighborhood."
