Animal Detective

Chapter 22 is the stuff of a detective.

Judging from previous photos, the young man was clearly feeding the cow cat.

Is it possible that he is the suspect they are looking for?
It's possible, I can only say.

Because there are many cat lovers, a stray cat may be fed by several people.

But after shooting for three days straight, taking all sorts of random photos, we finally got a clear shot of a face, so we couldn't just ignore it.

Shen Xin immediately went to check the location track of the recorder.

The photos of the young people have a timestamp; they were taken at 11:21 AM today.

Then find the location corresponding to the time.

found it.

Houzhuang Village is located just across National Highway 372.

The dashcam wasn't cheap, so the location tracking was very accurate. The associated map showed that at 11:21 AM, when the photo was taken, the calico cat appeared at No. 74, Houzhuang Village.

"Xiao Shen!"

While checking his phone, Song Liang, who was walking ahead, saw that Shen Xin wasn't leaving and called out to him.

Shen Xin snapped out of his daze and hurriedly waved his phone, saying, "Director Song, I might have a lead."

"clue?"

Song Liang was stunned for a moment, then rushed over and eagerly asked what the clue was.

"Song, let's go to Houzhuang Village first. I'll talk to you on the way."

Shen Xin hurriedly said.

Let's assume that the young man who was accidentally photographed is the suspect we're looking for.

Then the other party must have an extremely strong counter-surveillance awareness.

If you were the other person and saw the stray cat you regularly feed wearing a camera, you would definitely think you were being targeted.

Once you've set your sights on someone, you must withdraw.

He was photographed at 11 a.m., and now it's past 2 p.m. Several hours have passed; those who acted quickly have probably already run away.

So we have to get there quickly.

"it is good!"

Song Liang didn't know what clue Shen Xin was talking about, but since there was a clue, it was a good thing.

He immediately took Shen Xin to the parking area.

Wang Shuwei and Zhang Jian were waiting by the police car when they saw Shen Xin and Zhang Jian rushing over. Upon hearing that there was a clue, Zhang Jian, who had been squatting on the ground in distress, suddenly stood up.

"What clue?"

He was anxious.

Shen Xin waved his phone and said as he got into the car, "Cat."

Song Liang immediately got into the car and said, "We'll talk on the way."

Zhang Jian and Wang Shuwei exchanged a glance and hurriedly got into the car.

No. 74, Houzhuang Village.

Shen Xin gave the address before explaining to everyone on his phone.

"This kid?" Zhang Jian snatched Shen Xin's phone and carefully examined the young man in the photo, his expression shifting between light and dark.

In three days, he investigated more than 8,000 people. His legs were about to break, and he was so exhausted that he even urinated blood, but he still couldn't find any clues.

Wang Shuwei and Song Liang exchanged a strange glance.

"Xiao Shen, so you mean you used the stray cat you were feeding to find this calico cat, and then put a recording device on it?" Wang Shuwei looked a little confused.

This sounds like a joke.

Did Shen Xin's stray cat become sentient? Can it even help find other cats?

And yet, they found it.

Most importantly, Wang Shuwei couldn't even imagine what kind of thought process Shen Xin had to come up with such a method.

If it is discovered that the suspect fed a stray cat, a normal person would think that this is a dead end and a useless clue.

Shen Xin, on the other hand, actually came up with the idea of ​​finding this cow cat.

What's even more outrageous is that he actually used a cat to find another cat.

Even the wildest imagination couldn't come up with such a solution.

"Xiao Shen, your brain is absolutely brilliant!" Song Liang turned his head and gave Shen Xin a thumbs up.

He simply couldn't think of such a solution.

The key thing is that Shen Xin actually managed to get it done and managed to get some useful clues.

Shen Xin skipped over part of the story and said, "Director Song, I didn't really think that much at the time. I just thought it was a clue, and I wanted to figure out how to investigate it. That's how I came up with this idea. But we can't have too high hopes. Maybe it's just another ordinary person feeding this cow cat."

Vaccinations are definitely necessary.

"Ugh."

Song Liang waved his hand and said, "No matter what the final result is, your spirit of holding on to a clue and trying to find a way to investigate it is commendable."

Then, with a smile, he praised, "I must say, you're really cut out to be a criminal investigator."

Wang Shuwei nodded in agreement.

In his view, the most important quality for a criminal investigator is perseverance. Even with the slightest clue, one must hold on tight and investigate relentlessly until the suspect is brought to justice.

Even Zhang Jian reached out and patted Shen Xin on the shoulder.

He didn't speak, but his expression of agreement said it all.

Song Liang stepped on the gas again, and a few minutes later, they arrived at their destination in a hurry.

Houzhuang Village is also adjacent to the national highway and close to the logistics park. It has gradually developed in the past two years. Although it is not as developed as Xianghong Village, it has also attracted a large number of migrant workers.

Number 74 is located in the northwest of the village, next to a cement road, and is a house with a front and back yard.

Song Liang slammed on the brakes, but before the car had come to a complete stop, Zhang Jian had already opened the door and jumped out.

"This guy."

Wang Shuwei cursed and quickly followed.

Shen Xin also got out of the car with his phone to check the location.

right here.

The front gate was open, leading to a two-story building. The yard was planted with flowers and plants, but the iron gate was tightly closed.

Zhang Jian was already peeking cautiously into the courtyard.

"It should be the backyard."

Shen Xin glanced back and said.

The front yard is clearly a detached house, while the back yard must have been added later, with a separate side entrance.

Song Liang quickly made a hand gesture, indicating that they should work in pairs to investigate from both sides.

Zhang Jian grabbed Shen Xin and ran towards the backyard.

The back gate was locked, and the courtyard wall was quite high, so you couldn't see inside.

After a moment's hesitation, Zhang Jian started banging on the door without saying a word.

Shen Xin silently pulled out his baton and got ready.

No response.

At this moment, Song Liang and his companion walked over from the front yard, accompanied by a middle-aged woman.

"Officer, is there some misunderstanding? Xiao Li is a good kid, he won't cause any trouble." She said as she took out her keys.

Song Liang hurriedly said, "Big sister, we're just doing a simple investigation, please don't overthink it."

The middle-aged woman nodded and opened the door with the spare key.

Zhang Jian was the first to rush in.

This is a detached bungalow with a bathroom and kitchen.

"Cat bowl!"

Zhang Jian strode to the kitchen doorway on his right, grabbed the cat bowl from the ground, and said, "There's no mistake, this is it."

The background of the photo also matches.

As he spoke, he was about to rush into the main room.

Song Liang quickly stopped him.

"Do not impulse."

He warned.

There is currently no evidence to suggest that this young man surnamed Li is involved in the electric vehicle theft, so we can only investigate; barging in is not appropriate.

Shen Xin also asked the middle-aged woman at the right time whether the young man surnamed Li had left his ID card, phone number, or other information when he rented the room.

"some."

The middle-aged woman took out her phone and showed Shen Xin a photo of her ID card.

It's that person in the photo, thin, with a bony face, medium-length hair, and a very honest appearance.

His name is Li Jin.

Born in 96, I'll be 22 years old this year.

Xu was born in Gongyang, Shanxi Province.

I also have a phone number.

"Director Song, no need to look anymore, it's this kid, there's no mistake!" Zhang Jian suddenly shouted, pointing to the bedroom window.

Shen Xin followed Song Liang closer to take a look.

The room has three rooms. The window in the left-hand room is closed, but the curtains are not drawn.

Through the window, you can see that the desk by the window is piled with various electronic boards, components, soldering irons, meters, and other tools.

It is obvious that Li Jin is proficient in electronic technology.

Based on this alone, he is somewhat suspicious.

"Damn it, we finally found him." Zhang Jian's eyes lit up.

Shen Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He went to great lengths, bringing Da Mei over every day to change the dashcam battery, and he had to plead with Wu Zhicun, enduring all sorts of ridicule.

At least the effort wasn't wasted!
