Animal Detective

Chapter 57 The Second Phase of the Million
Inside the Yunlin Police Station's handling room.

"You're the one selling fake medicine!" Chi Yidong slammed his hand on the table and shouted, then pointed at Zhang Zhengde across from him and said, "Officer, did you hear that? He's slandering me! I'm going to sue him!"

Zhang Zhengde on the other side also stood up abruptly.

"Isn't what I said the truth? Do you think everyone doesn't know your little tricks? Let me tell you, I despise people like you the most. How dare you call yourself a doctor? For such a small amount of money, you have no bottom line, you're despicable and shameless!"

"Me, despicable and shameless? Zhang, stop pretending to be high and mighty. To put it bluntly, you're just jealous of how much money I make. If you haven't made any, that's because you're incompetent. You deserve it!"

Zhang Zhengde was so angry that his face turned red. He slammed his hand on the table and was about to argue back.

"stop!"

Shen Xin shouted, silencing the two men, and slammed his hand on the table, yelling, "What kind of place is this? A police station? Is this where you two are arguing? Sit down properly!"

The two then sat down.

Chi Yidong stopped slamming his fist on the table and changed his mind, saying, "Officer Shen, I've changed my mind. I won't accept mediation. I want to sue him for property theft and have him arrested."

Zhang Zhengde retorted defiantly, "Arrest me if you want, who are you trying to scare? It's just detention, but don't even think about running away, officer. I'm going to accuse him of selling counterfeit medicine and practicing medicine illegally."

"You're the one practicing medicine illegally! I have a medical license, and the medicines I sell have health food approval numbers. Hey, I'm not breaking the law, you're so angry!"

Chi Yidong's tone was so sharp it was as if he was about to spit on Zhang Zhengde.

Enraged, Zhang Zhengde's forehead veins throbbed, and he involuntarily clutched his chest.

Shen Xin was about to speak when he turned his head and saw Song Liang peeking into the treatment room. He changed his mind and said, "You two don't want to talk properly, do you? Then I'll follow the procedures and do whatever needs to be done."

Zhang Zhengde's expression changed slightly, and he looked somewhat uneasy.

Chi Yidong, on the other hand, looked smug.

"And you, you know perfectly well what you added to the medicine. Think it through before you speak."

He's clearly done this more than once or twice; he's been operating in a gray area and knows how to evade inspection.

Moreover, the authorities don't investigate unless the public reports it, and his clients experience good results with the product without any problems.

But if you really investigate, do you think you've got everything under control?
Chi Yidong's expression changed, and the smug look on his face disappeared.

"I'll give you some more time to think it over carefully, and then we'll talk."

Shen Xin tapped the table one last time, then turned and left.

"Commander Song, is something the matter?"

Upon approaching Song Liang, Shen Xin immediately composed himself and asked with a smile.

Song Liang winked at the two people inside the room and asked in a low voice what was going on.

"One of them is a self-proclaimed righteous person who smashed up someone's shop door in the middle of the night, and the other one sells aphrodisiacs. I'll just talk to the drug administration later."

Song Liang simply said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

He pulled Shen Xin aside and said with a smile, "Little Shen, I remember when you first came to the station, you didn't know anything and kept making mistakes. But in the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and you've even made a meritorious contribution and become an excellent police officer."

Shen Xin guessed what Song Liang was going to say to him, and quickly said, "Director Song, I still make mistakes, but it's not like I'm not being supervised by you and my master. If it weren't for your good teaching, would I be able to make a contribution?"

"Stop it."

Song Liang laughed and cursed, his crow's feet appearing at the corners of his eyes.

He patted Shen Xin on the shoulder, looked Shen Xin up and down, and said, "That's good, you've matured."

Just like now, the dispute was handled cleanly and efficiently.

Unlike when I first arrived, I didn't even dare to speak.

"To be honest, I'm really going to miss you." Song Liang sighed.

Clearly, he already knew that the branch office wanted to transfer him to the criminal investigation team.

"Chief Song, as you know, I really wanted to be a criminal investigator. When Director Lü asked me that question, I got excited and just said it without thinking too much about it. Who knew he would actually agree?"

Song Liang glared at him and laughed, "Don't act innocent after you've gotten the benefit. What, you think I'd stop you?"

"How could that be? Water flows downhill, and people strive for higher goals. You're ambitious, that's a good thing. Do you think I'd stop you?"

Shen Xin quickly shook his head, indicating that he did not mean that.

Song Liang then reminded him, "But Xiao Shen, even though you're leaving, I have to remind you that criminal police officers face much greater pressure than those in the police station. Most importantly, they are on the front lines and have to bear risks. You need to think this through and be vigilant." He didn't want someone who had left his station to go back to attend Shen Xin's memorial service.

Shen Xin nodded quickly and said he understood, adding that even if he left, he would always be a member of the Yunlin Police Station.

"Alright, that's so thoughtful. I'll invite all the people you're close to to have a meal together. You can treat, I'll pay. Consider it a farewell dinner." Song Liang said with a smile, adding that the scale could be a bit higher.

Shen Xinli received a third-class merit award, which helped the institute obtain a collective commendation. It is only right and proper that we present him with a proper gift.

"Thank you, Director Song," Shen Xin said quickly.

Song Liang nodded and added, "But we still need to stand firm at our post until the very end."

It takes several days to go through the procedures.

It was past 7 p.m. when Zhang Zhengde's case was finished, and he ultimately chose to pay compensation and apologize.

As for Chi Yidong, Shen Xin still planned to go back and tell the drug administration.

How they handle it is their business.

I went to the cafeteria for a meal.

It was past lunchtime, but because of Baiwan, Chef Li had been taking good care of Shen Xin lately and even saved some food for him—a braised pork chop the size of a palm.

Shen Xin took the bowl and went outside to look for Bai Wan.

"Give!"

Shen Xin took a piece of beef jerky out of his pocket and tossed it out with a smile.

Baiwan stretched out his neck, caught it precisely, and wolfed it down. Then he ran to his doghouse, retrieved a frisbee, and spat it at Shen Xin's feet.

He wanted Shen Xin to play with him.

Shen Xin bought this frisbee for me.

Shen Xin has been busy with work lately and is rarely home, so he has spent less time with Da Mei. The icon is still at the second stage with 3 bars of affection.

On the contrary, because I often spend time at the police station, I can tease Baiwan whenever I have free time, and buy him some treats and toys, which makes him like me more and more.

We're currently at stage 9, and we'll break through soon.

"Million, bring on the best."

Shen Xin pointed to the camphor tree at the entrance of the cafeteria, then threw a frisbee into the air.

Million rushed toward the tree trunk, leaped up, stepped on the trunk, turned around in mid-air, and jumped high, accurately catching the falling frisbee.

Then it landed lightly.

"handsome!"

Shen Xin gave him a thumbs up and, as if by magic, pulled out another piece of jerky and stuffed it into his mouth.

He wagged his tail, and the icon on his head suddenly increased by the last bar.

Full!
Then it turned yellow.

Shen Xin was overjoyed; they had entered the second stage.

The key is that it's incredibly fast.

It only took about ten days, and Shen Xin didn't spend much time on him, just bought him some good food and spent time with him whenever she had free time.

Unlike Da Mei, who helped her get revenge and bring her husband home, it wasn't easy for her to break through to the second stage.

Shen Xin thought it might be related to the nature of cats and dogs.

Cats are born to be solitary and aloof.

Like a proud and aloof girlfriend, you have to find ways to coax her.

Unlike dogs, which are more affectionate and loyal to their owners, cats don't ask for much. They just want their owners to spend more time playing with them, and that's enough for them.

The favorability rating will naturally increase faster.
