Animal Detective

Chapter 81 Blue (Seeking first subscription)

While there was tacit understanding, there was also a bit of awkwardness.

“Actually, you could have just said it directly,” Shen Xin said.

They were all colleagues in the same team.

This makes it seem like there's no trust involved.

Ding Yuwei nodded, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Shen Xin didn't hesitate and asked her what she wanted to do.

Ding Yuwei thought for a moment and said, "You interned at the police station, so you should know these people better than I do. I'll listen to you."

Shen Xin nodded and led Ding Yuwei upstairs.

After a moment's hesitation, he added, "I know you sympathize with Liu Yuting and think that her mother is not human and therefore does not deserve to be a mother."

“No matter how awful Shi Yanhua is, she is still her mother. As outsiders, we can sympathize with her and offer our help.”

"But you must first be aware of protecting yourself and have a red line in your mind."

Don't come back, and give Wang Genping a barrage of threats.

You'll be the one who suffers the consequences!
Ding Yuwei nodded thoughtfully and asked how to do it.

"Knock politely."

Shen Xin stepped forward and began to knock on the door.

The door opened quickly.

It is Wang Genping.

"Are you guys crazy? Why are you here again?" Wang Genping said angrily.

He had a few more marks on his face, clearly indicating that he had gotten into another fight with Shi Yanhua.

Shi Yanhua wasn't there, so he really went back to work.

Shen Xin's gaze passed over Wang Genping and landed on the second bedroom, whose door was open.

There was only one bed, but it was cluttered with a lot of other things.

Liu Yuting was sitting on a small stool, lying on the bed doing her homework.

"Well, I didn't have a chance to ask earlier. Your name is Wang Genping, right? What are the characters?" Shen Xin asked, turning his gaze away.

Wang Genping's expression changed slightly, and he nervously asked Shen Xin what he was going to do.

"Answer my questions."

Shen Xin spoke calmly.

She and Ding Yuwei had separated earlier; she had walked back, while Shen Xin had driven.

They arrived together, and because they were on the way, Shen Xin called Dong Yueming again to ask about Wang Genping's situation.

Many of these petty thugs are actually on the police station's blacklist.

As expected, he had a criminal record.

Moreover, Li Dongsheng happened to have handled this before and was more familiar with the situation.

Shen Xin called Li Dongsheng again to ask about the situation.

Wang Genping muttered something and repeated his name.

Shen Xin nodded, then suddenly changed the subject: "What's your relationship with Huang Jie?"

"Who?"

Wang Genping was startled, and a flash of panic crossed his eyes.

Shen Xin laughed and said, "Huang Jie, don't pretend you don't know him. I heard you two often hang out together. The month before last, he was caught harboring others and was just punished. What about you? Have you been punished?"

Mentioning this made Wang Genping's face turn pale with fright, and his legs spun around.

"Officer, please don't slander me. I never get involved in that kind of thing. Besides, I'm really not familiar with Huang Jie. We've only had a few meals together, and he might not even recognize me if we met again."

He roamed the streets and knew how serious the consequences of getting involved with that kind of stuff were.

Shen Xin said, "What do you mean by slander? Watch your words. I'm just conducting a reasonable and legal investigation."

Wang Genping nodded nervously and apologized repeatedly.

"It's best if you haven't gotten involved. If you have, it's all over. Don't have any illusions. We all know your background. From now on, live a good life with him. There's also a young girl, isn't she lovely?" Shen Xin patted Wang Genping's arm.

Wang Genping shuddered and hurriedly nodded.

Shen Xin didn't expect this to completely intimidate Wang Genping, but as long as he remembered that someone was watching him, that would be enough.

"If it's convenient, may I ask the young lady a few questions?" Shen Xin asked again.

"convenient."

Wang Genping quickly stepped aside.

Shen Xin entered the room and squatted down in front of Liu Yuting.

First, ask her if she feels dizzy or uncomfortable.

She had already been beaten before, and after she left, she didn't know if Shi Yanhua had beaten her again.

She shook her head, somewhat nervous.

"Don't be afraid, little girl. We are police officers. Did your mother teach you that if you encounter something scary, you should find the police?" Shen Xin asked with a smile.

Liu Yuting shook her head, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "My mother taught me that all police officers are bad people, and that I should stay away from them if I encounter them."

Shen Xin silently rolled his eyes.

"Your teacher must have taught you that police officers aren't bad people, they just catch bad people," Shen Xin added.

Liu Yuting gripped her pencil and nodded.

Shen Xin said "Good boy/girl," and then asked, "Can Uncle ask you a few questions?"

After Liu Yuting nodded in confirmation, Shen Xin asked, "Does Tingting remember that your father raised a parrot?" Liu Yuting is eight years old now. She was four years old when Liu Laibin was murdered, so she can remember things now.

When Liu Laibin was mentioned, Liu Yuting smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I remember, that parrot was very beautiful and could talk. I was the one who named it, Blue."

"Your name is Blue, so you must have seen that movie, right?"

Liu Yuting nodded excitedly, saying that Liu Laibin had taken her to see it.

It's clear that Liu Laibin dotes on his daughter.

However, when Shen Xin asked her where Bru was now, Liu Yuting shook her head, her eyes dimming as she said, "I haven't seen Bru since my father died."

He paused for a moment, then held up a finger and said, "I saw it once more in my dream."

Shen Xin sighed silently, not caring.

Such a rare parrot couldn't possibly be lost.

"Sweetie, go do your homework."

Shen Xin also took out a business card and told Liu Yuting to hide it, so that if she encountered any problems she couldn't solve, she could ask her uncle and aunt to call him for help.

While giving these instructions, Shen Xin also turned to look at Wang Genping.

Wang Genping's expression changed slightly, and he chuckled awkwardly without saying a word.

After leaving Shi Yanhua's house, Ding Yuwei couldn't help but ask, "Shen Xin, why did you ask about that parrot? Could it be... that you suspect the parrot saw the murderer?"

She frowned and said, "Parrots are very intelligent and can talk, but in China, it seems that animals cannot be used as witnesses. Even abroad, they can only be used as supplementary indirect evidence."

"You're overthinking it. I was just asking casually." Shen Xin didn't elaborate, and instead invited Ding Yuwei into the car to take her home.

She doesn't live far away either.

Ding Yuwei didn't think much of it, but gave Shen Xin a meaningful look.

She had heard people mention that the case Shen Xin was transferred to the criminal investigation team was solved by finding the suspect using a dog.

After getting on the bus, Ding Yuwei hesitated for a moment and then said thank you.

She thought Shen Xin handled it very well.

If it were her, her first thought would have been to run back and warn Wang Genping.

In retrospect, it was indeed ill-considered.

Shen Xin didn't say much and took her home.

Hengmei Jiayuan.

It's not far from the branch office.

The next day, Shen Xinxian reported the results of the previous day's visit to Chen Chao.

Chen Chao didn't say anything. He clearly understood that unsolved cases were like that; they couldn't be solved immediately just by reopening them.

"Don't overthink it, just do it your own way, treat it as practice."

Chen Chao gave his final instructions.

The reason he suggested Shen Xinlai handle unsolved cases was because of Wu Jiawang's case; he felt that Shen Xinlai always had a knack for imaginative and unconventional thinking.

Perhaps they can offer some unusual insights.

The existing cases are all easy to handle and not difficult at all.

Zhao Tianxing stayed up all night yesterday for an arrest operation and is catching up on sleep.

Shen Xin didn't rush out. Instead, he checked the latest information about these people based on the records in the case file.

Some have not been updated.

Ten years later, a national population database was established, which took several years to complete, but the coverage was still not comprehensive enough.

For example, if you don't update your information at the police station, then the information will be incomplete.

Much of the information from 10 years ago was also not entered.

Therefore, the available information is limited.

For example, Sun Min, a cleaner.

She is from Linshui, Pingzhou Province, south of Ningjiang.

She came to Nanjiang to work with her husband. After the case occurred in 13, she worked in Nanjiang for almost two more years before returning to her hometown of Linshui at the end of 15. There have been no updates since then.

The situation was similar for Fan Huizhen, the finance officer.

The suspect was from Fushan, Kang Province in Southwest China. After the incident, the only information available was that he returned to his hometown in Fushan.

After all, they are just ordinary people, unlike criminals with criminal records.

So after checking them one by one, no abnormalities were found.

Ordinary people either went back to their hometowns or went to other cities.

After all, four years have passed.

This makes it somewhat inconvenient for Shen Xin to contact them again for further inquiries; he can only do so by phone.

"Should we ask Guo Chunping first?" Ding Yuwei asked.

It refers to the security manager of Jin Hui Building at the time.

He made a statement regarding the circuit malfunction and its escalation.

Population information shows that although Guo Chunping is from Nanqiao, Changxi Province, he continued to work in Nanjiang after the incident. The last information update was three months ago, when he renewed his residence permit.

Shen Xin thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, I want to visit Officer Qin first."

That is, Qin Chuanwang.

Qin Chuanwang might know the whereabouts of that parrot.
