Chen Chao accompanied Shen Xin out of the detention area.
"Xiaoshen, what's this about the mongrel Li Jin mentioned?" he asked as they walked.
Shen Xin explained the situation.
He also briefly mentioned his analysis at the time.
For example, that the human traffickers might have killed the dog when they abducted Wu Jiawang.
"So that's how it is."
This detail wasn't recorded in the sub-bureau's case file.
He stopped, lit another cigarette, and thought for a moment before saying, "Shen Xin, Li Jin said he saw this dog. Do you have any way to help me find it?"
Previously, if an investigation led to a dog, Chen Chao would have found it utterly absurd, a complete joke.
But after witnessing Shen Xin use a stray cat to find Li Jin and crack the case, Chen Chao's tolerance for such wild, unconventional investigation methods had increased significantly.
No matter how bizarre the method, as long as it solved the case, it was fine.
