Yang Qi met his Eldest Senior Brother's scrutinizing gaze and answered calmly.
"Xiaojiu's sense of smell and intelligence far exceed those of an ordinary animal. It has helped the police solve multiple cases, and its abilities have been verified many times. I'm willing to stand by my words."
The Eldest Senior Brother watched Yang Qi for a few seconds, then slowly nodded, his gaze shifting to Song Chunfang.
"Teacher, what do you think?"
"..."
Song Chunfang took a deep breath, calming her turbulent emotions.
She looked at Yang Qi, her eyes filled with affection, yet also a gravity she had never shown before.
"Xiaoqi, this news is too sudden, and too important. Teacher thanks you. However, a scent trail alone isn't enough. We need more concrete evidence, even if it's just droppings, fur, tracks, or a blurry image from an infrared camera."
"I understand, Teacher."
