Chapter 319 Evil Cannot Prevail Over Good Xia Zhining was silent for a moment, her expression somewhat downcast: "Perhaps... I shouldn't have started doing animal live-streamed medical consultations in the first place?"
"Professor Lin was dismissed two months ago, and that's when he started plotting to steal reagents."
"He must have researched those popular live stream clips online and found out that I can communicate with animals."
Ji Shuyun raised his hand and gently ruffled his sister's hair: "Ningning, don't say that."
"Think about it, if so many people didn't know you could communicate with animals, what would happen to those people who were saved because of your live streams—"
"Shen Jiaer, who was poisoned by the nanny, and Jiang Xingyou, who hid a pervert in the closet... are likely to die, and their animal companions are also likely to be lost."
Ji Shuyun earnestly analyzed for Xia Zhining: "Your existence is equivalent to a civilian animal emergency response team."
"As soon as everyone notices that something is wrong with a small animal, they know who to contact."
Officer Xie, standing nearby, nodded in agreement: "When we police solve cases, we often encounter scenes that are beyond repair."
"The case is solved, the murderer is caught, but the person... can't come back."
As he spoke, the faces of the victims' families kept flashing through his mind, and his voice grew a little somber: "Some say that the passing of a loved one is a lifelong, damp sorrow."
"You saved not only the victim, but also the entire family behind them."
"The more people know you exist, the more lives you can save and the more potential crimes you can deter."
Xia Zhining raised her eyes, her brows still furrowed: "But now, with Professor Lin in this situation..."
"Will there be more criminals in the future who, like him, guard against small animals when committing crimes, or even harm small animals?"
Upon hearing this, Officer Xie couldn't help but shake his head.
He picked up the old-fashioned enamel mug on the table, poured Xia Zhining a cup of hot tea, and pushed it in front of her.
“Expert Xia,” he said with the gentle kindness of an elder, “do you… think of criminals as the cunning supervillains in movies?”
He counted them on his fingers, one by one:
"Who is Professor Lin? He is the former head of the highest-level national scientific research project and a genuine PhD in biology."
"He can get professional sonic equipment to scare away birds, and he can develop special agents that make animals within a radius of several miles avoid him."
Officer Xie picked up his teacup, blew on the steam, and looked up at Xia Zhining:
"How many people like that can you count on your fingers in the entire Dragon Kingdom?"
"The vast majority of criminals don't even know where their food money will come from next week."
"You expect them to have the brains and the ability to do some kind of counter-animal surveillance?"
In the steamy atmosphere, Officer Xie's smile was simple yet resolute.
Xia Zhining was enlightened.
If the world were full of highly intelligent criminals like Professor Lin, it would have descended into chaos long ago.
How can ordinary people survive?
What most people want is simply a peaceful life, and for themselves and their families to be well.
Criminals are always a minority.
Those with top-notch knowledge and the ability to design sophisticated crimes are even fewer.
Officer Xie picked up his teacup, his tone carrying the seasoned experience honed over twenty years of criminal investigation:
"I've worked in criminal investigation for twenty years, and I can tell you a reality: over 60% of homicide cases start with people banging on the table and arguing. In the heat of the moment, they grab whatever's at hand and smash it—"
"At that point, I was so angry that I didn't even think: 'Wait, let me check if there are any cats watching nearby.'"
“As for those who premeditatedly harm others,” Officer Xie paused, “they used to worry about two things: not being caught on camera and not being seen by others.”
"Now that we know you exist, we have to keep an eye on cats, dogs, and birds."
"Before killing someone, shouldn't you write a 'Survey Report on the Surrounding Animals' first?"
Xia Zhining's eyelashes trembled, and a look of realization flashed in her eyes.
"Even if you get rid of all the animals in front of you, what if a stray cat jumps out from over the wall and runs away just as you're about to start doing something?"
