The group of lions and tigers watched Chen Xuan leave the park with their own eyes. They all let out a sigh of relief, as if their entire bodies had relaxed.
In the past, they had always wanted to leave this small place and return to the forest and grassland to run and hunt freely.
But now, they suddenly realized that the outside world was very dangerous.
This place was a little small, but at least it was safe!
"Tongtong!"
The little girl's parents had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw her come out, they immediately rushed forward and hugged the child in their arms.
The man hugged the child tightly, afraid that his daughter would fall out of his arms again.
"Officer, thank you."
The man handed the child to his wife and knelt down to Chen Xuan with a plop.
If anything happened to his daughter, he would probably never be able to get out of it in his life.
Chen Xuan was shocked and hurriedly helped the man up."I'm a police officer. This is what I should do.”
The corners of Li Dong and the others 'mouths twitched. Big brother, this really wasn't what the police should do!
Without a gun in his hand, he would die if he jumped down!
Do you really think everyone is as fierce as you?
Although they did not understand why the lion and tiger were afraid of Chen Xuan and would lie on the ground and let Chen Xuan slap them, they definitely did not dare to try.
This thing was really too easy to try!
"Officer, thank you for saving the child. I'm really grateful. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened today.”
Director Zhao also thanked him profusely.
It was a blessing in disguise that things did not turn out to be the worst.
Chen Xuan looked at him and asked,"Director Zhao, tell me what happened in the garden."”
Director Zhao was stunned and did not react for a moment."Officer, what are you talking about?"
"Humph!" "You didn't report it when the time limit expired. Do you think that even if someone finds out, you'll at most be fined?" Chen Xuan snorted. Let me tell you, this matter is already suspected of endangering public safety and will be punished!”
Director Zhao immediately understood what Chen Xuan was talking about.
He looked at Chen Xuan in shock. How did this policeman know?
He had already asked all the staff in the park who knew about this matter not to tell anyone else.
How did he know?
"What is Brother Chen talking about?"
"It doesn't seem to be the same as a child falling into the Lion Tiger Garden.”
"Didn't Brother Chen say before that there's something wrong with Director Zhao? Now it seems that there's really something wrong.”
Wang Tao and the others had yet to immerse themselves in Chen Xuan's miraculous feat of successfully saving the little girl when they saw Chen Xuan being so strict.
For a moment, even ordinary people like them did not dare to look at Chen Xuan's sharp eyes.
Zhang Jianmin narrowed his eyes and stared at Director Zhao, whose eyes were wavering. He said,"This Director Zhao is indeed problematic.”
"Xiao Chen, what's wrong?" Li Dong and the others quickly asked.
Chen Xuan shook his head.”
"I…I don't know what you're talking about.”Director Zhao's face was a little pale, but he still gritted his teeth and refused to say anything.
"Alright, are you playing dumb?" Chen Xuan nodded and said to Li Dong, Brother Li, contact Inspector Li."
"Uh…what do you want to contact Inspector Li for?”
There had to be a reason.
"Director Li, please help me apply for a search warrant. I want to search this zoo!" Chen Xuan said.”
Li Dong's brows furrowed as he lowered his voice and said,""Xiao Chen, what is it?”
"We have to search first to be sure," Chen Xuan said.”
Even though he knew that an animal had escaped from the zoo, he couldn't say it directly.
Everything had to be based on evidence, especially since he was a police officer and was broadcasting live in front of tens of millions of people. He had to have evidence.
"I'll contact Li Suo now."
They realized that this matter was very serious.
Otherwise, with Chen Xuan's personality, he would not have applied for a search warrant.
Li Dong went to contact him, and Chen Xuan continued,"Director Zhao, if you confess, you'll be lenient. If you take the initiative to explain the matter earlier, the judicial system will take it into account when they sentence you later. However, if you are stubborn and continue to act dumb, when the search warrant is issued and the evidence is conclusive, don't blame us for being merciless when we sue!”
Director Zhao didn't say a word. He was very flustered.
There was a voice in her heart that kept telling her that she couldn't say anything. He didn't know anything. He was lying to her!
At this moment, he no longer had a backbone. Otherwise, if he thought about it carefully, he would understand a principle.
If Chen Xuan did not know anything, how would he dare to apply for a search warrant?
Moreover, what he said might seem confusing to outsiders, but to him, it was equivalent to a thin layer of white paper.
"Xiao Chen, Director Li wants you to answer the phone.”Li Dong handed over his phone.
Chen Xuan took the phone and said,"Li Suo…"
"Xiao Chen, what's going on?"
Chen Xuan glanced at the drone and made a gesture. He turned around and walked to a deserted place. He said,"There are wild animals running out of the zoo, but this Director Zhao didn't report it.”
"What kind of beast is it?"
"Tigers or lions. As for whether there are other animals, we still have to check the surveillance cameras in the park.”
"Hiss ~" Li Suo sucked in a cold breath. Are you sure there are tigers and lions?"
"Yes!"
He didn't dare to say anything else, but there were definitely tigers and lions.
This was the information he had obtained from Tiger.
Li Suo pondered for two seconds and said,"Search immediately. I'll send the search warrant over immediately!" This matter can't be delayed. I'll bear the consequences. Go search immediately. Whoever dares to stop me will be handcuffed. Those who don't cooperate with the investigation will also be handcuffed!”
"Good!" "Director Li, I suggest that you invite Bureau Chief Ji over. Otherwise, it will be difficult to coordinate with the traffic department."”
"I know. Go and search first."
The tiger and lion ran out. There were mountains and villages nearby.
If they couldn't protect the residents of the nearby villages and the people who lived nearby immediately, if an accident happened, it would be a major event that would kill people!
After hanging up, Inspector Lee immediately called Bureau Chief Ji.
Although Chen Xuan did not have any evidence yet, he was only relying on his analysis and guesses.
However, he believed in Chen Xuan.
Many times, when such things happened, many people would not take it seriously without evidence.
This created a contradiction.
With evidence, it meant that danger was imminent, and they would definitely take immediate measures to remedy it.
Without evidence, very few people dared to make this decision.
Because if he made a mistake, it would turn into a joke, and at the same time, his superiors would question his ability.
Moreover, the manpower and financial costs of mobilizing a large number of people would be wasted.
Li Suo had unconditional trust in Chen Xuan, which was why he dared to make this call.
"Bureau Chief Ji, something happened!"
Inspector Lee quickly explained the situation. After listening, Chief Ji asked,""Are you sure?"
"Xiao Chen has already gone to search. Director Zhao doesn't admit it, but I believe that Xiao Chen's judgment won't be wrong!”
"Chief Ji, this matter cannot be delayed. Moreover, it is better to believe it than not. Otherwise, it will be too late if an accident happens!”
"I understand." "Bring some people over immediately." Chief Ji's voice was much more serious.”
After hanging up the phone, Bureau Chief Ji contacted the police station and traffic police brigade near Lanting Lake and asked them to send someone over immediately.
Then, he dialed the chief's number.
If the truth was true, the consequences were not something a zoo director could bear.
If someone was injured, it meant that a leader had to stand up and take responsibility.
If the injury was not serious, then at most, he would just criticize the mayor.
If someone died, the market would also be affected.
If the death toll reached more than 10 people, it would be a major accident. At that time, it was uncertain whether the mayor would still be able to sit firmly in his position.
Therefore, when Shi Zhang received the call, his anger almost instantly rose.
It was just that he had been in a high position for a long time and had been well-mannered for some time. If it were anyone else, they would have long cursed on the phone.
"If there are any clues, we have to investigate. First, seal off the zoo and investigate the implementation. If it's true, immediately seal off the escape routes of the animals. Go to the scene immediately. I'll be there right away.”
……
Chen Xuan walked back and returned the phone. Li Dong asked,"What do you mean?"
Director Zhao also looked over. He was nervous, as if he was waiting for the verdict.
Chen Xuan swept a cold glance at Director Zhao and the others and said coldly,"Search!"
"Officer…"
"Director Zhao, please cooperate!" Chen Xuan did not give him a chance to speak.”
"If any of you know anything, you can tell us now." If we investigate later and confirm that you know but don't report it, it's a crime!”
"Endangering public safety, starting from three years! If there were any casualties during this period, it would start from ten years!”
"Think carefully!"
Chen Xuan threw out a King Bomb. When the few of them heard this, their faces suddenly turned pale.
"Damn it, what are they hiding?”
"F * ck, hurry up and say it!"
"Brother Chen has already applied for a search warrant. It's definitely not a small matter. I think it's very likely an economic crime.”
"The penalty for economic crimes isn't that high.”
"It's possible that he sold animals privately. I remember that the sentence for smuggling is very high.”
Everyone's attention successfully shifted from Chen Xuan's deterrence of the lions and tigers to the higher-ups of the zoo.
Director Zhao still gritted his teeth and refused to say anything. However, the other executives were shaken by Chen Xuan's words and finally could not resist.
"Officer, I'll talk!"
"Old Wu!" Director Zhao roared and pulled his arm with all his might.
"Let go!"
Li Dong grabbed Director Zhao's arm and pulled hard. He scowled and said coldly,""What are you doing? Threatening? Do you think we police officers are useless?"
"Speak," Chen Xuan said.
Manager Wu glanced at Director Zhao. The latter was furious, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.
However, when he thought that he was not the main person in charge of this matter, and that Manager Wu did not want to go to jail, he did not care about anything else and said it directly.
"An animal escaped from our zoo.”
"What?" The pupils of Li Dong and the others constricted, and the surrounding tourists were also shocked. They immediately felt that the empty park had become filled with danger.
Director Zhao was like a deflated balloon as he fell to the ground.
It's over. If word got out, everyone would know.
"F * ck! Did the animals run out?"
"What kind of animal ran out?"
"Is this zoo crazy? Why didn't they report such a big matter?”
"What is the director thinking? Was there sh * t in his brain? How dare he hide it?"
"Pa!" Wang Tao slammed the table hard and said seriously and angrily,"This is nonsense! How could he hide such a big thing from the zoo? How could he dare to hide it? Who would bear the responsibility if innocent people were killed or injured?”
From the reactions of Director Zhao and the others, as well as Chen Xuan's attitude, it was almost obvious that the animal that ran away was definitely not a harmless little animal like a monkey or a rabbit.
It was definitely a ferocious beast!
"What animal escaped?" Chen Xuan asked very calmly.
"One tiger, two lions, three leopards, two wolves, two brown bears, and a few monkeys.”
"So many?" Even with Chen Xuan's calmness, he was shocked when he heard so many numbers.
He thought that at most two or three tigers and lions had escaped, but there were more than ten of them, and there were all kinds of animals.
"Why are there so many of them?"
" This..." President Wu didn't know what to say for a moment, but on second thought, he had already said so much. It didn't seem to make any difference.
"There was a circus that was going to perform. They borrowed animals from our zoo and put them in cages that night. However, the staff was careless and did not lock them tightly, allowing them to escape.”
"So many cages aren't locked?"
"Monkey opened the lock."
“……”
Chen Xuan was completely speechless. This was a typical unlucky person who could not even drink water.
"When did this happen?"
"Two to three days."
"Two days or three days?"
"Three days."
"Take me to the surveillance camera."
"This way." President Wu walked in front and led the way.
On the way, he asked,"Officer, it's not my fault. I wanted to call the police at that time, but…"
"Director Zhao told us not to say anything," another executive said.”
Director Zhao's face turned green when he heard this. This wave of four executives had sold him out, but he could not refute them.
"Why hide it? Do you know how dangerous this is? Ah?"
"As a senior executive of the zoo, you actually hid such a thing from me. If you hurt someone, who will bear the responsibility?”
"It's been three days. You've been hiding it for three whole days. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?”
Li Dong, Brother Zhang, and the others cursed, not giving them any face at all.
A few executives lowered their heads. Finally, someone said,"Isn't it almost May Day? Director Zhao is worried that it will affect the flow of customers.”
"You guys…"
These words were like a bucket of hot oil, igniting the anger in Li Dong and the others 'hearts again. They were so angry that they could not even speak.
For the sake of profit, he dared to hide such a big matter and not report it. His courage was simply boundless!
On the other side, the mayor's and secretary's phones were ringing non-stop. After hearing the details of the incident, the faces of the top two people in Jin Ling City darkened.
If someone was injured by a wild beast, someone had to stand up and take responsibility.
Director Zhao was still thinking about using his connections to find someone to suppress the matter as much as possible.
He took a few steps back and took out his phone to text someone he knew.
At first, the other party did not know what was going on. After understanding it for a while, he did not even reply to the message and pretended not to know this person.
This matter had been discovered by Chen Xuan. Although it had not yet become a trending topic, it was foreseeable that it would not be long before this matter would become a trending topic.
Under such circumstances, no one could protect him, and no one dared to.
He could only deal with it in a business-like manner.
"Buzz ~"
Li Dong's cell phone rang. It was from Li Suo.
"Hello, Li Suo."
"Control these people. The colleagues from the nearby police station will go over immediately. Remember, you must control them and don't let them escape.”
"Alright, I understand."
Li Dong also realized that this matter seemed to have really started to blow up.
He hadn't even looked at the surveillance cameras, but he had heard from the executives that they had to be controlled first.
Soon, they arrived at the monitoring room.
The surveillance footage was pulled out, and the process of the incident was very clear.
After these animals were knocked into the cages, they were placed outside the park, waiting for the circus to come and take over the next day.
At midnight, the iron cage containing the monkeys was opened. Three macaques ran out of the cage and ran around.
One of the monkeys actually opened the cage that contained the tiger and lion.
This scene stunned Li Dong and the others.
"Has this monkey become a spirit?"
Chen Xuan shook his head. This situation was very common.
Primates were smart to begin with. Moreover, these monkeys lived in the zoo and were no strangers to things like door locks.
Moreover, Chen Xuan guessed that it was definitely not the first time that these animals had been lent to the zoo. Monkey had probably seen the staff unlock the door several times.
Otherwise, no matter how strong the monkey's learning ability was, it would not be able to learn without a demonstration.
After looking at the surveillance footage, Chen Xuan opened the map and observed the location of the zoo.
The zoo was next to a lake. The lake was Lanting Lake, which was connected to the Yangtze River.
The mountain was Nanshan Hill, and there was a national 4A grade forest park inside.
From the location of the zoo and Nanshan hill, as well as the habits of the animals, they must have run into the mountains.
"Bring her back." Chen Xuan stood up and said,"Brother Li, bring the person back to the station first."”
"I want my lawyer to come over!" Director Zhao suddenly said.
"Do you think you're acting in a TV series?”
"Xiao Chen, the mayor and the secretary are on their way here. Let's wait for them to come."”
Brother Zhang said," This matter has already exceeded the scope of our handling. Li said that we should first maintain order here. We'll talk about other things when he arrives."”
Chen Xuan thought for a moment. Three days had already passed, so he did not need this much time.
If something really happened, it would happen sooner or later, so he didn't say anything.
Fifteen minutes later, the police officers from the nearby police station arrived. The chief led the team and everyone was equipped with guns.
Half an hour later, Li Suo arrived with his men.
At the same time, this matter had also reached the top of the trending searches on various forums and websites.
As long as they went online, they could see the relevant news everywhere. Almost the entire country was paying attention to it.
Under such terrifying popularity, the pressure of the top two in Jinling was imaginable.
If it was handled well, it might become a model for others to learn from.
If they didn't handle it well, or if there were casualties, it would have a certain impact on their careers.
40 minutes later, Chief Ji and the first and second in command finally arrived.
After they received the news, they immediately came over. Unfortunately, the distance was too far. 40 minutes was already their fastest time.
On the way, they were also discussing a solution.
In the end, he decided on a few necessary points.
First, ensure the absolute safety of the nearby residents. No one is allowed to get hurt.
Second, immediately investigate all the residents nearby to see if anyone has gone missing.
Third, under the premise of ensuring the safety of the residents, all the escaped animals were captured and brought back alive.
After all, the animals were not at fault, but the zoo.
If they killed the animals, they would still be scolded.
Fourth, no one is allowed to cover up Director Zhao and the others. They must be dealt with severely and made public in a timely manner.
So on the way here, they contacted the local director and requested that the tourists in the zoo be evacuated safely. At the same time, they sent people to investigate the nearby residents.
On the other side, the armed police were also mobilized and came with them.
The tourists were arranged to be sent to the transferred bus. After they were safely sent away, a few cars drove into the zoo and stopped outside the surveillance room.
"Chu City's Zhang and Secretary Xie are here!" Director Li received the call in advance and brought everyone out to welcome them.
As soon as she went out, she saw a few leaders getting out of the car.
Secretary Xie walked up and the first thing he did was to hold Chen Xuan's hand."Officer Chen, it's all thanks to you. Without your sharp eyes, I'm afraid this matter would still have been hidden.”
Then, he looked at the armed police captain.”
"This is our duty as armed police."”
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Xuan faintly. There was a hint of admiration in his gaze.
"Captain Xu, how long will it take to finish searching Nanshan Hill?”Chu City Zhang asked.
"We can't search the entire mountain in such a short time," Captain Xu said. According to my estimation, if we want to complete the search within a day, we will need at least 4,000 people. In addition, we will need our colleagues from the technical department to control the drones to assist us.”
Four thousand people…
This was a huge number.
"Chief Ji!" "I'll leave the manpower to you. Are you confident?" Secretary Xie asked.”
Bureau Chief Ji felt bitter, but under the circumstances, he could only bite the bullet."I'm confident!"
He looked at the policemen in front of him who were between the ages of twenty and forty and said,"Everyone, check your equipment before entering the mountain! Bullets and guns must be brought along, and the safety was off! If you discover them, contact them immediately. If you're attacked by tigers or lions, shoot them directly! Your first priority is to protect your own safety, followed by the safety of these animals. Do you understand?”
"Understood!"
Hundreds of police officers shouted.
Bureau Chief Ji didn't care about the impact. He only knew that these were ordinary police officers, and their lives were more valuable than a group of animals.
However, even if they were fully prepared, there was still the possibility of casualties.
However, no one could avoid such a thing.
"Chief Ji, I have a suggestion." Li Suo suddenly said.
"Tell me."
"I think we can invite some animal experts over to help with the investigation and research. For example, we can judge the direction of the animals through their footprints or habits.”"That's a good idea." Chief Ji nodded and looked at the drone that was broadcasting live. An idea came to his mind.
They could save a lot of time by directly asking the production team to help announce it.
At this moment, Chen Xuan suddenly spoke.
"Chief Ji, I can find these animals.”
