Chapter 22: Walking the Dog

As soon as the lights were turned on, the dogs in the village barked, and the four people standing at the entrance of the village on the seaside side seemed to be in a large dog factory, which was much louder than the sound of cars in the city.

"Can you tell how many dogs there are?" Xiao Ai asked Xu Tian.

"Are you testing me again? How is this possible? Xu Tian said.

"Discerning voices is also a skill that a detective should have." As she spoke, Ai closed her eyes and began to distinguish in her mind how many dogs were barking in the village.

Xu Tian also closed his eyes and tried it, but Xu Tian couldn't find a way to distinguish the sound, in Xu Tian's mind, there was only a group of dogs barking loudly, and he couldn't tell how many dogs were barking.

"One hundred and twenty dogs are barking, and nearly a quarter of them are already on the verge of exhaustion." Xiao Ai opened his eyes and said.

"Can you really tell how many dogs are barking?" Xu Tian asked the letter.

"Don't believe me? There is a chance that you can count, it's just listening, and then it's time to test your memory. Xiao Ai said.

"Who the hell are you?" Xu Tian said suspiciously.

"Why do you ask? Do you think I'm suspicious? Xiao Ai said.

"You are really different from before, as if you have changed a person, which one is the real Xiao Ai?" Xu Tian asked.

"Every Xiao Ai you see is real, you don't have to doubt it, as long as you do your best." Xiao Ai said.

At this time, some villagers had already come out of their yards with their dogs, and two or three yellow light bulbs were installed on the walls of each house, and the streets of the village suddenly became brighter.

Immediately afterwards, villagers came out of the house with their dogs, they didn't seem to come out to find food, it looked like they were walking, many people saw Xu Tian and his party at the entrance of the village, but everyone seemed to be unwary of Xu Tian.

"Are these villagers out to walk their dogs?" Yang Qi said.

"Just ask." Xiao Ai's tone of voice made people sound as if he was accusing Yang Qi of talking nonsense.

"No, the villagers are all walking in the direction of the dog factory." Xu Tian said.

"Don't move yet! Look at the situation. Teacher Jin said.

In less than three minutes, almost all the villagers came out of their homes, and Xu Tian estimated that there were about fifty or sixty people.

"Fifty-eight people, no children." Xiao Ai said on the side.

"You can count the villagers who are so mobile and dense?" Xu Tian asked in surprise.

"It's a test of eyesight, haven't you trained?" Xiao Ai said.

"I ......" Xu Tian didn't know how to respond for a while.

"It seems that your basic skills are not enough, and the only thing you can do is logical reasoning, but your logical reasoning is like a worker on the assembly line in the factory now, there are too many people who can do your process, and once a compound talent appears, your job will be kicked out by others at any time." Xiao Ai said.

"Little girl." Teacher Jin said. "Don't underestimate Xu Tian, if he can only reason logically, then Lao Chen and I won't have high hopes for him, I still believe in Xu Tian."

"I don't understand your thoughts, I only believe what I see." Xiao Ai said.

"Xu Tian's specialty is to be able to solve cases with very little evidence, which is inferior to Xu Tian in many criminal investigation professionals, I dare to say that the only person who can compete with Xu Tian in China is Li Zhitong." Teacher Jin said.

"That's because your insight is too short, without any clues, the highest record for quickly solving a case is five minutes and twenty-seven seconds, and this record is held by Li Zhitong." Xiao Ai said.

"Now that you know, how dare you say it?" Teacher Jin said.

"But I've seen people who have solved cases after reading the case files, and there is more than one case, and his detection rate is 100 percent." Xiao Ai said.

"I know the person you're talking about is Wu Cheng, who is known as Orange Cat Detective, right?" Teacher Jin said.

"You know?" Xiao Ai asked.

"I've heard of it, and I also have some relationship with Wu Cheng, I'm one of the people who knows Wu Cheng's details, you can't fool me in this regard." Teacher Jin said.

"Look, the villagers have already walked into the dog factory, do you want to follow!" Xu Tian said.

"You can't go everybody, so be it! Xu Tian and I went to follow the villagers, Xiao Ai and Yang Qi were guarding the village, and shouted loudly as soon as there was a situation, we should be able to hear it. Teacher Jin said.

After that, Xu Tian and Mr. Jin immediately followed, and there was an iron gate at the corner of the village passage on the other side, which was a gate to the dog factory, and most of the villagers had already entered the dog factory when Xu Tian and Mr. Jin caught up.

"It's a little strange that the dogs don't bark anymore." Xu Tian said.

"There is definitely something wrong with these people who don't sleep at night and come to the dog factory, the bolt may be lying, and there must be a reason why the villagers sleep during the day and act at night." Teacher Jin said.

"By the way, I don't seem to notice that the bolt is following these villagers towards the dog factory." Xu Tian said.

"Embolis...... Not good! Teacher Jin suddenly turned around and wanted to run towards the bolt's house.

Xu Tian also turned around, but as soon as the two of them turned around, they saw the bolt running over.

"It's you! If you don't sleep during the day, can you stand it at night? The bolt ran over and said.

"Bolt, what are the villagers doing in the dog factory?" Xu Tian asked.

"Walk the dog! This is what the villagers do every night, only the dog factory can walk the dogs, and everyone doesn't want to pollute the seaside, so they all run the dog factory. Bolt said.

"The dog factory is now a place to walk dogs?" Xu Tian asked.

"Yes! There are people who take shifts every day to clean up the dog poop, and this is a place to walk the dog, nothing else. With that, he plunged headlong into the iron gate.

"Are we overthinking? The plug makes a lot of sense. Teacher Jin said.

"Do you believe the words of the plug? I think this kid is like a bunch of people in the dark, he doesn't know anything, but he knows the surface of most things. Xu Tian said.

"I'll go in and take a look, you're guarding outside, and you'll run before I come out in five minutes." Teacher Jin said.

"The villagers should have no ill will towards us, many villagers who live on the seaside side have seen us just now." Xu Tian said.

"Don't be careless, I haven't heard a dog bark yet, it's definitely a problem." Teacher Jin said.

"Oh well! Be careful. Xu Tian admonished.

When Mr. Jin walked into the iron gate of the dog factory, the scene inside was completely beyond Mr. Jin's expectations.
