Chapter 306: Chapter 202: It’s Done, Poisoning the Rat (Two-in-One)

"I slept so well..."

Green opened his eyes from a deep slumber.

He first glanced around in a daze before realizing, "Is this..."

"The case is closed."

Brian was driving, his voice soft, "Yesterday, you were knocked out by that monster’s sonic attack, but I took care of the creature afterward. This case is over. Don’t talk about last night’s events willy-nilly. If anyone tries to pry, just give me a call."

Hearing Brian’s words, it took a while for Green to remember what had happened the previous night.

A look of relief flashed across his face.

Thank goodness Brian, the big man, was there last night; otherwise, I’d probably be toast.

"Boss Brian, thank you—I owe you my life!"

Green said gratefully.

Brian shrugged, "You’re my guy, I’ve got your back, no need for thanks."

Without Green as bait yesterday, he wouldn’t have tricked the monster into losing its accurate alertness, leading it into the neurotoxin trap.

That stuff is non-directional and indiscriminate—it’s not easy to control.

Green, unaware that he had been used as bait, felt even more moved by Brian’s words and his loyalty to Brian deepened even further.

Back in the city.

Brian let Green go and have a good day off.

Anesthetic gases have side effects.

Each person has a different tolerance, but after deep anesthesia, symptoms similar to memory damage can occur. Brian planned to extort Benjamin, to get them to cough up one or two tubes of Enhancement Reagent.

Brian didn’t need it, but he could give it to Green.

One man’s rise could lift all his companions.

Green was a good guy. Increasing his strength would be more beneficial for Brian down the line, even if just to use him as bait for a little longer, right?

...

Noon.

Brian met with Susan and Shi San.

Shi San, dressed by Susan’s female best friend, looked quite sassy in a little moose dog outfit, complete with two antler covers on its head.

It gazed at Brian with mournful eyes, rhythmically knocking the dog bowl on the ground: "Take me back home..."

Listening to the rhythmic knocking,

Brian was startled, "Is that Morse Code?"

Susan nodded proudly, "Right, Shi San is way smarter than Caroline’s stupid parrot. I feel it’s smarter than many humans, so impressive!"

Caroline’s parrot, available from NW, was a specially bred intellect, enhanced with a matching Enhancement Reagent, as smart as an eight- or nine-year-old child.

In front of Shi San, it was swiftly outmatched.

Last night, the parrot actually started scratching Shi San, making Caroline green with envy.

She couldn’t understand why her acquired parrot turned into a submissive bird to a dog.

Susan laughed so hard last night that her stomach hurt.

She loved Shi San too much.

Susan even thought, if one day Brian broke up with her, she would definitely fight for custody of Shi San. If Brian agreed, she might even open a few less rounds on him.

Brian was clueless about the messy thoughts in Susan’s mind.

He looked at Shi San with contrite amusement, chuckling, "Shi San, it’s good for you to learn things while you’re young..."

Bang bang~

Shi San knocked again: "Bad big dog!"

Having knocked, its head tilted slightly, eyes glancing skywards at a 45-degree angle, the epitome of indignation.

Brian: ...

His gaze turned curiously toward Susan, "What do you guys normally do at home in the evenings?"

Susan replied innocently, "I usually practice fighting for a while, then take a bath and go to bed. But Caroline likes soap operas, and Shi San seems to enjoy them too. It can even turn on the TV and change channels by itself."

Brian suddenly understood.

No wonder Shi San was behaving like this.

What do you do when a child misbehaves?

A spanking usually does the trick.

Susan wanted to dote on Shi San, but Brian caught her and together they disciplined them both.

Half an hour later.

Both human and dog had clearer eyes.

...

After some fun and games.

Brian inquired about the case situation on Susan’s side.

There were three cases at the time.

Brian and Green handled a deserted car disappearance case.

Susan, finding it boring, took Shi San to investigate a case of food poisoning at a Hua Country businessman’s Japanese restaurant.

Seeing Brian inquire,

Susan’s face showed a speechless expression, "It’s already solved. It was an easy case to crack. As soon as Shi San sniffed around, it found the culprit."

"What happened?"

Brian asked curiously.

"A giant rat half a meter long. I never imagined a rat could be so big, its tail alone was nearly a meter long, looking like a giant otter. At the time, Shi San led me and a few patrolling officers to pry open a sewer manhole cover. Down there, we found a lot of rats. These rats were well-fed by the restaurants on the commercial street.

We hadn’t yet suspected the rat as the culprit. We were even puzzled why Shi San would lead us there until we found a stash of rat poison collected in the rats’ nest.

Can you imagine our faces then?

These rats actually gathered the rat poison in a shoebox.

After testing, we confirmed that this rat poison was the substance that poisoned the victims. Right away, we installed cameras in the kitchens of nearby restaurants. This morning, we checked last night’s surveillance and discovered a giant rat over half a meter long, carrying rat poison around several Hua Country-owned restaurants, again causing food poisoning.
