409 Graceful Scaling (1/2)

The job of the inspection team was just to detect and report threats. The follow-up actions didn't concern Fang Zhao and the others. Whale Island Region still had their internal police department and relevant personnel to handle the next step of the investigations. Fang Zhao learnt from Inspection Team Captain Zhao Chao about the culprit being apprehended only the next afternoon. The cylinder that had been found by Curly Hair was separated into two compartments. One part was deodorizer while the other was filled with a substance that could be used to manufacture explosives.

This had been expected to deceive dog noses and portable sensor apparatuses. The idea to hide it in an unexpected place like a dog toilet was even better. After all, there was a saying that the most dangerous place was the safest. Who would expect that something would be hidden in a toilet for service dogs? When the time was right, the designated personnel could have retrieved it to manufacture an explosive.

During planning, the perpetrators probably never imagined that a dog would still be able to sniff it out with such a packaging.

However, from the information received, it could be deduced that this object had been placed there beforehand as there was no way it would have passed the many layers of high-level security checks in the airport during this period. It could be confirmed that there were both domestic and foreign conspirators. Two foreigners had been apprehended. No one knew how many others were hiding within the island and avoiding capture.

”Everyone must be cautious these few days. Search and sweep the areas meticulously. Do not overlook a single suspicious thing!” Captain Zhao Chao had gathered the team members for a meeting. Those that were on duty would also get to see the recorded logs/minutes of these meeting.

After exhorting once again, Zhao Chao got Fang Zhao to stay behind to have a word with him.

”Fang Zhao, you have worked hard in bringing Curly Hair all over to many areas.”

Curly Hair receiving a merit had come as a huge surprise to Zhao Chao, but at the same time, he could now see why Curly Hair was recommended here despite being a pet. This dog was really capable! Indeed, he deserved to be known as the dog that had caused Muzhou's sheep herding competitions to change their rules!

Regardless of whether he joined the anti-smuggling bureaus of various large spaceports or special combat departments, this sort of dog would be extremely welcomed!

Being with Fang Zhao was a waste of its talent!

Furthermore, it had been a shepherd dog before and wouldn't be that staunch. What a pity!

Fang Zhao's ears were really good, but having good hearing didn't mean that he could do everything. He still had to rely on the dog. However, Zhao Chao also knew those who had recommended Curly Hair and Fang Zhao surely had sights on Curly Hair long ago. However, it was impossible to make Fang Zhao part with Curly Hair.

Now, he could only assign Fang Zhao more tasks. It couldn't be helped. His dog was just too impressive. The capable ones did the most work.

”Under the current circumstances, the security equipment at the airport can't possibly be moved to every single building. There are many places that aren't convenient to search or have limitations. Curly Hair's nose is really sensitive. I will need you to bring him around to more places on behalf of the team. Of course, if you have any additional requests, I will try my best to help satisfy them.”

”Captain,” Fang Zhao said.

”What?”

”Can we increase our rations?”

”… Increase!” Special times called for special measures. With gritted teeth, Zhao Chao went over the team's vets and approved additional food for both dog and human.

After, Zhao Chao was still a little uneasy and reminded Fang Zhao, ”I know that you can really eat; however, your dog might not necessarily be the same as you. If you ever find that he is unwell, make sure you send him to our vets right away.”

”Understood.” Fang Zhao nodded.

”Also, watch him carefully and don't let him eat everything he wishes to. Not all food that we eat can be fed to dogs. Even in small amounts, some things are harmful to dogs.”

”Got it. I will watch him carefully,” Fang Zhao replied.

”It's all good if you know.” Zhao Chao recalled that Fang Zhao had kept this dog for quite a long time already. He probably already understood all the fundamentals of keeping a dog. Seeing that Fang Zhao already seemed aware of all the information, Zhao Chao felt more relieved. In addition, people who could enter Whale Island Region weren't bumpkins. They wouldn't litter or toss random things around. There wouldn't be that much that Curly Hair could eat indiscriminately.

Thus, Zhao Chao relaxed.

The specially approved additional food arrived quickly, and Fang Zhao gave his own share to Curly Hair. He could go to the dining hall when he got hungry.
