A pleasant female voice came from inside the house.
The team leader pushed open the door, and almost at the same time, an unpleasant smell mixed with animal urine, feces and body odor penetrated Zhang Lang's nasal cavity.
It's not very strong, it's within the level that ordinary people can tolerate, but for Zhang Lang, whose perception has been enhanced, the smell is a bit irritating... It's not pungent, but it's very distinct.
Just like people with good eyesight and people with poor eyesight have the same tolerance for dazzling bright light, people with a more sensitive sense of smell will not find it more difficult to step into the toilet than those with a poor sense of smell...
Enhanced senses increase the depth and breadth of people's perception of the world, but it does not reduce people's tolerance.
It may even be improved, so that people can see things more clearly under strong light, and can distinguish the hidden smell of blood in the strong smell!
The topic returned to the present. As the door was completely opened, Zhang Lang quickly saw the source of the smell.
The originally quite spacious room was filled with neat wooden shelves on both sides, and cages and fish tanks of various sizes stacked on them, making it look extremely crowded. Those containers contained various small animals that could be seen everywhere, such as gold and silver fish.
Canaries, squirrels, sparrows, mice, turtles, frogs, goldfish, etc... There are also specially prepared environments suitable for the survival of each animal.
In the innermost part of these little creatures, there is a short desk, behind which sits a short-haired girl wearing glasses, flipping through information.
"Captain?" As soon as she saw the two of them, the girl stood up, her face was a little frightened, and her tone was a little stammered.
A kid? Zhang Lang had some misconceptions about the girl's height. 1.5 meters? Not even that...
"Lana!" The team leader lowered his head and said with a smile, "I'm here to do you a favor. Where's that little guy who knows how to detect lies?"
"You mean Xiao Huang?"
Lana got out from behind the desk, picked up a form, and ran to the shelf to look at it.
Taking this opportunity, Zhang Lang glanced at her desk, which contained various animal files, including breeds, habits, special abilities, etc. It seemed that she was a very hard-working girl.
"Here it is, I found it!" Lana ran back holding the birdcage, raised her head and looked at the captain: "Who are you going to test this time? Is this an Oriental who is taller than you?"
"That's right!" The captain smiled and turned back to Zhang Lang: "Not only humans, but also animals with special abilities occasionally appear! We will control them when we find out. Lana is born with the ability to communicate with animals.
The ability is specifically responsible for the management of special species in the bureau!"
"It's called communication, but it's actually not that powerful!" Little Glasses scratched his head: "In fact, animals are very stupid. Even if they can communicate, it's difficult to express their meaning clearly. I usually order them to do something and then rely on rewards.
Delicious food for training..."
Zhang Lang nodded: "What should we do?"
"There's no need to prepare anything special!" Lana put the birdcage on the table and looked at the bird inside for a while. The bird nodded as if she understood something.
"Okay, tell what you want to ask and say in front of Xiao Huang. If he feels it is a lie, he will scream!"
The captain nodded and asked Zhang Lang: "Are you the murderer of the serial murder case?"
"No!" Zhang Lang shook his head firmly, but Xiaoniao didn't respond.
"Do you know the serial murderer?"
"I don't know!" Zhang Lang denied again, but Xiaoniao still didn't respond.
"What would you do if you caught the murderer?"
"Kill them!" Zhang Lang replied very simply, but the bird still didn't respond.
"Aren't you afraid that you will be punished for killing someone?"
"It's better than being killed!" Zhang Lang looked into the captain's eyes and answered calmly.
The bird tilted its head, but still didn't cry...
The team leader was silent for a while and then asked some questions about Zhang Lang's identity in this world.
Regarding this, everything was arranged by Xu through the altar. As long as Zhang Lang answers according to the set identity, there will be no problem and nothing can be detected.
From this point of view, it may be more useful than the lie detector that can distinguish authenticity and measure heartbeat and body temperature...
After verification, the team leader extended his hand to Zhang Lang: "Very good, it seems you are indeed innocent... I haven't introduced myself yet, Carl Barnes!"
Zhang Lang also stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Zhang Lang!"
"You are right, we are indeed short of manpower right now...the number of special people is already small, and there are many non-combatants like Lana. Your joining will indeed be a great help!"
Karl smiled and said: "Well, it's getting late. You go home first. I will send a secondment application to the first bureau. Starting tomorrow, you can come directly to the ninth bureau and work with us!"
"What an honor!" Zhang Lang nodded: "What time should I come over?"
"It doesn't matter what time it is!" Karl smiled and said: "There are people on duty here 24 hours a day, and several of our combatants live here and are on standby at any time! Mainly because you need to prepare!"
Karl sent Zhang Lang out, and Zhang Lang asked to see the files of people with special abilities in the city, but was rejected.
"Don't be in such a hurry to work!" Karl said with a smile: "It's not good to be too nervous. Go back and have a good night's rest. We will officially start working tomorrow morning!"
Zhang Lang thought for a while, agreed, and left with Karl. On the way, he met the pudgy mustache and the young man from before.
Karl introduced: "This mustache is called Gray Grid. You have seen it before. He has extremely keen perception and the ability to move instantaneously. This young green-eyed handsome guy is called Danse. He has a very smart mind. Even though he is weak, at last
He's good at close combat, and even three or five big men can't get close to him!"
With that said, Karl pointed at Zhang Lang again: "This name is Zhang Lang. Lana has already tested it. There is no problem. You can trust it! We will work together starting tomorrow, let's get to know each other!"
The two of them also shook hands with Zhang Lang, and after exchanging a few words, Zhang Lang left the ninth game.
Looking at Zhang Lang's leaving figure, Dance asked in a low voice: "Captain, is he reliable?"
"Lana's ability is the most reliable!" Karl whispered: "This person can be our most important help!"
When Zhang Lang walked out of the ninth round, the sun had already set.
Since he had to work here tomorrow anyway, Zhang Lang simply didn't go back to the First Precinct, and directly followed Xu's guidance, braving the wind and snow, and walked towards the residence of the policeman.
On the way, he saw a tobacco shop. Zhang Lang thought for a moment, opened the door and walked in. After a while, he walked out again. He only bought a pack of cigarettes, lit them on the street, and smoked while walking.
"Do you have any clues?" Xu asked in Zhang Lang's mind: "What you just asked the cigarette shop clerk meant, right?"
Zhang Lang was silent for a while and answered the question: "The first murder was during the day yesterday, the second was last night, and the third was this afternoon. So... someone may die tonight!"
"What, you plan to stay up tonight and go out on patrol?" Xu curled his lips: "But that Captain Carl didn't give you any information. You don't even have a list of special people in the city. Are you just wandering around the city?
"
"No..." Zhang Lang shook his head: "We just go to places that are open all night!"
