Chapter 191: Captain Sheng’s Visit

Since they had successfully captured the fourth Elfin, Zhang Zian and Old Time Tea took their time on the way home. Zhang Zian was fooled by the b*tch bird, yet he was still thrilled to get another Elfin. He knew he would get revenge on the b*tch bird sometime.

“Zian.”

Old Time Tea called his name as they walked.

“What’s up, Grandpa Tea?”

“That bird we just captured doesn’t seem to be friendly…” Old Time Tea looked at him with concern. “If it is too difficult to tame, we are better off just letting it go…”

Zhang Zian nodded, “I know. But I want to give it a try, otherwise today’s work was all a waste.”

This bird was too b*tchy. It wasn’t cute like Galaxy, nor was it straightforward like Fina. Compared to Old Time Tea, it was a complete jerk. How could Zhang Zian increase its friendliness?

When they walked close to the intersection of Zhong Hua Nan Road, they saw from a distance that two policemen were waiting at the door in front of the pet shop. There was a police car parked outside. Zhang Zian was nervous.

“Grandpa Tea, that looks like Captain Sheng,” he said to Old Time Tea as they were waiting at the stop light.

“Oh, that police sergeant?” Old Time Tea asked.

“Yeah. I am not sure what he is doing here…” Zhang Zian thought for a second, “Are they here for Chen Taitong’s case or…”

“Or what?” Old Time Tea asked.

Zhang Zian explained, “Last time when he was here, he mentioned something. I don’t know the details but it sounded like someone trained cats… or other animals to do bad things. He wanted me to assist him.”

“Oh…” Old Time Tea paused, “What do you want to do?”

Zhang Zian said, “I am planning to reject him. I am not a smart guy. I can’t be of much help.”

Old Time Tea disagreed, “You don’t have to put yourself down. Although I was never friends with policemen, it isn’t surprising that they need our help. If we can do something good for the society, we should do it.”

“You are right, Grandpa Tea. Would you like to sit in? If you think we can help them, then I will accept his invitation. If you don’t think so, then just shake your head.”

Old Time Tea said, “Great idea!”

Old Time Tea was sophisticated. It knew that a normal person could only benefit from having a great relationship with the police. It was an opportunity many people had longed for. This sergeant looked like he was high-ranking. To be friends with him would be greatly beneficial.

The lights turned green. They crossed the road together and walked towards the policemen.

When they got closer, he confirmed that was Captain Sheng.

Captain Sheng also saw him. He quickly walked up to Zhang Zian.

“Master Zhang.”

Zhang Zian was embarrassed, “Captain Sheng, please don’t call me that. I don’t deserve the name of ‘master’. Please call me Zhang Zian.”

“Captain Sheng, why didn’t you give me a call before you come? How long have you waited?” Zhang Zian said as he pulled out the keys to unlock the door, opened the curtain door and invited Captain Sheng inside.

Captain Sheng took off his hat, walked inside and said, “I just arrived. I will address you as Mr. Zhang then. Honestly, the name ‘master’ sounds like a scammer, ha-ha… Mr. Zhang is a good name. I like it…”

Zhang Zian kept a safe distance from Captain Sheng. He was concerned that Captain Sheng would suddenly hit him to see if he was a Kung Fu master. Obviously, he was overthinking it. Captain Sheng was a policeman who was not allowed to hit a normal person. Otherwise, he would lose his job. If Captain Sheng requested a match, Zhang Zian could easily refuse it.

“Please sit down. I am sorry about the mess. I don’t have much to serve you,” Zhang Zian pointed at the chair next to the cashier table and had Captain Sheng sit down.

“That’s fine,” Captain Sheng sat down and looked around, “Mr. Zhang, are you going to renovate your store?”

“Yes. I have a friend connected with a design firm. My friend Xiao Yan, whom you also know,” Zhang Zian was honest.

“Oh… Hey, how did you meet Ms. Xiao?” Captain Sheng asked curiously, “As far as I know, her salon doesn’t serve male customers.”

“Long story short, Sister Xiao has a cat that is quite naughty. The cat didn’t like taking baths and she didn’t like the services from other pet stores, so she tried mine out,” Zhang Zian said.

Captain Sheng’s eyes shined as he asked, “So you nailed it?”

“Yes. Fortunately,” Zhang Zian was humble.

“Mr. Zhang, you are too humble. Well, I should’ve known. You are a cat trainer, so bathing a cat shouldn’t take you too much work,” Captain Sheng laughed.

Old Time Tea was invisible the whole time. It had been observing Captain Sheng’s facial expressions.

It realized that Captain Sheng kept the small talk going all while leading the conversation to his main points.

Zhang Zian also noticed that he was straightforward, “Captain Sheng, I am a cat trainer. I know there are various styles and techniques for cat training. There isn’t one rule that applies to all.”

He made that up.

Captain Sheng waved, “Mr. Zhang, relax. I am not interested in knowing how cats are trained. I also understand that people don’t like to reveal these secrets. I am very practical. I only want to see results, I don’t care about how you do it. My goal of this trip is to invite you to help us in a case.”

Zhang Zian glanced at Old Time Tea. Its hat was going up and down. It gestured him to listen.

“Please tell me the details,” he said.

Captain Sheng hesitated and remained silent.

“Well, if it is not a good time…” Zhang Zian was hoping that Captain Sheng wouldn’t tell him.

“No, I was just thinking about how to tell you…” Captain Sheng shook his head, “Well, I will tell you everything. However, this is not a good thing to share with people. If you expose it to the public, there will be a negative influence on us, so…”

Zhang Zian understood that this was an oral non-disclosure agreement.

“I promise I won’t tell other people, no matter if I can help or not,” He emphasized “other people”. Of course, Old Time Tea, Galaxy, Fina and the b*tch bird were, in fact, not “other people.”

“I trust you, Mr. Zhang. I will tell you the ins and outs of this story. Here we go…”
