13: Something's wrong! A stray animal with red eyes!

"Brother, I knew you couldn't bear to part with me."

Photographer Wang Fan scurried over, still remembering Officer Hong's previous invitation.

Becoming an auxiliary police officer, getting regular status in a year—that's a guaranteed job!

"Brother, I've never felt a man was this handsome before." Wang Fan immediately latched onto his leg.

"Alright, alright, stop sucking up and let's go work!"

Following that.

The two men, each holding an iron arm grabber, began patrolling the area around the Longhai City Police Bureau.

Officer Hong, who hadn't walked far, stood on the steps of the Police Bureau lobby, speechless.

No wonder this kid was so carefree, not even leaving contact information. He had thought he didn't want the twenty thousand yuan reward, but it turned out the kid was just strolling around their Police Bureau.

By the roadside.

Su Yun wandered aimlessly, picking up plastic bottles if he saw them, or simply treating it as a walk if he didn't.

He didn't look like a serious junk collector at all.

Since the twenty thousand yuan reward was about to be in his hands, and he wouldn't have to worry about food and drink afterward, why bother picking up trash?

He transmigrated and came to participate in this show just to pick up junk?

It was definitely to enjoy life.

— 【Giving up, giving up! I declare that Contestant No. 54 officially enters the life of giving up starting today!】

— 【I'm so jealous, this is the life I want!】

— 【So picking up junk can be this awesome. Maybe I'll try it someday...】

Comments in the livestream room began to show up from a group of 996 office workers.

Although picking up junk was messy and undignified, the key was that it felt great and was very free.

"Brother, what should we eat for lunch today?"

Photographer Wang Fan checked the time; it was almost eleven o'clock, nearing lunchtime.

"We helped the Police Bureau crack a major case, so we definitely have to eat something good for lunch today."

"The Police Bureau's boxed lunch is good. I smell meat..."

"It must be Twice-Cooked Pork, my favorite..."

Wang Fan's mouth twitched, speechless: "Brother, that's awesome!"

Wang Fan knew a little about how the case was solved, but a large group of newcomers in the livestream room were confused.

What? The case has already been solved?

Some newcomers: I came to watch someone pick up junk, and you're helping the police solve a case?

— 【Streamer, tell us how the case was solved!】

— 【Hurry up and tell us, don't keep us in suspense, or I'll curse the Streamer to not find any trash today!】

— 【Streamer, I admit my voice was too loud just now...】

Su Yun didn't even look at the comments in the livestream room, and Wang Fan ignored them too.

The two men aimlessly stopped near a secluded grove.

"Brother, wait a little longer, maybe another ten minutes, and the Police Bureau should be serving food!" Wang Fan kept a close eye on the time.

"Mhm..."

Su Yun sat on the curb, imagining how he should spend the twenty thousand yuan.

Suddenly, in his sea of consciousness, gray dots with flashing red lights were scanned onto the radar.

Red dots... more red dots... Two consecutive accidents had made Su Yun somewhat resistant to the system radar's red dots.

But what did these gray dots mean?

It seemed like there was no concept for this...

"Brother, what's wrong? Are you hungry? It's not mealtime yet." Wang Fan stood up alongside him.

"It seems like there's something over here. Let's go take a look."

Ever since he obtained the junk collecting profession from the show, Su Yun had become very sensitive to the word "pick up."

If others throw it away, he can pick it up. If others don't want it, he can still pick it up...

In short, starting with an iron arm grabber and a basket, equipment and resources all depend on picking them up.

The two men leisurely walked, and a few minutes later, they arrived near a secluded garbage station... stopping more than a meter away.

Under the effect of the scorching heat, the garbage station had a mountain of trash piled up, rotting, molding, and stinking...

"Ugh..."

"Brother, we don't need to be this pathetic, right?"

"I can't stand it, I'm about to throw up..."

Wang Fan clearly hadn't recovered from the trauma of the corpse.

The trash discarded near this station was either household waste or kitchen waste...

Su Yun endured the stench, his curiosity intensifying.

He noticed that a lot of bones were thrown at this garbage station... and entire sections of fresh meat...

He glanced around.

At this moment, stray cats and stray dogs were already starting to gather here...

"Brother, why are there suddenly so many stray dogs and cats here?" Wang Fan exclaimed, panning the camera over them one by one.

He saw more than ten stray dogs and cats quickly approaching the garbage station.

They had been attracted by the fresh meat chunks and bones piled on the mountain of trash.

Upon seeing Su Yun and Wang Fan, these stray animals showed no fear at all...

"Hey, you two young men, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, an Old Man riding a sanitation cart appeared behind them, looking at the two with a smile in his eyes.

He was wearing a sanitation worker uniform, a large broom rested on his cart, and he was covered in dirt...

Judging by his appearance, he should be the sanitation worker for this area.

"Hello, Old Man. We're fine, we just came to look around," Su Yun proactively explained.

"Oh..."

"I thought you were some kind of inspectors, with this kid carrying a camera in this heat."

The Old Man got off his pedal tricycle.

He bent down and casually picked up a tree branch from the roadside.

"Go away! Go away! Go away!"

"All of you, get far away!"

"This is a perfectly good garbage station, and you've messed up all the trash!"

The sanitation worker Old Man held the branch, waving it wildly, and began driving away the dozen or so stray cats and dogs.

However, the next moment...

"Woof woof woof!"

"Hiss..."

The dozen or so stray animals seemed greatly provoked, baring their teeth and growling at the Old Man.

Su Yun happened to witness this alarming scene.

"Oh really? A bunch of beasts who come here every day looking for food and drink, dare to be fierce with me?"

The Old Man was indeed the Old Man.

He picked up the large broom and swung it down squarely at the heads of the several large, stout stray dogs in front of him!

"Woof woof woof..."

At that, the stray dogs went wild, adopting a threatening stance as if ready to bite.

Seeing this, Su Yun.

He bent down, making a motion as if to pick up a stone.

His gaze was fixed on the several stout stray dogs leading the pack...

"Woof woof woof..."

Then, the dozen or so stray animals picked up the bones and chunks of meat they hadn't finished eating, turned around, and bolted.

"Hey! You're good, young man. Thank you," the Old Man said with a laugh.

"It's nothing."

Su Yun waved his hand and then asked, "Old Man, I want to know, why does this garbage station have bones and meat pieces?"

"Also... didn't you notice that those stray animals' pupils were blood red!"

Hearing this, the Old Man shook his head, looking quite helpless.

"Sigh... These beasts are clearly eating meat."

"For the past few months, this garbage station often has meat and bones..."

"I even asked why someone would throw these things away..."

"It was a butcher shop owner. He told me it was spoiled meat, lymphatic meat that couldn't be sold..."

"He had no choice but to throw it away..."

"Why did you suddenly think to ask about this, young man?"

"Is there a problem?"
