Domineering Moral Animal Husbandry: Where Can Sanhua’S Lovely Wife Escape? Chapter 11
byChapter 11: The Fake Marriage
The German Shepherd finally finished his video conference with the Director.
Ade, keep up the good work! the Director encouraged him. Mouseros has finally shown his tail. By following this lead, we will surely be able to wipe out his underground criminal empire in one fell swoop!
Yes, sir! Ade saluted.
The Director continued, By the way, Ade, since we’ve already identified Mouseros’s appearance, we can anticipate his moves. I intend to transfer you to the task force and assign another officer here to protect…
No! The German Shepherd’s ears shot straight up.
…the innocent civilian, the Director finished, looking at him with suspicion.
Realizing he had overreacted, the German Shepherd sat back down and said with a composed, steady air, I have studied Mouseros’s behavior. He has an abnormal desire to attack cats, which is why he has nearly been caught by us several times. With his 1,342nd cousin involved this time, I believe there is a high probability that Mouseros will target the individual under my protection. Therefore, I suggest we exploit his psychological weakness and formulate a specialized capture plan centered around my protectee.
… The Director thought for a moment. As expected of Ade. That perfect score in criminal psychology during last year’s joint police exam wasn’t for nothing. I approve your plan. Submit an analysis report later.
Thank you for your trust, Director!
The German Shepherd hung up and sat in the moonlight for a while.
He was somewhat relieved that his fur was dark enough to hide his blushing.
He had lied to the Director… well, only half-lied.
The criminal psychological analysis of Mouseros was certainly a major reason for his choice to stay, but more importantly… he didn’t want any other colleague helping Sanhua prepare for the wedding.
He wanted to meet Sanhua’s fiancé personally!
The German Shepherd felt immensely ashamed of his selfishness. He had a vague inkling of why he felt this way, but that only made his mind more of a mess, leaving him afraid to dig deeper into his own heart.
Bathed in the moonlight, he was like a black reef being struck by wave after wave; though his surroundings were silent, a storm was raging in his heart.
…Though his surroundings weren’t entirely silent.
With a loud creak, the twisted window frame was knocked to the ground. Night Owl the barrister, missing a few feathers, raised a wing toward him. Well said. It seems you police officers aren’t all muscle-bound idiots after all.
?
Facing the dark-faced German Shepherd, Night Owl didn’t feel the slightest bit of discomfort. Hey, I’m back. As the bird who knows Mouseros best, I have a strategy to catch him. Want to hear it?
What is it?
It’s quite simple, really. Didn’t you already think of half of it? Night Owl said mysteriously. Let that cat get married and make the news as big as possible. I guarantee Mouseros will come to crash the wedding!
What’s your evidence?
Night Owl revealed a secret that even the 1,342nd cousin didn’t know: Because my cou—cough, while I was working for Mouseros, I heard that when that little kitten escaped from him back then, he swiped the key to his vault!
Mouseros has been looking for him all these years, but the House of Ragdoll upgraded their security system after he terrorized them, so he can’t get in. Hold a multinational wedding and open up the guest list—I promise Mouseros won’t miss the opportunity!
—And that cat trusts you, doesn’t he? He’ll agree to it!
The German Shepherd’s face went cold, and he stared at Night Owl with a gaze that sent a chill down the bird’s spine.
This is your grand idea? To exploit a moral, conscientious, and innocent civilian? To persuade him, force him, and use a police investigation as an excuse for moral kidnapping just to make him hold a grand wedding he doesn’t want?
I absolutely refuse!
Night Owl: ?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, he said in disbelief. Buddy, he’s the one getting married, not you. How do you know he’s unwilling? Besides, I heard the cat’s marriage partner is from a prestigious family in the Woof Kingdom, a very excellent dog…
The German Shepherd gave him a cold look but didn’t reply.
Was there a chance? Night Owl the barrister scratched his chin with the tip of his wing. Remembering his cousin’s instructions, he threw out a suggestion that the German Shepherd couldn’t refuse: Then what if we hold a fake wedding?
What?
As long as the marriage partner is a dog, it’s fine, right? Speaking of which, Officer, you seem to be a Single Dog from a prestigious family in the Woof Kingdom yourself…
Ade: …
The tips of his ears twitched in surprise.
What was even more shameful… was that he was tempted.
In the end, the German Shepherd couldn’t bring himself to righteously reject Night Owl’s proposal.
Let me think about it… he said calmly.
Night Owl the barrister saw right through the German Shepherd’s bravado with his 5.5 night vision. Fine. Remember to send me an invitation when you get married.
He definitely wouldn’t miss this show!
Oh, right, Night Owl the barrister said before leaving, holding up the check his cousin had given him. This is to pay for your window. Consider it a wedding gift for you and that Sanhua cat.
The German Shepherd lowered his right front paw, which he had originally intended to use to refuse. He took the check and gave a light cough. Where should I send the invitation?
