"Woof, woof, woof …" The barking was still going on and on, making everyone feel a little uneasy. The recording device of the law enforcement recorder was also affected.
Han Bin suggested, "Ms. Sun, let's talk somewhere else. It's too noisy here."
Sun Xiaoli looked at the dogs around her, said a few words to the two volunteers, and left with Han Bin and the others.
They got into the police van and drove a few hundred meters away before the barking gradually subsided. At least, it didn't affect communication anymore.
The police van was spacious and could be used as a temporary place to take statements.
Han Bin went straight to the point. "Ms. Sun, there are two reasons why we are here today. First, there are complaints from the residents nearby. We admire your kindness, but the barking is really loud. But the barking is really loud, and many residents in the surrounding area have complained. This matter doesn't seem to be a big deal, but if it continues like this, it will have a great impact on the lives of the surrounding residents. "
"Yes, I understand. I also feel bad about it. I chose this factory because it was far away from the city. It's not very far, and it's convenient for the volunteers to come over. I really didn't think it through enough. I also plan to rent a new factory to raise these stray dogs. This time, I will choose a place outside the village so it won't affect other people. "
Hearing that the problem was solved, Song Shaohui immediately said, "Thank you for your cooperation."
"It's my pleasure. I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Sun Xiaoli looked apologetic and pitiful.
Although Sun Xiaoli wasn't very beautiful, she was the type that could easily make people like her.
Han Bin continued, "The second reason we are here is to learn more about Ma Shan."
Sun Xiaoli hesitated for a moment. "Although I have met a lot of volunteers, I have never heard of anyone named Ma Shan. Officer, are you sure you are mistaken?"
Han Bin took out a photo from his briefcase. "Do you know this person?"
Sun Xiaoli took the photo and frowned at it. "Isn't … isn't this Ke Weicheng?"
Han Bin realized that Ma Shan might have used a fake name. "Are you sure his name is Ke Weicheng?"
Sun Xiaoli said confidently, "Yes, I'm sure. He's also a dog volunteer and often comes to my rescue station to help."
Han Bin stroked his chin as he thought back to the Alaskan Malamute that had been killed. This didn't seem like the work of a canine volunteer. Either Ma Shan wasn't the real murderer, or Ma Shan didn't like dogs in the first place. In that case, what was his purpose in coming to the kennel?
"Did Ma Shan transfer your money through WeChat?"
"Yes, he is a very caring person. Every once in a while, he will donate to the dogs. Basically, he will come two or three times a week, but he has been busy during this time and hasn't come for some time."
"An assassin with a special kind heart?" Han Bin found it a little ironic.
Using money earned from killing people to buy dog food didn't seem like something a normal person would do.
Han Bin asked, "How much do you know about Ke Weicheng? What does he do? "
Sun Xiaoli thought for a moment. "Because he often comes to help, I also asked if it would affect his work.
He said that he is a freelancer and that his working hours are relatively free. Sometimes when he is tired from work, he is willing to spend time with the dogs, which makes him feel very relaxed. Since he said that, I didn't ask for more details. "
"How much money has he donated to the rescue station in total?"
"This … I can't remember, but I have a record of it. I will know when I go back and check the records."
"About how much?"
"It should add up to about a hundred thousand."
Zhao Ming was a little surprised. "So much money, and this is just a volunteer's donation. Is dog food that expensive?"
Sun Xiaoli looked serious. "Comrade police, I know what you are thinking, but I remember every donation to the dog rescue station clearly. I have never misappropriated a penny. I dare to swear to God that all the money has been used on the dogs. Sometimes, when the donation is small, I will even spend my own money.
Dogs had a relatively large appetite. Dogs that were slightly larger in size could eat more than humans. Large dogs could even eat more than normal people. The daily food expenses of dozens of dogs were not cheap. And this is only the most basic cost. When the dogs are sick, we have to treat them, take medicine, vaccinate them, and buy some toys. The total cost is really not cheap. "
Han Bin asked, "Ms. Sun, what do you do?"
"I used to work in a trading company. It's a white-collar job."
"When and why did you build this stray dog rescue station?"
"I have liked small animals since I was a child. Our family has cats, dogs, rabbits, goldfish, birds. My favorite is dogs. I still remember when I was a child, we had a big dog named Doudou. It looked very fierce, but it was very good to me. It never barked at me. It often wagged its tail and rubbed against me … "As Sun Xiaoli said this, she showed a touch of sadness.
"Later, it was hit by a car and died. I still remember the scene. It was lying in a pool of blood. It was very helpless, and tears were flowing from its eyes. I was very sad at that time. It was my best friend, my best companion. I cried and fainted.
After that, I didn't dare to keep a dog. It's not that I don't love it, but I love it too much. I don't want to go through that kind of parting again. It's too painful. "
Sun Xiaoli wiped her tears. "I'm sorry to let you see it. I really treat Doudou as my family. Really."
Han Bin handed her a tissue. "It's okay. You can continue."
"Actually, my life is very ordinary. It's just going to school and working. It's no different from others. Although I don't have a dog anymore, I have classmates and colleagues who have dogs. I go to their house and play with the dogs for a while. It feels very intimate, but I still can't get over it. I still don't dare to have a dog …
Until five years ago, I saw a stray dog on the side of the road. It looked very similar to my dog, Doudou, when I was young. It was very dirty, very thin, and had skin diseases. It was rummaging next to the trash can to eat. When I saw that scene, I felt like my heart was about to break.
I bought a pack of ham sausages at the convenience store. It was very happy and ate it in big mouthfuls, just like our Doudou. It ate while wagging its tail. At that time … I can't tell what I was feeling. It was so hungry that it finished all the ham sausages. "
Sun Xiaoli smiled through her tears. She continued, "After it finished the ham sausages, I waved goodbye. I didn't walk far before I realized that it was following me. I didn't care at that time and continued walking. After walking for a while, I realized that it was still following me. I still remember its expression at that time. It was like a child without a mother. It longed to be loved, longed to be taken in.
It followed me all the way to my house. I hesitated for a long time, but looking at its longing eyes, I couldn't bear to drive it away. So I brought it home and raised it. It was also the first stray dog that I adopted. I named it Xiao Dou.
Later, I realized that there were far more stray dogs in this city than I thought. I know that many people don't like stray dogs, but dogs are not guilty. They don't want to become stray dogs. They were abandoned by their owners. They were really pitiful.
Just like that, I began to adopt stray dogs. Starting from Xiao Dou, I adopted another five or six stray dogs. At that time, my boyfriend had an opinion. He told me to stop because there was dog fur everywhere in the house. The neighbors also began to complain that my dog barked too loudly.
But these stray dogs were too pitiful. If I didn't help them, they might die in some corner. So, I continued to adopt stray dogs. Later, my boyfriend left. The neighbors complained more and more, and people often came to my door to quarrel. I couldn't live there anymore, so I moved out of the neighborhood.
Later, I rented this factory. There were many dog lovers like me. They also encountered the same problem as me. They wanted to adopt dogs, but due to various reasons, they couldn't. They sent the dogs to my rescue station, and the number of stray dogs I adopted increased. In order to take better care of them, I quit my job.
I know that you will think that I am stupid. But … I have no choice. These dogs need me. If I let them go … they are likely to die. "
Although Han Bin couldn't understand her behavior, the world was so big, and there were always people who were different. "How did you and Ma Shan, who is Ke Weicheng, meet?"
Sun Xiaoli recalled, "We got to know each other because of dogs. One day, I was feeding the dogs in the factory, and he came to me and asked if this was a stray dog rescue station. He said he wanted to donate some dog food. At that time, I received him, and from then on, we got to know each other. He often came to the rescue station to help. Sometimes he donated money, and sometimes he directly bought dog food. He is a very kind person, and I am very grateful to him.
Police comrade, why are you looking for him? "
Kind?
Kind?
If he hadn't asked the other party to identify the photo, Han Bin would have suspected that they were talking about the same person.
