The winter solstice had long passed, and the sky was getting darker and darker.
In the evening, Wang Qian and Li Kun rushed back in the dim light of the night. Seeing that there were no outsiders in the shop, they took out a fist-sized box from their bag. The appearance of the box was extremely rough, and it simply said: Security Surveillance Equipment.
"Master, we bought it from the computer city." Wang Qian gave the box to Zhang Zian. "See if it is the one you wanted."
Zhang Zian opened the box a little and glanced at it roughly. "Is there an invoice?"
"No," Li Kun answered truthfully. "The unscrupulous businessman in the computer city said that the invoice would add 10 more points. I said no need, and I don't even need a receipt."
"Okay, it's good that there is no invoice." Zhang Zian nodded with satisfaction. "Let's get off work early today. Let's start packing now."
Wang Qian and Li Kun looked at each other, wondering why their master suddenly wanted to buy a surveillance camera. The surveillance above the cashier was not broken, so why did their master suddenly want to buy a surveillance camera?
After noon, Zhang Zian asked them to go to the computer city to buy a surveillance camera. He specifically told them that the smaller the better, and that there was no invoice.
Generally speaking, it was cheaper to buy digital equipment online, and the quality and warranty were more guaranteed. They could also return it without any reason. Why did Zhang Zian ask them to buy it from the computer city?
If they analyzed it, there were probably two reasons. One was that Zhang Zian needed it urgently, so it would be faster to buy it in a physical store, and he could get it on the same day. Two... if they bought it online, they would leave a purchase record, and they might be found out. It was relatively safer to buy it in a physical store without an invoice.
When they told the owner of the surveillance camera that they didn't need an invoice or a receipt, the owner gave them a knowing look, which confused them.
Zhang Zian asked them to clean up on the first floor, and he went back to the second floor with the box.
He opened the box and took out a camera shaped like a miniature flashlight. It might be a little too big to call it a pinhole camera, but it was definitely a good camera.
The manual was very simple, and there were only two pages. He skimmed through it and roughly understood how to use it. He took out a TF card that he hadn't used for a long time and inserted it into the slot of the camera.
According to the manual, this thing could last for about seven or eight hours. With a discount, it should last for at least six hours. If the infrared night vision function was turned on, it could last for three hours, which was enough.
Famous, who had been waiting on the second floor, curiously looked at the small camera and asked, "Is there no smaller one?"
"A smaller one would be too expensive, and it's not cost-effective. I'll just make do with this one." Zhang Zian put the camera on it and tried to figure out where to put it.
"How about tying it to the top of your head?" he suggested.
"No way!" Famous flatly refused. "This concerns my image!"
Obviously, the camera could only be placed in front of Famous, so there were very few places to choose from.
Zhang Zian gestured at its collar. "Then, fix it on the side of the collar, right?"
With a black collar and a black camera, it was hard to notice if one didn't pay attention.
Famous didn't object this time. Zhang Zian took out some double-sided tape and stuck the camera on the side of the collar. After waiting for a while, he pulled on it with his hand. It was quite sturdy. As long as he didn't use too much force, it would be difficult for it to fall.
"Zian, do I also need to get this thing?" Old Time Tea asked from the side.
"No, one is enough," Famous answered for him.
This operation was proposed by Famous, but it asked Old Time Tea to work with it, and Old Time Tea readily agreed.
The operation was very simple. Famous and Old Time Tea would sneak into Love Lovely Pets' breeding farm with the camera and take pictures of anything suspicious. When they came back, Zhang Zian would check the video content. If there were any signs of crimes in the video, they could report it to the police.
"Famous, Old Time Tea, are you sure you want to do this?"
Zhang Zian was still quite worried about this operation. After all, the situation at the breeding farm was unknown. If there was an accident, it would be difficult to clean up the mess. Compared to helping Sheng Ke, he was more worried about the safety of Famous and Old Time Tea. He felt that it was not worth the risk.
"Haha, don't worry." Famous seemed very confident. "It's just a breeding farm, not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den. There won't be any danger."
In the Imagined Landscape, it had encountered even greater dangers. It had repeatedly fought with packs of wolves, wild dogs, mad bears, and evil bandits in the wilderness. It had relied on its ingenious cooperation with Old Time Tea to avert danger.
Old Time Tea didn't know where Famous's confidence came from, but it was full of confidence in its own skills. It smiled and nodded.
Since they had made up their minds, Zhang Zian didn't try to persuade them anymore.
After Wang Qian and Li Kun cleaned up downstairs, they reported to Zhang Zian and went home. Lu Yiyun cleaned up the cashier and went home with Jasmine.
Sun Xiaomeng's car was parked outside the shop. When it was a little darker, Zhang Zian pulled down the shutter door, got in the car with Famous and Old Time Tea, and drove north.
Love Lovely Pets' breeding base was located in the north of the city. It took up a large area. Based on the vague impression he had from his last visit, Zhang Zian successfully found the place even without the help of navigation. He parked the car far away by the roadside, turned off the car lights, and looked at the breeding base in the dusk.
It was probably time to get off work. From time to time, there were two or three employees leaving the gate. Some drove, some rode electric bikes, and some went their separate ways with exhaustion.
After waiting for a while, the breeding base gradually became quiet. The lights went out one after another, and the guards closed the big iron gate, leaving only a small door for people to enter and exit. They were very strict about the identity of the guests.
For a large breeding base like this, there would be people on duty even at night. Other than the guards, there were still some employees who stayed at the base to work the night shift.
It was impossible to enter from the main gate, so Zhang Zian started the car and went around the periphery of the breeding base to the back. He turned off the car lights and stopped by the roadside.
"Famous, Grandpa Tea, isn't this wall a little too high?" Zhang Zian looked at the tall wall and frowned.
The long wall completely surrounded the entire breeding base. The wall was at least three meters high, and there was a meter-high barbed wire fence on top of the wall. There was a surveillance camera installed at regular intervals. The security was very tight, almost like a prison. But the more it was so, the more people were curious about the inside of the wall.
Old Time Tea looked at the wall and smiled. "For me, it's fine even if it's a little higher … Famous, how are you going to get there?"
Famous was also calm. It said to Zhang Zian, "You go back first. We'll go back by ourselves when we're done."
"It's so far away, and you want to run back by yourself?" he asked in surprise.
The direct distance from here to the pet shop was almost 10 kilometers, and the actual distance was even longer.
Old Time Tea was a little surprised. As a feline, it had unparalleled agility and explosive power, but its endurance was not the best choice.
"Don't worry, this distance is nothing. I've run farther," Famous said confidently.
It didn't say anything else. It gestured for Zhang Zian to open the car door and jumped out with Old Time Tea.
It was about 300 meters away from here to the wall. Famous and Old Time Tea hid in the corner and waved its claws at Zhang Zian, urging him to leave quickly. They would only be able to move when he left.
Zhang Zian was still worried, but he knew that Famous and Old Time Tea had their own strengths, so he could only choose to trust them.
He started the car and went back the way they came. He kept looking at Love Lovely Pets Breeding Base in the rearview mirror until he could no longer see it.
After returning to the city, Zhang Zian didn't go back to the pet shop. Instead, he drove to Li's Supreme Snack Bar for Cat Fanciers.
He was in luck. Maybe it was after dinner time, so there weren't too many people waiting in line.
He usually ordered takeout, but he wanted to have dinner here today. When Famous and Old Time Tea carried out their secret operation, he needed someone to make an alibi for him.
