......
Dozens of dense light spots, each representing an animal.
Looking at this information, Yang Lin instantly realized something was not quite right with this storefront.
With so many wild animals appearing here, he wasn't foolish enough to think this was an animal shelter or a veterinary hospital.
What's more, this was a snack street, and only one thing appeared on snack streets: food.
Thus, the true identity of this storefront was revealed: it was a wild game restaurant.
And the wild animals he saw were food that was about to be served.
Judging by the health status of these animals, they were most likely captured violently in the wild.
"It seems the people of Diannan have two types of love for animals."
"A restaurant specializing in wild animals, less than a kilometer from the Diannan Zoo, is truly a case of 'the brightest lamp casts the darkest shadow'."
Sighing, Yang Lin's gaze turned back to the large black dog caged by the entrance.
Upon closer inspection, he realized this large black dog didn't seem like an ordinary dog either.
He couldn't help but cast a 'Gaze of Insight' on the dog.
[Mongolian Mastiff]
Seeing this information, Yang Lin immediately understood.
"No wonder it looked so familiar. It's a mastiff. How did it end up in Diannan?"
While not as famous as Tibetan Mastiffs, Mongolian Mastiffs were one of the most loyal breeds.
They had always been used in the grassland regions of Long Country to herd cattle and sheep, serving as good companions to the herders.
Yang Lin initially thought it was there as a guard dog, but upon a moment's thought, he understood its true purpose.
It was likely just a cover. If anyone investigated, the people inside could simply claim they only sold dog meat.
While selling dog meat might draw criticism, it wasn't illegal.
Seeing people entering one after another, Yang Lin didn't rush to follow and begin the rescue work.
Come on, only a naive person would go alone. Who knew what weapons these wild game dealers had? A smart person like him would naturally choose the most straightforward and unpretentious method.
With that thought, he hurried to the most conspicuous lamppost nearby and dialed the emergency number.
"Hello, police officers, I'm currently under lamppost number 45 on Zoo Road. I've discovered a wild game restaurant here that's hoarding a large number of wild animals, including many rare species. Please come quickly, or those people will eat them."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Not long after Yang Lin finished his call, a group of police officers in uniform appeared before him.
Upon seeing Yang Lin's face, the officers were all stunned.
"You're Director Yang? You made the call?"
"That's great! We watched you all night yesterday, and now we've found a live one so quickly."
"Huh? So when I was live-streaming, I was performing necromancy?"
"No, no, come on, let's take a photo. One, two, three."
Soon, the police officers, like adoring fans, crowded around Yang Lin, taking photos with him.
However, when Yang Lin saw the officers on either side of him in the photo, he felt something was strange.
Crucially, he had his hands crossed in front of him out of habit.
Before he could ponder what was amiss, the leading officer spoke.
"Director Yang, are you sure you saw a wild game restaurant? Have they openly displayed those wild animals?"
Hearing the officers' inquiry, Yang Lin thought for a moment and then shook his head.
"They haven't gotten that brazen yet."
"Then how did you know there were wild animals inside their shop?"
For a moment, Yang Lin was stumped by the question.
He couldn't possibly say he knew through the system.
After a period of contemplation, he finally gave a somewhat plausible answer.
"I smelled them. I've lived with animals since I was a child, so I'm very sensitive to their scents."
If anyone else had said this, the police officers would have likely dismissed it as nonsense.
But when the words came from Yang Lin's mouth, they seemed incredibly credible.
Even the officer who asked the question looked enlightened and said,
"Look at my brain, how could I forget what Director Yang does?"
"I heard netizens say online that Director Yang was raised by animals. It seems that's true."
"What? When was I raised by animals..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the police officers had already drawn their batons and were heading into the shop.
Seeing this, Yang Lin quickly followed.
However, when he entered the shop with the officers, the scene before him made him freeze.
From any angle, it looked like an ordinary street-side shop selling local Diannan specialties, with no trace of any wild animals.
A middle-aged couple, presumably the owners, rushed out and voluntarily presented various business and health permits.
Everything seemed perfectly normal.
Yang Lin frowned. He trusted that the system wouldn't be wrong.
But the police officers didn't know about the system.
"Director Yang, we've searched the entire shop and found no signs of wild animals. Do you think you might have misjudged?"
Since no evidence could be found, the officer asked Yang Lin with a bewildered expression.
But just as he finished speaking, Yang Lin walked towards the iron cage by the entrance.
The next second, to everyone's confusion, he opened the cage.
The Mongolian Mastiff inside immediately scrambled out and began barking ferociously.
Just as everyone expected it to attack, the Mongolian Mastiff ran straight into the shop.
To the terrified gazes of the middle-aged couple, the Mongolian Mastiff began barking furiously at a box of beer bottles.
Seeing this, a thoughtful expression dawned on Yang Lin's face.
Under the panicked expressions of the middle-aged couple, he slowly lifted the box of beer and kicked aside the seemingly ordinary cardboard beneath it.
Instantly, a hidden trapdoor, completely out of place with the surrounding floor, appeared before everyone.
At that moment, the officers shouted and apprehended the middle-aged couple.
Simultaneously, Yang Lin lifted the trapdoor.
As light streamed into the room below, a scene that horrified everyone unfolded before their eyes.
Inside the room beneath the trapdoor, iron cages for housing wild animals were stacked.
And within these cages were clearly numerous wild animals, including some classified as national first-level protected species.
As these wild animals were revealed, the middle-aged couple immediately collapsed to the ground.
ps: That's all for today. To clarify, there will be some mutated or extinct animals appearing later, but they will generally be based on real animals. No overly grotesque creatures will be present.
Alright, goodnight everyone, tomorrow is another early morning for work.
