I have a wildlife zoo

"But what exactly is so great about the smart surveillance system we've been rewarded with?"

Fang Ye inquired about the system, and learned that the set of surveillance probes and displays were no different from ordinary monitoring equipment; its strength lay in the software. Only on m v|le|mp|yr

Whenever the surveillance probes detected situations like theft, fighting, or visitors fainting, the screen would automatically switch to the relevant view, alerting the security staff.

Moreover, it had been specifically trained for scenarios found in zoos, able to detect uncivilized behaviors such as feeding animals, climbing over barriers, or pounding on the glass!

After seeing these occurrences, the monitor could then use the intercom to direct other staff members to handle the situation, or they could use nearby loudspeakers to address the issue.

Fang Ye was quite satisfied with this reward!

He said to He Yifei, "Send me that police officer's WeChat."

"Alright."

The police officer's WeChat name was Guanhu Branch Station Old Wang.

Fang Ye added him on WeChat, explained his identity, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, got down to business, "Our zoo's security indeed has many loopholes, and we've been quite scared after this incident. I've already contacted to order a set of surveillance systems, but I still need to hear from the professionals about where to install it.

I heard from Ho that you are willing to help us with guidance; may I know when you are available?"

Guanhu Branch Station Old Wang replied, "Then we'll come over at 9 AM tomorrow."

Fang Ye exclaimed, "Wow, that's quick. Thanks for the trouble."

Old Wang responded, "Don't mention it, just doing my job."

Fang Ye then asked, "By the way, Officer Wang, have those tiger thieves been interrogated yet? Our little white tiger is worth at least a few million; that would be considered a particularly large theft amount, wouldn't it? How many years would that get them?"

Old Wang chuckled, "Ah, a case of stealing tigers, that's not something I've come across before. Personally, I think they're more likely to be convicted and punished under Article 341 of the Criminal Law, for the crime of transporting precious, endangered wildlife.

Tigers are a first-class protected species in our country, and since their attempt to steal the tiger was unsuccessful, it should start with a minimum sentence of five years.

Moreover, these two individuals have prior records, one for fighting and the other for poaching birds, so they might receive a heavier sentence. But the exact verdict still depends on the judge."

Fang Ye's mood immediately lifted, "Good to hear, thank you, Officer Wang!"

...

The next morning arrived at the agreed-upon time.

Fang Ye asked on WeChat, and Old Wang replied that he was coming by bus, so Fang Ye went to the bus stop to meet him.

The bus arrived, and seven or eight men and women got off.

The first to alight was a slightly fat-faced old man in a police uniform, with meticulously combed hair revealing strands of silver, but his eyes were very bright, exuding an air of wisdom, and he was holding a notebook in his hand.

This was Old Wang!

The others were not in police uniforms, but from the way they stood together familiarly, they must be colleagues.

How could installing a surveillance system bring so many police officers?

Although Fang Ye was surprised, he still greeted them warmly and said, "Officer Wang, you look more spirited than in your profile picture on WeChat. If I didn't know better, I'd think you were forty."

"Haha, Zoo Director Fang is also youthful and promising, managing such a large zoo at a young age."

The officers behind them found the conversation a bit awkward, and a young man couldn't help but remind, "This is our Chief Wang!"

Fang Ye was startled, "Chief Wang, my apologies, my apologies."

He had taken He Yifei's words to heart and thought Old Wang was just an old police officer.

"Hey, what Chief Wang, just call me Old Wang or Officer Wang."

Old Wang gestured towards the others and explained with a smile, "There's not much to do for fun in Linhai; the young ones usually spend their time off on their phones or computers, playing games like LoL. I said since we were coming to the zoo today, they might as well come along and have some fun."

Fang Ye glanced over and saw that apart from one good-looking young man who seemed expectant, most of the others were indifferent, treating it as just a regular walk—indeed, lovers of animals always seem to be the handsome and pretty ones. Someone seemed a bit gloomy, probably there just to fit in with the group.

He didn't mind and said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome! I'll let the ticket booth know that our police comrades and their families can visit free of charge today."

Old Wang suddenly became serious, "Nah, that's not right, we should pay for the tickets as usual."

"Well, can it be on the house for today, at least? I'll treat. The tickets are quite cheap, only 10 yuan each."

"Even if it's cheap, no. I'm here on duty, so I can get in for free."

Respecting someone's principles is more important than a free ticket. Fang Ye no longer insisted and waited for everyone to buy their tickets and come in, then he led the way for Old Wang.

The young people lagged behind, chatting in dribs and drabs, "I haven't been to the zoo in so long. The last time I went to the zoo, I think I was 15 and just graduated from junior high. I went to Capital City during vacation, and my uncle took me to the zoo."

"Mine was even longer ago; I only went once when I was in elementary school. I can't remember anything I saw."

"Oh man, I've never been to a zoo, so don't even mention it."

In fact, many children who grow up in the city have never been to a zoo.

If there is a zoo locally, they might go for a visit during holidays, otherwise, when they travel, it's usually to see historical sites, famous mountains, and other tourist attractions.

Not to mention that with such engaging anime, games, and novels nowadays, many otaku prefer staying at home during holidays rather than going out—let alone visiting a zoo.

"If you ask me, there's really nothing much to see at the zoo, it's less interesting than going to a cat café and watching kittens being cute."

"Wow, I wouldn't have figured that a guy with bushy eyebrows and big eyes like you would be into cat cafés."

"No way man, I want to go to a cat café but haven't been yet, just watching cat videos online at home."

"Ugh, I was actually supposed to rank up with the guys today."

"Forget about gaming, we all haven't been to the zoo for a while. It's nice to visit every now and then. By the way, this zoo has a white tiger, aren't you curious to see it?"

"Hmm, kind of curious."

Such a rare case of tiger stealing naturally spread through the police station in no time. Not only the Guanhu Branch Station but other branches in Linhai City had heard about it too.

The handsome guy in the white shirt said, "The little white tiger is still a baby and needs careful care. It'll be another two months before visitors can see it; you probably won't be able to see it now."

His companions expressed surprise, "Wow, you seem to know a lot?"

The young man in the white shirt laughed, "When I heard there was a white tiger in Linhai Zoo, I got curious and looked it up online. I found a lot of videos of the zoo director interacting with the animals. The little white tiger is super cute! There may not be many animals here, but they all have their own charm. I'm sure no one will be disappointed today."

Really? The group was skeptical.
