Chapter 3853: Chapter 3841: Lin Yi’s Solution
"Have you ever considered that there are many children in the neighborhood who might be afraid of dogs? If the dogs aren’t leashed, they could scare the kids.
"I already said, our dog is very obedient. It always stays by my feet and doesn’t go anywhere. How could it possibly scare others?"
The words of the middle-aged woman drew agreement from others.
"Our dog is very timid. It’s normally scared of people, let alone barking at them."
"Stop saying that our dog scares others. A few days ago, a child scared our dog, and if I weren’t a kind-hearted Buddhist, I would have demanded compensation."
Facing the clamor of these people, even Lin Yi felt overwhelmed.
How do they even think of saying such shameless things?
"Everyone, hold on a second. Now is not the time to emphasize how obedient your dogs are. There is a clear regulation from the relevant department: dogs must be leashed, and you must have a health certificate and a pet ownership certificate. You should be aware that you’re violating the regulations."
"Don’t talk to us about this. Now that the dog has been poisoned to death, you must give us an explanation."
"Regarding the poisoned dog, you can talk to the police about it when they arrive. We are journalists from the TV station here to investigate the issue of unleased dogs."
"What’s there to investigate? Do you have nothing better to do?"
"Watch your language. They’re journalists from the TV station, so speak more politely." Chen Daxian said:
"This society operates on the rule of law, not on whatever you decide to do."
"Stop with the nonsense. Quickly rat out your accomplices, or when the police arrive, you’ll be executed by firing squad."
Zhao Yuhuan sighed helplessly, feeling these people were too ignorant to say things like that.
"Who called the police?"
At this moment, a voice came from behind.
Everyone turned to see that the police had arrived.
"Officer, you’re finally here. Our dog has been poisoned to death. You must seek justice for us."
The speaker was a woman in her 30s, very thin, well-maintained, and looking young. Tears lingered at her eyes as she held the dog’s corpse like it was a child.
Hearing this, the police remained expressionless.
They had been to this neighborhood many times before, almost always because of dog-related issues. Despite stern warnings each time, these dog owners just wouldn’t listen.
"How many dogs have been poisoned to death?"
"A total of four."
"Have you had them examined?" the police asked sternly.
"Is there a need for an examination? Our dog ate a piece of sausage on the ground and then died. It’s the same for others. Someone must have poisoned them." The very thin woman asserted confidently.
"What you say isn’t proof. We need the results of an examination. However, we will review the neighborhood’s surveillance footage and try to get to the bottom of this, so you get an answer."
"Officer, there’s no need to investigate. We know who the culprit is."
The middle-aged woman, who was yelling earlier, pointed to Chen Daxian and others while hugging her dog, saying:
"It must be their accomplices who poisoned and killed the dogs. If they dare to poison dogs today, they’ll dare to kill people tomorrow. Such people should be tried and executed."
"All of you, say less! We’re all neighbors; speak more politely to each other."
The police’s serious attitude had a substantial effect, silencing the clamoring dog owners.
"We will review the surveillance tapes. You all should disperse now; let’s leave it at that."
"Officer, their dogs pee and poop everywhere. They’ve urinated near my car several times. What should be done about that?" Chen Daxian asked.
The police looked helplessly at the dog owners.
"We’ve told you many times: dogs must be leashed and can’t relieve themselves everywhere. If this continues, we’ll take your dogs away, and don’t say we didn’t warn you."
Using this topic, the police educated the dog owners again before leaving.
And the farce dispersed unhappily.
After leaving the property office, Chen Daxian and others gathered around Lin Yi.
"Journalist, you saw how shameless these people are, not listening to reason. Now we have to trouble you to see if there’s a way to solve this issue."
Lin Yi nodded, "Although this matter isn’t huge, it’s quite troublesome because we can’t identify a main culprit. But don’t worry, I’ll try my best to find a solution."
"Alright, alright, you’re our only hope. You must help us solve this."
"Today, let’s leave it at this. We’ll go back and think of solutions. Keep your phone on, and I’ll contact you anytime."
After chatting a bit more, Lin Yi left with Zhao Yuhuan.
"Lin Bro, I’m getting a headache. There are so many dog owners in the neighborhood. Things like this are impossible to prevent completely."
"Our goal isn’t to eliminate it but to get them to keep their dogs properly. That way, the objective is met."
Lin Yi said:
"To say something irresponsible, we’re running an account and need online traffic. I predict this topic will spark discussion across the internet, especially involving those unreasonable people, which will incite public outrage. What netizens truly want to see isn’t an apology from them or proper dog ownership but rather..."
"Come on, Lin Bro, stop keeping me in suspense. Just tell me."
"...but rather for them to realize their mistakes through harsh methods. Only then will it be gratifying, and we’ll get more traffic."
Zhao Yuhuan pondered Lin Yi’s words carefully.
"Lin Bro, I think I understand what you mean. Are you saying you want to work with the authorities to take their dogs away?"
"Yes, only then will they learn."
"But the problem is, as Chen Daxian mentioned, the urban management tried that before, but someone laid on the ground and wouldn’t get up. The urban management got scared of taking responsibility, so they never came again."
"That’s why I need to understand the legal regulations in this area, to see if liability is required in such situations."
Zhao Yuhuan checked the time, "It’s already noon. Let’s grab lunch and then find a law firm to consult a lawyer about this issue."
"I have friends in this field. I’ve got it covered. You can go back and make the video in the afternoon, and leave the rest to me."
"We’re on the same salary, yet you do more work than me, making me feel embarrassed."
Lin Yi smiled, "If you’re really embarrassed, just treat me to lunch."
"Hehe, no problem."
