Shen Xin nodded thoughtfully.
If what Zhou Huayong said was true, then Yang Zeran's earlier theory—that the three of them had colluded to kill the female giant panda and falsely claim credit for a rescue—wouldn't hold water.
Liu Baoli had been a Patrol Officer for so many years; he should have known how severe the consequences of killing a giant panda were.
Besides, the reward was only a thousand yuan, with no promotion. The income was completely disproportionate to the risk.
'So even if something did happen,' Shen Xin reckoned, 'it must have been something else.'
Shen Xin didn't press the matter further.
They were here to see the scene now. He hadn't read the case file yet, and asking too many questions might cloud his judgment.
At most, he would just get a general understanding of the people involved first.
Shen Xin then asked Zhou Huayong if he knew anything about Wang Shulin and Wang Erpeng.
