Private sleuth Sun Jinrong brings heat detectors, tiny surveillance cameras, and a blow dart loaded with a tranquiliser in his search for one desperate client's missing loved one: A cat named Duoduo, according to AFP.
Unlike Jim Carrey's goofy Ace Ventura character, the man dubbed by China's media as the nation's first pet detective is a stoney-faced animal lover who solve cases with the help of high-tech gear worth thousands of dollars.
With dogged determination, Sun has reunited around 1,000 missing pets with their owners since he launched his business seven years ago, AFP also added.
Clients pay 8,000 yuan ($1,130) for the service provided by his company, which has 10 employees and is based in the eastern city of Shanghai.
