In fact, Feng Yi was mentally prepared when he received this task.
If the matter wasn't serious or urgent, I would definitely not contact him suddenly at this time.
He had just received an excellent review score, and the target location was relatively close to his route to the north. It was also an emergency, so compared to eating, the mission of course took priority.
However, even if Feng Yi was mentally prepared, according to his plan, it would take at most half a day to accomplish it.
I didn't expect it until I got there...
“Five?!
Didn’t they say there was only one snake? "
Feng Yi stared at the person in front of him, an investigator from the Joint Security Bureau who was about the same age as him.
The young investigator also had a bad expression on his face. Of course, this was not directed at Feng Yi, but at this incident.
Because they didn't know the severity of the incident, the local police station only sent two rookies here. Generally speaking, two people work together to investigate, and it's a combination of old and new, but the local police station has been busy recently, so the two rookies' work is a little lighter, and they were sent here to deal with the sudden discovery of a king cobra in the ecological scenic area.
However, as more clues were discovered and in-depth investigations were conducted, it was discovered that there were five king cobras that escaped this time, not just one as previously reported!
"We just found out about it. We found clues in a villa near the scenic spot. We preliminarily estimate there are five clues. We have already reported it," said the investigator.
It's obvious that this was a gang crime that had been going on for many years and involved many people.
This time it was suspected to be an internal conflict within the gang. In order to retaliate, someone directly threw all five king cobras into the scenic area.
When the leader learned about this, he was furious and contacted multiple departments to set up a special investigation team. However, no matter how angry he was, even if he sent more people to investigate, it would take time, and the most important thing at the moment was to catch the five king cobras!
There were several extremely venomous snakes at once, either they were caught from the wild or they were raised illegally.
Because Feng Yi was a member of the Joint Security Bureau's expert committee and was urgently dispatched to assist in the search for the target, the investigators showed Feng Yi some of the information they had.
"There are no photos, but judging from the information we have, each one is likely to be four meters high! It is more likely that they are raised illegally," said the investigator.
Feng Yi was stunned when he heard this.
Four meters!
It's the length that Steve would pounce on!
We should have called Steve over. But Steve is overseas looking for equipment, so he wouldn't be able to come even if he knew.
Feng Yi looked around and saw two firefighters searching not far away.
"You haven't caught any yet?" Feng Yi asked.
"The geographical environment here is complex, and there are too many factors that interfere with the capture. After receiving the alarm, the fire department was dispatched urgently, but when they arrived, the snake was no longer there," said the investigator.
This area is an ecological scenic spot with a large area. Unlike Feng Yi's residential area near Yueshan in the suburbs of Yongcheng, there are many residential areas nearby, as well as a large amusement park. It is not far from the city center, and countless residents take a walk here every day.
The presence of one king cobra of this size would have already caused concern among nearby residents, and now that investigation has revealed that there are five of them, it will definitely cause panic!
No, it has caused panic!
While Feng Yi was listening to the investigators talking about the information they had found, he was walking towards the side of the scenic area where the smell of snakes was stronger.
On the way, I heard a property manager of a nearby community saying to other residents nearby: "Just now I saw an owner crying and looking for his pet cat. He was afraid that the cat that escaped had been eaten by a snake. In the end, he found that the cat was eating and drinking for free at the neighbor's house..."
The investigator also heard the conversation, but did not find it funny. Instead, he said to Feng Yi with a serious look, "There are many residents in the nearby community, and it has caused panic. People who walk their pets no longer dare to lead them here, and they don't dare to bring their children here. Not to mention children, even adults don't dare to come here."
Hearing this, Feng Yi looked at the group of residents watching from a distance. There were old, middle-aged and young people, all of them were adults.
The young investigator was embarrassed for a moment, but quickly adjusted himself: "… They were just here to gather information. They were acting in groups and didn't dare to act alone."
Feng Yi heard several loud voices talking in the crowd not far away:
"I heard it's this big! It's thicker than my arm! The venom is so strong, will I be able to get to the hospital in time if I get bit? Should I just run or lie down?"
"A king cobra, very fierce. Do you know why it is called 'Mountain Wind'? Because it runs as fast as the wind!"
"Uh... isn't it named because the sound it makes when crawling on the grass is very similar to the sound of the wind blowing on the mountain?"
"Wait, why did I hear that it's because the sound of its attack is like the wind?"
"I have never been attacked or chased by a king cobra, so I don't know if the sound of its attack really sounds like the wind. If anyone has experienced this, please remember to tell us in the owner group!"
The debate over the nickname of the King Cobra did not produce any result, and soon the debate turned into scolding those people who raised and released snakes in residential areas.
"How vicious! How vicious!"
"Do they know what this is? How much harm it will cause? Sentence them! They must be sentenced!"
"Although the king cobra is a protected species, for everyone's safety, it is recommended that it be humanely destroyed!"
"We have invited firefighters and experts to come over. I believe they can handle it."
"Is that young man the expert? The one who was walking with the FBI investigator?"
"Hey! It's the guy who's famous on the Internet and is good at catching snakes! What's his name... Feng... Feng something snake something..."
As Feng Yi walked away, the discussions over there also became fainter with distance.
He sniffed the scent that lingered in the air.
It was indeed a king cobra, there should be five of them. The reason why I was not sure was because it had just rained here, and there were some other disturbances, so the five snakes were still acting separately. It had been a while since the incident, and depending on the distance of the target, some had a stronger smell, while others had a weaker smell.
Just look at the ground environment of this scenic area and you will know that searching is somewhat difficult. Even if a king cobra is hiding under a pile of branches in front of you, it may not be found.
"Do you think it is wild or farmed?" the investigator asked.
"They are domesticated." Feng Yi confirmed, "They don't have any gamey smell."
The investigator was confused: Game
Feng Yi didn't waste any more time: "Let's get started, let's go catch..."
Feng Yi was about to say to catch the closest one, but suddenly he heard a scream:
“There’s a snake!
!”
Feng Yi, the people from the Joint Security Bureau, and the firefighters who stayed nearby, rushed over there.
Residents who came to inquire about the news or watch the excitement were also curious, but because they were stopped, those who wanted to find out could only take a detour, and on the way they were still saying:
"I don't know who is so unlucky."
"From the sound of his voice, he looks quite young, maybe a child?"
“Hey, didn’t the owners group tell us to keep an eye on our pets and children? Why are they letting them out?”
"This must be the result of irresponsible parents, a problem with the guardians! Don't you agree, Lao Li? Lao Li, why are you running away? Let the experts go first, there's no need to rush!"
The person next to him said, "It seems to be his child! Old Li's face turned pale with fear. Do you think he is anxious?!"
The location from which the sound originates.
A young boy in school uniform screamed and watched the giant snake trying to crawl into the narrow crevice in front of him.
The child was also very fierce. In a hurry, he rushed over and grabbed the animal's tail to prevent it from going in.
After grabbing the snake's tail, he suddenly realized what he had done, his face turned pale, and he screamed again.
The king cobra, whose tail was pulled and was about to drill into the crevice in front of it, suddenly turned around.
From the "l" shape just now to the "n" shape.
The boy was so scared that he let go of the snake's tail and ran away, shouting "Help" as he ran.
Feng Yi arrived first.
The king cobra originally had no intention of chasing the child. When it saw Feng Yi, it stood up and prepared for a defensive attack.
The investigator from the Joint Guarantee Bureau who followed closely behind did not have time to wonder why Feng Yi was running so fast through the bushes and large weeds. He also did not even have time to catch his breath and was ready to hand the tools in his hands to Feng Yi.
Before he could even open his mouth, Feng Yi walked straight over without stopping.
Without any preparation or tools, he waved his hand as if to say hello and grabbed the king cobra that stood up.
It can be said to be so easy, as if it were done effortlessly!
The young investigator was stunned again.
He finally understood why some colleagues would say "Feng Yi's skills are not worth referring to" when they mentioned Feng Yi.
Anyone who follows Feng Yi's method to catch a snake is very likely to be bitten!
Feng Yi walked over holding the king cobra. His posture seemed as if he was holding not a giant poisonous snake but some long toy.
"Where is the bag that contained the snake?" Feng Yi asked.
"Bring it here immediately! Hold it tightly first!" said the investigator, observing the big snake in Feng Yi's hand.
"It's obviously a domesticated one! It's so fat that it's almost oozing with oil!" Feng Yi said, "Relatively speaking, its temperament is relatively docile."
Seeing the snake being caught, the boy in school uniform ran back: "..."
docile?!
The moment the king cobra turned around and rushed towards him, he clearly felt the murderous intent!
You call this docile?!
It turns out that we can’t listen to everything experts say!
It is indeed docile for experts, but for ordinary people, it is enough to scare nightmares!
The fragile psychology of minors cannot withstand such fear!
As the boy was thinking this, he was about to go closer to take a look, but someone grabbed his collar from behind, and then slapped him twice.
The parents who rushed over did not listen to the boy's words. They first took him away from the dangerous area and then waited to see how he would argue!
Seeing the boy being taken away by his parents, Feng Yi continued to talk to the investigator about the problem of the king cobra.
"The venom gland has been removed." Feng Yi said, grabbing the snake's head.
Investigator: “How do you know?”
Feng Yi: "I can tell at a glance."
The investigator did not argue, but said: "The head is full and the face is in good shape. If a devenom gland surgery was performed, it should have been done by a professional who cut off the venom tube. It is more likely to be sold as a pet."
Feng Yi felt a pain in his cheek, but he didn't show it on his face.
The investigator didn't know what Feng Yi was thinking. He had heard a lot about Feng Yi and believed that Feng Yi's judgment was likely correct.
He was not surprised by Feng Yi's judgment. He had guessed it when he saw the size of this giant venomous snake.
Generally, this kind of venomous snake is kept for its venom or other valuable parts, or it is sold privately as a pet.
However, these are just their guesses. After catching the snake, they will be handed over to a specialist for inspection.
Feng Yi’s task was just to catch the snake.
Feng Yi put the captured snakes into the bag handed to him. He thought about the case handling procedures here and estimated that even if he caught all five snakes, he would not be able to leave immediately.
While looking for the second snake, I sent a message to Fengchi:
Cancel the order. I can't make it in time.
