Lao Wu’s dizziness was not fake, as evidenced by the sudden pause in his emotional aura.
Feng Yi curled his lips.
Never mind, this one is useless, let me ask another one.
According to what he just heard, who else knew the inside story and planned all this
The one who ran away seemed to be the "boss" among them
He is so cunning and cruel. He ran so fast and left his brother behind so decisively.
Generally speaking, the boss must know the most and is the one who makes the plans, so he cannot be let go.
But there is no rush.
Feng Yi tied up the three unconscious people here.
Except for the one who fainted directly, the other two were dragged over. Feng Yi found some ropes in their luggage. Judging from the smell of the ropes, they were used to tie up goods or other prey in the past, but now they were particularly suitable for use on the three of them.
Tie up your legs and feet, tie them up tightly.
Block your mouth too!
Huh? The guy next to me seems to be waking up!
Come again!
Just when the person was about to wake up, Feng Yi knocked him unconscious again.
The three were tied up and thrown into the tent. All their weapons, equipment, tools, and goods were searched out, including the tent.
Finally, close the tent, leaving only a few holes for ventilation.
Feng Yi looked around again, picked up the steel shovel that he had bent, and straightened the metal rod.
It was dark and nothing could be seen clearly. Everything happened suddenly. "Lao Wu" had no idea how the steel shovel was beaten. He couldn't see it and didn't pay attention. He was probably confused at the time.
Feng Yi straightened the shaft of the steel shovel. Although there were still signs of damage, it did not prove that it was Feng Yi who did it. He could also put the blame on the poachers themselves - it looked like it was used frequently, so who knew what they had done with the shovel
The rest is just gibberish from people who were frightened unconscious, and is not very credible.
Anyway, Feng Yi was wearing a mask, so no one knew it was him.
Feng Yi was very satisfied with this dark and harsh environment. For him, it was simply the perfect cover!
Calculating the time, the "Boss" has been running for a while. Wait a little longer and let him run a little further.
Feng Yi has his own ideas.
When he was eavesdropping before, these people were calling each other "Boss", "Second Brother", "Third Brother", "Fifth Brother" and so on. Now there are only three of them. Including the "Boss" who escaped, there are only four people, which means that this gang has other members.
The "boss" who escaped quickly must have gone to look for the remaining members.
After a while, Feng Yi only needs to follow the "boss's" trail and he will probably be able to find the remaining members.
A group of brothers, of course, have to get together and be happy, no one can be missing!
While waiting, Feng Yi had nothing to do, so he took the bent steel shovel and shoveled the snow on the ground around the tent, burying half of the tent.
Feng Yi stopped only when he saw that the entire tent was about to be buried.
The reason why he tied up these three people and threw them here was, firstly, that he didn't want to get involved in any deaths. Secondly, Feng Yi felt that if he handed these people over to professionals, he would definitely be able to find more clues.
Pulling out the radish will bring out the mud. It is obvious that this is a veteran poaching gang. From the poachers to the buyers, there are several links in between, and many people are involved.
Under the temptation of huge profits, I don’t know how many people are involved.
Of course, it is most reliable to leave this kind of thing to the authorities.
Feng Yi threw the steel shovel aside and found a stone to sit on.
In the wind and snow, in the cold and dark environment, Feng Yi acted as if nothing was wrong and his movements were not affected at all.
The cold wind blew, and with Feng Yi's breathing, the "snake tongue" on the mask moved in and out.
Feng Yi picked up the bag containing the money and opened it to take a look.
It was filled with cash and banknotes, about half a million yuan.
From the conversations Feng Yi had heard before and the complaints from "Old Five", it was clear that the money was for the kidnapper. The kidnapper was the one who went to the shed with the intention of kidnapping Feng Yi.
"Five hundred thousand? Kidnapping me is only worth five hundred thousand!"
This is incredible!
Feng Yi stared at the bundles of banknotes.
After all, I am an Internet celebrity and an expert in the Joint Security Bureau!
One kidnapping is only worth 500,000? !
Combined with what those people said...
In other words, these poachers paid someone to kidnap him for half a million dollars, and then sold him for another ten million dollars? !
So damn smart!
Moreover, think about it, the casual way these poachers talked, as if kidnapping people was no different from kidnapping pigs. It’s obvious that they do this a lot!
I was too gentle just now!
Tsk.
If it weren't for the weather and the need to keep people alive, and not to kill anyone, Feng Yi would definitely go back and beat them up so that they broke bones and caused internal bleeding!
Putting the bag containing the money aside, Feng Yi continued to look through their goods.
The goods they had with them were not much, and some of the animal skins were probably collected from others.
Oh my god! There is even a snow leopard skin!
Judging from the smell, this piece of leather was made not long ago.
It still has to be handed over to the authorities for investigation!
The authorities should be able to track down other scattered poachers and some people who poach in secret through this group of people. Feng Yi himself does not have so much time and energy to investigate such things.
He checked the things around the tent again and put away the dangerous animal traps. Feng Yi looked at the time and decided to go find the leader who had escaped.
Feng Yi was a little surprised as he identified the smell in the air.
The other party ran faster than he expected!
As expected of a boss, he runs faster than others!
Running so fast in this kind of climate environment shows that he knows this place well enough and has made sufficient preparations!
As expected, to be able to commit crimes for so many years and avoid official arrest, he must be very scheming and capable!
On the other side, the "boss" who slipped away quickly had cursed in his heart thousands of times at this time.
At the same time, he was also glad that he escaped quickly!
He was very alert, not only to outsiders, but also to other brothers in the gang. The more critical the moment, the more he could not let his guard down. Therefore, he would wake up at the slightest movement.
When the third brother got up and went outside, he came to his senses. He wanted to prevent the third brother from doing anything that would be detrimental to him.
As soon as the light from the flashlight outside flickered, he knew something was wrong. The third brother always held the flashlight very steadily and it would not shake so drastically.
Regardless of whether it was the fault of the third brother or some other accident, the eldest brother decisively shot an arrow in that direction. It is better to kill someone by mistake than to let go of any suspicious behavior!
Soon, he guessed that there were other people coming over, no matter if they were official people or just someone who wanted to rob his gang, they were not easy to deal with.
So he woke up the second and fifth brothers, and while the two went to fight the intruder, he slipped away first.
Listening to the sound of the wind and the movement in the tent, it was likely that Lao Er and Lao Wu were unable to stop them, so he quickened his pace and took another escape route that he had not told the rest of the gang about. There was already a rope there.
Even the second in command, who is recognized by the team as knowing the local terrain best, didn't know that the eldest brother had done this.
The boss had made plans in advance. If they were traveling with several people, they would climb the mountain from another route, but if he was alone, he would go to this steep cliff and use a rope to go down.
Wearing a protective helmet, he didn't dare turn on the light. Although he bumped into the rock wall many times and there was snow and small stones falling from above, fortunately nothing serious happened.
Enduring the pain, I landed at the designated location and went down to another place. Lying in the snow, I looked around with night vision goggles and found a small path covered with snow. After walking for a while, I saw the road.
There was a car parked there. I don't know how long it had been there. There was a layer of snow on the windows.
He gasped and went over and knocked on the car door.
"Who?!" the person inside asked vigilantly.
"It's me, Lao Si Lao Liu, open the door quickly!"
The car door opened.
“Brother?!”
The two people inside looked surprised and looked behind the boss, but didn't see anyone else.
"Where are the second brother, the third brother and the fifth brother?" someone asked.
"Don't turn on the lights! Go in first!" The boss got into the car and closed the door.
The curtains inside the car were also drawn and the lights inside were turned on.
The warmth inside the car slightly warmed up his face, which had been stiffened by the wind and snow.
"Brother, what's going on? Why are you here at this time?" another person couldn't help but ask.
According to their plan, other people will arrive here tomorrow during the day and then leave together.
The eldest brother had a gloomy expression on his face: "Someone came over, and the second, third, and fifth brothers were all killed."
"Official people? Or someone else?"
"I don't know, but the opponent is very powerful, even Lao Wu couldn't stop him."
When saying this, the boss' eyes were heavy, his face was conflicted, and there was a strong reluctance in his eyes.
Upon hearing this, the two people in the car panicked.
Companionship
A little bit, but the feelings are not deep. Besides, in a crisis like this, of course, one's own life is more important.
Lao Liu, who was holding the shotgun, tightened his fingers and said, "Shall we drive away now?"
The boss was silent and thought for a moment. When he was warmer, he said, "Don't turn on the lights. It's easy to be discovered!"
It is really difficult to drive in this weather, especially at night. This road is not very safe. Cars cannot drive fast on the road and it is easy to be discovered. It is better to walk so that you can hide at any time if you find something wrong.
The geographical environment here is different from the other side. The other side is more desolate, but the further you go on this side, the more trees there are.
They left other cars in the woods five kilometers away.
Lao Liu said, "Then let's not drive and walk directly. Big brother, there is no time to lose. Let's set off now? Anyway, we have night vision glasses in the car, so we can travel at night."
The fourth brother next to him frowned. Judging from his appearance, he looked like an ordinary, honest and simple mountain dweller, who seemed to have no ulterior motives and usually had a low presence in the small group.
The fourth brother opened his mouth and said hesitantly, "There are still a lot of goods in this car. Are you just going to leave them like this? This is the goods that we hunted with great difficulty. Big brother, how about you take the sixth brother and leave first? I'll guard here, and if no one comes to find us, I'll drive to catch up with you guys."
Lao Liu thought this method would work.
There is indeed a lot of goods in the car. It would be a pity to give them up, but carrying them would affect the journey.
"What Fourth Brother said makes sense. It's not certain that someone will come so soon. Big Brother, how about we do as Fourth Brother said?"
The eldest brother sighed and said in a gentle voice: "Fourth brother, after this matter is over, we will not pursue the previous ones. We are all brothers!"
When the fourth brother heard this, he was shocked and cold sweat broke out on his back. He was sure that the things he had done secretly before had been known by his eldest brother!
The fourth brother stuttered: "Big... Big Brother."
The eldest brother patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember what I said." Without saying anything else to him, he and the sixth brother packed up their things and quickly got out of the car and left.
The fourth brother watched them walk away, looked around vigilantly, closed the car door, and let out a long breath.
He was the only one in the car, and Lao Si didn't shrink back as he did just now.
He straightened his stiff neck and locked the car door.
The car windows were slightly open for ventilation and covered with curtains. The lights inside the car were not bright and could not be seen from outside, but they were enough inside the car.
There were goods in the car that they had not had time to sell yet, and he really couldn't bear to part with them.
I opened a bag and took out the only two packed shahtoosh shawls left and hid them on my body. One was large and the other was small. They took up little space and were light when packed.
The shahtoosh shawl is thin and soft, and can be passed through a ring, so it is also called a ring shawl.
Although they hunt Tibetan antelopes and sell their wool, they also sell the made shahtoosh shawls from abroad to domestic buyers.
Compared with foreign buyers, although domestic buyers are few in number, they can still complete several transactions every year.
It was not convenient for him to carry the animal skins in the car, but two pairs of shahtoosh were easy for him to carry.
He took Shahtoosh's private job and could get a lot of money by handing it over to the buyer.
He had secretly sold several orders using everyone else's stuff without telling the rest of the gang. The "those in the past" that the boss just mentioned were referring to this.
However, they are all running away now. The second brother, the third brother and the fifth brother may not be able to escape. Who knows, they may break up after this time. It’s a waste to just leave the things here. It’s better to let him sell them for more money!
He did not wait in the car as he had just told his eldest brother, but instead put his things in his pocket and planned to get off the car and find a place to squat nearby.
This car is a big target and very dangerous!
Find a secret place to hide, and if you find anything wrong, run away immediately! He has already thought about where to hide next!
After this storm is over, he will sell all the goods he has and make a lot of money!
When he thought about the profits these could bring him, Lao Si showed excitement. The greedy smile on his seemingly simple face looked particularly incongruous.
Smiling.
Knock knock knock!
There was a knock on the car door.
The fourth brother's smile froze, and he instantly became alert, holding a gun in his hand.
"who?!"
There was no response from outside.
Knock knock knock!
There were three more knocks.
The fourth brother quietly turned off the lights in the car and carefully opened the curtain covering the window.
But there was a layer of snow covering the window, I couldn't see anything, and there was no light outside.
He didn't dare to open the car door or lower the window. It was definitely not Big Brother and Old Six outside!
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Ring again.
At the same time, a voice came from outside:
"Open~the~door~"
The voice was a little stiff, a little trembling, and hoarse, and it didn't sound very lively.
Fourth Brother: …
Dare not speak.
His facial muscles were tense and the hand holding the gun was slightly pale.
The cold wind blowing in from the gap in the car window made the hairs on my neck stand up.
At this time, the slightest chill would be magnified countless times!
The fourth brother is not as afraid of ghosts as the fifth brother, but that doesn't stop him from suspecting that the people outside are not good people!
"Who are you?" asked the fourth brother.
"A passerby~" said a voice outside.
There was a fierce look in the fourth brother's eyes. He took the flashlight, looked at the gun in his hand, suddenly opened the car door and was about to shoot outside.
However, when the flashlight shone over there.
There was a black bag on the ground, with the zipper open, revealing a bag full of money!
The fourth brother’s eyes widened.
At this moment, a shadow, like a poisonous snake staring at its prey, clamped the person down within a few tenths of a second.
Click.
The flashlight tumbled off.
The light shone obliquely on the sparse woods not far away.
Under the light, the overlapping shadows appear even more ferocious.
After throwing the unconscious person aside and kicking the weapon in his hand aside, Feng Yi got into the car.
There were a lot of animal skins in the car, all of which were protected animals of level one or two. It seemed that these people had committed a lot of murders in the reserve.
The smell of humans was mixed on them. Even if they didn't hunt them themselves, they must have collected them from other poachers. In addition to animal skins, there was also Tibetan antelope wool.
It's just a small group, but there are many people in contact with them, and the authorities are investigating.
Feng Yi got out of the car, kicked the unconscious person on the ground again, searched the man's body and found a shahtoosh shawl, and put it together with the animal skins in the car.
These are all evidence and must be kept away.
The man on the ground was skillfully tied up and locked in the car.
The scent of the boss and another person was left here. Feng Yi chased after them after he dealt with this place.
But after chasing for a short distance, Feng Yi stopped again.
Carefully distinguishing the smell in the air, he walked to the sparse woods nearby, followed the smell, came under a tree, and dug with his claws.
Beneath the snow, apart from the branches, leaves and dirt, there was a bag hidden inside.
Feng Yi took out the bag, shook off the debris and stones on it, unzipped it and saw what was inside.
Cash and gold bullion.
"Wow!"
Feng Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw this.
If someone could see his expression at this moment, they would find that the mask, which already had a weird style, became even more evil because of this smile, like a gloomy villain.
There was only one person's scent on the bag. Feng Yi looked at the bag, and the smile on his face became even more "sinister".
the other side.
The eldest and the sixth were not slow. They walked for a long distance and were getting closer and closer to where they hid the car.
Both of them were silent. Lao Liu actually wanted to ask something, but he noticed that the eldest brother was in a bad mood and did not dare to ask.
That’s right. Among those brothers, at least three were left behind, and it was not certain whether the fourth one left in the car could catch up.
Brothers of many years...
It is certain that the boss is in a bad mood.
Here, apart from the sound of wind, breathing, and the crunching sound of their steps on the snow, the only other sounds were.
And just at this moment.
Ding!
Ding-da, ding-da!
There was a crisp sound as if there was some piece of metal hitting something.
Lao Liu was alert: "Brother, did you hear..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Liu discovered that his elder brother's breathing became rapid, which showed that he was quite emotional.
Through his night vision goggles, he saw the look on his eldest brother's face and was so frightened that he forgot whatever he wanted to say.
It was the first time he saw his elder brother with such an expression.
Like an angry lion, it must have enough blood to quell its anger.
Lao Liu swallowed and asked carefully: "Brother, what is that sound?"
The boss' facial muscles twitched, and the strong murderous intent as if he wanted to devour people could be felt even without looking into his eyes.
Lao Liu couldn't help but step back, while carefully distinguishing the sound that came.
What does this sound mean
It actually made my brother so emotional.
The boss is really emotional now, and he wants to kill someone. If he takes off his night vision goggles, he will find that his eyes are bloodshot due to rage.
Listening to the clanging sounds, the boss would squeeze out a few words from between his teeth: "How could you... How dare you!"
Earlier in the car, when he told the fourth and sixth brothers that the situation was not right and they should leave first, and when he said that the second, third and fifth brothers were left behind, the struggle and reluctance on his face were genuine and genuine.
But he was not worried about his brothers in the small group. Even if everyone else in the small group was killed, he would not be so sad!
What made him feel sad was that he couldn't take his small treasury with him!
Before planning the retreat, he learned through secret channels that the official cleanup was very intense and that gang leaders like him would be the focus of attention, so he would have to lie low for a long time after escaping.
In the past few years, he kept some of the money he got from poaching and trafficking, as well as some shady things. He changed the rest into gold bars and hid them. Cash may not be useful when you take it out, but gold bars can be used anywhere!
That was his own little treasury, and no one else in the gang knew about it.
When he was planning this operation and making arrangements in advance, he had already thought that if it was convenient, he could take his own small treasury with him when he evacuated.
If it is inconvenient, let the small treasury remain hidden there. Anyway, the mountain range is so large, and few people come to this area, so the small treasury is very safe.
He will come back to get it after the storm is over.
Before the small treasury was moved here, he had been alone at home, listening to the wonderful sound of the gold bars being struck.
To him, that is truly the most beautiful sound in the world!
but now!
This voice was like a pair of invisible hands strangling his heart.
He didn't know who the other person was, or how he found him, but that didn't matter anymore.
All that cash! All that gold!
It fell into someone else's hands!
In the snowy mountains at night, someone turned out a bag, took out the gold nuggets, and threw them high into the air. The gold nuggets fell and hit other gold nuggets, making a crisp clanging sound.
The clanging sound continued to come, and the other party was telling him:
I discovered your secret yooooo!
The cold wind became even more bitter, blowing snowflakes across the mountains.
In the woods not far ahead was the car they had parked in advance.
A little further and they would be able to drive away.
but…
run
Are you willing?!
Are you willing?!
!
