Two police cars sounded their sirens and drove toward the east at lightning speed.
The eastern dividing line of Highway 8 refers to the location where Sunset Town and Aocheng separate. It is thirty kilometers away from the center of the town. It seems far away, but because the road is flat and not blocked, it can be reached in just fifteen minutes. .
Several cars were parked on the side of the road, and more than a dozen people were standing on the side of the road watching something. Seeing this scene in the car, Lao Wang's heart sank. It seemed that it was not a false alarm, something serious had happened!
When the police car arrived, these people got out of the way. Lao Wang got out of the car and walked over sullenly, asking: "I am the town police chief. Who reported the case? Please introduce the situation."
A blond young woman in her thirties raised her arms and said: "It's me, Sheriff, my name is Brittney Khakila, you can call me Bran, twenty minutes ago I saw a lot of growth on the roadside. I was attracted by the flowers and wanted to get out of the car to take pictures, and then I found out about it! I swear to God, this is really an outrageous, horrible, bad thing!”
There were other sounds around:
"Yes, damn it! The murderer must be caught and punished!"
"Send him to jail!"
"No, he should be sent to hell! This damn bastard! He is definitely a bastard!"
Wang Bo walked to the roadside and looked into the grassland. He didn't find the body, so he asked: "Hey guys, please be quiet first. Everyone retreats while the police handle the case. Who will tell me where the body is?"
"The Sheriff is hanging on the tree, are you blind?" someone said.
It was hard to hear what he said, but a group of people showed expressions of normality, and it was clear that these words spoke out their feelings.
There is indeed a tree on the grass not far from the road. It is the eucalyptus almond given to him by Eva. It was still a sapling when they planted it. In less than two months, it is already as thick as a child's arm and it is growing so fast. Astonishing.
The small tree is now about one and a half meters tall, with a crown that is only a little larger. There are buds growing on the branches, but no leaves yet. It looks like a dry log, without the overwhelming momentum of an adult eucalyptus almond.
Lao Wang never thought about the relationship between this murder case and a small tree that was not as tall as him. When he stood on the roadside, he just scanned the grass, so he found nothing.
After hearing the reminder, he looked at the almond eucalyptus. There were several dead cats hanging on it. Five dead cats to be exact, one big cat and four kittens. These cats were hung on the tree crown, covered with wounds and blood. It looked miserable.
After discovering these dead cats, Lao Wang frowned. These cats obviously did not die naturally. Judging from the hideous wounds on their bodies, they must have been tortured and killed.
Lao Wang was very angry about this, but what does this have to do with the serious case of human life
Looking back at the middle-aged woman Britney, Lao Wang asked: "I think I am not blind, but who can tell me where the victim's body is?"
Britney also had a questioning look on her face: "What victim? It's a cat! It's the bodies of these cats!"
Lao Wang's expression changed slightly. He stared at Atulu who was running over and asked, "Didn't you tell me that someone called the police and a serious murder case occurred here? Didn't someone get killed?!"
Atulu nodded and said: "Yes, the police call I received said that a serious murder case had occurred..."
"It's not a serious case of human life, it's a serious case of life. I called the police. No one died, but someone tortured and killed a cute cat here! My God, how could someone be so cruel? My God..." Britney said The circles under his eyes were red, and he even started to choke.
Lao Wang was stunned. He was driving at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour just now because he was frightened by the serious murder case. He was even worried that he couldn't handle it, so he notified Sheriff Smith on the way to ask them to come for assistance.
As a result, now that I have taken off my pants, you are going to show me this? Is this the serious life case that scared him all the way
The most hateful thing is that after listening to Britney's words, Atulu scratched his head and said to Lao Wang: "Oh, boss, maybe I heard wrong. At that time, I thought it was a serious human life case, and I was so excited..."
"Fake!" Lao Wang couldn't bear it anymore. If he didn't use foul language at this time, he would go crazy!
There is no doubt that cat abuse is a very cruel thing. If he meets the murderer, Lao Wang will definitely beat such a person, but this is incomparable to a serious case of human life. It cannot be compared at all!
Lao Wang glared at Atulu with an unkind expression and said angrily: "Calm down when you receive a call from the police in the future! You have lost all face as a police officer!"
After hearing this, Britney looked at him angrily and said, "Sheriff, what do you mean by this? I think you don't seem to take this matter seriously!"
Lao Wang explained: "I take it very seriously, madam, this is a serious case, but I think you have to understand that cat abuse cases and human murder cases are ultimately different, right?"
He felt that what he said was logical and correct, but Britney became even more angry after hearing this. Her face turned red and she said angrily: "Shameful remarks! Shameful remarks! Shameful remarks! All living beings are equal, All things have equal power, Sheriff, and I’m telling you, a cat’s life is just as important as a human’s!”
Atulu couldn't see his boss being questioned, or he wanted to add some points to his impression in Lao Wang's mind. After all, he had made a big mistake today, so he said to Britney: "If what you said is correct , then don’t eat chicken, duck, beef and mutton…”
"I'm a vegetarian..."
"Then don't eat fruits and vegetables. They are also life and all living beings are equal." The Maori said eloquently.
Lao Wang pushed him away and said randomly: "Shut up, Atulu, this is handling a case, not a debate! Go and make notes for this lady, and I'll take a look at the situation!"
Britney pushed Atulu away and said to him: "You'd better take this matter seriously, Sheriff, find the murderer and let him receive the punishment he deserves."
Two more police cars whined and drove over, coming from the direction of the small town. Needless to say, people from the Aocheng Police Department must have arrived.
Seeing Smith, Robert and others getting out of the car, Lao Wang looked a little embarrassed and paralyzed. He was going to be embarrassed.
"Wang, where is the victim's body? Ramon, prepare for an autopsy." Sheriff Smith asked as soon as he got out of the car.
Lao Wang smiled and went up to explain the matter, and finally said: "I'm so sorry, Sheriff, I was too reckless today, please forgive me, I have caused trouble for your work."
Chief Smith has a particularly big advantage, that is, he has a good personality. After hearing this, he burst into laughter, then waved his hand and said: "It's okay, King, haha, you remind me of the days when I first joined the job. Well, anyway, our forensic doctor is here Now, Ramon, go check on those abused cats.”
As a result, their attitude made Britney dissatisfied again. Not only Britney, but also other onlookers stopped working and started criticizing them:
"Guys, what's this attitude?"
"A cat abuse case is not a case, is it? When can New Zealanders disrespect life like this?"
"We want the truth, the damn truth!"
