"Little monkey! Little monkey! A bad guy has caught the little monkey!" Wang Shiyu has sharp eyes and was the first to notice this scene. She excitedly stood on the bench of the cable car and shouted to the outside, tears of anxiety flowing directly on her little face.
Ye Chui frowned and looked towards the bottom of the cable car. After the man with a gloomy feeling stuffed the little monkey into the sack, he looked around vigilantly. He seemed not to notice the cable car passing by above him and hurried down the mountain with the sack on his back.
There are many monkeys living on Taofeng Mountain, which are Chinese macaques. It is absolutely forbidden to capture this kind of wild animal. Looking at the appearance of the man below, he obviously does not look like a decent person. What is he going to do by catching monkeys
The most important thing is that this monkey is exactly the one Wang Shiyu met in the crew, and the bracelet wrapped around its arm is the most important identification.
"Brother, brother, the little monkey was captured by the bad guys..." Wang Shiyu grabbed Ye Chui's clothes tightly, her little face full of tears, which was heartbreaking. It was the first time that Ye Chui saw her crying so sadly since his rebirth.
Han Yuyan, An Jing and Lin Wei were both a little at a loss, and hurriedly tried to comfort her.
Ye Chui looked outside through the cable car. The man's figure was no longer visible, but he seemed to be able to vaguely hear the monkey's shrill cry.
This kind of macaque that lives in the mountains is not a rare animal, but it is also prohibited by the country to capture it. Capturing monkeys is very risky, and this kind of wild adult monkey can never be kept as a pet. The man should not be selling it, but what else can he do besides selling it
A dark and cruel thought suddenly flashed through Ye Chui's mind, and he felt a chill all over his body.
He shook his head vigorously: It shouldn’t be because of that kind of thing…
The cable car stopped at the foot of the mountain. Ye Chui and others hurriedly got off the cable car, found the relevant person in charge of the tourist area at the foot of the mountain, and told them what they had seen on the cable car.
"Did someone catch the monkeys on the mountain?" The person in charge was stunned for a moment, and an angry look appeared on his face. "How could such a thing happen? I will definitely find a way to investigate the matter. This kind of thing must be stopped!"
"Is there any way to get the monkey back?" Ye Chui asked, glancing at Wang Shiyu, whose eyes were still red and swollen.
"It's hard to say..." The person in charge showed an embarrassment on his face, "But I really don't understand why they want to catch monkeys from the mountains. The country is very strict about this now, and animals of unknown origin cannot be sold for money. So we have never put much effort into management, but I didn't expect something like this to happen!"
Ye Chui talked to the person in charge again, but he could see that he was powerless to recover the little monkey, and the police were unlikely to care about this matter, as this was not an urban area. Ye Chui only saw someone taking a monkey away, and there was not enough evidence, because this matter was unlikely to cause the police to mobilize a large number of troops.
Because of this incident, the originally happy trip was shrouded in a shadow. Wang Shiyu was in a low mood all the way back to Xiaoyu's home cooking. It took An Jing, Han Yuyan and Lin Wei a lot of effort to comfort her before she calmed down.
"Brother, is the little monkey okay?" When Ye Chui sent Lin Wei away and returned to the hotel, Wang Shiyu pulled Ye Chui and asked pitifully. It looked like his eyes were about to pop out again.
Ye Chui quickly squatted down and rubbed her head, smiling and assuring: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the little monkey back."
"Yes, Xiaoyu believes in brother." Wang Shiyu nodded vigorously.
"You've played all day today, you must be tired. Go back and wash your face first. I'll make you something to eat." Ye Chui continued, and winked at An Jing, asking her to take Wang Shiyu back to the room first.
Ye Chui came to the kitchen, thinking about what to do: the police were out of his reach. But Ye Chui thought of another candidate - Jin Bing was the most suitable person for this matter. The gloomy man who secretly took the monkey away should not be a decent person, and Jin Bing, who came from a gangster background, should be able to find out something...
"I'll go find the gold cake later!"
Thinking of this, he walked into the kitchen. Han Yuyan was busy in the kitchen. This sister was also very hungry and wanted to find something to eat. When Ye Chui walked into the kitchen, this sister just opened the door of the cabinet, and then she screamed "Ah!!!" and turned around and jumped on Ye Chui.
Ye Chui: "...What's wrong?"
"Rat... There is a rat in the cabinet!" Han Yuyan said with a trembling voice.
"Rat?" Ye Chui couldn't help but frown. There was a rat in the house. This was the most intolerable thing for a chef. However, Ye Chui usually paid great attention to household hygiene. How could there be a rat... It should have sneaked in when he was in Hainan, right
"Having rats in the restaurant is very detrimental to its business. The restaurant will suspend business tomorrow. We must kill the rats first and clean all the kitchen utensils carefully... Speaking of which, Da Yu, I didn't expect you to be so afraid of rats?" Ye Chui said with some sweat.
"No..." Han Yuyan said with a pale face, "I'm not scared, I just feel a little disgusted..."
"Since you are not afraid, can you get off me first?" Ye Chui continued sweating.
This sister just jumped onto Ye Chui's body, her two long legs firmly clamped around Ye Chui's waist, and she hugged Ye Chui so hard that her feet didn't touch the ground. It was obvious that she was completely frightened...
Han Yuyan: “…”
Because a mouse appeared in the kitchen, Ye Chui was very strict about this aspect and simply stopped cooking in the kitchen. Instead, he went to the Ken De Chicken fast food restaurant near the restaurant and ordered some fast food. He told the clerk Wei He (the golden-haired gangster at the beginning of the previous volume, the cannon setting is very rigorous~~) that he wanted to talk to Jin Bing about something. It happened that Jin Bing was not far from the Ken De Chicken fast food restaurant, and knowing that Ye Chui was looking for him, he promised to come over immediately.
When Ye Chui finished his simple dinner, Jin Bing had also arrived. Ye Chui met him at the Kendeji fast food restaurant.
"Ye Chui, what do you want to do with me?" As soon as they met, the gangster boss greeted him with a strong accent. Although he was very familiar with him, Ye Chui still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard his accent. He sweated for a while before continuing, "I have something and I hope you can help me."
"Tell me what's the matter." Jin Bing looked like he was very easy to talk to.
"Today I am taking Xiaoyu and the others to visit Taofeng Mountain..." Ye Chui then told Jin Bing about the little monkey, and finally said, "That little monkey is exactly the one Xiaoyu saw before. She is very concerned about this little monkey. As her brother, I want to help her find it back no matter what. Can you help me find out if anyone has been secretly selling monkeys recently?"
"So that's what happened?" Jin Bing showed a thoughtful look. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "That's not a problem. After all, I still have my connections. I'll help you find a way to ask about this matter. Although I have never encountered secretly capturing monkeys before, Taofeng Mountain is near Xizhou City. If the man wants to do something with the monkey, Xizhou City should send you a message. I will send you a letter in the next two days."
"In that case, I'll trouble you, Boss Jin." Ye Chui hurriedly thanked him.
"They are all small things. We are partners." Jin Bing said with a smile.
When they returned to Xiaoyu Home Cooking, Wang Shiyu had already fallen asleep. Han Yuyan was chatting with An Jing on the sofa in the living room. I don't know if they were thinking about the little monkey. They both looked a little silent. Ye Chui sat down between them and said comfortingly, "I've asked Jin Bing to help find it. He knows a lot of people and has a lot of sources of information. I believe he can find out about the little monkey. Don't worry."
"Brother, why does he want to catch the little monkeys? Is it to sell them for money?" An Jing asked Ye Chui with some confusion.
Han Yuyan thought of something and said, "When I was in Yanjing before, I saw someone keeping a monkey as a pet. Such pets are very expensive. That person must have caught the little monkey in order to sell it as a pet!"
It would be nice if that were the case...
Ye Chui thought secretly in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, "Maybe it is true."
Such a cruel thing...it's not good to let Han Yuyan and An Jing know about it.
Because of the incident with the little monkey, Han Yuyan, Lin Wei, An Jing and Wang Shiyu were in low spirits for the next two days. An Jing also told Ye Chui that Wang Shiyu couldn't help crying when she went to bed at night. After all, she was a child and probably regarded the little monkey as a friend. Now that her friend was gone, she naturally felt indescribably sad.
Tian Xiaodu was most concerned about Wang Shiyu. Seeing Wang Shiyu looking depressed, the fat man became furious and wanted to teach the person who caught the monkey a lesson.
Two days passed like this, and Ye Cui finally got news from Jin Bing.
However, the one who told Ye Chui the news was not Jin Bing, but Xing Sen, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Xing Sen left Xizhou City with Huo Li after the cruise carnival, apparently to carry out some mission. No one knew when he returned to Xizhou City.
After he arrived at Xiaoyu's Home Cooking Restaurant, he told Ye Chui directly: "I have heard from Jin Bing about what happened to you on Taofeng Mountain. Jin Bing has also found the whereabouts of the little monkey."
"Where is the monkey now?" Ye Chui asked hurriedly.
Xing Sen looked around with some worry—An Jing and Wang Shiyu were at school, the kitchen was being cleaned up because of the rats, Tian Xiaodu and Han Yuyan were cleaning the kitchen, and there was no one else in the restaurant—Xing Sen then continued to say to Ye Chui, "I came to Xizhou City for this matter. Jin Bing found out that someone was planning to hold a dark banquet, and the monkey was the main ingredient of the banquet!" (~^~)
PS: Dark cuisine is here, I hope it won’t make you feel sick. In fact, monkey brains are not that rare, and there are related descriptions in many film and television works. The protagonist will also make a monkey brain feast later... Of course, it will be made without killing or harming the monkeys, so you can wait and see. In addition, there is a foreshadowing of another dark cuisine in this chapter, which will be revealed in the next chapter. That is the first dark cuisine made by the protagonist~~~~Finally, I would like to ask for your monthly vote...
