Chapter 110 There really is a bonus, a bonus of 35! ()

I felt very uncomfortable seeing my brothers looking so dejected.

Besides, the police don’t have much time left. If there is no clue in two days, they can only bring public prosecution to the People’s Court for the crime of stealing six pangolins.

But that would only benefit the two poachers, and would also cause those undiscovered protected animals to die in obscurity.

"Wait until I go to that house again."

"Stationmaster Su, we searched that area very carefully but found nothing. We almost turned the floor over."

"It's okay," Wang Zhibin said, "Let Stationmaster Su go and take a look."

Wang Zhibin, along with the police officers, followed Su Ran towards Zhang Biao's villa.

After entering the room, Su Ran immediately looked up and examined it.

The police officers were all a little confused and puzzled.

"Can we really find anything just by standing here and watching?"

"Well, maybe Station Master Su is thinking about where to start the search."

Su Ran had already checked the second and third floors and found no suspicious signs.

When he started searching on the first floor, he suddenly found a large number of clues appearing underground.

【Animal trap*40￥】

【Pliers*10￥】

【Animal cage*200￥】

……

Su Ran smiled knowingly: "Captain Wang, the brothers have searched upstairs and downstairs but found nothing. Is it possible that there is a basement here?"

Wang Zhibin didn't understand why Su Ran had this guess: "It's unlikely, but it may not be ruled out."

"My suggestion is to search carefully on the first floor," Su Ran couldn't say it too obviously, otherwise it would make people suspicious. "Anyway, I think they must have a place to commit the crime when they stole the pangolin scales."

"Since we can't find anything on the roof of the house, there must be a basement."

"Because they think that others won't think of this, they may not make the entrance to the basement very secretive."

At this time, a police officer who served as a police dog trainer in the station said: "But we brought police dogs with us during the first search. If there was a smell in the basement, the police dogs would not have missed it."

Su Ran smiled meaningfully: "Then we can only know the reason after we find the basement. These guys are more cunning than we thought."

"Okay, everyone, search carefully on the first floor to see if there is the basement that Stationmaster Su mentioned." Wang Zhibin gave the order.

Now Wang Zhibin thinks that Su Ran is indeed not "professional" enough.

They solve cases based on clues, traces, and analysis.

But Su Ran is more inclined to intuition.

However, Wang Zhibin hoped that Su Ran's intuition was correct.

He had even placed all his hopes on this final search.

I hope the result is really what you expected!
Wang Zhibin looked at Su Ran and said secretly.

At this time, a police officer actually found something under the wardrobe in the bedroom: "Captain, we found it!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhibin's face instantly lit up with joy.

There were also an unusually large number of barrages in the live broadcast room.

Everything seemed to be within Su Ran's expectations.

After entering the scene, I heard a hollow echo from under the floorboards under the moved wardrobe.

Wang Zhibin stood up and asked someone to pry open the floor.

After opening it with a crowbar, a staircase leading downwards actually appeared inside.

After Wang Zhibin walked down the stairs, he saw a soundproof door in front of him. There was a long groove on the walls on both sides of the space in the stairs.

In the groove was the dried excrement of some animal.

When Wang Zhibin was puzzled, Su Ran said, "This is tiger feces."
-
Tiger poop?!
Suddenly, Wang Zhibin finally figured out why the police dog failed to find this place at that time.

"These guys are really cunning." Wang Zhibin even looked at the two brothers with some admiration.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was very confused.

"Brother Su, is there any connection between tiger feces and police dogs?"

Su Ran returned the gun to Wang Zhibin, glanced at the comments and said, "Many animals convey information through smell. In the past, the dog's ancestor, the wolf, was afraid of the tiger, so this is a fear that is stored in the gene."

"Tiger feces is the smell that dogs fear the most and it may also cause their sense of smell to fail."

Another netizen echoed: "That's right. Dogs were often stolen in our village before, but they were always done without anyone noticing. When the police caught the dog thieves and asked them about it, they found out that they used tiger feces to stun the dogs in the village. The dogs wouldn't bark or resist."

In order to make the police dogs even more ineffective, the two brothers simply built a soundproof door to block the smell from the basement.

Wang Zhibin ordered someone to forcibly dismantle the door lock, and a group of people entered the basement.

The basement was very dark and smelled strongly of blood, but it was not damp. There was a water outlet here that should be connected to the underground septic tank.

When Su Ran turned on the light, he saw a large bag of pangolin scales piled in the corner of the basement.

The two brothers even considered putting a freezer in the basement so that the police would become suspicious through the electricity meter, and they even built an ice cellar directly in the basement.

When the police officers went down to the ice cellar, they found a large number of frozen bodies of protected animals piled up inside.

There are dozens of falcons alone.

Such a shocking scene made Wang Zhibin a little stunned.

Su Ran couldn't help but say, "Looking at these two brothers, they are not much worse than the previous poaching group."

The netizens in the live broadcast room finally realized that they had underestimated these two guys.

"Damn, I thought they were stupid thieves, but I didn't expect them to be so scary in the eyes of small animals." "Fortunately, they don't like Ga people."

"It's terrible. The two brothers are not physically strong, but they are smart and meticulous."

Soon, Wang Zhibin called the institute for other reinforcements.

The rest of the work was left to the police, and Su Ran also walked out of the villa and breathed in the fresh air.

"My brothers all admire you and say it's a pity that you don't become a police officer."

Wang Zhibin came over from behind, sat down on the ground and said with some regret: "The statistics are out. We have seized 30 frozen civets, 21 frozen falcons, 98 dried snakes, and 78 kilograms of animal offal."

"Pangolin scales... 50 kilograms."

Su Ran's hands in his pockets trembled a few times.

One kilogram of pangolin scales is extracted from approximately three to four live pangolins.

This means that 150 to 200 live pangolins were killed.

Su Ran took a deep breath helplessly: "Can he be sentenced to death?"

Wang Zhibin nodded: "These two brothers already have a lot of criminal records. They will definitely not escape the death penalty for committing such a serious poaching case."

Su Ran finally felt a little relieved.

He did feel sad for these little animals. It wasn’t that he was a saint, but when he saw so many protected animals frozen in the ice cellar, and thought of the bloody scene of more than a hundred pangolins being mercilessly skinned and scaled…

It made him feel horrified and regretful.

There is a world of difference between legal slaughterhouses and poaching of wild animals.

If I hadn't rescued the six pangolins at that time, they might have been eaten for their meat and scales by now.

Wang Zhibin said at this time: "So many goods have not been sold. It seems that they are not unwilling to sell them, but are waiting for an opportunity to smuggle them to overseas buyers."

Today, wildlife smuggling has become the third largest illegal trade after arms and drugs.

The law clearly states that if the circumstances are particularly serious, the offender may be sentenced to life imprisonment or death.

However, the huge economic profits generated by wildlife smuggling continue to lure poachers and smugglers to risk their lives.

After calming down, I realized that there are always more cruel and sympathetic things in this world.

Su Ran did not allow himself to continue to dwell in this negative emotion.

He was just fulfilling his responsibilities as a citizen and a forest ranger.

"If nothing else, could Chief Wang take me back? This place is quite far from my home." Su Ran had a slightly bitter smile on his face.

"Row."

On the way home in the police car, Wang Zhibin thanked Su Ran: "Thank you for your hard work this time, otherwise those two guys would have wasted ten years."

Su Ran shook his head. "Ah, I didn't expect this to become such a big deal. They caught more than a hundred pangolins in two years. These two brothers are really amazing."

Pangolins are hard to find in the wild, but these two people were able to find so many.

I'm afraid they have caught all the last few pangolins in the forest.

"When I get back, I will definitely emphasize your contribution to the higher-ups, and you will definitely get a bonus then."

Will there be a bonus?
Su Ran felt that it didn't matter.

If there is, there will be, if there is not, there will be no.

If it had been before the change, he would have jumped for joy when he heard there was a bonus.

But I'm in a bad mood now, so I don't feel like talking.

After returning home, Su Ran found Aunt Wang drinking tea at her grandfather's house.

He greeted her: "Aunt Wang is free to come to my house today."

When Su Ran came back, Mantou ran out from under the bed and jumped into his grandfather's arms.

Several baby ferrets also gathered around.

In the end, Aunt Wang and Grandpa were holding several cute little creatures in their arms.

The Saker Falcon standing on the roof flew from the door to Su Ran's shoulder and stood there.

The little guy has recovered well during this period.

Basically, it can be released back into the forest.

But it showed no intention of leaving, so Su Ran let it stay there.

In short, it’s just one more mouth to feed every day.

Aunt Wang stroked the furry ferret in her arms and smiled, "I heard from Sisi that she will return to her hometown after getting her diploma. I still support her. I am relieved that this girl is with you."

Su Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that Chen Sisi was afraid that her family would object, so she let them know first.

"By the way, I heard from the village chief that you and the town police went to solve a case. You confiscated a lot of pangolin scales."

"It's a pity that so many pangolins died."

An old man smoking a pipe came over. He knew very well how precious pangolins were, so there was some sigh in his words.

"I also heard what Lao Zhou said, but how did they catch so many pangolins? Could some of them be farmed?" Aunt Wang asked curiously.

Su Ran shook his head and said, "Pangolins are difficult to breed. There are basically no successful breeding cases in China, so they are all wild."

Aunt Wang nodded slightly and said, "These poachers are really bad."

Su Ran started to rest after he came back.

There hasn’t been anything too important to do in the forest protection work recently, so maybe to relax, I spent two days playing with Mantou and the others at home.

The next morning, Wang Zhibin came all the way from the institute to see him.
