Fairy Gourd Farm

Chapter 1022 The Fate of the Cow Stealer
Looking at the messy situation in front of him, the stunned Harden couldn't help but mutter to himself: "My God, what's going on?!"

Just in front of the huge red rock, there were many charred firewood scattered, many of which were still emitting green smoke, indicating that the fire had not been out for a long time.

In addition to these firewood, Harden was even more surprised that there were a dozen corpses scattered around.These corpses were all abnormally distorted, as if they had been crushed and trampled by heavy objects, and they looked very terrifying.

And the dozens of wagyu cattle in the pasture wandered and grazed on the pasture not far away, which seemed nothing strange.

However, Harden clearly remembered that before leaving get off work yesterday, he and Old John put all the cows in the cowshed, or he locked the latches with his own hands, so how did these wagyu cows escape?
Harden was puzzled by this, so he quickly dialed 911 and said to the operator in a trembling voice, "I'm at the gate of Redstone Ranch, something serious happened here..."

Ten minutes later, several police cars arrived at the gate of Hongshi Ranch, and even the well-informed policemen were all taken aback.

A dozen people actually died at the gate of the ranch. If it was a murder case, it would be a major case that shocked the whole country.It didn't take long for the state police to arrive, and even the FBI sent someone to understand the case.

Harden recognized one of the dead on the spot, which was James, a resident of the town. As for the other dead, none of them were locals.Everyone only knows that they have a very good relationship with James, and they are often seen together, and they are mysterious and do not know what they are doing.

So many people died all at once, the police did not dare to neglect, and immediately started investigation.From interviewing witnesses to exploring the scene, a lot of police force has been invested.

As the owner of Hongshan Ranch, Zhao Lei, who has just returned to Columbus Town, is of course also on the visit list.However, Zhao Lei firmly insisted that he returned to the motel in the middle of the night last night and did not go to the ranch at all, so naturally he did not know what happened there.

Jessica also got Zhao Lei's instructions, just like him, she couldn't provide any useful clues.

However, both of their statements were reasonable, so the police did not have any doubts, and naturally they would not regard them as suspects.

At the same time, the site survey results and the autopsy report came out. Except for James' fatal injury, the cause of death of the other dead is very clear, all of which were caused by external impact and trample.Judging from the injuries, it is very likely that he was trampled to death by Wagyu.

Combined with the confessions of Harden and other cowboys, the police made a very reasonable inference about this case.

In view of the fact that James and others did not work, it should be that they knew that the Red Stone Ranch had introduced a batch of expensive Wagyu, and there was no one in the ranch at night, so they planned to steal this batch of Wagyu.

However, when they secretly opened the cattle pen and planned to take the Wagyu away from the pasture, some cattle were frightened by the fire and went mad, leading the cattle to attack the gang of thieves, which is why the subsequent tragedy happened.

Everyone, including James, was trampled to death by the mad cows, and then Harden, who was the first to come to work, was scared to death.

As for the mysterious injury on James' body, investigators believe that it was first stepped on by a herd of cattle, and then burning firewood fell on him, so this happened.

In a word, James took these strangers from other places to steal the wagyu from Redstone Ranch, but the cow was not stolen but lost his life, so these guys deserve it completely, and no one should be responsible for this accident.

The local residents of Columbus Town accepted the findings of the police investigation.

The local people are simple and honest, and they can't understand people like James who don't have a proper job and always like to play tricks.What's more, James also recruited a lot of outsiders who also had no jobs, and wandered around the town every day with nothing to do, which was completely a potential source of instability, which naturally made everyone feel even more dissatisfied.There is nothing strange about these people stealing people's homes and cattle.

Contrary to the outsiders that James recruited, Zhao Lei was favored by almost all the local residents.After all, he not only hired many local people, provided them with jobs, but also often invited everyone to drink in the bar. Everyone likes such a good neighbor.

Comparing the two, of course everyone sympathized with Zhao Lei very much, thinking that those cattle thieves deserved it.Many people also said that even if these people were not trampled to death by the cattle, the ranchers still have the right to kill them on the spot.

Of course, these are things for later.The day after the bodies of James and others were taken away and the front of the Redstone Ranch was cleaned up again, Mark returned with the newly bought livestock.

Many extended trucks specially transporting livestock came to the gate of the ranch one after another. Under the command of Mark, the cowboys worked together to drive the newly transported cattle and sheep into the pasture and place them in the sheep pen and the cattle pen respectively.

The cattle and sheep brought in after a long journey all seemed a little sluggish.However, Zhao Lei had already prepared for this, and asked the cowboys to prepare fresh grass to feed the cattle and sheep in advance.

The green grass from the gourd space is really extraordinary. After the cattle and sheep ate some grass, they immediately regained their vitality, which surprised all the cowboys.

Apart from this matter, the rest of Zhao Lei couldn't help much. He could only watch everyone busy with Jessica.

After Zhao Lei's careful comfort these two days, Jessica's mood has improved a lot. Looking at the busy cowboy, she said to Zhao Lei: "Congratulations, the Redstone Ranch is finally on the right track."

Zhao Lei smiled and said: "Don't forget that you are always welcome here. I have already told Mark that after all the cattle and sheep are settled, I will find someone to build a small two-story house. If you can see the pasture The most beautiful scenery, we can come here for vacation together in the future.”

Jessica kissed Zhao Lei on the cheek and said, "Thank you, dear."

Zhao Lei said with a smile: "As long as you are happy, a house is nothing at all."

Jessica smiled happily, but soon remembered something again, and said to Zhao Lei with a straight face: "If you really want to build a house, don't get too close to that huge red rock!"

Zhao Lei asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because that rock is really weird." Jessica frowned and said, "I've tried it several times, as long as I press my hand on a specific place on the rock, there will be a strange feeling, as if there is really something inside. It looks like something is about to rush out!"

Speaking of which, Jessica glanced around, and when she saw no one nearby, she whispered to Zhao Lei: "James kidnapped me here the other day, and said that he would offer me as a sacrifice to their gods in exchange for the treasure hidden in the huge red rock. Relic!"
