Every day is one step closer to reality

Xiao A drives and Xiao Ding assists.

Wei Hongxi sent Feng Yi the location and asked him to drive there directly, and someone would be there to meet him so that Feng Yi would not waste time.

There are now a lot of people in the resort, and two paths have been closed. The entire lake where the accident happened has been closed off to prevent unrelated people from getting close to it.

In the resort, those who didn't sleep or were woken up in the middle of the night and were quite curious and courageous, either watched other people's live broadcasts on their mobile phones, or ran nearby to watch.

Outside the blockade, many tourists were standing. They are curious and fearful of pythons.

"It's a big python!"

"I heard it's as thick as a pig!"

"Exaggerated, not that thick, but definitely a big one!"

"It's so scary! My parents were not happy to come out when they saw a police car. Just now when I went downstairs, I saw someone running to check out."

"It's not necessary to check out. The lake is not close to our side, but we can just go over there. In fact, it may not be as rumored. Maybe it's just a small snake, a big python or something. It's a rumor. People nowadays, If you listen to the wind, it will be rain, and if you brew it for a while, it will be even more exaggerated!"

Several foreign tourists were discussing, and a local next to him said: "Not necessarily, maybe there is a big snake. Did you see the car in front? It's a car from the Joint Security Bureau! Although there is no obvious sign on the car, the license plate number You can tell that it belongs to the Joint Security Bureau. Look at the car driving over there, it belongs to the Forestry Bureau. In the middle of the night, people from the Forestry Bureau and the Joint Protection Bureau came over, how can this be a trivial matter?!"

Others didn’t know much about this aspect, “That car coming behind the Forestry Bureau car, which bureau does it belong to?”

"There are no obvious marks on the car body. Judging from the license plate number..."

"What did you see?"

"He is a rich man."

"Uh...I can see that too."

"It is very likely that they are family members of those involved."

"Oh~ That's it!"

There are many local tycoons, but looking at the personnel of these "bureaus" present, this kind of occasion is not something you can just mix in if you have money. Therefore, the onlookers also tended to follow the Forestry Bureau car, which was either coming to help or was a family member of the person involved.

——

When Feng Yi arrived at the resort in the western suburbs, people from the Forestry Bureau had just arrived, front and back. Feng Yi directly asked Xiao Jia to follow the Forestry Bureau car and drive in.

After checking the documents, Wei Hongxi had already said hello, and the vehicle entered the blocked area directly and drove to the location of the accident.

The person in charge of the resort was guarding here. After hearing Wei Hongxi say that the emergency contact expert was coming, he jogged over to greet him.

The first person to see it was the people from the Forestry Bureau.

The forestry bureau personnel who got off the car looked serious, "We already know the general situation. Are there any injuries?"

The person in charge of the resort hurriedly replied: "No injuries! Those young people were just a little frightened. They have been looked at by someone and some minor scratches have been treated with medicine."

"Who asked them! Python! Is the snake injured?"

"……should not."

The person in charge of the resort wiped the sweat from his forehead, but the people from the Forestry Bureau did not talk nonsense here. They asked for the detailed location and went there in person.

In fact, the Forestry Bureau staff also knew that the four young people were safe and sound, so they asked the snake first after arriving here. They were worried that people at the resort would "solve" the snake in private, and they might not even be able to see the snake's skin by then. They rushed over as soon as they received the news, and asked about the snake's condition when they arrived.

The person in charge of the resort turned his attention back and asked Wei Hongxi: "Where are the experts?"

I saw Wei Hongxi heading towards the car behind the Forestry Bureau car.

Feng Yi got out of the car, and behind him, Xiao Ding followed closely with a black toolbox.

Seeing Wei Hongxi, Feng Yi quickly glanced around and asked, "Are you the only one from the Joint Security Bureau?"

"The others will arrive later."

Wei Hongxi didn't say much. Recently, some manpower has been allocated to follow major cases. Today, this matter needs to be investigated first, and he and another investigator will follow up for the time being.

"I have already sent you the general information, have you read it?" Wei Hongxi asked.

"It's over." Feng Yi identified the odor molecules in the air. They were too complex and had too many interfering elements. "Go to the location of the incident first."

Wei Hongxi glanced at him, turned around and took Feng Yi to the wooden plank road, adding some useless information to Feng Yi on the way. The ecological monitoring department has limited cameras, and so far they have not recorded any abnormal information, but this does not mean that the boa constrictor does not exist. Therefore, we still have to determine whether there is really such a snake.

"This is the situation, but at this time, the light is not good, making the search difficult."

Although a wetland recreation area is under construction at the site of the incident, more areas of the lake are undeveloped and the infrastructure is not that complete.

Wei Hongxi looked at the time. He preferred to deploy before dawn and take action after dawn. It is easy to make mistakes now and it is inconvenient to move. Moreover, if there is really a big python here, it will be more dangerous for the staff who are close.

For such a large snake, even if it is raised with a relatively docile temperament, it is impossible not to fight back. It's night again now, and people's eyesight is limited. If you accidentally step on it or get bitten by it, it will be over. If someone behaves inappropriately and angers it, and it launches an active attack, that would be even more troublesome.

The person in charge of the resort, who had been following quietly, said at this time, "We hope to solve it before dawn. This... wind expert? Can you do it?"

Feng Yi glanced at him and said, "Just prepare the reward."

Wei Hongxi opened his mouth to say something, but when he saw that Feng Yi didn't show any reluctance, he held it back.

Although Feng Yi was young and had not been certified for a long time, when the resort wanted him to help recommend experts, when Wei Hongxi heard "efficient", Feng Yi was the first person who came to mind when he turned over the list in his mind. The identification of snake gallbladders was really shocking to him at first, and he still hasn't figured out how Feng Yi identified them.

In addition to Feng Yi, he also recommended several others, but the resort chose the most efficient Feng Yi.

After Feng Yi understood the general situation, he really dared to take it!

Of course it's good that Feng Yi can handle it this time, and everyone is happy. But if they can't handle it but rush into things, then Feng Yi's comprehensive ability must be re-evaluated. In addition to professional skills, character is also very important.

While talking, the four of them came to the wooden plank road where Mo Xiaoguang and the others found the snake.

People were posted to guard the area, but those people were kept some distance away from the lake for safety reasons. The four of them were the closest to the lake at this moment, and Wei Hongxi was on high alert.

The forestry personnel who were around to learn about the situation heard the movement and came over, looking at Feng Yi several times. He knew that this was an expert recommended by the FBI investigator and paid heavily by several resort owners. Although it was different from what he thought, he did not speak out rashly, but stood quietly and observed.

On the boardwalk, the fishing nets pulled up by the security personnel were still there.

"Gloves." Feng Yi said.

Xiao Ding took out a pair of gloves from the tool box and handed them to Feng Yi.

Putting on his gloves, Feng Yi squatted down, picked up the fishing net and got closer to smell it.

"It's a python."

Wei Hongxi frowned and said in a deep voice: "That means Mo Xiaoguang and the others were right. There is indeed a big python here!"

The forestry staff standing next to him was about to say something when Feng Yi continued:

"Burmese python, adult, female, large. Most likely raised by humans."

Although Feng Yi was sure that this python was raised and thrown here by humans, he couldn't be so sure.

But Wei Hongxi heard it and his expression softened slightly. He did not doubt Feng Yi's identification results. When he was appraising snake gallbladders at the Yangcheng branch, Feng Yi was able to identify a family's appraisal skills just by smelling them, which was quite convincing.

"They were raised."

Breeding pythons are not as aggressive as wild pythons. However, you still have to pay attention to the large size. In nature, most python females are thicker, while the males are "thinner".

The source will be investigated later, but the most important thing now is to find the python first.

However, the person in charge of the resort tensed up after hearing what Feng Yi said. He took out his mobile phone and quickly sent messages to several bosses to inform the experts of the preliminary identification results.

Seeing the replies from the bosses, the person in charge hurriedly asked Feng Yi: "So, expert Feng, how long will it take you to catch it?"

At that time, we had negotiated the big-money invitation, and it was "catching + appraising". For the resort, catching is the top priority. Solve the immediate problem first, then investigate others.

Feng Yi straightened up, took off his gloves and handed them to Xiao Ding, then smelled the scent information in the air, "It's not nearby."

"Maybe he was frightened away by the movement here." Wei Hongxi said.

After the incident happened, the resort sent people over to investigate.

But in front of us, the lake is very large, making it more difficult to find.

There was no trace, the field of vision was unclear, and the search area and difficulty were very large. All factors combined, Wei Hongxi did not think Feng Yi could catch the python before dawn.

The person in charge of the resort was anxious and was about to put pressure on him.

Feng Yi took off his coat, "Then follow him directly."

Wei Hongxi:? ? ?

He thought Feng Yi was talking about searching along the shore of the lake, or getting a boat to search on the lake, but seeing Feng Yi's attitude, was he planning to jump into the lake?

Wei Hongxi was shocked: "Are you kidding?!"

"No kidding."

"It's still dark now!"

"no problem."

It’s going to be dark!

It’s dark and no one can see clearly!

Feng Yi would not be caught if he behaved differently from ordinary people underwater. On the contrary, it was more risky to act during the day.

As for Feng Yi himself, darkness did not affect his ability to distinguish things at all. The night is just cover!

What great timing!

Feng Yi's thoughts are unknown to others.

The forestry personnel standing aside looked at Feng Yi as if they were looking at an idiot who only had courage and no brains.

He also disagreed with Feng Yi's approach, "Don't be impulsive, it's too dangerous!"

Wei Hongxi also continued to persuade, "We can first check all the shores of the lake. It may not be hidden in the water."

"No need." Feng Yi said.

In undeveloped areas, the shore environment is too complex, making searches difficult and time-consuming. Feng Yi also planned to go back to sleep after catching the python.

But he also knew that Wei Hongxi meant well, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm very good at catching snakes!"

He also took this opportunity to advertise and show his strength. He also has a goal of a medical laboratory!

High rewards mean high risks. Seeing that Feng Yi insisted on this, Wei Hongxi could not restrict Feng Yi's actions, but he still wanted to inform Feng Yi of the risks and let Feng Yi consider it carefully and not make a hasty decision because of the high reward.

"The resort sent so many people, but I didn't let them get too close to the water. The wetland ecological zone has too many restrictions on people. Plus it's night and I can't see clearly what's under the water.

"We don't know what its temper is like and whether its habits are as we know. After all, individuals are not exactly the same. And as Mo Xiaoguang and others said, it is very big. There is no doubt about Mo Xiaoguang and others. When a person attacks, it may be because he is not hungry yet and his mood is still stable.”

Generally speaking, adults are outside the hunting range of Burmese pythons, but whether to attack or not is another matter.

"If you anger it and it suddenly attacks, bites you and blocks the blood circulation in your body, you may be dead in only ten to twenty seconds. If you are even more unfortunate and are locked by the neck, that time Shorter!

"If you are entangled on land, we still have ten seconds to save you, but the damage to your organs and bones is unpredictable!

"I also applied for firearms before coming here, and there are police here, but if something happens, rescue may not be possible in time. This is only on land, if it's in the water..."

Wei Hongxi paused and said in a low voice: "I can't say it's completely over. To be more rigorous, I can only say that the survival rate is infinitely close to zero!"

Feng Yi listened carefully and replied: "I understand."

Wei Hongxi: "..."

You know shit!

"Have you brought a knife?" Wei Hongxi asked.

Feng Yi was stunned, "I didn't bring it."

Wei Hongxi looked ugly and threw a dagger to Feng Yi, "Take this with you!"

Feng Yi took it and said, "Thank you."

Wei Hongxi added: "You'd better bring two."

"Boss, I have it here." Xiao Ding handed over the dagger he was carrying.

Seeing Feng Yi put the two daggers away, Wei Hongxi sighed, "You have to know that the speed at which you draw the knife may not be as fast as the speed at which it attacks!"

Feng Yi took off his shoes and smiled when he heard this: "I understand."

Wei Hongxi held a breath in his chest and didn't know how to spit it out.

Next, Feng Yi refused the diving suit provided by the resort, and also refused to wear waterproof sensors, communicators, cameras, etc. on his body.

How could he let go and catch the snake with those things? !

Poof——

Feng Yi jumped into the lake.

Just where Mo Xiaoguang and others found the big python, starting from the place of discovery, they followed the breath.

Thinking of something, Feng Yi said to Wei Hongxi and others: "I will continue to swim later, so don't worry if you don't see me coming out of the water."

Feng Yi carefully sensed the scent information left on the water surface, confirmed its general route of action, then dived into the water and followed it.

Wei Hongxi also asked someone to find a boat. They couldn't just stand here and wait.

Seeing Xiao Ding's calm expression, Wei Hongxi couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you worried?"

Xiao Ding: "...worry!"

Worried about the posture in which the python would be dragged ashore.

I hope the boss won’t be too harsh!

I will be more diligent!
