Han Li was lying on the steering wheel bored, and he had sent more than 20 text messages to Zhou Chengyuan today, but he didn't reply to any of them.

Xu Hongchao said that this situation is too normal, Zhou Chengyuan is so busy every time he goes on a business trip, and sometimes he can't even take care of eating, let alone looking at his mobile phone to reply to text messages.

"You go back to the office first, and change Xiao Zhou to come over. Da Liu gently patted Han Li's head with his hat.

Han Li raised his eyes and realized that he had gotten into the car at some point.

"What's wrong?"

"The case team has arrested a few people over there, you go over and take a look and learn. Didn't you study criminal investigation, it's good for you. Da Liu said.

Han Li's eyes lit up suddenly, "Wow, thank you, Master, I'll go back now." ”

didn't bother to ask why these people were arrested, so Han Li rushed to the station in a hurry.

Back at the police station, with the consent of the director, Han Li went to the small room where the case handling team was cleaning up the stolen goods. Pushing open the door, Han Li was stunned.

The ground is full of all kinds of wild animals, including wild (harmonious) chickens, wild birds, wild deer, etc., as well as more cherished muntjacs, crested ibises, and Chinese mergansers.

"This ......" I didn't expect this scene in front of me, Han Li was speechless for a while.

The impact of the picture was too great, and she frowned, a little sick to her stomach.

"Who is this?" several policemen who didn't know each other at all looked at Han Li.

The colleague hurriedly dragged her to his side and explained, "This is Xiao Han, our intern, don't worry about her, let's continue." ”

"Who?" asked Han Li in a whisper in her colleague's ear.

"Assist our forest police. The colleague lowered his voice and replied.

Han Li didn't dare to speak anymore, and stood while listening to them, glancing at the animal carcasses on the ground.

Some of the corpses were unrecognizable and unrecognizable, some were bloody, as if they had been skinned alive, and some were still bright, as if they had fallen asleep under anesthetic, as if they could spread their wings and take off again at any moment.

How many were captured and what were they used for?

Eat?

Han Li frowned, and the feeling of disgust turned into disgust.

"Three days ago, we were in the Anling Mountains of Anseong, we hunted down a poaching gang, a large number of people, a wide range of poaching, they hunted and captured a lot of wild animals and birds, but mainly birds, including crested ibis, mergansers, black storks, white storks, golden eagles, etc. A forest police officer who appeared to be a leader said.

"At that time, a large amount of stolen goods were seized at the scene of the arrest, including frozen corpses, but also a lot of live animals. At the time, I thought that maybe there were fish that slipped through the net, but I didn't expect you to find them so quickly. According to the criminals who have been caught, these animals are mainly used for the sale of wild meat, pets or furs. ”

"It's also a coincidence," colleague Xiaohu smiled, "Some time ago, we didn't catch a driver who illegally transported wild animals, oh, it was this Comrade Xiao Han and her master who caught it, he provided the address of the consignee, recently our case team has been watching more strictly, just learned about your mountain security rectification action, our police station in the city has strengthened the investigation of vehicles on the surrounding highways in conjunction with the traffic (harmony) police, and it will be ...... today It's right in the middle. This time, we seized a total of 8 suspects in four boxes and three cars, and some dying live birds were locked up on the other side. We don't know what to do with it, and it looks like we're dying. ”

The forest princes (harmony) looked serious. The leader frowned, "Let's ask the experts from the Institute for the Protection of Endangered Animals to come over first, determine the species of birds, and then treat them, and we will contact them immediately." ”

"Good. Xiaohu nodded.

The leader (harmony) arranged for someone to go out and make a phone call, and it didn't take long for him to come back.

"What do you say over there?" asked the leader (Harmony).

"The research institute said that Professor Zhou has taken the team to H City in the past few days, and they will now send his assistant Xiao Lu over, who should already be on the way, let us send someone to pick it up. ”

"Xiao Han, you go to the door and wait for the experts of the research institute. As soon as the words fell, Xiaohu immediately said.

Han Li nodded, "Understood!"

She trotted all the way to the door of the police station, waiting for the "Xiao Lu" from the research institute just now.

H City ......

While waiting, Han Li was idle and bored, and the picture in the small room kept flashing in her mind.

Zhou Chengyuan also went to H City these days.

H City, known as the small Jiangnan River, does not seem to produce coal, it is a tourist city, there seem to be two well-known domestic protection areas, and the annual tourists in the scenic spots open to the outside world are enough to feed the people of the city.

Could it be that Zhou Chengyuan has no other side business in addition to the coal business?

It doesn't seem impossible.

Han Li was thinking about it when he saw a taxi parked in front of the police station. From the back seat came two young men in their twenties and thirties.

The leader is not too tall, about 1.7 meters long, slightly fat, honest and thick.

"Who are the two of you?" Han Li stepped forward and raised his hand to stop him.

The slightly chubby man saw Han Li, smiled gently, and handed over the business card, "Hello officer, we are researchers at the Anseong Institute for the Protection of Endangered Animals, and the team for the protection and endangered birds. ”

Han Li took the business card and glanced at it.

Lu Guinian, assistant to the team leader.

Han Li glanced at the two people in front of him lightly and nodded, "You guys come in with me." ”

After making a simple report, Han Li took the two of them to the small room where the live birds were kept to do inspection and statistics.

The birds that are locked up are not in a very good state, and when they see someone coming, they react very much, flapping their wings and hitting the bird cage (harmony), and their feathers fly everywhere.

Han Li saw that some of the birds in the cage were still young birds, with fluffy wings, not full (harmonious), and felt that they couldn't even fly.

"Ahh

Han Li's heart was pinched.

"Are they scared?" asked Han Li.

Lu Guinian squatted half-squatting, checking one cage after another, "Yes, the discomfort of long-distance transportation coupled with the fear of humans, these birds are in very bad condition." Many of them here are national ones or even endangered, and it is not easy to survive until now, so they can only bring them back first. ”

He mimicked the soothing sounds of birds in his mouth, and after quickly counting the species, he immediately asked the researcher behind him to cover the cage with a black cloth.

It is necessary to take it back to the research institute for treatment as soon as possible, and then notify the forest public (harmonious) security department to deal with it.

"How long will it take?" asked the deputy commissioner.

"It's hard to say," Lu Guinian looked embarrassed, "Some birds are in very serious condition, and no one in the institute can treat them thoroughly, so we can only wait for Professor Zhou to come back and let him take a look." ”

"How many days will it take for you Professor Zhou to come back?"

"Tonight, I will be back tomorrow morning at the latest, I have already told him about the situation, he will definitely come back as soon as possible, don't worry. Lu Guinian said.

"That's it. The deputy director nodded, "Then Xiao Lu, you should go back quickly, and we will communicate at any time if there are any problems." That, Xiao Han, can you take a trip and send these two comrades from the research institute back? They are like this, it is not easy to take a taxi. ”

"No problem!" Han Li said, "One car is not enough, I'll find someone to help you send it to you." ”

Lu Guinian was busy thanking him, "Great, great, it's troublesome for a few police officers." ”

"Well said. Han Li waved his hand, greeted his more idle colleagues, and drove two police cars to send Lu Guinian and a few cages of rare birds back to the research institute.

"So you're on this road. Han Li positioned the direction, glanced at the navigation and said.

"What, Officer Xiao Han has been there?" Lu Guinian asked.

Han Li smiled, "My newly rented house is near here, and it is not a stop away from what you are in. ”

Lu Guinian laughed, "Such a coincidence? Are you renting the Huajing Community next to the research institute?"

"No," Han Li said, "the apartment complex opposite Huajing, the one with very strict security." ”

"That's even more coincidental!" Lu Guinian raised his voice.

Han Li glanced at him through the rearview mirror, "What?"

"Our institute has not been expanded a few years ago, and the professor-level bigwigs in the institute at that time basically lived in this apartment, close to the unit, and now there are one or two professors living in it. Maybe you're still neighbors with Officer Xiao Han!"

"Yo," Han Lile said, "That's a coincidence, I'll go back and inquire tonight, maybe it's really my neighbor." ”

"Officer Xiao Han, turn right, let's enter through the side door, it's closer. ”

"Okay. Han Li tapped the steering wheel, and the car drove steadily into the Institute for the Protection of Endangered Animals.

and their colleagues helped Lu Guinian carry a few cages into the designated room, and casually exchanged a few words with the leaders of the institute, and Han Li and they were ready to leave.

"Hey, Xiaoli, wait a minute. As soon as she walked to the first floor, her colleague stopped her, "It's dinner soon, I feel like I'm going to work overtime today, I'll call them first to see if I want to bring food, let's buy it by the way and take it back." ”

"Okay. Han Li agreed, standing in front of the bulletin board and waiting for him to call first.

This bulletin board is the façade of the institute, and there are some well-known experts and scholars hanging on it, some of them are in the direction of animal medicine, and some are in the direction of animal breeding, but most of them are specialized in the field of art, and they are divided into specialties according to the types of endangered animals.

"It's all uncles and aunts...... Han Li couldn't understand those professional terms, so he focused on the appearance of the experts, and said to himself, "There are few handsome ......"

"Let's go, let's go bring them food first!" The colleague came back from the phone call and patted Han Li lightly on the shoulder.

Han Li withdrew his gaze and left the institute with his colleague in a huff.

At the top of the pyramid on the bulletin board, hanging high the ID photo on Zhou Chengyuan's ID card and his golden resume of killing the entire research institute in seconds, but unfortunately Han Li was too short to see it.
