Chapter 109
When Zhang Xiaokai arrived at the scene, he saw that the entrance of the cave had been surrounded by ranch employees, and there were cowboys holding guys in their hands, as if they were ready to do it at any time.
After a while, someone found out where the tunnel leads, and when he returned, he said: "The cattle from our ranch may have been stolen, and there is a railcar used in the mining yard that leads to the outside of the fence, but I don't know how much was stolen, and I saw cow dung and blood, maybe they were slaughtered and then transported out." ”
"Really?!"
"What the hell, digging a passage to steal cattle?
"What is this when we ranch, bank vault?"
The Cleveland Ranch employees present discussed one after another, Zhang Xiaokai had a headache, raised his hand and shouted: "It's all quiet! The beef in our ranch is valuable, and there is not much defense, and the cattle and sheep are all grazing on the grass at night, if someone steals cattle like this, it is possible! Little Patrick, take someone to count the number of cattle and sheep, and also see if other things are lost." ”
The little boss spoke, and little Patrick nodded immediately: "I'll go now, it may take some time, but the total number is recorded, if there are no cattle and sheep, it will definitely be found out." ”
"Well, call the police, how long is the passage down here, and where does it lead?"
"It's longer, almost two hundred meters, I'll go down again, and you'll see where I come from later!"
“……”
A cow costs tens of thousands of dollars, but to say that digging such a long tunnel is just to steal cattle, Zhang Xiaokai still finds it unbelievable.
Tossed around.
was first questioned by the detectives, and then helped to count the cattle and sheep, which took more than four hours in total.
When the results were obtained, the people were shocked that more than 200 cows were missing!
Most of them are kept free on the Cleveland ranch, surrounded by barbed wire, and no one thinks they will get lost, so they are relaxed.
There are more than 200 cattle missing, and no one notices it, if it is not for the discovery of the tunnel by accident, it is estimated that the beef cattle will disappear one after another, and they will be slaughtered and sold.
The bulls are castrated, and the breeding cattle are on the breeding base, and the only reason to steal cattle here is to sell beef.
The beef at Cleveland Ranch has long been famous through its partner Wal-Mart, and it is not enough to sell every year, so the price naturally remains high.
The more than 200 half-sized calves are estimated to be worth $300,000 or 400,000 if they are slaughtered and sold to buyers who know the goods.
Zhang Xiaokai is lucky, if you save a little bit in this life, you don't have to worry about having no money to spend, but in the final analysis, there are more ordinary people who are worried about money, and such a large sum of money is indeed worth making some people take risks.
————————
Daddy Zhang also learned about it.
When I was wondering, I actually learned from the police that I had found a clue.
The efficiency is extremely high, so high that the father and son of the Zhang family can't believe it, and after careful questioning, they learned that a police detective recognized the female dog who had just given birth, and there were only two Saint Bernard dogs in the entire Brookings town, both belonging to the same husband and wife.
They came to the house and asked, but they couldn't find the couple, and the neighbor said they had left home a few hours ago.
Calculating the time, it happened that not long after the passage was discovered, it was estimated that he would run away as soon as he was discovered, and the Cleveland Ranch was checking the losses and delayed for several hours.
Overnight, people were asked to check around to see if there were other tunnels.
Even if there is, it is very hidden, and it is not found that day, and the next day it continues to be searched, but it is still not found, so I simply give up for the time being, and ask the cowboys of the ranch to help keep an eye on it, so as not to steal the cattle and sheep again.
The marine ranch is also often stolen fish, and it clearly has the lease right of the sea area, and sets up floating tips on the sea, but from time to time people still break in, catch a few nets and leave.
If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid that thieves will be worried, and this is done repeatedly, resulting in a great reduction in catches, and even the Dungeness crabs in the bait cage have been stolen overnight.
on this.
There is no good solution other than increased patrols, and even the barbed wire fence around the ranch has been broken underground, and there is no way to put up a fence in the ocean.
The loss of money is only one aspect, and the feeling of being stolen makes Zhang Xiaokai feel even more unhappy, but the Saint Bernard dog who gave birth has a very good temper and is also very smart.
handed it over to little Patrick to take care of, Zhang Xiaokai only brought home a little paparazzi who could already eat, which was regarded as making up for the loss from the thieves after the cow was stolen and giving it to Adlina as a gift.
……
Great White Bear Mocha.
This guy is now fat-headed, and likes to go down to the river to take a bubble bath every day after getting up, and then go around, bully and bully those marmots, and find some game in the woods by the way.
The Cleveland Ranch is big enough that it has lived in it for so many years that it doesn't feel constrained, and it only needs to think about where to go for fun every day.
Last time it found a beehive in the woods, hidden in the crevices of dead tree branches, about six or seven meters above the ground.
Today, I didn't restrain my yearning for honey, and trotted all the way, but it still came to the dead tree to probe its brain, and finally began to climb up, the movements were clumsy and funny, and from time to time it looked down for fear of falling.
Soon, Mocha was able to touch soft things with his paws, tear it a little harder, retract his paws and stretch out his tongue to lick them, his little eyes were full of energy, and he looked very happy.
The base camp was attacked, and the bees began to get angry, not looking small, and swarming towards it.
There were a lot of them, and the hive Mocha found was relatively large, and after a few seconds, bees began to attack its nose and eyes, and even then, it still tore off a piece of the hive, then bit it in its mouth, and fled down the tree.
……
The next morning.
At the door of the villa, Adlina, who had just fed her little milk dog, was lying on the rocking chair in front of the door and stroking her belly with her hands, already resigned herself to her pregnancy and was willing to accept the reality.
She frowned at the moment, and a voice came out of her mouth: "Hmm...... There's only one bear on our ranch, but how did Mocha become like this?"
Zhang Xiaokai was next to him hahahaha, laughing until he couldn't breathe.
I saw that the mocha bear's nose was swollen, and his two eyes were also swollen, leaving only a slit, and he could barely see the original appearance, leaning on the porch and humming.
How can I do it without taking pictures at this time, Zhang Xiaokai took out his mobile phone and took a wild shot, guessing that he was stung by a bee, checking with his mobile phone, and found that the problem was not big, so he suddenly laughed even more happily, and laughed at his big white bear unscrupulously.
Mocha was so angry that he endured the pain and wanted to take his master to avenge himself.
The alfalfa grass has entered the flowering season, and there are really a lot of bees around, Zhang Xiaokai didn't want to become like this, so he first found a small tweezer to help it take out the stinger......
