Monday, February 12th, consecutive holidays, morning, on the way to Central Park.

Gray Yuan yawned, and helplessly followed behind the three of them who were full of interest, Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi to see the "legendary prehistoric troll" giant snapping turtle.

Take a shortcut through a residential area and find an acquaintance policeman at work - Officer Takagi.

Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi stopped to inquire and learned that it was a thief who had entered Mr. Furokoji's house late last night and stole 3 million yen in cash.

"The criminal is wearing gloves, so no fingerprints have been detected, and he is wearing a hat that only shows his eyes, and he can't describe his appearance, only that he is a tall and thin man, how is it, have you seen any suspicious people?"

Ayumi said, "I didn't see it, and if there were, we'd definitely tell you." ”

Yuan Tai said, "Let's go quickly, we have to go to Central Park." ”

Officer Takagi smiled, "In Central Park, you are going to see the giant snapping turtle, be careful not to get bitten, it will hurt." ”

Mitsuhiko said, "I know, then we'll go first." ”

Gray Yuan spoke from beginning to end, but waved his hand as he left, which was kind of a goodbye. ……

Pondside in Central Park.

City officials are using loudspeakers to warn citizens not to stand by the pond for fear of being bitten by a snapping turtle.

However, the citizens who watched the excitement did not buy it, and stood by the pond one by one, watching the people from the animal management department, trembling to catch the big snapping turtle in the pond.

"They look scared," Motota said. ”

"Of course," Mitsuhiko said, "the giant snapping turtle is very aggressive, and the strength of its upper and lower jaws is even more amazing, and it can easily bite off human fingers." ”

Ayumi exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing." ”

At this time, a large snapping turtle appeared, and the citizens pointed out the direction, making the scene seem tense.

Yuan Tai said excitedly: "It turns out that there is such a big turtle in our country." ”

Gray Plains said lazily: "Originally, there was no such turtle species, and its main habitat was from North America to Mexico. ”

Ayumi asked, "Then why are you here?"

Mitsuhiko said, "Someone must have kept it as a pet and then secretly threw it away." ”

Yuan Tai smacked his tongue and said, "How can anyone treat it as a pet?"

Mitsuhiko said: "That's not necessarily, there are all kinds of people in the world. ”

"I'm not interested in this kind of reptiles, but I can understand the feelings of those who keep them, and having a quiet and huge creature like a giant snapping turtle may fill a gap in my heart, what a lonely person. "But the number of lonely people is still increasing, and reptiles are said to be very popular." ”

Ayumi said seriously: "Although I don't understand what you're talking about, Xiao Ai, but I think that since you have raised it, you have to take good care of it, and it would be too irresponsible to abandon it." ”

Mitsuhiko said sternly: "That's right, it is unforgivable to let the species that did not exist in the first place destroy the original biological chain. ”

Yuan Tai was puzzled, "Wouldn't it be nice to have more special products?"

"That's not the case. Mitsuhiko protested, and continued, "Anyway, we should get rid of the guy who abandoned such a terrible turtle." ”

Yuan Tai cheered: "Okay, the young detective group is out!"

Ayumi asked, "But how do you find out?"

"I know," Mitsuhiko said excitedly, "the big snapping turtle eats a lot, and the people who keep it should often run to buy feed, so we just need to go to the nearby pet store and ask to find out." ”

Yuan Tai objected, "Why a nearby pet store?"

Ayumi agreed, "yes, maybe it was transported by car from a long way away, so no one would know." ”

"This," Mitsuhiko couldn't refute, "Anyway, let's start with the neighborhood first, otherwise there will be no other clues." ”

"That's right. Ayumi said.

"Let's go, the nearest pet store is here. Yuan Tai pointed the way.

Ashbara pointed to a young woman nearby, who was looking out from behind the crowd, her facial expression was obviously different from that of the people watching the excitement, and she looked nervous.

"Instead of going to the pet store, ask the sneaky lady. ”

The four of them surrounded them, and Yuan Tai asked directly, and the young woman was startled and hurriedly denied that the big snapping turtle was hers.

Mitsuhiko accused: "Don't deny it, it's the big sister you abandoned the big snapping turtle." ”

Ayumi asked, "Why, big sister?"

"I," the young woman hesitated, "my boyfriend came to my apartment yesterday and was taken aback by it, he doesn't like reptiles, so he ......"

Gray Yuan understood: "I see, there is someone who makes you no longer alone. ”

Mitsuhiko accused: "But whatever the reason, this kind of abandonment ......"

"I'm sorry, but I really can't keep it anymore. The young woman ran away.

"Stop. Yuan Tai wanted to chase, but at this time, a voice came, and someone was talking loudly, claiming the big snapping turtle.

"I'm sorry, I'm Nihonmatsu who lives in Sanchome, I didn't pay attention to let it escape yesterday, I really didn't expect it to come here, please, please catch it as soon as possible, let me take it back." ”

Gray Plains, Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi looked at each other, what was going on? A turtle has two owners?

The four of them ran over, and it was a tall young man.

Ayumi asked, "Big brother, is that turtle really yours?"

Nihonmatsu smiled: "It's true, this kind of turtle is rare." ”

Yuan Tai questioned: "This is strange, just now a big sister said that she threw it away yesterday." ”

Nihonmatsu's face changed, "No, isn't it?"

Ayumi exclaimed, "Ah, you lied!"

"Shhhh......h

Gray Plains asked, "Now, why do you say it's your turtle?"

"Is this," Nihonsong scratched his head, "it's actually to atone for his sins." ”

"Atonement?" Motota confirmed.

Nihonmatsu said sadly: "I bought a little green turtle when I was a child and kept it, but then it became more and more troublesome to take care of it, and finally one day I threw it into this pond. ”

"When I heard that a big snapping turtle was found in this pond, I thought it must have been thrown away by someone else, and the turtle had no sin in it, and I thought it was pitiful, so I wanted to take it back and adopt it, and I thought it would be an apology to the little green turtle that I had thrown away before. ”

"I see," Mitsuhiko cried with emotion, "You're such a good person." ”

Gray Yuan said: "It's just right, the young lady who abandoned this turtle doesn't want this turtle anymore, so you can take it back and take care of it." ”

"Really?" said Nihonmatsu Daiki.

Mitsuhiko was also excited, "This is also the happiest ending for this big snapping turtle, Mr. Nihonmatsu, you will definitely take good care of it, right?"

"Hmm. Nihonmatsu nodded vigorously.

At this time, something happened suddenly.

"Ah, another one. ”

"Two big snapping turtles!"

"No, no, it's here. ”

"That's three?"

"Look, there's that too. ”

"Ah, it's four, there are four big snapping turtles!"

"How so?"

"I didn't know it before. ”

"It's terrible, isn't this pool leading to America?"

"How is that possible!"

"Just kidding. ”

The crowd of onlookers spoke out one after another, pointing out the location of the four big snapping turtles, and Nihonmatsu was dumbfounded.

The person from the animal management department asked with a smile, "Mr. Nihonmatsu, which one is your turtle?"

Erbensong hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "This, forget it, please hand over all the big snapping turtles in this pool to me." ”

"All, all?" the animal management department was surprised.

Nihonmatsu said: "Because these turtles are all abandoned, they are all pitiful." ”

Mitsuhiko was so moved that he cried, "Mr. Nihonmatsu, you are really a kind-hearted person. ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Nihonmatsu said with a dry smile.

Gray Yuan looked at the person in front of him who could afford to raise four big snapping turtles, and once again confirmed that he was wearing a bargain, and the whole body probably didn't add up to 5,000 yen, which may not be enough for the food expenses of the four giant snapping turtles for a day, is it a low-key rich man?

At this time, a large snapping turtle was caught, put in an iron cage, and sent to Nihonmatsu.

Motota curiously leaned in to watch, and the big snapping turtle slammed into the cage, causing Motota to fall backwards in fright, and Ayumi couldn't help but scream.

Nihonmatsu held up Motota, "Be careful, it's like this when it suddenly rushes up and bites." ”

"Thank you. Yuan Tai said in shock.

Ayumi patted her chest, "It's scary." ”

Nihonmatsu said: "Actually, for those who like it, it's still very cute to watch. ”

Mitsuhiko praised: "You really know them, you must have learned more about raising turtles when you raised baby green turtles." ”

Nihonmatsu smiled, "Yes, I really like turtles." ”

At this time, another big snapping turtle was caught and delivered, and the people from the animal management department asked Nihonmatsu how he was going to bring these big snapping turtles back, and if he wanted them to help deliver them.

Nihonmatsu refused help, left his contact information, and left in a hurry.

Gray Hara found that after he left the park, he did not drive. ……
