Chapter 421: A very complicated intruder

Link has to say that Carrick's ideas are always wild.

Carrick whispered his idea.

"Crime scene evidence collection requires very experienced specialists. Of course, there are some things that do require the experience of experts. Things like footprints are also very particular about the experience of investigators. But I think it is possible to analyze the footprints collected by computer analysis, such as the height, weight, walking gait characteristics of the person who left the footprints, and so on. I think it's perfectly possible to analyze these using smart programs. If a special camera is installed, you can even see some messy footprints that are difficult to see with the naked eye, and quickly analyze and restore them. ”

"What program you want to do, of course, is your freedom. However, you have to give preference to our newly established company. ”

"Well, I will. Carrick said with a laugh. "I don't think that would take a lot of time. ”

Link knew that he did things a lot of the time just out of interest, and didn't think about benefits at all. He didn't persuade him, and he didn't listen to him anyway.

"Is the steak still palatable?" Link asked Jessica, only to be seen by both Jessica and Hannah.

Jessica said: "It tastes good, it's very special. ”

"Can I have some more, Daddy?" Hannah just ate a little Jessica's chopped steak.

It's not that she's reluctant, but that a child's stomach will be poor, and Link and Jessica won't let her eat too much fried food like steak.

Although Link spoils her, he won't let her go: "Next time Daddy will make Hannah something more delicious." Today Hannah eats cake. ”

Hannah pouted, "But the cake is not delicious." "All she eats at home is the food made by the chef, even if there is no chef there, it is also Link's. This kind of dim sum in a fast food restaurant, she is really hard to eat.

"That Hannah drinks milk. Go home and Daddy will make Hannah something to eat. ”

Hannah was finally coaxed, and they simply ate something. I went to the slot machine in the restaurant again, where Link didn't go to play. This slot machine is the main source of income for the Frontier Inn. It seems to be very prosperous to make a diet. But you need to hire someone, and all the goods need to go to Yili's supermarket to purchase. The cost is not low.

Slot machines, on the other hand, only require electricity and nothing else. There are a lot of people who want to win money from slot machines, but it takes very lucky people to do this.

Overall, the more slots, the more money the casino can make. Because according to the probability, each slot machine can earn at least 2% of the gambling bankroll. And that's the most pessimistic statistic.

And he's the kind of guy who is super lucky. If he went to play, Jennifer would want to cry without tears.

He hugged Hannah and watched Jessica play with Carrick. As a result, the two men bet fifty dollars each. Carrick quickly lost all of his.

"Why don't you play a game? Maybe we can earn back all the money we just spent. Carrick said, spreading his hands. "Of course, maybe this machine will be able to hit the jackpot twenty more times. ”

"And you're going to exchange another forty dollars?"

"Nope. Fifty dollars has been played. "He's a very self-contained person.

Jessica also lost it all. She was very disappointed and said, "I still want to buy toys for the baby in my belly after winning the lottery." ”

When Hannah heard this, she hurriedly comforted her and said, "Kaka, I have money! "She has a lot of money. Link didn't have the idea of letting his children work for himself to earn money. Since Hannah went to kindergarten, she has been given fifty dollars a day in pocket money. However, Hannah keeps most of her money in her piggy bank every day. Other kids may have just a few coins in their piggy banks, but most of her piggy banks are ten-dollar bills.

Link laughed and said, "Why didn't Hannah buy Daddy a gift?"

"Daddy's rich! Don't you remember? My money is all given by you and Kaka. ”

"But I want Hannah's gift!"

Hannah hesitated and said, "Okay, buy a gift for Daddy too." She twisted her fingers, as if she was calculating whether she had enough money to buy so many gifts.

Jessica smiled and said, "Okay, I think it's time for us to go back." ”

No sooner had they entered the farm than Link received a phone call. It was the head of Hank's Farm team who called him.

"Boss, I heard you're back on the farm. Our patrolling cowboys found a hole in the fence under the wind ridge that had been vandalized. I suspect someone broke into the farm. ”

Wind Ridge is where Oxola Farm meets the southern edge of the National Park. The border is just at the bottom of the canyon under the peaks. But now there is nothing to steal on the farm, not even livestock. Why would anyone break in? Could it be for a few oil wells?

His oil wells are in a small mountain basin called the "muddy basin". It's not very far from the Wind Ridge. If several of his oil wells were destroyed. Like being ignited. It is not even possible for such a fire to be extinguished.

I am afraid that no one in this world can extinguish the fire of crude oil that is constantly spewing out tens of thousands of barrels every day. If that happens, maybe it's not an oil well but a fire well from hell.

If that happens, the entire surrounding area could be severely affected. And large areas of his farm will be turned into a sea of fire that will never be extinguished. He shuddered at the thought of that possibility. He had never thought about security there before.

He said into the phone, "I see." I'll go over later. Plus, you rent a helicopter right away. ”

Jessica noticed that he seemed nervous. I couldn't help but worry and asked, "What's going on?"

"Oxora's side has seen signs of someone breaking in. I'm going to check it out. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "After I leave, you and Hannah are at home for the time being, and I will let Tiger and them stay safe." ”

"You still take Tiger with you. It's okay to have two people in the house watching. ”

Link thought for a moment that Tiger should have reconnaissance experience, and maybe they would find something at the scene, so he said, "I'll take Tiger with me." ”

He sent Jessica and Hannah back to the villa, gave a few words to the bodyguards, then took his pistol and called Tiger into the car, and said to Carrick, "You're staying at home too?"

"I want to check it out!"

Link didn't try to persuade him. He pulled the car up the throttle towards Oskeo.

They went to the muddy basin. There is a management team stronghold here, mainly to patrol the places where the farm security people live.

Before he could stop his car, a middle-aged cowboy and two young cowboys walked up to them. Before he could close the door, he asked the middle-aged cowboy, "Bluff, what's going on?"

"This is Mill and Trout, the first anomaly they discovered. ”

"Hello, Mir and Trout, can you tell me what you've discovered?"

Trout preemptively said: "Boss, this morning we rode horses to patrol the fence according to the work regulations. We found a hole in the fence on the southern slope of the windy south, which had been cut by barbed wire, and there were traces of someone trampling on it. ”

Mill added: "We have also found hoof prints from livestock. ”

Link was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of livestock?"

"It should be a cow's hoof print. ”

Link thought for a moment and asked, "How often do you usually make rounds?"

"We usually patrol all the fences once a week, so we do it in sections. ”

He turned to Tiger and said, "What do you want to know?"

Tiger said, "Maybe we should go to the site first. ”

Carrick approached him and said, "There are hoof prints of cows, could it be those bull thieves?"

Link frowned and said, "However, it is impossible for a thief who stole a cow to leave a cow nearby." "If it's really a bull thief who breaks in, it might be a little complicated. "Let's go to the site first. ”

He asked Bluff again, "When will the helicopter arrive?"

"They said it would be there in thirty minutes. Maybe a few more minutes will come. ”

"You stay here and wait, and when the helicopter comes, you take two people with better eyesight to search the air and see if you can find anything abnormal. ”

"Okay!"

He said to Tiger and the two cowboys, "Let's go to the scene together!"

Instead of going south, they drove straight to the west. They can drive around the farm at the west gate to the south side. If you go south, you have to climb the mountain on horseback, which will take more time.

There is a big difference in the vegetation of the north and south of the Wind Ridge. The northern slope is windwardly broken, and there is a dense coniferous forest near the summit. The southern slope is a leeward slope with dry and cold winds sinking and sparse trees in most places, but there are also woods in some places.

They walked through a salt mine on the edge of a farm and along a dirt road to the valley where the farm justified. They got out of the car and soon came to the mouth of the damaged fence. This happens to be the woods. And the terrain is also relatively rugged, and it is impossible to see this hole at a glance from either below or from above.

They didn't approach the hole directly, but stopped a few meters away.

Link saw that the hole was a meter and a half high and more than a meter wide. The barbed wire fence of his fence is a little two meters high. It almost cut through the entire barbed wire.

He said to Tiger, "Go and see." ”

Tiger nodded, he understood what Link had brought him for. He tried to break through the hole and walked over, but he carefully looked at his feet to see if there were any traces. Everyone else stood still.

Tiger walked over to the hole in the barbed wire and looked at the ground for a moment, taking a look at the broken wire being watched. After a while, he walked back and said, "Boss." Look at this!" he spread his palms. "This was found from the hook of the barbed wire. ”

"Is this cow's hair?"

"Yes. And a little bit of dandruff. It was supposed to be hung by barbed wire barbs. Tiger nodded. "And there are indeed cow hoof prints on the ground, and some human footprints. However, the mountain is rubble, and it is impossible to judge the situation of the other party. The fracture of the barbed wire fence has also had some oxidation in such a dry climate. I think it should have been cut open for more than three days."

Link looked at the few cow hairs in his hand for a moment, then turned to the two cowboys and asked, "Mill, Trout." Do you think it's calf hair or adult cow hair?"

The two cowboys only glanced at each other, and then said in unison, "It should be the calf's." "Maverick's. ”

Link thought for a moment, then took out his phone and dialed Wert's.

"Waite, my farm has been artificially broken through a hole in the fence south of Oxora. There are traces of someone breaking in. The point is, the hair of the calf was found in the barbed wire. ”
