"Let's talk about it, don't worry about anything, it's all your own people." Dai Xu saw that she seemed a little embarrassed to speak, so he nodded to her, and gave Tang Hongye another look, after all, Du Juan was a newcomer, and he didn't know anyone, and the only acquaintance was Tang Hongye himself, "Do you say, Hongye?" ”

"If you think of anything, you can say, don't spit it out, just try it, if it doesn't work, it's not a big deal, you're not a cat, I don't expect you to be an expert in rat catching." Tang Hongye's original intention was naturally to encourage Du Juan to speak, but when these words came out of his mouth, he involuntarily added a little angry tone.

Fang Yuan glared at him from the side, Du Juan didn't particularly care about this, since everyone encouraged her to speak her mind, she was not a person who twisted and pinched, so he said to a few of them: "Our current situation and environment are unlikely to get any high-end rat trap equipment immediately, I have seen a show about folk homemade rat traps before, only need to build a small mechanism, can make rats in and out." Now that small warehouse is closed and dark, it is daylight outside, and there are many people, no matter how afraid of people are, the rats will not be bold, so they should prefer to stay in such a dark room, so I thought, let's find a cage that is enough to hold most of the rats inside, build a small rat trap like that at the mouth of the cage, and connect the outside of the small trap with a thicker round pipe to make a darker passage. ”

When she said this, the others probably understood what she meant.

"Isn't it better to cover the cage with a black cloth?" A colleague from the county bureau was inspired to ask, "Do you want to make a hole in the door so that the rats can run through the pipe to the cage, let's find a way to scare the rats and force them to escape from the pipe, and when they enter the cage, they will be blocked by the authorities, so that they can only enter and not exit, and we can catch them all alive!" ”

"I can't say for sure if I can catch all of them, but as long as I can catch the vast majority, it doesn't matter if the other sporadic 'fish that slip through the net' escapes out, or if they are locked inside, it's at least easier and safer to deal with them than such a large group." Cuckoo nodded, her idea is indeed like this, but whether the feasibility is high or not, she can't say, "That mechanism is also relatively simple, that is, to build a seesaw at the mouth of the cage, when the mouse runs over from the outside, it can rely on its own weight to press down the original warped end, so that it enters the cage, once the weight of the mouse is not pressed on the top, the board will be re-cocked, blocking the way out." That's how the show I watched before, except that the show just catches a single mouse, using something like a drink bottle, and we're going to solve a bunch of them this time. ”

"Well, I think that's a good idea, let's see if we can solve the needs of these props." After listening to the cuckoo's explanation, Dai Xu had already understood it thoroughly, so he nodded and went out to the nearby villagers to ask if they could provide tools and materials or help make this large mousetrap.

In this small village, perhaps too high-end and advanced high-tech rat trapping equipment is not easy to find, the materials needed for the idea proposed by the cuckoo are easy to obtain, and the villagers who are watching outside are also very enthusiastic, Dai Xu left not long after they prepared the tools they needed and brought them back, and then the problem of installation and implementation was the problem, when everyone was busy dealing with these things, Tang Hongye suddenly walked to the cuckoo who wanted to help on the side, reached out and grabbed her arm, and pulled her aside.

"It's almost done, you go to the side, stand far away, don't make a mess." He said to the cuckoo with a frown.

"Tang Hongye, you're a little too much, how are you talking......" Fang Yuan whispered to him on the side.

"You don't understand," Tang Hongye was helpless and a little aggrieved when Fang Yuan said this, "Alas, forget it, don't talk about it, I'll help go, hurry up and get those rats out, so that I can go in and deal with the scene." ”

Fang Yuan, who was going to do next, couldn't help much, so he accompanied the cuckoo to the side, and the side quickly opened a gap in the door of the warehouse, and then blocked the hole in the door with the pipe covered with a black cloth and the cage with a mechanism installed and also covered with a black cloth, and several other people completely removed the wooden plank of the window, and used a flashlight to shine inside, while sticking in a long wooden stick to disturb the big rat inside.

The big rats really began to run around, trying to find a way out, and gradually found the newly opened hole in the door, and drilled this way, because the big rats ran through it, making a sound of squeezing, and the cage gradually began to have the sound of rats squeaking, and because the big rats inside tried to escape, they began to rush into the cage and tremble.

The cuckoo stood aside, because she had just been pulled away by Tang Hongye, so she stood far away from the rat cage, but her face became more and more pale, her expression looked very nervous, and her two hands were slightly clenched into fists and hid at her side.

"You're afraid of rats, aren't you?" Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw Cuckoo's reaction.

Du Juan nodded a little embarrassedly: "Well, I've been very scared since I was a child, and I can overcome the rest, but I'm afraid of mice, I really can't overcome it, and I feel uncomfortable when I see it." ”

Fang Yuan looked at Tang Hongye, who was helping over there, and nodded knowingly.

After a while, there was a mouse cry in the covered cage, and the cage kept shaking, and it was obvious that the big rats inside were desperately trying to break free from the cage, and the round pipe connecting the hole in the door and the cage was quiet, and it seemed that the rats should have run away.

So everyone removed those things, the cage used to lock the rats was a large iron chicken coop temporarily carried from the neighbor's house, nearly one meter five long, seventy or eighty centimeters high, and it weighed more than ten pounds, and now there were so many big rats in it, and no one could lift it, and finally it was carried by two male police officers to a place that was not in the way on the side of the yard, and the black cloth that was originally covered with it was also torn off in the process, and everyone was surprised, the mice in this cage were really big enough, The smallest of them are fatter than the rats they see on weekdays, and the larger ones are about to catch up with the red squirrels, and at a glance, they feel that there is a black and hemp cage, and there is no way to see how many there are, even Tang Hongye, who has already spied on the situation inside, is still a little surprised when he sees the big mouse in the cage in front of him.

Not only them, but even the villagers who gathered outside the yard to watch the excitement outside the cordon, saw this large cage of rats were also frightened, and there were many discussions, many people said that although they lived in such an environment in the countryside, it was the first time in their lives to see this number of rats in such a concentrated manner, not to mention that these rats are so fat and big, not at all the kind of small mice that can be seen in the small warehouse in the field.

Tang Hongye listened to the gossip of these villagers outside, and there was a little muttering in his heart, he frowned, and was a little puzzled: "Such a large number of big rats were deliberately locked up with the deceased, and the deceased was gnawed to the point that they couldn't be shaped, this person couldn't have been bitten to death by rats, right?" ”

At this time, the cuckoo had also returned to the front of the small warehouse, the warehouse door was opened, and the wooden planks had been removed from the originally sealed small window, and now the situation inside the small warehouse could be seen clearly by the natural light outside. There is a deceased in the small warehouse who should be male from the clothes and fell face down on the ground, and the limbs that were exposed to the short-sleeved shirt and shorts can be clearly seen to have gnawed wounds, but there is no blood at the scene, the deceased is estimated to have been here for a few days, it is now early summer, A city is cooler in the morning and evening, the temperature can reach 267 degrees at noon, and occasionally it will be higher, the small warehouse is cooler and dryer, and the temperature is several degrees lower than the outside, But you can already smell the rancid stench.

Dead corpses, Du Juan is not so afraid, although she is not very familiar with everyone else except Tang Hongye, but she still does her best to help deal with what she can. At this time, the colleagues of forensic technology and forensic medicine also began to investigate the scene, and the person who came to the scene was Liu Forensic Doctor of the Public Security Bureau of A, who was more familiar with them, and he was also more interested in the deceased who was in the same room with the rats.

"No," Forensic Doctor Liu heard Tang Hongye's question while examining the corpse, so he answered him, "Generally speaking, people who have no ability to move may be bitten by rats, and infants and young children who are completely incapacitated have also been bitten to death by rats, but this deceased is obviously not, judging from the situation at the scene, there are no obvious blood stains, and many wounds on the corpse are formed by rats gnawing early after death, not injuries before death, he is a relatively tall adult male, The possibility of death from a rat bite is very small, even in a swarm of rats. ”

"Can you find a fatal wound on the surface?" The cuckoo asked cautiously.

Forensic Doctor Liu shook his head, although he didn't know Du Juan, but he had also heard that there was a new policewoman who had been transferred before, so he already had a guess about Du Juan's identity: "Actually, Tang Hongye was right partly, although this person was not bitten to death by a mouse, but I think nine times out of ten he died because he was bitten by a mouse." ”
