Early in the morning, Liu Facai, the village chief, led a few old brothers to stand in the cowshed of a villager, looking at the old cattle that had fallen to the ground and had been dead for a long time.

The man went out to work, and only the hostess was at home, and the cow was almost half of their property, and she sat on the ground and wept.

"Village chief, this is the third time that a dead cow has been killed recently, could it be that a wolf from the mountains and forests has run in?"

An old man smoked a dry cigarette in his mouth, shaking the cigarette stick, and the ashes fell, when he was young, he was an old hunter in the village, very experienced, but in recent years he could not hunt, and he also abandoned his craft.

"If it's a wolf, then there must be several, you see such a big cow. ”

"yes, do you want to report to the township joint defense team. What if the wolf comes back in the evening?"

"I've heard old people say that wolves have killed people in those years. ”

"Yes, if you look at the footprints here, they must be wolves. ”

Everyone leaned over, and on the muddy ground outside the cowshed, they saw a few paw prints, which looked like some kind of canine.

The old village chief listened to these people gossiping for a long time, and he had no idea in his heart, now the young and strong people in the village are not at home, only some old people and children, if there are really wolves, it is really very dangerous. It seems that it is better to report to the township first, and send a few joint defense team members to come down and guard it for a while.

Thinking of this, he took out the elderly machine and dialed the duty phone in the township.

"Hey, hello, is it the township? I'm Liu Facai, the head of Huangtupo Village, and several cows have died in our village recently, did the township send someone to take a look?"

"When did this happen?"

The operator on duty is Shi Yan, a little girl who was newly assigned this year, and she is still a little flustered when she receives these things, and she doesn't know how to deal with them.

"In the last week, I found out this morning that this is the third. We suspect that the wolves in the mountains have escaped. ”

"Ah, wolves, and wolves in the mountains?"

The little girl was a child who grew up in the city, and if she wanted to talk about wolves, she had only seen them in the zoo. Usually when she walks on the road, she sees the big wolf dog led by others with a rope, and they are far away.

"An old hunter in the village said it was probably a wolf, and there were several of them, and we saw the wolf's footprints on the dirt outside. ”

"I know the old village chief, I will report to the township, and you will wait where you are. ”

Shi Yan put down the phone, it was the first time she had encountered this kind of thing. The previous things, either where there was a fire, where there was a fight, where the man was beating the mother-in-law and couldn't hold it, it was the first time she had heard of something like this about a wolf biting a cow to death.

She trotted briskly, and after a while came to the duty room of the police station, there was only one person in the duty room, and that was the deputy director Wei Juncai, who was thirty-five or sixteen years old, and only came back professionally the year before last, and was the commander of the reconnaissance battalion before.

"Deputy Wei, Huangtupo Village reported that a wolf had bitten a cow to death, and they found footprints, what should we do next?"

"Wolves?"

Wei Juncai stood up suddenly, since he came back from his profession last year, he has been very bored every day, no training, no target shooting, no actual combat drills, he feels that his whole body is starting to rust, he is an excellent scout. Every day is a trivial matter, whose family quarrels again, whose cow is lost, it is all such a thing.

"Yes, I'll let them stay where they are, waiting for us to pass. ”

"yes, I see. You go and inform the township and the veterinarian station that there is a person and follow me together. I'll report this matter and I'll meet in the yard of the police station later. ”

"Okay, Deputy Wei"

The little girl staggered out again.

Wei Juncai picked up the phone and dialed a number.

Moments later, the call went through.

"Hey, hello, I'm Wei Juncai, deputy director of the Xiaoshan Township Police Station, is it the Wildlife Management Center, I have something to report to you here." ”

"Yes, we're here at the Wildlife Management Center, what's the matter with you?"

"That's right, we have received a report from the masses that there is a suspected wolf infestation in Huangtupo Village, Xiaoshan Township, Pingchang County, please send professional personnel to assist in investigating this matter. ”

"Okay, please elaborate on the situation. ”

"We're just getting to know the specifics now. ”

"I see, we'll send investigators, and we'll contact you directly when we arrive. ”

"Okay, thanks"

Wei Juncai hung up the phone, put on his coat, and walked out of the duty room, he walked to the hall and said to a young policeman who was receiving the crowd in the hall.

"Xiao Wang, come with me on a field trip. ”

This is Wang Sen, a policeman who just graduated from college this year, and the young man is very energetic, that is, he thinks about big cases all day long, and has no interest in trivial small cases.

"Wei Suo, what is the matter, it won't be another thing like two families quarreling and cattle stepping on green seedlings. ”

Wang Sen said with some complaints when he heard this, when he just graduated, he was ambitious and wanted to do a big job. However, since he went to work, every day he has done some trivial things, which makes him sometimes very frustrated.

"Villagers in Huangtupo village have reported that wolves have bitten their cattle to death, and this has happened several times. I don't know if it's true or not, in addition to the Xing'an Mountains and grasslands, where are there wolves in these years, all of them are in the zoo. ”

Wei Juncai actually didn't believe it, originally this side was located in the south by the sea, a few decades ago, he occasionally heard of the existence of wolves, but in the past ten years, he has not heard of it at all.

"Wolf, really, do you want to get a gun!"

Wang Sen immediately became a little excited when he heard this, and finally had some cases that could make people raise their spirits.

"Get a fart, maybe it's rinderpest, and it's not necessarily that someone has mental problems and kills cattle everywhere to retaliate. In the countryside, cattle are a very important property of the family, and if the cattle are killed, it is a big blow to the family. And in order to escape responsibility, he disguised himself as being bitten to death by a wolf. ”

Wei Juncai is very experienced, having spent a lot of time on the border during his career. It is located in the borderland, adjacent to Southeast Asia and other countries, and folk superstition prevails. There have been many rumors of noses and eyes, but in the end, it was confirmed that someone was playing tricks.

"In this way, if someone is really making trouble, when this person is caught, he must be given a good taste!"

Wang Sen's tone also took away the grandeur of some young people.

"What does it mean to taste great, even if it is verified, there is a severe punishment of the law waiting for him, you kid must raise your consciousness, don't fake the tiger. ”

Wei Juncai immediately corrected Wang Sen's thoughts, personal emotions and thoughts cannot be above the law, if there is such a scept, it must be stifled in advance.

"I see, Wei Suo. ”

Wang Sen replied with some frustration.

"But bring a gun, just in case. ”

He used to carry a gun, and although he couldn't use it 99 percent, he was prepared.
