Society, you crow brother

...Shit, is the crow dead?

The people who were originally watching with great interest were stunned and looked at each other. They had never expected such a development.

“Gah—”

"quack--"

Not far away, a flock of crows spread their wings at the call of the two leaders and soon came to them.

The weather happened to be terrible and the atmosphere was gloomy.

Dozens of large black birds landed on the dead tree, staring solemnly and tensely at the corpses of their own kind below, and occasionally making shrill and piercing cries. Their black feathers against the gloomy sky made them look like they were mourning.

"The funeral of a crow..."

Someone murmured, reluctantly but cherishingly pressing the shutter: "They look very sad. It turns out that animals also mourn the death of their own kind."

"No, no, this is not some flimsy, pathetic funeral."

Hearing this, the bird lovers in the crowd laughed and hurried to explain.

"On the contrary, the Crows are probably launching a murder investigation."

That's true.

If anyone could understand crow language, they would know that the shrill and harsh cries were not the wailing that humans had guessed, but rather a strict and orderly command:

"Caw! Caw!" Which crow knows it? Stand out!

"Ha-ha-ha!" You guys go take a look around - check for threats!

"Ga, ga, ga." Come here, let's check the guy's body.

The crows had a clear division of labor. Some crows flew far away to stand guard and warn humans, some stayed on the trees to observe the situation, and some landed and approached the corpse to explore.

It's not a funeral, it's a death inquest.

“Gah.”

The leaders of the two crow groups were both members of the exploration group. They looked at each other and decided to coexist peacefully for the time being because of the unknown threat and started investigating together.

Preliminary investigations showed that the dead raven belonged to a crow colony in the suburbs.

The last time it appeared in front of its companions was a day ago.

Because they chose to retreat from the core area of ​​the city, the discipline of this group of crows is relatively loose. They do not hold meetings every night like the crow group that the protagonist crow belongs to. It is actually normal for the death of a member to not be discovered in time.

But unexpectedly, it finally appeared at the place where the two leaders were fighting, which was really scary.

"quack."

Logically speaking, since the problem was with another crow, it should have nothing to do with the protagonist crow now.

But the protagonist crow still spread his wings and patted the other leader crow in a friendly manner, indicating that he could help.

"Guga."

The leader crow moved its paws to avoid its goodwill, but did not resist much. It just let out a low cry, signaling everyone to mind their own business.

Next we need to investigate the cause of death.

Ravens will not easily touch the corpses of their own kind because they cannot be sure whether there are any threats on the corpse, so they usually only investigate around the corpse.

Judging from the appearance alone, the dead raven looks normal, the body is intact, and there are no signs of external trauma.

Then, the murderer can rule out natural enemies such as birds of prey.

“Gah—”

The crows that were checking their surroundings also sent messages saying that they did not find any danger nearby that they thought was dangerous.

Okay, this is a tricky mystery.

After circling around the corpse for a while, they couldn't find any clues. The leader Crow on the other side gave up first and just wanted to mark this place as a dangerous place and ordered his companions not to get close.

“Ga-ga-ga-ga-ga”

As for the internal fighting among the crows, let's do it another day, in a safer place.

The leader crow flew to the tree where his flock was and sent this ceasefire signal.

Protagonist Crow: ...

Ga!

How is this possible!

The protagonist Crow felt very unhappy.

The ambitious Crow always likes to challenge difficult tasks, whether it is mimicking or recognizing people, he will continue to try even if his head hurts. How could he be willing to compromise?

It would be fine if they could just avoid a threat that could not be resolved, but if they just avoided the unknown, the crows' living space would inevitably shrink step by step, which was not what they wanted.

“Gah—”

The protagonist crow also flew back to its own crow flock, but it issued an order that was completely different from that of the other leader crow.

——Stay vigilant and continue investigating.

"Haha!" Got it!

Like a leader, like a group of members. The crows responded to the boss's order in unison, without complaining about the danger. They were all excited:

Go!

This is Ya Ya's territory!

What the boss said is right!

Revenge for the strange crow!

“Crash!”

After the investigation, the crows on the dead tree flew away, leaving only the trembling dark brown branches.

People outside the venue were discussing:

"Alas, there is nothing to be found."

"If the murderer cannot be found, will the crows really stay away from this area?"

"Yes, they will mark this place as a dangerous area."

"Oh, luckily it didn't happen in the city, otherwise if the crows were scared away I wouldn't know where to smoke them!"

"Oh... is there still such a thing?"

"Yeah, they're all gone."

Seeing both flocks of crows fly away, the onlookers sighed, thinking that they had gained nothing and had to give up.

Only the audience in the live broadcast room knew the protagonist Crow's true thoughts through the narration.

They cheered like crazy.

【Brother Ya is so handsome! 】

[As expected, it has to be the protagonist Crow. This kind of mindset is destined to be the material for the boss! ]

[Oh, come to think of it, the reason why the other group of crows moved to the suburbs was because they didn't understand the changes that had taken place in the city because of the protagonist crow, so they themselves tended to be conservative and cautious.]

[Wow, the development is strangely consistent with the reformists and conservatives in the gang in the original work, it makes sense. ]

[So, how did that crow die? Although the crows can't tell, but I saw that its wings were spread out, and the unnatural stiff death looked like it was poisoned? ]

[Poisoning? Did he accidentally eat something dirty? Crows don’t know anything about medicine, how are they supposed to investigate…]

The crows flew away, and the camera froze on the horizon where they disappeared.

The narrator concluded:

"The gang's ultimate feud was temporarily stopped due to an unexpected episode, and the investigation still yielded nothing."

"On this incident, they hold completely different views from the leader, but this time, many members support them."

"It seems like this was just an accident..."

"But, is it really so?"

[Oh! The narrator means! There is a shady hand! ]

[Damn it, so that crow died a violent death! Brother Crow, it’s all up to you! ]

[Ah, although I've read too many conspiracy theories, I'm a little afraid that some villains will take this opportunity to mess with Yaya, I hope that's not the case.]

[The crows are police birds! They are backed by the police and the evil forces of the chaebol! Let's see who dares to do anything to them! ]

[However, crows are very friendly, so there is still some risk... I hope everyone can be more vigilant recently. ]

Don't worry, the protagonist Crow will take action.

Because of this accident, he held a special safety meeting after returning, and as the boss, he gave three death orders to all members.

First of all, before the final results are investigated, each crow must be accompanied by one or more companion crows to ensure that the group can discover the accident in the first time if it happens again.

Secondly, it is forbidden to use any objects of unknown origin. During special periods, even crows must restrain their strong curiosity.

Finally, be a friendly crow. Since you have already made a truce with another crow group, you are a companion. If the other crow group is in danger, the crow should also boldly help.

The protagonist Crow: “Huh?” Do you understand?

Little brothers: “Ha ha!” We understand, boss!

Having experienced many ups and downs, they have long been die-hard fans of the protagonist Crow. No matter what the boss says, there must be a reason for it, so they just do it.

People in the city soon noticed the changes in the crows.

The originally scattered crows seemed to have formed a team overnight, and whenever they appeared, there were always more than two large birds.

They will still patrol and play at the spots set up for crows in the city, but will not interact with passers-by easily. No matter how much passers-by tempt them with snacks and glittery things, they will not move.

The whole cool and aloof style is completely different from the previous casual and friendly style of the street urchin.

People who didn't know this was just an emergency decision made by the crows were disappointed:

"Woo woo, I can't suck any crows..."

"It's better for them to be stupid at this time. The pigeons in the square will continue to eat even if they see a dead pigeon."

"But there's nothing we can do. They want to protect themselves this way..."

"But didn't the raven die of pesticide poisoning by accident? No matter how much they warn us, it's useless. It wasn't us who did it!"

"Yeah, didn't they say that we should only be on alert in the area where the body is? Nothing happened in our city! Isn't Boss Crow overly nervous?"

"Oh, don't say anything. It's good enough to just watch from a distance now."

Just a few days after the complaints, people witnessed another "crow funeral" in the city center and were stunned.

The stiff raven was thrown on the road, and dozens of ravens stood around its body with their heads lowered.

There were more ravens standing on the wires, looking around vigilantly and looking tense.

Why is there a dead crow here?

People were extremely surprised and wanted to get closer to take a closer look, but they were afraid of being mistaken for murderers by the crows, so they could only use cameras to capture the scene.

“Gah—”

A black shadow passed by, and the protagonist Crow entered the camera.

It seemed unusually calm. After landing on the ground, it went straight to the corpse. After a brief confirmation, it called out to its companions a few times, and then the flock of crows followed it and flew away.

"Don't……"

Some people wanted to stop the crows, but it was too late and they could only feel sad.

Don't.

I hope Yaya wouldn't classify this place as an unsafe area!

Will you come again next time? Not coming?

Who the hell dumped the dead raven here, bastard!!

After that, there were more than one cases of ravens being dumped dead in the city, even if only witnessed by humans.

They finally realized the problem - even if the crows died each time by accidentally ingesting pesticides, it is impossible for their corpses to appear repeatedly in places where crows gathered in the city, and to use intimidation to drive away the crows, who were already disgusted by unknown dangers.

So, there are bad guys.

…Who is it? !

Are you sick? !

People were outraged and tried hard to analyze the possible murderer.

The crows act as surveillance for the public security, so of course they cannot offend normal law-abiding people. Those who use such disgusting methods to retaliate against the crows must be potential criminals who have suffered at the hands of the crows or are afraid of them.

Although they knew that such incidents were not something that could be reported to the police, netizens still couldn’t help but flock to the local police’s online account to leave messages:

Your police bird is bullied by bad guys! !

This is a disguised way of riding on your faces, do you want to do something about it?

The crows haven't interacted with us recently, and the locals are very sad! Get rid of the bad guys quickly!

Install more surveillance cameras, there are too many blind spots where bodies can be dumped.

In fact, the Public Security Bureau is also very concerned about this matter.

Fu Chen communicated with the local wealthy Xu family, who had previously provided financial support to the crow feeding point, and successfully obtained a second round of funds for the installation of additional surveillance.

The equipment is on the way.

In fact, it is a very rare thing to do this for an animal in the city, but the crows have integrated so well into the city and have done so many things, so no one raised any objections.

This is certainly not enough to send out the police to control the situation, but with the deterrent effect of surveillance, people in the dark will probably not be so bold, and the crows will not have to worry.

Thinking of this, Fu Chen walked into the park again.

Even so, the crows still insisted on guarding the monitoring points for them every day, which made them feel really distressed and pity them. They could only pay for them to have more meals out of their own pockets to make up for it.

Police officers often come to comfort them during their lunch breaks.

Same thing today.

“Gah—”

Seeing the familiar uniforms, the originally silent crows suddenly became lively. They flew down skillfully and boldly snatched the peanuts from the police officers' hands.

Although people feel sorry for them, the crows actually live quite well under the care of the protagonist crow.

Every autopsy report showed that the crow that unfortunately died was still a member of the crow flock in the suburbs, and the crows themselves had not lost any members.

On the contrary, the protagonist Crow was worried that they would be bored if they didn't interact with people, so he recently took the initiative to make a patch, saying that if Crow is really bored, he can find humans in uniform to interact with.

It knows that humans wearing such clothes are more reliable.

Therefore, police officers are the only group of people who can still get Crow Crow so far.

"Just wait a day or two and it will be fine."

Fu Chen rubbed the protagonist Crow's shaking head and whispered to comfort him: "I hope I didn't scare you during this time."

The protagonist Crow: "Quack."

It's in a fairly stable mood.

After all, it was not the crow that lost members one after another. The leader crow in the suburbs was the one that was going crazy. In order to prevent the loss of members further, they all planned to directly recognize it as the boss.

Haha, I picked up a boss and no need to fight, so nice.

Although the mastermind behind the scenes has not been found out yet, the protagonist Crow is still very happy.

After all, all its younger brothers are fine, proving that it is still the most reliable and smartest boss!

"Haha, you're not panicking at all?"

Although Fu Chen didn't understand what Ya Ya meant, he could see the relief in its eyes, and inexplicably he also felt relaxed: "Okay, then I won't be nervous either, things will eventually be resolved."

The protagonist Crow: "Quack."

Fu Chen laughed, rubbed its head again, and then said goodbye to the crows.

Anyway, things will get better in a few days, right?

The police officers who were thinking this saw an unexpected scene when they went to work the next day.

Today, there are several large black birds standing on the plaque with white characters on a blue background, which inexplicably makes the plaque look a little gray.

The police officers were a little confused, but since there was a spot they had arranged for Raven nearby, they thought it was normal, so they put aside their doubts and went to work.

The crows ignored them.

“Gah!!”

But when they saw the police officer who had just changed his clothes and came out to wave tentatively, they were like a lit powder keg and suddenly issued a sharp and piercing warning sound.

It was like finding the murderer.

If you check surveillance cameras like you would a wanted criminal, you will definitely find the bad guy, but a matter of this magnitude is certainly not enough to mobilize such a large police force, so we have to rely on the smart crows to solve the problem!
