Chapter 55 Poaching Gang
The spring mountains are covered with green mountains and thousands of ravines and rocks. The deeper you go, the less people there are.
In a hidden valley, several green tents were set up. Covered by grass leaves and branches, they almost blended in with the surrounding green. Looking down from the sky, there was basically no trace of them.
At this time, a man holding a homemade hunting rifle opened the curtain and walked out of the tent. He said to the people guarding the tent:
"Once this deal is done and the goods are sold, we can prepare to go home and rest for two months."
The man looked fierce, and the palms of his hands holding the gun were covered with thick calluses.
A hideous scar ran across his face, adding a murderous aura, and his eyes alone were enough to send shudders down his spine.
The thin young man squatting beside the earthen stove on the hillside boiling water was delighted when he heard this:
"Really, Scar Brother? That's great! My mom has messaged me asking about it several times. Once I get the money back this time, I'll be able to buy her one of those smart wheelchairs!"
"I can't believe you're so filial, Monkey!"
Another man teased on the spot.
The skinny young man nicknamed Monkey scratched his head:
"It's not easy for my mother to raise me, so I should be filial to her."
As he spoke, he exerted force with his palm and easily strangled the rabbit to death. Then he skillfully opened its belly and peeled off the rabbit's skin completely without leaving any flaws.
Scar came over with a hunting rifle, took a look, and nodded approvingly:
"You've practiced your skills well. Keep up the good work. I'll give you the job of skinning the tiger next time."
"Thank you, Scar!"
The monkey grinned, revealing its snow-white teeth, with a naive look in its smile.
At this moment, the man next to him glanced at the monkey unhappily.
After all, in this gang, technology is the capital for making a living.
Every time the monkey moves forward, others will get less money.
We are all competitors!
But Scar Brother is the leader of the gang, and he is cruel and brutal. No one dares to refute the decisions he makes.
Then we can only find ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure:
"Oh, by the way, Scar, have you been watching the news lately?"
"What?"
Scar Brother took out a piece of white cloth from his pocket and carefully wiped his beloved hunting rifle. His attention was all on it, so naturally he was a little absent-minded about other topics.
The man who was speaking was very excited and deliberately lowered his voice:
"I saw on the news that a South China tiger has appeared in the mountains this spring! That's a South China tiger that's extinct in the wild! Its fur alone would fetch a pretty penny!"
The others became excited and asked the man questions again and again.
The man instantly became the center of the team, and he was very proud of it, with a smug smile on his face.
Scar's attention was also drawn to him, and he clenched his shotgun meaningfully:
"Why sell tiger skins?! If it's a real live South China tiger, those wealthy people would pay at least a million dollars to smuggle it overseas... or even more!"
One million US dollars, everyone present was so excited that they wanted to catch the wild South China tiger tomorrow!
However, there were also people who were awake and asked hesitantly:
“But it’s hard to find the channel.”
Poaching gangs like them, who work tirelessly and go back and forth in the mountains, usually do a lot of dirty and tiring work, but in fact they make far less money than the guys who engage in smuggling and reselling behind the scenes.
But there's nothing we can do about it, because they have connections and channels.
Like the batch of wild Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkeys they sold not long ago, they only got 10,000 yuan each, but the broker turned around and sold it to some zoos with qualifications for wild animal domestication, breeding and management for 50,000 yuan.
These zoos then launder the golden monkeys under the pretext of self-breeding, and the procedures are legalized, so one can be sold for two or three hundred thousand!
The price gap is dozens of times! Who can they turn to for justice?
Thinking of these past events, the enthusiasm of the other members of the gang was immediately dampened.
Scar Brother smiled coldly:
"Who says there's no channel? Isn't it there?"
Everyone followed his gaze and saw the smallest tent in the corner.
The tent is empty now. The people living inside are said to be Scar Brother's friends. One of them is named Yuan, and everyone calls him Brother Yuan. The other one is named Zhao San, and he is Brother Yuan's errand boy.
The two men approached Scar Brother a few days ago, saying that they were looking for something in Chunshan and wanted to stay with them for a few days. Scar Brother, who had always been cautious in his actions and wary of outsiders, actually agreed to their request without hesitation!
The other people in the gang felt confused and dissatisfied with this, but they didn't dare to say anything because of Scar Brother's authority.
Now... they understand why Scar Brother left them behind!
Scar brother raised his eyebrows and smiled:
"Brother Yuan specializes in searching for rare treasures in China for wealthy overseas individuals. He has a wide network of connections. With him around, we'll have no trouble selling those South China tigers!"
"Brother Scar is awesome!"
Everyone praised excitedly.
Someone casually asked:
"Hey, why haven't they come back yet?"
"I don't know what they're looking for in Chunshan. They're so mysterious."
Everyone started discussing it one after another.
But one thing is generally agreed upon - this thing is definitely not simple!
Scar Brother didn't interrupt.
Although he and Yuan had known each other for many years, they were very wary of each other. Even if they cooperated, it was mostly for exploitation.
Yuan Shan's ruthlessness was so severe that even Scar Brother, who had killed people and been in jail, was frightened.
Therefore, even though Scar Brother was extremely curious about Yuan Shan's actions and purpose, he was afraid and did not dare to inquire too much. At most, he would just listen to his younger brothers' words.
Buzz.
Scar Brother’s phone vibrated.
He lowered his head and clicked on the location software on his phone. Seeing the flashing lights on the map, he couldn't hide his excitement:
"There's movement at number 14! It's a big one!"
Everyone suddenly became excited.
Now is the age of technology, and these criminal gangs that engage in poaching have learned to keep up with the times.
For example, the reminder at this time is from an electronic hunting trap, which is composed of a spring wire, a steel hunting trap and a positioning alarm. It is usually placed in areas where wild animals often appear. Once prey is caught, it will send a reminder to Scar Brother.
Even if the prey escapes, they can find its trace based on the positioning device!
At Scar Brother's command, everyone started to move.
They counted the things they were going to bring, confirmed the location and route of the locator...
It just so happens that this is the time when everyone's defenses are the least relaxed!
A team of dozens of people, consisting of forest police, criminal police, and civilian police, who had been lying in ambush on the nearby hillside for a long time, rushed down like a tiger and surrounded Scar Brother's gang!
Just as Monkey was about to draw his knife to resist, the young detective kicked him in the wrist, and the dagger fell out of his hand!
Scar Brother saw that the situation was not right, without even a second's hesitation, he took advantage of the chaos and fled decisively!
It happened that the police captain Tan Yong was lying in ambush nearby. He saw his movements clearly, seized the opportunity, pounced out, kicked Scar Brother down with his gun, and subdued him to the ground!
