This place is significantly more difficult to walk than it was in the morning.
It was dark and there was no road, so they could only feel their way. Fortunately, Jiang Si was leading the way, so they didn't have to worry about slipping or anything.
It took almost two hours to reach our destination.
Everyone except Jiang Si was a little out of breath. Seeing how calm Jiang Si was, they felt useless and tried to breathe in and out, at least they couldn't be so embarrassed.
At the same time, I admire the murderer for coming to such a remote mountain forest to dispose of the body.
Just as we were about to start digging, the waist-high grass rustled as if something had flashed by.
The place was completely dark except for the area illuminated by the lamps overhead.
In the dead of night, deep in the mountains and forests, everyone instinctively reached for the guns at their waists, tense and on guard.
Suddenly, a giant snake sprang out from not far away. Its body was about the size of an adult male, its skin a yellowish-green, its scales gleaming with a cold light. It stood upright, nearly two meters tall, with oval, vertical pupils and a blood-red forked tongue.
Everyone: What the hell is this?!
I finally understand what the director meant when he said: Is it safe?
This is clearly unscientific, and even their firearms might not be able to defeat it.
Jiang Si pulled Director Guo, who was in front of her, to the back, saying, "Find a good spot to hide."
As soon as Jiang Si finished speaking, the group scattered and found good spots where they could watch the battle while ensuring their own safety.
It's not that they're afraid of death, but sometimes you need to be self-aware, not hold others back, and if you can't win, don't try. The most useless thing is to act like a hero.
I don't know whose headlamp fell to the ground, but it just happened to shine on that spot.
Everyone: Hiss!
This Master Jiang is truly ruthless.
The yellow-green snake was beaten until it rolled on the ground, but Jiang Si was still not satisfied. She leaped up and kicked the huge snake's head. The vice-captain swore with his 5.2 eyesight that the snake's teeth were knocked out.
This was a one-sided massacre.
Everyone was thinking: Why bother coming here to get yourself killed?
The young man also had 5.2 vision. He gently nudged the vice-captain's shoulder with his own: "Captain Hao, that looks like a Class I protected animal in China."
Although it is ridiculously large, it does not diminish its species.
If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Mangshan pit viper, listed as a Class I protected wild animal in the "National Key Protected Wild Animals List" and as an endangered species on the "IUCN Red List of Threatened Species".
Due to their rarity, they are known as the "giant panda of snakes".
Anyone who kills a Class I protected animal shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention, and shall also be fined; if the circumstances are serious, the sentence shall be fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years but not more than ten years, and a fine shall also be imposed.
Director Guo asked, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
The young police officer shook his head: "I absolutely won't mistake him."
"Master Jiang, spare the snake!" Director Guo shouted. "That's a Class A protected animal; killing it will land you in jail!"
Jiang Si, who almost stomped on the ugly snake's neck at its seven-inch mark: "..."
This ugly thing in front of me is actually level one!
Jiang Si reluctantly withdrew her foot.
It was lucky that it survived because of its species.
Seeing that it should be safe, the crowd rushed out and followed behind Jiang Si to look her over.
The snake was on its last legs, its head drooping motionless.
This is already a crippled snake.
"You guys are really not picky. You can even classify such an ugly thing as a first-class animal!" Jiang Si genuinely disliked reptiles, and her words carried a hint of disdain.
Everyone: ...
How can we explain that Level 1 is because it is less common?
“I’ve already pulled out all its teeth. You can do whatever you want with it.” What Jiang Si didn’t say was that she had also broken all the snake’s bones.
Director Guo's forehead twitched as he listened. He instinctively wanted to take a puff of his cigarette, but finding none, he said, "This is what the snake looked like when we found it. We just sent it to the Forestry Bureau out of humanitarian considerations."
Others: "The director is right."
They didn't see anything just now; people need to be flexible and adaptable at appropriate times.
Besides, without Jiang Si, they might have become the snake's meal.
Jiang Si was still unwilling to give up and kicked him angrily: "You're lucky to be alive!"
Director Guo said with difficulty, "Master Jiang, please go easy on him!" If he keeps kicking, he might really die, and they won't be in a good position either, since their police badges are still flashing!
"Do you know why this beast looks so grotesque?" Jiang Si said coldly.
Director Guo: "..." He instinctively felt that he didn't want to know the answer.
"Its food source is people, the innocent civilians you are supposed to protect."
Everyone fell silent.
"Never mind, although it can't transform into a human now, it has already gained sentience. It's just a plant snake living a life worse than death." According to current human practices, a plant snake is probably destined to go to the zoo.
When the time comes for reckoning in the underworld, they will have their just desserts.
The snake's head lowered even further, almost imperceptibly.
Since the snake was immobilized, Director Guo decided to leave it for the time being.
Finding Ke Ying's remaining torso is the most important thing.
The locations weren't far apart, and this time they were all buried together.
Head, chest cavity, pelvis, arms, legs.
Each part is separate.
The person, who had been buried underground for more than two years, finally saw the light of day again, and his body was restored to its original state.
It seemed as if one could hear a sigh.
It's too dark now, so they plan to come back to collect the evidence tomorrow morning when it's light.
However, after so much time, the vegetation may have changed twice, so they don't really have any hope of finding any other evidence.
The young detective with 5.2 vision felt something flash before his eyes. When his intuition told him to turn it over, he picked it up, wiped off the dirt, and found it was golden yellow, as if it had fallen from something.
