Yi nodded and asked, "Have you found out where these snakes came from? Who brought them in?"
“Young Madam, we just checked the security cameras outside the villa and didn’t find anyone bringing in so many snakes. Besides, even without security cameras, if someone brought in so many snakes at once, we would definitely have noticed.”
That makes sense. If so many snakes were brought in by one person, it would attract a lot of attention.
“However, these snakes are probably domesticated,” Xiao Hei added.
"A domesticated animal?" Yi looked up in surprise. "How do you know it's a domesticated animal?"
“Young Madam, these snakes are of different species, and logically, their temperaments should differ. But strangely, these snakes are all very gentle and lazy, suggesting they have been domesticated. Most importantly, some of these snakes are originally venomous, but their fangs have been removed. Therefore, we all agree that these are domesticated snakes.”
"Hmm." Yi Yi nodded thoughtfully. Since they were domesticated, wouldn't it be possible to find the owner of these snakes and expose the person behind them?
Li Ma listened in stunned silence, then sighed, "I wonder which heartless person kept so many creepy things. Maybe they should just throw these snakes far away so they won't scare people."
“We can’t throw them away.” Yi Yi had an idea. She lowered her voice, so low that only the three of them could hear her. “Xiao Hei, take these snakes and go find their owner. Whoever it is, if they keep so many of these things, their neighbors will definitely know. A little inquiry should give us some clues.”
"But young mistress, there are quite a few people who keep snakes. Especially some wild game restaurants or pet stores, there are several of them just two streets away from our Maple Riverside. So how are we going to determine which family owns these snakes?"
"Didn't you say that these snakes are all domesticated? Then they must be very familiar with their natural habitat. If we take them to their natural habitat, their behavior will definitely be different from when they are elsewhere."
Yi Yi herself had raised many small animals in the jungle and knew their habits well. Animals are not as adaptable as humans, nor as adaptable as foxes; they are more dependent on their environment or the place where they grew up. Therefore, they will show anxiety when they go to a new place, but they will be more at ease in their familiar environment.
Although she had never been in contact with snakes, she thought that snakes, like other animals, would behave differently in familiar and unfamiliar environments.
Xiao Hei, having never dealt with these animals before, was unsure if Yi Yi's method was feasible and asked doubtfully, "Young Madam, will this method work? Otherwise, I'll think of another way."
"Just do as I say first; it's the simplest and quickest way. Besides, to bring so many snakes here, their original location probably isn't too far from here. Try it first, and if it doesn't work, then try other methods."
"Yes, I will take care of it right away."
The men in black retreated from the villa. The servants, who had been fleeing in terror, gradually gathered together, standing far away from Yi Yi, pointing and whispering among themselves.
It's obvious they must have thought it was strange that so many snakes suddenly appeared at Yi Yi's room door.
