Chapter 244 Poachers
Chu Ruanruan's eyes were filled with shock: "This is a scenic spot, why would anyone hunt here? Aren't they afraid of being discovered?"
"Don't worry about it, just call someone to rescue this female elephant!"
Ning Xuan took out his cell phone and was about to call for help, but Chu Runrun suddenly frowned.
Immediately afterwards, many people wearing cowboy clothes and holding hunting rifles rushed out from the bushes.
"Don't move, put your phone down!"
The man in the lead pointed his hunting rifle at Ning Xuan.
Ning Xuan frowned slightly, then slowly put down his phone.
These should be the people who poach in the scenic area.
Ning Xuan glanced at the group of people and finally found a person wearing the uniform of a scenic area manager among them.
No wonder these people were able to dig a hole here without being discovered. It turns out they had an insider!
The male elephant looked at the poachers, as if he knew that his wife was killed by them, and rushed towards them angrily.
The scenic area manager quickly took a tranquilizer gun and shot the bull elephant.
The concentration of the anesthetic was very strong, and the bull elephant fell heavily to the ground after taking only two steps.
Because there was a gun pointed at them, Chu Ruanruan and Ning Xuan did not dare to act rashly.
"Boss, the ivory of this bull elephant may be sold for a lot of money!" a man said excitedly.
"Stop talking nonsense and saw off the ivory quickly!" the leading man said coldly.
"Okay!"
Several men quickly took out their tools and started sawing off the elephant's tusks.
"Boss, what should we do with these two? They saw our faces. If they tell others what we did, we'll be finished!"
The leading man looked at Ning Xuan and Chu Ruanruan, thought for a moment and said, "Throw them into the pit and bury them together with the mother elephant!"
"Boss, we...we are killing someone! What if we get discovered..."
"What are you afraid of? It's not like we haven't killed before!" The man looked at Ning Xuan and Chu Runrun with a fierce look.
Ning Xuan and Chu Runrun looked at each other, and they reached a tacit understanding through their eye contact.
The two men were still sawing the tusks with great effort, but because of the bull elephant's struggle, they sawed very slowly.
"Hurry up, you two! I'll take care of the person first!"
A man walked up to Ning Xuan and Chu Ruanruan and sneered, "If you want to blame someone, blame them for meddling in other people's business! Remember this lesson in your next life!"
Chu Ruanruan slowly curled her lips: "I think it's better to give this sentence to you!"
The man was slightly stunned, then sneered:
"You're quite brave, little girl! Don't cry when I bury you alive later!"
As he said that, the man was about to reach out and push Ning Xuan down.
In a flash, Chu Ruanruan took advantage of the moment when the man's gun was about to move away and quickly grabbed the hunting rifle.
At the same time, Ning Xuan slashed the man's shoulder with a knife, and the gun was quickly snatched away by Chu Ruanruan.
Ning Xuan added another shoulder throw and knocked the man down.
Chu Ruanruan picked up the gun and pointed it at the two men who were sawing ivory and fired two shots.
The others also reacted at this time, but before they could raise their guns, Ning Xuan rushed over quickly and knocked them down in a few moves.
The sound of gunfire shook the entire rainforest, and the people outside had already noticed something was wrong.
Seeing that things were not going well, the poachers quickly dropped their weapons and tried to escape.
Chu Ruanruan took out a few paper figures from her bag and said, "Catch them for me!"
The paper man obeyed the order and flew quickly towards the poachers.
Although they were cruel, they had never seen anything as bizarre as a paper man, and they were immediately frightened and screamed.
The paper man found some vines nearby and tied up these people one by one in an orderly manner like pigs.
"Let go! Let me go! Monster, you are a monster!" Several men were so scared that their faces turned pale!
Chu Ruanruan angrily kicked the man in the face:
"What are you talking about! Have you ever seen a monster as beautiful as me?"
Man: "Monsters... Aren't all monsters beautiful?"
"Who told you that? You've read too many myths!" Chu Runrun said contemptuously.
Ning Xuan took out his cell phone and called the police, and soon, people from the local police station arrived.
The male elephant had been given anesthesia and had not yet fully woken up, but the female elephant was finally rescued after everyone's efforts.
"Thank you! We have been trying to catch these poachers for a long time. If it weren't for you, we don't know when we would have been able to catch them!" said a policeman gratefully.
"It's okay! This is what we should do." Chu Runrun smiled.
"But let me ask you one more thing, who fired the gun just now?" the police asked.
"I fired it! The situation was critical and I had no choice but to shoot, but I only hit the wrists of those two people, so they shouldn't be in danger of life!" Chu Runrun said.
"I'm not trying to hold you accountable. I just saw that your shooting skills are so good that I can't help but ask out of curiosity, where did you learn this shooting skill?" the police asked.
Chu Ruanruan took out her consultant ID from the Abnormal Case Investigation Team and handed it to the police officer:
"I'm a police officer too!"
The police were shocked when they saw the ID: "You are from the abnormal case investigation team!"
"Yeah!" Chu Ruanruan nodded.
The police looked at Chu Ruanruan, then looked at the ID, and then whispered:
"I've heard about your special detective team. I want to ask, have you really seen ghosts?"
Chu Ruanruan raised her eyebrows slightly: "There are always some unknown things in the world, ghosts are just one of them."
"Well...we recently encountered a case that was particularly strange. I have long wanted to request that you investigate it, but the director has always disagreed." said the police.
"What kind of case?" Chu Runrun asked curiously.
“Some time ago, a female corpse was found in Butterfly Valley. The body was covered with dead butterflies, which was very eerie.
After the autopsy, the medical examiner said she died of suffocation, but she did not drown, nor did she have any signs of being strangled or having her mouth and nose covered.
The most important thing is, even though he's been dead for several days, there's no sign of corpse spots or body odor. It's like he's asleep," said the police.
"Maybe it's caused by the medicine, it's nothing!" Chu Runrun frowned.
“The weird thing isn’t this, but ever since that female corpse was left at the police station, dead bodies of butterflies have been appearing inexplicably in our police station.
It's only January now, and there aren't many butterflies to be found in the entire Butterfly Valley. Not to mention where the dead butterflies on the female corpse came from, even the dead butterflies that appear from time to time in our police station are creepy enough!
Later, we couldn't stand it anymore, so we put the female corpse in the cold storage of the funeral home outside. As a result, it was just sent away the day before yesterday, and it was returned to the police station morgue the next day.
During this period, we almost didn't dare to work in the police station, for fear that the female corpse was some kind of demon or monster in disguise! "
Chu Ruanruan's brows tightened. "When something like this happened, shouldn't your leader have reported it to the Abnormal Case Investigation Team long ago? Why has he always disagreed?"
