Chapter 95 Guess
Chapter 95 Guess
Not long after, the door of the room opened. The chief of the police station thought it was a policeman knocking on the door to report on his work, but when he saw the little guy under his feet, he was immediately frightened.
The pangolin ignored the director and quickly crawled in. It came to a cabinet in the corner and continued to rummage around.
No one was sure what was going on, but someone finally called Jiang Shiyan over.
Jiang Shiyan thought the little guy was making trouble, but when she asked, she found out that the wall behind the cabinet was infested with ants. After moving it away, she found several ant holes on the wall. And they were not ordinary ants, but termites that are extremely destructive to buildings.
This also scared the director, and he quickly asked someone to call professional personnel to come and deal with it.
The little pangolin happily ate the buffet.
Jiang Shiyan squatted aside and looked at the pangolin. He also took out his mobile phone to shoot a video. He was thinking about sending the video to Director He at the base when something suddenly flashed through his mind.
Many people in those villages make a living by smuggling wild animals. Does this also mean that the resources in the mountains are abundant?
Pangolins are scarce and endangered, but they were able to obtain so many pangolin scales. Does this also mean that there are still traces of wild pangolins in this mountain?
If we find the pangolins, we may be able to find the hunters...
"Yanyan?"
Jiang Shiyan came back to his senses and asked the police station chief: "Chief Zhang, have you found any traces of pangolins?"
Director Zhang was stunned: "More than 20 years ago, many pangolins were found in the mountains, but now there has been no news for a long time..."
Since pangolins have been hunted in large numbers, their numbers have become increasingly scarce.
The officially registered number is only a dozen or so, but in fact, relevant animal protection personnel have been working hard to find more traces of wild pangolins.
Jiang Shiyan looked at Yan Anting: "Brother Yan..."
Yan Anting probably guessed what Jiang Shiyan was thinking and shook his head: "It's too dangerous!"
"We won't go into the village, but into the mountains." Jiang Shiyan said anxiously, "It's very likely that we'll find wild pangolins in the mountains. A pangolin can eat millions of ants and termites a year, protecting nearly 300 acres of forest embankments from being damaged by ants. It's very difficult to find wild pangolins in China nowadays. If there are any here, it will be of great significance to the reproduction of pangolins!"
Yan Anting frowned and did not answer Jiang Shiyan's words, but was thinking about something.
Jiang Shiyan also realized that she seemed a little overly excited. She slowly calmed herself down and then asked about the situation of the pangolin wall.
[There are so many, this wall is about to collapse.]
"Not now, right?" Jiang Shiyan jumped up instantly.
[I don’t know, but there are so many termites in this wall.]
"Director Zhang, this office can no longer be occupied. The wall is about to collapse! We'd better take protective measures at the back. If the wall collapses, it will easily cause harm to passers-by and vehicles..."
Soon, professional termite detection staff arrived, and after scanning with instruments, they found that the wall had been severely eroded by termites. Just as Jiang Shiyan said, there was a risk of collapse at any time.
The holes made by termites are too hidden, behind cabinets and in wall corners, and are difficult to find unless you look for them deliberately.
The mountain is too large, and it is too difficult for just a few of them to find wild pangolins in the mountain. Although Jiang Shiyan couldn't wait to go into the mountain, he came to his senses after Yan Anting analyzed the pros and cons.
The breeding season for piercers is April and May, and now is the best time to look for them.
Jiang Shiyan immediately called Director Lin and put forward his own guess, and also proposed to form a professional team to search for pangolins.
"Xiao Jiang, are you sure there are wild pangolins on that mountain?"
"Not sure." Jiang Shiyan paused, "But there is a high possibility. Now is the breeding and mating season of pangolins. It is the best time to find them. Director Lin, I want to give it a try."
Director Lin was silent for a while, but did not agree immediately. Instead, he said, "Xiao Jiang, I can't make a decision on this matter. I need to hold a meeting to discuss it with other people. How about this? You wait for my news."
"Okay, thank you Director Lin."
After Jiang Shiyan reported the news, he was about to contact Director He of the Wildlife Conservation Base, but Yan Anting stopped him and said, "Wait a minute."
"Ok?"
"Wait for news from Director Lin." Yan Anting smiled and said, "It can be considered as social etiquette."
Jiang Shiyan didn't understand what Yan Anting meant after a long time.
……
The policemen who disguised themselves as big bosses of restaurants in Haicheng also made some gains. They found that many people in those villages were doing similar businesses. Some of them often went into the mountains to hunt, while others specialized in transportation. There would be special companies organizing regular trips to the villages to purchase goods at high prices.
According to past practice, the acquiring company would come to the village again three days later to check on the "goods".
And three days later was Jiang Shiyan’s birthday.
Now Jiang Shiyan could no longer hide the truth from his father and mother, so he took the initiative to call and tell them where he was going.
"You kid, you actually go on such a dangerous journey!" Jiang's mother was extremely anxious.
"I'm the police station's specially hired animal expert." Jiang Shiyan touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "Mom, don't be angry. I'll be back soon after the mission is completed. And I didn't go to the village with them. I've been in the police station the whole time."
"Alright, alright." Father Jiang consoled his wife, "Our daughter is also promising. Isn't this a good thing?"
"It's better for him to stay at home. We can afford to support him." Jiang's mother said dissatisfiedly.
Jiang Shiyan looked at Jiang's father for help.
Father Jiang put his arm around Mother Jiang's shoulders, patted her and said, "Our daughter is also someone who is respected by the government. This is a good thing. Don't worry, she will know her limits."
After that, he looked at Jiang Shiyan: "Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Jiang Shiyan made assurances again and again.
After hanging up the video call, Jiang Shiyan didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief before Jiang Yiheng called and scolded him again. Before leaving, he lied to him that he would be back in two days, but now he has to stay for several days.
Jiang Shiyan touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.
It touched the pangolin's head again: "Are you hungry?"
The pangolin shook its head. It had eaten too much during the day and was not hungry at all.
Jiang Shiyan was worried about the three kittens. When the police came back, the three kittens did not come back with them. Although Jiang Shiyan knew that they would not encounter any danger, she was still worried when she didn't see them.
Just as she was drowsily preparing to go to sleep, she heard the call of a wild cat outside the window.
Jiang Shiyan initially thought it was the sound of a wild cat in heat, but after listening for a while, he suddenly woke up and sat up directly -
There was a dark shadow outside the window.
Jiang Shiyan was also startled as the curtains were blown.
After taking a closer look, I realized it was Bu Bu!
Bubu is a cat with all black fur. It stands by the window late at night, with a pair of green eyes glowing faintly and meowing. It is so scary.
She quickly opened the window and jumped into the room nimbly.
"Bu Bu, why are you the only one who came back? Where are Hu Hu and Jingye?" Jiang Shiyan asked impatiently.
