Chapter 47: Snake and Scorpion
Qi Yi also calmed down and asked, "What's going on?"
"Snakes!" Lao Chi replied: "They are big snakes, three of them, as thick as a fist, with round heads. They should not be poisonous."
It is unreliable to tell whether a snake is venomous by whether its head is round or pointed. Mao Ning'an hurriedly said: "You come out first and plug the hole, and we will find a way."
"Okay...fuck me!"
Qi Yi saw that Lao Chi had just bent his legs and wanted to squat down and slowly move out. Then he jumped up. Then he saw his legs crossed and his waist twisted hard, as if he was throwing something out, and then
Just a few gunshots.
A series of changes made Qi Yi suddenly worried and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Two snakes just landed on my shoulders. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and didn't get bitten... Damn it!"
Lao Chi came out of the room cursing, and after he finished cursing, he said: "You're not wrong, there are indeed traps inside, and there are actually a few snakes hidden inside. It's so damn insidious!"
Mao Ning'an asked: "Did you shoot?"
"I couldn't hold it back and killed all those snakes." Lao Chi said, "But I'm not sure if there are any other snakes. How about calling for reinforcements?"
Qi Yi nodded: "Scream, if you can hide a snake, you can also hide other poisonous insects. It's hard to prevent. Wear protective clothing to be more careful. Block the door opening first."
Lao Chi made a phone call. As soon as he hung up the phone, he shrugged his nose and smelled his shoulders and hands: "Don't you think there's a smell somewhere?"
Qi Yi instinctively sniffed and smelled a strange smell: "It should be the snake just now."
Lao Chi tilted his head to one side with a look of disgust and cursed again: "Damn it! Is this a snake or a bug? Why does it stink so much?"
Several people were sitting on the sofa with serious faces. Lao Chi squatted beside the door to prevent snakes from coming out, looking unlucky.
Reinforcements arrived soon. Detachment Wang personally brought people here, and also brought two sets of protective clothing, but they looked like bee-proof suits, so they probably couldn't withstand snake bites.
After asking Lao Chi and Mao Anning about the general situation, Wang Detachment gave Qi Yi a meaningful look: "Why did you break down the door? You are not usually so reckless."
Lao Chi curled his lips in disapproval. Qi Yi could always do the most reckless things with the calmest attitude. He had never seen Qi Yi's various crazy operations.
Qi Yi didn't explain much. Detachment Wang patted his shoulder with a meaningful smile, picked up a set of protective clothing and wanted to put it on and go in personally.
Lao Chi quickly ran over to grab the protective clothing: "I'll do it, I'll do it. There's no reason why we should wait outside and let the leaders work in the fields."
Team Wang swatted his hand away: "Go, go, I'm not old yet, don't do this with me!"
After saying that, he asked Lao Chi to move the door panel open and lead the people in personally.
Sure enough, the danger inside had not been eliminated. They quickly caught two more snakes and three poisonous scorpions. They took two transparent plastic boxes and put the poisonous scorpions inside before coming out.
Several people surrounded the poisonous scorpion.
Wang's detachment hunched over and took off his protective clothing: "What is this? Do any of you know? Qi Yi."
Qi Yi is the little Baidu of the police force. Sometimes I don’t know what keywords to search on Baidu, so I ask him to find out.
Qi Yi identified it for a while. He happened to have a rough understanding of this scorpion when he was studying forensic entomology: "Yellow fat-tailed scorpion, this kind of scorpion is highly poisonous and ferocious in nature. It will actively attack to kill approaching targets. It is quite dangerous."
Team Wang frowned: "Where are these snakes?"
"The King's Golden Snake, also called the Cauliflower Snake, is a relatively well-known large non-venomous snake. It poses a relatively small threat. It emits a foul odor when stimulated. This is how the smell on Lao Chi's hands and shoulders comes from."
Team Wang nodded to express understanding.
After the danger was resolved, Qi Yi and Mao Ning'an entered the guest bedroom to conduct a trace inspection and found two broken glass jars in the cabinet under the tatami, and a wooden box on the ceiling near the door.
Qi Yi found gunpowder residues on all three, and said: "The king snake and the poisonous scorpion are probably hidden in the glass jar and wooden box. There are mechanisms set up on them. Once triggered, the box will be blown up and the snake and scorpion will be killed."
They were released to attack us. However, because snakes can crawl, the two snakes on the ceiling did not fall down immediately.
Moreover, the 'firecrackers' placed on the glass tank were much more powerful. In addition to blowing up the glass tank, they also blew a hole in the tatami, which attracted most of Lao Chi's attention and did not pay much attention to the situation above his head. Fortunately, he pretended
The poisonous scorpion's tank has not been completely blown up and cannot escape, otherwise it will be even more dangerous."
"But I always feel that venomous scorpions are dangerous when the thunder is loud and the raindrops are small. With such loud noise and movement, I have to resort to killing people. It is better not to use cauliflower snakes, but to get more venomous scorpions and throw them into the corner of the room to make them more difficult to guard against.
.”
Qi Yi nodded: "I also think that his purpose may not be to kill us. What he does is more like a warning or threat, or it may be a provocation."
Detachment Wang sneered: "Threat? Ridiculous! How can we, the dignified detectives, be threatened by a criminal?
What did he think? How dare he do it? What's the benefit of provoking us? Are there such heartless criminals these days? Are there bubbles in your head? "
"Have hatred and revenge." Qi Yi glanced around the guest bedroom again.
Except for the glass jar and wooden cabinet, no other valuable traces were found in the guest bedroom. Apparently he had guessed correctly before. The guest bedroom was locked not to hinder their investigation, but to attract their attention. The door
Later, a mechanism was arranged to provoke them.
Carmen's behavior of not having three hundred taels of silver in this place basically confirmed the guess, otherwise the door would not need to be locked at all, and it would be easier for them to walk into the bedroom unprepared and be tricked.
"Detachment Wang, let me go back first." Qi Yi didn't want to stay any longer. He felt that there was no point in staying any longer: "I collected some biological test materials and took them back for testing to see the results."
"Go ahead and leave the rest to us."
Detachment Wang agreed, and Lao Chi took Qi Yi to the physical evidence identification center to deliver the down found at Wang Zangfeng's house. Then he returned to the detachment to process the hair on his hands, vomitus and other test materials and send them to the laboratory.
By the time the work was over, it was already past twelve o'clock at night.
"Is everything okay now?" Lao Chi asked: "Should we wait for the results from Lao Mao, or should we go and rest first?"
"Let's rest," Qi Yi made the rare decision not to stay up: "Be energetic, it may not be peaceful in the middle of the night."
Lao Chi thought about what happened last night and nodded seriously: "I won't return my gun for now. As long as we are in the detachment, it won't be a big problem..."
"No, you should return it to avoid accidents," Qi Yi said: "It is more dangerous if the gun is stolen. Even if you don't use it against us, just losing the gun will make you feel particularly uncomfortable, let alone if you are in Wang Zangfeng's house
Several shots were fired."
This makes sense. Lao Chi thought about it for a long time and decided to return the gun. Anyway, there were many people in the detachment, and it didn't make much difference to him whether he had a gun or not. The burdensome attribute of the gun was more important.
Chapter completed!
