All of a sudden, eight people wearing forest farm security office uniforms surrounded them, all carrying semi-automatic weapons. When they saw Lu Lu and others also carrying guns, they all became very alert.
When several people approached, Yuanbao, Bailong and Heizui had already issued warnings. When they approached, Lu Lu and others immediately recognized their uniforms.
Xiandong Mountain was originally within the secondary forest area of Guofu Forest Farm, so he was not surprised at all by the appearance of these people.
However, the attitude they came up with was not very friendly.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Lu almost instinctively reached out to pull out the gun on his back. But when he thought of what happened to him a few days ago, he suppressed his sensitive emotions and slowly let go of the gun butt he was already holding on to.
hand.
restraint!
"It's from the security department of the forest farm. Don't touch the guys at will, just put them away!" Lu Lu said in a low voice.
Zhang Shaofeng and others looked at Lu Lu with some surprise. They knew that he was always very cautious, and he was usually the first to appear in a situation. He must be the first to draw his gun. Today, something was a little unusual.
But they still put their guns back into their holsters.
He just stood there and watched eight guards rushing over with guns in hand.
"I am Xiang Liping, captain of the forestry security department. This is a protected area and no trespassing is allowed. What do you do?"
The middle-aged leader stared at several people with sharp eyes and shouted loudly.
Before Lu Lu could say anything, another guard next to him had already spoken: "He is leading a dog, carrying a gun, and is dressed like this. You can tell at a glance that he is here to poach. Captain, you have to keep these things."
Take him back and interrogate him carefully. I guess it was these people who administered the medicine."
Drugged?
Lu Lu's brows jumped involuntarily, and he had a very bad feeling in his heart.
He quickly explained: "Don't talk nonsense. It's true that we are hunting, but we have just entered the mountains and haven't seen anything yet. What is poaching? How can we say that we were drugged? What kind of drug was drugged?"
Huh? Don’t slap your hat on me!"
Xiang Liping glanced at Lu Lu and the other six people with a solemn expression: "Then tell me, what are you doing here? What prey do you want to hunt?"
"We just heard that there are sika deers here, and we want to catch a few and raise them! Is there a rule that sika deers cannot be caught?" Zhang Shaofeng took a step forward and said in a very unhappy tone.
"That's right...don't you know that a sika deer reserve was established here as early as the 1980s, and people were specially assigned to patrol it? Why are you not here to poach?"
Xiang Liping immediately raised his gun, and others also raised their guns one after another.
"Don't move. We have to ask you guys to come back with us for investigation... Go to two of them and get rid of their guns and dangerous weapons."
Following Xiang Liping's order, two people immediately came forward and wanted to unload their guns.
However, as soon as they moved and stood in front of them, Yuanbao and the others, who had been grunting fiercely for a long time, immediately started barking, without giving in at all, but took two steps forward, frightening the two people so much that they did not dare to get close.
"Gentlemen, we came from Yichun, which is more than 200 kilometers away from here. The mountains are isolated. We just heard that there are deer here, so we came here. We didn't know that this place has become a protected area.
I think there is some misunderstanding."
Lu Lu said in a deep voice: "Don't investigate or not, it's not easy for us either. Since hunting is not allowed here, we can just go to another place, so why bother us?"
"The one from Yichun...is indeed a bit far away."
Xiang Liping was stunned for a moment. He also knew that in these days, sending telegrams or making phone calls were only done by people with good conditions. Most of them relied on writing letters. Even
Newspapers, the most popular thing, are often only available to some city residents or government departments, or schools. I don’t know that it is normal for Xiandong Mountain to become a protected area.
But apparently there are still excuses such as "I don't know" and "accidentally".
"You still have to come back with us to undergo investigation and prove your innocence before we can let you go!"
Xiang Liping was not going to let it go: "Watch your dog, hand over your gun and the weapons you carry with you, and go to the forest farm department. We will not let you go until the investigation is clear. We have already dealt with this matter long ago."
I reported the crime and the police from the police station are on their way."
"No...you can't understand people or something?"
Seeing Xiang Liping chattering endlessly, Zhang Shaofeng's temper suddenly rose: "I told you, we didn't know this was a protected area. If we knew, who would have traveled more than 200 kilometers to come to this place?
? Poaching, it’s not like we don’t have poaching in the mountains over there, so how can we travel so far? Besides, when it comes to hunting, we won’t use unsavory methods like drugging, who are we looking down on?”
"Fourth brother... calm down the fire!"
Lu Lu was trying to calm down and reason with others. He didn't want things to get more and more troublesome. Moreover, the other party was from the Forestry Security Department, so it was not appropriate to deal with him arbitrarily. He said something to Zhang Shaofeng, and then looked squarely at Xiang Liping.
: "We are under investigation...Brothers, give your things to them!"
As he said this, he jumped down from chasing the wind and called Yuan Bao. Then he took off his hunting bag, the semi-automatic gun in the holster, and the hunting knife hanging on his waist, and handed them all to the guard next to Xiang Liping.
: "These things of mine are all carefully prepared hunting equipment, but you have to keep them safe for me. When we leave, if anything is missing, we won't take care of them.
Also, put down your guns. Aren't you tired of holding them like this? If it goes off, it's hard to say whether it hurts people, horses, or dogs.
When you were approaching, even though we were far away, our dogs had already reminded us that if we really had a guilty conscience, we could have walked away long ago. You wouldn't even be able to see us, and we would still be waiting for you here...
…Brothers, give them your things.”
Seeing what Lu Lu had said, Zhang Shaofeng and others were reluctant to dismount, and each took off the weapons and equipment they were carrying and let the guards hold them.
"Lead the way... I would like to see what you can find out."
Zhang Shaofeng snorted coldly: "If you dare to pick up the shit basin for us, just wait and see."
I have to say that Lu Lu did it very calmly.
Indeed, as Lu Lu said, if he really had a guilty conscience or wanted to run away, he would have left long ago and would not stay here and wait honestly.
When Xiang Liping heard this, he actually began to believe that these people were not responsible for the incident.
Especially Zhang Shaofeng's words gave him a feeling that he was not easy to offend, like some big shot, and he became a little uneasy.
But no matter what, the matter had to be solved after all. What he was encountering now was not a trivial matter, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet, take the lead, and lead a few people to the guard duty room of the reserve.
After walking along the main road for about twenty minutes, a few people arrived at a yard surrounded by several brick houses at the junction of a forest and a wetland. A sign was hung on it: Xiandong Mountain Wild Sika Deer Sanctuary.
On the snowy ground in the yard, padded with some sacks, there were more than 20 sika deer of various sizes lying on it, making strange calls and twitching incessantly.
For a moment, Lu Lu couldn't help but frown slightly.
Zhang Shaofeng and others were also confused and asked Lu Lu: "What is going on?"
"It must have been drugged!" Lu Lu probably guessed what was going on: "This drug was administered very hard, and it caused so many troubles all at once."
He tied Zhui Feng to a small tree outside and warned Xiang Liping and others: "Don't blame me for not warning me. This horse of mine has a fierce temper. Anyone who comes close to me except me will be kicked or bitten.
If you don't listen to the advice and act recklessly, I will not be responsible for hurting you."
After saying that, he walked into the yard and walked first to the sika deer who were trying to stand up but couldn't. He knelt down and took a look.
Looking at the sika deer with clenched teeth, twitching all over, incontinence of urine and feces, and rapid breathing, he roughly guessed the cause of this from various symptoms.
Nine times out of ten, you have taken some medicine!
Medicinal beans made by putting aluminum potassium cyanate into hollowed corn grains or beans are used by many people who are not good at hunting to medicinal deer.
Potassium aluminum cyanate is colorless and odorless and highly toxic. It is difficult for sika deer to distinguish the medicinal beans made from it. Moreover, this is the cold winter when there is a lack of food. It is too easy for sika deer to be fooled by such delicious things as corn.
.
To overthrow more than twenty sika deer at once, how much medicine must have been poured into them!
It's really a big deal.
The small bottle of potassium aluminum cyanate that Lu Lu obtained from Jin Jiabao was not enough to make so many medicinal beans...
"Come into the office for questioning!" Xiang Liping urged from the side.
Lu Lu stood up and glanced at him, then followed him to the office. As soon as he arrived at the door and before he entered, he heard the roar of cars. Three jeeps quickly drove into the yard. After they stopped, six police officers got out.
The leading police officer got out of the car and first looked at the sika deer lying on the ground, then glanced at Lu Lu and others, and asked aloud: "What is going on?"
"That's right. Since the discovery of 13 wild sika deer in Xiandong Mountain in 1980, the county government has attached great importance to it. We have several saline-alkali lands here, which are especially loved by sika deer. It is a very suitable place for sika deer to survive. So
, in accordance with the requirements above, a protected area was established here, and efforts were made to restore the forest and create better conditions.
But poaching is rampant. Our patrol team of the Security Department patrols all year round, and it is always impossible to prevent it.
After these two years, plus the sika deer that came here, the deer herd finally grew to about a hundred, forming several small groups. But this time, they were drugged and caused trouble in at least two sika deer groups.
.This matter is too serious.
We did our routine inspection early this morning and found these sika deer in the forest. After transporting all the sika deer back, we thought that the people who drugged them would definitely come and get these sika deer back, so we went to the place where the sika deer were drugged and stayed there.
, wanted to arrest him, but after waiting for a short time, he met this group of people.
They said they came from Yichun and heard that there were deer here and wanted to catch some and keep them. They were highly suspicious, so they were brought back by us."
Xiang Liping briefly told what happened.
After hearing what he said, Lu Lu and others finally understood.
Qing Qing and the others had directly hit people at gunpoint. No wonder they were rounded up not long after they entered the forest.
In this way, the actions of several people can be considered excusable. If they appear in such a place at this time, no wonder they will be suspected.
The police officer turned around and scanned the people, then looked at the sika deer on the ground: "These sika deer are still alive, why don't you find someone to treat them?"
Xiang Liping shook his head: "Comrade Public Security, we are natives. We know that these sika deer have been poisoned by three steps, but I have never heard that people can be saved after eating this thing. Also,
Dr. Wang from the reserve has something to do at home these past two days, so I can’t get in touch with him.”
"Three steps down? What is that?" asked the leading police officer.
Xiang Liping immediately entered the office and quickly handed out a few grains of corn in his hands: "We found this at the scene. We are used to calling it three-step down, and some people call it medicine beans, which are specially used to trouble pheasants.
It's jumping cats, roe deer, sika deer, etc. If you eat it, it will cause symptoms very quickly, and it's called three-step fall."
As he spoke, he specially dug out the beeswax sealing the holes in the security cover, shook out the steamed bun crumbs and powdered potassium aluminum cyanate, and showed it to the police.
Lu Lu, on the other hand, was looking at these sika deer and murmuring in his mind: He was poisoned by aluminum potassium cyanate, and it was obviously only moderate, so how could he say it was hopeless?
