Police Detective

Aihe Garden is considered a very good community in Jiuheqiao District, and the home of the caller is a simple two-bedroom and one living room. The woman's bedroom is closed, that is to say, the animal can only hide in one living room, one bathroom and one bedroom.

Liu Feng flipped through the sofa and cushions one by one, Bai Song's ears seemed to hear something coming from the balcony, and he waved to Liu Feng, and the two of them went to the balcony quietly.

I saw a brown sharp-billed animal about 50 centimeters long, covered in scales, standing on its legs, its forelimbs were looking for opportunities to make holes, and two flower pots on the balcony had been broken by it.

pangolin? Such a word suddenly popped up in Bai Song's mind. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed exactly the same as the pangolin I had seen in the zoo.

"What is this?" Liu Feng was a little confused, isn't it a kitten or puppy? What's wrong with this thing?

"This should be a pangolin, right?" Bai Song's tone was not very sure, "I remember that this thing is only found in the south."

"Pangolin! Oh, oh, what you said is true. If there is a pangolin, there is no big problem. This thing should not bite people." Liu Feng said.

"Master Liu, is this protecting animals? How should we deal with this situation?" Bai Song looked bewildered.

"Protecting animals? Are you sure?" Liu Feng asked, "Aren't all these things farmed?"

"Ah? I remember it seems to be a second-class national protected animal." Bai Song stood at the door of the balcony, afraid that the little animal would run out. (Note 1)

"Then wait a minute, I'll call the office, we can't handle this." Liu Feng looked at the structure of the balcony, determined that it was impossible for the pangolin to scratch through the reinforced concrete balcony, and directly closed the balcony door. This operation made Bai Song a little stunned, isn't he afraid of ruining all the contents inside? Shouldn't it be caught?

"As you said, there is a special agency to protect animals. Even if this little thing demolishes the balcony, some department will lose money. It's you." Liu Feng pointed to the tool in Baisong's hand: "You hurt it It is very troublesome if he is killed or killed, and even more troublesome if he hurts you."

Bai Song smiled embarrassedly and watched Liu Feng dial the phone.

At this moment, the hostess of the house has come out. She heard the conversation between the two, and knew that it was a pangolin and had been locked up on the balcony. look in.

"Bai Song, please record the basic situation for her." After reporting to the office, Liu Feng made another call, and then walked out of the house.

"Wow, it's really a pangolin. I was really scared to death just now. This thing runs fast and has scales. It's too scary." The woman patted her chest.

"Well, it's okay, it's just a pity for your potted flowers. By the way, tell me your basic information, and I'll record it. I think the relevant department will take care of it later." Bai Song picked up the small notebook that he carried with him.

"It's okay if the flowers are destroyed, it's not in the way. My name is Xu Fang, the textile spinner." Xu Fang kept looking at the pangolin on the balcony while saying the message, and asked: "Comrade police, tell me, I can raise this little thing." Are you looking at it? It’s quite pleasing to my eyes when I look at it this way.”

"Ah?" Bai Song almost thought that he heard it wrong, and was scared to tears just now, so he just wanted to play with it, and he really didn't know whether to say it was courageous or cowardly.

"Oh, you said it, it's considered animal protection. Well, I just said that, why is this thing here? Could it be someone else's pet?" Xu Fang said to himself.

"It's hard to say, let's wait for the judgment of professionals."

Bai Song chatted with Xu Fang for about ten minutes, and Liu Feng brought Wei Suo in.

Seeing the pangolin, Wei Suo was also a little surprised, "It's really a pangolin. Liu Feng, you and the new kid are waiting here, and the security department of the sub-bureau will be there in a while. I have to go out and contact the Forestry Bureau Forest Public Security Bureau."

After Wei finished speaking, he left. At this time, Bai Song suddenly found that Xu Fang was smiling.

"What are you laughing at?" Bai Song was a little puzzled.

"Ah? I see that the policeman just called you small, why, you are so tall." Xu Fang smiled, and measured with his hands upwards.

"That's it? I'm new here, so it's normal to be called that by the master." Bai Song didn't take it seriously, but he was quite interested in what Wei said about the forest police.

Because he was afraid that the pangolin would run away, the glass door of the balcony looked very weak, so Bai Song simply moved a chair and sat by the door. After about half an hour, people from the security department came in twice and then went out. Comrades from the forest police have arrived.

I have to say that professional ones are different, not to say that it is impossible to catch this white pine, but they are wearing professional anti-bite and anti-cut equipment and a dense steel cage, which looks very professional at first glance.

The two forest policemen who entered the balcony acted swiftly. Once inside, they restrained the pangolin, put it in a cage, covered the cage with a cloth, and took it out.

Seeing this scene, Wei Suo was also relieved, and quickly said: "Thanks for your hard work, everyone, without you, we really don't know how to deal with it."

The policeman headed by the Forest Public Security waved his hands politely, "Thank you, this is not a simple pangolin. This kind of pangolin is called the Hainan subspecies of the Chinese pangolin. It is already very endangered. It would take me several times to save one here." I haven’t seen anything like this in years.”

"Ah, the Hainan subspecies? Then why did it appear here? It can't be that there is a trade in wild animals." Wei Suo looked a little dignified. Just hearing the name, he knew that this must be a protected animal.

"Well, I can't rule out this possibility. Anyway, I don't believe it's a wild animal running over." The comrade of the forest police nodded.

"Okay, I'll go back and call our Sun Office to report. I'll ask the on-site inspection comrades to investigate here. If the case is accepted, I have to trouble you to issue certificates and other things." Wei Suo said.

"That's okay, let's go back first, this little thing is frightened, it can't stay in the cage forever."

After speaking, the forest public security policemen left in three steps at a time. Before leaving, they exchanged contact information with Xu Fang, and the people from Wei Suo and the security department also left together.

Bai Song glanced at Liu Feng and asked, "Master Liu, shall we go?"

"Where are you going? Didn't you hear what Wei Suo said just now, do you want to do a site survey?" After Liu Feng finished speaking, he turned and left the room, walking towards the police car.

Baisong had learned this knowledge when he was in university, but his actual combat experience was shallow, so he followed up immediately.

Liu Feng took out a small box from the trunk of the car, took out a camera and a few stickers from it, and began to conduct a detailed inspection of the scene. Bai Song followed closely behind, watching and learning quietly.

Note 1: In June 2020, due to the sharp decline in the number of Chinese pangolins, it has been designated as a national first-class protected animal.
