Chapter 156 Acting cheaply
“If it were ordinary people, we would definitely persuade them not to go up the mountain. The dead person you saw today was a local ranger.
When there are murders in the mountains, basically 90% of them are committed by poachers. They are usually fully armed with guns and even travel in groups of three or five. It would be very dangerous for ordinary people to encounter them.
But as for you, we can only warn you to go to the mountain and not trust anyone. "
Xing Anming spoke very seriously. As for why he did not stop Du Ruo from going up the mountain, there was actually a very important reason.
After Du Ruo is labeled as a special talent, he will indeed be subject to many restrictions, such as his whereabouts, security checks, and even they will be the first suspect when a case occurs in the area.
But at the same time, there will be some conveniences, especially for people like Du Ruo who can help solve the case and have made contributions. As long as it is reasonable and legal, the local authorities will usually give them some conveniences, which can be regarded as a kind of appeasement.
"Okay, thank you very much, I will pay attention to it."
Du Ruo nodded and thanked him, but at the same time he thought of another question.
"Poachers? Poachers are definitely hunting for rare animals in the mountains, and I am doing the same thing. Doesn't that mean..."
"Captain Xing, do you have any clues about today's case? Can you tell me about it? I don't have any other intentions, I just want to know more. After all, I'm going up the mountain..."
Du Ruo thought about it and decided to ask Xing Anming directly. It was always good to know more.
“We are waiting for the forensic examination, but we will certainly not sit around waiting until the results come out, and we will closely monitor the market to see if any illegally hunted animals appear.
Find an excuse to send people to visit the surrounding villages to inquire about good hunters or archers. Such people are usually not unknown, and if they really exist, it will be easy to find them.
At the same time, we must notify the border guards to pay more attention, and we cannot rule out the possibility that someone from abroad did it.”
Xing Anming was not too wary of Du Ruo. After all, Du Ruo had just come from a long way and provided them with important clues.
Therefore, these process checks can still be disclosed, but if there are suspects identified or the latest case progress, these will not be disclosed for the sake of confidentiality.
"What if I meet him?"
Du Ruo narrowed his eyes and then asked the final question he wanted to ask.
"Haha, don't you know? As a special group, you will be judged differently in many special cases.
As long as you have evidence to prove that the other party is a criminal, and as long as you feel that the murderer poses a threat to you, you can take advantage of it to a certain extent.
We will investigate at that time. If it is confirmed that the other party is a criminal, we will commend you. But on the contrary, if the other party is innocent or just committed an ordinary crime, you will be wanted as a priority."
Xing Anming first smiled, and then said meaningfully that there are some things that others can say, but he cannot. He certainly hopes that Du Ruo can catch the criminal, which is the best result. Of course, he does not want Du Ruo to make a mistake, because if so, it will have a major impact on society.
Many things have two sides. Restrictions often also bring some conveniences. Otherwise, wouldn’t it force these special people to make mistakes?
"That's good."
Du Ruo smiled and felt relieved. At least she wouldn't have to worry about anything when going up the mountain.
"I replied to the message and found something."
At this time, Xing Anming felt the vibration in his pocket, took out his phone, took a look at it, then looked at Du Ruo and said:
"We have a village called Gangzi here. Two months ago, someone encountered a tiger while driving on the road. You can go there and have a look. As for bears, there are many of them. You can see them everywhere."
Xing Anming put away his phone and said to Du Ruo.
"Gangzi Village? Is it far from here? Can we get there today?"
Du Ruo only remembered the name of the village, and had to rely on the navigation for the rest. He had already decided that if there was nothing to do here, he would set off immediately. He would not think about anything else until he got there.
"Don't worry. There are many things you can't handle if you go alone. I know Gangzi Village. There used to be a forest farm there, but after logging was prohibited, the farm was abandoned. It's called a village, but in fact there are only a few households left.
And it's not appropriate for you to go like this, forget it, I'll make the arrangements for you."
Xing Anming thought about it, took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call. Before making the call, Xing Anming said to Du Ruo:
"Have a cup of tea first. I'll go and arrange some things. Just listen to me later. I promise to make everything clear to you."
After saying that, he went out without waiting for Du Ruo to react.
"It really fits the passion of northerners."
Seeing this, Du Ruo didn't say anything more. Since the other party said to follow his arrangements, then he would do it. Du Ruo didn't believe that the other party would harm him anyway.
He took out his cell phone and chatted with Xiang Yuanyuan for a while, roughly telling her what happened today. However, he did not mention anything about Du Ruo related to the case, and just gave a brief summary.
Xiang Yuanyuan didn't ask much, and just chattered about what happened today on the other side of the camera.
After the video chat, Du Ruo browsed on his phone for a while, and then Xing Anming opened the door and came in.
"Come on, Master Du, I have arranged everything. I'll take you there now." Xing Anming said in a hurry and went out. Du Ruo followed behind him and got into Xing Anming's car after picking up her luggage.
This time it was not a police car, but Xing Anming's private car.
"Let's not go to the village yet. Let's go to a place to get something first. But before we go, I have to ask you a question, Master Du."
Xing Anming had already started the car, but before shifting gears, he looked at Du Ruo with a serious face, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Team Xing, if you ask me, I will definitely not hide anything."
Seeing how serious the other party was, Du Ruo couldn't help but become serious as well. Xing Anming's enthusiasm really saved him a lot of trouble. It was reasonable for him to refuse to answer as long as the other party didn't ask too private questions.
"Master Du, did you have enough for lunch? Maybe you are not used to the steamed buns. We didn't prepare any for lunch. We are really sorry.
Well, I know a beef restaurant. How about I take you there for a meal first? We can leave after you are full. You are in our north, especially this is your first time in Heihe, so I can’t let you go hungry.”
Du Ruo swore that Xing Anming was really serious when he asked this question, even more serious than asking what weapon Du Ruo used, as if Du Ruo's words "Forget it, I won't eat anymore" at noon had caused him great hurt.
"Ah? No, no, no, I'm full, really, I'm full. This is the first time I've eaten such delicious steamed buns, and today's time is really not right. Let's do this, wait a few days, and when you solve the case, we can eat meat and drink wine."
Du Ruo was extremely surprised. After he realized what was happening, he quickly waved his hands. Then, fearing that the other party would be worried, he invited him to have another drink.
"That's good, it's settled, let's go now."
When Xing Anming saw that Du Ruo was not lying, he nodded and drove away.
Seeing this, Du Ruo subconsciously wiped the sweat off his forehead. It seemed that next time in the North, he really couldn't just say he wasn't full, because these northern men would really get angry.
"We are going to the Forestry Bureau to get a certificate now, but you have to be careful and don't kill protected animals. That's against the law."
Not long after Xing Anming drove, they arrived at the Forestry Bureau. Xing Anming obviously greeted them and took a photo with Du Ruo. In less than 4 minutes, everything was done, and then a certificate and a stamped A paper were in Du Ruo's hands.
"It's useless to have this thing. I don't know how to hunt in the mountains. I really like the small animals in the mountains."
Du Ruo looked at the certificate in his hand, still a little confused. He really didn't expect that a hunter could get it done so quickly.
"It's a special period now. There will be sentries on the mountain from time to time, and the patrol officers will be equipped with guns starting tomorrow. The previous team of one person will be changed to a team of two. If you have this, you can explain it when you encounter it. Otherwise, they will not let you leave, and they may even call the police.
And there is another important reason. If you go into the mountains and you have this, sometimes when you are short of food, it is not a big problem to hunt rabbits or wild boars. "
Xing Anming explained to Du Ruo that, in a nutshell, as long as Du Ruo did not hunt wild protected animals, nothing else would matter.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Du Ruo thanked him sincerely.
"Having said that, let's go buy some food and then go to the village. There are fewer residents there. And in the village, with your appetite, I think you should prepare some food, otherwise it will be difficult to buy food."
Xing Anming waved his hand nonchalantly, then took Du Ruo to buy things.
After going around in circles, they bought a lot of things, including food, clothes, and even bedding. Du Ruo originally wanted to buy a tent, but Xing Anming stopped her.
In the end, he bought half a car of things and then drove towards Gangzi Village with Du Ruo.
Gangzi Village is not close to Lesser Khingan Mountains, but is already a long way into the Lesser Khingan Mountains.
"It's almost there."
Xing Anming's car was driving further and further off the beaten track, and the trees on both sides were getting taller and taller, but the road was still very good, at least not bumpy. It was just a main road, and except for their car, there were no other vehicles passing by, which showed how remote this place was.
"arrive."
It took at least an hour and a half to drive from the city before Xing Anming's car entered a village.
Although it is called a village, it is actually already four or five in the afternoon and it is eerily quiet here.
The houses I occasionally see don’t look like they are occupied.
The vehicle continued to move forward and finally stopped in front of a house. At the door of the house, an old man was sitting on a stool smoking.
Apart from the old man, this house is not much different from other houses. If there is any difference, it is that there are a lot more firewood beside the house. The firewood has been chopped and neatly stacked on both sides of the house.
