On the mountainside of Stone Mountain where the cold wind was howling, Wei Ran, who was lying under the camouflage net, tightened the reindeer skin blanket wrapped around his body, carefully took out the wine bottle and took a sip, and continued to look at the poachers. 's camp.
Under his patient observation, the man in camouflage clothing who had left on a motorcycle not long ago returned to the camp with several dogs. The man who was already high also stood up with his SVD sniper rifle.
Immediately afterwards, the man who had just returned and was labeled "Camouflage S2" by Weiran opened the helmet box at the rear of the motorcycle. He took out a bunch of things and handed it to his companion.
Wei Ran, who was observing secretly, immediately adjusted his telescope, and then he clearly saw that what he took out from the helmet box turned out to be a golden eagle put into stockings! A living golden eagle!
But the next scene made Wei Ran frown. After the two people took the golden eagle into the cargo compartment of the truck, they did not put it directly into the cage. The drugged "Camouflage S1" actually dug out a medical bag and sewed the golden eagle's eyelids together!
Watching the two of them put the raptor into the cage, just when Wei Ran thought it was over, they actually took out a second golden eagle from the helmet box of the motorcycle and continued. operation!
It is hard to imagine that out of the tattered motorcycle helmet box and the side boxes on both sides, four golden eagles were imprisoned in layers of stockings. Without exception, these raptors had their eyelids sewn shut and thrown into iron cages in trucks.
Taking all this scene on his mobile phone, Wei Ran picked up a pencil and recorded in detail what had just happened and the time. At the same time, he secretly thought about finding an opportunity to see how they did it. Catch these birds of prey.
As he waited patiently, after the motorcycle was emptied, the "Camouflage S2" responsible for bringing the golden eagle back allowed his companion to pull out a stick from the cab of the truck. I used a new syringe and injection bottle to give myself a shot, and then I sat down on a folding chair by the campfire and started giggling in a daze.
"These two are drug addicts. I wonder if the man with the camouflage AK driving the two targets is also an addict..."
Wei Ran muttered to himself, He glanced at the photo he had just taken on the screen of his mobile phone, and then once again recorded the time when "Camouflage S2" took drugs in his notebook.
Since this man took the medicine, there have been no changes in their camp. They waited until after ten o'clock in the morning, and the two men suddenly stood up in no particular order and jumped on board quickly. From the truck cab, he greeted the dogs around him and jumped onto the truck's cargo box, leaving the camp at lightning speed.
"Did you catch prey?"
Wei Ran stood up carefully and glanced at the Gobi desert at the end of his sight, tightened the sheepskin wrapped around his shoes, and then Immediately ran towards the opponent's camp.
It was during this close observation that he noticed,In a position that I can't see, more than 20 meters away from the camp, there is a small cave that is only a little over a meter deep into the stone mountain. In this cave, there are only red plastic oil barrels and mineral water barrels next to each other. In addition, baskets of various vegetables, drinks, and even some common or uncommon seasonings are also stored.
Not far outside the cave, wooden frames were used to support pieces of animal skins waiting to be dried, heads of wild animals, as well as some pieces of meat hanging on wooden shelves, and even There is a long row of iron cages, and the iron cages are filled with hares one next to another.
After looking at the time on his watch, Wei Ran quickly walked to the tents and looked inside. I have to admit that the luggage brought by these rich people is definitely not small. The warm tents are filled with all kinds of flashy camping supplies.
In the center of the four tents, on the bonfire that was still smoking, there was a high-end outdoor coffee pot, and on the folding table next to it, there were four wooden Coffee cup and a grinder for grinding coffee beans.
Turning his head to look at the coffee pot on the campfire and the cast iron pot on another table not far away, Wei Ran simply turned around and left the other party's camp and returned to the stone mountain in the distance, using the pot again. A thick reindeer hide blanket was wrapped tightly around the body.
Less than ten minutes later, the truck had returned to the camp, and the first ones to jump out of the box were still the energetic dogs.
Immediately afterwards, the two men in camouflage uniforms carrying SVDs opened the canvas curtain of the cargo compartment and used the rocker arm on the vehicle to hang a saiga antelope with its internal organs removed outside the carriage. , skillfully began the work of peeling off the skin and cutting the flesh.
With the cooperation of these two people, a complete antelope skin was peeled off and propped up on the wooden frame, and the dogs that circled around them also got some bones and meat. Each of them ran to the campfire and started to enjoy it.
After finishing their work, the two men in camouflage uniforms each drank a glass of wine. After taking a short rest, they placed a pot on the campfire and made lunch using fresh antelope meat.
The two off-road vehicles that had driven out in the morning also came back one after another. The middle-aged man wearing a cowboy hat even found a secluded location to set up his camera and shoot a video.
Taking advantage of the bright sky at this time, Wei Ran attached his mobile phone to the eyepiece of the telescope, took photos of these people again, and recorded the time track of their activities.
Although he has already thought of a way to create an accident for the other party, Teacher Anna requires that he needs to monitor them for a week first, so for now he can only continue to wait and watch them continue. Harm those wild animals and take photos of them killing animals.
After lunch, these people drove off-road vehicles and set off again. During Weiran's boring wait, the sun sank little by little below the horizon. The two off-road vehicles also came back again, starting just like yesterday. surroundCelebrating the harvest with a bonfire.
Seeing this, Wei Ran climbed down the stone mountain silently, put away the animal skin blanket, only tied the camouflage net as a cloak, and followed his memory, one step at a time. He walked towards the location where the other party killed the wild wolf during the day yesterday.
After some searching, he finally saw clearly what these people had done with the skinned wolf corpse with the help of a little light from the phone screen.
A wooden stick with a height of just over one meter but as thick as an arm was buried around the wolf's body. On each wooden stick, two wolves were tied with chains. A beast trap with sharp teeth.
That's not all. On the top of these four wooden sticks, there is also a bird-catching net woven with fishing line, which just covers the wolf corpse below. Next to it, there was a hare with its neck tied by a wire.
Even if he had no experience hunting with Ji Ma, Wei Ran could tell at a glance that such an insidious trap could not only capture carnivorous animals, but also attract birds of prey from the sky. As long as they rush down towards the hare, they will easily be covered by the tough bird catching net.
After hesitating for a moment, Wei Ran did not touch the opponent's trap. He just took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and then immediately turned around and returned to his hiding spot.
A week passed quickly, and Wei Ran, who was already very familiar with this group of poachers, also roughly figured out their affiliation.
To put it simply, the middle-aged man in the cowboy hat is more like a middleman, and the four men in camouflage uniforms are his subordinates. In addition to driving the off-road vehicle, they are also responsible for all the menial work in the camp.
The remaining three target persons are more like clients of middle-aged men in cowboy hats. It is obvious that they enjoy hunting, and even more enjoy the excitement and novelty brought by killing and eating wild animals.
The only exception is the blonde girl. In addition to being the lover of the middle-aged man in the cowboy hat, she also seems to have an unclear underground affair with a man in camouflage clothing holding an AK rifle. .
Speaking of these four men in camouflage uniforms is also interesting. The two carrying SVD took drugs, drank alcohol, peeped at the blonde girl changing clothes, and even stole cigarettes, alcohol and even cash from the tents. It was almost perfect. It explains what it means to be a scumbag.
On the contrary, the two men in camouflage uniforms carrying AKs turned out to be serious people who did not smoke, drink or take drugs. Unfortunately, one of them seemed to have hooked up with their boss's wife, the blonde girl.
After watching the show for a full week, Wei Ran also made preparations for a full week.
He was not idle during this period. In addition to finding an opportunity to pick up a used syringe from the opponent's camp a few days ago, he also collected the carcasses of wild animals that the opponent used to set up traps. Or a lot of intestinal fluid or even cerebral spinal fluid and other things were extracted from the animal's internal organs.
Send these disgusting things in like a poison, along with a small piece of rotten flesh.He also picked up the injection bottle, and finally put it tightly in his arms with gloves to cover it for four or five days. Now, even Wei Ran himself doesn't know what will happen if he eats this thing.
On the last day of the surveillance mission, Wei Ran took the last photo of the opponent's camp in a very ritualistic manner. After the two addicts drove away again, he immediately ran into the opponent's camp and used A small piece of gauze was dipped in the diluent of the unknown liquid in the injection bottle, and he quickly smeared all the wine glasses, coffee cups, wine bottles, kettles, coffee pots and even toothbrushes that could be seen in the opponent's camp.
Finally, he used the syringe he had picked up to pour all the remaining liquid into a half-used mineral water bucket, and Wei Ran ran out of the opponent's camp.
Hiding behind the stone mountain again, Wei Ran pressed the syringe he picked up under a stone, then took off the rubber gloves on his hands and the sheepskin wrapped around his feet and stuffed them into his backpack, and then resumed Lie down and wait patiently to watch the excitement.
As expected, almost that night, every one of the poachers in the camp had diarrhea, and looking at their trends, it was clear that this was something Wei Ran had concocted. It can be said to be full of energy.
By the early morning of the next day, both the four target persons and the other four men in camouflage uniforms all looked depressed, and the blond girl did not leave the tent from beginning to end. .
Obviously, under the current suspected collective food poisoning situation, it is not easy for them to drive away and find a place to see a doctor. In desperation, the man in camouflage clothes who seemed to have an affair with the blonde asked his boss for a satellite phone and dialed.
Seeing this, Wei Ran immediately took out the satellite phone that Teacher Anna had given him and dialed the number of the anti-poaching organization.
After reporting his location and situation to the other party, Wei Ran immediately left Stone Mountain carefully, cleaned up the traces of his existence, and ran towards the stone mountain in broad daylight. On the opposite side of the Gobi Desert.
Back in his off-road vehicle, Weiran turned the key and started the engine, and then drove the car to the edge of an unknown river not far away. After cutting through the barely frozen river surface, he turned around He took out a fishing rod from the car, tied a bottle of vodka to the end of the fishing line and sank into the cold river.
After a long time, two trucks produced in the Soviet era drove past Wei Ran, and the smoke and dust raised even made Wei Ran and his rented car lose their outlines.
But soon, the truck behind stopped and two men carrying SKS semi-automatic rifles got out.
The leader walked to the edge of Wei Ran, said something in Kazakh that he could not understand, and pointed to the river not far away.
Seeing Wei Ran’s confused look, the man changed to Russian and said, “We are an anti-poaching patrol, and there are locals in this river.Fishing is prohibited, please show me..."
The man couldn't continue what he said, because after Wei Ran raised the fishing rod, the other end of the fishing line was tied Holding a bottle of vodka
“I’m just tired from walking and want to take a rest here and drink a glass of chilled vodka. ”
Wei Ran, who deliberately lowered his voice, pointed at the off-road vehicle behind him, “If you don’t believe me, look at it. I only have this fishing rod without a fishhook in my car. Of course, I Anti-poaching organizations won’t investigate drunk driving, right? "
As he spoke, Wei Ran dropped the fishing rod, then unscrewed the vodka bottle, raised his neck and took a sip of the cold liquor, and then handed it to the man opposite, "Take a sip, friend, I brought this from Uralsk. ”
The man hesitated for a moment and winked at his companion, who immediately opened the trunk of the off-road vehicle next to Wei Ran and began to check it, while he took the cold hand from Wei Ran. He took a sip from the bottle.
Soon, the man who checked Wei Ran's car closed the trunk, then shook his head at his companion and said something in Kazakh that Wei Ran could not understand.
After these words, the man who was still holding the bottle of wine became much better and enthusiastically praised the vodka in his hand in Russian.
"If you like it, keep it. Drink it."
Wei Ran said generously, "How about just thanking you for protecting those lovely wild animals? "
As he spoke, he opened the trunk of the off-road vehicle behind him and took out two extra bottles and gave them to the other party, "I still have quite a few. Of course, I may need more later. Just freeze a bottle. "
"Then we're not welcome."
The man stretched out his hand towards Wei Ran, "Bi Ran, my name is Bi Ran, friend, thank you for the wine. "
"Anton" Wei Ran shook hands with the other party politely, "Just wait and don't arrest me because I want to drink some cold drinks." ”
“No, of course not! "
With a smile on his face, he saw off the anti-poaching organization member and their truck. Wei Ran tied a bottle of vodka to the fishing line again and threw it into the river. He waited patiently and continued to watch the excitement. .
More than half an hour later, a van that was also produced in the Soviet era and still had a red cross on its body drove past Wei Ran.
Almost less than ten minutes after this van drove past, the truck that passed more than half an hour ago came back with billowing smoke and dust. Even when passing by Weiran's car, the driver rolled down the window. , holding up the vodka bottle that Wei Ran sent them not long ago and saying hello.
It was also through this opportunity that Wei Ran also saw the poachers tied up in the truck compartment. Following behind were two off-road vehicles originally belonging to poachers and a Ural truck.
Before they had gone far, Wei Ran raised his cell phone and took a photo.After taking the photos, he immediately got into the off-road vehicle and sent the photos taken in these days to Teacher Anna in chronological order.
After he finished sending the last photo, Teacher Anna also called, "The overall job is good, you can come back."
"Are you sure?" Wei Ran He asked worriedly. He always felt that this assessment seemed too simple. However, considering the important role played by Katenka and the identity of the target person, there seemed to be nothing unjustifiable in completing the assessment in such a simple way. .
"Of course,"
Teacher Anna said happily, "Also, have you found out the identities of these four target people?"
Sure enough!
As expected, Weiran started the car and drove slowly towards Uralsk while saying, "I've checked it."
"Tell me, you've checked it all. What?" Teacher Anna asked with interest.
After briefly describing the relationships between the people he had observed in the camp, Wei Ran paused and directly took the results of Katenka’s hard work over the past few days as his own and said, “In addition, according to According to my investigation, the organizer of this poaching is an American who mainly makes money by shooting hunting videos. Two of the other three people are his fans and are also members of an American hunting association. That is the last target. The only one wearing a suit in the photo is the supporter of an extreme animal protection organization in Sweden."
"Where is the blond woman?" Anna continued.
"She is the lover of the first person"
Wei Ran paused and repeated the sentence in Katenka's email with uncertainty, "But she can check The things that arrived were clean, a little unusual. Of course, her personal relationship was messy, which was another matter."
"Not bad"
Anna's. His tone became more and more satisfied, and he explained cheerfully, "That woman is a wanted criminal. You didn't find out about this."
"Wanted criminal?" Wei Ran frowned. Katenka did not find out about this. come out.
“It’s normal that you didn’t find out.”
Anna explained with a smile, “According to Gorman and I’s assumptions and our assessment of you, you might be right this time. We used force to control these ordinary people for interrogation, but so far the results are pretty good. It’s pretty good to be able to find out so much without having to come into close contact.”
Listen patiently. After finishing Teacher Anna's compliments and comments, Wei Ran quickly asked, "So, the man in camouflage clothes who is somewhat ambiguous with her is the man in the camouflage uniform that I just mentioned, codenamed "Camouflage AK1" in the photo. He is also the one. The female wanted criminal’s accomplice?”
“If you are interested, you can continue to follow this clue.”
Teacher Anna paused, “After all, it’s only this month. The course ends in nearly a week, right?"
"If IIf you don’t plan to investigate further, what will you do with the remaining days? "Wei Ran asked cautiously.
"Of course I'll go back to the forest farm for class."
Teacher Anna said matter-of-factly, "Gorman is very much looking forward to you being able to use the lessons from him this time." He learned the torture skills, but obviously, you let him down, so he hopes that you will go back to the forest farm to make up for this link. He has even prepared clues about the drug dealers mentioned before. "
Hearing this, Wei Ran said without thinking, "Forget it, I choose to continue the local investigation. ”
“Remember to go faster, the faster the speed, the higher the reward. ”
“Is there any reward? ”
“I am not a stingy person like Culp. Of course there will be rewards for doing well. "
"Don't worry, I will be able to find out the other party's identity soon. ”
After saying that, Wei Ran immediately hung up the phone, and then without thinking, he called the anti-poaching organization he had contacted not long ago.
I wanted to find out the camouflage. What’s the quickest way to find out a man’s identity? Of course it’s through the help of the authorities! Only an idiot would do that!
Simply tell the anti-poaching agent the identity of the fugitive. Members of the organization also labeled the two men in camouflage uniforms with AK assault rifles as suspected accomplices, and Wei Ran simply hung up the phone.
Less than five minutes later, Anna, who was still a guest at Nicola's home, received another call. After a few brief exchanges, she hung up the phone and put away the banknotes in front of Gorman and Nicola. < /p>
"That bastard called the police? Gorman asked angrily.
"I didn't call the police, but the result was similar. He probably notified the anti-poaching organization immediately after hanging up the phone on me, so I won." "
After saying that, Anna stacked all the bills on the table and stuffed them into her bag with peace of mind.
"It seems that last time Gorman gave the little guy The class was very effective. "Mr. Nicholas, who also lost money, was extremely happy, "In one and a half years, he has almost reached the qualifying line, which was not common at the time. "
"It's really not common."
Gorman nodded with emotion, "Although I don't have much contact with him, that young man is cautious enough and smart enough, and it's obvious that he doesn't Likes to cause trouble. "
"It's a good collaborator." Nicholas smiled and picked up the wine glass, "Then, it seems that we can officially celebrate the opening of Time Film Studio. ”
