Wei Hongxi handed over a photo frame. It was already in the house and did not leak information.
Feng Yi took the photo frame and looked at the people in the photo.
This photo frame was previously placed in the living room on the first floor. It was the kind that could be displayed to outsiders, and there was no trace of any illegality or violation of regulations.
There are several people in the photo, all dressed as elite business people.
Feng Yi's eyes fell on the person on the right in the middle of the photo, and he pulled out a name from his memory.
“Feng Yao?”
When Feng Yi was still in high school in Yangcheng, Feng Yao was already a successful person. Feng Yao's father was a famous foreign trade boss in Yangcheng. His success was due to family reasons and he was also very capable.
Feng Yao was five years older than Feng Yi, but Feng Yi was a marginal figure at that time, and his understanding of Feng Yao was limited to hearsay. Compared with the name "Feng Yao", Feng Yi heard more of "Feng Santu"
", this is what many people call him privately.
How Feng Yao has been doing in the past few years can be seen by looking at the decoration of this house. Let’s look at the renovation of the basement. To build it like this, it cannot be done with a small amount of money.
If he only relied on his family, it would be impossible for Feng Yao to secretly raise pythons without telling his family members. And being able to hide it for so many years also shows that he is capable.
I had never heard that Feng Yao liked to raise reptiles before. What Feng Yi didn't expect was that Feng Yao would dare to raise pythons! He even built such a "luxury" breeding space just to raise pythons!
Acquisition of national first-level protected animals without obtaining licenses for the domestication, breeding, operation and utilization of key national wild animals...
How deep is the love between these two pythons to dare to do such a thing?
Wei Hongxi and Feng Yi stood in front of a huge transparent glass wall, looking at the "indoor jungle" on the other side of the glass wall.
Several other buildings near the same community have two floors above ground and two floors underground.
The layout of this house was the same before, but after Feng Yao moved in, he remodeled and renovated it. The two underground floors were opened and merged into one floor, and he dug deeper. If he wanted to dig deeper, he had to submit a complaint with the property management.
The application is to prevent digging out certain important pipelines or causing other losses.
The Joint Security Bureau found the decoration application materials from that year. The design drawings said that a landscape house was to be built. After looking at the property, they felt that there was no danger, so it was approved.
Until the secret of this basement was discovered, everyone knew that there was a giant "breeding box" here.
“I know that some people like bonsai and some people like grass tanks, but this is the first time I have seen this kind.” Wei Hongxi said.
The first time he saw this indoor jungle, Wei Hongxi was deeply shocked. It was as if a corner of the jungle had been transplanted directly.
"This place can fit a Tyrannosaurus Rex." Feng Yi said, "Did you build this place like this because you have money and willfulness? Or is it because of love?"
Some pet owners do spend a lot of money to build nests for their pets.
However, keeping a giant python privately is against the regulations, so there is no excuse for this.
“Didn’t you ask? What did Feng Yao say?” Feng Yi asked.
“He said ‘because of love’.” Wei Hongxi said.
“Do you believe it?”
"Do not believe."
“Is there evidence?”
"No."
While talking, Wei Hongxi led Feng Yi towards a small door on the side.
“You can go in here.”
The door has an electronic lock, but colleagues from the UN Security Bureau have already fixed the lock. Opening the door, Wei Hongxi led Feng Yi into the giant "breeding box".
“The temperature, humidity and air pressure have been adjusted to the same conditions as when they were raised. It is suitable for giant pythons to live here, but it may be a little uncomfortable for us.”
As Wei Hongxi spoke, he looked at Feng Yi and found that Feng Yi's expression was a bit strange. He didn't seem nervous or disgusted. When facing those trees and vines, he seemed to have a little... yearning.
?
“What do you think?” Wei Hongxi asked.
Feng Yi did not speak for a moment.
What are your thoughts?
Does this feeling of wanting to roll around on the spot count?
But having said that, let’s put it into perspective, this place is still a bit narrow and it’s hard to move.
Feng Yi scanned the surroundings with critical eyes.
The configuration is OK, but the space is small.
Of course, it is impossible to describe real mental activities.
Feng Yi put on a serious look again and began to work.
The humid and warm air is mixed with various smells. Fresh and stale.
After the odor molecules are captured, they turn into blurry images.
Feng Yi could "see" part of the trajectory of the giant python's past movements.
On the branches, in the grass, behind the vines, by the pool...
This giant "breeding box" also has five feeding openings, making it easier for breeders to feed prey.
“The smells left here now are mostly animals such as pigs and sheep.” After a pause, Feng Yi added, “Living animals.”
Wei Hongxi nodded, they also learned this during the investigation.
The food fed to giant pythons does not necessarily have to be alive. However, nowadays, live food is rarely fed in places such as breeding centers and zoos.
Here, Mr. Feng has been feeding live animals.
“Feng Yao said it was because it was picky about food, and it was picky when it was taken over, so it has been fed live food.” Wei Hongxi said.
They couldn't ask the "Big Niuniu" whether it was true or not, but it was indeed not interested in dead food now.
Even if they are snakes of the same species, their taste may not be the same. Therefore, even if Wei Hongxi thinks that Feng Yao is lying, he has no evidence.
Feng Yi looked around, "Besides the giant python and its food, the smell left here is also that of two humans."
“Yes, a nurse and a breeder. These two people are in charge of the basement here.” Wei Hongxi also found out.
The caregivers are responsible for cleaning up the garbage in the giant breeding box and maintaining the scenery in the box. The breeders are responsible for feeding the animals. Both the caregivers and the breeders have a deep understanding of pythons, otherwise they would not be qualified for this job.
It's just that there is no surveillance here, and every time Feng Yao comes here, the nurses and breeders are not present, so they don't know what Feng Yao has done here or whether he has interacted with the giant python.
"that's it?"
Wei Hongxi was unwilling to give in.
“Aren’t there any other…uncommon animals?”
Unusual animals? Feng Yi was stunned for a moment before reacting.
Wei Hongxi means whether there were other protected animals here.
Regardless of whether they were raised here or were caught and fed to pythons, as long as they existed, Feng Yao's involvement would be even greater.
Feng Yi carefully distinguished it for a moment, then walked around every corner inside, and affirmed: "No. I don't know what it was like before. At least I don't smell it now. There are only common domestic animals here."
Wei Hongxi frowned and stood aside quietly, not asking any more questions.
Feng Yi didn't pay attention. He analyzed the smell he smelled in his nose and took a few steps forward. "The pythons mostly hunt and eat here."
Feng Yi stood on this small piece of grass and looked sideways at the entire glass wall a few steps away.
“This is more like a display stand.” Wei Hongxi said.
"Um."
Feng Yi walked out of the giant breeding box and came to the other side of the glass wall, which was also the area where the owner of the house lived.
Under Wei Hongxi's puzzled gaze, Feng Yi lifted up the carpet on the ground and squatted close to the ground. There was not much residual smell, but it was enough.
“The carpet was newly laid not long ago and is not used before.”
Feng Yi got up, walked to the tables, chairs and sofas and stayed for a while. He picked up a sofa and chair, placed it in front of the glass wall, and put it down.
“This is?” Wei Hongxi asked.
“From now on, I repeat what Feng Yao did.”
"good!"
Wei Hongxi was excited.
Then, he watched Feng Yi sit down facing the glass wall and stopped moving.
Wei Hongxi:???
“Then?” Wei Hongxi couldn’t help but ask.
“Then let’s watch the giant python eat.” Feng Yi pointed to the inside of the glass wall, “It’s the grassland like a display stand you mentioned, showing the hunting and eating process of the giant python.”
Seeing Wei Hongxi stunned, Feng Yi continued, "Feng Yao is sitting here, looking inside the breeding box, watching it strangle its prey and then swallow it. I didn't expect Feng Yao to have such a hobby. He is so addicted to watching the giant python eat that he can't extricate himself."
Wei Hongxi came to his senses and said, "It's not pretty when a giant python eats. Most people don't have the guts to see it."
Thinking that the swallowing speed of snakes is related to the size of food, Wei Hongxi recalled the information collected:
“The live food they feed is not too small. The eating process of giant pythons takes a long time. The pythons are more clumsy. After strangulating the prey, they have to spend more time looking for where the prey’s head is.”
Python eats from scratch.
There is a python over there in the zoo. It has a good temper and is very docile, but it is a bit silly. When it is eating, it can't find the head of its prey and cannot take its mouth. By the time it is looking for the head, other snakes have already finished eating. Choose a place.
I was in a daze.
The keeper will help it find the head of its prey if it has time.
And Feng Yao doesn’t seem like someone who would help.
Wei Hongxi wrote down in the memo that his contact person would ask them to choose a bigger one when feeding next time so that they would not have difficulty finding their heads when looking at "Big Niuniu".
Furthermore, he will make an analysis of Feng Yao's behavior, and he will get extra points for writing and submitting a report.
Wei Hongxi finished organizing his notes and looked at the landscape room and python breeding box in front of him.
"Why didn't Feng Yao choose a small snake? The risk of exposure to small snakes is lower and they are easier to handle. He likes to watch snakes eat, and small snakes are fine too. Like a batch of western hognose snakes we investigated a while ago, people who secretly raise them don't
few."
Feng Yi yawned, lay on the chair and said casually: "Maybe he thinks it's too stupid to look like a pig's nose drying up."
Wei Hongxi did not take it seriously.
He has written down all the problems Feng Yi found here today. Even if he cannot get the answer he wants from Feng Yao, he will conduct in-depth analysis. The report submitted to the above will be richer and the score will be higher.
It will also help you get promoted in the future.
Come in and ask Feng Yi to come here. The cost is higher than the market price, but it is worth it. What Feng Yi discovered could not be discovered by anyone else.
After the work was done, Feng Yi did not stay here any longer, and left with satisfaction after receiving the "expert consultation fee".
Before leaving, Wei Hongxi stopped Feng Yi and said, "By the way, I'll give you a message. Someone from the Joint Security Bureau may contact you recently. Pay attention to your phone and don't turn off your phone."
"What's up?"
“It’s not convenient for me to say, but it’s a good thing for you. It’s a good thing to gain both fame and fortune.”
