When Feng Yi called the Yangcheng Branch of the Joint Security Bureau, Wei Hongxi happened to be free and took over the matter.
When Wei Hongxi arrived at the collection hall, he saw a young man lying on the table crying.
The man was extremely emotional, crying and howling: "I was wrong! I was really wrong. I shouldn't have picked it back that night five years ago! If I didn't pick it back, I wouldn't have been traumatized!"
Wei Hongxi looked at Feng Yi and asked with his eyes: What's going on?
Feng Yi spread his hands: It has nothing to do with me.
Without interrupting A Bin's emotional venting, Feng Yi stood up and walked aside, briefly telling Wei Hongxi the information he had just heard.
Wei Hongxi just raised his eyebrows slightly. He has investigated many incidents, so he is not surprised by this.
After letting A Bin continue to vent for a while, Wei Hongxi looked around. He knew that this was Feng Yi's private collection. To buy this place and build it like this would not be for profit in the future, so a lot of money would have to be spent.
But thinking about the news I heard in the past two days, if Feng Yi is a shareholder of the Ancestral Factory, the money invested is really not much to Feng Yi.
The shareholders of the Ancestral Factory...
How enviable.
But now is not the time to chat with Feng Yi.
Wei Hongxi walked over to the table, sat down, knocked on the table, and showed his ID when A Bin looked over with tears in his eyes.
"Investigator Wei Hongxi of the Yangcheng Branch of the Joint Security Bureau, I am now responsible for your matter."
When he heard "investigator from the Joint Security Bureau", Abin's complicated and complicated sad emotions were frightened away, and he hurriedly wiped his tears and nose with a tissue.
Feng Yi asked someone to hand over two glasses of water.
A Bin calmed down and told Wei Hongxi what he had told Feng Yi again. Because most of them had really happened and his emotions were not fake, he was mentally prepared and did not
There is a situation where the words before and after do not match.
Wei Hongxi took notes and said, "We need to go to your residence, where this lizard is raised, to take a look."
A Bin nodded: "Okay."
He had followed Feng Yi here to explain things, so as not to be noticed by other residents in the community, and to confirm the status of his pet lizard.
Now that the matter has been settled, there won't be any big disturbance if we take them to the residence.
However, before leaving, Abin asked with some concern: "Tyrannosaurus, do you want to take it away together now?"
Wei Hongxi said: "We will have people take it back to the bureau first."
Wei Hongxi came here with two auxiliary staff and asked them to catch the lizards.
But the capture was not smooth.
This lizard has a bad temper and will get into an attack stance before anyone gets close.
It propped up its body, and the flaps on its neck and throat spread out like a fan and shook. This was a demonstration.
When someone approaches, its mouth opens slightly and it looks like it is smiling, but in fact it may be about to attack.
One of the staff members was almost bitten, but fortunately he had experience and responded quickly.
A Bin said: "Tyrannosaurus has a very fierce temperament and is more violent than other individuals of the same kind. It is difficult for me to catch it without wearing gloves or using tools."
The two clerks were about to get the tools when Feng Yi patted them and motioned them to step back.
The two people didn't say much and decisively gave up the space. In terms of professionalism, experts like Feng Yi should have stronger skills.
Under the gaze of several people, Feng Yi walked over, ignoring the lizard's protest, and slapped it on the head with a moderate slap, as if casually.
The mouth of "Tyrannosaurus" that was open just now was closed.
The throat fan that was vibrating just now is no longer vibrating.
So well-behaved that it seems fake.
"Where's the cage?" Feng Yi asked.
"Here it is!" the clerk responded and brought the cage over.
Feng Yi grabbed the lizard with one hand and put it into the cage.
This one
Although the lizard is said to be 1.5 meters long, in fact, the slender tail accounts for most of the length, so the whole body is not heavy, only a dozen kilograms. If this lizard had no ability to move, anyone present would
Anyone can lift it with one hand.
However, the whole process of Feng Yi controlling it is not something that others can do. It is also very difficult... In other words, no one can imitate it until now!
A Bin, who had been standing not far away and looking at this side, looked dull.
With a shocked look on his face:
"Just...what happened? Why didn't it move? Where's its temper?! Is it really just me?! It can actually be tamed?!"
Next to him, Wei Hongxi looked quite calm: "There is also a possibility that it only behaves obediently when facing certain special people. It has nothing to do with whether it is tame or untamed."
I have seen Feng Yi catch snakes many times, and I am used to the way Feng Yi catches snakes with the same style as hemp rope. Now when I see Feng Yi catch this hot-tempered lizard like a toy, I just think "Ah, it really is like that"
idea.
A Bin was comforted: "It's really not my problem alone?" Wei Hongxi: "No. It's just the differences in the world."
A Bin looked at Feng Yi, and then recalled the treatment received by the staff of the Joint Security Bureau when they captured the "tyrannosaurus", and felt mentally balanced again.
really.
This is not my problem, this is the world!
As soon as he regained his composure, he saw the clerk walking out carrying the cage, and Abin's eyes followed.
He asked: "What will you do with it after you take it away? I heard that if the number is too large and cannot be sent to the habitat, it will be humanely destroyed?"
Wei Hongxi: "This requires detailed analysis of the specific situation."
A Bin didn't believe in "specific analysis", he asked: "Can I send it to the zoo?"
Wei Hongxi said: "If there is a zoo willing to accept it, of course it can."
A Bin immediately took out his cell phone: "Please give me some time. I'll contact the zoo now, soon! I'll pay for them to help raise it myself!"
This kind of exotic lizard is different from the common pets in people's lives, and it is impossible for private individuals to take over it. Everyone is afraid of being reported and fined.
If the relationship was not deep, or if you were ruthless, you might have been cooked long ago.
They couldn't be released into the wild, and they couldn't bear to be killed, so they could only be sent to places like zoos.
Wei Hongxi asked: "Have you never thought of sending it to the zoo before?"
A Bin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I tried it before, but the people over there didn't answer."
Zoos now dare not accept pets whose origins are unknown, or who have been voluntarily sent there without going through the formal procedures to obtain a certificate. They are afraid of being targeted by the Federal Bureau of Protection.
A Bin had never made up his mind before, and this time it happened that his pet escaped due to negligence. Now that he has confessed, he can go through the process directly.
A Bin tried to get the contact information of a person in charge at the zoo. The person in charge might be busy at this time and it was not convenient to call. A Bin sent a message there, but at the same time he also paid attention to Wei Hongxi's movements.
When A Bin contacted the zoo, Wei Hongxi looked at the surrounding buildings and layout and said to Feng Yi: "Your place is almost completed, when will it open? Oh no, this is your private collection, is it open to the public?"
Feng Yi said: "It may be open to the public for two days at intervals, but not frequently."
Abin had just replied to a message from the zoo, and when he heard their conversation, he noticed his surroundings.
"here it is?"
Feng Yi: "My private collection."
A Bin was surprised: "Collection? What is the collection?"
Feng Yi: "Some animals I caught."
A Bin's expression changed slightly as he thought of Feng Yi's status as an expert of the UN Security Bureau and the news about Feng Yi he had read online.
He asked: "In addition to snakes, are there also crocodiles?"
"Yes." Feng Yi said.
"Lizards also count? You just caught the Tyrannosaurus, does it count?"
Feng Yi looked at the lizard.
This guy who brought it to your doorstep can also have a collection place.
"Forget it," Feng Yi said.
A Bin was about to say something, but he held back and asked: "By collection, do you mean specimens?"
Feng Yi said: "It's just a scale model."
"Oh! Then you can make a proportional model of the "Tyrannosaurus"! I know you may have caught this kind of lizard when you caught pythons in Florida, but the "Tyrannosaurus" is different! It
From childhood to adulthood, I have photos and videos, high-definition shots from all angles! There are also detailed data records! The model will definitely be more realistic if it is made according to this! It is very different every year, and the color will still change during the breeding season.
Changes have occurred! You can do a few more! "
Feng Yi: "...You don't need that much."
A Bin: "What about larvae, sub-adults, and adults?"
Feng Yi still didn't respond.
A Bin: "Then just larvae and adults? The larval stage is different from the adult stage. The adult stage looks more majestic and domineering, and it is very recognizable when made in equal proportions. But the larval stage can be made to make everyone familiar with it.
appearance, so as not to be confused with other lizards, such as our local iguana, which is too easy to be accidentally injured..."
Having said this, A Bin suddenly stopped talking.
Feng Yi and Wei Hongxi looked over.
Wei Hongxi: "Long iguana?"
A Bin: "..."
Wei Hongxi's sharp eyes approached: "Have you ever caught an iguana?"
Abin swallowed: "I have seen it in the wild, but I swear I have never raised it! I know that iguanas are in the second grade of the country, so I would definitely not dare to raise them!"
He didn't lie, he just didn't tell the whole story. He caught an iguana by mistake, but he never raised one!
Without going to see Wei Hongxi, Abin opened the photo album on his mobile phone and continued to follow Feng Yi's suggestions:
"Well, this is what it looked like when it was a child. You must think it is easy to identify, but people who don't understand can easily mistake it. Compared with iguanas, one is an invasive species and the other is a protected animal. This kind of protection against the public
Popularizing science is still very meaningful, right?”
Wei Hongxi did not follow his words and just said: "You also know that this is an alien species with the threat of invasion!"
A Bin sincerely accepted the criticism: "I have deeply realized my mistake!"
Before Abin and the people from the Security Bureau left, he told Feng Yi that he would copy the photos and videos of the "Tyrannosaurus" to a mobile hard drive and send them over when the time comes.
Looking at that posture, Feng Yi was really worried that Abin would send at least hundreds of G's, or even several T's, photos and videos.
"You don't need so many, just pick some." Feng Yi said.
"okay!"
A Bin thought to himself that if he didn't need too many video photos, he would definitely choose those with "Tyrannosaurus" characteristics, such as the color lines on the body, domineering posture, fierce eyes, etc.
To other people, these creatures look similar, but as a pet owner, they can identify them from many details.
The model he hopes to keep in Feng Yi's private collection is the "Tyrannosaurus", not any other lizards found randomly on the Internet.
Why didn't he find someone to customize a full-scale model?
This is Abin's own choice.
He can save photos, videos, and collect objects from the time he raised the "Tyrannosaurus", but he cannot accept placing highly realistic full-scale models at home.
He can't accept it himself, but he is willing to recommend it to others so that more people can see it.
"Oh yes," Tyrannosaurus, I will compensate for the damage caused to this place! Please accept my apology!" A Bin said to Feng Yi.
If a pet causes damage, of course the owner must compensate.
After A Bin and Wei Hongxi left, Feng Yi continued to look at his collection.
Having already seen the small garden, he walked into the exhibition hall of the collection hall.
It is still vacant inside, and the arrangement of storage spaces is in progress.
The models that have been completed are stored in a warehouse not far from here. They will be moved after the subsequent renovation and construction of the collection hall is completed.
come over.
The interior layout and the area where each collection is placed use simulated plant landscaping. In addition to the habitat simulation corresponding to each creature, there will also be some other decorations to set off the atmosphere.
The project manager attaches great importance to the infield layout. Although the landscaping work is outsourced to a professional team, he will also personally follow up and confirm.
At present, only some of the collection spaces in the museum have identified species. The museum has a large space and it is not full now, but more will be added in the future.
Currently, they only work according to the schedule they receive.
Because this collection is not for profit and is a private place, the location of the models and the order of the booths are all arranged according to the timeline of Feng Yi's encounter with these species, rather than based on rarity and appearance.
Therefore, in terms of sorting, their construction personnel do not need to spend any thought, they can just sort according to the list given by Party A.
He and his team knew most of these collection areas and display areas, but there was only one area where they still had doubts.
That is a special but very important display position. From the design drawing, this is position C of the exhibition area.
The entire collection hall is circular in shape, and its appearance is in the shape of an ouroboros, but at the "ouroboros" node of the snake, the space is larger.
This area is the beginning, the end, and the center.
If this special area can be designated and placed, it must be very important, even a model with core significance.
The information previously received by the project team showed that there would be a model with a height of more than two meters, but they did not know what it looked like.
They had previously speculated that if it was more than two meters long, it might be a snake or crocodile or many other animals. But if it was more than two meters tall, apart from the model of the Titan clam, could it be some other ancient creature?
"Now we are doing the infield layout, but we still have a question. Because we don't understand it, and we haven't received the landscaping design drawing for this collection space, it is currently vacant."
The project manager pointed to the core area: "What kind of species are displayed here?"
Feng Yi was silent for a moment and said, "You don't need to worry about this place."
