Looking at Feng Yi running over, he didn’t see a python on his body, nor a snake in his hand. Steve’s heart finally dropped, but it soon became suspended again. If he didn’t find anything serious, Feng Yi would
Yi would not call him that.
"What happened?"
"I'll send something over there."
"what?"
Steve followed Feng Yi to the tree.
"There's a package tied to it with a strap."
Steve looked up for a moment.
Although the branches and leaves block part of the view, you can still see the package if you look closely.
"Have you climbed up to take a look?" Steve asked.
Otherwise it would be impossible to clearly see a belt holding the package.
"I've seen it," Feng Yi replied.
"Is it an electronic instrument?"
"Probably not."
"Then don't worry about it. Just tell Professor Zhou later and let Professor Zhou inform the ranger."
Steve usually doesn't mind those nosy things. He has participated in many scientific expeditions and encountered some private treasure hoarding, but he doesn't have a strong curiosity about them.
You never know if there is any special meaning behind these private treasures.
Steve once encountered a father who deliberately hid something and then took his children to find it.
Of course, there are also some other events, some good and some bad, but he is only interested in scientific research and finding cute reptiles, and does not want to cause too much trouble that will interfere with his time.
Feng Yi didn't know how to deal with this kind of incident, so after hearing what Steve said, he decided to ignore it.
But since we have to inform the rangers and the police about this matter, of course we need to be more detailed.
Feng Yi told what he had discovered when he climbed into the tree.
"There should be some metal objects inside the package, and the belt is real snakeskin..."
“Real snakeskin?!”
Steve got angry when he heard this.
This is beyond his tolerance!
If it is indeed real snake skin, it is absolutely illegal to store it now!
The strictest protection laws after the abnormal climate period may vary slightly from country to country, but they are absolutely not allowed in China!
Steve immediately ran to tell Professor Zhou about this.
"Are you sure that's real snake skin?" Professor Zhou asked Feng Yi.
"I'm sure, I can still recognize the snake skin." Feng Yi replied.
Professor Zhou looked serious and nodded, "If it were real snake skin, this matter might involve a lot more."
Professor Zhou asked Feng Yi, "How did you find that thing on the tree?"
Feng Yi said: "There was a bird on the tree just now. It was very beautiful. I was going to take a picture of the bird, but I didn't expect to find something else on the tree."
Several people came under the tree, and Professor Zhou asked Teacher Lei to take pictures of the whole process.
Feng Yi climbed up the tree and took down the package.
In order to facilitate filming, Teacher Lei also put a portable camera on Feng Yi.
If there is really any involvement, they will have video evidence to prove that they have nothing to do with it.
Seeing Feng Yi steadily climbing up the tree, Steve couldn't help but said: "Don't you know that this guy is also very good at climbing trees! We have to go up trees to shoot in several places in the early part. We should let this guy do it at that time."
Do me a favor, kid!"
Teacher Lei also agreed: "Indeed, we still wasted talents in the first half of the journey."
Teacher Lei is in charge of filming. Although he has many skills, he is not superior in tree climbing and cannot compare with Feng Yi.
Therefore, during the inspection period, I encountered some arboreal snakes, and several times I gave up because it was inconvenient to photograph, or the angle was not good.
After Feng Yi climbed up the tree steadily, he untied the package from the tree.
The package is not big, but it is heavy to hold, so it is no wonder that it is tied with a belt.
Sturdy and easy to take off.
While Professor Zhou was wearing gloves, he opened the package and took a look.
It’s full of gold bars!
Steve raised his eyebrows.
Just look at this and you know it can’t possibly be a family interaction!
It is very likely that it will be involved in some major cases!
Of course, Professor Zhou also realized the seriousness of this, and immediately contacted the base to inform him of what happened here.
But when he was talking about it, he was talking about discovering this package while photographing arboreal snakes.
Steve also quickly understood that Professor Zhou was protecting Feng Yi.
It is unknown what is involved, and Professor Zhou is worried that Feng Yi will be resented and retaliated against.
There is also a unified voice within the team.
After seeing the photo sent by Professor Zhou, the base immediately called the police.
The location where the South 6 team was now was already on the edge of the nature reserve. Feng Yi took a nap. When he woke up, Professor Zhou told him that the person who took over the matter was here.
5 helicopters landed at suitable locations nearby.
There are two for the police, two for the base rescue team, and one for the United Nations Security Bureau.
After all, this involves a snakeskin belt, and the Joint Security Bureau is paying attention to this. The Joint Security Bureau has been following up on the scientific research activities in Nan Chong, so it received the news as soon as possible and came here.
However, the person who came from the Joint Security Bureau was not Captain Yuan, whom Feng Yi knew. Feng Yi didn't say a few words to them and walked aside in a daze.
Professor Zhou will handle the rest.
The leader and several persons in charge of the field expedition have already had experience in handling various emergencies. They know what to do to safeguard the interests of the team members.
Because of this kind of thing, the team needs to stay here temporarily.
Feng Yi: "..."
Heart: Ah————
Feng Yi watched the helicopters flying over his head every day. People from the police came here to investigate and collect clues. People from the base also came here to protect the team.
The people from the FBI were looking at the snake skins, and the people from the police were looking at the gold nuggets.
The package left clues, fingerprints and DNA were extracted, and compared with the database, the target was quickly identified.
Feng Yi rarely moved around during the two days he stayed, and basically just lay there. Other members of the team, such as Wang Wentao, were busy organizing records or starting to write papers, while Feng Yi slept beside him.
Steve told him about the progress of the case investigation.
"The package was left by a pair of brothers named Tian. But the gold nugget belonged to their grandfather.
"Their grandfather was involved in a gold theft case that happened more than thirty years ago. I don't know the specific details. I just know that the old man brought the gold nuggets back to his hometown. But before the old man could get rid of these things, the whole village moved, and the things disappeared.
I didn't dare to take it out, so I found a place to hide it secretly and made a hidden mark. In case I forgot, I also drew a picture in a notebook I brought with me.
"Their ancestors were local mountain people, and they used to live in the small village surrounded by plants that we passed.
"After their grandfather moved away from the village, he died in an accident not long ago. No one knew about these gold nuggets.
"Not long ago, these two people heard about the scientific expedition team on the Internet, and also learned that the Nanchong Scientific Research Base has been collecting information about the forests and species in the Nanchong Mountains and surrounding areas."
Feng Yi knew this.
The Nanchong Scientific Research Base is worried that one day the climate will change again and all the unknown endangered animals in the mountains will become extinct, so they try to collect as much information as possible, then formulate an inspection route and assign additional tasks to each team.
In terms of understanding of this mountain forest, the base is definitely not as good as the mountain people who once lived here.
For example, ancestral stories...
For example, where and what kind of mythical object is seen in which area, which pool has monsters, which cave has big snakes that eat people, etc. Those that are deified and exaggerated will provide some clues to the scientific expedition team to find out whether they are endangered animals.
Plant animals or new species to see if they need protection and rescue.
"Not long ago, the two brothers learned that a man from the same village had sold a piece of information that they thought was nonsense, and got 500 yuan, so they became interested.
"A story that has made my ears grow calloused since I was a child is nonsense to them now. It is worth selling it for 500 yuan. To put it simply, it is like selling junk.
"They just found their grandfather's notebook when they were looking through old things, and they thought the old man must be hiding something."
Steve was also amazed as he spoke.
"Their ancestors all lived in the mountains. Although the brothers themselves are not familiar with it, they can know more things from some of the image files left by their ancestors. For example, where are the shortcuts and hidden paths? These are things that others do not know.
of.
"The two successfully bypassed the rangers and surveillance cameras, sneaked into the former village, and dug out the gold bars according to the old man's drawings, but..."
Steve's tone changed, he was rather gloating.
"When the two of them were returning, the younger one was bitten by a poisonous snake. Although they brought some medicine, they couldn't delay it for too long. They might have to call for help. The older one hid the gold bars in a tree and took them with him.
Take the little one for treatment."
Steve spread his hands.
"You will know the next thing. Oh, speaking of the snakeskin belt, the two of them actually had one each. They were concerned about face and didn't have that much money, so they found a way to get help to buy two imitations that were difficult to detect.
"They have been proud of that belt for a long time, and no one has ever noticed it when wearing it.
Now, people from the Federal Security Bureau are waiting nearby."
…
In the hearts of the two brothers, they did not lose to anyone this time, they just lost to the snake.
If they hadn't been bitten by a snake, they wouldn't have hidden the package containing the gold bars in their hands and called for help.
If it weren't for the snake, the scientific expedition team wouldn't have discovered the package on the tree.
They were hidden so well, and the belt pattern and the color of the wrapping fabric were not conspicuous. How could they be discovered under normal circumstances?
They even thought about whether there really is a Nan Chong spirit snake?
Of course, no matter how hard they racked their brains, they would never have imagined that what they were exposed to would be a fake.
Soon, news related to this matter was reported.
It involves a major gold theft case many years ago. It has been so long that many people have forgotten or have never heard of it. When they saw this news, they searched for the gold theft case that year, and then combined the reported information, and
After analyzing (brainstorming) the logical lines that came out, I started to make comments and give the two brothers a few kicks.
This incident became somewhat legendary after word of mouth, and the self-media reaped another wave of traffic.
Related topics are on hot searches.
Cheng Si woke up today and saw news related to the South 6 team again: "..."
Under those news, many fans of Cheng Si circled him, saying that he had missed another big event.
Cheng Si could also tell from those news reports that everyone in the scientific expedition team didn't want to show up in such news, but...
I do!
Looking at the hot searches and push news discussions on various platforms, Cheng Si felt his heart bleed.
What a loss!
He covered his chest with trembling hands and his lips trembled.
"Why should I mess with that cobra!"
When Cheng Si's assistant entered the room, he saw Cheng Si covering his chest.
"Brother Cheng! Brother Cheng! How are you!"
When he heard Cheng Si whisper, the assistant comforted: "Brother Cheng, forget it, just be more open-minded."
Who would have expected that the scientific examination is almost over and there will be cross-circuit news?
After all, those who pay attention to the scientific research trends are in the minority. Today’s report has attracted more people to discuss it. Many people even say that there are definitely spiritual snakes in the Nan Chong Mountains!
Otherwise, why were those two people so unlucky that they fell on snakes at two critical moments?
Including Cheng Si's assistant also thinks so.
There must be spiritual snakes in the Nan Chong Mountains!
Even Cheng Si fell into trouble!
If Cheng Si hadn't provoked that cobra, he would be on the national stage now!
——
In order to cooperate with the investigation, the scientific expedition team was delayed for two days.
It is not convenient for Feng Yi to go find food alone these two days.
Feng Yi sat on the ground, staring blankly into the distance.
There was another helpless roar in my heart:
ah----------
But soon, good news came.
Professor Zhou received a weather warning and made a decision.
"The weather will not be suitable for field inspections in the next few days, and there is not much distance left. We will end the inspection mission early this time. We will leave directly on the rescue team's helicopter later."
Feng Yi:!!!
Visible excitement.
Quickly take out your mobile phone and place an order for ten boxes of beef jerky!
You can eat it when you get back!
Before packing his things and boarding the plane, Teacher Lei looked back at the mountains and forests and took another set of photos.
Surrounded by clouds and mist, broad-leaved plants obscure the creatures in the mountains. Only by walking into the mountains and forests can we deeply feel the vitality of all things in them.
"There are many secrets hidden in the mountains, most of which may never be known to anyone. Only the water, wood, earth and rocks in the mountains remember them, but they will not take the initiative to tell anyone."
Teacher Lei looked at Feng Yi: "So, will you also come to the mountains next year to explore the secrets?"
