The Explorer police cruiser got on Route 7, headed south, off the main road, toward the Flathead River.
When approaching the farm, the road was very narrow, and the dirt road followed the terrain, winding up and down, with very tall weeds on both sides, a bit like reeds. It can be seen that this is a road shoveled with a sickle or a lawnmower.
The police car was driving on a small road, its roof submerged in weeds. The police car was like a beetle, crawling in a sea of blue and yellow blown by the wind.
Police car, Jones Medi drove, Wang Dengming was in the passenger seat.
Ahead, he could only see a short stretch of road. Wang Dengming suddenly felt a little bored, so he opened the car window a little. The strong wind blew the weeds, making a rustling sound. The nameless, prickly leaves scratched through the car window, and actually scratched his hand. Bleeding marks.
"How far is this journey?"
"It's not far, about a little more than a kilometer."
Wang Dengming said, holding the pistol in his hand.
"Chief, you're too nervous. It's safe here."
"Am I nervous?"
"I feel depressed, but I'm not nervous. Why did I shoot?"
"I don't know, just drive."
The police car came out of this small road, and the front suddenly opened up. First there was a sparse jungle, mainly white pine. After the white pine, there was a green grassland. The grassland area is very large. It should be sixty or seventy hectares. There are hundreds of cows in the grassland. He gnawed on the grass leisurely.
Wang Dengming put the gun back into his waist.
"My dear, I think you should relax your tension. This is not good for you. It makes people easily anxious. It is impossible for the gang members to come here to cause trouble for us."
"Anxious, definitely not, but according to what we say, it is called caution before sailing a thousand-year ship. I don't want us to be shot in the dark, and I don't want you to be hurt."
Jones Medi looked at him sideways and blew him an emotional kiss.
The police car drove through the green grass and came to a cherry tree. This was the farmer's home. It was a three-story wooden building with clay tiles and wattle on the roof. It looked impressive. Parked at the door were two agricultural vehicles, a large harvester, and a seeder. Not far away, there were horse and cattle pens built with aluminum skin and steel frames, and a wooden shed where debris was accumulated.
"This is such a good place. Look, the water in that creek is so clear."
The stream Jones Medi mentioned is to the south of the wooden building, where a large area of soybeans is planted.
As soon as the police car stopped, Locke, the owner of the farm, came to greet him.
"Hello, Police Officer Wang."
Jones Medi reminded: "Mr. Locke, Constable Wang, has been promoted, you should call him Sheriff."
"Oh, that's right. Mr. Sheriff, please come in. I've cooked a pot of dessert and am waiting for the Sheriff to come."
Locke is a kind-faced old man with a full head of white hair and a good spirit. In addition to him, there are also his wife, his two sons, and his daughter-in-law living here. When Wang Dengming comes, Locke's family members all go to work. alive.
"Thank you, Mr. Locke, let's hurry up. I'm sorry that we didn't come last time because of a small problem. This time, we will help you catch the thief. Let's go and take a look at the cattle pen."
"Okay, okay, I'll take you there."
The cow pen was cleaned very clean and was as tidy as when Wang Dengming came last time.
At this time, the cattle pen was empty, and the cows were grazing on the grass.
Wang Dengming brought all available survey equipment, took pictures, measured, analyzed footprints, and traces, not letting go of any clues, and asked in detail about the time when the cows were taken away, etc.
But the progress was not great. There were two unfamiliar footprints at the scene. However, we needed to go back for analysis and comparison. Others were the same as last time, leaving no useful clues.
But this time, the wolf dog in Locke's house was poisoned to death.
They stayed at Locke's house for more than an hour and then left Locke's house. Locke always insisted that White, the farmer next door, did it. He was the only one in the neighborhood who had any problems with Locke. He said that White was jealous of him for being like this. It must be him who competes with him for water even though they have a good pasture.
Everything depends on evidence. Wang Dengming can only say that we will investigate.
"Boss, we didn't find any good evidence, just footprints. This is not an easy case to investigate. Should we go to White's house now?"
"Well, go ahead, Locke said. The direction where the cow footprints disappeared is towards White's house. We should go and take a look. Their dog was poisoned to death. This is very strange. Locke said that he didn't hear the dog barking at night. The sound, maybe that dog knows the guy who stole the cattle."
To go to White's house, you have to go back the same way. After walking out of the road in the middle of the weeds, go west and you will find the home of another farmer, White.
The police car entered this depressing road again, and Wang Dengming did not draw his gun this time.
Just when the police car was about halfway to the road, a fat rabbit suddenly jumped out of the roadside. Jones-Medy was frightened by the jumping rabbit and applied the emergency brake.
"Look, rabbit, rabbit!"
The rabbit seemed to be frightened, and rushed to the other side of the road.
Jones-Medy opened the car door, raised her gun and chased the rabbit. She wanted the rabbit meat.
"Oh Mom, you are such a foodie!"
He had no choice but to get out of the car, raise his gun, and chase the rabbit.
At this moment, the wind has stopped, and the surroundings are very quiet. At this moment, Jones Medi pricked up his ears and said to Wang Dengming: "There should be two over here, and there is another one. I heard a rustling sound."
"Really? Can you hit such dense grass?"
"Try it, see if our luck is good, let you see my shooting skills!"
Just when the two of them were excitedly going in to find rabbits, they suddenly heard a scream coming from the weeds. Wang Dengming threw Jones Medi to the ground. Almost at the same time, a clicking sound rang out, and a bullet Swishing over the head!
Damn it!
Wang Dengming fired in the direction of the gunshot!
Jones Medi was blinded on the spot and didn't know what was going on.
"What's the situation? What's the situation?"
"Don't move, stay down, stay down, don't move! Listen to the sound, listen to the sound! Quick!"
"There are footsteps, three people, just in that direction!"
Ten seconds later, Jones Medi pointed in a direction, which was the place where the bullet had just flown out. Wang Dengming gritted his teeth and was about to chase after him. Jones Medi held his arm tightly and refused to let him go. .
"Maybe it's an ambush, don't go."
Wang Dengming hesitated. It was obvious that someone wanted to kill them, but because of a rabbit, something happened.
Since there is an ambush on the right side of the road, is there one on the left? After being reminded by Jones Medi, Wang Dengming did not dare to act rashly, so he had to kneel on the ground and let Jones Medi listen to what was going on on both sides.
For about five or six minutes, Jones-Medy shook his head.
Wang Dengming signaled him to be silent. He touched in gently and came to the place where the gunshots were heard. He found a snake broken into two sections, about one meter long. This was an Arizona king snake. , colorful and non-venomous, however, the snake's mouth was stained with blood, as if it had just bitten something.
Just now, when the screams rang out, Wang Dengming spotted a figure jumping up. He also saw the gun in the figure's hand, a portable short assault rifle.
His first reaction was that he had been ambushed.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly and knocked Jones Medi down.
He carried the life-saving snake, got out of the weeds and bushes, and threw the two sections of the snake's body in front of Jones Medi: "This snake saved us. It bit one of the people. I don't know what it bit." Part, it’s a pity, this snake is not fatal, it is very gentle, go, get out of here!”
