Chapter 141 The Way It Eats

"You should know the owner of this house."

Wei Hongxi handed over a photo frame. This was originally in the house, so it was not considered a leak of 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 shown to outsiders, and there was no trace of illegality or violation of regulations.

There are several people in the photo, all dressed like elite business people.

Feng Yi's eyes fell on the person on the right side of the middle of the photo, and he dug 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 tycoon in Yangcheng. His success was due to his family, and he was also very capable.

Feng Yao was five years older than Feng Yi, but at that time Feng Yi was a marginal figure, and his understanding of Feng Yao was limited to hearsay. Compared with the name "Feng Yao", Feng Yi heard more of "Feng Santu", which was the name many people called him privately.

How Feng Yao has fared over the years can be seen from the decoration of this house. And the renovation of the basement. It is not a small amount of money to build it like this.

If Feng Yao only relied on his family, he would not have been able to keep a python secretly without telling his family. The fact that he could keep it a secret for so many years also shows that he is capable.

I have never heard that Feng Yao likes to keep reptiles before. What Feng Yi did not expect was that Feng Yao dared to keep a python! He even built such a "luxurious" breeding space for the python!

Without obtaining the national key wild animal domestication and breeding, business and utilization permits, he purchased national protected animals...

How deep is the love for the giant python to dare to do such a thing?

Wei Hongxi and Feng Yi stood in front of the 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 renovated it and renovated it. The two underground floors were connected and merged into one floor, and he dug deeper. If he wanted to dig deeper, he had to submit an application to the property management to prevent digging up some important pipelines or causing other losses.

The Joint Insurance Bureau found the renovation application materials of that year. The design drawings said that a landscape room was to be built. After the property management saw it, they thought there was no danger and approved it.

It was not until the secret of this basement was discovered that everyone knew there was a giant "breeding box" here.

"I know some people like bonsai and some people like grass tanks, but this is the first time I have seen this." Wei Hongxi said.

When he saw this indoor jungle for the first time, Wei Hongxi was deeply shocked. It was like moving a corner of the jungle directly here.

"This place can accommodate a Tyrannosaurus Rex." Feng Yi said, "Is it because of money and willfulness to build this place like this? Or is it because of love?"

Some pet owners do spend a lot of money to build nests for their pets.

However, privately raising giant pythons violates regulations, and there is no way to wash it.

"Didn't you question him? What did Feng Yao say?" Feng Yi asked.

"He said 'because of love'." Wei Hongxi said.

"Do you believe it?"

"No."

"Is there any evidence?"

"No."

As he spoke, Wei Hongxi led Feng Yi to a small door on the side.

"You can go in here."

The door was electronically locked, but the colleagues from the Joint Security Bureau had already fixed the door lock. After opening the door, Wei Hongxi led Feng Yi to the giant "breeding box".

"The temperature, humidity and air pressure have been adjusted to the breeding mode. This place is suitable for giant pythons to live, but it may be a little uncomfortable for us."

As Wei Hongxi spoke, he looked at Feng Yi, and then found that Feng Yi's expression was a little strange. He didn't look nervous, nor did he dislike it. When he looked at those trees and vines, it seemed that he seemed to have a little bit of... yearning?

"What do you think?" Wei Hongxi asked.

Feng Yi didn't speak for a while.

Thoughts?

Does the feeling of wanting to roll on the ground count?

But then again, this place is still a bit narrow and it's hard to move around.

Feng Yi looked around with a critical eye.

The configuration is good, but the place is small.

Of course, it's impossible to tell the real psychological activities.

Feng Yi put on a serious look again and started to work.

The moist and warm air was mixed with various smells. Fresh, stale.

After the odor molecules were captured, they turned into blurred images.

Feng Yi could "see" some of the tracks where the giant python had moved.

On the branches, in the grass, behind the vines, by the pool...

There are also five feeding ports in this giant "feeding box" to facilitate the breeder to feed prey in.

"The smells left here now are mostly animals such as pigs and sheep." After a pause, Feng Yi added, "Live things."

Wei Hongxi nodded. They also learned this during the investigation.

The food fed to the giant python does not necessarily have to be in a live state, but now places such as breeding centers and zoos rarely feed live food.

And here, Mr. Feng has been feeding live animals.

"Feng Yao said it was picky when he took over, so he kept feeding live food." Wei Hongxi said.

They couldn't ask the "big girl" whether it was true or not, but it really had no interest in dead food now.

Even snakes of the same species may not have the same taste. So, even if Wei Hongxi thought Feng Yao was lying, he had 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 boxes and maintaining the scenery inside the boxes. The breeder is responsible for feeding. The caregivers and keepers all have a deep understanding of pythons, otherwise they would not be able to do their job.

However, there is no surveillance here, and every time Feng Yao comes here, the caregivers and breeders are not present, so they don't know what Feng Yao does here or whether he interacts with the giant python.

"that's it?"

Wei Hongxi was unwilling to give in.

"Are there any other...uncommon animals?"

Unusual animal? Feng Yi was stunned for a moment before reacting.

What Wei Hongxi meant was whether there had been 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 quietly aside, 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 giant python mostly hunts and eats 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 activity area of ​​the owner of the house.

Under Wei Hongxi's puzzled gaze, Feng Yi lifted up the carpet on the ground and squatted close to the ground. There's not a lot of residual smell, but it's enough.

"The carpet was newly laid not long ago, it's not the same one that was used before."

Feng Yi stood up, walked to the tables, chairs and sofas and stayed for a moment. He picked up a sofa and chair, placed it in front of the glass wall, and put it down.

"This is it?" Wei Hongxi asked.

"From now on, I will 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, "This is the grassland like a display stand you mentioned, showing the hunting and eating process of the giant python."

Seeing that Wei Hongxi was stunned, Feng Yi continued, "Feng Yao is sitting here, looking inside the breeding box, watching it strangle its prey and then devour it. I didn't expect that Feng Yao had such a hobby. He was so addicted to watching the giant python eating that he couldn't help 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 watch 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 more clumsy ones have to spend more time looking for where the prey's head is after strangling the prey."

Pythons eat 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 whenever it has time.

And Feng Yao didn'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 to see if "Big Niuniu" has difficulty finding her head.

Also, 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? Small snakes have lower exposure risks and 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, lying on the chair and said casually: "Maybe he thinks it's too stupid to look like a pig's nose drying up rice."

Wei Hongxi didn't 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 with future promotions.

Today, I asked 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 anymore, and left with satisfaction after receiving the "expert consultation fee".

Before leaving, Wei Hongxi called Feng Yi, "By the way, I'll give you a message. Someone from the Joint Security Bureau may contact you recently, someone from the domestic headquarters. Pay attention to the phone and don't turn it off."

"What's the matter?" Feng Yi asked.

"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."
