Chapter 295 What Water Python?

After the two rangers reported the situation to the team, they looked at Liu Xiong again.

Liu Xiong looks much calmer now. So one of the rangers continued to ask him some questions.

They asked Liu Xiong's name and contacted his family.

Liu Xiong was still very cooperative with these questions, but his attention was still not focused, as if he was recalling something carefully, and he answered absent-mindedly:

"My name is Liu Xiong, my parents' phone number is..."

"I was tricked here tonight..."

Liu Xiong gave his name and the phone numbers of his parents and asked the ranger to help him contact them.

He coughed a few more times while talking. Liu Xiong choked on the water and was a little weak. Her throat felt uncomfortable and she could not speak smoothly.

It was a bit cold at night in the mountains. Even if she was wearing a blanket, Liu Xiong would still catch a cold when the evening breeze blew not long after she came out of the water.

But no matter how much the ranger tried to persuade him, Liu Xiong just didn't want to rest in the car, so he stayed on the shore of the lake. After talking too much, his emotions that had just calmed down began to get agitated again.

"Okay, okay, don't get in the car! How about you move to a position to block the wind... Don't move, don't move! Don't get excited!"

The ranger didn't insist anymore. They just need to stabilize this side now, and someone will come and take over later.

Liu Xiong's mobile phone fell into the lake. Even if he had it with him, he might not be able to use it.

After a ranger recorded the call, he dialed the number directly using his mobile phone.

When they asked Liu Xiong just now, they already knew Liu Xiong's identity.

This person is quite well-known in Rongcheng. He and their friends have visited Yue Mountain many times. They were impressed by the group of people driving luxury cars.

Because of this, both rangers felt nervous.

They are just newly added patrol personnel after this year's regional planning. In fact, they are not particularly familiar with this area. They have only been deployed for a few months and cannot take on much responsibility.

Now that I have encountered such an accident, it seems to be a bit involved, so I will definitely be more careful with my words and cannot casually respond to things beyond my ability.

Thinking about how to tell Liu Xiong's family, the ranger pressed the phone number.

A mansion somewhere in Rong City.

The Liu family had just returned home from an evening discussion.

Liu Xiong's father was relaxing on the sofa in the living room. When he learned that Liu Xiong hadn't come home yet, he casually said:

"Where are you wandering again!"

In the past, Liu Xiong often played late at night, sometimes coming back, sometimes simply staying out for the night, or getting into some trouble and running to the old man for shelter.

When I think about the young people mentioned in tonight’s discussion, I think about Feng Yi who stole the show at the auction, and then I look at my own family...

Tired!

"I could hear him bragging to people from afar in the auction today!"

"Drinking a cup of realgar wine will make you think you are immune to all poisons. I also heard people say that kid wants to catch venomous snakes. Is this because he can't wait to go to heaven?!"

"After all, it still needs to be dealt with!"

"He doesn't have a long memory if nothing happens!"

The Liu family and his wife were thinking about how to find something for Liu Xiong to occupy his temper.

Liu Xiong's father's cell phone rang.

After looking at the unfamiliar mobile phone number, Liu Xiong's father still answered the call.

"Hey...I just..."

When he heard that Liu Xiong's car had overturned into a lake in the wilds of Yueshan Mountain, Boss Liu's vision went dark and he almost fell off the sofa.

I heard someone say on the phone that he was fine, but his mental state seemed a little abnormal, maybe he was stimulated.

Liu Xiong's father calmed down and asked the ranger to give Liu Xiong the phone number to make sure.

Yueshan Lakeside.

Liu Xiong was immersed in his own thoughts when he saw the handed over mobile phone and came back to his senses.

"Hey dad... I'm alive! A little injury doesn't matter... I won't leave!!"

Upon hearing that his father wanted to send him to the hospital for examination, Liu Xiong became excited again:

"Dad, let me tell you, there is a big snake here! It was the one who saved me from falling into the lake tonight! Ahem..."

After coughing a few times due to discomfort in his throat, Liu Xiong began to tell his father how the big python threw him ashore. After that, he asked his father to bring more people over. He wanted to find the snake to save his life!

The two rangers present looked at each other, and one of them made a gesture.

After Liu Xiong finished talking to the other party, another ranger took the call, walked to the side, and explained to Liu Xiong's father in a low voice with some distance between him and Liu Xiong.

The Liu family used to be in the medicine business, and Liu Xiong's father also knew something about snakes, and knew that the climate in Yue Mountain was not suitable for pythons to survive.

The "big snake" Liu Xiong mentioned may have been a fantasy after drinking and being stimulated.

Like the ranger, Dad Liu also thought it was waterweed or something else.

No matter what, after confirming that Liu Xiong was fine, Liu's father calmed down and his mind became clear. He asked the ranger for more details and started arranging things.

The ranger looked at the man who was still clinging to the shore and continued in a low voice to Liu Xiong's father:

"Yes, he was on the shore when we came over. He didn't seem to be injured... We've called the police and contacted the medical staff. Oh, I saw their car and will be there soon..."

The night in the originally deserted Yueshan Mountain gradually became full of movement.

On the other side of Yue Mountain, the mountain still looks peaceful and beautiful.

The nearby communities are as quiet as the night.

Occasionally, a late-night car drives by slowly, and then it becomes quiet again.

Feng Yi has returned to the community.

I spent a lot of energy tonight, so I had a late night snack and went to sleep.

Feng Yi checked his cell phone for a while before going to bed.

Regarding the local news in Yongcheng, the hot topics are those related to the Dragon Boat Festival activities. In addition to official propaganda, there are marketing campaigns by various businesses and interest groups.

Of course, Feng Yi was also mentioned, but there were not enough pictures and video evidence, and Feng Yi himself did not say anything, so it did not cause much waves.

This charity auction did not invite too many media, and the news released was also reserved.

The marketing focus of this cultural and art festival is on the activities during the day. As for the auction at night, those who are willing to be in the spotlight will contact the media or accept interviews.

Photos and videos of the venue are only circulated in some private small circles, and are rarely posted directly on public platforms.

There are too many local bigwigs present, and it is easy to violate taboos if you are not careful. Even Liu Xiong and others who usually play recklessly know the limits.

Feng Yi glanced at the hot topics and flipped through them again. He did not see any news about Yueshan having any major events, and there was no discussion in the several joint guarantee bureaus or expert groups. Only then did he put his phone aside with satisfaction and went to sleep peacefully.

The next day, Feng Yi had just finished breakfast and was talking to Xiao Jia about the arrangements for returning to Yangcheng when he received a call.

Half an hour later, someone came to visit.

There were two people who came to visit, one was responsible for the management of resources in the Yueshan area, and the other was sent by Liu Xiong's father.

"Ask me to find a snake?!"

Feng Yi was surprised when he heard the purpose of the two people's visit.

"Yes, we want to ask you to go and see if there are any large snakes."

The two people who came to visit, one represented the local relevant department, and the other represented the Liu family.

Last night, many people came and went by the lake of Yueshan. A local expert in reptile research was also invited to the scene.

The expert meant that it was impossible for a giant python to live in the lake, and the environment did not meet their habitat requirements.

But Liu Xiong firmly believed that he had encountered a big snake, and he almost quarreled with the expert for this.

People from the local management department also believed that there could be no big pythons.

However, to be on the safe side, in case someone releases a python here maliciously, or throws a python here for some illegal activities, it is still necessary to be cautious.

After consulting local experts, the Liu family suggested asking Feng Yi to go and take a look.

After contacting Feng Yi, it was learned that Feng Yi happened to live near Yueshan Mountain, and the Liu family urgently sent someone to invite him.

"We also know that it is impossible for a python to exist in the climate here, but considering some unexpected situations, we would like to ask you to go and take a look. I heard that you are very sensitive to the smell of snakes, and no one can match you in searching for snakes!" said the person on the other side.

"Thank you."

Feng Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look."

It just so happened that he also wanted to go to the scene to take a look.

After Feng Yi agreed, the person sent by the Liu family was happy and immediately reported to the boss, thinking: After this expert goes to confirm, Liu Xiong will always give up, right? !

Liu Xiong has not left yet. He looks like he will fight anyone who tries to pull him away. He stared at the lake in the middle of the night and scanned it with a flashlight. He didn't miss any area until dawn, when Liu threw him into the car to sleep for a while.

Feng Yi didn't pack much. He called Xiao Jia and drove to the lake on the other side of Yueshan with the two visitors.

When they arrived, Feng Yi saw Liu Xiong.

Liu Xiong had changed his clothes and his hair was messy. He might have just woken up. He was sitting there drinking a bowl of porridge.

I don't know if the porridge was too hard to drink or if he was really distracted. He drank a few sips and chatted with the people next to him.

The person next to him: "Xiaoxiong, we really didn't find the snake you mentioned! I personally led people to search around, and sent people to search twice, but we didn't see any crawling traces on the ground nearby that matched the target you mentioned!"

Liu Xiong: "Of course we can't see it! It's in the water! In the water! Maybe it's a water python!"

The person next to him: "You mean, the anaconda?"

Liu Xiong: "Yes!"

The person next to him: "But the anaconda can't appear here. The temperature and environment are not suitable. Let's calm down and analyze rationally."

Liu Xiong's face was firm: "I I still feel like I'm coiled by a snake!"

A new ranger who came here heard this and said casually:

"The probability of a large python appearing in this place is close to zero. If there is such a big python, we would have discovered it long ago. Even if we don't patrol some areas frequently, if there is a python and it grows so big, we can't have found no trace at all!"

But Liu Xiong didn't listen and insisted three times:

"It's a water python!"

"It is!"

"I can't make a mistake!"

He touched his leg nervously, looking like he was savoring it.

Others: "..."

Feeling his eyes were irritated.

Liu Xiong put the bowl aside and raised his hand to compare:

"At least, it's this thick!"

"Did you touch it with your own hands?" someone asked.

Liu Xiong looked sad and regretful: "No! I was exhausted at the time!"

Others all thought "This guy is really unconscious."

As for Liu Xiong's constant claim of "being thrown ashore", it may be the result of the survival instinct at the time, the result of self-rescue, and the consciousness also produced hallucinations.

The shore is all grass, and the various traces are not obvious, but if there is really a giant python, there must be other crawling marks. The python in the water also needs to find food! There are not enough fish in the lake to eat!

But the fact is, there are no crawling marks!

There is no shed snake skin either!

"So you were not awake at the time."

"Yes... No! I just lost my ability to move, but I was still conscious!"

Liu Xiong knew that these people did not believe what he said.

The marks on his body were unclear and could not be confirmed.

It seemed that there were some traces of entanglement, but it could also be some plants in the water or garbage thrown by some tourists.

Because he had just encountered an accident, there were quite a few marks caused by collision on Liu Xiong's body, and they were more obvious.

Feng Yi did not go to where Liu Xiong was. He looked at the lakeshore from a distance and then walked along the lake.

The lake was being salvaged, and some people were searching for suspicious targets underwater.

In addition to salvaging, Feng Yi learned from the people here that the Liu family had spent a lot of money to maintain the ecological environment of the lake and the surrounding area to minimize the environmental damage caused by this accident.

Far away, a cordon was drawn at the location of the driveway, and there were investigators active.

Liu Xiong was deceived and almost kidnapped, and his own people went to investigate. Feng Yi believed that with the abilities of Liu Xiong's parents, there would be results soon.

Feng Yi retracted his gaze and continued to walk along the lake.

He passed by the place where he went up and down the lake last night and looked around.

No one paid attention to this place.

Then he looked around.

The smell information left in the environment can tell Feng Yi a lot of things that have happened.

From these smell molecules, Feng Yi seemed to see groups of people searching from here and then walking away.

Feng Yi pointed to a more obvious footprint and said, "From last night to now, many people have passed by here. Are they all looking for water pythons?"

The resource manager looked helpless, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I don't think it's a water python. In fact, this kind of thing has happened before. Last year, someone sneaked here to swim and got his feet entangled. He said there was a water ghost. It turned out to be a net bag. I don't know who threw it. I applied to install surveillance here before, but it was not approved! I hope it will be approved this time."

The man from the Liu family came over, "Expert Feng, do you believe there is a water python in this lake?"

Feng Yi: "I don't believe it."

What kind of water python?

What water python?

No way!
