Chapter 394 Night Talk
Seeing his father-in-law’s rare serious expression, Yue Feng grinned and said, “I didn’t say I knew who the specific shooter was!

What I mean is, I know a little bit of information about going up the mountain to hunt tigers, and the possible inside story may be related to the incident of shooting secretly!

Although Mr. Qiao Sanye has been investigated by the authorities, he may not have explained everything to the officials who handled the case!”

Seeing Yue Feng grinning, seemingly unaware of the seriousness of the matter, Wang Jianguo shook his head solemnly: “This matter is a quagmire. Even if we know the inside story, we won’t try to earn this favor!

I’m not telling you this hoping to earn a favor by finding out some information.

I am reminding you to be more careful when you go up the mountain recently!”

Apart from using poison bait to delay the hunting dogs of Mr. Qiao Sanye from chasing the tiger, Yue Feng had never done anything wrong.

It had nothing to do with Yue Feng that Mr. Qiao San was shot, and he remained extremely calm.

“Okay, I understand what you mean!” Yue Feng nodded and didn’t continue to be pretentious about this issue.

“I heard you say just now that you have been in the mountains for the past few days, preparing to hunt the tiger that hurt people?” Wang Jianguo asked again.

“Well, I’ve been following them up the mountain every day for several days now, and I’m seeing some initial results. It’s not time to close the net yet!”

“Are you planning to do the job quietly and then keep this tiger from being exposed?” Wang Jianguo stared into Yue Feng’s eyes and asked without hesitation.

Yue Feng grinned: “Hehe!!!”

“I heard from Zhang Dayantong that the high-ranking official in Mr. Qiao’s family should be quite powerful in the provincial capital.

I suspect that in the next few days, people from the city will come down to check each hunter who enters the mountain!
If you are lucky, you may kill the tiger. Be careful about this!

There must be some explanation for the illegal shooting. The explanation can be catching the person who fired the gun or handing over the tiger.

Do you understand what I mean?”

Indeed, once the big shots at the top have spoken about demanding severe punishment, naturally the people below will take some measures.

It would be best if the murderer could be found. He should be sentenced and arrested, and the punishment should be swift and severe.

But what if the murderer can’t be found?
We can’t just leave the matter hanging like this. The incident started because of the tiger. Handing the tiger over is also an alternative explanation.

Originally, the approved hunting target for this tiger was because it injures people entering the village and destroys collective property. No matter who kills the tiger, if it is discovered by the investigators, it is legally correct to confiscate the tiger. The most serious thing is to pay a reward according to the reward announced by Kaoshantun.

Wang Jianguo’s reminder is very timely.

Yue Feng definitely wouldn’t want to work so hard for so long just to earn a little reward, otherwise he wouldn’t have put in so much effort.

“Okay! I got it!” Yue Feng nodded repeatedly in response, already having a plan in mind.

There are many places to go down the mountain in Fengcheng, behind the mountains of large and small villages. As long as Yue Feng is careful and makes targeted deployments in advance, it will not be easy to be discovered by outsiders.

“Let me make a deal first. If you really kill the tiger, you have to save some tiger bones for me to make wine!
Ever since these people found out you’re good at hunting, they’ve been bothering me a lot!

Last time, I couldn’t bear to drink much of the leopard bone wine you sent me. A few waves of people came to my house and acted like bandits!
I almost took it all away!” Wang Jianguo looked at Yue Feng with a gentle gaze, not shy at all at this moment.

“No problem! We still have some at home. I’ll get you some later!”

“We made some dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage and pork at home. Can we have some tonight?”

“Okay, let’s have a few drinks to relieve our fatigue!” Yue Feng agreed readily.

……

The father and son drank tea and chatted for a while. The water in the big pot in the kitchen outside the room boiled and steam was rising.

Soon two covers of dumplings were put into the pot.

After a few boils, white and plump dumplings floated up. Wang Xiaona scooped one up with a colander, blew on it, and then took a bite. The filling was cooked. She quickly called for a table and ate dumplings! !
When it comes to eating, Yue Feng, the son-in-law who has not yet married into the family, is treated quite well in his father-in-law’s house.

You don’t even need to move your butt, someone hands you chopsticks, peel garlic for you, and even the wine you drink with your father-in-law is poured by your brother-in-law Wang Mingyu. The family is happy and the atmosphere is quite good.

……

Yue Feng was enjoying himself eating dumplings and drinking wine at his father-in-law’s house, but on the other side, Qiao San’s side did not have such a good atmosphere.

Er Da’s thigh was pierced by a bullet. Although he was lucky that the thigh bone was not injured, the damage caused by a wound as big as a fist to a person is far beyond the common people’s cognition.

They carried him down the mountain and drove him to the city hospital. After emergency treatment, his condition was stabilized. The doctor in charge of treating his injuries said that after the bullet entered the human body, it affected the ligament on the outside of Erqiang’s thigh. Even if he can recover later, there is a high probability that he will have some sequelae.

I should be thankful that I could regain the normal function of my legs. As for going up the mountain to be a hunter again, I guess it would be difficult.

Qiao San’s house is usually packed with guests almost every day, but today it was noticeably duller.

In the central hall, there were only five people in total, including Mr. Qiao Sanye who sat in the main seat. These were Mr. Qiao Sanye’s closest brothers. None of his usual cronies were there.

“I have arranged everything for Erqiang. Let him stay in the hospital for now! Now let’s discuss this incident of a hidden gunman! Let’s talk about whatever ideas and opinions you have!” Mr. Qiao San took a sip of tea and spoke in a serious tone.

On the right was Lao Ji, who had gone up the mountain with him, frowning and saying, “After seeing Er Qiang off, I went back to Duantou Slope to take a look around.

The gunman who fired the shot from behind was shooting from the top of the cliff!

I also found the position to shoot, and built a shooting position with snow!
After firing the gun, they skied away, made a big circle from Duantoupo to the southwest, and finally went down the mountain along Chaiji Road at Sandaliang!

This man must be an old hand, he even took away the bullet casing, leaving no useful traces!”

Hearing this, a middle-aged man with a mustache frowned and asked, “Did you look for the footprints of the gunman before he opened fire?

Can you tell when he started to catch up?
Any sneak attack must be caused by a conflict of interest or hatred, otherwise a lone wolf would not attack our hunting team of four or five people!”

Lao Ji glanced at the man who asked the question and said, “Master Zou, I also went back and looked at the footprints ahead. This person should have followed us all the way up the mountain!
There are quite a few traces left on the shady slope, so they must be quite far away from us!”

The man called Master Zou by Lao Ji, whose full name is Zou Guangwen, plays the role of a master in Qiao Saner’s hunting team. He is very meticulous and intelligent.

After listening to this, Master Zou nodded and said, “In that case, this is a standard case of premeditated murder.

The gunman caught up with your hunting team early, and then found the right time to launch a sneak attack. After succeeding, he left calmly without leaving any useful evidence!”

“Damn it, this is most likely aimed at me! We were warming up lunch by the fire, and the lunch box happened to be tilted, so I reached out to fix it. Then the gun was fired, but it didn’t hit me, but hit Erqiang’s leg!

If I was lucky enough not to move, the bullet would have hit my upper body, and then I would have made a candied haws and killed Er Qiang!”

Mr. Qiao San, who was sitting in the first seat, no longer cared about his dignity and started cursing.

“Is it because you wanted to go up the mountain to hunt the tiger that you had bad intentions? You can’t just shoot someone for no reason!” Master Zou frowned and continued to ask.

“It’s hard to say, the day before yesterday, the blue wolf that Erqiang was leading had vomiting and diarrhea and was almost crippled!

I got shot again today! Although I, Qiao Saner, am not a very decent person, I don’t have any life-and-death grudges!
Most likely it’s all about competing for this tiger! Give us a shot out of the blue, take the risk, and get rid of it once and for all!!”

He did not think that Qiao Saner’s act of scattering dried meat to poison the dog was a bad thing at all. In his eyes, such a small bad thing was not worth mentioning.

He didn’t expect that Zhou Yuanchao, whose dog died, was a ruthless and vengeful man. He followed them secretly all the way and decided to take action after hearing their conversation. Qiao Saner still thought that the dirty things he did were done without anyone knowing.

At this moment, another short man in his forties who had been sitting in a chair without saying anything said, “Fuck! Let me tell you, it’s better to catch the wrong person than to let him go.

Let the city police send people to block all the entrances and exits to the mountain, arrest and interrogate all hunters passing by with guns, I don’t believe we can’t get the truth from this!!”

This man’s attire was a little different. He had a thin braid on the back of his head, and he was not wearing a fur coat or cotton padded jacket, but a brocade robe. He didn’t talk much, but when he opened his mouth, he was full of hostility.

His full name is unknown, nicknamed Shu Qi’er. He is not a member of the hunting team, but a sworn brother of Qiao San’er from earlier years. He has a group of people under him who hang out at train stations and docks and are ruthless and cruel.

Master Zou waved his hand and said, “Seventh Brother, don’t give me any bad ideas. The barreled gun uses 7.62mm bullets. There are a lot of hunters in Fengcheng. Can we catch them all?

Hunters who dare to go hunting in the mountains are naturally temperamental. If they provoke others, they will not care whether you are from the Public Security Bureau or the police station. Can they all be arrested and shot?”

“Then what do you think we should do?”

Master Zou: “Since there is no personal vendetta, it is probably just about profit!
Send more people to monitor the mountain roads leading in and out of the mountains, and pay more attention to the information about the tiger on the market.

If the tiger was killed and seen in the market, I guess I would be more suspicious than an ordinary hunter going into the mountains!
This can be used as a reference direction!”

After listening to this, Mr. Qiao nodded and turned his gaze to a square-faced man who had been sitting at the end of the table without saying anything: “Xiao Fei, what do you think of this?”

Wang Yufei shook his head and said in a Shandong accent: “I can’t understand the details here!
“Third Master, you can discuss this with Master. When we find a target, I will skin the person who fired the gun alive!”

Although this guy is a bit dull and not good at speaking, he is the top tough guy in Qiao Sanye’s hunting team. He once killed a blind bear weighing more than 300 kilograms with a broken knife.
