The spicy tiger meat came out of the pot. Xiao Tao, who was the most impatient, was the first to pick up a piece of it with chopsticks to taste it after the dish was brought from the kitchen to the table.

He finished it in one bite, his face full of confusion.

“How does it taste?” Yue Feng asked curiously.

Xiao Tao pursed his lips, clicked his tongue and shook his head.

“Speak up, why are you pretending to be so profound? I’ll teach you a lesson!” Yue Feng curled his lips and gave Xiao Tao a look at the funny look.

“Apart from numbing and spicy, there is no other taste! This stuff, Uncle Chen and Uncle Zhao, is barely edible! The meat is too hard and can’t be chewed!” Xiao Tao said as he chewed with difficulty.

After hearing this, everyone picked up their chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and tasted it, and they all agreed with Xiao Tao’s evaluation.

After continued soaking in water and adding a large amount of cooking wine to remove the fishy smell, the fishy base taste of tiger meat is indeed no longer tasted, but the meat taste is also no longer tasted, leaving only the taste of seasonings and condiments such as salt, soy sauce, etc.

It is indeed chewy, the muscle fibers are very thick, and there are a lot of fascia and ligaments mixed in.

Not to mention Uncle Chen, even Yue Feng, who is young and has good teeth, has difficulty chewing.

“Is the heat too high? Mom! Is there any uncooked meat in the pot?” Yue Feng really didn’t feel anything about the tiger meat that had been processed with so much effort.

“Yes, but I just picked up a piece for Jingjing, and the little girl took a bite and stopped eating! I added a lot of cooking wine, but it still has a smell after cooking! Wait, I’ll get another plate and bring it to the table for you!”

Soon, a plate of boiled meat without pepper or other spices was served. To reduce the greasiness and taste, my mother also served a small bowl of garlic sauce.

Yue Feng and several people at the table each picked up a piece of meat and tasted it. After finishing the meal, they had different expressions.

The earthy smell, bloody smell, and meat quality are not comparable to the previous clear white meat. Even the meat from the cannon eggs tastes less than this.

If you smack your lips carefully, you can taste a faint sour taste on the tip of your tongue, which is definitely not delicious at all.

“Uncle, this thing really lives up to its reputation!” Yue Feng did not waste it. He swallowed the small piece of meat and said with a smile.

Uncle Zhao smiled and praised, “Jingjing’s mother’s cooking skills are already pretty good! This is good with spices!! Tiger meat, just a rarity! In terms of deliciousness, the plain white meat I made before is still the best!! Don’t just stand there, let’s pour the wine!”

“Come on, pour the wine! We’ve been busy for so many days! Today the dust has settled, let’s celebrate tonight!!”

……

Soon, the hunting team members, two old hunters, and Yue Lei, a group of old men, started to clink glasses and drink.

The big thing that has been hanging for so long has finally come to an end today. Everyone is very happy. The atmosphere at the table is very good and the atmosphere is at its highest point.

……

While the Yue Feng hunting team was drinking and celebrating at home, Xiao Tang, who was assigned by the Municipal Bureau to work at the entrance to the mountain today, got out of the car and returned to the unit dormitory shivering with cold.

It has been several days since Qiao Saner’s hunting team was attacked by a sniper. The higher-ups have issued an order, and these soldiers can only work overtime to investigate and screen according to their superiors’ requirements.

But in this day and age, without cameras, there is no useful evidence on the mountain, it is almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It was freezing cold, and being on duty at the mountain pass was not a job for humans. Four people took turns in shifts, and the car was soaked by the wind. At the end of the day, everyone was freezing cold.

After getting off the car, he walked through the office area and headed straight for the dormitory. When passing by the big wolfdog in the yard, Xiao Tang deliberately approached it.

Xiao Tang is responsible for the daily feeding of this dog. He is very human-like and everyone in the unit likes him very much. No matter if they have anything to do or not, they always play with the dog for a while. It has become a habit for them.

Normally, the old German Shepherd would wag its tail and bark a few times to say hello from a distance, but today, Xiao Tang was dozens of meters away and the dog didn’t make a sound at all.

“Hu Zi!! Hu Zi!!” Xiao Tang didn’t hear the dog barking, so he just shouted casually.

Hu Zi didn’t respond, so Xiao Tang immediately walked over and took a look.

The dog lay there with its tail tucked between its legs, shivering.

“Huzi, what’s wrong with you?”

When Xiao Tang saw that the dog was behaving abnormally, he immediately became nervous. The owner had developed feelings for the dog after raising it for a long time, and now there was obviously something wrong.

When I got closer, the dog was still trembling with fear, lying there in cowardice.

“Hey! Something strange has happened! Did he get punished for showing off during the day?” Xiao Tang looked at Gouzi from head to toe in surprise, but he couldn’t figure out the problem. After observing for a while and not finding the cause, he went into the dormitory with his arms around his daughter.

“Brother Wang, did Tiger in our yard get beaten up again during the day? I was so scared when I came back that I curled up and twitched, and even tucked my tail between my legs!” Xiao Tao casually mentioned this to a colleague who lived in the same dormitory. Xiao Wang shook his head: “No? The dog was fine when we had dinner in the evening, and I even brought him a few pieces of meat and bones!”

“That can’t be possible. Something must have happened. The dog is obviously not right! I entered the yard. Didn’t you hear the dog barking? This can’t be faked!”

“I’ll take a look!”

Soon Xiao Wang put on his coat and went to see the dog, but it turned out that the dog was fine and was as sensible and well-behaved as ever.

“Hey! Xiao Tang, you’ve learned bad things, you’re teasing me! I’ll go over, the dog is fine!”

“Hmm? No way, come on, let’s go there again together!”

After hearing this, Xiao Tang, who discovered something unusual, went out again with his colleagues.

As a result, the dog, which was quite cheerful at first, was so frightened that it lay on the ground and trembled in fear when Xiao Tang approached within a few dozen meters.

“What’s going on? I didn’t touch the dog.” Xiao Tang and his colleague Xiao Wang were both confused.

Wang Hongliang was a few years older than Xiao Tang after all. He walked around the dog cage a few times, scratched his head, studied it for a while, and asked, “What did you do during the day? This dog has nothing else to do, it’s just afraid of you!”

“I didn’t do anything! I just went to the back mountain road crossing with Captain Liu and the others to be on duty. I stayed there for the whole day and my dick is so cold!”

“No, there must be something wrong! Think about it! This dog must have smelled something on you!”

“Smell?” Xiao Tang tried hard to recall the whole day’s inspection work, eliminating things one by one, and soon thought of the meat loaded in the bed of the large truck at the forest farm.

“If that’s the case, the only thing I touched was the meat in the bed of the forestry truck. When I went up to check, I stepped on a little blood with the sole of my shoe!”

“Meat? What kind of meat? Hu Zi was scared to death after stepping on the blood. Could it be tiger meat?”

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. In an instant, Xiao Tang slapped his head, turned around and strode towards the police dog base compound on the other side of the dormitory.

We found a trainer and a police dog at the police dog compound to test it, and the dog also had a very obvious reaction to the smell on Xiao Tang.

Two police dogs were replaced in succession, and they were all in the same condition. Although they were not as frightened as Hu Zi, they still showed stress symptoms such as sneezing, subconscious alertness, and drooping tails.

While the superiors asked to investigate the incident of the illegal shooting, they also asked the team members to keep an eye on the tiger in the mountain. It was said that the two incidents were related, and this was also a direction to solve the case.

Now, through the dog’s reaction, a suspicious point can be inferred, and Xiao Tang reported it immediately.

There had been no progress for many days in a row, and Captain Qian, who was in charge of the case, was feeling very upset. After receiving the report of the suspicious point, he immediately got busy.

Regardless of whether the final murderer can be found or not, we should first find the Siberian tiger that has already been seriously investigated. If the case cannot be solved in the end, isn’t it at least a guarantee of hard work?

That evening, Captain Qian called the Red Star Forest Farm and inquired about the drivers’ attendance during the afternoon. After verifying the identity of the person involved, Master Sun, he immediately drove to Heyantun where Master Sun was.

It was already half past eight in the evening, and Master Sun was eating stewed musk deer meat with his friends at home, drinking heavily and looking dazed, when a car drove up to his doorstep and took him directly from his home to the criminal police team.

Master Sun, who had already drunk more than a pound of strong liquor, put on a thick cotton coat and went out of the house. When the wind blew, he was immediately drunk. He could still walk by himself when getting into the car, but he vomited a car full of sour and smelly stomach contents halfway through the journey.

When we arrived at the office, Master Sun had completely passed out. No matter how we called him, he couldn’t be woken up, and he vomited all over the floor of the house.

The meat truck was at the forest farm. It was already midnight, so it was inappropriate to go and verify it. Master Sun had drunk a lot of alcohol, and he didn’t respond no matter how we asked. It was impossible to verify more information.

As a result of this delay, Uncle Hat did not get any more information that night.

Uncle Hat’s side was temporarily stuck, but Guo Jianfeng from the forest ranger team got the news at the first time. After all, he was the person in charge of contacting the car, and he personally greeted the dispatcher.

Master Sun was hauling things for Yue Feng, but was invited to have tea by Uncle Hat in the evening. Guo Jianfeng, who realized the problem, immediately called Yue Feng’s father-in-law, Wang Jianguo.

After hearing the general situation on the phone, Wang Jianguo did not dare to delay and went to Yue Feng’s house immediately.

On this side, Yue Feng’s family had almost finished drinking, and Wang Jianguo knocked on the door and entered Yue Feng’s house.

“Uncle, why are you here so late? Come in quickly!” Yue Feng was a little drunk. After opening the door, he let his father-in-law in.

“Just now, Xiao Guo from the Red Star Forest Farm called me and said that Uncle Hat went to Master Sun’s house and took him away! You went to him to get something this afternoon, so this matter has something to do with you, right?” Wang Jianguo asked straight to the point.

When Yue Feng heard the words “the person was taken away”, the drunkenness in his mind immediately sobered up.

“Master Sun was taken away? When did it happen?” Yue Feng asked with a frown. (End of this chapter)
