Yue Feng forced himself to remain calm, then paused for a few seconds before slowly saying, “Okay, I know about this!”

Qin Xueming glanced at Yue Feng and said in a complicated and low voice: “You must find a way to avenge Lao San and bring the bad guys to justice!!”

Yue Feng stared at Qin Xueming’s eyes deeply and said, “It’s been so long since we caught the thief and the adulterer. With just a few words from you and no other evidence, we can’t convict anyone.

I can’t say for sure whether there will be any results! I will try my best, but I can’t guarantee you anything! ! ”

Qin Xueming naturally knew the reason behind this. It was hard to say how much of his sincerity was for his friend. To put it bluntly, it was probably more to free himself from the torment of conscience.

Although Yue Feng’s status in the village has risen in recent years, in the eyes of many middle-aged villagers and neighbors, he is still an unmarried young man. Qin’s sense of dependence and vigilance towards Yue Feng is not as strong as that of grassroots cadres like Wang Jianguo.

If Qin Xueming really wanted to avenge Liu Laosan, his first choice should be to find Wang Jianguo or go directly to the police station to find the uncle in the hat at that time to provide additional clues, rather than looking for Yue Feng, the captain of the farmers’ protection team.

“Okay! Now that I’ve told you about this, I don’t owe you anything anymore! It’s getting late, I have to go on night duty!”

Qin Xueming said hello and turned to walk towards the mountain path.

Only after Qin Xueming walked away did Yue Feng slowly let out a breath.

Nothing is trivial when it comes to human life. Yue Feng has no experience in this area. Even though he has a strong psychological quality from hunting wild animals, he still feels a little uncomfortable when facing the murder of a familiar person.

Zhou Yuanchao, it’s Zhou Yuanchao again! This grandson has him everywhere, he doesn’t want to live a good life! !
Yue Feng forced himself to take a few deep breaths to calm himself down, then he carried his gun and strolled over to the No. 7 tree nest.

Seeing Yue Feng coming, Xiao Tao, who had already climbed up the tree, asked, “Brother, does Brother Xue Ming want to talk to you about something?”

Yue Feng said casually: “Yeah, it’s a little thing! How are the corn kernels at the feeding point? Are there any signs of turning over and feeding?”

“I didn’t find any big traces, but there are fewer corn kernels. I guess they were pushed into the hole by mice!” Xiao Tao didn’t notice anything unusual about Yue Feng, so the topic was dropped.

For the rest of the night, the brothers Yue Feng and Xiao Tao took turns staying in the tree nest, lighting handmade mosquito coils.

Nothing happened that night. After killing several waves of wild boars, blind bears and other mountain animals during the previous period, the autumn harvest of crops in Xing’an Village was obviously much safer.

After daybreak, Yue Feng rode a motorcycle with Xiao Tao and strolled around all the tree holes, then went down the mountain and returned home.

The whole night, Yue Feng was in a daze thinking about Zhou Yuanchao and Liu Laosan going into the mountains to hunt bears.

Judging from various signs, Zhou Yuanchao is highly suspected, but apart from Qin Xueming’s confession, there is no valuable evidence.

When we looked for Uncle Hat, he came down the mountain and visited the village, but no one had ever seen Liu Laosan and Zhou Yuanchao go out together.

In this era, there is no high-tech means such as Sky Eye, and the methods of solving cases are extremely primitive. Now that so much time has passed, it is absolutely impossible to sentence Zhou Yuanchao based on just one piece of additional information from Qin Xueming.

Yue Feng couldn’t discuss this matter with his hunting team mates, so this matter was always on his mind and he didn’t tell Xiao Tao who was keeping watch with him.

When he returned home, Yue Feng did not choose to eat and sleep at home. Instead, he packed some supplies from home and rode his motorcycle to the farm on the mountain.

The relationship between Uncle Zhao and Yue Feng now is more like family than relatives. Although they have not made it clear that they have formally become master and apprentice, they are actually already practicing the etiquette and friendship between master and apprentice.

There is no point in asking your friends in the hunting team about this kind of thing. You can only get a better answer by consulting a senior expert like Uncle Zhao.

The motorcycle drove to the farm and just stopped outside the gate when I heard the cheerful barking of dogs coming from a few hundred meters northwest.

Yue Feng turned his head and saw that Uncle Zhao was carrying a two-year-old wild boar weighing over 100 kilograms on his shoulders, with several dogs following in front and behind, walking towards the breeding farm with brisk steps.

“Uncle! Are you out hunting so early in the morning?” Yue Feng immediately got off the motorcycle, took out the key and went to open the gate of the farm.

The gate was pushed aside, and Uncle Zhao came up with the prey on his shoulder. The old man said with a ruddy face and full of energy without even breathing, “Haha, this piglet is unlucky today. This morning, I took the dog and Coal Ball for a stroll in the woods and encountered a small group of only three pigs. Canglong and the others held down one of them!!”

“Meigu is also involved?” Yue Feng looked at the bear cub following Uncle Zhao and asked curiously.

Uncle Zhao didn’t put down the pig on his shoulder, and walked in while saying, “Meiqiu is timid and hasn’t spoken yet!

But it had eaten raw wild boar meat before, so when it knew that the dog and I were chasing the boar, it followed us too!! It lacked courage, it was just bluffing!!
Why are you here so early in the morning?

Yue Feng turned around and pointed at the things still in the motorcycle bag and said, “We shot a few roe deer yesterday and sent one up, along with some bird entrails, food and other supplies!!
Oh, there is one more thing I want to hear your opinion on!”

“What’s the matter? Wait for me to wash my hands and then I’ll discuss it with you!!” “Okay!”

Soon, the old man carried the wild boar to the storage room next door and hung it directly on the beam. Then he used a ladle to scoop some clean water to wash the blood off his hands. Then he went into the house, poured two cups of water from the thermos and sat down.

“What’s the matter? Tell me!”

“It’s like this. Last week in the village… Yesterday evening I…”

Yue Feng told the old man the whole story, even the new information provided by Qin Xueming.

After listening to Yue Feng’s words, Uncle Zhao frowned slightly and pondered for a few seconds before saying: “This Zhou Yuanchao is very dangerous, his hands are black and his heart is even more black!
If you have nothing to do, try not to provoke this kind of person!”

“I don’t want to provoke him, but it’s too late now! A few days ago, because of the village’s farmer protection issue, he disagreed with my father-in-law and I got angry with him!

That night, someone threw poisonous meat into the new house. Fortunately, the dog doesn’t eat raw human food, so no disaster happened!
If this matter is brought to the attention of the authorities now, the matter will most likely be left unresolved. It will be very difficult to get rid of this scourge in the village!

But this guy doesn’t get along with us very well!”

Yue Feng told Uncle Zhao all his concerns in detail.

After hearing the twists and turns, Uncle Zhao pondered for at least five seconds without saying anything.

After he took a sip of tea, he looked up and said, “It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain! This Zhou Yuanchao is a typical villain!
If you want to go to the police, it would be fine if he was arrested and executed. But if there is insufficient evidence, you will have to sleep with your eyes open every moment from now on!”

“You are right. What should we do?” Yue Feng asked humbly.

“The place you said we found the bear’s body last week is called Erguniang Spring, right? After I finish cleaning up the cage, we’ll take Canglong and go there for a visit!” Uncle Zhao gave a preliminary reply.

“Okay, I’ll give you a hand, so we can work faster!”

“it is good!”

……

Soon, Yue Feng and Uncle Zhao got busy, cleaning the cages, feeding food, and conducting routine inspections. After finishing all the chores, Yue Feng rode a motorcycle with Uncle Zhao and dragged Canglong, and the two of them and the hunting dog headed straight to Erguniang Spring.

When they arrived at the location of the blind bear’s body at Erguniang Spring again, Yue Feng and Uncle Zhao could smell a pungent stench from a distance.

The dead male bear has become highly decomposed after being exposed to the sun for more than a week. Many scavenging animals have also destroyed parts of its fur, resulting in the appearance of a large number of debris, maggots, etc. within a few meters around the corpse.

Even though Yue Feng had prepared himself mentally before coming, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

In comparison, Uncle Zhao was much more steady. He picked a few unknown green leaves at some point, rubbed them with his hands to extract the juice, and then smeared it on the philtrum under his nose.

In an instant, most of the stench that the nose smelled was eliminated.

Uncle Zhao did not mind the smell of the highly decomposed bear corpse. Instead, he walked around the area within a hundred meters with his hands behind his back, stopping and starting, making a long circle.

Yue Feng didn’t know what the old man was thinking, so he could only hold Canglong’s hand and follow him obediently.

While strolling, Uncle Zhao would occasionally ask small, seemingly unimportant questions, such as whether the body had been moved, whether there were any bullet shells on the ground, and other details.

Yue Feng basically answered every question he asked, and after being “permeated” by the stench for more than an hour, Uncle Zhao looked left and right, took off his shoes without hesitation, and stepped barefoot into the mountain stream that was less than half a meter deep.

“Just follow us with the dog! I’m not sure if my guess is correct, so let’s just give it a try!” The old man muttered, then took big strides and swam upstream in the stream.

The old man didn’t say what this was for, and Yue Feng didn’t ask in detail. He knew he would definitely tell him when he finished his work, so there was no rush to ask now.

Just like that, the two men and the dog went upstream along the mountain stream until they came to the water bubble upstream of Erguniang Spring. When the water level became too deep to walk in the water anymore, the old man took a look around and returned to the shore from the north side.

When his feet stepped on the soft mud on the shore, he did not rush to move, but stood there and looked around with his head down.

There was no trace left. The old man scratched his head, turned around and went back into the water, and went ashore from the south side.

This time, the old man made a discovery and waved at Yue Feng. (End of this chapter)
