Chapter 101 The Fire Department presents a banner, codenamed Pangolin! (35)

You should know that this process is very dangerous. If the bag containing the snake is not tied tightly and it directly slips into the cab from the trunk, everyone will be in trouble.

Wang Zhibin looked at the transcript in the case file with a bitter smile on his face: "Because they think the snake fairy can only appear in the Northeast."

Su Ran: ...

"Okay, okay, okay. I now understand that these old guys really have too much pension to spend, and they are really stupid. Superstition is really killing them." Su Ran was a little helpless.

There are indeed many folk legends in Northeast China, but normal people would just feel awe at most when listening to them, and how could they be so obsessed as this?

"Captain Wang, these old men and women must be severely punished," Su Ran said, "If they are not properly educated, who knows what strange creatures they will release next time."

"Yes, we have already notified their children," Wang Zhibin said solemnly, "and this group of people is suspected of destroying the ecological balance, seriously endangering public safety and disrupting social order. The Municipal Bureau has emphasized that we must deal with it seriously!"

"That's good."

After Su Ran left, he immediately shared the results of the treatment of the old man and the old woman with netizens: "It is confidentiality related to the case, so I can't say the details. The authorities should issue an announcement at that time. But it will definitely be dealt with seriously."

Upon hearing this, netizens were greatly delighted.

"Well done, let the iron fist of justice crush them to death."

"Let's see if they can keep quiet in the future."

"Some people are either bad or stupid. This bunch of old Dengs are hopelessly stupid."

Su Ran was also quite satisfied with the result.

"It's not that I have to be rude to these old men and women, because there have been cases of people losing their lives when venomous snakes were released into the wild."

"In Shennongjia, several people released poisonous snakes, which resulted in a local villager being bitten and killed."

Fortunately, this time the functional departments discovered the problem in time, and Su Ran successfully solved it.

Otherwise, if these hundreds of king cobras were allowed to enter the forest and run near the villages, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"The Sugolin Sea is so big that even if they were scattered, the density wouldn't be that high. Besides, they can't adapt to the environment and will gradually die..."

Seeing the comments, Su Ran laughed: "You don't know much about snakes, especially poisonous snakes."

"Let me tell you, in the north, except for pit vipers and vipers, other types of venomous snakes are difficult to survive in the wild and even difficult to breed artificially."

"This is because venomous snakes simply cannot adapt to the unique environment and climate of the north!"

"Intolerance to cold and drought are minor problems. The most important thing is that we cannot solve the problem of snake food, because most venomous snakes have the habit of eating other snakes."

"There are fewer wild snakes in the north, which cannot satisfy the venomous snakes' hobby of eating snakes. So in order to meet their own environmental needs and food problems, they will run to villages where people live."

After hearing Su Ran say this, netizens felt terrified.

"Fortunately, Brother Su took action in time to resolve a potential major disaster!"

"Brother Su is a true hero. He has definitely saved many lives invisibly!"

Su Ran didn't think he had made much of a contribution; he just knew it was his duty.

After returning to the forestry station, the local firefighters actually came in person to present a banner to Su Ran and his team.

Song Yan changed into an orange fire suit and brought a few photographers with him, holding a banner in his hand.

I saw it written above:

[The snake tamer is like a fairy!]

——Presented by the County Fire Rescue Brigade. 】

Seeing this banner, not only the netizens burst out laughing, even Su Ran found it quite humorous.

"I think the snake tamer is real, but if it's like a fairy, the antonym should be a charlatan."

"Haha, only those without real abilities are called charlatans. It's okay to call someone like Brother Su a fairy."

"Captain Su, this is specially made for you by our fire brigade. If it weren't for your help, our fire station would really have a hard time dealing with so many snakes in the mountains, not to mention protecting the lives and property of the people."

Song Yan handed the banner to Su Ran.

Then he signaled the photographer to take a picture.

Su Ran waved towards Lao Zhou and Wang Yang and said, "You two should come over and take a photo together as a souvenir."

"Is this... okay?" Lao Zhou has worked at the site for more than ten years and is considered a veteran, but he is an honest and righteous person and does not steal Su Ran's limelight.

"Yes, we didn't contribute this time. It was all solved by you, Brother Su." Wang Yang also said.

"Just come if I tell you to. We are all together. Why should we be so clear about the divisions?" Su Ran urged.

Song Yan also smiled and said, "That's right, this silk banner is not only for Stationmaster Su, but also for our Qijiaqiao Forestry Station."

At this moment, Zheng Yuanpeng was also standing by and urging him with a smile.

So Lao Zhou and Wang Yang both stood beside Su Ran in disappointment.

Looking at the camera in front of him, Wang Yang was very excited.

He knew very well what this photo meant.

After the filming, it will definitely be widely publicized, and he will become a role model in the forestry system, which will be a highlight on his resume. When he takes the civil service exam, it will be much easier.

Lao Zhou doesn't want any establishment, as long as his salary and benefits can be increased, that would be perfect.

After taking the photos and saying a few words to Captain Song, Su Ran sent them away.

At the forestry station, Zheng Yuanpeng looked at the three people and said excitedly: "Xiaoran, you three have made a small contribution this time. Several leaders from the Forestry Bureau have praised you, especially Xiaoran."

"I think the future of you three is limitless."

Su Ran doesn't care about the future or anything like that. He just feels that he is quite satisfied the way he is now.

However, Lao Zhou and Wang Yang were very happy.

I feel like I've really followed the right person.

The three of them are now in the same group and will work together for a long time in the future. From now on, both Lao Zhou and Wang Yang admire Su Ran, the young webmaster, from the bottom of their hearts.

Today is Tuesday, so there is no need to patrol the mountain together like on Monday. The three of them each went to the area they were responsible for.

Su Ran felt more comfortable patrolling the mountains alone.

He told netizens in the live broadcast room: "In fact, patrolling the mountains is not as tiring as everyone thinks. Let's say we are standing, there are 16 of us in total."

"Each group consists of three people. Each group is responsible for patrolling the forest for one week in a month. The rest of the time, they just check on the forest. If there is nothing major, they can arrange their own work."

There was an immediate comment in the live broadcast room.

"That's fine. It's a comfortable job."

Su Ran led Da Hei down a hillside and said with a smile, "It's OK. The main thing is that we have to be on call all day to deal with emergencies, so we can't leave the forestry station too far. For some people who can't stand loneliness, living in the mountains may be boring."

Su Ran, who was about to move forward, suddenly stopped and said, "There are a lot of footprints here."

Su Ran squatted down and examined it carefully.

The mud here is very soft and the footprints are very deep, and they look like boots.

"Feels like a poacher." Su Ran murmured, stroking his chin.

"That can't be right, Brother Su. Aren't there many villagers in this forest who go up the mountain to pick mountain products?"

"Yes, and Su Shen, have you forgotten that you are also wearing forest boots? Maybe other rangers just walked past here."

Su Ran looked at the boots on his feet and smiled. Then he stood up and walked to the front not far away. He picked up a relatively clean cigarette butt from the weeds and said, "There's a complete ashes still hanging on it. It's obvious that he just threw it here after smoking half of it. He didn't even step on it to put it out."

"In recent years, the country has vigorously promoted forest fire prevention and control, and even put up some slogans that people who set fire to the mountains will be sentenced to life imprisonment. It is impossible that villagers would not consciously smoke in the mountains and throw cigarette butts around."

"As for our forest rangers, that's even more impossible. The only ones who can disregard the safety of the forest are the poachers."

Of course, this is just Su Ran’s speculation, but as long as there is a 0.1 percent possibility, it needs to be taken seriously.

He put away the cigarette butt, then reported to the station via the intercom, and asked Lao Zhou and Wang Yang to pay more attention to whether there were any suspicious people in the forest.

When he reached a bush, Su Ran walked towards a cave under a mountain.

"Believe it or not, a pangolin will come into this cave from outside in a moment."

Seeing Su Ran so confident, netizens were also very curious.

"I don't believe it. Brother Su, how do you know this must be the pangolin's hole?"

"Yeah, I'd like to know how you were so sure, Brother Su. I feel like this cave is very ordinary, nothing special. There are many caves like this in the mountains."

Su Ran said happily: "Haha, if you really don't believe it then I can't do anything about it. Besides, when have I ever lied to anyone?"

With Dahei, Su Ran walked to the foot of the mountain and pointed the camera at the cave. He pointed at the smooth marks inside the cave and said, "The hard scales on the pangolin's back rub against the surrounding soil, leaving these smooth polished marks. This is an important feature that distinguishes it from the caves of other species."

At this time, staff from the Provincial Institute of Animals and the Wildlife Conservation Center all hoped that Su Ran could help take some photos of the pangolins' habitats.

Deng Jiaying posted a comment: "Pangolins are mammals of the order Pholidota, feed mainly on termites and ants, and are known as forest guardians."

"However, due to illegal poaching and habitat destruction, its number has dropped sharply and it has been classified as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature."

"Especially in our Beilinhai, pangolins are even rarer. If you can, Su Ran, help us take some photos and videos, it will be of great help to our subsequent protection work and research."

"Don't worry, of course you can." Su Ran said, "I wanted to take a look at this little guy too."

Su Ran knew that this cave was the pangolin's home based on the smooth marks on the edges.

However, he used his own eyes to sense that there were indeed no pangolins in the cave.

But why did he know that the pangolin would come back later?
Because he also sensed that the pangolin was not far away.

Su Ran hid under a distant hillside, took off his sports camera and placed it on the ground. He only showed half of his head and held up the camera with one hand.

He also did not forget to make a gesture to Dahei to keep quiet.

Dahei was very smart. He wanted to tell Su Ran that he understood he couldn't make any sound, so he just nodded in response instead of howling.

Just when netizens were concentrating, a pangolin dragging branches to dig a hole actually appeared in the camera.
