As soon as day broke, Officer Li brought people over to collect evidence.

Whether it was the cotton-padded jacket on the wall or the footprints on the ground, they were all collected and photographed.

He was caught red-handed, and there was so much evidence, enough to sentence him.

Compared with the calmness of the police, the people in Jinshan Bay were very excited.

"From last year to this year, two people in Jinshan Bay were bitten to death by poisonous snakes." One of the villagers whispered.

"Yes, it was Song Lao Er last year, but he died at the dock. There was also a laborer at the seafood city who was bitten by a poisonous snake in Taoyuan. Last night, another person was bitten by a poisonous snake in Taoyuan, and I heard that he was poisoned to death!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Xiao Han often takes people to work in the peach orchard, but he hasn't seen any poisonous snakes!"

"Yes, I did some weeding a while ago for 20 yuan. I pulled out all the grass inside and outside the house, and I didn't see any poisonous snakes."

"There are no poisonous snakes. How did the man surnamed Cao die last year and the man last night?"

"Go back and tell your children not to play in the peach orchard! If they get bit by a poisonous snake, they'll die!"

"Yes, yes, yes. There is no place in the village where my naughty boy doesn't go. He often goes to the peach garden to play hide-and-seek!"

"It's the same with my family. Ever since we ate peaches from the peach orchard last year, we've been looking forward to them being ripe! I'll have to tell her not to go in next time."

……

Yang Zhigang also heard about it. He didn't even have time to eat breakfast and came over quickly. "Xiao Rui, are you all okay?"

Han Xiaorui nodded lightly, "Uncle Yang, don't worry! We are fine! The four robbers were discovered by Heizi and Dahuang when they were about to climb over the wall!"

"We were awakened by the barking of the dog and called the police! Officer Li and his men arrived very quickly and arrested the four men together with Heizi and Dahuang."

Yang Zhigang nodded when he heard this. "That's good! I just heard that someone was poisoned to death by a venomous snake. Is this true?"

Han Xiaorui nodded. "When Officer Li came just now, I asked him, and he said the same thing!"

Yang Zhigang patted his forehead and said, "When the peach trees were in bloom, I took Pingping, An'an, and Wenjun to the peach orchard to enjoy the flowers!"

"Fortunately, we were lucky and didn't encounter any poisonous snakes. If I had been bitten by one, wouldn't I have been so anxious?"

Han Xiaorui knew what was going on. Short-tailed vipers usually hide in very secluded places and will never come out to attack people.

The reason for attacking people this time was mainly to deter those who wanted to rob his house from giving up the idea.

Han Xiaorui nodded, "Then don't go there too often in the future, you might run into a snake!"

Yang Zhigang blinked his eyes and said, "No, we have a child at home and you are pregnant. If a poisonous snake crawls along the wall into the house, it will be very dangerous."

"I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some realgar and sprinkle it around the courtyard wall to prevent those poisonous snakes from crawling in."

"This..." Han Xiaorui smiled, "There's no need to go through so much trouble, right? The house has been built for so many years, and I haven't seen any snakes in the house."

Yang Zhigang was firm in his attitude. “Just because we didn’t see it before doesn’t mean we won’t see it in the future! Now that we’ve discovered the danger, we should nip it in the bud.”

Seeing Yang Zhigang's firm attitude, Han Xiaorui couldn't continue to refuse, "Then I'll trouble you, Uncle Yang!"

"Leave it to me, I'll do it!" Yang Zhigang said with a smile, "Where's Ye Feng? Isn't he at home?"

Han Xiaorui replied: "He had something to do yesterday and it took him very late to finish it. I was worried about the dark, so I asked him to go to my home in the city to rest. I didn't expect that he would be robbed last night, but fortunately he was discovered early and no major accident happened."

Yang Zhigang thought about it and was filled with emotion, "It must be because we caught too many fish and sold them for a lot of money, which made people jealous."

"Yes, Uncle Yang." Han Xiaorui replied, "But, as the saying goes, we can't stop making money just because others are jealous. No matter who comes, they can't get any benefits from me."

Yang Zhigang was worried. "I need to talk to Officer Li about this. Fortunately, they promised to build a police station nearby so that the police can respond quickly. If they find out in advance, they can call the police immediately. Even if the phone line is cut, the police station can hear them if they shout from upstairs."

Han Xiaorui smiled, "That's what I thought at the beginning. Our family is full of women and children, and the police station is built nearby, so we feel safe. In fact, it is true. Yesterday, Officer Li led the police to the scene quickly. Those thieves haven't even climbed over the wall yet!"

"That's great!" Yang Zhigang was relieved. "I'll get a walkie-talkie and put it at home. If the phone doesn't work, I can use the walkie-talkie or the loud speaker."

"No need for an intercom. Just use a stick to hit the steel basin hard. The police station will be able to hear it." Han Xiaorui said with a smile, "Don't worry about us."

"The steel basin doesn't have a gong, I'll go order a big one. You should take the kids to eat." Yang Zhigang turned to leave, but suddenly remembered something and stopped, "Xiao Rui, the oarfish meat is not tasty, it's woody and sour. Zhang Guangnan didn't want it, so I temporarily put it in the freezer at the dock."

Han Xiaorui scratched her forehead. "If it doesn't taste good and can't be sold, then grind it up and use it as feed."

Hearing this, Yang Zhigang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Oarfish can't be eaten, but it looks special and has hard bones. A school called me and said they wanted to make a specimen of it for teaching purposes."

"Then donate it. It won't make much money anyway." Han Xiaorui is not a stingy person. She has always strongly supported marine teaching or research.

Yang Zhigang was stunned. He originally wanted to sell it for money. "Okay, then donate it to the university! They want to study earthquake fish and the causes of earthquakes. Maybe they can get inspiration from it and find a good way to prevent earthquakes.

Han Xiaorui nodded. "It would be best if we could research it, but this one is dead. If it was alive, it might be more meaningful to study."

"How can it be so easy to catch a live oarfish? Even if you catch one, you can't keep it alive," Yang Zhigang replied. "If we have the technology in the future, we can install some trackers on the oarfish and collect a lot of useful information. But with current technology, it's a bit difficult."

Han Xiaorui gave Yang Zhigang a thumbs up, "Uncle Yang, your idea is very novel. It may not be realized now, but it may be realized in the future. Uncle Yang, breakfast is ready. Please stay and have breakfast with us."

Ping Ping and An An ran over and pulled Grandpa's arm, "Grandpa, let's eat."

Yang Zhigang liked his granddaughter being close to him, so he didn't refuse immediately. "Okay, Grandpa will eat here. Thank you Pingping and An'an."

Pingping and Anan gave their favorite food to grandpa, which made Yang Zhigang so moved that his nose was sore.
