I am a super cop

Chapter 843 Business Routine [Seeking Monthly Ticket]

Seeing that Monk Xingyun was coming, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but smiled and said, "Master, what did you just say?"

"Lu Weiwei." Seeing that Lu Weiwei deserted just now, but now he couldn't understand, Police Officer Wang hurriedly motioned her to stand aside.

Gu Chen took a step forward and said: "In your practice, the main purpose of not killing and releasing lives is to cultivate compassion and express a kind of respect for life. It is for human beings to review themselves and pursue equality, nature and harmony. high moral conduct."

"And the release of life you mentioned has indeed existed in ancient times. Even in modern times, this kind of benevolent act of protecting endangered lives and returning them to nature is still very popular among the people."

"That's right, what the police benefactor said is right." Seeing Gu Chen discussing life release with himself, Monk Xingyun stepped forward and came to Gu Chen with a relieved expression on his face:

"The benefactor knows that according to the statistics of the Guangdong Provincial Life-Freeing Association, in Yangcheng alone, there are no less than 30 non-governmental life-release groups, and large and small life-release activities take place in various mountains, forests and waters of Yangcheng every day."

"The two female benefactors just released these snakes to the suburbs to prevent them from being hunted and killed. Why should the benefactors be angry because of this kind deed?"

"But……"

Lu Weiwei just wanted to refute a few words, but Monk Xingyun said "Amitabha", and instantly turned Lu Weiwei back.

Gu Chen said with a smile: "The data that Master Xingyun said is indeed accurate, yes, what you said happens every day."

"But I can also tell you that England's "The Economist" has analyzed the growing 'radiation fever' in our country."

"It is said that the number of fish, snakes, turtles, birds, and even ants released in our country every year... is about 2 million."

"So much?" Lu Weiwei was dumbfounded when she heard Gu Chen's words: "2 million? What kind of concept is this?"

Gu Chen glanced at Lu Weiwei behind him, feeling a little fussy, so he said to Monk Xingyun, "Actually, there was nothing wrong with releasing animals, but now many activities of releasing animals have become a lucrative business."

"In fact, although most of the life releasers have good intentions, there are indeed many life release operations that have evolved into a kind of 'commercial behavior', and even life protection has become killing."

Turning his head to look at the two old ladies, Gu Chen said again: "Take these two old ladies as an example. The intention of releasing animals in the central park of Dongshan Township early this morning was good."

"But after the snakes were released, they bit people, and the snakes were caught in large numbers, so the final destination of the released snakes may be death, so protecting life becomes killing."

"That's right." Hearing Gu Chen's words, Yuan Shasha couldn't help but follow suit: "Living life is originally a kind act, but now many behaviors of releasing life are becoming more and more sour."

Monk Xingyun smiled and said: "The benefactor is too serious. If there is something hurtful, it is just the unintentional fault of the two old benefactors. Please don't punish them. If there is any loss, I think the two old benefactors , and should be willing to bear it.”

Monk Xingyun obviously felt that he couldn't argue with Gu Chen.

Especially the matter of the two old ladies letting a snake bite a passerby, that is to say, Po Tian also needs to take responsibility.

Therefore, Monk Xingyun avoids the important and ignores the trivial, and speaks a few words for the two old ladies.

Gu Chen didn't have to hold on to it, but just reminded: "This matter must be held accountable. After all, many residents of Dongshan Town were bitten by snakes, and the town is still organizing manpower to arrest these scattered people. Snakes in Central Park."

"Ah? Are you going to be arrested again?" The old lady named Qiuxiang suddenly felt bad when she heard this: "This one was just released this morning, but you arrested it this afternoon, this...isn't it too much? "

"What? Don't take her away and wait to bite someone?" Lu Weiwei was also blunt, feeling that the old lady was still not convinced.

Another old lady with short hair also hesitated, and then asked Gu Chen: "What kind of work do comrade policemen need us to do? After all, biting people is something we don't want to see. If possible, I will pay for the medical expenses."

"It's good to have your words." Seeing that the old lady did it unintentionally, she didn't deliberately release snakes to bite people, Gu Chen gave a compromise solution and said:

"In this way, you tell me the number and types of snakes you released, and I have to count them and report them to Dongshan Town."

"What's more, you must bear the medical expenses of all those who are bitten. In addition, you must apologize in person and promise not to release animals in densely populated areas again. Can this be done?"

Hearing Gu Chen's words, the short-haired old lady and the old lady named Qiuxiang looked at each other, and they leaned together for a brief moment of discussion before they both nodded.

"Okay, just follow the police comrade's request. The snakes we released in the morning are all green snakes and small flower snakes. The species are not very clear, but they are not poisonous."

After looking up and thinking for a few seconds, the short-haired old lady said again: "The number is about 200, and that's the specifics."

After Gu Chen recorded it, he asked again: "Then tomorrow..."

"Go, of course I'm going to Dongshan Town, and I will compensate those injured and be responsible for their medical expenses." Old lady Qiuxiang said.

Gu Chen is basically satisfied with the results of this flexible treatment.

Thinking that when everyone was waiting in the restaurant, they found that two old ladies had moved the sacks out of the elderly car, and guessed what was inside, so Gu Chen hurriedly asked again:

"By the way, what exactly is that bag you brought back tonight?"

"Wh...something you brought back at night?" The short-haired old lady was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Oh, they are some turtles, and they are also used to release animals."

"Turtle?" Gu Chen was also thoughtful when he heard the words: "Then you spend so much money to release animals every day, how much money does it cost?"

"It doesn't matter, good deeds." The old lady named Qiuxiang also explained with a happy face: "Because the next time the release activity organized by Master Xingyun, we happened to be unable to participate that day."

"So just thinking about this period of time, if I go to the market to buy some release animals, it can be regarded as an indirect participation."

"The release of life organized by Master Xingyun?" Gu Chen was stunned, and couldn't help turning his gaze to Monk Xingyun.

Monk Xingyun coughed and coughed twice, and then he said in embarrassment: "Our temple regularly holds large-scale life-release activities, which are usually organized by our temple. The two benefactors have something to do that day, so organizing the life-release activities by themselves is also worthy of encouragement .”

"Thank you Master."

Seeing Monk Xingyun encouraging them, the two immediately put their hands together and bowed to thank Monk Xingyun.

Seeing that the police were present, Monk Xingyun seemed unwilling to say anything more, so he could only warn the two of them: "Since the police asked you to apologize to the injured, then you go."

"Yes." Both of them nodded in agreement.

Monk Xingyun said again: "However, I still want to remind you that the release activities must follow the organizational regulations of our monastery, and you should not act on your own. After all, release animals at the designated release location, so that there will be no embarrassing incidents like yours today."

"Therefore, we must act in a unified way in everything, and don't add chaos and trouble to the police and local residents."

"Yes, yes, what Master Xingyun said is very true. It is our fault. We will never act without authorization next time. We will definitely change."

The short-haired old lady was also very embarrassed, and repeatedly bowed and apologized to Monk Xingyun.

"Amitabha." Monk Xingyun returned the salute with one hand, "I think this is the way it is. It's because they are all for good, and it was unintentional. Please don't pursue it too much."

"Don't worry, we know what's going on," Gu Chen said.

"That's good." After getting Gu Chen's response, Monk Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's nothing, I'll go back first."

"I'll see you off." Seeing this, the old lady named Qiuxiang hurriedly turned around to see off Monk Xingyun.

The short-haired old lady continued to ask Gu Chen, "Then comrade policeman, we are going to Dongshan Town tomorrow, is there anything else we need to do?"

"Write down your two names, ID number, phone number, home address, etc., so that we can contact the police." Gu Chen said.

"Okay, no problem." The short-haired old lady took Gu Chen's notebook without saying a word, and directly filled in the personal information of herself and the old lady Qiuxiang according to the request of Chen Chen.

Lu Weiwei leaned aside and observed carefully.

Watching the old lady fill out the information, she couldn't help saying: "Liu Qiuxiang? Wang Xiuqin? It's a nice name."

"Really?" The old lady named Wang Xiuqin turned her head and said involuntarily, "Little girl, you are also quite beautiful. Nowadays, there are not many policemen who are as beautiful as you."

"Hee hee, aunt, you can really talk." Lu Weiwei couldn't help but feel flattered when she saw Wang Xiuqin kept praising herself.

After Wang Xiuqin filled in all the information and handed it to Gu Chen, Gu Chen continued to ask her: "Aunt Wang, where is the bag of turtles that you mentioned earlier that are going to be released? Can you take me to see it?"

"Of course it's okay. Come with me, and I'll take you there." Wang Xiuqin didn't mean to reject, and directly led Gu Chen's team to the rear.

Everyone followed to the kitchen...

At this moment, a large blue bucket was already filled with many turtles.

Police officer Wang was curious, grabbed it and held it in his hand, looking around.

After a while, Police Officer Wang asked with a puzzled look: "So it's still popular to release turtles now?"

"Of course it's popular. Not only turtles, but also many kinds of creatures can be released."

Wang Xiuqin took the tortoise from Officer Wang's hand, and also preached: "There is no need to repeat the importance of this tortoise in our Chinese culture. Releasing life is a merit, and tortoises have a long life span. Releasing this kind of creature is good for us. .”

"But you shouldn't be a local tortoise, right?" Gu Chen couldn't help asking when he saw the tortoise's strange appearance.

Wang Xiuqin said with a smile: "It seems that the little police officer is still good at the goods. Of course, this is not a local tortoise. The local tortoise is too expensive to sell, and the economic conditions are a bit unbearable, so I bought this is a foreign tortoise."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiuqin did not forget to give everyone some science: "Look, there are red spots on both sides of this head, it looks so beautiful, it is easy to raise, and the price is also cheap. It is a star creature in our release circle."

"But you are a Brazilian turtle, right?" Gu Chen frowned suddenly.

Wang Xiuqin stared blankly, and said weakly: "Yes... yes, it is the Brazilian tortoise."

"Oh my God!" Gu Chen sighed and shook his head involuntarily.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei asked Gu Chen curiously: "What's the matter, Junior Brother Gu? What's wrong with the Brazilian tortoise? This kind of tortoise seems quite beautiful."

"Yeah, I think it's pretty too." Yuan Shasha followed suit.

Gu Chen shook his head and said: "It's not a question of whether it's beautiful or not, but that this Brazilian tortoise is, in fact, a kind of 'ecological killer' recognized by the world. Listed as one of over 100 most destructive species."

"Ecological killer?" Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lu Weiwei and Yuan Shasha were taken aback at the same time.

At first, the two thought that the Brazilian tortoise was good-looking, but they never thought that this kind of creature is actually an ecological killer?
Wang Xiuqin was also stunned, and asked Gu Chen weakly: "Comrade policeman, this...how did this become an ecological killer?"

"Harmful!" Gu Chen was also very helpless, and could only explain to everyone: "Conservative estimates, there are already tens of millions of wild Brazilian tortoises in our country, and this number even exceeds its hometown on the other side of the ocean."

"This kind of creature has begun to erode ecological resources on a large scale through your so-called release."

"And being squeezed out by them, the natives in many waters, that is, our tortoises, have nowhere to live and have become endangered species."

"So that's the case? Then isn't this an invasion of alien species?" Police Officer Wang said.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "Just like our Asian carp invaded North America, the flood has caused serious damage to the local ecology."

"Hehe." Hearing Gu Chen's remarks, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but smile and said: "It's a pity that Laomei doesn't eat carp. It seems that only creatures like crayfish are the most failed examples of alien species invasion."

"I just know how to eat." Police Officer Wang glanced at Lu Weiwei, and said angrily, "Why is it that you, Lu Weiwei, can't survive a spicy barbecue?"

"Haha." Yuan Shasha leaned aside and giggled.

However, Gu Chen didn't have such a good mood, and said directly: "You turtles should be dealt with together, and don't just let them go in the wild, so as not to damage the local ecology."

"Oh." Wang Xiuqin quickly nodded and agreed after hearing the words: "Then I know, then next time, let's bring these turtles to the release site organized by Master Xingyun and release them. The release pool over there is quite big. , should not damage the ecology.”

It's okay if Wang Xiuqin doesn't say it, but it arouses Gu Chen's vigilance.

Gu Chen hurriedly asked again: "By the way, Master Xingyun was present just now, so I don't want to ask too much, what do you mean by the activity of releasing animals?"

"It's just... the life release activities organized by the temple." Wang Xiuqin also saw Gu Chen making a fuss, so she hurriedly said: "The temple often holds life release activities, which are all in charge of Master Xingyun, and I don't know what happened. Recently, this kind of activity There are more and more."

"Then where did you get so many creatures to release?" Lu Weiwei also felt very curious.

The main reason is that this activity is still organized, so there must be a lot of animals released.

But if you want to find such a large number of creatures, you must buy them in the market?
Wang Xiuqin said with a smile: "Actually, we don't need to worry about releasing animals. Generally, the materials for this kind of release are bought by the temple organizers at the farmer's market. We, the releasers, donate money to the temple to release the animals."

"According to the meaning of the temple, the more animals donated and the more expensive the price, the higher the merit."

"Is there such a saying? Why haven't I met him in Jiangnan City before?"

Gu Chen had also seen a video of the release of animals shot by someone in Moments before, but he didn't know the details.

But hearing what Wang Xiuqin said today, Gu Chen felt that it was not like releasing animals, but like a business.

Wang Xiuqin also saw Gu Chen's puzzled expression, so she said again: "There is nothing to make a fuss about. In fact, releasing animals was not very popular in our place before. It was only after Master Xingyun came that we started to organize this kind of activities."

"Especially in recent years, many release operations have begun to change, and the operations are also carried out on a large scale and in an organized manner."

After a pause, Wang Xiuqin continued: "For example, every Saturday morning, we will have hundreds of believers gather at the reservoir in the back mountain of the temple to release animals. We call it the release pool, and there will be special personnel on duty at this place. "

"On the day of release, there will be hundreds of us, each with a pot of loach. As long as Master Xingyun recites scriptures, we will line up and pour it into the reservoir."

"In just 2 hours each time, almost a thousand loaches will be poured into the reservoir."

"And just in time for the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, Buddha and Bodhisattva's Christmas and other days, we will collectively release more creatures, and the scale will be even larger. Even the turtles in the release pools in our temples are already dead after being released in large numbers. 'Turtles are infested', so I can only go to a larger release pool to release the animals."

Gu Chen felt a little thoughtful and terrified when he heard it, it seemed that all these activities of releasing animals happened after Master Xingyun came.

But spending so much money every Saturday to let the temple release animals, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit of a business routine.

After all, Gu Chen's family is also in business, so such an industrial chain soon emerged in Gu Chen's mind:

"If someone turns the freeing of animals into a business, will there be some freeing people who, in order to fulfill their wish to release animals, will order the animals they need with the operator? And the operator will, according to the market demand, make an order with the operator. Where are the captors placing their orders?"

"If this is the case, then the trappers will definitely catch the animals according to the order, and then send the captured animals to the market, and then the operators will sell the animals to the releasers."

Thinking of this, Gu Chen couldn't help but take a deep breath: "Then, wouldn't this give birth to a release industry chain? Or even recycling?"

"Won't releasing life like this deviate from the original meaning of life release? It may even cause endless harm?"
