The Rise of the Ranch King

Chapter 199 198. Scarland Manor Incident (Part )

After getting the address, Lin Feng drove the pickup truck and continued driving along Highway 191. Lin Feng observed the condition of the cow through the rearview mirror from time to time.

Soon, Lin Feng arrived at the Scarander Manor Ranch.

This ranch is not big, but the environment is clean and tidy. It can be seen that the owner is a hard-working person who loves life.

Rancher Arnold Scarlander had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Lin Feng's car approaching, he hurriedly greeted it.

"Mr. Lin, thank you so much!" Arnold Scarland held Lin Feng's hand excitedly. "Without you, I'm afraid I would never see this cow again."

Lin Feng smiled and said that it was just a little effort.

Arnold's sons and daughters came over to help the cow out of the back box. Among them was a beautiful girl who looked to be in her early twenties. She was young and beautiful, and she worked without any qualms.

Arnold invited him inside for tea.

Lin Feng wanted to refuse, but seeing how enthusiastic he was, he agreed.

He also said that although his ranch is not big, every cow is his family and he will do his best to take good care of them.

"Jack found a broken fence, you know, that's common in pastoral areas."

"How did you lose your cow?" Lin Feng asked.

"Jack, how's the situation?" Arnold shouted.

Lin Feng asked: "Some time ago, a black bear broke the fence and broke into my pasture. How did your fence get damaged?"

Arnold Scarlander made Lin Feng a cup of fragrant black tea, then sat across from him and started chatting.

Lin Feng jumped outside and picked up the damaged section of the fence. There were obvious cutting marks on the cross section. It was obvious that wild animals did not have the ability to use electric saws.

Cows graze leisurely on the grass, and there is a small vegetable garden not far away.

Arnold and his daughter also got out of the car and followed.

Although this ranch is small in size, only two to three hundred acres of land, it is well organized and is a typical family-style small manor.

"Can you take me to see it?" Lin Feng asked.

The young man stood up and smiled, "I can handle it in ten minutes. It doesn't look serious."

Their two dogs chased her all the way. The girl criticized them for being rude, and the dogs left in good faith.

Arnold made a call, and then the pretty girl drove over in a battery sightseeing car and took them to the outskirts of the ranch.

This kind of thing is indeed common for ranches, but it seems to happen more frequently in pastoral areas recently.

"of course."

He told Lin Feng that this cow had special meaning to him because it was his daughter who had raised her since she was a child and had been with him for many years.

Arriving at the outskirts of the pasture, Arnold's son Jack was repairing the fence there. Several cows stood nearby and watched. The scene was very funny.

The battery car is not very fast, similar to the patrol car in the park, but it is very fun.

Lin Feng jumped out of the car and walked over. His intuition told him that the truth was not that simple.

Jack looked back and spread his hands, "Maybe it was also damaged. I didn't care."

"It doesn't look like it was hit by an animal." Lin Feng looked at the broken edge of the fence and said with certainty.

Arnold and Jack both came closer and looked carefully at the damage to the fence.

"Indeed, the cut is too neat, it's more like it was cut by some sharp tool." Arnold said with a frown.

"Did someone deliberately sabotage it?" Jack asked in surprise.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Lin Feng nodded, "Has your ranch offended anyone during this period? Or has anyone suspicious been here?"

Arnold and Jack both shook their heads no.

"That's strange. Could it be a random destruction?" Lin Feng said to himself.

Scarland Manor is very small, and seeing that they are all responsible people, they should not be seeking revenge.

"Mr. Lin, what do you think we should do?" Arnold looked at Lin Feng and asked. "I suggest calling the police first and letting the police investigate." Lin Feng said, "In addition, it is best to strengthen the security measures at the ranch to prevent similar things from happening again."

Arnold nodded, "Okay, I'll call the police right away."

After saying that, he took out his mobile phone and started making calls.

Lin Feng continued to stay at the scene and observed the surrounding situation, trying to find some clues.

He found that the grass in this area was a bit messy, as if something had stayed here.

He walked over and took a closer look and found some vague footprints.

"There are footprints here." Lin Feng pointed to the ground and said to Jack.

Jack came over to take a look and said, "These footprints look like human footprints."

"That's right, and these footprints are new and should have been left recently." Lin Feng said with certainty.

"So, someone really destroyed our fence on purpose?" Jack was very angry.

"It's possible." Lin Feng nodded, "And this person may have stayed in this area."

"Wait a minute, there's a rut." Lin Feng made a new discovery.

Jack recognized it, "It's a motorcycle!"

Speeder party?

An idea flashed in Lin Feng's mind.

Hearing this, Arnold's daughter also came over, "Aren't we in danger? What if he is a bad person?"

The little girl is still relatively innocent.

"Don't worry, we will find him." Lin Feng comforted, "The most important thing now is to strengthen security measures to ensure everyone's safety."

Arnold hung up the phone and walked over, "The police said they would be here soon."

"That's good." Lin Feng nodded, "Let's go back first and tell them the situation in detail when the police arrive."

So everyone returned to the house and waited for the police to arrive.

Not long after, a police car stopped at the gate of the ranch, and Doudou got out.

He is patrolling this stretch of road.

"Hey bro, why are you here?"

After Doudou got out of the car, she lifted up her loose pants. She found that this action was not very elegant, so she coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.

"The Scarander family's cattle were lost, and I helped them pull it back. Then I discovered that something was wrong with the fence here. It seemed to have been vandalized."

Doudou looked around and said, "This is not an isolated case. There were several pastures that had their fences cut off today."

"Officer Fusco, who did this?" Arnold's voice was hoarse.

Doudou spread his hands and said, "I only know that he is a motorcyclist, but he was wrapped very tightly and has not been found yet."

Lin Feng asked: "Could it be the Vargas Speedsters who did it?"

Doudou spread his hands, "It's possible, but there is no evidence at the moment. The pastoral area is too big and the police resources are small, so it is difficult to make progress in this case."

What happened to the member of the Speeding Gang who was captured before? Did you learn anything from him? "

Doudou had a complicated expression, "You mean Jassim? The state police released him on the third day after they caught him."

"Let go?"

Lin Feng was surprised.

Doudou was helpless, "Yes, it is said that someone from above requested this. In short, this matter is not something that the town police station can control."

Well, Lin Feng felt more and more that there was a big invisible hand that wanted to control the Montana pastoral area, and this hand was getting closer and closer to him.

There is reason to believe that the previous Yellowstone River plague was caused by artificial poisoning and was not an accident as officials said.
