    Chapter 393: Murder caused by otter

    After dinner in the morning, Professor Zhao sat in the wooden bridge pavilion enjoying the cool air with a cup of tea, while Liu Junhao looked through the dictionary to find a name for his child.  This was a top priority at the moment and we had to be cautious. Zhang Qian would whisper in his ears almost every day.

    Liu Junhao has thought about it for more than 20 times, but all of them have been rejected.  In fact, in his opinion, it is enough to have a proper name, and there is no need to pay so much attention to it.

    But Zhang Qian didn¡¯t think so, saying that one must be careful when choosing a name.  The example she gave was that when she was in high school, she had a female classmate who was the eldest in the family. When she was born, her father named her Si Xi. The result was that she had three daughters in a row. Sure enough, Si Xi came

    Hearing what his wife said was so mysterious, Liu Junhao could only treat the naming as a big deal.

    While thinking here, Professor Zhao suddenly pointed to a few Qingzhuang feathers under the bridge and asked, "Xiao Hao, have you noticed that there are often bird feathers in the ditch these days"

    "It's so new. You just discovered your feelings. It's not normal for a bird to shed its feathers." Liu Junhao answered absently, not sure why he was making such a fuss.

    "No, look, these are old feathers" Professor Zhao said, pointing to a few bird feathers blocked by water plants.

    "Old Ling, it didn't fall off during the fight in Qingzhuang, right?" Liu Junhao speculated when he saw the dark gray feathers that were nearly twenty centimeters long.  This is the flying feather of Qingzhuang. It is hard and difficult to fall off unless it is torn off in a fight.

    "There are so many more here" When Professor Zhao cast his eyes on the reeds, he immediately shouted.

    "Isn't it?" Liu Junhao looked in the direction of his finger and found a lot of Qingzhuang feathers.

    It was then that the two men realized that something was not quite right, and began to search along the ditch. The more they searched, the more surprised they became. They found nearly half the bamboo basket with various bird feathers, and many bird bones.

    Since the Qingzhuangs raised at home are often mixed with those in the woods, Liu Junhao has not counted them carefully.  Now it seems that it is very likely that his own Qingzhuang will also suffer a lot.

    Thinking of this, Liu Junhao immediately went back to the backyard to catch a large bucket of crucian carp, and then whistled in the yard.  The weather is hot at this time, Qingzhuang will not fly far at all, and it is easy to summon him.

    Hearing his master¡¯s call, Qingzhuang, who was enjoying the shade in the woods, immediately screamed and rushed into the yard, surrounding his master and grabbing them like crazy.

    Liu Junhao casually threw the crucian carp all over the floor, causing Qingzhuang to disperse and count them carefully.

    Those green villages are so crowded and crowded, with people running around all the time. It would have been too long for someone else's eyesight.  But Liu Junhao has quick reactions and strong mathematical calculation ability. In Zhang Qian's words, he is inhuman, so counting is not difficult.

    But when I finished counting, I became depressed again. Not only did my number of Qingzhuang not decrease, but there were more than a dozen more.  He thought he had counted wrongly and hurriedly counted again.

    "How is it?" Seeing her husband's serious look, Zhang Qian asked hurriedly.

    "There's no way to count them. There are more than a dozen. Let's wait until night to count them." Liu Junhao shook his head with a wry smile.  Yeqingzhuang from outside must have gotten involved. These guys have been looking for food in front of the door for a long time. They are no different from domesticated ones and are not afraid of people at all.

    Unable to find the answer, a few people had to walk out of the yard and walk upstream along the ditch.  Soon they discovered that bird feathers were increasing in the area in front of the door, and it was normal in the ditch above.  I just don¡¯t know when the tragedy started, and I didn¡¯t even notice it under my nose.  What do you think of the three yellow-spotted skins? Seriously derelict in their duties.

    ¡°What do you think is the water bird that preys on it?¡± Professor Zhao asked after surveying the scene.

    "I don't know either," Liu Junhao thought for a long time but couldn't find the culprit. There has been no abnormality in the hospital recently.

    ¡°Could it be those foxes?¡± A tourist who came to buy eels interjected.  He knew that there were several foxes in the river beach who often ran to Liu Junhao's house, and that foxes also ate waterfowl.

    "It could also be Cao Baozi. Didn't that guy come here a few times?" Er Mazi followed.  He came here to pick beans, and this happened.  Since the grass leopard was released back into the forest, it seems that Liu Junhao has identified Liu Junhao as a geomantic treasure. He will show up nearby every now and then, but he is driven away by Xiaopi every time.

    "It shouldn't be," Liu Junhao shook his head.  Although foxes and clouded leopards eat birds, they generally do not commit crimes near water.  Besides, these waterfowl have become very fierce under the leadership of Qingzhuang in the courtyard. If they encounter natural enemies, they will definitely attack them in groups.  The noise caused was definitely not small, but he had never seen it before.

    "Is there a big fire hidden in the water?" Professor Zhao asked after thinking for a while.  This ditch, together with the weir and pond, might have fire escaping into the ditch.

    "No"If the fire head is small, it is no match for Qingzhuang. If it is big, it will definitely not be hidden in the ditch.  "Er Mazi then denied.

    One morning, everyone was talking about Qingzhuang, but it was said that it was a long time.  As for the pig badgers and otters in the yard, Liu Junhao didn't think they were responsible.  Although pig badgers can climb trees, they are relatively timid. He once saw those guys being chased around by Qingzhuang.  Besides, they usually run into the fields to catch mice and rarely come to the front.

    The same goes for otters, who spend most of their time in the backyard.  They are particularly clumsy on land, and it is more difficult to get out of the house, and the otter den is still more than ten meters away from the ditch.

    Liu Junhao spent the entire afternoon guarding the ditch. As a result, the situation was calm and no dangerous animals were seen.  I originally thought I would count them in the evening to see if I had any Qingzhuang young ones, but I didn¡¯t expect that there were still more than a dozen more.  This time he had no idea what the problem was.

    I thought it would be difficult to solve the mystery, but just one day later, the culprit appeared.

    When it comes to which tourists come to Liujiagou more often, Wen Fuqiang and his wife will definitely be on the list.  Ever since they found out that their son had become cheerful after coming to Liujiagou, they would take their son to stay here for a day or two every week.  After the summer vacation started, I ran to Liujiagou every now and then.

    Of course, they also bought a lot of Liu Junhao¡¯s watermelons. They became acquaintances as soon as they came and went, and they were no strangers when they came to the yard. They soon started playing with the monkeys.

    Wen Fuqiang and his wife became more and more envious of Liu Junhao's living environment. When they opened the courtyard door, there was a fresh and clean breath in the air.  The courtyard is lined with green trees, flowers are in bloom, and there are flocks of chickens and ducks.  When you have free time, pour a cup of tea and hold a book, as if you have forgotten the hustle and bustle of the city and retreated to the countryside.

    After playing with Wukong for a while, he took an eel hook from the window and went to catch eels in the ditch outside.

    Wen Fuqiang was afraid that his son was playing in the water, so he quickly followed him with an eel hook.  It is said that this man also caught eels when he was a child, so he wanted to show off in front of his son.

    After hanging the earthworms, he immediately squatted next to the wooden bridge.  According to previous experience, there should be an eel cave under this wooden bridge.

    As soon as the eel hook was put into the water, the sound of rushing water came from under the bridge.

    He thought there was a big fish coming out, so he subconsciously stretched his head under the bridge, but his face suddenly turned pale.

    "Wow, ghost" Wen Fuqiang suddenly shouted, almost frightening the soul of Liu Junhao who had just walked out of the hospital.

    ????????????????????????????????????????

    "Help, help," the voice screamed in a very miserable way, and I couldn't help but beat the water with my hands.

    Liu Junhao admired him a little. How could such a big man be so timid? He didn't know what he saw.  Besides, the ditch is only thigh-deep. Is there any need to shout for help?

    "I said Lao Wen, what did you see?" Liu Junhao smiled and stretched out his hand to hold him.

    "There is something under the bridgea monster" Wen Fuqiang climbed ashore and pointed his finger and screamed, regardless of the fact that he was wet.

    He made quite a noise, alarming both Zhang Qian and Ye Wanhua.

    Several people put their heads under the bridge to take a look, but saw nothing.

    "Are you dazzled? Hurry up and ask Xiao Hao to find you two pieces of dry clothes to change into." Ye Wanhua scolded a few words and then asked the master to find clothes.

    "Dad, you are so mean" also added insult to injury.

    Liu Junhao and Wen Fuqiang are about the same height, but slightly stronger. His clothes fit him well.

    After changing his clothes, Wen Fuqiang was still unwilling.  Just now, a few tourists came to buy eels, and they happened to see him fall into the water. It was really embarrassing.  And he felt that his eyes were not blurry, there was clearly something there.

    Thinking of this, he stretched his head under the bridge again, but his eyes widened and his hands trembled uncontrollably. Fortunately, he didn't fall into the water this time.

    "Is it really weird?" Seeing his appearance, Liu Junhao also crawled sideways to the bridge to take a look: his scalp was numb, and his hands subconsciously supported the bridge guardrail.

    Good guy, I saw a few pairs of pea-sized eyes staring at me in the darkness of the water, green and shiny, very scary.  I couldn't see clearly in the dark, I just felt that there were a few big pythons hiding under the bridge.

    Seemingly hearing his movements, the guys started chirping.

    As soon as the otter heard the sound, Liu Junhao was relieved. It was the sound of Baoyu and the others. It felt like several otters were hiding under the bridge.

    "I fainted, it turned out to be an otter." Wen Fuqiang saw that they were a few little guys, and his hands stopped shaking.

    Seeing the owner, Baoyu¡¯s family looked specialExcited, they all screamed and poked their heads out from under the bridge.  Behind them, a black hole the size of a washbasin was vaguely visible under the water, which should be the otters' cave.

    The otter shouldn¡¯t stay in the courtyard. When did it escape?  Thiscouldn't this be digging the cave under the bridge?  Liu Junhao found it incredible. You must know that the otter's nest is on the east side of his yard, and the wooden plank bridge is next to Professor Zhao's house. Even if a straight line is drawn diagonally between the two places, it is more than 20 meters away.

    A few otters shouldn¡¯t be able to complete such a big project Thinking of this, Liu Junhao hurried back to the yard, went under the peach tree and shouted loudly.

    "Chichichichi" Soon there were several crisp calls from the otter cave.  Baoyu happily poked his head out under the peach tree.

    Damn it, isn¡¯t it? Liu Junhao was completely stunned.

    Professor Zhao told himself the day before yesterday that there were bird feathers in the ditch. He thought they were eaten by some unknown animal.  Now it seems that the case is most likely caused by our own otter.

    The sun is not shining under the bridge at noon, so many fish will hide under it to enjoy the coolness, and those greedy water birds will naturally gather under the water.

    Otters hide in caves and wait, so it is too easy to catch waterfowl.  This is simply a natural trap

    No wonder he heard Qingzhuang screaming several times at noon, but the weather was too hot, so Liu Junhao did not go out of the yard to check.

    After thinking through everything, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly called out Professor Zhao, and then explained his reasoning to everyone.  Everyone found it incredible and tried several times in the otter cave and under the bridge before they believed Liu Junhao's words.

    But what makes them even more incredible is how the otter can quietly dig such a long cave, with a straight line distance of 20 meters, which is difficult for even humans to do.

    "Haha, I have read reports about this from the Internet before. Otters are very smart. We can't take them too simply." Wen Fuqiang no longer panicked at this time, and he said, "They live between water and land.  Build dikes and weirs to cut off the water to form a pool, and dig holes to build nests. The caves have several entrances and exits, usually one end is opened in the woods, and the other is opened two or three meters underwater, connecting the water and land. Not only is it convenient to enter and exit, but you can also dive directly into the water to find food or  Escape. This cave is a bit long, but it¡¯s nothing. Otters can sneak underwater for five or six minutes.¡±

    "That's right," a tourist continued, "the intelligence of animals is beyond people's imagination. I also heard that there is an animal called a beaver, which is really smart. They can use tree stems, stones, and silt to build dams to intercept floods.  It is said that the longest dike is nearly 200 meters long, 67 meters wide, and more than three meters high. They are even more awesome than humans and they can also build houses. The houses they build are quite exquisite, similar to the charcoal kilns we used to burn bricks.  It¡¯s almost the same. The walls of the house are built and coated with clay to prevent explosions"

    "Real or false?" This is the first time Liu Junhao has heard of such a smart animal. It is even more outrageous than his own and looks quite evil.

    "It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, check it out later In the western United States, in order to control the water volume of streams and rivers, people specially transported beavers there and let them build embankments to make their homes."

    After Liu Junhao checked on the Internet, he realized that there is no best thing, only more awesome things.  Beavers are beyond my imagination. If I can introduce a few of them to Liujiagou anytime, it will definitely cause a sensation.

    But just thinking about it, this thing is very rare in China.  Beavers exist only in the Burgen River Basin in Xinjiang. They are national first-level protected animals and cannot be introduced at all.

    Liu Junhao was worried about how to treat these otters.

    It¡¯s not possible to reason with otters, and they probably don¡¯t understand that they eat too much from those fish thieves in the backyard, and it¡¯s too late to correct them now.

    When Qingzhuang was in the courtyard, he didn't capture the otters. It was probably not because of his high awareness as he had speculated before, but because they were too slow on land.

    If you eat it, eat it. Liu Junhao thinks about it without a lot of strategies. He can only give up.  After all, otters live on fish and only occasionally eat water birds.
