"Then... junior brother, shall we go down the mountain?"

After all, the unit sent the two of them out to help solve the case, and now my junior brother and I are going to the mountains to hunt and eat chicken instead. I feel a little embarrassed.

"That's fine then. We won't go to the ticket management department, so we don't get conscripted there again."

"Yes, Captain Li actually made us guard the gate, he really spoils him!" Hou Jun was still a little indignant when he talked about this.

He plucked some long wild grass by the edge of the woods, quickly braided it into two ropes, and used the ropes to tie the squirrels into two strings, making them much easier to carry.

When he reached the bottom of the mountain, Chang Kun sensed that a fat rabbit was sleeping soundly in its burrow in front of him.

In the past, rabbit meat would have been considered a delicacy by my family.

But for the past month or so, Chang Kun has been bringing home not only venison, but also mutton, and various kinds of good stuff like large yellow croaker and sea cucumber.

It's not just the little girls; even the parents get a bit nauseous at the sight of rabbit meat.

Without good cooking skills, rabbit meat is often tough, has a fishy smell, and is not tasty at all.

Now that we've encountered wild rabbits on the road, it's perfect for Monkey King to catch and eat. Otherwise, he only brings three squirrels home, and that little bit of meat is just enough to taste, not enough to fill his stomach.

"Brother Monkey, do you like to eat wild rabbits?"

Hou Jun looked at Chang Kun in confusion. What did this mean?

What do you mean, do you like eating wild rabbit?

Is there anyone who doesn't like meat?

Seeing the strange look in Hou Jun's eyes, Chang Kun realized he had asked the wrong question and quickly corrected himself, saying, "It's like this, my family doesn't eat wild rabbit meat. If you catch a wild rabbit, you can take it home."

"Caught a rabbit?" Hou Jun's eyes lit up. Knowing Chang Kun wouldn't make something out of nothing, he looked around. "Junior brother, where's the rabbit? These things run fast; we can't catch them!"

Chang Kun smiled faintly and pointed to the small hole in the ground not far away.

"It's right there!"

"The rabbit, is it inside the burrow?" Hou Jun suddenly realized.

A rabbit hiding in its burrow and a rabbit running wildly across the field are two completely different species.

As long as it hides inside the hole, isn't it a piece of cake to catch it?

Moreover, according to Chang Kun, his family doesn't even care to eat rabbit meat, which means he wants to give the wild rabbits he catches to himself!

Fearing that he wouldn't accept it, he made up a lie that none of his family liked eating wild rabbit meat.

Such a good junior brother is truly a rare find!

Thinking of this, Hou Jun's eyes became slightly moist.

"Hey... Junior brother, watch me!"

Hou Jun turned his head away, not wanting Chang Kun to see his loss of composure.

He took out a match from his pocket, gathered a couple of half-dry wild grasses around him, and was about to light it and stuff it into the rabbit hole.

"Hey! Monkey King, wait a minute! What are you doing?!"

Hou Jun smiled smugly: "Junior brother, the rabbit is in its burrow. Catching it is very simple. Just smoke it with wet grass. There's no need to go through the trouble of digging a burrow."

Chang Kun remained silent for a moment.

"Brother Monkey, where did you learn this skill?"

"I've overheard some older people saying in casual conversations, 'Do you really need to learn this? Isn't it just a matter of having hands?'"

"Brother Monkey, this isn't something you can do just by having hands..." Chang Kun patiently explained to him, "Have you ever heard of the idiom 'a cunning rabbit has three burrows'?"

Hou Jun nodded thoughtfully, unable to figure it out for a moment.

"So what if a cunning rabbit has three burrows?"

"This means that a rabbit has several burrows. If you smoke the rabbit like this, it will quickly escape through one of the other burrows."

"Oh dear! It really is!" Hou Jun slapped his forehead, a little annoyed. "I almost let some excellent wild rabbit meat escape!"

He would probably regret it for half a month if he let a fat rabbit escape.

"When I overheard the old folks chatting, why didn't they mention the abundance of rabbit burrows?"

"Would someone really explain their secrets to you for free?"

"That's true! Hehe, luckily my junior brother is here! This wild rabbit is doomed today!" Hou Jun laughed foolishly.

Tonight we'll have greyhounds to eat and wild rabbit meat too. My little girl's mouth will definitely be full of greasy food.

Under Chang Kun's command, Hou Jun found two more rabbit burrow entrances.

He lit two handfuls of wet grass and quickly stuffed them into the entrances of two rabbit holes.

Chang Kun was already waiting at the last cave entrance.

As smoke billowed into the rabbit burrow, the fat rabbit inside was startled awake and instinctively fled to the area with the least smoke.

In its panic, the rabbit had barely poked its head out of the burrow when Chang Kun pinned it to the ground.

"Hey kid, you must be lonely staying in your empty room all by yourself. I'll have Monkey King find you a hot pot so you can have some fun."

Lifting the rabbit by its ears, Chang Kun discovered it was a female rabbit.

"Junior brother, let me take a look!" Hou Jun rushed over as soon as he got the rabbit and touched its belly.

"There's a lot of rabbit meat here!" Hou Jun said, drooling involuntarily.

"Monkey King, watch out!"

The rabbit kicked wildly with its four legs, almost kicking Hou Jun.

Don't underestimate the size of a wild rabbit; it's incredibly strong. If it glares at a person, it might not break bones, but it will at least cause bruising and swelling for ten days to two weeks.

Carefully taking the rabbit from him, Hou Junhao saw that it was still struggling. He was overjoyed and pressed it down in the mud, then rolled over and straddled it.

"Hey! You big worm, you dare to disobey?!"

He struck a pose like Wu Song fighting a tiger, but the wild rabbit beneath him was too small, making it look a bit comical.

If the junior brother doesn't want the wild rabbit, he can take it home and have a good meal. That's so exciting!

After playing around for a while, he carefully tied the rabbit's four legs together and used a tree branch as a carrying pole to hang it in front of him.

He had already planned that once he returned to his neighborhood, he would take the wild rabbit and wander around the alleys a few times, making his neighbors quite envious.

Moreover, if you bring a live wild rabbit home, you can keep it for a couple of days, and when it's time to kill it, you can invite your parents over to eat it together.

Let them see that I am capable now and can get meat for my family.

Chang Kun and his companion descended the mountain around four o'clock.

"Junior brother, shall we... go home?"

Looking at the rabbit and the greyhound in his hands, Hou Jun felt he was at a loss.

You can't exactly use these things to investigate a case, can you? You'd just make your fellow police officers laugh at you.

"Here's what we'll do, Monkey King. I'll go to the deceased man's workplace and see what's going on. You can just take the rabbit and the greyhound home."

"That works too!"

Hou Jun didn't make a fuss. Since he wasn't at work and there were no leaders watching over him, he could leave work early and spend more time playing with his daughter.

This greyhound is so fluffy. I'll use the skin to make a little hat for my daughter; it'll be so comfortable to wear in winter.

The two parted ways, and Chang Kun went directly to the male victim's workplace.

This was a machinery factory, quite large in scale. The deceased man was under thirty years old and had become a workshop team leader, which could be considered a sign of his youth and talent.

It wasn't time to leave work yet, and as Chang Kun approached the equipment factory, he frowned.

In the sensory system, a pink star representing the criminal is twinkling inside the equipment factory.

Pink is a color that is not commonly seen in intuition; it often represents messy and complicated relationships between men and women.

It is only in these times that these things represent evil.

If this were in later generations, it would be perfectly normal.

Even casual relationships between men and women, let alone casual relationships between men and women, do not constitute a crime.

At this point, could this person, representing a promiscuous relationship between men and women, be connected to the massacre of his entire family?
