“Is this why you need to buy meat and take it home?”

"Yona's birthday." Maude stood there for a long time.

If the guess is correct, this Yuna is his eldest daughter.

But judging from the information on the phone, it seemed that in addition to buying meat to take home, he also needed to prepare a gift.

Expensive birthday gift...

Returning to the police car with plenty of bullets, Maude spread out the map and looked for places around the town where wild animals might be.

At a rough look, there is only the mangrove forest next to the town.

This place has a distinct primitive landscape, so there will be no shortage of prey.

The mangroves are relatively far away.

Maude was not slow and it took nearly ten minutes.

Of course, the main reason why it takes so much time is the road conditions here.

The road conditions near Bertha's house on the edge of the town were very poor. In this primitive mangrove forest, the road was completely dirt.

When they finally arrived at this dense forest, Maud got out of the car and saw that the tires of the police car were covered in a lot of red mud.

This can only wait until I go back and clean it up.

Looking towards the woods in front of her, the only thing Maud felt was silence.

The mangroves mentioned here are not the kind composed of mangroves growing in swamps.

In appearance, mangrove trees look similar to pine forests.

The trunk is straight and the leaves are needle-shaped.

The difference is that the trees here are all red!

The trunk is dark red and the crown is bright red.

Under the gray sky, dim light shines from the mottled mangrove needles, and the ground is scattered with patches of brown pine needles, conveying the meaning of decay.

"Gugu~"

While Maud was observing the mangrove forest, he suddenly heard the cry of a pheasant in the distance in the silence.

Looking towards the direction where the sound came from, the man did not hesitate, pulled out the pistol from his waist and chased in that direction.

There are many trees in the woods, and correspondingly, the view is somewhat obstructed.

But he did see the pheasant clearly.

When Maud was about to shoot, the chicken seemed to have discovered him, screamed and flew deeper into the woods.

I secretly thought it was a pity.

The man continued deeper into the forest.

certainly.

When he entered the mangrove, he took the map with him.

This also prevents him from getting lost.

Not long after traveling, Maud stopped in front of a huge dark red tree.

The diameter and trunk circumference of the big tree in front of me can only be measured by two people hugging each other.

There is also a sign hanging on the tree, marking the age of the tree.

"This must be the largest tree in the mangrove." Maude remembered what Corey said in the interrogation room.

Yesterday he received a letter from the mysterious man, who asked Corey to put his police rifle under the big tree!

I think it was placed under this tree.

After groping for a while, Maude took out a gun from his pocket and placed it under the big tree.

Of course, this gun is not Corey's or his own. It is a scrapped police gun that Maude picked up at the police station when she came to Mangrove.

It can load bullets normally and open the safety normally, but it just can't fire bullets!

After placing the gun in place, Maude also applied a layer of paint on the surface of the gun.

If someone really took this gun, unless he was wearing gloves, his hands would be stained with these paints!

If the murderer's real target was this gun, then the gun he arranged was the bait.

After arranging these, Maud continued walking towards the depths of the mangrove forest.

"Whoa whoa whoa~"

Heavy rain fell from the dark sky.

The whole town was instantly enveloped in heavy rain.

And now, it’s night too!

In the dark forest, Maude wiped the rain off her face in embarrassment, squinting her eyes and searching hard for traces of animals around her.

He spent the entire afternoon searching for traces of animals in the mangroves.

But except for the pheasant he met at the beginning, he didn't see any animals after that!

It's still raining so heavily. I wonder if the layer of paint he applied on the pistol will still be effective under the heavy rain.

"Boom!"

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Maude used the light under the night to glance at the watch he took out of his pocket.

19:03

It's already seven o'clock in the evening!

He could think that he was pressed for time, so he came at noon to improve fault tolerance.

But I didn't expect that I would reach this point without finding the prey.

Maybe you are going in the wrong direction?

If he wants to buy meat, he should contact the supplier?

Shake his head slightly.

Maud did not think about the things that could not be changed.

Now there was only about an hour left, and he should try his best to get meat.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, a penetrating wolf howl came from a distance through the layers of rain.

Hearing this voice, Maude became determined.

There are wolves, and wolves are also meat!

In the pouring rain, Maud walked in that direction.

Covered by the sound of rain, the sound of his running was almost completely drowned out.

Driven by the urgency in her heart, Mod quickly came to the area where the wolf howl came from.

Pushing aside the wet bushes in front of him, and looking around, he saw three sizable wild wolves in the open space in front of him!

It's not that easy to deal with three of them and one person with a gun.

But no matter what, it was impossible for Maud to let go of the prey that he finally saw.

Load the pistol.

"Boom!"

Under a loud thunder, a dazzling light illuminated the entire mangrove forest for a moment.

Maud, who was about to shoot, suddenly became stiff!

Because in the moment of lightning and thunder, he clearly saw his own shadow through the large blue light... and a shadow next to the shadow!
