Chapter Nine "Neurosis"
Once again, there is a police incident involving Chen Xiujuan
Old Xu did not want to remain in this deadlock any longer. Holding up the law enforcement recording device, he said: "Miss Tao, you have raised the snake since childhood and have feelings for it. I understand that you are reluctant to part with it, but keeping snakes is indeed illegal. Take my advice and send it to the zoo. Sending it to the zoo is a good option; there will be people to take care of it, and you can visit it at the zoo whenever you have time."
Chaoyang Village is located right in front of the community service station. The roads within the village are well-connected, with the busiest areas being South Street, North Street, East Street, and West Street. Although the exact location of the Sichuan cuisine restaurant is unknown, it is not difficult to find.
This is a very realistic issue. The sub-bureau has tightly controlled the funding for the police station, and there is no "slush fund" in the office. Fuel for police vehicles is paid for with fuel cards, while travel for case investigations or arrests is done using official cards. When a police vehicle breaks down and requires maintenance, it must go to the repair shop designated by the sub-bureau. A report must first be submitted, starting with the station chief's signature, followed by signatures from the financial department of the sub-bureau and the responsible leaders. Only after all procedures are completed will the repair shop proceed with the repairs, and once completed, the payment is settled directly with the sub-bureau, having no relation to the police station.

Han Chaoyang is merely a community police officer, and he is not yet very "official". He does not have the qualifications to possess a public service card. Even if he had a public service card, using public funds to purchase power strips would not be easy to reimburse.
Han Chaoyang sang the role of the red face, while Jiang Changgui tacitly took on the role of the white face, solemnly advising: "Miss Tao, I suggest you do not escalate the matter. Making it bigger will not benefit you at all. In the end, you will not only face punishment but also endure immense social pressure from public opinion. It is not worth it, truly not worth it."
The forest police are going to send the snake away, and the "Snake Beauty" is indeed anxious!
Musician, at the Sichuan cuisine restaurant on South Street of Chaoyang Village, there were reports made to 110 by the public. The caller spoke at length but did not clarify the situation. The command center instructed us to go to the scene to take a look, as it is within your jurisdiction, so hurry over and check it out
Manager Zhang quickly realized the situation and immediately stood up: "Alright, I will go and have the front desk call the business owners right away"
It turns out to be a first-level protected animal, and Han Chaoyang was overjoyed, unable to restrain himself from asking: "Captain Jiang, does this mean that the act of trading this animal itself is illegal?"
It is hungry! Jiang Changgui said with a sense of relief: "The Burmese python grows rapidly, and you must have been feeding it as before, resulting in it not being full, so it came out to hunt for food on its own. Generally speaking, this type of snake has relatively shiny skin, but because it needs to shed its skin, its skin is somewhat rough, and its movements are relatively slow. If it is not in the shedding period, it can indeed be dangerous."
Dealing with such individuals lacking public morality, the pressure from the community owners alone is insufficient. Han Chaoyang took out his phone, pretending to search for a phone number, and continued, "A reporter from Yan Yang Evening News happened to interview us a few days ago, asking us to provide news leads. This can be considered a hot topic, and we can invite the reporter to come for an interview"
Jiang Changgui paused for a moment and continued, "Compared to the second plan, the first plan is obviously more suitable. Considering that you are a first-time offender, we can make it so that we do not pursue your responsibility and do not impose any penalties on you, but we will definitely take the snake away."
Dinner cannot be had for the time being, so Han Chaoyang responded and could only pick up his equipment to call Old Xu to go out on duty together
Illegal, one hundred percent illegal
He pondered for a moment and said, "Old Xu, why don't you go to the back and see if the community service station has any spare power strips."
The girl stood by the door, looking pitiful, yet showing no intention of retreating
Comrade police, please take a look at her ID card. She is clearly from Jiang Province, which has no connection to our Chaoyang Village. Suddenly, she comes over claiming that this house is hers, demanding that I pay rent and that I move out. She comes every day, right at mealtime, preventing me from doing business. Please help me assess this situation; don't you think I have reason to be angry
A southerner actually came here to collect rent from the locals, which struck Han Chaoyang as somewhat suspicious. While signaling Lao Xu to maintain order, he asked: "Did you call 110? Did you report the incident?"
They brought a fan and a television. Without the fan, it would be unbearably hot at night, and without the television, it would be stifling. Old Xu was very proactive, running out to help with the moving without even being asked by Han Chaoyang
Comrade police, she is truly insane
What do you want to do
My pet Yan Yan is very gentle and will not harm anyone
Two individuals arrived at the scene in an electric vehicle, only to find a crowd of villagers and residents of the village gathered at the entrance of the restaurant, watching the commotion
Indeed, I will go and ask.
Han Chaoyang squeezed into the crowd and shouted: "Jiang Erhu, right? I am from the Huayuan Street Police Station. Why can't we have a proper conversation? Why resort to insults?"
... ...
Comrade police, it is not that I want to insult anyone, it is she who seeks to be insulted
Of course, I can help you greet the zoo
Jiang Changgui has seen pythons being raised, but he has never seen one raised to such a size. He slapped the table several times and said: "No matter how you raise a snake, it is ultimately a cold-blooded animal. In the United States, there have been multiple tragic incidents where children were attacked or even killed by Burmese pythons kept in their homes."
Zhang Beibei, this is my identity card
After saving the video, I used my phone to upload today's notes. Just as I was halfway through the upload, Xu Hongliang returned.
Public pressure can indeed be deadly. The "Snake Beauty" realizes that further entanglement will yield no good results, and can only dry her tears and choke out the question: "Officer Han, Officer Jiang, can I really go to see Yan Yan after you take her to the zoo?"
As Han Chaoyang just lifted his head, Lao Xu suddenly asked: "How do I reimburse for buying a power strip?"
"Comrade police, this shop belongs to me. He neither pays rent nor moves out, and he even curses at me, saying he will find someone to beat me up. You must help me!" The girl's tears flowed profusely, truly evoking a sense of pity.
"Relying on the mountains to eat from the mountains," when encountering difficulties in the community police station, one must certainly seek assistance from the community. Just as Old Xu stepped out the back door, his police phone rang again.
Having electrical appliances alone is not sufficient; a power strip is also necessary
The Burmese python is relatively docile among pythons, but the safety issues posed by its massive size cannot be overlooked. Its danger lies not only in the potential for very serious bites, but also in its proficiency in constricting and suffocating its prey, which poses a threat to the lives of both children and adults
Well
110 has arrived, the police have come, Erhu, stop cursing
The matter has finally been resolved. After completing all the records and obtaining the signatures from the parties involved, Han Chaoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief
Indeed, you can go to see it whenever you want; there is really no need to make such a big deal out of it. The property management company relies on collecting property fees to sustain itself, and Manager Zhang does not want to offend the owners, so he once again sat down at the table to mediate the situation
A petite and beautiful girl is tearfully arguing with a burly man. From her accent, it is clear that the girl is from the south. The man speaks in the local dialect, indicating that he is a local resident, and his attire clearly shows that he is the owner of this restaurant
Xu Hongliang suggested: "Chaoyang, have you finished? If so, let's go out for a meal together and by the way, buy two power strips."
The restaurant owner waved his arms, spitting as he spoke
"No!" Jiang Changgui said firmly and without hesitation: "Not all places are suitable for releasing animals. For example, our Yanyang is not suitable for the survival of Burmese pythons; if you release it, it will definitely not survive. Moreover, pythons should not be released casually, as it can harm the natural ecosystem and also affect the local community."
After spending more than three hours on this troublesome matter, the memory of the law enforcement recording device was nearly full, and by the time they returned to the police office, it was already quite dark. According to regulations, the afternoon's video needed to be saved to prevent the parties involved from later feeling dissatisfied and causing unnecessary trouble. Storing it at the station was too cumbersome and time-consuming, so Han Chaoyang simply decided to save the video onto his own laptop first
Being caught by the public security with evidence is indeed troublesome, and the "Snake Beauty" also realizes the seriousness of the situation. Suddenly, she asks: "Is it possible to release me instead of keeping me?"
What is your name
The past few months have not been in vain, Han Chaoyang turned around and glared fiercely at Jiang Erhu, saying: "Did I ask you? Go in first, one at a time."
Han Chaoyang became popular and turned to Zhang Manager, saying: "Manager Zhang, this is not just a matter for our public security, nor is it solely your property management's concern. Please invite all the representatives of the homeowners' committee that can be contacted, or simply hold a homeowners' meeting. Dongming New Village is a shared home for the residents, so let's all sit down and discuss whether it is permissible to raise snakes in the community"
You are being unreasonable, aren't you? Let's see if you are afraid of the public opinion pressure from your neighbors.
What’s wrong with cursing? I just cursed. Shameless little bitch, from which corner did you pop out? Do you know who Jiang Erhu is? Do you know what kind of place Chaoyang Village is!
The "Snake Beauty" felt that this was an intimidation and was about to speak when Jiang Changgui continued: "In our country, the Burmese python is classified as a national first-class protected animal. It can only be kept under special circumstances such as scientific research, breeding, exhibition, or other exceptional cases, and only with the proper permits. It is absolutely not permissible to keep them as pets"
Suddenly, she burst into tears, crying while making phone calls to friends and relatives working in government departments, even claiming that she would seek a lawyer
The police station does not have the authority to impose penalties; if there were to be any penalties, it would be the responsibility of the Forest Public Security Bureau
There are only two options: one is to send it to the zoo, where there are heated enclosures and professional caretakers, allowing the Burmese python to survive; the other is to send it to warmer places such as Dongguang or Nanhai, but it is necessary to find a location suitable for the python's survival that does not affect the local residents.
