I have a map editor

But since it had nothing to do with him, Yang Sheng didn't ask any more questions.

The blonde woman was surprised to see him instructing the brown bear to sniff out scents like a hound. Women living on ranches may have daily experience of coming into contact with wild animals, but she did not...

Instead of approaching rashly, he made a half circle and walked towards him from the side.

"Beth Desmond, you are our polite Asian neighbor, right?", the blonde woman held out her hand with a cigarette in her mouth.

"Lucas Yang," Yang Sheng shook hands with him.

He realized a problem, which should be related to another reason why he had a great liking for Desmond Ranch. Since he came into contact with them, it was the first time he heard someone clearly point out his ethnicity. Before, whether he was fighting with them, the other party swearing at him, or negotiating with him, they seemed to only regard him as a rich man from the city. As for what ethnicity this rich man was, they didn't care.

"How do you tame brown bears and get them to do things for you?" After walking for a while, observing the brown bear's posture, and making sure that it was indeed sniffing the scent, Beth finally couldn't help asking.

"Just beat it into submission"

Beth was stunned at first and then started laughing, but she realized that now was not a good time and place to laugh, so she stopped laughing immediately.

Yang Sheng observed that she seemed to have been severely beaten and her legs and feet were not very flexible.

Hu Niu's sense of smell was originally as sensitive as that of a dog. The talents that Yang Sheng gave her also included active and passive skills to enhance her sense of smell, and she soon made a discovery.

Yang Sheng gave the brown bear a few instructions, and it growled, pretending that it had discovered something, and ran in one direction.

Yang Sheng whistled, calling on the cowboys around him to follow him. He got on the terrain vehicle and followed.

0045

Yang Sheng estimated that Desmond's grandson had been missing for several hours. Old John looked exhausted, probably because he hadn't slept all night. When he heard that Yang Sheng had made a breakthrough, he hurriedly followed on horseback.

The cowboys also quickly used the radio to call for help.

Those who were close soon appeared in sight on horseback.

The brown bear, or rather the tiger girl, followed the scent and tracked for about two kilometers behind Desmond's house, then stopped at a lowland area where the ground was a bit muddy and two obvious tire tracks could be seen.

Under Yang Sheng's instructions, the brown bear pretended to sit on the ground, turned its head and barked at him, which other people interpreted as meaning that it had lost the scent here.

Old John was a little anxious. When he saw the traces of wheel tracks at the top of the slope, he dismounted and wanted to take a closer look.

He was grabbed by Yang Sheng.

"Be careful, stand behind me, don't get close to that guy"

Several other cowboys also dismounted and stood at the top of the slope holding the reins when they heard his words.

Yang Sheng and Old John walked to the bottom of the slope. Old John squatted beside the tire tracks to observe for clues. Yang Sheng walked aside to comfort the brown bear, stroked its neck twice, and took it to the upper slope opposite. He pointed to the mountains and forests in the distance. The brown bear howled and ran away into the distance.

When we got back on the terrain vehicle, Old John had already confirmed the direction, so we all got back on our horses and followed the direction of the ruts.

Yang Sheng thought about it for a moment and followed them.

Radio calls confirmed along the way that more cowboys were joining the team. It wasn't long before old John's son Keith, along with a few other men, rode into the team on horseback from one side.

The tire tracks disappeared outside a forest after driving out of the lowland. It seemed that some criminals took advantage of the forest to drive the car to a place a few kilometers close to Desmond's residence last night, then walked to the outside of the residence and kidnapped old John's grandson somehow.

The land in the forest is dry and hard, leaving no recognizable traces, and the trees are relatively intact, so ordinary vehicles can pass through it.

The cowboys spread out and began a dragnet search, and soon found a small boot in a patch of tall grass. It looked like it was worn by old John's grandson.

This discovery seemed to confirm something to the people at Desmond Ranch. Old John and his son looked at each other. Case approached his father with the boots. The two said nothing. Case put the boots away, mounted his horse and said hello. He then took more than half of the cowboys back to the ranch with shouts.

"Yang, thank you for your help. It's a great help. I owe you a favor."

After everyone left, Old John thanked Yang Sheng.

"Without me, you can still find the previous traces. If there are... hummmmm..."

Yang Sheng interrupted his words, thinking it would be better not to get involved. Desmond and his son and the other cowboys had murderous intent in their expressions, and he estimated that the subsequent actions might not be so harmonious. He cleared his throat and continued: "...In this case, let's go back."

Old John nodded solemnly, "Okay, thank you again"

"bye--"

Huniu was quite large in stature, and it would be easy for her to get caught if she entered such an overgrown forest, which would have her tracks noticed, so she did not come in and waited outside at a distance.

Yang Sheng drove Xiaoling out of the woods, and she followed him silently.

……

cuckoo-

Yang Sheng was somewhat curious about the subsequent developments. Not long after leaving Old John and his group, he summoned a magic owl, which followed Keith from a distance, wanting to see what he was going to do.

The magic owl is a unit created with mana. It is invisible and invincible, has the "true vision" that can see through invisible units, and can also share its vision with the caster. It can exist for about a day. If it is not used to provide long-range fire positioning and sighting, it is merely used for "secret observation", which is more useful than the drones modified by Yang Sheng.

"How could his grandson get lost when he was fine?"

Xiaoling said curiously from the passenger seat.

"He's not lost, he must have been kidnapped. Tell your family to stop the search and come home."

"Oh, okay," Xiaoling sent a notification in the team channel, "Are you seeking revenge?"

"I guess so. Judging from Keith Desmond's behavior when he came to our house before, his family should be a relatively domineering presence in the local area. Anyone who can go against them is probably not a good person."

Yang Sheng held the steering wheel with one hand and summoned a magic owl with the other hand, locking it onto Old John's head.

Also share the vision of the two magic owls in the team channel.

[Team Channel] Emily: Hey, husband, how come you have the time to spy on others?

[Team Channel] Lina: Is the child okay? Was he taken away by a wild animal?

[Team Channel] Xiaoling: No, my husband said that she must have been kidnapped. Bad guys also came here last night.

[Team Channel] Nina: Kidnapped? It's revenge. Should we help?

Yang Sheng took a look and took the time to speak: No need, just observe first, this matter has nothing to do with our family for the time being.

……

After Yang Sheng and Xiao Ling left, Old John and the rest of the group rode back to the main house. Before he came back, Keith had already exchanged rides with a cowboy who was also a pastoral police officer and set off in a pickup truck.

Old John took out his cell phone and called a man named Dennis.

The magic owl is invisible, so it can get very close, and it can also transmit high-fidelity sound, so Yang Sheng and his family could hear his phone calls very clearly.

"..."

"I'm at Jenkins' house, he's dead..."

"Goddamn, this is what you get for wavering on your position. My grandson was also kidnapped last night. They did it."

There was a hint of anger in Old John's tone.

“…But they have the leverage over me.”

After a moment's silence, Dennis said.

"Then Brig will have to get a new sheriff."

Old John said firmly.

There was another moment of silence. Dennis seemed to sense his determination and said on the phone: "...the brothers rented police officers from the bureau. Those are my brothers. You can't just do it by force."

"Then just tell them not to work for those brothers."

"No, I'll have to take a big risk too... You'd better come up with a plausible excuse so that I can cover for you within the scope of my authority. If I'm investigated or fired, you'll be in trouble too."

Old John thought for a moment while holding his phone. "I'll ask the association to issue a search warrant, saying they have some dispute with the cattle."

"I understand, but I can only help you cover it up for one day. You'd better act quickly. If you delay it until the next day, I will have to follow the rules."

"Don't remind me, I know your rules."

“I’m leaving now”

……

Yang Sheng can project the audio and video information sent back by the magic owl onto a large screen through his mobile phone and home WIFI.

After returning from outside, the family sat on the sofa in the living room, eating popcorn and drinking Coke while watching the Desmond family's actions like watching a movie.

"Ah, so this Dennis is the sheriff of Bleki, which is equivalent to the chief of police, right?"

"Old Desmond has something that can influence the selection of the sheriff at will."

“It’s just so-so”

"It looks like they are planning a gunfight. Wow, so naked. It's like watching a Hollywood gunfight movie."

"Isn't it only the courts that have the power to issue search warrants? Does the livestock association have such great power?"

“I don’t know who the brothers they are talking about are, but they seem to be quite powerful and can even hire regular police officers as bodyguards.”

"Can police officers be rented out to private owners? Isn't this misappropriation of public property for private purposes?"

"Oh, Amy, is this possible?"

"Well, this is the United States, the land of the brave with freedom and dreams. The military can hire anyone with money."

"..."

Seeing this, Yang Sheng went out and summoned the magic owl for the third time, flying to the town to find Sheriff Dennis.

……

After all, it's not a movie, so the rhythm can't be as brisk as after being edited by the director.

While Yang Sheng was watching the screen, Keith Desmond spent 40 minutes driving to the town's animal husbandry association. Through the observation of the magic owl that landed on the window, he got the search warrant sent by the court through the fax machine.

Well, this is even more outrageous than the one issued by the livestock association itself, which shows that not only can Old John manipulate the sheriff at will, but even the court is the same as his family's, and can issue search warrants at will.

Seeing this, Yang Sheng complained: "Is this the setting of some TV show or movie? Is the judicial system in the United States so bad?"

Amy and a few other girls nearby started giggling, and Lily also made a face.

Sheriff Dennis was easy to find. He was a bald man who looked to be in his 50s or 60s. He came out of the town and led his men to set up a checkpoint at an intersection. They intercepted the car of a white man dressed in cowboy clothes. The man's bodyguards were indeed policemen. Not only were they wearing police uniforms, but their cars were also police cars.

Sitting in the car, the white man, whose name was unknown, rolled down the window. Sheriff Dennis leaned on the window and advised him not to make a big deal out of it and to resolve the problem peacefully.

As a result, this man used a very arrogant attitude to despise and belittle Sheriff Dennis, telling him to get out immediately. It seemed that he really had something on the latter.

But the sheriff resisted the pressure and demanded in a tough manner to check the trunk of his car.

The American police are still very powerful. Even if they have evidence in their hands, in this situation they can only open the trunk for inspection.

The result was nothing.

After releasing him, Sheriff Dennis immediately called Old John and reported that his grandson was not found.

The magic owl flew to the car of the white man dressed as a cowboy. He was also on the phone, but no one answered. It was an answering machine.

He said into the phone: "The sheriff is no longer a friend, get out of the house and go to Great Falls."

……

Keith Desmond got the search warrant and drove for another forty minutes to the outskirts of a manor.

The search warrant was shown to the police guarding the gate of the manor. The two policemen probably received the news, let us go without saying a word, and drove away from the manor immediately.

Seeing this, Yang Sheng finally understood what Sheriff Dennis meant when he said he would cover for Old John.

The other girls in the family also watched the development of the situation. Although they were not nervous, they were all focused as if they were watching a movie and reaching the climax (meow).

Keith and another pastoral policeman drove the car directly to the door of the villa. They got out of the car with guns and entered the villa one after the other.

The magic owl locked onto Keith, and the TV screen in Yang Sheng's house also moved with him, like an FPS shooting game from a God's perspective.

The two men tiptoed and searched the villa without giving any warning. There was no one on the first floor. In the bathroom of a bedroom on the second floor, Keith finally found his target. He quickly leaned forward to confirm that it was the person he was looking for. He leaned forward again and fired three shots, killing a white man with glasses holding a newspaper on the toilet.

"Bang bang bang-"

“Oh my god, ahhhhh——”

The man with glasses shuddered at first, then felt a surge of severe pain and screamed loudly.

"You, what did you do...you...oh my god...you beat the shit out of me..."

He subconsciously held the newspaper with three bullet holes in his hand, looked down at his stomach where he was shot, and confirmed it with his fingers, then complained to Keith who was holding a gun outside the door like a child.

Keyes remained in shooting position with a straight face, "Where is my son?"
