When Sang Nian looked closely again, he found that the item hanging in the cage was indeed the object of his transaction —!
It was a bird native to the Tibetan Area, a rare species known as the Red Falcon, characterized by its slender, pointed wings and slightly longer tail, with brick-red feathers covering its back and wings. It was a national second-class protected animal.
He had already paid half the deposit online, and for the safety of both parties' interests, the remaining half was to be traded upon seeing the actual item!
He approached the Red Falcon, looking around at the people who had come to conduct the transaction.
Usually, the sellers of these items would not show themselves, fearing arrest.
Over the years, the tactics of both sides had evolved increasingly.
Sang Nian took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the other party: [I'm here, where are you?]
