Feng Yi didn't actually believe that the smell of snake on him had scared away the sea lizards, but since Santos had provided an explanation, it was easiest just to go along with it.
Right, it was the smell of the snake that frightened them away!
Figuring that this side of things would probably take a while, Feng Yi had Ding bring over some portable beach chairs for the officers handling the case.
At the reef, as one sea lizard after another climbed out of the water onto the rocks, Santos and his team observed the creatures. After cautiously testing a few times and seeing the creatures did not flee, the team members sampled them for testing.
"Looks like they fell off a cargo ship, but we still have to wait for the test results to be sure," team member Gray said.
"Hmm," Santos didn't say much, taking the device from the officers and scanning it over the body of the sea lizards.
