Chapter 1130: Cooked

~9 min read 1,777 words

"Team Leader Jiang, have a cup of coffee." Wei Shiyan ran home to get coffee beans and a full set of manual brewing equipment. Right in the finance department of the film and television city, he first washed the hand-grinding with two beans, ground the beans and brewed them in one go, and finally carefully handed it to Jiang Yuan.

As for whether others want to drink coffee, Wei Shiyan was too lazy to do even surface work.

Mu Mu Zhiyang ate two big bowls of Tong'an braised pork rice, and his view of Wei Shiyan was greatly improved, asking: "This coffee of yours also has a lot of attention, civet coffee?"

"Yes." Wei Shiyan said.

"Is it really civet coffee?" Mu Mu Zhiyang was curious: "I heard that there are many fakes, you can't watch the cat poop coffee beans."

Wei Shiyan was a bit surprised by Mu Mu Zhiyang's guessing ability and said: "My little brother watched the civet cat excrete the coffee beans."

Jiang Yuan, who had just picked up the coffee, paused, gently pushed the coffee to Miao Miao Ruixiang next to him, and said: "You drink it. Make me a cup of tea."

"I'll come, I'll come..." Wei Shiyan couldn't care about being frustrated, and hurriedly said: "I brought Phoenix Dancong, help wash a set of tea sets, I see there are some in this office."

"Other people's things, not easy to use." Miao Miao Ruixiang educated Wei Shiyan.

Wei Shiyan sneered: "They can complain about me if they are not satisfied. It's just a set of tea sets, I'll leave a pack of duck shit fragrance for them later."

"What the hell?" Miao Miao Ruixiang didn't understand.

"Phoenix Dancong, duck shit fragrance, the taste is particularly strong when brewed, and the aftertaste is very long..." Wei Shiyan hurriedly introduced.

Miao Miao Ruixiang looked at Jiang Yuan and said: "Even if we are forensic doctors, it's just a bit smelly outside..."

"I'll go look next door." Jiang Yuan got up, and before leaving the door, said to Miao Miao Ruixiang: "From now on, Wei Shiyan will follow you."

Miao Miao Ruixiang was stunned. As a pure newcomer forensic doctor who had just graduated and entered the job, Miao Miao Ruixiang naturally fantasized about the scene of taking people to the scene. He also carefully considered that if a newcomer male forensic doctor came, how to ruthlessly squeeze him, and if a newcomer female forensic doctor came, how to ruthlessly squeeze her while maintaining social distance. At the very least, when moving the corpse, let her move the legs, unless she is super beautiful, she can only move one leg.

Miao Miao Ruixiang really didn't think that the days of having a handyman would come so quickly. He didn't think that the first person to do handyman for him was a high-ranking official's child, and he was also a person who liked to drink civet coffee and duck shit fragrance.

Thinking that even Dai Mingsheng couldn't move Wei Shiyan, Miao Miao Ruixiang felt a bit numb in the corners of his mouth. How many layers are there between him and Dai Mingsheng? Miao Miao Ruixiang's above is the non-duty deputy section chief Wu Jun, and above that is the detachment leader of the criminal science detachment. Although he is still a large investigator, he is basically the peak that an ordinary police officer can reach.

It is already very difficult for the detachment leader of the county criminal investigation team to do it, and then one step up to the deputy bureau chief or political commissar, and then there is a chance to reach the detachment leader of the municipal bureau. Every step is extremely difficult, and most people will be stuck in one of the steps for a lifetime, unable to cross it.

The police system can be said to be the most difficult series of promotions in the entire public service system, none of them.

Dai Mingsheng, who is like this, can't handle Wei Shiyan. Miao Miao Ruixiang doesn't know how he should stir the horse spoon in a pot with Wei Shiyan.

Miao Miao Ruixiang stared at Wei Shiyan blankly, and Wei Shiyan also looked at Miao Miao Ruixiang uneasily.

As the saying goes, the horizontal is afraid of the stunned, you never know what a young man who has just graduated is thinking.

Wei Shiyan also couldn't grasp Miao Miao Ruixiang's pulse. In any case, he is also a junior brother who became Jiang Yuan after graduation. Wei Shiyan doesn't know what relationship Miao Miao Ruixiang is taking... Maybe there is no relationship, but so what, just the identity of Jiang Yuan's junior brother is enough for Miao Miao Ruixiang to mix in the police system until he is old. If he lives long enough, wait until he is seventy or eighty to come out, maybe he will be respected as Miao Lao.

"Shiyan..." Miao Miao Ruixiang felt he should speak first.

Wei Shiyan immediately responded: "Master! You can just call me Little Wei."

Miao Miao Ruixiang:? c(?.? *)Ummm…

Wei Shiyan: (*? _? *)ゞ

In the conference room, the Economic Crimes Investigation unit had two full squads, plus accountants from the firm, and they had only just managed to sort out a portion of the film city's accounts.

The Economic Crimes Investigation detachment leader, Lu Yaohua, immediately sought out Jiang Yuan and said, "Team Jiang, we've finished most of the interrogations."

Jiang Yuan offered an encouraging smile: "That was fast."

Lu Yaohua felt deeply encouraged and said, "We don't need to help them balance the books; we just need to find the problems in their accounts. Of course, if they are as stubborn as a dead duck, then we'll have to keep calculating, but, well, you know how white-collar crime goes."

In homicide cases, one often encounters criminal suspects who are dead set on their own logic. The true culprit of the Hugu case, Zhao Zhang Zhihong, was a typical murderer; after confessing to nine rape and murder cases, he bore "immense pressure" and insisted on confessing to the 4.9 Woolen Mill compound rape and murder case as well.

By comparison, white-collar criminals commit crimes that are relatively "softer," and their personalities are the same. Especially when the evidence is irrefutable, white-collar criminals are often more inclined to negotiate terms, or in other words, to confess truthfully in exchange for credit for meritorious service.

"Was there anyone instigating the suicide?" Jiang Yuan was still more concerned about the homicide.

"Yes, it was a shareholder of the film city, Xu Biao, the boss of Magnificent Movement Film Company. They colluded internally and externally, running shell projects, artificially inflating expenses, and making quite a bit of money. There were also acts of money laundering, subsidy fraud, and loan fraud... The person who committed suicide, Song Zhaoluo, handled at least 30 million. That's what we've found so far; he signed quite a few documents, so he can't escape it." Lu Yaohua commented, "He's a bit of a fool."

"That's because he ran into us." Wei Shiyan strolled over and interjected without any hesitation: "If Team Jiang hadn't been tracking him the whole way, this guy would have transferred his money abroad before retiring, found an opportunity to go abroad for a meeting or something, and just left. He might have even had his green card ready."

"His daughter is already abroad," Lu Yaohua said.

Wei Shiyan clicked his tongue: "Look at that father."

For a moment, Lu Yaohua didn't even dare to look at Wei Shiyan.

In the evening.

Jiang Yuan brought the remaining Tong'an braised pork to see Dai Mingsheng.

In terms of appearance, Tong'an braised pork is similar to Dongpo pork, only the pieces are larger, stewed until more tender, and use more ingredients, adding Min Province specialties like shiitake mushrooms, lotus seeds, chestnuts, and dried shrimp. But Tong'an braised pork has one selling point that is very suitable for the new era—the cover is only lifted once it's on the table.

A serving of Tong'an braised pork normally takes three to four hours to braise, and the ancient method takes eight hours. Therefore, the flavor of the delivered Tong'an braised pork is almost indistinguishable from dining in.

Dai Mingsheng had also been busy all day. A serving of tender, trembling braised pork mixed into a large bowl of rice—no other dishes were needed—and he gobbled it all down with slurping sounds.

Jiang Yuan handed Dai Mingsheng a bottle of water.

Dai Mingsheng's criminal investigator brain turned slightly, and he immediately stopped savoring the aftertaste of the pork: "Are you leaving?"

"There's nothing left for me to do here." Jiang Yuan gestured for Dai Mingsheng to drink the water, his expression as gentle as a scoundrel who had broken up countless times.

Dai Mingsheng couldn't swallow his food: "Our Lanyue City has plenty of cases, and... and there are organizations like the Heavy Load gang. We can dig out these malignant tumors hidden in society..."

Jiang Yuan said softly: "Xu Xu Taining will stay for a while longer to help you wrap up the Heavy Load case. Since he's been here for so long, Lanyue should be able to have some peace for a while."

"You don't need to worry about funding." Dai Mingsheng's criminal investigator brain spun rapidly; clearly knowing Jiang Yuan's thoughts, he said: "Funding is my business. As long as you stay, I will get the funding. We've solved such a massive case as the Heavy Load gang; now when I talk to my superiors, I can stand straighter than anyone..."

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment. Dai Mingsheng's subsequent words were somewhat persuasive. Xu Xu Taining's passing through could exhaust three generations' worth of food supplies; if he could secure some funding for the Lanyue City Criminal Police Detachment, staying a while longer wasn't impossible.

Seeing this, Dai Mingsheng immediately said: "Drug cases, how about doing drug cases? We are strong and well-equipped now, and we just happened to work on a gang case like this. It's better to stick to what we're familiar with..."

"You're from the Criminal Police Detachment, not the Narcotics Control Detachment," Jiang Yuan said with a laugh.

Dai Mingsheng didn't even blink as he said: "It just so happens that the Narcotics Control Detachment can cover the initial expenses. New types of drugs are very troublesome now and have a huge impact on society. So many cases are related to these things; whether we handle the front end or the back end, it's all fine!"

Since it had come to this, Jiang Yuan could only gently utter a four-word mantra: "Go find Director Huang."
