Chapter 1316: Endowed by Nature

Jiang Yuan quite liked the style of the Pingzhou people.

Straightforward, magnanimous, and not fussy about cost-effectiveness.

It was just like at the banquet, where Yin Feisong led out a cow and a sheep in public, and personally held a knife to slit the sheep's throat.

The cow was slaughtered by a professional butcher, and similarly, after being bled, it was hung up so everyone could choose the parts they liked—whether they liked it shabu-shabu, roasted, or stir-fried, there were people to do it.

Jiang Yuan felt a familiar happiness; it was a bit like returning home.

Jiang Yuan then took out the beef jerky he carried with him and distributed it to the people around him.

Liu Zhuangshi had toasted two rounds and was a bit tipsy. He received Jiang Yuan's beef jerky and was stunned: "When did you prepare this?"

"I brought it from home," Jiang Yuan explained with a smile. "My family raises cattle too. This is beef jerky made on our own ranch. Would you like to try if it's delicious?"

"Delicious." Liu Zhuangshi took a mouthful, didn't even chew, answered first, then asked with flickering eyes: "But, even if it's very delicious beef jerky, why did you bring it here? We in Pingzhou have plenty of cattle and plenty of beef jerky. Don't you believe that our Pingzhou cattle can produce delicious beef jerky?"

Jiang Yuan smiled without saying a word. To some extent, he didn't believe it.

Liu Zhuangshi exploded on the spot: "Brothers! Come over and see what this is!"

A group of Pingzhou criminal police gathered around. What met their eyes was Jiang Yuan and the beef jerky in his hand.

"Director Jiang brought beef jerky from his own home, Ningtai beef jerky!" Liu Zhuangshi was heartbroken.

He didn't need to say more. Everyone present was a police officer, and their ability to imagine was definitely better than the protagonist of a yellow comic.

For a time, the crowd was agitated:

"This won't do!"

"What's wrong with our Pingzhou cattle? How could they possibly not be as good as Ningtai cattle!"

"Ningtai's forensic expert is awesome, but the cattle aren't!"

Yin Feisong had drunk four decanters when toasting just now. At this moment, his eyes were blurred, and he walked over unsteadily, also staring at the beef jerky in Jiang Yuan's hand.

"Director Jiang!" Yin Feisong said solemnly: "You saved my son, and my life should be yours. But the cow is innocent; this cow of ours cannot have died in vain."

"Not to that extent, not to that extent..." Jiang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly.

"Director Jiang, look at the eyes of this cow!" Yin Feisong pulled Jiang Yuan over to look at the cow's eyes, then said: "I'll personally make you a roasted cow eye!"

After finishing, Yin Feisong picked up a small knife, took off the cow eye along with some cow face meat, let the barbecue master adjust the fire, and personally went into battle to roast the meat. While roasting, he sang songs, occasionally pouring the Maotai in his hand onto the fire!

Hearing his singing, Liu Zhuangshi stomped his feet, and while singing along slowly, he actually stood up and started dancing and singing.

With him taking the lead, many people in the courtyard held wine glasses, wine pots, and wine bottles, dancing while drinking. The atmosphere was as enthusiastic as a dance party.

Liu Zhuangshi danced for a while, then pulled Jiang Yuan to dance together, and said loudly: "Director Jiang, it's really refreshing to handle cases with you. I went to see the kidnappers' corpses earlier; I hit 13 out of 15 bullets in my magazine. I haven't had such a good time in years."

"Actually, it didn't need 13 bullets." Jiang Yuan recalled the bullets he picked up during the autopsy and added: "He was hit by more than 13 bullets."

"I was afraid he would pull the trigger, so I wanted to shoot his fingers off. Because I was in the back, I already saw the people in front aiming at the head and chest," Liu Zhuangshi said very skillfully.

Jiang Yuan followed the pace of the "dancers" in front, looked at Liu Zhuangshi suspiciously, and said: "The kidnappers' fingers are all intact."

"Yes, I missed, hit all of them in the stomach." Liu Zhuangshi felt very regretful, adjusted his glasses, and had the regret of a student who didn't get a perfect score on an exam.

Jiang Yuan really recalled it seriously, and finally said: "Then you hit 9 bullets, and the 4 in the chest were also hit by you."

"Eh, how did you know... no, how did you see that?" Liu Zhuangshi was greatly surprised.

Jiang Yuan said: "I scanned the bullets under a microscope while I was at it. Besides, among the people who fired, only you used the old 92, and the others who used the 92 type were 92Gs. The guns were new, and your rifling was worn down quite a bit."

Liu Zhuangshi realized, and then realized that the autopsy Jiang Yuan did was definitely not done casually as imagined. He probably determined who gave whom how many shots, and which shot actually caused the death.

It was useless for this case, but for Jiang Yuan, it might be as simple as skinning a sheep while slaughtering it.

Liu Zhuangshi's heart moved. He drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, held Jiang Yuan's arm, and while dancing the grassland dance, smiled: "Director Jiang, if you ask me, you should stay in Anwan for a few more days. I'll take you around properly to see our Pingzhou beautiful sheep, beautiful cattle, beautiful people, very beautiful..."

"I actually do have this plan. If Captain Liu is willing to cooperate, that would be the best." Jiang Yuan had discussed borrowing Anwan to handle cases with Huang Huang Qiangmin before.

Liu Zhuangshi was pleasantly surprised: "Cooperate, I'm too willing to cooperate."

After finishing, Liu Zhuangshi shouted: "Captain Jiang is staying in Anwan!"

The dancing crowd paused, then all surged over.

Mu Mu Zhiyang shouted: "Don't crowd over! You can see Director Jiang anytime these few days, don't crowd!"

Jiang Yuan had drunk some wine and still had the energy to wave his arms.

It wasn't easy to determine a good partner. Why did Jiang Yuan handle several cases every time he went to a region before leaving? It was also because handling cases required mutual trust, and solving a case together was the best mutual trust.

Otherwise, for cases involving criminal offenses, especially vicious crimes, if there was no mutual trust between the two sides, the problems encountered would be very many.

Today, Yin Feisong was willing to take out gold of equal weight as a ransom for his son; tomorrow, there would be Yin Dijin willing to take out gold of equal weight to struggle for his son.

Liu Zhuangshi had a straightforward personality and was a high-level detachment captain, which could satisfy the basic conditions for handling cases.

Of course, the most important thing was that Pingzhou was a special place.

Pingzhou was adjacent to Shannan Province, and the closest place was only a few hundred kilometers away from Ningtai County, which could be reached easily in half a day by highway.

And Pingzhou was a border province, possessing vast grasslands and a long border line. As long as there was a car with off-road capability, the difficulty of crossing the border illegally wasn't great.

As for satellite scanning, border walls, and such things, those were things the Americans couldn't handle. Ordinary criminals couldn't even get such treatment.

Therefore, criminals in Shannan Province liked to run to Pingzhou when things went wrong, and then use Pingzhou as a springboard, either to change their names or to escape abroad.

Handling a batch of criminal cases in Pingzhou would definitely be able to improve the public security level of Shannan Province.

This stuff was mutually reinforcing, just like the former Ningtai County. Without Jiang Yuan, they had to transfer personnel every year to handle various accumulated cases, deal with inquiries from family members, track clues from other places, and so on.

Correspondingly, if they could handle some cases in Pingzhou, especially those with strong repercussions, it would also be helpful for maintaining the high-level public security of Ningtai County.

The chaotic atmosphere paused slightly.

Liu Zhuangshi immediately asked Jiang Yuan: "Which case do you want to handle? I'll arrange it immediately."

"This time, I'm considering wanting to look at fingerprint-related cases first," Jiang Yuan explained the reason: "I found that the weather conditions in Pingzhou are particularly good, and fingerprints are preserved for a long time. In addition, criminals generally commit crimes quite boldly and generally don't like to wipe the crime scene carefully for hours. I feel it's suitable for catching people by fingerprints."

Liu Zhuangshi was stunned: "I didn't expect our Pingzhou to have such an advantage endowed by nature." ===== CHAPTER 1317 =====
