Chapter 140: Folding Gold Ingots

~9 min read 1,773 words

"Captain Hou, we are going back today." Wu Jun, smoking the Zhonghua cigarette provided by his apprentice, called the Longli County criminal police captain, Hou Lejia, in an old-fashioned tone.

For the criminal police captain of his own Ningtai County, Wu Jun could maintain a correct attitude most of the time, but for the criminal police captain of the neighboring county, Wu Jun viewed the other party very "equally."

Besides, Longli County didn't treat them well, did it?

Hou Lejia was naturally a bit embarrassed and said repeatedly: "The case has just been solved, don't be in such a hurry. I am really too busy here. You also know that for homicide cases, leaders are chasing and asking. If I drink a meal, I will be hung up and beaten..."

"We understand. It's mainly because the case here is done, so we should go back and report." Wu Jun said perfunctorily, still smoking in his mouth, very social.

"Stay for a few more days, stay for two more days, I will treat everyone to a good drink, guaranteed to drink well..." Hou Lejia's voice was like a big sister begging a gold master, and his emotions were also very social.

"I accept the intention, I accept the intention. But we still have to go back. It's rare to have two days of vacation, and we can't waste it in the guesthouse." Wu Jun said with polite words.

Hou Lejia tried to persuade him two more times, but couldn't persuade him, so he hung up the phone "reluctantly."

Wu Jun also put away the phone on the other side and said to Jiang Yuan: "Alright, let's go our way, the matter here is settled."

"Good, I'll have the car come over." Jiang Yuan also called out.

Wu Jun asked: "What about our car?"

"No air conditioning, you still want to sit back?" Jiang Yuan looked at Wu Jun strangely.

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he lit another cigarette for his master, and the Alphard of his village friend, Jiang Yongxin, stopped in front of the two.

"Brother Yuan." Jiang Yongxin pushed the door and got out of the car, opened the middle automatic door, and actively helped Wu Jun with his luggage.

Wu Jun looked at the brand-new commercial vehicle, his mood was greatly relieved, and he said happily: "Next time we go on a business trip for an autopsy, we should let the other party send a car to pick us up. If the car isn't good, it won't do."

"You just dream." Jiang Yuan also got into the car with a smile.

Jiang Yongxin went around in a circle and got into the car in the opposite direction.

"Why did you come to drive yourself? Just send a little brother." Jiang Yuan was polite to Jiang Yongxin again.

Jiang Yongxin chuckled and said: "I usually pick up and drop off clients too. In the past, it was mainly beautiful clients. I'll make an exception for you."

"Then you have taken a big step." Wu Jun teased.

Jiang Yongxin was stunned for a moment, understood, and laughed: "You don't know, we people in Jiang Village were also famous for daring to break through and do things in the past. This is the country demolishing our houses. If it weren't for the demolition, I would have gone out to start a career long ago."

"You should have gone to work in the demolition office at the beginning." Wu Jun shook his head and laughed.

Jiang Yuan was also full of emotion.

The older generation in Jiang Village used to work outside. Whether they dared or not was one thing; those who didn't break out would have to drink the northwest wind with their whole family.

Unlike now, everyone is huddled at home, muddling along, healthy and full of vitality.

Returning all the way on the highway.

Jiang Yuan only dozed off in the car for more than half an hour before entering the territory of Ningtai County.

The style of the two counties is quite similar, but returning to Ningtai gave Jiang Yuan a feeling of being more relaxed and comfortable.

Jiang Yuan stretched, then stretched his legs, opened a bottle of Baisuishan mineral water, and drank nearly half of it in one breath before exhaling a long, weary breath. "I feel like I've been taken for a ride," he said.

"No, we can at least sell for 1000." Wu Jun pointed at himself and then at Jiang Yuan, saying: "I'm 400, you're 600."

Jiang Yuan almost choked on the water.

"I'm 300, you're 700 is also appropriate." Wu Jun laughed and added: "Our trip over there counts as Team Huang's. Longli County, this time, is also returning his favor. We two count as..."

"Labor export." Jiang Yongxin understood faster.

Jiang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

The Alphard first sent his master, Wu Jun, home, and then sent Jiang Yuan home.

Returning to the Jiang Village residential area, the small square was bustling with noise.

Women don't dance square dances, men don't drink in the morning and evening, it's a peaceful atmosphere.

"What are you doing today?" Jiang Yuan has been away for a long time and doesn't know what new tricks there are in the village now.

Jiang Yongxin chuckled: "I thought you knew. You specially chose to come back today. Today is folding gold and silver."

Folding gold and silver is a ritual of manually folding gold ingots and gold bars and burning them for the ancestors below.

The old men and old ladies in Jiang Village have nothing to do every day, so they will come up with various activities. It is also burning ingots for ancestors, and Jiang Village is popular for folding them themselves.

Of course, many villages like to fold them themselves, thinking that doing so is more effective and more pious.

"Do you fold?" Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Yongxin.

"Fold. My grandfather is still waiting below, maybe he wants to buy a tractor or something." Jiang Yongxin said casually.

Jiang Yuan also smiled: "Then go fold. My grandfather also wanted to buy a cow back then."

After Jiang Yongxin parked the car, the two went to the small square together, found a table and chair to sit down, and picked up the gold paper on the table to fold.

The gold paper was bought by the village committee. After folding, you can take it home, or leave it on the table.

People in the village are in a state of folding when they want to fold, folding for a while, and leaving when they want to leave.

In some families, the husband and wife take turns coming. One tutors the child's homework, and when they are angry, they come over to fold gold ingots for a while, and change the other to be angry. The interval of the couple's anger is the child's rest period.

Jiang Yuan's father, Jiangfuzhen, was cooking meat in the big kitchen as usual.

The meaty fragrance of "bubbling" flew out along the wind tunnel. Jiang Yuan smelled that familiar smell and knew his father was inside.

The spice formula used by others, as well as the time for cooking meat, are different from Jiangfuzhen's, and the smell is also different.

After a while, Jiangfuzhen, like a real chef, walked over with a towel in one hand.

"Dad." Jiang Yuan saw him and called out first.

"Back." Jiangfuzhen was also clumsy in front of the villagers, sat down beside Jiang Yuan, and then said: "By the way, I bought a newspaper with you."

"Newspaper?"

"'Qinghe Evening News', hey, isn't there one on this table?" Jiangfuzhen flipped through the gold paper for a while, and there was indeed a newspaper underneath: "Just this one."

Jiang Yuan leaned over to look, and saw the headline in the lower half of the newspaper, which read: "Young Wu Wu Fa Yi Glimpses the Trail of the Murder Demon King"...

"This headline..."

"This headline is quite good, it has attraction, so everyone is willing to read it." Jiangfuzhen said: "I bought 1000 copies, free for everyone to read."

Jiang Yuan smiled as expected. As long as his father didn't run to every house and stuff it in, this could be considered a subtle show-off.

Think about it, before there were Moments, when someone in the village had a good thing, they had to notify every house.

From this point of view, Moments fully improved the efficiency of showing off and saved everyone's time, although the saved time was useless.

However, for things like being in the newspaper, just using Moments still seemed not solemn enough.

Jiangfuzhen bought food newspapers and gave them away for free, which seemed relatively reasonable.

"There is another thing." Jiangfuzhen coughed a few times, pulled someone from behind, and said: "This is your Uncle Yushan, remember?"

"Hello, Uncle Yushan." Jiang Yuan naturally remembered.

Compared to a close cousin like the seventeenth uncle, this kind of Uncle Yushan is one layer further away, equivalent to the two having different great-grandfathers, but the same great-great-grandfather.

If you call it by blood relationship, it should be called a cousin, but now no one calls it that.

And Uncle Yushan's son, and Jiang Yuan's relationship is a clan brother, which is the fifth service in the five services. However, because they are in the same village, Jiang Yuan is more familiar with this clan brother.

"Your Uncle Yushan has a matter, want to ask you for help." Jiangfuzhen said, and asked Jiang Yushan, who was a bit embarrassed beside him: "You say, or I say."

"You say it." Jiang Yushan seemed a bit inarticulate.

"Alright." Jiangfuzhen pulled Jiang Yushan to sit down and said: "Your uncle lent a sum of money to someone, now the person has run away, the money can't be asked back, your uncle also reported to the police, no news, want you to help find it."

He said it quickly and clearly, and Jiang Yushan nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Yuan nodded and asked subconsciously: "Is the person dead?"

Jiangfuzhen sighed: "It would be better if he were dead, your Uncle Yushan wouldn't be so entangled."

Jiang Yushan nodded.

"So, now is it to find the person, or find his money?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Find the person." Jiang Yushan said affirmatively: "This person is a liar, the police also said he is a liar, but he can't be found."

Jiang Yuan nodded, didn't wait to speak, but a system interface popped up in front of him:

Task: Find someone

Task content: A qualified forensic doctor can find people (alive/corpse) through various details.
