Chapter 381

Knock, knock.

Mu Mu Zhiyang returned to the second floor of the forensic building and knocked gently. In the last few days, Jiang Yuan had basically been living at the funeral home. The funeral home is a public institution with good benefits, and they basically all have their own dormitories provided long-term to employees from other places or employees who haven't bought a house. However, because everyone wasn't very willing to live there long-term, there were always vacancies. Jiang Yuan asked someone, and it was very easy to be assigned one.

For him, living in Luyang City and running back and forth was not as good as staying at the funeral home and doing the work a forensic doctor should do.

These two days, there were also new bodies sent to the funeral home—Zhang Hai was also confessing his burial locations. "Come in." Jiang Yuan's voice came out, and Mu Mu Zhiyang gently turned the doorknob.

The second floor of the forensic building was full of sunlight, especially this room on the south side. When the curtains were pulled open, it was as bright as a classroom. The bones, samples, and scattered parts stored in the room were also as quiet as a group of model students.

Mu Mu Zhiyang pushed the door open and saw two rows of evidence cabinets against the wall storing bones and samples, as well as the black yoga mat spread in the middle, the sunlight on the yoga mat, and... Jiang Yuan in a horse stance!

Jiang Yuan, whose height far exceeded 185, with his long legs and high-raised hands, facing the sunlight, looked as primitive as a sculpture...

Mu Mu Zhiyang felt a bit uncomfortable, covering his eyes as if he couldn't bear the intensity of the sunlight, and said, "Team Leader Jiang... I was almost shot and injured two days ago!"

Jiang Yuan put away the horse stance, sat cross-legged on the yoga mat, and sighed softly.

Wang Wang Leqin's legacy gave him LV2 Yoga. It wasn't particularly strong, but it already counted as professional level, roughly the level that an ordinary person would need to practice for several years, or even ten years, to train.

From this perspective, Wang Wang Leqin had talent in yoga or dance. However, she likely never had the opportunity to showcase this talent. Perhaps, during her initial physical transactions, she could have utilized this skill, but no matter what choice she made, fate was not fair to her.

Conversely, what Jiang Yuan obtained was often very unfair as well.

For this reason, he didn't even want to go to the police team to watch their interrogation of the three killers.

Zhang Hai and Chen Chen Youdi were vulgar, lonely, stupid, greedy, lustful cowards! Tian Xiang was a bit younger and smarter, but other than that, he was no different from the other two in essence.

Judging from what they were confessing now, the force that initially brought the three people together was actually saving money!

Tian Xiang and Chen Chen Youdi weren't too short of money. Zhang Hai didn't have much money, but going to cheap places, his salary was enough. However, in order to save money and also to satisfy their personal special hobbies, they decided to ignore the lives of others.

A sign of a civilized person is not whether they can give up personal interests, but that they will not disregard the interests of others or public interests for the sake of trivial personal interests.

"Did you find the data?" Jiang Yuan looked up at Mu Mu Zhiyang.

"Oh, found it." Mu Mu Zhiyang hurriedly handed over the printout in his hand and said, "The conditions aren't very good. When I called, some people didn't even want to come over to collect the remains. The one with the worst conditions is this Cai Yan, who is No. 4. She has a little child who should be in elementary school now. She has always left her to her sister to raise, but her sister's conditions aren't good either. She also divorced two years ago and has another child herself. She has to work and raise the children at the same time; it should be quite difficult."

"Where is the person?" Jiang Yuan asked directly. "Ah... in Miaohe County." Mu Mu Zhiyang said hurriedly. "Not in her hometown either?"

"With all the gossip, she probably couldn't stay." Mu Mu Zhiyang also felt a trace of sympathy. Her younger sister was doing flesh trade outside. After a long time, there would always be rumors going back. She herself was divorced and raising two children, and life in her hometown was difficult. It was likely very hard to hear people say anything nice.

"Then let's go to Miaohe County and take a look." Jiang Yuan said. Mu Mu Zhiyang was stunned: "This... what are we going to do?" "Take a look. If there's anything we can help with, we'll help." Jiang Yuan flipped through Wang Wang Leqin's data again. Her parents had passed away a long time ago, and she had no other immediate family members around. Therefore, going to Miaohe County, where Cai Yan's sister was, was currently the most direct choice.

Although it might be simpler to just give money, and perhaps the expenses would be smaller, given the current emotions, Jiang Yuan was more willing to go to Miaohe County to take a look.

Mu Mu Zhiyang was a bit lost and couldn't help but say, "Is the whole group going? Should we find a case or something? Otherwise, for reimbursement..."

"No need for that many. Just the two of us... well, bring two more people, it'll be safer." Jiang Yuan arranged it and added, "As for the others in the team, leave a few people to continue following the 805 Case, and let the others take a vacation."

Seeing that Jiang Yuan had decided, Mu Mu Zhiyang had no choice but to go and pass on the orders.

Two hours later.

Just as Jiang Yuan had readjusted his emotions, set up the yoga mat, and started the horse stance, the office door was pushed open again.

Jiang Yuan couldn't even be bothered to turn his head to look. Originally, the forensic office was a place where no one came, not to mention the office door had been closed. Back in the day, Master Wu Jun would burn yellow paper, boil red eggs, and worship Director Guan Gong in the office, and no one would come in to take a look. When it came to him, he was just trying to practice yoga to calm his mood, and as a result, he was constantly being disturbed.

"Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang!" Detachment Leader Zheng Zheng Tianxin, along with Political Commissar Zhou Zhou Yuanqiang, broke into the forensic building of the funeral home together. The two had discussed many arguments on the way, but seeing Jiang Yuan's posture facing the sunset, both were suddenly speechless.

"Detachment Leader Zheng..." Jiang Yuan exhaled slowly: "The case should be fine, right?"

If there was a problem with the case, Zheng Zheng Tianxin would definitely have called first.

Theoretically, by this point in the case, all three killers had been brought to justice, and Jiang Yuan's work was completed.

Zheng Zheng Tianxin understood Jiang Yuan's meaning, and looking at his appearance, he gave a bitter smile: "Wu Wu Fa Yi Jiang, my Team Leader Jiang... why are you leaving as soon as you say you're going? The 805 Case has just ended. At least rest for two more days. We have time now, and we can fulfill the duties of a host."

Zhou Zhou Yuanqiang also said: "We were too busy before, didn't even have time to eat a meal. Team Leader Jiang, stay for two more days."

Jiang Yuan helplessly finished his work, stood up, put on his shoes silently, and then asked: "Do you still have cases in your hands?"

"Cases... there are definitely plenty." Zheng Zheng Tianxin gave a dry laugh. He didn't expect Jiang Yuan to be so direct.

Zhou Zhou Yuanqiang chimed in: "The 805 Case was delayed for too long. The cold cases we have stored in our hands are actually quite numerous. If you could lead the team and stay for a while longer, that would be even better."

"It's not up to me." Jiang Yuan said: "You have to talk to Bureau Chief Huang and Bureau Chief Chai. We were supposed to return to the team after finishing the 805 Case here."

"Talking is no problem. We are very familiar with Bureau Chief Chai." Zheng Zheng Tianxin's awkward expression flashed and disappeared, and he added: "However, there's no need to come and go. I'll call Bureau Chief Chai right now. Team Leader Jiang, don't be in a hurry to leave. Let's have a drink together tonight. The case was perfectly solved; let's be happy."

Jiang Yuan declined a few times but still agreed. The 805 Case was indeed successfully concluded. Having a gathering before leaving was also normal socializing.

Zhou Zhou Yuanqiang didn't dare to hesitate, urging Zheng Zheng Tianxin to make the call while mobilizing vehicles, arranging restaurants, and so on.

The members of Jiang Yuan's cold case task force were all present. Except for the slightly tedious process of urging drinks, the dinner was generally satisfactory.

Jiang Yuan also drank half a jin of alcohol, distributed a few packs of Soft Zhonghua cigarettes to everyone, and his emotions were greatly relieved.

For a case like 805, even for an old criminal police officer, following it from beginning to end would lower one's mood by three grades.

By comparison, Zheng Zheng Tianxin and Zhou Zhou Yuanqiang had followed the case longer, but the joy of success outweighed the cruelty of the case.

The only thing that caused a bit of emotional fluctuation for them was the attitude of the Ningtai County Bureau and the request for Jiang Yuan to continue staying.

The two drank more, discussing with their arms around each other's shoulders. As they were talking, they saw Mei Fang running over in a panic: "It's bad, Xu Xu Xuewu and Old Qian Mingyu have intercepted Jiang Yuan downstairs."

"Xu Xu Xuewu?" Zheng Zheng Tianxin stood up straight immediately. Xu Xu Xuewu was the captain of the Miaohe County Criminal Police Brigade. He wasn't familiar with Zheng Zheng Tianxin, but they knew each other.

Zhou Zhou Yuanqiang asked one more question: "Who is Old Qian Mingyu?" Mei Fang said: "He is a fingerprint expert in Miaohe County. He definitely knows Jiang Yuan."

"This is coming to snatch people!" Zheng Zheng Tianxin finally came to his senses, slapping his thigh in anger. It hurt, so he limped downstairs.

Those who heard followed in a swarm. Jiang Yuan's cold case task force was so useful that everyone wanted to use it for a while longer.
