Chapter 410: Negotiated

Noon the next day.

Conference room.

While Jiang Yuan's cold case task force was having a meeting, Huang Huang Qiangmin called.

"Jiang Yuan, you guys just stay there with peace of mind. If you don't want to stay, you can come back. Don't worry about that stingy Hou Hou Lejia. Homicide! He dares to do it himself now; he must be out of his mind!" Huang Huang Qiangmin shouted loudly, not afraid of anyone hearing.

Or rather, he was intentionally letting people hear a bit.

Jiang Yuan found it a bit funny and said, "They used to do homicides themselves too."

"Then look at their results." Huang Huang Qiangmin hummed proudly and said, "In short, don't worry about them. You have so many cases in your own hands; if you have time, do the cases in your hands first. It only takes a few hours to fly to the capital now. We can't just run over to do it for people just because there's a homicide in the capital; that makes no sense."

"That's true." Jiang Yuan had been selling his services outside for a long time, so sometimes he didn't pay much attention to the issue of jurisdiction. To be honest, most of the links in this were smoothed out by Huang Huang Qiangmin.

"In short, if the case is simple, Hou the Stingy can do it himself; he doesn't need us. If the case is complicated, we aren't his parents; we can't spoil him for a lifetime." Huang Huang Qiangmin said loudly: "Just see if he comes to us again later."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yuan agreed with Huang Huang Qiangmin.

If the case is simple and he doesn't need his help, it's meaningless for him to force help. Moreover, criminal cases are different from ordinary company projects; there are quite a few things to do later. Sometimes cases that look very simple to the police cause a lot of trouble after being sent for prosecution.

And if you want to pursue the lethal dose, the procedure for death penalty approval is also very strict. Just the evidence review part has very high requirements, and situations where investigations happen again a few years later occur from time to time.

Therefore, if the case is simple, Jiang Yuan really doesn't need to crowd into the crime scene.

He has plenty of his own cases now, and he can pick and choose. Compared to the cooperation during the case and the investment in the case, distance is really not a problem.

Watching Jiang Yuan hang up the phone, Wang Wang Chuanxing said, "The three teams sent by Captain Hou haven't returned. It's been from yesterday afternoon until now; they probably aren't planning to call anyone back."

Tang Jia asked, "Didn't call anyone back?"

"No." Wang Wang Chuanxing said affirmatively: "I heard that the progress in Kangzhou is quite good, the case isn't very complicated, and Captain Hou probably wants to solve this case."

If he can smoothly solve this cold case, Hou Hou Lejia naturally doesn't want to create extra trouble.

Not to mention that calling back the people just sent out makes him look indecisive, traveling back and forth for hundreds of kilometers is also exhausting, and he's afraid they won't be usable for a day or two.

And for homicides now, the most important thing is the first 24 hours.

Furthermore, calling back too few people isn't enough, and calling back too many might affect the Shang siblings' case. Similarly, calling back elites isn't appropriate, and not calling back elites is meaningless.

In the final analysis, Longli County didn't have the ability to fight on two fronts, let alone one long-range deployment and one local operation.

Hou Hou Lejia just wants to have his cake and eat it too. He knows it's unlikely, but he's just stingy and wants to try his luck.

Huang Huang Qiangmin naturally won't spoil him.

Even saying that, Huang Huang Qiangmin might not necessarily support Longli County's case. Just as he said, there are so many cases in the world, and he isn't Hou Hou Lejia's parent; he can't take over his work.

Jiang Yuan basically understood Huang Huang Qiangmin's train of thought, and he didn't care much.

The difficulty of current cases and cold cases is incomparable, especially cold homicide cases, which can be said to start at Level 3. Occasionally, there is a Level 2.5 cold case, which is a special situation.

But for current homicide cases, the most common ones are actually Level 0.5 cases, where you send a team over, and there are fingerprints if you want fingerprints, DNA if you want DNA, and the murder weapon is also left at the scene, occasionally accompanied by surveillance outside the residential area to perfect the chain of evidence.

Of course, Level 0.1 cases

can also be seen. Such as those who surrender, those who sit in the crime scene, those who conspire with others and offend their accomplices...

Jiang Yuan is now well-equipped, has technology in hand, and has sufficient manpower, so he really tends to prefer some big cases.

Of course, big cases don't necessarily mean more people sent in, and small cases don't necessarily mean fewer people sent in.

"Let's eat something good at noon." Jiang Yuan announced the end of the meeting.

With the end of the 503 case in Anhai City, for Jiang Yuan's cold case task force, the only thing that still needs a little attention is the Shang siblings' case, but this case doesn't need to be done by task force members. So, practically speaking, Jiang Yuan's cold case task force has entered a rare rest period.

As for the length of this rest period, it is basically decided by Huang Huang Qiangmin, perhaps with the participation of Director Chai.

Dong Bing said, "I asked this morning, Longli County recently opened a snail fish restaurant with quite unique characteristics. Do you want to try it?"

"Snail fish?"

"It is said to be fish cooked with snail powder seasoning." Dong Bing looked forward to it.

"I'm okay with it. Is there anyone who doesn't eat snail powder?" Jiang Yuan looked around.

A group of rough men didn't say anything. When working as criminal police, when squatting, some even eat stinky foot-smelling noodles with old altar pickled cabbage—the stinky foot smell here is added later, because everyone is huddled in the car for a long time, and not many people wear shoes properly.

Not being able to smell the stinky foot smell, or rather, smelling the master's stinky foot smell, is considered an introductory course for criminal police. Those who don't like snail powder can just treat it as eating the master's grilled fish.

Li's Snail Fish Restaurant.

Entering the door, you can see a large fish pond, and above the fish pond, there are the words "Li's Spotted Fish Restaurant."

A group of criminal police with super-strong vigilance immediately looked at the employees in the store.

The waiter responsible for ordering food said calmly, "Our store used to be called Li's Spotted Fish Restaurant, but later we changed the project, and now it's called Snail Fish Restaurant. Do you want to eat spotted fish or black fish?"

"Spotted fish, bring a few more." Shen Shen Yaowei took the initiative to help order food.

Everyone sat at several tables in a large private room, talking and chatting, and soon it became lively.

The snail fish was served, and a thick, stinky smell of sour bamboo shoots hit their faces.

The snail powder soup, cooking tender spotted fish meat, is not only Q-bouncy and refreshing, but the taste is also a sour and spicy taste similar to snail powder, which is very appetizing.

Those who like rice pour the yellow-red thick soup over the rice, one bite of fish slices and one bite of rice, which is very comfortable.

"Bring a few more fish, bring 10 more fish." Jiang Yuan also felt it was delicious and immediately ordered another wave.

Although in terms of total quantity, it might be a bit too much, everyone still tried their best to finish it.

"Better than instant snail powder." Tang Jia ate half a bowl of rice more, touched her stomach with regret, and summarized: "Freshly cooked snail powder, especially the taste of these sour bamboo shoots, is very sufficient, and the taste of the fish is also good... The spotted fish is cut so thin, it's really good..."

"That's right, and its sour taste is added with lime and tomatoes, but you can't see these two things, which is especially comfortable."

"These sour bamboo shoots are also stinky and comfortable." "It's stinky and has unique characteristics."

"Indeed, the smell is very strong, but it's different from other stinky smells." Jiang Yuan took a sip of soup and felt very refreshed.

Those who like the smell of sour bamboo shoots and those who don't like the smell of sour bamboo shoots all fell silent.

"Alright, call the waiter to pay the bill, everyone can do whatever they want in the afternoon." Jiang Yuan, as a forensic doctor, was never surprised by other people's silence about food.

As the saying goes, only after seeing the colorful black can you see the colorful white. Only by spending days and nights in the autopsy room can you enjoy the various forms in the kitchen.

Without the thousands of words of chatting on WeChat, where would the sweating on Valentine's Day come from?

"Going back." Jiang Yuan took out his mobile phone to pay.

The boss came over with a smile at this time and said, "Captain Jiang, the money here has already been paid by someone."

Jiang Yuan frowned: "No need for others to pay, we pay ourselves."

He is a policeman; he can't take a needle or a thread from others. The people of Jiang Village don't need it either.

Hou Hou Lejia pushed the door in with a smile at this time.

"Captain Jiang, I just happened to pass by. This meal for the brothers is on the brigade. Just drink and play well in Longli County!" Hou Hou Lejia laughed loudly.

Looking at Hou Hou Lejia's sincere smile, Jiang Yuan knew that he must have negotiated with Director Huang. ===== CHAPTER 411 =====
