Chapter 421: Ending

Jiang Yuan was grilling beef slices.

The meat slices were very thin, cut personally by the "Beef Immortal" at the Ningtai County Central Vegetable Market—more than ten years ago, before Jiangfuzhen had made a name for itself, he was just an ordinary beef stall owner. Later, because Jiangfuzhen bought so much, the most hardworking and persistent beef stall owner in the vegetable market gradually evolved into a meat-cutting artisan. In recent years, as his hair turned gray, he already had the aura of a Beef Immortal.

A person who cuts meat every day, after more than ten years, the meat cut is absolutely uniform in thickness and appropriate in fat and lean. Grabbing a piece of beef, the direction and angle of the slices naturally emerge in his heart, and the formed meat slices will also be as he imagined.

This realm was also nourished by the increasingly picky appetites of the hundreds and thousands of people in Jiang Village.

Thin, nearly 90% lean beef, placed on a piping hot cast-iron pan with only a tiny bit of oil, made only a subtle "sizzle." Then, one could see the red, tender meat slices quickly turning pink. After holding for two seconds, the clock began to show some gray.

At this time, flipping the meat slices over, it only took one or two seconds before they could be clipped into the bowl to be eaten.

At this time, the meat slices were basically fully cooked, and because of the time and thinness, they were incredibly tender. Moreover, unlike the tenderness brought by intramuscular fat in steak, the small meat slices were fully cooked and fully lean. It was the muscle fibers being cut and the protein denaturing that made them tender. The taste was slightly different, but the deliciousness was not inferior to steak at all.

Because there was very little fat, one wouldn't feel greasy even after eating a lot of such beef slices.

Jiang Yuan saw Yu Wenshu coming, so he first clipped the freshly cooked meat slices from the pan, ate them, and then took a sip of apple cider vinegar before saying: "Deputy Detachment Chief Yu? Have you eaten? Come over and have some?"

He looked quite polite and easygoing, while Yu Wenshu's brain seemed to be in another space.

Originally, he was prepared to praise Jiang Yuan, because of his arduous, excellent, and hard-working efforts, and his remarkable achievements. Originally, he was prepared to bleed heavily and go investigate with Xu Taining. Originally, he was overwhelmed by the case.

His thoughts were still drifting in the long river of time, but Yu Wenshu's body had arrived at the office of Jiang Yuan, who was grilling meat very skillfully.

Yu Wenshu didn't know how to express his current mood.

Li Ting held up the microphone and asked: "Is this our police officer Jiang Yuan?"

As a reporter, she wasn't afraid of weirdos. Even if Jiang Yuan was grilling a whole corpse in the office, she would film it first and then figure out how to lure him into talking...

Jiang Yuan noticed the camera, put down his chopsticks, smiled and nodded, and then asked: "If you want to chat, let's sit down and chat. Please turn off the camera. I have some evidence in here that is not suitable for filming."

The only evidence he had in here was nails, but he still had meat in his pan, and eating under the camera felt uncomfortable.

Moreover, eating meat in the office was like fortune-telling in the office; neither was suitable for public conduct.

"Turn it off first." Yu Wenshu sat down opposite Jiang Yuan, sighed, and said: "Why are you grilling meat?"

"I haven't eaten for a day and a night." Jiang Yuan took a set of bowls and chopsticks for Yu Wenshu, and pointed to a glass bottle next to him: "Inside is the dipping sauce, dry seasoning, it tastes better with it. If you don't like it, just eat the original flavor."

Yu Wenshu was stunned: "You haven't eaten for a day and a night?"

"Yeah, calculating that it should be the fourth crime, the last day, so I just went all out." Jiang Yuan stuffed another large piece of meat into his mouth, his face full of happiness.

Yu Wenshu's face showed embarrassment.

Li Ting deliberately asked a stupid question: "Why don't you eat? Taking time to eat something shouldn't take too long, right?"

"Eating affects judgment, and efficiency will become lower." Jiang Yuan answered simply, then turned to get bowls and chopsticks for Li Ting and the cameraman, and smiled: "Fortunately, I bought a lot of meat. I was starving, so I bought a lot at once. You can eat with peace of mind."

As he spoke, he carefully clipped the beef from the basin one by one and laid them flat on the grill.

Sizzle.

Sizzle.

The sound of grilling meat made the office feel warm.

Jiang Yuan turned the fan-style range hood next to him to the maximum setting, and the smell of grilled meat was whooshed out the window.

"The meat from this boss is all Angus beef, the quality is very good, try it." Jiang Yuan only persuaded once before flipping the meat himself and eating.

As far as grilling meat is concerned, Angus beef is almost the most suitable. The fat content of Wagyu is too high, it is only suitable for eating a little bit, and it might be more fragrant with rice.

As for Chinese cattle breeds, because traditional agricultural needs are dual-purpose for meat and livestock, they are not that delicious, which is actually a matter of course—some creatures on this continent are not grown to be eaten or to be perfectly eaten, which is not a shameful thing, and there is no need to dwell on it. What is mentioned here is not the fat-prone constitution.

Jiang Yuan grilled the meat very seriously. It could be seen that he was really hungry, so he focused on eating meat and had no interest in the reporter and the detachment chief.

Li Ting wanted to start a topic and let Jiang Yuan talk about the story of the nails, but she didn't get a response.

Turning her head again, the cameraman silently straightened the bowls and chopsticks and took the initiative to help grill the meat.

The aroma of meat overflowed.

Just eat.

The four people each had reasons for not wanting to talk, and only the action of grilling meat was enthusiastic and straightforward.

A basin of meat easily hit the bottom. Jiang Yuan tore open two more bags of vacuum-packed beef and poured them into the basin, continuing to use tongs to spread them on the pan to grill.

When this basin of meat was almost eaten, a system prompt appeared before Jiang Yuan's eyes:

Task completed: Nail gun murder case.

Task content: The deaths of 3 consecutive victims made Yu Wenshu anxious and uneasy. In order to solve this case, he would do anything, seize the opportunity!

Task reward: Vehicle trace identification, lv3.

Jiang Yuan's fatigue was almost swept away.

Vehicle trace identification is naturally an extremely useful skill. Although the skill level of lv3 is not very high, it is definitely enough.

On the other hand, this also shows that the killer has been caught.

At the same time, Yu Wenshu's phone rang.

"Caught him. Tricked him out to pick up a package, and then pinned him down." On the phone, the joy of the criminal police was undisguised.

This case tugged at everyone's heartstrings, and everyone knew the consequences of not being able to solve the case in time.

"Well done." Yu Wenshu also stood up excitedly and asked: "Was the murder weapon found? Was the nail gun found?"

"Found it. He was worshipping it at home." The other end of the phone paused, then continued: "Also found his crime plan, there are more than ten pages of paper. This kid is really desperate to kill. According to the plan, he was supposed to go to Jinniaoling to kill people the day after tomorrow."

Yu Wenshu frowned slightly. Jinniaoling was still a bit far away. If he killed people there again, it would really be blooming everywhere in Changyang City.

"It's good that he was caught. It's good that he was caught." Yu Wenshu breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "No one was hurt, right?"

"Uh."

"Someone was hurt?" Yu Wenshu was startled. Didn't they say it was easy to pin him down?

"Sort of. Not seriously hurt, minor injuries."

"That's good, that's good." Yu Wenshu repeated it twice and asked: "Who was hurt?"

"That... it's Mu Zhiyang, who was brought over by Jiang Yuan."

Yu Wenshu's mind immediately flashed with several figures nursing injuries, and he asked: "How did he get hurt?"

The criminal police on the other end of the phone seemed to laugh, and then said: "When we were making the arrest, Mu Zhiyang wasn't even nearby. Someone bumped into the shelf at the express delivery point, and a package fell from above and hit Mu Zhiyang, causing some bleeding. It doesn't look like a serious injury, just a skin injury."

Yu Wenshu gasped secretly. What kind of luck is this? Even if the package was a little lighter or hit a little crooked, it wouldn't have caused an injury.

However, since he was already injured, Yu Wenshu naturally couldn't say these things, and only said: "Write it clearly in the report, it counts as being injured on duty." ===== CHAPTER 422 =====
