Chapter 499: Vacation

Returning in triumph, Jiang Yuan and the others were directly given a long vacation.

The case still needed to be investigated, including the Jianyuan gang members on the run, as well as the uncaptured criminal suspects in the two drug trafficking gangs, the number of which had to be at least in the double digits. Including upstream and downstream clues and relationships—if it weren't for the involvement of the Jianyuan Group, especially Jianyuan's chemical plant, the investigation scope could have been expanded even further.

Besides that, there might be some related persons inside and outside the case. Some just needed to be questioned and that was it, while others needed to be arrested and dealt with. But regardless, the main body of the case was basically completed. The follow-up might last for a year or two, but there was no need for the special task force to maintain its current scale and state.

Jiang Yuan returned to the police station, first got some meat filling and vegetable filling from the kitchen, wrapped them in breadcrumbs, and made rock-hard dog snacks, each in the shape of a fist-sized bone.

The meat filling was hand-chopped, with high stickiness. While mainly pork leg meat, a little shrimp meat was added, and finally, a whole egg was beaten into it. The proportions of each item were quite particular.

The dog snacks were made slightly harder, but the taste was not inferior at all, just right at the balance point that dogs liked most.

Dazhuang drooled while chewing the dog snack, feeling so good it wanted to roll on the ground.

"The remaining dog snacks, you can eat at most three a day. See if it's as a reward or for fixed consumption." Jiang Yuan put them into a food box the size of a dog's head and handed it to Li Li.

Li Li hurriedly thanked him, took it in her hand, hesitated for a moment, opened the lid, and smelled it.

The bone snack in Dazhuang's mouth hadn't been chewed up yet, but its head was already poking over.

Li Li pushed its head away: "Don't worry, can I still eat your snacks?"

Dazhuang stared at the bone snack in Li Li's hand until it saw her nose and mouth leave, and it was far away, before it felt a bit relieved and continued to chew its own.

"You fool, I'll taste it, and then I can learn to make it for you later?" Li Li was embarrassed to eat it and couldn't help but slap the dog's head.

Dazhuang whimpered, didn't even turn its head, just acting as if it had been hit by a dog.

Jiang Yuan kindly touched the Rottweiler's head and added: "When we return to Ningtai, I'll find time to make another dog meal for Dazhuang. I've learned something new recently."

"Great, great." Li Li nodded excitedly, then felt a bit embarrassed, turned her A4 waist, and said: "I mean, Dazhuang will be especially happy."

"Dazhuang did a good job this time." Jiang Yuan smiled and touched the dog's head.

It was the same chemical plant odor, and in the end, there were only four police dogs that could persist in the search work. Dazhuang was able to unswervingly follow the underground passage and find Yuan Yushan, which was quite difficult. It deserved to eat the LV5 dog meal.

Later, when he went to work, Jiang Yuan could try to make an LV6 dog meal. Compared to other skills, the effect of this skill could be considered immediate. It could be used as a reference.

Watching Dazhuang finish the snacks, Jiang Yuan teased Dazhuang for a while before going back.

Ordinary people wanting to play with police dogs wouldn't work; they were all strictly trained. But Dazhuang had shown its belly to Jiang Yuan, so could Li Li stop it?

The next day.

Jiang Yuan returned home and finally ended the previous wave of tasks.

Task completed: Rounding up

Task content: Capture as many members of the Huang Li drug trafficking gang as possible.

Task progress: 96%

Task reward: Forensic Botany (LV3)

The task progress finally increased by 4 points, which could be considered progress.

For such a large gang, there were always people working outside. Those who weren't caught at the time would only become harder to catch as time went on.

The obtained LV3 Forensic Botany skill made Jiang Yuan feel a bit unfamiliar.

Speaking of things like forensic pathology, those were things Jiang Yuan had learned to the point of waste when he was studying, and there were many daily times and applications.

But for "Forensic Botany," Jiang Yuan had actually only heard the name when he was studying.

Don't look at the word 'forensic' in front of its name; in fact, botany is botany, and for forensic medicine, it is equivalent to a separate discipline.

Those who understand it aren't necessarily forensic doctors, and forensic doctors who don't understand it... are normal forensic doctors.

That said, in criminal investigation, cold skills aren't necessarily a bad thing.

The policy has always tended toward this, especially in the early years, when many criminal investigation materials would write words like "internal use only." Even now, technical investigation is accustomed to using various numerical codes.

Theoretically, a world where only criminal investigation personnel master criminal investigation skills might be easier to solve cases. It's like if DNA skills were only known to certain people, then 99% of rapists and murderers in the world would be caught, and they wouldn't know why.

However, in a perfect, ideal world, there will inevitably be some strange hitches. Suppose that under certain special circumstances, a special skill overflows...

In short, forensic botany is a very obscure skill, even for criminal investigation personnel.

As for its scope of application, it's not necessarily narrow.

Jiang Yuan studied it, but didn't have the idea of starting a new case in the short term.

This wave of cases was still a bit tiring, especially the appearance of two consecutive drug trafficking gangs, which put quite a lot of pressure on Jiang Yuan.

Returning home, Jiang Yuan fell asleep.

Waiting until he woke up, it was a new day. He had actually slept for a day and a night.

Jiang Yuan got out of bed barefoot, went out of the room, and smelled a scent of smoke.

In the kitchen, the big firewood pot was boiling something, and in the small room next to it, the incense for Guan Erye was flourishing.

Jiang Yuan thought about it and went over to burn a stick of incense for Guan Erye.

This time, being able to return safely and unharmed was all thanks to the drug traffickers not being united. If they had encountered a gang that didn't want their lives and had to fight to the end, Jiang Yuan and the others would also be very dangerous.

Being a criminal police officer is different from being a soldier. Normally, life is relatively guaranteed. Most criminal police officers don't necessarily fire a gun outside in their whole lives.

What is truly dangerous is the unknown danger.

After offering incense, Jiang Yuan opened the window to let the air out, and when he came out, he saw his father, Comrade Jiangfuzhen, looking at him with relief.

"Dad." Jiang Yuan felt inexplicably embarrassed.

"Very good, you should burn incense when you should." Jiangfuzhen laughed, then changed the subject: "The red eggs your master mentioned, I've steamed them for you. Just take them out for breakfast. They're in that steel pot."

"Oh." Jiang Yuan replied and went to the big pot to get the eggs.

The steel pot used at home is the same model as the pot used to boil corpses in the unit. They are both bucket-shaped, the size of a baby's bath.

Jiang Yuan lifted the lid and saw that there was indeed a large plate of eggs... and an ostrich egg.

The ostrich egg was also painted red, but no matter how much it was painted Martian red, it couldn't hide its origin. It was now a red ostrich egg!

"Dad, red eggs and red ostrich eggs are still a bit different." Jiang Yuan mainly didn't like the taste of ostrich eggs, and besides, the portion was too sufficient, and it was hard to eat.

"Give the big ostrich egg to your Uncle Qiang. He hasn't eaten this kind yet. How long can you stay at home this time?"

"I can stay for a few more days."

"Is the big case done?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and didn't speak. The progress of the case was not suitable for leakage. Besides, there was no need to tell his father.

Jiangfuzhen also realized it, laughed twice, and said: "It's quite decent. Then what do you plan to do in these few days? Should our family hold a banquet?"

Holding a banquet means inviting guests to eat. If the Jiang family holds a banquet, Jiangfuzhen will be the chef. It will be held in the village, find a reason, and invite all the villagers to have a meal.

In this, the most headache-inducing thing is finding a reason.

Jiang Yuan waved his hand: "I don't have a request to hold a banquet. I'm going to practice wrestling with Uncle Qiang."

When Jiangfuzhen heard this, it could be considered a serious matter, so he agreed and added: "Holding a banquet won't delay it either. Let me think, what solar term is it in the next few days?" ===== CHAPTER 500 =====
