Chapter 524: Coming from afar

The plane landed at Luojin Airport late at night.

Jiang Yuan left the house the morning before, flew for half a day, then worked for a day, and then flew back in half a day, taking a total of two days. The work during this period was also at full capacity.

Arriving in Luojin City, Jiang Yuan had nowhere to go, so he booked a hotel room next to the airport and slept until dawn.

Early morning.

Returning to the Luojin City Bureau, in the temporary conference room, a group of leaders were already waiting.

Clap clap clap...

The applause was continuous.

The director walked up with a smile, held Jiang Yuan's hand tightly, and said, "Welcome back, Jiang Yuan, you've worked hard. The Malayan side has a very high evaluation of you, and the Ministry has also written a letter... Our Luojin City Bureau also feels honored..."

He was a good talker, and in two or three sentences, he linked Luojin City with Jiang Yuan. If it weren't for Huang Qiangmin, an ordinary technician would have been overwhelmed by now.

Jiang Yuan didn't need to worry about this now. Before coming, Huang Qiangmin had already instructed him to focus on showing respect.

Jiang Yuan cooperated to show respect. After the directors finished speaking, he approached Captain Pang Jidong and said, "Detachment Leader Pang, how have you been resting these past few days?"

Captain Pang Jidong's inner thighs couldn't help but tremble. The elegant way to say it was that his legs were shaking. He whispered, "I've been resting okay. That... Bao Wenxing should be sent for inspection soon."

There were four rape cases domestically and three abroad, combined with one murder case. Just counting the domestic part, the probability of Bao Wenxing being sentenced to life imprisonment or even death was very high. He had multiple aggravating circumstances involved. Even if he was lucky and wasn't sentenced to death, after his sentence ended, he would have to go to Malaysia to continue serving his sentence.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan no longer needed to care about Bao Wenxing.

Jiang Yuan also said, "Bao Wenxing's case is over. Shall we continue with the next case?"

"Okay." Captain Pang Jidong naturally agreed and asked, "What case?"

"Pick one." Jiang Yuan said to Captain Pang Jidong, also utilizing his familiarity with the cases in Luojin City.

Captain Pang Jidong was very willing in this regard, smiled and said, "Looking for a simple one, or a harder one?"

The agreement between Huang Qiangmin and the Luojin City Bureau was for a total of three murder cases, and now two had been completed. If it were purely to complete the task, then naturally, finding a simple murder case would be best.

Of course, the matter of a simple murder case itself still needed to be redefined.

However, from the exchanges over these days, Captain Pang Jidong felt that Jiang Yuan's thinking was extremely jumping, and it often didn't match normal thinking at all.

At this time, the director noticed Jiang Yuan and Captain Pang Jidong whispering and smiled, "What are you chatting about? So happy."

Captain Pang Jidong hurriedly said, "We are discussing the choice of the third murder case."

"Oh, you are going to do the third murder case?" The director was inexplicably surprised.

"Need to rest for a while, but the preliminary preparations can be done." Jiang Yuan said, "I plan to rest for two days and determine the case to be done."

The director naturally nodded, "Work and rest combined is the most reasonable. What kind of case are you planning to do?"

"That still depends on the specifics." Jiang Yuan smiled. He couldn't say the middle-two words that the victim was a cook.

After all, he was the one solving the case, not the one committing it.

The welcome activity in front of the building ended, and the Criminal Police Detachment returned to calm.

Then, Jiang Yuan saw Wang Zhong, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, in the office.

As a Level 0.9 trace examiner in Ningtai County, Wang Zhong only appeared when he confirmed that people were missing. After Jiang Yuan's cold case team became strong, he gradually stopped appearing.

Seeing him this time, Jiang Yuan was quite surprised.

A confident smile appeared on Wang Zhong's face, and he said, "Team Leader Jiang, Team Leader Wu heard that you went to Malaysia and specifically sent me to bring you something."

As he spoke, Wang Zhong took out a delicate little jar from his backpack.

The jar was made of stainless steel with a large lid. When opened and poured, several red eggs rolled out.

"I guessed it was..." Jiang Yuan wasn't surprised at all. The gift sent by Wu Jun was red eggs. Isn't this as it should be?

Wang Zhong said, "Team Leader Jiang, eat them while they are hot. The eggs were laid by the chickens raised by Team Leader Wu himself. They are delicious."

"My master started raising chickens?" Jiang Yuan took a red egg, knocked it open, peeled it, and asked while eating.

"Raised 5, and can get 5 eggs almost every day. Team Leader Wu said, even if you are fierce, he at least guarantees that the red eggs are supplied."

Jiang Yuan laughed.

"By the way, I also brought other things. Shall I set them up for you here?" Wang Zhong patted his schoolbag, his expression becoming serious.

Although he had practiced for a long time in Ningtai, this was his first time coming out to do things independently. And he was facing Jiang Yuan, who had just returned from abroad.

Jiang Yuan felt Wang Zhong's solemnity.

It must be said that this momentum alone was not something Level 0.9 could hold.

"Alright. Come with me, let's find an office." Jiang Yuan went out, found Captain Pang Jidong, entered his office, locked the door, and pulled the curtains.

Captain Pang Jidong didn't know why, but his expression became serious instantly.

"Team Leader Jiang, is there a case?" Captain Pang Jidong said while looking at Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong also looked at Captain Pang Jidong with an extremely solemn gaze. If there was one more person, the materials would easily be insufficient. Fortunately, his preparation work was sufficient...

"My master brought some local specialties for me. Borrowing your precious land for a use." Jiang Yuan explained to Captain Pang Jidong.

Captain Pang Jidong nodded even more solemnly.

The saying "A teacher for a day is a father for life." In this era, although it is not so strict, Jiang Yuan's master is almost his Captain Pang Jidong's master's master.

Calculated this way, Captain Pang Jidong naturally had to attach more importance to the "specialties" sent by Wu Jun.

Under Captain Pang Jidong's extremely solemn gaze, Wang Zhong's self-confidence was sublimated again.

He took off his backpack, opened the lock, pulled the zipper, took out a cloth bag, pulled the rope on it, and revealed the inside—a copper furnace.

Captain Pang Jidong's brows were twisted into a rope, "Is this... evidence?"

"Used for crossing the brazier." Jiang Yuan answered.

Before Captain Pang Jidong could ask again, he saw Wang Zhong busy taking out charcoal, taking out a spray gun, putting the charcoal into the copper furnace, and burning it with the spray gun...

The charcoal soon appeared red.

Wang Zhong took out a stack of yellow paper and said, "Team Leader Jiang, this is specially prepared for you by Team Leader Wu, with English on it."

Jiang Yuan squatted down, took the yellow paper and looked at it. The yellow paper was solid color, and there were indeed words carved with a red seal: don't

"Don't?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Team Leader Wu carved it with a radish seal himself." Wang Zhong said, making way for Jiang Yuan to cross the brazier.

Once.

Twice...

Captain Pang Jidong was numb watching from the side, "Team Leader Jiang, what are we doing?"

"My master thinks that crossing the brazier can remove bad luck. If you don't believe it, it doesn't affect it." Jiang Yuan crossed sideways, crossed straight, crossed left and right...

The fire was lit, it would be a waste not to cross.

Captain Pang Jidong hesitated for a moment and finally followed Jiang Yuan across the brazier.

Jiang Yuan looked at Captain Pang Jidong.

Captain Pang Jidong said calmly, "Just treat it as a vote of confidence." ===== CHAPTER 525 =====
