Chapter 596: Ambition in a Thousand Miles

The meeting ended.

Jiang Yuan took the blessings from Huang Qiangmin and went to greet Captain Pang Jidong and the botanists.

Arriving at the conference room upstairs, he saw Captain Pang Jidong and the botanists chatting enthusiastically.

Several people already knew each other, and Captain Pang Jidong focused on an image of being diligent and eager to learn, asking the simplest questions. The botanists felt a strong sense of being needed, and at the same time could satisfy the other party's needs. Answering back and forth, it immediately became enthusiastic.

When Jiang Yuan entered the room, he could even feel a sense of intellectual massage floating in the air.

"Thank you all for your hard work." Jiang Yuan greeted everyone with a smile and added: "It's almost noon, let's go have a casual meal together."

"Just eat something casual." Everyone didn't refuse.

Although it wasn't off-work time yet, for the botanists, the work was basically finished.

Su Lei just asked with concern: "Was the source of the body finally determined for that other body we found?"

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment and said: "This case has already started the process, so I can't talk about it for the time being. However, to be honest, finding Liu Hongbing's body and finding this one was a bit unexpected."

"A county town like Ningtai County can find such a place to bury a body; who knows what it's like in other places." Su Lei was a bit over-dispersed.

"The environment of many county towns is not as good as Ningtai County; they should bury the bodies in the mountains." Jiang Yuan paused and said: "If they weren't checked when leaving the city."

"Coming to the police station once makes me feel the world isn't that safe." Su Lei shook his head.

"We should call the criminals to the police station to let them see our new technology. At least ninety percent of them would despair." Jiang Yuan didn't face Su Lei's words directly. Technicians don't engage in romanticism, nor do they believe that any social measures can truly make society beautiful.

In fact, the so-called beautiful world is originally the beautiful world imagined by literati of a certain era, not knowing that the current world is originally a beautiful world already achieved by some people.

It's just that it's hell for another part of the people.

Jiang Yuan took several people to a small restaurant near his home.

Just like Mount Tai is to Tai'an, and Shaolin is to Dengfeng, the area around Mount Sining is the highest-level consumption place in Ningtai County.

However, because of the local economy, this sense of high-end is mainly reflected in frequency, not price.

Near the Jiangcun residential area, there are several good small restaurants. The restaurant owners are middle-aged chefs who couldn't make it in big restaurants, and by coincidence, they came to Ningtai County and opened a small shop based on the technology they were best at.

Unlike large restaurants, small restaurants only make a few dishes, and some just sell a few types.

But because these few things are done very finely, it gives people a very delicious feeling.

The reason why so-called "fly restaurants" produce delicacies is the same principle: when a chef makes a food until they want to vomit, the diners feel like they can't stop.

After confirming everyone's tastes and taboos, Jiang Yuan took everyone into a donkey meat restaurant, skillfully ordered meat, intestines, and soup, and then said: "This Zhang Xiangji is an old donkey meat restaurant in our Ningtai County. In the past, they sold a donkey every few days; now they can sell one a day. Business is better, and the taste is even better."

"Fresher." Captain Pang Jidong nodded.

"Needless to say." Jiang Yuan took everyone into a private room, ordered beer, tea, and drinks, and then smiled: "The owner of this shop makes donkey meat, highlighting diligence. The meat quality of donkey meat is actually more tender than beef, but it has the same problem as venison: it's easy to have a gamey smell. This shop's solution is to wash it with water many times. After killing the donkey, soak the meat in a water basin, then change the water again and again until the water is clear. The purpose is to soak out all the bloody water. This work is quite labor-intensive. Many shops don't taste good after doing it for a while, which is because the owner reduced the number of water changes."

Several guests were listening intently, and Professor Mu kept nodding, saying: "It's actually a dish that takes effort."

"My old man specifically came here to apprentice. It's just too tiring. After he learned it, he didn't make it many times." Jiang Yuan said with a laugh.

In fact, Jiangfuzhen didn't make donkey meat himself for another reason: to avoid affecting Zhang Xiangji's business. People who eat donkey meat are not as numerous as those who eat beef, mutton, and pork. Most people think of it and come to taste it, eating it once every few months or even years, and won't eat it again for a long time.

If Jiangfuzhen cooked donkey meat and gave it to people everywhere, the final result might be Zhang Xiangji closing down and leaving.

This wasn't Jiangfuzhen's groundless fear. When Jiang Yuan was in high school, Zhang Xiangji had encountered a crisis, and it was Jiangfuzhen who bought a donkey from them every week and gave it to people everywhere, which allowed them to persist.

Many people even started buying donkey meat themselves because they tasted the donkey meat Jiangfuzhen gave them.

After several years of development, Zhang Xiangji also developed several new dishes.

However, judging by Jiang Yuan's taste buds, the most delicious is still the soy-braised donkey meat.

In terms of eating method, the shabu-shabu donkey meat is exceptionally delicious.

The so-called shabu-shabu is still the cooked soy-braised donkey meat, thickly sliced, put into a well-prepared soup base, boiled until hot, and then eaten plain or dipped in sauce, which is very delicious. It is different from the traditional cold-mixed taste, and also different from the complex taste of hot pot; what is tasted is the mellow taste of donkey meat and the tender texture of the meat.

The donkey meat soup given as a gift is also very fresh and delicious, and some even add a sour and spicy flavor, making one feel hot all over after drinking it, and feeling very energetic.

After the meal.

Jiang Yuan picked his teeth and pulled Captain Pang Jidong to chat, but it quickly turned into a lecture.

The botanists originally felt a bit like they were socializing, but with Captain Pang Jidong scratching his head, everyone joined in one after another.

The attribute of being fond of teaching others is truly something engraved in human genes. Think about how even celebrities dare to teach people how to do things, how to be a person, and how to face the world, and you can understand the humor in it.

Ding.

Task completed: Old steed in the stable, ambition in a thousand miles.

Task goal: Make Captain Pang Jidong fully understand the elements of forensic botany and be familiar with the ways and methods of using forensic botany to solve cases.

Task reward: Forensic Botany (LV3) skill level +1

Jiang Yuan drank tea, looked at Captain Pang Jidong holding a fountain pen, unable to continue, and then used the newly acquired Forensic Botany (LV4) skill to recall the scene of the search a few days ago.

A national-level powerhouse!

Afternoon.

Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Yongxin to send a car to send Captain Pang Jidong and the botanists to Changyang City Airport, taking the VVIP channel, with the Coaster reaching directly under the plane.

Jiang Yuan himself returned to the funeral home to study the second body.

Evening.

The DNA report for the second body was completed.

The laboratory called immediately, saying: "Team Leader Jiang. This second body matched a Ningtai-born businessman who lived in Changyang City for a long time, 38 years old, named He Yuxiang, reported missing on April 20, reported in Beijing."

"Was it reported in Beijing?" Jiang Yuan asked.

"Yes. Logically speaking, they should be notified." The laboratory's process actually couldn't be changed, but they had to show some respect.

Jiang Yuan said: "Then notify them, and throw the report to me to see."

"Okay, immediately."

The call ended, and Jiang Yuan spread his hands to Wang Lan and Wu Jun in the autopsy room, laughing: "Well, our progress is ahead, and the Beijing case is..."

Beijing had already filed the case, so this side was equivalent to finding the body. The jurisdiction was still Beijing's, and they still had to cooperate with them to organize the evidence.

Wang Lan was originally a guest army, so it didn't matter, laughing: "We are almost out of the autopsy report, and the DNA just came out. There's no way around that. If there's nothing else, I'll go back tonight."

"Sigh, eat before you go." Wu Jun couldn't let Wang Lan go back just like that, even if this was official work, eating and drinking privately was always appropriate.

Wu Jun took off his gloves, washed his hands, and said: "Jiang Yuan, I remember you said there is a donkey meat restaurant that is particularly delicious. You book a private room tonight." ===== CHAPTER 597 =====
