Chongshu Sha North
Good for moving house, entering a new home, seeking offspring, raising livestock, relocating, embalming, and welcoming guests.
Wu Jun solemnly put the almanac back in the drawer, took out a box of soft Zhonghua cigarettes and a lighter, stood in front of the hanging spider plant, and lit the tobacco with a "pop".
The soft Zhonghua cigarettes were left in Jiang Yuan's office for anyone to smoke, but Wu Jun couldn't bear to let them go to waste and put them in Jiang Yuan's drawer. Jiang Yuan later saw them and bought a pack to give to Wu Jun.
Wu Jun felt embarrassed to accept the whole pack, so he only took one. After all, he was Jiang Yuan's apprentice. In the early days of his career, the master-apprentice relationship was very close. It was normal for him to wash Jiang Yuan's feet and carry his chamber pot. However, in recent years, the old customs had faded away.
Now, there were only two soft Zhonghua cigarettes left, indicating that they had underestimated how many they would need.
Hiss...
Wu Jun smoked slowly and inhaled deeply, almost finishing the cigarette before taking one last deep drag and crushing the butt into the flower pot, where it joined dozens of other cigarette butts.
Just another ordinary day...
Wu Jun turned around to get back to work when he suddenly caught sight of a familiar group of people.
Jiang Yuan, Wei Zhenguo, and others were all dressed casually and walking in through the front door.
Wu Jun couldn't help but smile and mutter to himself, "I knew it. They should be back by now, even the cigarettes are almost gone."
Satisfied with himself, Wu Jun stretched lazily and walked slowly to the corner of the office, where he took out two red eggs from a pile of rice, oil, and eggs, and then grabbed a small electric rice cooker from the cabinet, poured in some mineral water, and added the eggs to boil.
When Jiang Yuan knocked on the door and entered the office, Wu Jun had just taken out the red eggs.
"Come on, have a red egg," Wu Jun beckoned with a smile.
Jiang Yuan, who had been sitting in the car for several hours, was indeed a bit hungry, so he subconsciously took the small bowl Wu Jun offered, and asked in confusion, "Do you usually just cook red eggs for fun?"
"Do I look that idle?" Wu Jun waved his hand and asked, "Did you have a smooth journey? How do you feel about Changyang City? Did you offend anyone?"
"It's all good," Jiang Yuan was a bit confused by Wu Jun's barrage of questions, but he answered anyway. He then peeled the egg and smiled, "The case was solved a long time ago, we just spent too much time looking for the body..."
"No need to explain, this kind of ongoing case, especially one being handled in a different location, is the most troublesome," Wu Jun mainly wanted to remind Jiang Yuan. Then, he sat back in his chair, opened his computer, and began his day's work.
Jiang Yuan smiled, peeled the shell of the red egg, and asked, "Master, do you want me to save a red egg for you?"
"No need, I haven't touched a corpse in the past few days. There are no bodies in the county either," Wu Jun refused and added, "You should take it easy these next few days, don't stress yourself too much. Oh, and Ding Lan's family came to thank us. Later, you and Old Wei can take a photo with the banner."
"Oh, do we have to do that?""It's not necessary, but it's rare for family members to come and give a banner. You'll regret it if you don't take a photo. Who knows when the next time will be?" Wu Jun said, "Ding Lan's parents are very thoughtful. The banner was sent to the political department, and it must have been approved by someone. It's quite rare."
For the entire police system, the media's favorite is still when something goes wrong. Even if the case is perfect, the media is not interested in delving deeper.
Relatively speaking, the political department within the police station still values the value of banners. It can be said that this is the most effective way for ordinary people to express their gratitude to the police. During inspections, a thank-you letter and a banner can bring a commendation or even a third-class merit.
Of course, under normal circumstances, ordinary police officers are unlikely to receive such a level of commendation. Internal notifications or public commendations, at most, recognize them as advanced workers, even if it is the highest reward.
Jiang Yuan poured himself a cup of tea and hesitated to ask, "What about Ding Lan? Has she shown up?"
"I haven't seen her. It's said that she doesn't like going out. But, I also just heard it." Wu Jun has seen a lot, but when it comes to this kind of case, he still can't get used to it.
Jiang Yuan nodded slightly and thought again, "At least Ding Lan still has family to take care of her. The other two who were rescued didn't return home in the end."
Wu Jun also heard about it and sighed, "Both parents are gone, and they can't go back to their hometown. Moreover, they have such a complicated experience."
Jiang Yuan lowered his head and peeled an egg.
As a police officer, this is basically all they can do. In fact, Wei Zhenguo did far more than what was required of his profession. However, the scars of society cannot be erased by individual efforts.
Someone entered.
Huang Qiangming entered.
Someone entered.
The morning was mostly spent on social activities.
It's also because the Ding Lan case was too shocking. For many police officers, this kind of case belongs to the type that they have heard of but have never seen. When Jiang Yuan came back, there were always people willing to come over and ask a few questions, and then relay them to their colleagues in the office.
"Go to the police dog squadron." Jiang Yuan sat down at noon and immediately got up to pack his things.
Jiang Yuan was quite curious about the power of the LV5 level skill.
Li Li and Strong had already returned to the police dog squadron.
The Rottweiler sniffed Jiang Yuan's scent and politely wagged its tail.
Police dogs, like detectives, are also often on business trips. Sometimes, even in the jurisdiction of Ningtai County, where the road conditions are poor, it may take several hours to return from the provincial capital to Ningtai County. Strong seemed to be more adaptable than Jiang Yuan.
"Your tail wagging is good." Jiang Yuan looked down at Strong and shouted directly, "Strong, let me pet you."
Strong was stunned for a moment, probably because the process was confusing, making it a bit at a loss.
Li Li heard the commotion and came out, helplessly saying, "Strong, let him pet you."Strong let out a bark, then lowered his black head and panted with his tongue out, while his two yellow paws stretched forward.
Jiang Yuan rubbed Strong's bald head vigorously and said, "Li, should I make some dog food for Strong today?"
Li Li looked at him skeptically and asked, "Can you cook? Dog food needs to be nutritionally balanced. Dogs are different from humans. It's not about whether it tastes good or not, it's about having a balanced nutrition of protein, carbohydrates, fat, minerals, and vitamins..."
As she spoke, Strong's eyes drooped.
Rottweilers naturally have drooping ears, drooping eyes, and smacking mouths. Strong's expression at the moment was even more pitiful.
Jiang Yuan patted Strong again and laughed, "I'll make you something good today."
With that, Jiang Yuan went into the kitchen and skillfully took out various ingredients from the refrigerator.
Li Li followed him a little embarrassedly, helping to wash and peel...
At this time, Jiang Yuan first diced the duck meat and soaked it in warm water, then removed the apple core, chopped the purple cabbage and cucumber, and mixed them with a few drops of oil.
At the same time, Jiang Yuan steamed the sweet potatoes and asked, "Do we have butter?"
Li Li was already confused and looked at Jiang Yuan like Strong did, asking, "Is it necessary?"
"It should taste better with it," Jiang Yuan replied.
Li Li chuckled, "Actually, you don't need to be so precise when making dog food. I usually just put in whatever I have..."
"Woof!" Strong barked loudly.
