Liu Jinghui didn't use Jiang Yuan to protect him.

He didn't know the specific details of this case, but in Liu Jinghui's understanding, some cases were too dirty, and it didn't make sense to let Jiang Yuan, a young and promising forensic police officer, rush into them.

Liu Jinghui still wanted to see the situation for himself.

Jiang Yuan roughly understood Liu Jinghui's thoughts and didn't insist on going to the coal mine.

He wasn't omnipotent either. Even for technical tasks like crime scene investigation, he had to first determine where the crime scene was. With such a large coal mine, they might even have to go into the mine tunnels. The conditions at the scene might not be good, and the area was large. Currently, Jiang Yuan would find it difficult to be effective.

In terms of his abilities, Jiang Yuan was currently more suitable for street battles and conducting small-scale and delicate investigations.

So, after staying in Qinghe City for a few hours, Jiang Yuan returned to Ningtai County with Wang Zhong.

Back home, two Dobermans happily rushed over.

The two dogs were still young, with soft fur and tender bodies, the perfect age for petting.

Jiang Yuan lazily lay on the sofa, one hand on each dog, gradually relaxing. Soon, he fell asleep.

When he woke up again, the house was filled with a strong meat fragrance, and a tall and strong man was standing at the door.

Jiang Yuan was startled.

"Yuanzi is awake." Aunt Hua was sitting next to him, cracking melon seeds and throwing the shells on the ground, just like she did 20 years ago. Of course, she would clean up before leaving.

"Aunt." Jiang Yuan rubbed his eyes and stood up. He compared himself to the tall and strong man at the door and found that the other person was even taller and stronger than him.

"Son." Jiang Fu Town came over with a ladle in one hand and patted the tall and strong man at the door with the other hand, saying, "This is your strong uncle, remember? You played with his toy gun when you were a child."

"Strong Uncle! Ah, I remember. Strong Uncle came back after being discharged from the army." In Jiang Yuan's mind, an image of a person in military uniform suddenly appeared.

After his wife passed away, Jiang Fu Town never remarried because he was worried about the stepmother's influence on Jiang Yuan's growth. Therefore, Jiang Fu Town maintained a relationship with his wife's family, and they would visit each other during holidays.

Strong Uncle was Jiang Yuan's cousin, who had served in the military and fought in battles, and had even received commendations.

Jiang Fu Town also said, "Your strong uncle's family also has a second-class merit recipient. He received it during the war, which is even more rare!"

"Merit is merit, they are all the same." Strong Uncle laughed, his voice slightly rough.

Jiang Fu Town laughed heartily and said, "Tell Jiang Yuan how you earned your merit."

Everyone gathered around, curious about the tall and strong Strong Uncle.

Strong Uncle wasn't shy and smiled, saying, "I joined the army later. At that time, our class's mission was to capture the enemy's communication personnel. I and two soldiers were in the rear as support, while they were in the front. They were ambushed. The enemy had a reinforced platoon, and we were just a class. So, I had the other two reinforce them, while I went around from the other side and directly killed more than a dozen of the enemy with a dagger, and even stabbed their officer to death..."

Everyone listened in awe.

Jiang Yuan looked at Strong Uncle, who was about 2 meters tall, and suddenly felt that he was tall and mighty.

"Your strong uncle also has heroic deeds later on." Jiang Fu Town waved the ladle and said, "Your strong uncle was driving a big truck and encountered bandits on the road who were robbing a bus. He single-handedly killed two of the five people, subdued three others with a wrench, and was commended by the local police station and even appeared in the newspaper."

Strong Uncle laughed, "The passengers on the bus also helped."

"I know this story too well. No one on the bus dared to go up, but you went up and hit the leader with a wrench. Then you hit one person after another... Two with hard heads survived, and two with soft heads died, and one even knelt down."

Strong Uncle laughed, "I killed the leader with a heavy blow. As for the other three, I stopped."

Aunt Hua applauded and said, "He should also receive a second-class merit for this."

Jiang Yuan and Strong Uncle couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Jiang Fu Town said, "Son, I asked Strong Uncle to come and help at home. The house is too big, and I see that you've been worried about safety recently. Let Strong Uncle help with security and also boost his morale."

"That's great." Jiang Yuan immediately agreed. He had also understood his father's intention just now. Moreover, having a second-class merit and a reputation for bravery made him feel reassured.

"Alright, Strong Uncle will sleep in the guest room, and the two dogs will be trained by him. There's a baseball bat in the room. I'll also get you an iron skewer for roasting a whole lamb. It's mainly for precaution." Jiang Fu Town immediately made arrangements.

Strong Uncle readily agreed.

He was already 50 years old and couldn't endure driving a big truck anymore, and he was earning less money. If you think about it, he had earned quite a bit of money from driving a large truck before, but it was all spent on building a house in his hometown, getting married, raising children, and taking care of the elderly's medical expenses and funerals. Now, if he wanted to buy a house for his son and prepare a dowry, he had to find a high-paying job.

Jiang Yuan chatted with everyone for a while, picking up topics that he could talk about, and told Strong Uncle about them.Uncle Qiang immediately tensed up. After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and gone home, he said, "Since there's a situation, I'll buy some stuff and make some arrangements."

"What arrangements?" Jiang's father asked.

"The windows, the doors, they all need to be changed." Uncle Qiang said, his energy returning. His two-meter-tall figure stood up, and he said with an imposing air, "I was a master at setting traps back in the day, just leave it to me."

Jiang Yuan then went back to his bedroom to catch up on sleep, feeling reassured.

For the next three days, Jiang Yuan stayed at home to rest.

Detectives don't get extra overtime pay. It's included in their monthly salary, but it's not much.

After continuous or overtime work, they can take time off.

For a unit like the detective team, after each long-lasting murder case, there would be a long refractory period, and few people could actually take all their time off.

If you can take time off, you should do it as soon as possible. That's the right way.

On a workday.

Jiang Yuan drove his big G and didn't go to the office until the afternoon.

The office was filled with smoke.

Jiang Yuan was startled, then looked closely and saw that it was Wang Zhong lighting incense.

Wu Jun was next to him, helping him hold the incense and light it...

After the two of them prayed devoutly together, they began to collect various items.

"What's the occasion this time?" Jiang Yuan was a bit emotional. Comrade Wu Jun's bad hobby was quite contagious.

Wang Zhong sighed, "To ward off bad luck."

"What happened?"

"I just met a female netizen. She looked pretty good. Then she said we should have a meal together. When the bill came, it was 8800 yuan, no discount." Wang Zhong sighed.

Jiang Yuan asked cautiously, "A bar scam?"

Wang Zhong nodded heavily, "I thought I was quite charming."

Jiang Yuan laughed, "You'll be charming if you arrest them."

"I did arrest them." Wang Zhong said.

"You arrested them alone?" Jiang Yuan was surprised. Bar scams were usually a group operation. Otherwise, a delicate little girl wouldn't be able to swindle money. And Wang Zhong, as a technical police officer, wasn't particularly strong in combat.

As expected, Wang Zhong shook his head, "I sent a message to Captain Wu, and he brought people over to do it."

"How many did you catch?"

"Seven people." Wang Zhong said, "The first squad didn't have much to do recently, so half of them came over in one breath. They arrested everyone from the bar scam's boss to the employees. They're being interrogated now."

"Good grief! You're like Zhu Bajie eating porridge, even taking the pot."

Wang Zhong's mood improved a bit, "The medal of honor is mine, the first squad's, and yours. If you hadn't said you were going to introduce me to someone, I wouldn't have started chatting with her..."
