Chapter 1406: Chapter 1330: Unique Advantages
Jiang Yuan quite likes the style of Pingzhou people.
Straightforward, generous, not concerned with cost-effectiveness.
Just like at the dinner party, Yin Feisong publicly led out a cow and a sheep, and personally held a knife to slit the sheep’s throat.
The cow was slaughtered by a professional butcher, hung up after being bled, allowing everyone to choose their favorite parts to boil, grill, or fry, with soone available to do it.
Jiang Yuan felt a familiar happiness, a bit like being ho.
So Jiang Yuan took out the beef jerky he carried and handed it out to the people around him.
Liu Zhuangshi toasted two rounds, feeling slightly tipsy, received Jiang Yuan’s beef jerky and looked stunned: “When did you prepare this?”
“I brought it from ho.” Jiang Yuan explained with a smile: “My family also raises cattle, this is beef jerky from our own ranch, try and see if it’s good.”
“It’s good.” Liu Zhuangshi muttered through a bite, barely chewing, answering first, then asked with gleaming eyes: “But even if it’s really good beef jerky, why did you bring it here? We have plenty of beef in Pingzhou, plenty of beef jerky, don’t you believe our Pingzhou beef can produce good beef jerky?”
Jiang Yuan smiled but said nothing, in so sense, he didn’t believe it.
Liu Zhuangshi exploded on the spot: “Brothers! Co and see what this is!”
A group of Pingzhou detectives gathered around, seeing was Jiang Yuan with his beef jerky.
“Director Jiang brought beef jerky from his own ho, Ningtai’s beef jerky!” Liu Zhuangshi cried out in anguish.
He didn’t have to say more, everyone present was a policeman, with imagination definitely surpassing the main character of a little yellow comic.
For a mont, emotions ran high:
“This won’t do!”
“What’s wrong with our Pingzhou beef? It can’t possibly not compare to Ningtai’s beef!”
“Ningtai’s forensic doctor is great, but the beef isn’t!”
Yin Feisong, having drunk four decanters during the toast, ca over looking groggy and fixated on the beef jerky in Jiang Yuan’s hand.
“Director Jiang!” Yin Feisong said solemnly: “You saved my son, my life should belong to you, but the cow is innocent, it can’t just die for nothing.”
“It’s not that serious, it’s not that serious…” Jiang Yuan waved his hands repeatedly.
“Director Jiang, look at this cow’s eyes!” Yin Feisong dragged Jiang Yuan over to look at the cow’s eyes, then said: “I’ll personally make you roasted cow eye!”
Saying that, Yin Feisong picked up a small knife, cut out the cow eye along with so facial at, then asked the barbecue master to regulate the fire, personally stepping up to grill, singing all the while, occasionally pouring Maotai on the fire!
Hearing his singing, Liu Zhuangshi stomped his feet rhythmically, sang along slowly, eventually standing up and joining in the song and dance.
With him taking the lead, many in the courtyard carried their wine glasses, wine jugs, and bottles, drinking and dancing, the atmosphere lively as if it were a ball.
Liu Zhuangshi danced for a while, even pulled Jiang Yuan along, loudly shouting: “Director Jiang, solving cases with you is really great, I inspected the kidnapper’s corpse earlier, I used 15 bullets, hitting 13, haven’t shot that freely in years.”
“Actually, you didn’t need 13 bullets.” Jiang Yuan recalled the bullets he found during the autopsy and said: “He took more than just the 13 bullets.”
“I was afraid he’d pull the trigger, wanted to shoot off his finger ideally. Because I was behind, I saw others aiming at the head and chest.” Liu Zhuangshi explained expertly.
Jiang Yuan followed the “dancers”, glanced questioningly at Liu Zhuangshi, said: “The kidnapper’s fingers were intact.”
“Yes, no hits, all went into the belly.” Liu Zhuangshi felt regret, adjusted his glasses, much like a student missing a perfect score.
Jiang Yuan earnestly recalled for a mont, finally said: “Then you hit 9 shots, the 4 on the chest were yours too.”
“Eh, how do you know…wait, how did you figure that out?” Liu Zhuangshi was greatly surprised.
Jiang Yuan responded: “I swept the bullets under a microscope. Also, among the shooters, only you used the old 92, others using the 92 type were 92G, new guns, your rifling was well-worn.”
Liu Zhuangshi suddenly understood, then realized Jiang Yuan’s autopsy wasn’t just a casual exercise. He likely determined who shot whom and which shot caused the actual death.
For this case, it wasn’t useful, but for Jiang Yuan, it might have been as simple as skinning a sheep.
Liu Zhuangshi was stirred, emptied his cup, hooked an arm around Jiang Yuan, dancing a steppe dance, laughing and said: “Director Jiang, I say, stay in Anwan a few more days, I’ll take you around, see our Pingzhou’s beautiful sheep, beautiful cattle, beautiful people, really beautiful…”
“I do have that plan, it’d be best if Liu Zhi is willing to cooperate.” Jiang Yuan previously discussed with Huang Qiangmin about borrowing Anwan’s location for cases.
Liu Zhuangshi delighted: “Cooperate, I’d love to cooperate.”
Finishing, Liu Zhuangshi shouted: “Captain Jiang is staying in Anwan!”
The singing and dancing crowd paused, then surged over.
Mu Zhiyang yelled: “Don’t squeeze over, you’ll see Director Jiang casually these days, don’t crowd!”
Jiang Yuan, slightly drunk, still had the spirit to wave his arms.
Identifying a good collaboration partner isn’t easy either, whenever Jiang Yuan arrives in a new region, he solves several cases before leaving, partly because handling cases requires mutual trust, and concluding a case establishes that trust.
Otherwise, for cases involving cris, especially violent cris, without mutual trust, many problems will arise.
Today, with Yin Feisong willing to offer equal weight in gold for his son’s ransom, soday Yin Dijin might be willing to offer equal weight in gold for his son’s liberation.
Liu Zhuangshi’s bold personality and his high-ranking position as a brigade captain satisfy the basic conditions for case handling.
Of course, most important is the unique situation of Pingzhou.
Pingzhou borders Shannan Province, the nearest point is rely a few hundred kiloters from Ningtai County, easy to reach within half a day on the highway.
Pingzhou is a border province, with vast grasslands and long border lines; with an off-road capable vehicle, crossing the border isn’t hard.
As for satellite scans, border walls, etc., even the Old Aricans can’t handle that. Ordinary criminals, don’t receive such luxury.
Therefore, Shannan Province criminals, whenever a cri occurs, often flee to Pingzhou, using Pingzhou as a jumping board, either to hide or escape abroad.
Handling a batch of Pingzhou criminal cases will absolutely improve Shannan Province’s public security.
Such matters complent each other, similar to how Ningtai County once required yearly staff allocations to handle various cold cases, deal with inquiries from family, track leads outside of the region, etc.
In parallel, dealing with so Pingzhou cases, especially ones with intense reactions, helps maintain Ningtai County’s high-level public security as well.
The chaotic vibe paused briefly.
Liu Zhuangshi imdiately asked Jiang Yuan: “Which case do you want to handle? I’ll arrange it imdiately.”
“This ti, I’m considering, first looking into fingerprint-related cases.” Jiang Yuan calmly explained further: “I found Pingzhou’s weather conditions particularly good, fingerprints preserve longer, plus, offenders tend to be more brazen, hate spending hours cleaning up cri scenes, feels suitable to catch them by fingerprints.”
Liu Zhuangshi was dumbfounded: “Didn’t think our Pingzhou had this natural advantage.”
