255: Chapter 240 Pumping Water_3 255: Chapter 240 Pumping Water_3 Xu Taining was momentarily stunned but then smiled and said, “You don’t need to worry about the record, I had it started when I arrived.” Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining exchanged a glance, immediately understanding each other. With the police conducting such a large operation and extensively inviting the help of societal members, could the killer take this chance to blend in? In Jiang Yuan and Xu Taining’s view, this possibility was very high. Criminals returning to the scene is a psychological state. The reason it’s not very common is that criminals still harbor a fear. However, if there is a low-cost way of returning to the scene, most criminals would consider and attempt it. Just like many perpetrators of economic crimes actively keep up with case developments. Some criminals behind violent crimes, if there is a low-cost channel, will also try to inquire. Even spies, if possible, would want to know to what extent they are being traced. With such a large-scale search and investigation happening in Zifeng Mountain area, if the killer had the chance, it’s likely they would try to blend in and “help”. Add to that the killer might also be the person who stabbed the tires, an individual whose aggressiveness and initiative exceed average levels. Xu Taining then especially instructed Jiang Yuan, “Be careful to protect yourself.” It was only after this that he seemed to notice Huang Qiangmin and said, “In the next few days, have two of your team members protect Jiang Yuan, and also ensure that the security measures at the scene are adequate.” ... Back at the station, Huang Qiangmin was still cursing and complaining. Seeing his pouting lips, Dazhuang whimpered and lowered his head, fearing offending the instructor’s boss and getting bullied. Liu Wenkai had just been briefed on the situation and, out of curiosity, asked, “Did Director Xu reject Jiang Yuan’s suggestions?” “No,” Huang Qiangmin snorted, “Just talking about all sorts of things. Wen Kai, pick two strong guys from your team, have them follow Jiang Yuan around the next couple of days, and make sure protection is in place.” “Okay,” Liu Wenkai agreed. Once Huang Qiangmin was gone, but he approached Jiang Yuan, chuckling cheekily, “Jiang Yuan, when Captain Huang talks about protection measures, is he talking about what I’m thinking of?” After some deep thinking, Jiang Yuan replied, “Honestly, I’m a bit confused about which kind of ‘protection measures’ you’re referring to.” “Anyway, just take it easy, don’t overwork anyone,” Liu Wenkai chuckled again and went off to select people. Having been assigned a new task, the detectives from Ningtai County managed to relax a bit. Making use of the time when other teams were setting off, they quickly headed to the accommodations provided by the mining bureau to catch some sleep. It didn’t matter if the beds had been previously used; the priority was to get enough rest. Come nightfall, who knew if there would be an opportunity to sleep again. Li Li, being the only female officer and having brought along a dog, was the one who got to stay at a proper guesthouse. A room that wouldn’t usually cost even a hundred yuan a night had become a luxury at that moment. Even Dazhuang felt grateful for the cardboard box he was given to sleep in. Jiang Yuan didn’t fuss about these details and also decided to sleep first. Whether it was pumping water out of the mine or sending divers down, it all required special arrangements from outside, which would probably take a whole day to set up. When Jiang Yuan woke up, it was only the afternoon. Feeling a bit hungry, he called Li Li and, sure enough, she was preparing dog food for Dazhuang. “Let me do it,” Jiang Yuan said, stepping out and walking a few steps to the guesthouse. Li Li had borrowed the kitchen of the guesthouse and was busy inside. Other dog trainers were working with her as well. At this time of day, with such busyness, even those in white shirts might not have the opportunity to eat a meal, but the police dogs couldn’t wait, needing their one meal a day without fail. After greeting everyone, Jiang Yuan stepped forward and got to work. In Shannan Province, there were only a few dozen police dogs, and the trainers all knew each other. Seeing a new face in Jiang Yuan, they were initially observant. However, as Jiang Yuan worked, several trainers watched in somewhat amazement. “Do you really make food for dogs this elaborate?” A trainer couldn’t help but ask in a low voice. “It’s mainly for balanced nutrition,” Jiang Yuan said nonchalantly, “Being meticulous ensures an accurate balance of various nutrients. Dazhuang exerted a lot of energy yesterday, and after resting a bit today, the diet still needs to be adjusted.” “This... is a bit too much,” the speaking trainer had a hard time accepting it. He treated the dogs better than he did himself, but this was surely taking it too far. What kind of family is this, where the meals for dogs are prepared and processed so carefully? Jiang Yuan didn’t care about all that, and with a few quick DuangDuangDuang movements, a bowl of colorful, fragrant, and flavorful dog food was ready. The extra food, with some added seasoning, was divided between him and Li Li, shared out very evenly. The other trainers didn’t know what to say anymore, so they just watched blankly before heading out to feed the dogs. “Sit tight!” “Good luck! Sit down.” “Heizi, come to eat.” Everyone called their own dogs and watched as the police dogs excitedly ran over, then lined up horizontally in front of the trainers. Each dog held its own food bowl in its mouth, eagerly looking at their trainers. The meritorious dog Heizi, with two stainless steel bowls stacked together, looked down proudly upon his peers. At that moment, the trainers started signaling the police dogs to put down their bowls and began scooping the freshly made dog food into them. At this time, regardless of their size, all the dogs were desperately holding back drool, not daring to make a move. Meanwhile, each dog was observing the others’ food bowls, like workers sneakily checking each other’s pay slips. One spoonful, two spoonfuls, three spoonfuls... The food piled up in every dog’s bowl. The police dogs had been exerting themselves lately, and both the quality and quantity of their food had been significantly increased. This was the welfare benefit they valued most. In front of the meritorious dog Heizi were two bowls of food. Heizi held his chin high and proud, but the scent wafting to his nose involuntarily made him turn his head. In fact, all the police dogs’ gazes were fixed on the food bowl in front of Dazhuang. All dogs are the same; their noses know what’s delicious in the food bowl. Normally, everyone’s food was more or less the same. Except for dogs like Heizi, who had been awarded second-class merits—everyone had an average food allowance of 45 yuan, not varying more than 10 yuan either way. It’s just a matter of two chicken breasts. But today, Dazhuang’s meal was obviously over the standard. Woof! Another Rottweiler barked discontentedly. We’re all short, black, and wrinkly, why do you get to eat so much? Woof woof! All the dogs in the yard started barking. Even Heizi was no exception. Woof! Dazhuang barked back, disdainfully.
