Volume 4: Beginning of Spring Chapter 55: Storytelling
After Jiang You bought three cups of milk tea and returned to the office, he pushed down the back of his computer chair, pulled out the footrest, half-lay down with the cup of milk tea in his hand , picked up the folder that Sun Yu had sorted out, and began to flip through it.
After reading two lines, he took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes and yawned. After putting his glasses back on, he put the folder on his stomach, took out his mobile phone and browsed his Moments for a while.
He found some recruitment photos and posted them on his Moments with the caption: New members of the Bug House.
Sun Yu looked at him and asked, "Is there anything wrong with this information?"
"No, no, I just can't concentrate. I see double when I read words. It's spring sleepiness." Jiang You put the folder on the table. "I'll read it after I finish my milk tea."
He turned his head and saw Tang Butian holding a wooden sword and looking out the window.
"This is a good time to hold a cat, turn off the lights in the room, curl up in a corner, and then watch a movie or TV show for the afternoon, or go to the park and walk the cat. When you get tired, find a comfortable bench by the lake and sit for a while. There will be many girls coming to play with the cats."
"Brother Jiang, you are stirring up hatred."
"We can also use our office to renovate the conference room into a small screening room, buy a projector and a screen, and show some educational films to the recruits," Jiang You drank his milk tea, sat up with difficulty, opened the folder again, and after reading a page with great effort, he sighed again, "We should find someone who writes online articles, use this as material, and compile a few hundred thousand or a few million words, it will look interesting."
Jiang You flipped back a few pages, then turned back, then turned to the middle, and after carefully reading one or two pages, he turned to the end again. "They are just some trivial cases."
"Did you find any problem?" Sun Yu asked.
"No problem. I thought about Sang Xu's matter and found it quite interesting."
Jiang You paused for a moment, then he said, "Sang Xu discovered something related to the Jinghu Society. During the investigation, he was killed by people from the Jinghu Society. Before that, the Special Operations Department had no idea about the existence of the Jinghu Society. This shows two things. First, the Jinghu Society does not want to be known by outsiders. Second, it is very likely that it has its people in the government or even in the Special Operations Department."
Sun Woo glanced towards the door.
The door is closed.
Tang Butian turned her head and her eyes fell on Jiang You.
"The Mirror Lake Society probably didn't want to be enemies with the Special Operations Group, otherwise, Sang Xu wouldn't have died alone. But with Sang Xu's death, there's no possibility of peace talks between them. The interesting thing is that only Sang Xu died," Jiang You turned the computer chair half a circle and looked at Tang Butian. "The Mirror Lake Society used normal means to force Zhuang Zekun to leave. No, I don't think Zhuang Zekun lost either. The Mirror Lake Society also withdrew from Tangjiang City and only infiltrated in recent years. Xueshan Lake Resort is on the edge of Tangjiang City. In Tangjiang City, there are only some investors and their bosses were deceived... So, what happened to Sang Xu back then, and why did the Mirror Lake Society have to take down Tangjiang?"
Jiang You shook the milk tea cup and it was gone.
So he said, "To know what happened next, please wait for the next chapter."
The wooden sword flew in front of him and a sword flower jumped out.
"Chief, please speak properly and don't use the knife." Jiang You spoke faster. "I will tell you the truth. I have said everything I know. I am not an online writer who can make up stories. I really don't know what's next. You have to ask Zhuang Zekun..."
The wooden sword turned around and flew back.
Tang Butian reached out and grasped the wooden sword.
Jiang You patted his stomach while holding the folder, "I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat."
"Chief, when you came to the Special Operations Department, didn't anyone tell you this?"
"No."
"Will Taoist Qingyang know?"
"He won't tell you."
Jiang You turned to look at Sun Yu and said, "I have something else to trouble you with."
"It's not a problem. I'm here and can help..."
"We can't do without you, Su Wangshu and the others, can you match the code names with the ones in the case files?" Jiang You asked.
Sun Yu thought for a moment, "I have guessed, but many key points are missing here. I suspect that cases from other places have been mixed in, so..."
"Just tell me. I suspect that there is a purpose behind the careful processing of these case files, rather than just sealing them up and not allowing anyone to read them, or only allowing high-level officials to read them ."
"This is true. Let me take another look and look for clues," said Sun Yu.
"Thank you for your hard work. Now that I have sorted this out, maybe I can talk about books again."
After playing more than ten rounds of Connect the Dots in the office, Jiang You felt that he had almost digested the lunch and milk tea. So he and Tang Butian left the Public Security Bureau and went to a restaurant not far from Tang Butian's residence. They arrived early and it was a weekday, so there were few people in the restaurant. They chose a sofa seat by the window and sat down.
There were some snacks on a plate on the table, which were lobster slices.
Jiang You flipped through the menu.
"Bak Kut Teh, we need four dragon bones, how about two per person?"
"good."
"This goose feet vermicelli pot looks delicious. Let's have some fish in sour soup. Do you want a staple food? Let's order some lemongrass fried rice. I don't think I've ever had it before..."
After the discussion, Jiang You called the waiter over to order the dishes. "Bak kut teh, four dragon bones... just these five dishes. Let's serve the tea first. Pu'er will be fine."
After the waiter left with the menu, Jiang You took a piece of lobster fillet and said while eating, "When I was a child, my family would fry this lobster fillet during the Chinese New Year."
Tang Butian reached out and took a piece as well.
Jiang You watched her take a bite and asked, "How was it?"
"Good."
Jiang You looked out the window. As it was getting closer to the end of the working day, there were more and more pedestrians on the road.
“It’s getting darker slowly now.”
The waiter brought tea.
Jiang You picked up the cup and took a sip. "Yang Xuan's show will be broadcast tonight. I'll watch it after we finish eating."
"Which station?"
"Wujiang TV, you should be able to watch it online," Jiang You touched another lobster slice, "I don't like that psychologist very much, but I think the guests invited to this show are all fuel. He might become popular. I don't like Liu Zeyan either. He has so many fans, they are especially good at screaming, and they are all little girls."
"fuel?"
"Seeking a psychologist is a very personal matter. If the show is general, no one will watch it. It will make you look foolish, have an emotional breakdown, or edit these things. There are dozens of cameras on the scene, and some reactions cannot be covered up even with a script."
The waiter brought the Bak Kut Teh. The soup was clear and white, with a faint smell of Chinese medicine.
"It is said to be able to invigorate blood circulation and remove blood stasis," Jiang You took a sip, "Not bad, delicious."
As he said that, Jiang You put down the bowl, picked up a dragon bone and dipped it in soy sauce.
Took a bite of meat.
