Carrying a Jurassic on me

Chapter 143 - 19 The Meritorious Little Policeman_1

Chapter 143: Chapter 19 The Meritorious Little Policeman_1If a score were to be attributed to the skill of skinning a wild rabbit, Yan Fei would undoubtedly score full points.

Not only was he swift, but he also managed to skin the rabbit without harm to its fur or flesh. Yan Wenhai blinked, and in a blink of an eye, his son had skinned the rabbit as if performing acrobatics.

"Just like Butchering the Ox, just like Butchering the Ox!" One elderly man said learnedly.

Yan Wenhai chuckled, as if praising himself: "Everyone come here and have some rabbit in a while..."

It was a mere courtesy, nobody took it seriously.

If you really wanted to share something with someone, it was customary to deliver it personally.

Health instructions emphasised a hearty breakfast, preferably a light one.

This was a rule for those who indulged in meat every day. For students who had to abstain from meat for a month once they entered the campus, it didn’t matter whether it was early in the morning or midnight, they would still wake up to a pot of red-braised pork.

So, naturally, the greasy wild rabbit meat delivered by Yan Fei early in the morning was warmly received.

After breakfast, Yan Fei took Yan Chao, the nauseating little fellow, to buy clothes. Describing this brat as nauseating was certainly not wronging him; this boy wanted to eat stinky tofu, orchid beans, cotton candy, and various snacks throughout the journey.

Yan Fei always thought he was too slow eating while walking, so he let him ride on his neck.

As a result, Yan Fei’s head was peppered with droplets of stinky tofu juice and countless bits of orchid beans. Worse still, the kid farted after eating too much, much to Yan Fei’s disdain.

Yan Fei felt quite pitiful. However, there were others even worse off than him.

Officer Li nibbled on the cucumber Yan Fei had given him, rested for quite a while, then went to a breakfast shop where he gulped down two big bowls of tofu pudding and ate fifteen small fried buns, only then did he feel somewhat reenergized.

He didn’t even have time to catch his breath upon arriving at his office when Uncle Wang pulled him away.

En route, Uncle Wang pedalled so fast that it was nearly airborne, leaving no chance for Li to ask what was going on.

Exhausted, they arrived at the living district near Zhang Laosan’s house. There was already a crowd of spectators gathered, and some early-arriving colleagues were inquiring about the situation.

Li approached a familiar colleague intending to ask about the situation. The colleague pointed: "Go and see for yourself!"

After making his way through the crowd, he immediately thought: Was I crazy this morning? Why did I eat that much?

By the dung pit, a corpse covered in fecal sludge lay. The sight was nauseating - a man suffocated to death by fecal sludge, how could that be pleasant?

He was plagued by extreme fatigue and a stomach full of food. He felt like he was dying. To resist the urge to vomit, Li had to imagine all sorts of pleasant things, but what kind of smell was around the dung pit? It had been fermenting for decades. Because of retrieving a dead body, it had been stirred up, the smell was unimaginable.

In short, he was utterly disgusted and uncomfortable.

When his colleagues started declaring that the deceased had fallen in by accident, Officer Li grew discontent. He turned to Uncle Wang and said: "Just yesterday his brother had an accident, he had just announced a reward, and now something happens to him at night, could it be a mere coincidence?"

Uncle Wang glared at him before whispering: "Don’t ask now. We will first placate the surrounding residents, when we return we can quietly investigate. Can we directly speak of the situation here?"

"Oh!" Li replied, choking back his nausea, finally understanding.

As soon as he returned to the office, a meeting was called. In the end, it was concluded - there were many doubts, but insufficient evidence. Zhang Laosan’s family and friends had played cards for a long time before they realized he hadn’t returned - then, they began

As a result, Officer Li, who still hadn’t figured things out, soon received the task assignment. He was very dissatisfied. He had finally gotten a murder case and he wasn’t allowed to investigate it. After dawdling for a long time, unwillingly and dragging his exhausted body, he prepared to pack up and head to the countryside.

In fact, the junior officer did "make a meritorious service," it’s just that no one knew about it. Yes, he "made a meritorious service" for Yan Fei - successfully proving that Yan Fei didn’t leave the residential area all night and only went out for physical exercise at dawn.

Yan Fei didn’t know that the junior officer tailing him not only did him a huge favor but also went down to the countryside. In the afternoon, he did nothing again but honestly play with his younger brother.

Not only that, but this was also the case for two consecutive days. Except for returning to the cattle farm once and soaking some medicinal wine, the rest of the time was spent running around with his brother. In the morning he went around the cattle market, in the afternoon he strolled in the streets and lanes, fully implementing Fifth Brother’s idea of ’forgetting the whole thing.’

In fact, if it weren’t for Zhang Laowu’s elder brother, the day he unintentionally killed Zhang Laowu he could have chosen not to run around. Killing a thief unintentionally is genuinely not a big deal these days, of course, deliberately murdering Zhang Laosan later is another matter.

Luckily, he inadvertently created a ’suicide’ scene and had a "helpful" junior officer indirectly providing his alibi - he even gave the poor guy half a cucumber as a "thank you gift"!

Initially he thought he would continue living like this for the next few days, but Yanfei’s mom had had enough.

The young kid Yan Chao was living like a god these days, with a ’horse’ to ride and eating whatever he saw, his life was too leisurely and carefree. Unfortunately, too much happiness breeds sorrow. The kid was eating so much outside and was not hungry at home anymore. His parents could put up with it once or twice, but they had allowed it for three to four days, and that was enough.

So on the fourth day, the little guy was sent to kindergarten early in the morning with a runny nose and his ear twisted by his mother.

So, when Yan Fei had finished delivering food to Xu Xiaoyan and stepped out of the school gate, he was at a loss.

What should he do now?

There’s nothing much to see at the Cattle Market, and thinking about his usual meals of big chunks of meat cooked in a pot, it was just a change of flavor even though there were not really any variations.

These past few days he’s been coming up with ways to prepare food to deliver to Xu Xiaoyan, and now he was running out of ideas.

Alright then, let’s go to Fifth Brother’s restaurant, let’s see how their head cook prepares the meals. After all, he could learn a few tricks!

When Yan Fei arrived at the beef restaurant it was still early, at that moment Fifth Brother was helping others butcher a cow.

Fifth Sister-in-law, who was rarely up this early, was in the courtyard watching the carpenter work.
