Office.

A place where Devil’s Ivy thrived.

Devil’s Ivy reflecting off the clear surface of water.

Spider plants cradling cigarette butts in flowerpots.

The air conditioning was blowing.

Outside the window, Dazhuang and Wu Junhao’s shouts could be heard.

The K9 unit and the first squadron bathed together in the sunlight, sweating as they ran towards the blaze of the sun.

Happy and content.

Jiang Yuan sat back in his seat, opened the images sent over the intranet, and looked through them one by one.

Wu Jun had long stopped paying attention to him, even taking on a lot of other work proactively—for his wonderful illusion of getting paid without working, it only lasted a few weeks before shattering, and because it was short-lived, there were no withdrawal symptoms.

Especially since Chunghwa cigarettes were great to smoke, and the bonus smelled even better.

Jiang Yuan, on the other hand, copied out the images and tried to process them in batches first.

Since the demands weren’t high, allowing the software to automatically process the noise was enough.

Soon, the mainframe started howling.

Jiang Yuan stood up, unwrapped a fresh pack of Chunghwa, and called out to Wu Jun, “Master, want a cigarette?”

The office was as noisy as if there was a dragon or a fat man snoring inside, and Wu Jun certainly didn’t want to stay there, either.

Seeing the soft Chunghwa, Wu Jun gave a fair assessment, “At least the new computer sounds better than the old one.”

Indeed, the old computer sounded like a dragon or a fat man being slaughtered, much more shrill.

The two went straight up to the rooftop.

Wu Jun smoked a Chunghwa and enjoyed the breeze, suddenly feeling that this was the life he had dreamt of.

And on second thought, it indeed was.

No matter how much his salary was, his monthly budget for cigarettes and alcohol was fixed.

The Chunghwa cigarettes occasionally given to him by Jiang Yuan significantly elevated his standard of living.

By comparison, work seemed more like an exercise to stretch the muscles.

“The pace has been pretty good lately,” Wu Jun remarked, alert enough not to go on.

A few cigarettes later, Jiang Yuan’s phone alerted him that the image processing was complete.

Descending together, Wu Jun specifically took a dragon statue out of his drawer and formally paid his respects to it.

Jiang Yuan’s eyelids twitched, and he asked, “Master, what’s this new trick of yours?”

“Don’t dismiss it; it really is a new trick.

I asked the abbot of the temple about it,” Wu Jun replied, a bit smug as he carefully inserted the incense sticks, whispered, “You know, online everyone’s talking about slacking off, right?”

“Mm-hmm.”

“Think about it, who’s the best at slacking off?”

Jiang Yuan, looking at the dragon on Wu Jun’s desk, ventured, “Dragon God?”

“No, the Dragon King!” corrected Wu Jun.

“In the Dragon Palace, what do you find most other than turtles, crabs, and shrimp?

It’s fish.

Other than slacking, what else does the Dragon King do?

Alright, let me try it first; if it works, I’ll teach you the details later.”

As Wu Jun spoke, he opened a notebook and began to take notes.

Forensic doctors, after all, are very meticulous.

They wouldn’t just do something simply because someone told them to.

Even when praying to gods, Wu Jun would carefully make an analysis.

Jiang Yuan even saw his master making a meticulous chart…

Jiang Yuan silently returned to his computer and ran through the images again, one by one.

The clarity of most images had been significantly improved, though some were not done well.

Jiang Yuan set those aside for individual attention later.

There were 35 images in total, involving about seven or eight cases, most of which were contract fraud.

Jiang Yuan wasn’t very concerned about the case details, much like most criminal science personnel.

Handling the evidence well was of the utmost importance.

Having completed the tasks, Jiang Yuan still sent the images to Li Suigong over the intranet and then called him up.

“Ah, Doctor Jiang.

I was just about to call you,” Li Suigong answered with a smile; although Jiang Yuan couldn’t see it, his voice was brimming with warmth, “I’ve just received an alert.

A crime suspect has been spotted at a checkpoint in Jianbei Province, and my colleagues and I are tracking them.”

“That’s excellent news,” Jiang Yuan’s mood lifted.

“Oh, what’s the reason for your call?”

“The images you wanted, I’ve finished processing and sent them over the intranet.

Take a moment to receive them,” said Jiang Yuan.

“That fast?” Li Suigong was incredibly surprised.

Over the past years, whenever he needed similar image enhancements, he had to apply to the provincial office.

Since Qinghe City didn’t have a fully formed Image Investigation team, and many other counties and cities just like Qinghe were the norm in Shannan Province.

And so, Li Suigong was used to the routine of being happy just submitting images on Monday and getting them on Friday.

Sometimes, when the office was swamped, receiving them the following Monday or even Friday was considered normal.

But Jiang Yuan’s speed, sending images in the morning and having them done before noon, was unheard of…

Li Suigong hurriedly opened the internal network to look at the pictures.

What he saw were portrait photos after portrait photos emerging, lifelike…

no, they should be called incomparably clear, better quality than what the Image Reconnaissance Brigade had sent over.

The colleagues in the office were extremely surprised when they saw them, and quickly asked Li Suigong to open the original photos to look.

Unlike fingerprint images, when normal people see two facial images, they can easily distinguish whether it is the same person without any training.

And the comparison between the original images and the portraits undoubtedly drew a clear conclusion:

Complete and clear image enhancement!

“Wow, the image you have created is, to be honest, I feel it’s even better than what the Image Reconnaissance Brigade does,” Li Suigong was full of compliments, “So amazing, really amazing.

You’re much better than our province’s Image Reconnaissance Brigade, their work, really…”

Jiang Yuan just smiled.

After joining the department, he realized that practicing technology for those who had it, and playing soccer for those without, were both a way of life.

He had dealt with the Image Reconnaissance Brigade of the provincial office during the fingerprint campaign, and they were indeed very subpar.

And it was true, if the ceiling level for the provincial fingerprint experts was the top LV3, the skill ceiling for the provincial Image Reconnaissance Brigade was basically stuck at the bottom of LV3.

And the gap between these two levels was enormous.

Li Suigong, not knowing the levels but looking at the efficiency and outcome, had not expected Jiang Yuan to be streets ahead of them.

On one side, they couldn’t produce anything in half a month, and even when they did, it was blurry, like a multiple times pirated adult film.

On this side, it seemed as clear as if they were at the filming site…

Such a gap!

He was thoroughly convinced, truly deserving of Second Class Merit.

Some people are just born for this profession.

Jiang Yuan, who naturally possessed the Forensic Medicine System, humbly said, “Captain Li, if you need anything else, just come to me.”

If they had such a technician, wouldn’t their Economic Investigation Brigade be overflowing with bonuses, so much so that they would get criticized for showing off on social media?

Li Suigong felt like he wanted to call him dad right away.

“Dad…

after this case is over, I’ll tell you, Jiang, I’ll offer you a cigarette later.

You Jiang Village People have so much money, if there’s anything, come to me right away.”

Jiang Yuan agreed amicably.

Jiang Village people have a lot of money and may indeed need Captain Li’s help a lot in the future.

Li Suigong spoke effusively, almost as if he was ready to worship Jiang Yuan.

The Economic Investigation Brigade didn’t have a Criminal Science and Technology Squadron, they always used someone else’s technicians.

From that perspective, Li Suigong too had lived by his wits for a long time, and his words were pleasing.

After hanging up the phone, Li Suigong was still full of energy, almost feeling like standing up and wrestling with someone.

The colleagues in the office looked at Li Suigong with strange eyes.

“Li, you’re laying it on a bit thick with the flattery, aren’t you?

The guy’s just a new forensic doctor,” they said.

Li Suigong ignored him, sat down, and looked at the thirty-something photos in front of him with a heh heh heh laugh, as if pure and simple photographs?

These were steps of progress.

Just think, if they could ask Jiang Yuan to help with image processing in the future, how much effort would it save, how many cases would it solve?

And Jiang Yuan did such a good job!

It was said to be much better than those arrogant ones at the provincial Image Reconnaissance Brigade.

“I’ll upload them to the database first,” Li Suigong couldn’t be bothered to explain to his colleagues.

It was better if they misunderstood; it would save him the trouble of them wanting to snatch Jiang Yuan from him later.

Li Suigong quickly finished uploading to the database and immediately stood up to search through the wall cabinet.

Seeing Li Suigong’s hurried manner, a colleague who had just entered the door laughed, “What’s this rush for?

Did the teacher call the parents to school again?”

“No, I had put a pack of tea here before…” Li Suigong thought to bring Jiang Yuan something to solidify their relationship.

A pack of tea wasn’t worth much, but it did show some thoughtfulness.

The rest of the Economic Investigation office could guess Li Suigong’s intent, and with a hint of skepticism mixed with inquiry, said, “Li, you’re not going to give gifts to the criminal department again, are you?

Spending your own money for official business?”

“Haven’t I done enough for official business?” Li Suigong snorted, unconcerned, since Economic Investigation and Criminal Investigation were quite different.

“I have an extra pack here; you can take it,” one of the officers, having guessed what was going on, came over with a pack of tea, handing it over to Li Suigong with a grand gesture, “Consider it my contribution.”

“You…,” Li Suigong was a bit helpless.

Being cops, they all had too keen a nose.

Just as he was considering, his phone “ding-donged” with a notification.

This alert tone was very common, but it was specially set by Li Suigong.

He immediately jumped to the computer, opened the internal network, and started to check.

There was new information on the case that Jiang Yuan was concerned about.

The damn show-off, posing as a medical doctor in Qi Province…

Li Suigong’s eyes spun as he said, “Old Pu, if you really want in, come with me on a trip.”
