The sun was blazing at its peak, the golden sunlight showcasing its power to the fullest.

In three pots as big as osmanthus trees, the sizzling hot stir-fried pork intestines, pork stomach, and chicken glistened with oil, looking like a super unhealthy yet super delicious dish packed with excessive fat, protein, and purines.

“Come, everyone, dig in.

The last time we had this dish together was during the case of the scavenger.

Thinking back, it feels like it’s been a long time…” Hou Lejia said, filled with emotion.

For him, the neighboring Ningtai County had indeed undergone too many changes.

His old rival Huang Qiangmin had been promoted to Deputy Director, which wasn’t too surprising.

Nowadays, many city criminal police captains were being promoted to Deputy Directors; it was just a change in position.

They still dealt with the same matters.

Moreover, there were things like Jiang Yuan’s Cold Case Squad and the arrival of people like Director Chai…

To him, time seemed to accelerate due to the influence of Ningtai County, making the ordinarily mundane months feel fleeting.

In the past, Hou Lejia was such a thrifty man; it was impossible to treat people to a luxurious meal like stir-fried pork intestines and stomach with chicken on a whim.

Instead, he’d start with a simple meal, saving wherever possible, followed by a lavish feast and then another break to save up.

This way, he could save the cost of at least three meals.

But this time it was different.

The Qinghe City Bureau wanted to launch a “Cold Case Breakthrough Year.” In Hou Lejia’s understanding, it meant that each county bureau had to go to Huang Qiangmin or Jiang Yuan to compare notes.
