Ning Yuan graduated from college last year and was assigned to work in the Ministry of Public Security by relying on his family's connections. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Usually he doesn't have any hobbies, he just likes to read some books, especially all kinds of novels, domestic and foreign, orthodox and popular, basically everyone who comes.

Literary periodicals such as "Flower City", "October", "Contemporary", and "Harvest", he basically bought them on a regular basis, and when he went to a newsstand near the ministry today, Ning Yuan saw that the new issue of "Harvest" had arrived that had not arrived yesterday.

Yesterday he bought a copy of October and was a little disappointed to see any articles he particularly liked.

And "Harvest" is his favorite among the four small celebrities, because the style of this journal is relatively open, and there are often many articles that surprise him.

For example, he watched Lu Wenfu's "Gourmet" some time ago.

It's even much better and more interesting than the "Divine Whip" he saw on "Harvest" a long time ago.

It can be said that this is what he thinks is a masterpiece in his heart, and the only drawback may be that the length of this novel is too short, only 50,000 words, which can only be regarded as a novella, which is really not enjoyable to read.

Because Ning Yuan often came to buy books, the owner of the newsstand was already very familiar with him, and when he saw Ning Yuan coming over again, the newsstand owner took the initiative to chat with him.

"It's nice to have a new novel on today's Harvest!"

As he spoke, the newsstand owner raised the latest issue of "Harvest" that he was holding in his hand towards Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan is also very familiar with the owner of the newsstand.

When he heard the boss say this, he also smiled, this boss is also a book lover like him, and he usually likes to read books, and whenever he or the other party sees something very beautiful and interesting, he will also recommend it to each other.

It's just that the two of them have similar tastes about the book, basically what they think is good, the other party will also think it's good, and vice versa.

"What's your name?"

Since the other party said so, the manual must be worth reading, and looking at the other party's excited look, the quality of this book is likely to be very good.

Ning Yuan thought so.

I picked up a copy of "Harvest" from the booth of the newsstand owner, flipped through it, and asked by the way.

"The one at the beginning of the fifth page is called "The Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty"!"

The newsstand owner said with a smile.

Ning Yuan turned to the fifth page, and sure enough, it was the "Criminal Officer of the Great Song Dynasty" that the other party said, and he also wrote an editor's note at the beginning, he just glanced at it and closed the journal.

"It's still a mystery novel."

Ning Yuan smiled, he liked speculative novels very much, because these kinds of books are very interesting books, and he is also a policeman, so he has a strong liking for this kind of book, although he is only a member of the ministry and commission, not a front-line police officer.

At the beginning, I let my family get myself into the Ministry of Public Security, also because I read a lot of mystery novels when I was in college.

Ning Yuan looked at his watch, it was not early, and he had to go to breakfast, and then he had to go to the unit, so he didn't continue to chat with the newsstand owner, he paid directly, took a copy and left.

I came to a small shop where I often had breakfast.

This shop was opened by one of his former colleagues, many people in the ministry did not know at that time, this colleague was his senior, many years older than him, a traditional person from Beijing.

At that time, I also asked the other party why he suddenly went into the sea.

The old colleague told him that he was only suspended without pay anyway, and he was basically at the end of his life in the ministry, and there was no good promotion opportunity if he stayed any longer.

At that time, there were really not many people who dared to do this.

In the future, Ning Yuan will often come to his shop to eat, which can be regarded as taking care of the other party's business.

But unexpectedly, the wife of my old colleague is a very good cook, and the breakfast is very delicious, so there are more customers who come and go here.

When Ning Yuan came, it happened that his colleague was collecting money.

"Lao Ling, here are four buns."

As he spoke, Ning Yuan picked a clean table and sat down, and at the same time greeted his old colleague.

The middle-aged man who Ning Yuan called Lao Ling also smiled at him when he saw Ning Yuan coming, and then put four steaming meat buns on a plate and brought them to him.

"Do you want to drink porridge or tofu brain?" Lao Ling put the plate containing the meat bun in front of Ning Yuan, and asked casually at the same time.

"Tofu brain, I've been drinking porridge for a few days, and I don't want to drink it very much."

Ning Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay......"

Lao Ling nodded, turned around and filled Ning Yuan with a bowl of white and tender tofu brain, then poured a tablespoon of leeks, red oil, chopped pickles and coriander, and finally poured a spoonful of steaming bone broth.

In this era, there is no controversy about whether tofu brain is sweet or salty.

The way to eat tofu brain in the north is basically the same, bone broth or chicken soup with leek red oil pickled cabbage, if you don't want to eat spicy, you can also don't put red oil, but the most important thing is the broth.

Without the broth, a bowl of tofu brain will lose the most important part of the essence.

At this time of eating, Ning Yuan also looked at the "Harvest" he had just bought, spread out this journal on the table, and turned to the fifth page, which was the page of "The Great Song Ti Criminal Officer".

At the beginning, the editor's note had a very brief review of the book, and in this editor's note, the editor of Harvest magazine spoke highly of the novel.

talked about the reason why this very popular mystery novel will be on "Harvest" at such a large length.

After all, "Harvest" is still a fiction journal with serious literary themes in the final analysis.

This is followed by a profile of the character.

This character is called Song Ci and is a native of the Song Dynasty.

Ning Yuan hadn't heard of it, but he saw that in this very short introduction, he spoke very highly of this person named Song Ci, saying that he was the world's earliest forensic scientist, the founder of forensic identification recognized at home and abroad, and the originator of forensic science.

This intrigued him.

After all, he worked in the Ministry of Public Security, even though he was only an agency officer.

However, he remembered that Lao Ling used to be a front-line police officer, and he was transferred to the agency because he had made meritorious service and was injured, and he had been working in the forensic department since then.

So Ning Yuan raised his head and asked Lao Ling, who was on the counter: "Lao Ling, have you ever heard of a person named Song Ci, from the Song Dynasty?" ”

When Lao Ling heard this, his brows furrowed, he was a little strange how this former colleague of his would ask him this question, but the name was somewhat familiar, but for a while he really couldn't remember where he had heard it. (To be continued.) )
