Azure is waiting for the smoke and rain, and I'm waiting for you.

This is a lyric in Fang Wenshan's work "Blue and White Porcelain", but it is this well-known lyric that contains a deep meaning.

Ru kiln, one of the five famous kilns, is known as "Ru kiln is the best" in the history of ceramics in China. Ru porcelain shape is simple and generous, the color is unique, the most beautiful is azure.

In the glaze firing stage of porcelain making, it is difficult to burn when it is azure, and it is necessary to wait until it rains to start firing, because the temperature and humidity at that moment are just right.

You don't know when it's going to rain, you just sit there and wait, and when the rain comes, it starts to burn the glaze, and under the excellent temperature and humidity, the most beautiful azure color comes out.

Therefore, you don't know when your other half will appear, you can only use your life to wait, there must be a moment, you happen to be there, he just comes, that is your most beautiful azure.

My name is Qin Mu, and I am a criminal police officer of the Serious Crime Group of the Ningzhou Public Security Bureau. It is subordinate to the Provincial Public Security Department and led by Shen Ruoshan, deputy director of the Ningzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau, and is responsible for handling all major cases nationwide.

Normally, the Serious Crime Team and the Criminal Police Team of the Ningzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau are responsible for handling some criminal cases in the jurisdiction, but as soon as we receive an order, we will immediately set off and go to a strange place to carry out an unfamiliar mission.

But there is only one purpose, to solve the case.

In my impression, I haven't seen my master for a long time, and I am also my boss Shen Ruoshan, at least after this Chinese New Year, I haven't seen him again.

Sometimes, it's just such a coincidence, that is, "people can't stand the chatter". Just as I was thinking about it, Shen Ruoshan walked into the office wearing a police uniform and a serious face.

He was the kind of person who was not angry and self-imposing, but now he had a straight face, and the aura he exuded made us subconsciously hold our breath.

"Zichuan County, the case of destroying the door, a family of three was brutally killed, the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau reported the situation to the Ningzhou City Public Security Bureau, this case is of a bad nature and cruel means, the Provincial Public Security Department attaches great importance to it, and requires your serious crime team to set off immediately."

……

Now, we have come to a place called Zichuan, which is named after "all the rocks are purple" according to the county annals.

Zichuan is a county-level city, west of Ningzhou City. Although Zichuan is a county-level city, the administrative level is the same as that of other county-level cities, but in terms of jurisdiction, it is under the jurisdiction of the province directly under the jurisdiction.

To put it bluntly, it is a county under the direct jurisdiction of the province.

The reason for this situation is very simple, that is, Zichuan is rich in products, especially mining resources, rich in purple sand mud (five-color soil), which is a very important raw material for making purple sand pots. Therefore, Zichuan is also known as the hometown of purple clay pots (many places in my country call themselves the hometown of purple clay pots, but I don't know which one is true.) ）

It is precisely because of this unique geographical advantage of Zichuan that a unique economic system has been formed, and its GDP has even tended to catch up with and surpass that of prefecture-level cities in the same province.

In addition to the unique economic system, there is also a unique cultural system, Zichuan has many craftsmen, handmade exquisite purple sand pots, forming a well-known purple sand culture.

But it was in such a place that there was a murder case, which is why our Serious Crime Team came here......

"The vernal equinox has passed, why is it still so cold?"

As soon as we stepped off the bus, we were greeted by a biting cold wind, which made us shiver.

Li Meng pinched his neckline even more and slammed a spirit.

The policemen from the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau who came to greet us shook hands very warmly: "I am Xiao Ligong, a criminal police officer of the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau, and you are the serious crime team, so I am relieved that you are here." ”

We changed into a police car from the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau and prepared to go to the county public security bureau to learn more about the case.

Shen Ruoshan only told us that this was a case of extermination, a family of three was brutally murdered at home, and the specific circumstances are not clear.

The car drove all the way, there were basically no pedestrians on the street, and the shops on both sides of the road were neatly arranged, all selling purple sand tea sets.

"This street sells purple sand tea sets, and the competition pressure is so great." Lin Zifan glanced out the window and muttered.

As soon as Lin Zifan's words fell, Xiao Ligong, who was driving, immediately took over and said: "These tea sets are sold to foreign tourists, and we locals don't buy them. If you're looking for some souvenirs, I can introduce you to the village's artisans, who are handmade and custom-made. ”

"Do you have a lot of craftsmen here?" Li Meng asked softly.

"We are the hometown of purple clay pots, and there are many craftsmen, but if we say that there are teachers, there are many less, and there are only three or four in the county. The most famous person lives in Liujiabao, called Hao Zhiqiang, who is said to have studied under Master Wu Yungen. The purple clay pot he made is a must, and if you want to buy it, I recommend you go to him. Xiao Ligong said to us very enthusiastically.

"Hao Zhiqiang? Why do I know this name well? After listening to him, I suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice.

"I also think this name is a little familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere." Jiang Tingbai, who was beside him, also muttered.

Then, Xue Hang slowly opened his mouth and said to us lightly: "It seems that there is this name on the file." ”

We analyzed for a while, and finally asked Xiao Ligong to reveal the answer to us: "This case of destroying the door is the police reported by Hao Zhiqiang." ”

"Hao Zhiqiang is a craftsman who makes purple clay pots, and he called the police? Does the dead have anything to do with him? I asked, a little puzzled.

Hearing my question, Xiao Ligong was slightly embarrassed, and said slowly: "The deceased is the buyer who asked him to make a purple clay pot......

His words made us very embarrassed, because he just recommended us to find this Hao Zhiqiang custom purple clay pot......

There was no word all the way, and the car quickly turned into the yard of the county public security bureau.

After we got out of the car, the head of the county public security bureau was standing at the door to greet us.

The director of the county public security bureau, although it sounds like he has a lot of power, but in terms of rank, he is the same as the head of the criminal police detachment of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, he is at the level of the department and belongs to the same level.

I used to be the head of the criminal police detachment of the Ningzhou Public Security Bureau, and although I experienced three years of life in the public security section in the middle, my administrative level was not reduced. Theoretically, I am at the same level as the director of the county public security bureau.

Later, I joined the Serious Crime Team, which is subordinate to the Provincial Public Security Department, and we were invited by the County Public Security Bureau to help, and we were guests, so it was not an exaggeration for the director of the County Public Security Bureau to greet us.
