Instead, he leaned against the stone platform next to him and asked with a cheerful smile.

"Little Jiang."

"You're such a young girl, why are you doing this kind of work?"

With such a standard casual conversation start, how could Jiang Shi not know what this guy was planning next?

Considering that the other party had just bought two pieces of duck blood, I decided to give them a heads-up.

God's cooldown period is still ongoing; it would be really unreasonable to kick people out now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiang simply cleaned the table stone while casually replying as if to pass the time.

"What's wrong?"

"They look down on butchers."

...

"No way."

What I mean is, why don't you go to community school and learn some skills?

Learn a skill?

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiang suddenly remembered something.

The community director came over a couple of days ago and seemed to have talked to me about this.

They said they would help her get a spot in a vocational training program at a community school.

There are jobs like auto repair, hairdressing, and kindergarten teaching inside.

Specifically, she was busy collecting duck blood at the time and didn't pay attention, and she didn't even know where she put that form.

However, compared to learning a skill, she still felt that killing chickens suited her better.

At the very least, it can satisfy basic needs like food and clothing.

The only problem is that there is barely enough fresh duck blood. If we want to expand and strengthen our business in the future, we need to think of other ways.

"I can't learn it."

"And who said slaughtering is unsuitable for young girls?"

"Do you believe I can earn the title of one of the top ten butchers in the country?"

As he spoke, the man brandished the boning knife in his hand.

Chen Shaojie was genuinely amused by his imposing appearance.

To be honest, he noticed the little girl who was always hanging around the cutting board on his very first day at the market.

He was very thin and didn't take care of his appearance.

Every day, I squat on this dirty and chaotic little plot of land.

She does things that even ordinary adults are rarely willing to do, and she has none of the spoiled nature of an ordinary girl.

Chen Shaojie really liked this down-to-earth personality.

He even privately considered whether to take the girl back after completing the mission.

Given his status, finding this girl a decent job shouldn't be a problem for him.

However, just as he was about to continue teasing the girl and probe her further...

The alarm in my pocket suddenly started vibrating.

Immediately, Chen Shaojie's brows twitched imperceptibly, but his smile remained unchanged.

"Okay okay."

"Then your uncle will be waiting for your good news."

As he spoke, he picked up the bag of duck blood and walked happily out of the market.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jiang was curious as to why the uncle had suddenly run away.

But they adhere to the four-character motto, "It's none of my business."

She continued to leisurely scrub the counter, humming a tune that didn't belong to this world.

.........

the other side.

After leaving the market, Chen Shaojie quickly walked to a street corner.

The door of a van parked there was opened, revealing three busy figures inside.

"what happened?"

"Did you call me over because you have some message for me?" he asked curiously, looking at the woman who was watching the surveillance video.

He asked the question aloud.

Upon hearing the question, the latter, without turning his head, pointed to one of the chaotic lines on the screen and said:

"I think I've caught that thing by the tail."

Upon hearing this, Chen Shaojie immediately perked up.

You have to understand, they've put in so much effort these past few days trying to catch that thing.

They even borrowed this well-known trace evidence expert from the district, but they still couldn't find a trace of him.

Each time, they could only belatedly find a few rats that had become mummies.

But now that they say there's news, how could he not be excited?

He immediately stepped into the carriage, bent over, and stood beside the woman.

His eyes were fixed intently on the screen.

At this moment, while operating the computer, Lü Yan calmly spoke:

"This time, I want to thank the patrol team in the East Seventh District and your forensic friend from the Third Hospital."

"They calculated it."

"A profile of the transmission route has been obtained."

"Combined with my trace tracking, I finally arrived at this."

As she spoke, she tapped a key on the keyboard with her slender finger.

next second.

An irregular, linear spiral diagram appeared before Chen Shaojie.

Instinctively, he pointed to the center of the spiral.

"Where is this place?"

“It seems so…” The assistant next to him, looking at the map in his hand, interjected at the opportune moment.

"The live poultry section of the market..."

.........

Chapter Six: When did you go blind?

Xiao Jiang had a dream.

In her dream, she was sitting at a large round table eating.

One dish after another.

It was served up like flowing water.

Dishes like steamed young rooster, crispy roast duck, and salted goose.

But the one that tasted the best to her was the sea cucumber that someone had served up.

It's a very small one.

When you put it in your mouth, the texture is surprisingly smooth.

It has a crispy and fragrant aroma that only freshly baked sausages have.

However, these are not the most amazing things.

What shocked Jiang Shi the most was what happened after she chewed the thing up and swallowed it.

An indescribable warmth suddenly started from my stomach and spread throughout my body.

That feeling was like eating a hand warmer raw.

At the same time, a strange tingling sensation appeared on the skin.

Like being electrocuted.

Stimulating my skin over and over again.

Very comfortable.

It's as if many people are massaging themselves at the same time.

for a long time.

Just as she was about to become immersed in this feeling, she suddenly heard a series of light footsteps.

And they are getting closer and closer.

Ok?

Someone's here?

Jiang Shi opened her eyes groggily.

I got up, but realized that the sound didn't seem to be coming from inside the house.

Turn around.

I glanced at the brick-like phone on the bedside table.

1:20.

At this hour, the morning market hasn't opened yet...

The fishmongers' goods wouldn't necessarily end up in the live poultry section.

So, who is it?

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Shi still couldn't come up with a general idea.

I stretched.

I might as well get up.

I scraped some dust off the back of the bedside table and smeared it on my face.

Follow the sound.

But what he saw was a figure in plain clothes standing on the balcony outside his second-floor apartment, fiddling with something in front of his window.

Thief?

Xiao Jiang had this idea.

Without saying a word, he grabbed a boning knife from the cabinet and prepared to start a fight.

But when she noticed that the person fiddling with her window lock was the same patrolman who had bought duck blood from her stall a couple of days ago.

This is a bit unexpected.

however.

After Xiao Jiang saw a middle-aged man climbing the wall not far behind, he realized that...

The expressions on their faces were absolutely priceless.
