Chapter 729 Knife Skills
The dream-chasing journey from mountain village to university
Deep in the rolling mountains of Guangxi, there is a quiet and remote mountain village called Taoyuan Village. The village is surrounded by green mountains, and a winding stream runs through the village, with several rows of dilapidated houses scattered by the stream. Cao Yuanyuan was born in an ordinary farm family in this small mountain village. Yuanyuan's parents are hardworking and simple farmers. They work hard in the fields every day and rely on a few acres of thin land to support their family's livelihood. There are also elderly grandparents in the family, who are not in good health and need to take medicine all year round. Although life is very difficult, Yuanyuan has shown extraordinary understanding and tenacity since she was a child. The only school in the village is a dilapidated tile house with only one teacher who teaches all courses from grade one to grade five. The desks and chairs in the classroom are uneven, and there are many broken glass on the windows. When winter comes, the cold wind blows in. But all this did not stop Yuanyuan's thirst for knowledge. Every morning, before daybreak, she gets up early, helps her mother prepare breakfast, takes care of her grandparents, and then walks for more than an hour along the rugged mountain road to school, carrying a schoolbag made of old cloth. In school, Yuanyuan is the student who listens most attentively. She always sits in the first row, staring at the teacher closely, not missing a single word the teacher says.
The kitchen dilemma after the loss of taste
In the steel mill in Beijing, Sha Zhu is a good cook in the kitchen. His full name is Xu Damao, but he is nicknamed Sha Zhu. He is burly and strong, with a round face that always looks silly, but in front of the stove, his hands seem to have a sense of charm. As he flips the pot and stirs the spoon, delicious dishes are freshly cooked. Every day, the workers look forward to meal time, just to taste the food made by Sha Zhu. In everyone's mind, the taste is better than the craftsmanship of the big restaurants in the city. But fate can change at any time. One morning, Sha Zhu walked into the kitchen humming a little song as usual, ready to show his skills. Just as he was about to start, he felt that his mouth was inexplicably bland, but he didn't take it seriously, thinking that he had caught a cold at night and had a poor appetite. Who would have thought that this was the beginning of a huge change in life. When it was time to cook, Sha Zhu followed his old habit and began to prepare the ingredients. He cut the meat, and his skillful knife skills made others give him a thumbs up. After cutting the meat, he started cooking, pouring oil, putting the food in the pan, and stir-frying, all in one smooth move.
Chasing the murderer in the dark night The night enveloped this quiet town, and the moonlight sprinkled on the narrow streets, casting strange shadows. A sharp scream broke the silence of the night sky and broke the peace of this small town. In the basement of an old residential building on the edge of the city, a murder occurred. In the early morning, the sun just sprinkled into the police station, and the captain of the criminal police team, Lin Yu, received a report. He was tall and straight, with deep and sharp eyes, revealing the calmness and competence accumulated over many years of criminal investigation work. Lin Yu quickly summoned the team members and rushed to the scene of the crime. The scene of the crime was filled with a disgusting smell of blood. The deceased was a middle-aged man who was stabbed to death with a sharp weapon. The body lay in the corner of the basement, and the surroundings were messy. It was obvious that he had a fierce fight with the murderer before his death. Lin Yu frowned and carefully observed every detail of the scene. The wounds on the body were deep and neat, and it was obvious that the murderer had some experience in committing crimes. There was no obvious sign of property loss at the scene, and the initial judgment was not robbery and murder. Lin Yu squatted down and checked the face of the deceased. The deceased's eyes were wide open, full of fear and unwillingness, as if he had seen something extremely terrible before he died.
Cold City Pursuit: A Mystery in Northeast China in the 80s In the old city of Northeast China in the s, the cold wind in winter cut people's cheeks like a knife, and the sky was always gray, which contrasted with the mottled old buildings on the street into a bleak picture. The city was filled with the smell of burning coal, mixed with the fireworks of life, adding a unique charm to this old industrial city. In the early morning of this day, the dawn broke through the clouds with difficulty and sprinkled in a narrow alley on the edge of the old city. Uncle Zhang, who lived at the entrance of the alley, got up early as usual to prepare for morning exercise, but he was frightened by the scene in front of him and collapsed to the ground just a few steps out of the house. Deep in the alley, a body lay in the snow, and the surrounding white snow had been stained red with blood, which was particularly dazzling in the weak light of the morning. Soon, the police received a report, and police cars roared to the scene of the crime. The captain of the criminal police team was Zhao Gang, who was in his forties, with a burly figure, and his face was covered with traces of vicissitudes of life. His piercing eyes showed the perseverance unique to Northeastern men. He had worked in the police force for many years, handled many cases, and was very experienced. When Zhao Gang and his team members arrived at the scene, many residents had already gathered around, and everyone was whispering and talking. The scene was quickly cordoned off by a cordon, and forensic doctors and technicians began to work intensively. The deceased was a middle-aged man with multiple knife wounds on his body, the fatal wound was on the chest, the wounds were deep and neat, and it was obvious that the murderer was ruthless and had certain experience in committing crimes. The deceased was dressed in ordinary clothes, and his belongings were not lost, which initially ruled out the possibility of robbery and murder. Zhao Gang frowned and observed the scene carefully. The footprints around the body were messy, and some of the footprints were blurred because it snowed last night. But Zhao Gang still found some clues. There was a group of smaller footprints with a small step distance. Judging from the depth of the footprints, the murderer was light in weight and was likely a woman. Next to the body, a blood-stained dagger was also found. The blood on the blade had dried up, and it exuded a disgusting smell in the cold air. Zhao Gang and his team members began to visit the surrounding residents, trying to understand the identity of the deceased and the circumstances of the incident. After some inquiries, it was learned that the deceased was named Sun Fu, who lived in this alley and was a worker in a nearby factory. Sun Fu was usually honest and had never had any grudges with anyone, so everyone had a good impression of him. But recently, Sun Fu's behavior was a bit abnormal. He often interacted with a strange woman. The two often quarreled in the alley, and the noise was very loud, which attracted the attention of neighbors. Zhao Gang felt that this strange woman was very suspicious. He and his team members began to check Sun Fu's social relations and look for clues about this woman. In the factory, Zhao Gang learned that Sun Fu had encountered some troubles at work recently. Because of an operational error, the factory suffered certain losses. He was criticized by his leaders and was in a bad mood. Zhao Gang felt that Sun Fu's death might be related to this incident. After several days of investigation, Zhao Gang finally found the woman who had close contacts with Sun Fu.
